Interest TAKEN IN
Pure seed GRAINS

FARGO, N. D., Dec. 24.-That the
farmers and seedmen OF the state are
really taking an interest in the state
pure seed laboratory is evidenced by
a summary of the second biennial re-
port of this division to the governor.
During the past two seasons the
seed experts, o. A. Stevens and J. R.
Campbell, under the direction Of Pro
fessor Eolley, have examined, ana.
lyzed and tested 11,629 samples OF
sowing seed to determine their fit.
ness for sowing purposes.
Seed inspectors have collected g..
400 samples from seed bins of tle-
vators and seed-houses. Seed.houses
have voluntarily submitted approx
mately LOO samples, and to the
farmer is credited approximately s.
1870 samples of seed for analyses AID
test.
One hundred seventy-two fields of
seed grain, chiefly bromus and fax, a
total area of 9,77O acres, were care
fully inspected upon request of the
respective owners. This is a new line
of educational WORK.

PRISONERS INSIST ON
COMING BACK here

FARGO, N. d., Dec. 24.-Just what
to do with John Maloy and Billy"
Richie is a quandary. They are try.
ing to break into the Bismarck peni-
Tertiary again, and while the Cass
county authorities are nothing loath
to have them there, still it Is be-
lieved that while they admitted to
four separate and distinct cases OF
larceny on Friday night, they cannot
be charged with grand larceny. They
have also been sent up heretofore for
grand larceny, and it was at first
thought that this second offense
would entit!e them to go back to pri.
son, but 1T is found that the law reads
that where a la is convicted the
second time of petty larceny he
may be sent to the pen. They were
convicted Of grand larceny, Sc that
will let them out.
They admitted that they want to go
back to Bismarck. MalOy is about
IS years old and has served twelve
years, while Richie. who is partly
paralyzed, has served time in the
same institution and they both fatty
told the officers that if they didn't
get into the pen, they would keep on
stealing until they got there. States
Attorney Fowler is looking into the
case.

EDUCATORS HELD A
MEETING At fargo

FARGO, N. D., Dec. 24.--The state
educational commission. which was
appointed by Governor Burke on the
authority of an act of the legislature,
to inquire INTO the public schools with
a view of making recommendations
for the betterment of the schools held
a meeting yesterday in the office Of
Hon. Walter l.. Stockwell, at the Ma
sonic temple. Those attending the
commission were, President McVey Of
the state university of Grand Forks:
President Worst Of the Agricultural
college of Fargo; President McFar.
land of the state normal school Of
Valley City; Hon. U. l.. Burdick, OF
Williston. 'ormer speaker of the house
of representatives, and George T. Nc
Farland of Glendale.
This will be the last meeting that
the commiss.o on will hold prior to
making its report to the legislature,
which convenes next month. AS the
members Of the commission believe
that 1t Is fitting that the legislature
should first have the result of its de.
liberations nothing il to be given out
in regard to its findings until that
time. . ..

red, throwing the hot water many feet
in the air and spreading it around for
many feet. Mr.. Luithle was in charge
OF the engine and there were several
of the men lowering about to keep
warm. All them escaped miraculously
without much injury, except three:
Christ Jose, the fireman, was scalded
badly; Adam Fischer, who was doing
team work, was also burned quite q
little, and Jacob Luithle had his face
severely scalded.
1t was 4 mighty lucky thing that
no one happened to be at the rear end
OF the engine from where the main
force seemed to eminate.
The accident put the owner to con-
siderable expense, but Mr.. Luithle
thinks they were quite fortunate in
not having any fatalities as a result
thereof.

GAS FRANCHISE
IS IN DISPUTE
Some Of City Commissioners
are In Doubt as to Length
Of Franchise
City Attorney Going to Saint
Paul to Adjust Bill Of
Reed ( Stem

The board of city commissioners
met in regular session last night.
Present, commissioners H%iackley,
Jackson and President Williams.
The minutes of last meeting were
read and approved.
City Attorney Register appeared be-
fore the board and stated that he had
not yet taken time to consider the
Lair gas proposition, but that if nee
essary he would have an answer ready
for the next meeting of the commits
sion.
There seems to be some difference
of opinion between the members OF
the commission regarding the grant
ing of a gas franchise to Mr.. Lair,
under the terms offered by him. Dur
ing an informal discussion of the mat
ter some OF the members mentioned
that it was illegal to gran any concern
or corporation a 30 year franchise and
members of the board are also of
the opinion that the maximum rates
are too high. ,.
The city attorney made a statement
to the commission to the effect that
he intended making a trip to St. Paul
next month, sometime between the
LIST and the 18th, and if the members
wished he would talk with Messrs.
Kellogg, Davis & Severance regarding
their bill against the city of Bismarck
for drawing plans and. specifications
for the proposed auditorium. The
CITY auditor was instructed to write
Messrs. Kellogg, Davis & Severance
and ask them to refrain from taking
any action in the matter until Mr..
Register had an opportunity to talk
with them.
Commissioner Hinckley opened an
informal discussion of the practice
followed by so many residents of the
city throwing ashes into boxes, bar
rels and against fences. He said that
it was a dangerous practice and a fire
causing thousands of dollars worth
of damage might be the result. Com.
missioner Jackson said that other
cities had found a way of putting a
STOP to such things and that a way
should be found to prevent it here.
This discussion was followed by one
regarding the matter Of allowing the
sidewalks in the" residence districts
to become blocked with snow and the
failure of SO many people to remove
the snow III front of their homes after
the snow pillow had cleared the street.
Street Commissioner German sug.
gested that it was necessary to pur.
chase another snow pillow for the city
if the work Of clearing the walks thru
out the city was to be done as prompt
ly az 1T should be. Commissioner
Hinckley moved that a steel snow
pillow be purchased by the city and the
motion was seconded by Commission
err jackson. Upon rolA call Commits
sioners Hinckley, Jackson and Presi'
dent Williams voted Aye.
After the granting Of several bills
Of a minor nature the board adjourn

Of Villa came to Mott, bringing the
news Of AN accident which occurred
near Villa, which might have resulted
in a score of deaths, had not the hand
of Providence been resting upon the

Of Henry Jose at a period II the
morning, when the threshiny rig, be.
longing to Jacob Luithle, was about

BEN1LYMANInREA1ENS
TO Do HIMSELF Harm

MOTT, N. d., Dec. PA man by
the. name Of Matt Lynch, who has
been working for Philip Magsted, the
thresher, caused no little consterna-
ton around the Bentley neighborhood
by brandishing a loaded revolver
around his head and threatening to
kill himself with the weapon. He was
finally overpowered and Sheriff Barry
notified. The sheriff Immediately went
to the scene and brought Lynch to
Mott upon an insanity charge made
by Lynch's friend, Oscar Johnson.
with whom Lynch had been staying.
The insanity board met and a hearing
was given the man. The fellow admit
ted he had been drinking to excess,
which he thought was partially the
cause of his rash acts. He claimed
that there were influences working
antagonistic to his social affairs over
there and that too, caused him to 60
on the val path.
However, after his Incarceration,
which gave him a chance to sober up,
he felt disposed to leave the country
and Judge Dewey, of the board sent
him back to Bentley with Mrs. John
son to gather up his belongings and
it is understood he left for the east.
Relations of the young lady, with
whom Lynch was enomored, were op.
posed to the love affair, which, Lynch
said, was to have eliminated in mat.
rimong the coming winter. This fact,
coupled together with the booze. caus.
ed the young man-who is really not
a bad appearing fellow-to lose his
head temporarily, but was quite ra.
tiOnal at the hearing.

King George Suggests Vacation Until

Hurting Book at Churchill.

London, Eng, Nov. 14--FOlOwing
the riot Of last night the house Of
commons this afternoon adjourned IN
til Monday. acting on the suggestion
which is believed to have emanated
from king George himself
The proposal was made by speaker
LOWther, who intimated that 1t would
be advisable for the house to take
further time to consider the points at
issue" between the two factions in re-
gard to the home rule measure
A graceful apology from Ronald Nc
cill, the Unionist member who hurled
a book at winston Churchill, first lord
Of the admiralty, during the disturb
ance, helped to cool the atmosphere to-
day. Churchill accepted the apology
with equal heartiness.
Speaker LOWther in his remarks sug-
gested that the members take a period
Tor relaxation and emphasized the IN
desirability Of parliament departing
from its established precedents- he
could not help thinking, he said that
some solution Of the difficulty might
be found which would be acceptable to
all parties and would be more in ac-
cOrdance with precedent.
