THE BOOTH
MEMORIAL
interesting Services Were Held
Yesterday
Rev. Dr.. Walters, Dr.. Creegan
and Others Spoke

The altar draped in purple and
white in honor of the dead command
er, the Salvation Army and people
of Fargo met yesterday afternoon at
the local barracks to do honor to the
memory of General Booth, whose life
was spent in doing good. The hall
was two thirds full and the interest
shown was intense throughout the
meeting, The exercises were opened
with the hymn Jesus Lover, of My
Soul and DR.. c. c. Creegan, president
Of Fargo college presided. After a.
short talk, there was a short service
of songs rendered, the songs being
selected from among the ones that
the dead commander had loved. These
were followed by statistics of what
the army had been doing all over the
world, read by Captain Bell Of the To-
cal corps.
DR.. Creegan extolled Commander
Booth as one of the greatest christian
workers the world had ever known
and said that he did not believe that
the general knew when he had started
his work, what great possibilities
there were in it. He compared the
work of Booth with that of John Wes-
other great leaders in religious work.
He was followed by Rev. Mr.. Abbott,
of the Presbyterian church of Moor
head, who talked of the work that had
been done by the army In London and
over the world. He told of the ways
that the many workers, both girls and
men, had of reaching the masses, and
his address was most interesting.
He was followed by Capt. Bert
- 90
Fargo, who rendered an original solo,
entitled Boundless Salvation. and was
accompanied by his guitar.
The principal address of the after
noon was delivered by Rev. DR.. J. M.
Walters, and he was at his best, as
he told of the life's work of the great
leader. and he gave brief history of
the life of the general He talked
of him as as prophet, as a martyr
and as a great leader, and said that
the world seldom produced such men.
He said 1t was in the man from boy
hood and you could not keep such a,
man from making a name for himself
in the world. He talked of the con-
version of Booth who had been raised
an Episcopal, in the Methodist church
at the age Of Is and from that on his
career was cut out for him. He said
that Booth was the kind of man
who saw what was to be done and
did his best to do 1t. He was kind,
firm and had good executive head,
and his work grew with him.
DIR. Walters then took up the be-
ginning Of the Salvation Army work
and followed it on down to the pres
ent time, told of the thousands who
had been saved through its efforts, and
closing told of the great funeral that
was given the dead man. which was
equaled only by that of the kings Of
the world. He said one OF the great
lessons to be learned from such life
was that Of meeting people on their
own level.
The address was a mastery one and
was listened to with great attention.

Two very interesting and helpful
sermons on the propriety of the OBJ
servance of Labor day and the solu-
tion of the labor problem in this coun-
try were preached last night by Rev.
j. M. Walters of the First Methodist
church and Rev. A. e. Peterson of the
First Baptist church. Both services
were well attended by large number
of the representative laboring men of
the city.
Rev. Mr.. Walters took as his text
from the fourth commandment: Re-
member the Sabbath day to keep it
holy; six days shalt thou labor and do
all that thou has to do but the sew
enth day is the Sabbath of the Lord
thy God; in 1t thou shalt do no man
ner of work. thou and thy son, and
thy daughter, thy man servant and
thy maid servant, thy ass, thy cat
tie and the stranger that is within
thy gates, etc. ..
The speaker said less attention was
now being paid to the holiness of
the Sabbath day and he strongly re-
proved all such corporations that
compelled its employees to work on
Sunday, especially naming the rail-
roads and the Sunday newspapers. He
felt that all labor should be dignified
and given as much consideration as
any of the professions and he made
a strong plea for the universal observ-

GOV. WILSON
ASSAILED

His First Discussion Of Roose-
welt Movement
Delivered Labor Day Address
at Buffalo
FlayS the Roosevelt Minimum
Wage Idea

Buffalo, Sept. 2.-Wilson today an
alyzed the third party platform in its
relation to the laboring man. The
occasion of the speech was a Labor
day celebration under the auspices OF
the United Trades and Labor coun-
Gil.
1t was the first expression from the
democratic candidate on the merits of
the progressive platform. The gov
ernor said that while on the one hand
there was to be found warm sym
pathy with practically every project
Of social betterment" that the party
was " proclamation OF sympathy"
while the real programme lay else
where, where the. tariff and trusts
The governor assailed the minimum
wage idea, declaring that employers
would take occasion to bring their
wage scale as nearly as they could
down to the level Of the minimum per-
mitted by law.
With the idea Of federal commits
sion to regulate monopoly, the gov
ernor took emphatic issue. He de-
clared the plan suggested not only
would legalize monopoly, but would
give the chief employees Of the coun-
try "a ueacherous authority behind
them.'
What the employees do will have
the license of the federal govern
ment. including the right to pay wages
approved by the government" said
Wilson. He pointed out that it al
ways had been the policy of "the
masters Of consolidated industries to
undermine organized labor in a great
many ways, and that the plan OF
federal control as advocated by the
new party systematically subordi-
mates working men to the monopo-
lies" and looks strangely like eco
nomic mastery over the lives and for
tunes of those who do the daily work
of the nation"

Will RECEIVE FUNDS
Northern Trust Co. Will Remit Free
of Charge Moneys for the Cam
paign Expenses.

The Northern Trust Co. has agreed
to accept all contributions for all po-
bitical parties and will handle the
same without charge.
George H. Hollister OF the banking
company received circular letter
from the democratic national COM
mittee, asking him if his bank would
be willing to handle contributions
that might be made not only for the
democratic party but for the other
political parties, thus enabling the
smaller contributors to send In their
money without an unnecessary ex-
pense. The circular asks this ques-
tion:
.'Will you agree to receive and
transmit subscriptions to the demo-
cratic national committee, the repub-
lican national committee and the pro-
gressive national committee?''
TO this Mr.. Hollister wired the fol-
lowing:
we will receive and remit without
charge subscriptions to any presi-

KICK FROM COLT

Tolna Tribune: Last Thursday
evening Miss Meme Pointer, who is with
Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Halvorson, had
an accident which almost proved fatal.
In the evening she made known her
wish to go out riding and some of the
hired men hitched up a 3-year- old colt
for her which they pronounced as
gentle, but which, however, proved
vicious and upon starting began kick
ing and running and in the fracus the
horse kicked the girl in the face
breaking the jaw bone in two places.

BRUTAL
ATTACK
On WOMAN
Minot Woman Was Terribly
Mistreated
Makes Complaint Against Her
Husband ...
Claims the Man Was Mad
With Rage

Minot, MD, Sept. 2.--One Of the most
revolving cases that has been brought
to the attention of the Ward county
authorities in several years was that
of Mrs. Erik Weltikol, who appeared
in the Office of States Attorney Nash
late Saturday and asked for a warran:
for the arrest of her husband on a
charge of assault and battery.
According to the woman's story
during a quarrel, WeltikoI seized her
about the shoulders and after beating
her about the head and face until she
was almost unconscious, he shook her
head against the floor a number of
times, inf1icting injuries of a terribly
painful nature. Today she can scarce
ly see, both eyes being swollen until
they are almost closed, while her
cheeks and forehead are raw with
bruises. The case is one of the most
pitiful in the criminal annals of the
county,
Was Mad With Rage.
Weltikol was almost insane with
rage and the unfortunate woman is
congratulating herself upon coming
out of the quarrel alive. She states
that he became so angry that he lost
all reason. According to her story
this is not the first time, and on a
number of occasions previously he has
acted as though he intended to kill her
Although never threatening her life
on one occasion he took a shot gun
and number of shells and then called
to her to come out to the barn, al
though it was late at night. Her re-
fusal brought on a brutal assault.
WeItikol Arrested.
Sheriff E. D. Kelley left for Welti-
kors place armed with a warrant for
his arrest and he was brought to the
city. He will probably be given a
hearing and some action taken to pro-
tect the woman from any further oc-
casions of his nature. She was scarce
ly able to walk, the effects of the at
tack having left her in a much weak
ened condition.

NIX-UP over
AUTO ownership

Minot, N. D., Sept. 2.-Severin M.
Severson, who for several years re-
sided at Carpio but for the past year
has lived in Minot, was arrested last
evening on q charge of grand larceny
preferred against him by parties at
Glasgow, Mont. Severson has for sew
eral years represented an insurance
company and is quite we'll known over
this section of the state.
SeverSon claims ownership of an
Overland automobile. He states that
he left the machine at Glasgow last
fall. He claims that he has had no
opportunity 10 go out after the car
and that the man in whose charge the
machine had been left sold it to some
other parties.
Had a Close Call.
When Severson reached Glasgow
last week and went to claim the ma
chine, the parties who had purchased
1t of course refused to turn 1t over to
him. Not having sufficient funds with
which to secure a bond and dispose OF
other red tape in connection with re-
plevin proceedings his attorneys adj
vlsed him. so he states, to take possess
sion of the machine when he had an
opportunity and accordingly did so.
When the opportunity presented IT.
started off at 1ull speed. Unfortu-
nately. however. the other parties who
claimed ownership of the car, were
near at hand and they drew their re-
volyers, he says, and fred several
shots at him. The speed at which he
was travelling, however, aided in keep
ing him out of harms way and he
made his getaway.
Warrant Issued for His Arrest.
Yesterday morning Sheriff Kelly was
advised by wire from the sheriff at
Glasgow that the latter held warraiit
for Mr.. Severson on charge of grand
larceny and stated that he was headed
for Minot in an Overland automobile.
Mr.. Seyerson reached here last night
and was arrested by Mr.. Kelly but was
later released on bonds.
Will Fight Extradition.
Severson, il he returns to Montana,
at all. will do SO peaceably. Through
his attorney, Halvor l.. Halvorson, he
will put up hard fight against extra
dition from this state and the Mons
tana authorities will have considerable
trouble in getting him back

IlNe men ana. young Italian girl
appeared in Bridgeport, Conn,
restaurant.
The men induced the girl to go
on an auto ride with them. They
drove for hours until at last they
reached a lonely stretch of road
alongside the Putney cemetery.
There the men and the girl got
out of the auto, and told the
chauffeur to "drive UP the road
bit"
The chauffeur did so. A few
minutes later, he heard five shots
fired in rapid succession. He
went back to where he had left
the men and the girl.
He found the girls body lying
by the cemetery side, five bullet
wounds through her head. The
men had disappeared.
Three of the men were captur-.
ed the next day. They were
sweated, and one of them con-
fessed that he had fired the bull
lets into the head of the girl.
This man first gave his name
as Joseph Buonomo, and his adj
dress as 101 West Twenty-frst

The operators said they were con-
fident of its acceptance by the full
conference which has been in session
here for ten days.
But the final acceptance of the
terms still have to be presented be-
fore the unions policy committee and
by it submitted to a referendum vote

sion beginning Monday of both the
anthracite and bituminous mines was
said to be unavoidable.
Hope for Settlement.
New York, March 30.-Another
meeting of the anthracite operators
and the committee of fniners,. the date
for which may probably be set today,
has given rise to hopes that a settle
ment of wage and other questions will
be amicably reached and that the sus-
pension of work in the hard coal re-
gion that commences on April 1 will
be of short duration.
An adjustment of difficulties in the
hard coal region was indicated in a
statement by representative of a
leading railroad operator, who gave
the information that the operators
were willing to grant a small increase
in wages. This declaration in New
York was soon followed by a dispatch
of a telegram to President Baer of
the Reading company at Philadelphia
from Cleveland signed by the three
anthracite district presidents regard
ing another conference. President
Baer replied that the operators were
agreeable to a further conference.
Operators here today were unable
to say whether the miners would sub
nit a new proposition or not. 1t was
suggested that the first conference
might take the form of a general dis
cussion of conditions in the anthra-
cite region and that as a result of
that discussion the miners would draft
a new set of demands.
The settlement of the difficulties
in the bituminous region, it was said,
will strengthen the position of the
hard coal miners in case of a strike,
as they would receive financial sup
port from the soft coal men who
would be at work.

MINING WILL STOP.
Indications Are That Suspension VIII
Be of Short Duration.

Cleveland, o., March 30.-AI-
though a suspension of work has
been definitely called in the anthra-
cite mines to take effect Sunday
midnight, measures were under way
by the United Mine Workers of
America today to improve the situa-
ton caused by wage disputes.
President White of the union ex-
pected to arrange a date for the meet
ing, probably in New York, between
the anthracite miners and operators
for a speedy settlement OF their diff
ferences.
At the same time the bitun1inous
miners and operators hoped to COM
plete an agreement whereby the min
ers would accept a slight increase in
pay instead of their original demands.
A subcommittee to which had been
referred an offer of compromise by
the miners was ready to report that
it had accepted the proposal.
