EXCEEDED THE
SPEED LIMIT
TODAY
Reached a Velocity Of Fifty
one Miles an Hour Early
This Morning.

Pedestrians early this morning be-
lieved 1t. but Prof. Simpson of the
weather station at the university as
serts as a. fact. that the wind this
morning reached the remarkable velo-
city of f1fty-one miles an hour.
At 8 o'clock this morning the wind.
which yesterday reached the velocity
of forty-four miles and increased dur
ing the night. this morning reached
the maximum that has been registered
at the special government station at
the university since It's establishment
December 1.
The Official weather report today
promises fair and colder weather and
probable frost tonight. This say
those in charge at the university sta
tion. will undoubtedly be the case.
The barometer at the local station has
been rising rapidly and a frost is due
in Grand Forks.
Coming right after the Arbor day
celebration. when the good housewives
Of the city and the children have pre-
pared their gardens. it would be a
good plan to cover up any plants that
might have been set out, say the
weather men.

MCUMBERSAYS HE'S
NOT AFTER THE
POSITION
Looks Upon Vote as Merely
Complimentary and
Not Binding.

United States Senator Porter j.
McCumher of North Dakota has writ
ten a letter to II. J. Hughes. editor Of
the Globe-Gazette of Wahpeton. de-
filming his position with reference to
the vote cast in the recent primary
election in North Dakota. in which
election he was endorsed for the vice
presidential nomination. His letter
follows:
Some time ago a number of east
ern papers suggested my name for
vice president. This suggestion did
not go further than to assume to eX-
press the sentiment Of the agricul-
tural sections and officials Of agri-
cultural organizations towards me
for my attitude on all questions af-
fecting agricultural interests.
1T was probably these publications
which led a few friends, especially
in my home city, and possibly In a
few other isolated cases. to cast a
vote for me. in the primary election,
for vice president. 1t may be that
some one printed a few stickers and
delivered them. I have no knowl-
edge on the subject. Had any one
l should have written Immediately
requesting him not to do so. l had
dreamed of being a candidate
for this position and therefore looked
upon h vote merely as an express
sion Of friendship and not as a pur-
pose to make me a candidate.
1t was. therefore. with some sur
tho letter of Mr.. Lauder and OBJ
served the bitterness expressed and
the charge of criminality against
those who had dared to cast such a
vote.
Il have no purpose to enter into a
defense of those who. according to
the writer of that article. were guilty
of such a heinous offense against
him in so voting. l do not know
cere wish that I might become a. cam
didate for vice president. or whether
some of them did go for the purpose
OF exciting and disturbing his peace
and quietude. Each one of the of
tenders, l presume. has his own con-
Vtctions and stands ready n weigh
his own political and moral worthi-
ness with that of his assailant.
II was not a candidate for any
position. No petition was ever cir
culated to make me a candidate. and
neither I nor any M else had tho
faintest idea that these few votes for
n who was not a candidate and
candidacy. therefore, was not
submitted as an issue. hound any of
the delegates to the national con-
vention.
Even II I had been a candidate
and had received the vote of my state,
and the writer of that article had
been elected as a delegated should
not have considered the vote binding
upon him. l should have regarded
the n vote as intended TO cancel
the other.
But. that there may he no possible
question in this matter. 1 wish to say
to all of the delegates elected. that
neither I o any of my friends re-
gard these few friendly expressions
which took the form of votes for me
as having any binding or instructive
force whatever.

OLD RESIDENT WAS
SUMMONED BY
DEATH
William c. Parker Died This
Morning-Came Here
in 1876.

William Cole Parker. an old and
much respected citizen. died suddenly
at an early hour this morning at his
home. 81 Euclid venue. The i'm
mediate u of his death being heart
failure superinduced by asthma, from
which disease he has been a sufferer
for more than forty years.
Mr.. Parker was born in Simcoe

graduate of Victoria College, Toronto,
and vas married in 1855 at Bondhad,
Canada to Elizabeth Perry, who now
survives him. He was the father of
a large family. and thirteen of his
children survive to mourn his loss.
Mr.. Parker came to Polk county,
Minnesota in 1876 and took a home
stead upon the Red Lake river near
Mallory. this farm now being owned
by James Coulter. About twenty
eight years ago he removed from the
farm and took up his residence in the
city of Grand Forks. and since that
time has been closely identified with
the interests of the city. For several
years he owned and operated the
Northwestern hotel. then located upon
a site near where the Northern Pacific
passenger depot now stands, and aft
some five miles west of the city limits.
His children residing in the city are
Mrs. T. j. Smith. Mrs. Routzahn. Mrs.
Fred Parsons and Frank Parker and
they were present at his bedside. az
was also Mrs. Harry Call Of Minne-
apolis.
Funeral arrangements have not yet
been definitely made and cannot be
determined upon until his other chill
the United States and Canada, can be-
heard from, but 1t is probably that
the funeral will be held on Sunday
afternoon from the Episcopal church
in this city, of which he was a COM
-municant. ~

Will Grand Forks and Fargo be
represented in the Central-Interna.
tional baseball league this season?
Who wants to know?
Why, all the fans in general and
three mon In particular who are In
Grand Forks today to look into the
matter thoroughly.
In answer to a hurry-up call sent
out by the secretary of the Superior
club, President H. A. Blume of Du-
luth, Vice President d. w. Scoon of
burn OF Winnipeg, rushed t o Grand
Forks this morning to take a peep
into the situation and to determine
If possible just what Fargo and Grand
Forks propose to do in the matter of
placing teams in the new league.
The trio of baseball magnates are
this afternoon talking things over at
the Commercial club and before they
leave the. city they hope to be in a
position to announce that ''all's set"
for the G. I. league to go ahead as q
six club proposition.
Virginia. Duluth. Superior and
Winnipeg have their clubs we'll or
ganized and we will go ahead with a
four club league whether Grand
Forks or Fargo come in or not" said
President Blume this morning. Glow

little cities represented in the league
and will do what we a to see them
through"
"If 1 lived in Grand Forks I'd mort
gage my wife and kids to put Il team
in the league If necessary" declared
Mr.. Scoon. "This league is a sure
thing and is going to be a winner. 1t
will only be a. question of another
year.. I think. before Minneapolis and
st. Paul will DO represented in this
circuit and then 1t will be a real prop
osition in all respects. We are going
to have some great baseball in the
new league and we want Fargo and
Grand Forks in line. 1t seems to me
the whole thing now hinges on some
body to get hold of these cities and
boost the proposition right"
President Blackburn said that he
knows of one or two good men In
Winnipeg who have their eyes train
ed on both Grand Forks and Fargo
and will put clubs in here if they can
get any assistance locally.
