the part of the train crew is alleged.
1t is alleged that the tracks have been
and are used BY many persons work
ing at the pineapple cannery, ant
that the railroad operates trains care
Iessly in spite of the known fact that
people might be on the track. 1t Is
stated that in front of the train that
ran down Koyner were four or more
freight cars, so attached that proper
lookout ahead could not be kept. 1t

Coupling a remarkable combination

age suit filed this morning in Circuit
Judge Cooper's court which will bring
to the test one of the socahed rail.

1t is a suit of Tetana KOvner, a
Russian woman, against the Oahu

damages for the death of the wo-

Here is the combination of thir-

goes over to next term, it will be
heard at a term opening on January

OF more serious import, however,
is the fact that this suit involves Act

How we'll and expeditiously these

Mount Vernon were dynamited Oh the
night of April 10; that the Davenport
works, under construction by the same
company, were wrecked June 4; that
work at Peoria was dynamited the

AS Hooking, a board member at the
time and now acting secretary, was,

FISHERS FUNNY
STORY IS PAT
ON HAWAII

Narrating little story wherein he
in piled that the men OF Hawaii are
inclined to give too much attention 20
the things that are past and not enough
to- the remedying of present conditions
and preparing for the future, Secre-
tary of the Interior Walter l.. Fisher
brought to a close brief talk befCr e
the bushes men of Honolulu at the
Commercial Clubs luncheon in his
honor at noon today.
The story Fisher told was this:
AN old darby down south, follow
ing in his masters footsteps, had for
many years been attending, the Epis-
copal>> church and naturally, being a
darby, was very devout and constant
in attendance. Finally, however, to
the surprise of his friends, he switch
ed over to the Methodist church, and
adopted that as his particular relig-
ion.
His friends protested and ques-
good enough for you any more?' they
asked
"Dat Episeopalfan church amt
much good no. more. ! figgers dis
way: Dey spends entirely too much
time to de readin' of de minutes of
de las meetin', and not enough to new
business"
He spoke for less than half an hour,
yet during that time he held his audi
ence with closest attention to- one OF
the best lectures on political topic
hof n
ritory. The address was full of meat,
of sound advice and suggestion, yet
interspersed with a seemingly ex-
haustIess fund of humorous stories
which never failed to point the idea
the speaker sought to impress upon
his hearers.
His mention of Territorial affairs
was only in the last few sentences.
Most of his time was given to & dis
cussion of municipal citizenship, con-
sisting largely of a history of the
workings of the Municipal Voters
League of Chicago, which Mr.. Fisher
aided in organizing in 1896, of which
be was the president for several years
and which has controlled municipal
politics and affairs in the Windy City
for the last ten years.
The League has been the outgrowth
of his own ideas, to great extent,
and he declared it to be probably the
most unique political organization in
the United States. He asserted it is
founded on the principle of individual
citizenship, without party or creed
other than the greatest good of the
city as a whole. In the course of his
talk he declared citizenship means
that every individual shall assume the
responsibility of studying conditions
and of deciding for himself the men
most suitable and suited for the pub
lie offices.
He said it is not necessary for
man to seek office to do the greatest
good for his city or country; that he
himself is holding only his second pO-
litical office of his long career, his
first being a two-year term as assist
ant in the city attorneys office when
he first began the practise of law in
Chicago.

Had Been Missing -Four Days
Whisky IN Pocket

The body of Bill Ford the colored
hotel porter and well known about the
city for years as one of Fargo's
familiar characters. was found frozen
to death this morning about 100 feet
south of the old water works station
in Island park. Et -se p
The old fellow, who was about Go
years old, had been missing for four
Gays from his customary haunts and
in his clothes this morning was found
a bottle of Whiskey. 1t is believed he
had been on four days drunk and
fell down, in the park where he was
frozen while in a drunken stupor. The
chief besetting sin of the old man was
too much drink and his habit was to
absent himself for several days at a
time when on one of his debauches.
He has a son who is sleeping car
porter on the Great Northern railroad
and q daughter Mrs. Smith, residing
in Minneapolis. Her husband is a
barber there. Both have been notified
and the body is being held at the
Wasem morgue where it was talAeTi
preparatory to burial until some word
is heard from them.
The old man was for several years
employed as porter at the Waldorf
hotel and held similar jobs in and
about Fargo at various times for
many years. He was one of the most
familiar of the street characters about
Fargo and had a host of friends who
will learn with considerable regret the
horrible nature of his unexpected
death.

FOR AN OIL GAN

jamestown, N. D., Dec. 1.-THE
suit of Frank Svoboda against the
Pingree Hardware Co., was brought
up for trial Tuesday in district court,
c. S. Buck appearing for the plaintiff
and Knauf & Knauf for the defend
ant. -.- 80 .
One of the problems of the case is
TO determine who was responsible for
a can of gasoline. Mr.. Svoboda says
the hardware company was guilty of
negligence or carelessness in giving
him or permitting him to take a can
of gasoline for can of kerosene while
the hardware company asserts that
they are not to blame for the injuries
sustained by Mr.. Svoboda in conse-
quence of his getting hold of the
wrong can of oil. He sues the COM
pany for $1,000 for injuries sustained
from burns received.
The suit is being tried before jury
in district court. ~

5. A. STOCKWELL
Nj. On SINGLE TAX

The meeting Of the Fargo Commons
club last evening was one of the best
Iof the series and was held at the com
merctal club rooms after dinner in
the dining room. The annual election
resulted as follows
President Prof. A. d. D Weeks.
Vice President-J. r. Hardy.
Secretary Treasurer - James Nc
Guigan.
Members of Executive Committee
Prof. A. e. Minard and Claud e.
Nugent. .
The address of the evening was de-
livered by S. A. Stockwell, of Minnea-
polls, president of the Minnesota.
Single Tax league. who by the way is
la brother of Hon. l.. StockWell of
this city, and one of the best known
advocates of the single tax idea in the
country.
He. took Single Tax for his subject
and said that in his opinion this was
the fairest and best mode af taxation,
and that it was much more preferable
than the present method of taxation
He would put the entire tax on the
land and take 1t from personal prop
|erty and industrial plant.
He took the position tTlat the adj
vance In the price of land was brought
about by the community and that be-
cause OlS llidL n LIE community SnOulQ
have the benefit of the increase in
value of land rather than the owner,
who did nothing to bring about that
increase.
/. In other words if a man owned
farm near to where a large industrial
plant had located and his land in
creased in value by reason of that
plant that his land on which there
had been nothing done to bring about
the increase should pay the addition
al taxes.
He said that this idea was being
generally followed in northwest
Canada, with the result that it was
found to be working in a most salts
factory manner. I'm fact, so much 50,
that American farmers. seeing that
the taxes across the border in Canada
were about one-third less what they
are here were moving over there.
1t was q most entertaining and
interesting discourse and at it's con-
clusion Mr.. Stockwell was warmly
thanked for the, effort. He was being
shown about the city this morning
and afternoon by w. L. Stockwell. and
visited the A. c.. kargo college and
|other places Of interest in the city.

Efforts Of New Leipzig to Chang'
1,.-' - Title Fail. ' y. "..

Mandan, N" ID, Dec 11.-Efforts of
the residents Of New Leipzig, this
county, who sought to- change the name
of their town to Lawther, have been
defeated in their move by the federal
government.
1T appears that the. movement to
make the change sin;-the name was not
carried to completion by those who
were in charge when the campaign
was launched. The result was that in
railroad circles the city was known as
New Leipzig, while the people of the
town called it Lawther. -.
Under the governments order the
town, will be known as New Leipzig to
the postoffice, and the campaign for the
change probably will be abandoned en-
tirely. 4 -..... s...-.+ ..,.#55F

This was the good news that came
over the wire this morning from

This means that the large sum of
$35, 900, or so much of It as is needed,
will be available shortly after Jan. 1
to buy the land on which much
needed larger building to house the

erected.
The first thing in securing such a
building Is the question of o site.
A After the appropriation for it has been
Secured, the deeds for the same are
closely examined by the attorneys Of
the treasury department, In which all
deeds for federal real estate is vested.
After this is done will come a close
examination in regard to the needs Of
the city as to the size OF the bIild-
ing, etc. This is then reported to the

congress and after that the question
of the size of the appropriation will
come up.
: Several inspectors have visited Far
go, and each and every. one has stated
that there is no question as 10 the
needs of the city for a mueh larger
building, and the reports went into
Washington to the cffec: that tile
building here was crowded away be-
yond it's limit. and that such build
ing was an absolute necessity.
Since these reports have been made
1t is stated that it is only Il question
of short time until additional room
will have to be leased for government
business outside the federal building,
so that it is safe to say that In a COM
paratively short time Fargo will haN e
a new United States building that will
be adequate for the city for at least
ten years.

COLLEGE CHAIR
FOR PRES. TAFT

Washington, Dec. 11.-President
Taft is considering the offer of the
Kent professorship at the Yale Law
school. The place which has been
vacant for several years was last filI-
ed by Prof. Edward John Phelps, once
minister of Great Britain, and has
with the cabinet. but has reached no
decision. III
Should he accept, his relation to
Yale, would be much the same as that
of President Cleveland to Princeton.
The president is already member OF
the Yale corporation and his desire to
go to Yale has been weighed against
the one to return to Cincinnati TO
establish law Office and take his
elder son, Robert, into his Office.

indianapolis, Dec. 11.--William
Quigley, the Detroit business agent of

rested and held to the federal grand

as witness at the dynamite trial.
The perjury charge resulted from
Quigley's denial of the authorship of a
letter written June 90, 1910, In refer
ence to a proposed series of explosions
in Detroit against non-union jobs. The
letter; which called off proposed ex-
plosions, bore Quigleys signature. An

Bismarck, N. D., Dec. 11.-A falling
ladder caused loss of 10000 gallons
of kerosene Oil at the warehouse OF

1t appears that a ladder which had
been left standing last night was
blown down by the high wind that
prevailed early in the evening and
striking one of the valves allowed a
leakage which by morning had result
ed in the big tanks being emptied, the
oil having spread over the ground
