HOW TO START SOMETHING
FOR GOOD ROADS.

First, get two or three Give
wire" men together. Don't both
or with anybody that takes un-
necessarily long to say "Yes" or
to say mo" Recommend the
taking of action to hold a good
roads conference in your town
for the purpose of stirring up a
healthier and more definite ad-
vancement in your highway i'm
provement problems.
Second, have a special meet
ing of your chamber of commerce
or your automobile club or any
progressive business mems or
ganization. If you have no or
eanization of any kind get three
or four friends together and form
temporary good roads league.
Propose the idea of holding a
good roads conference in your
county. Learn what can be done
financially. Discuss what ought
to be done. Decide what you
will undertake. Stay with it.
Then give all the facts to the
newspapers. Keep them posted
at every future step. They are
80 per cent necessary to make a
success of your meeting. Start
1t quick.

TRAIN
TOO EARLY
Many Bismarck People We're
Kept at Mandan TIL.
q Late Hour

Bismarck turned out good and
strong for the Mandan chautauqua
last evening, some 300 tickets being
sold Tor the special train which went
over in the evening. The Bismarck
band accompanied the train, after
rendering a nice concert at Fourth
and Main streets.
The people of Mandon outdid them
selves in courtesy and attention to
the visitors from Bismarck. There
were IS autos at the depot to take
the visitors to the grounds, and every
one was taken out free of charge and
after the entertainment were brought
back. The band boys gave a concert
on the chautauqua grounds after the
regular entertainment was over and
were the recipients of hearty applause
for their efforts. The entertainment
given by the Apollo Concert Company
and the impersonator was fully ap-
preciated by everyone present.
An unfortunate and unforeseen SER
les of incidents working together mar
red the latter part of the evening, and
as a result it was 2:30 in the morn
ing before the Bismarckers reached
home. In the first place the special
was delayed some As minutes in start
ing for Mandan, owing to the fact that
No. 2 was late and the line was not
open until it wen through. The en-
tertainment was held for the Bismarck
special and as a result was three.
quarters of an hour late in ending.
| At the request of the managers of the
chautauqua the band boys gave a con.
cert on the grounds which made 1t a
little later; then, on top of this the
sixteen hour time of the train crew
running the special was up about
1920, and under the law they could
not run a train after their time was
up. AS a result of all these things
the crowd found, on it's return from
the %chautauqua grounds about 1880,
that their special train had left an
hour before, although it had been un.
derstood that the train would be held
till everyone had reached the depot,
1t was a series Of circumstances for
! which no one was to blame, and yet it
made a long tedious wait for every.
one till another special could be ar.
ranged for which started at 2 o'clock,
reaching Bismarck about 2:30. The
citizens of landau ri in no way
to blame for the occurrence and in
fact everyone Of them did everything
! in his power to give their visitors a
| pleasant evening. The Bismarck
| crowd treated the affair as a joke,
and the band boys did themselves
proud in their efforts to entertain the
people during the wait by giving a
continuous oncert which livened
things up| Everyone who went had
a good time.

go to the scene OF Franklin's arrest, IL
was Detective Brown Of the district
attorneys office. Pirotte testified
Franklin had told him at another
meeting that he was not worried
about the outcome Of the charges
against him.
"Are After Darrow."
"They don't want me; they are at.
ter Darrow,' he told the witness.
He said he had pleaded guilty to
the charge of bribing Juror Bain,'
said the witness. 1T had not cost
him anything, as the state paid his
fine, but they were holding the Lock
wood case over him so he would tes
tify against barrow.
"He told me that F'redericks was
under great political obligations to
him." said the witness, because once
when political enemies were trying
to get some documents connected
with some trouble Fredericks vas in
some years ago, Franklin, who was
in the United States Marshal's office,
had secreted them"
Adam Dixon Warner, a former at
torney and lecturer, testified that
Franklin had said to him in the prog
ress of the Mcnamara case:
81 am going to win this lawsuit my
self. There is an angle to this that
neither Darrow nor anyone else knows
anything about"
He was not cross.examined.
Joseph McGrave, another impeach-
ment witness, said Franklin had told
him: q" will get out of this all right.
l am playing the cards, and before l
60 to the p~enitentiary ! will put it on
someone else"
Other witnesses who testified were
r. l.. Johnson, an attorney who acted
as intermediary between Franklin
and the district attorneys office and
Carl F. White, a newspaper man, both
of whom testified that Franklin in
conversation with them, had absolved
the defendant of any completely in
the alleged jury bribing.

MONTH MORE
FOR barrow
Bribery Trial Taking Longer
Than Was Ex.
pected
Ri0id Cross. Examination Of
DefenSe'S Witnesses
Is Begun

LOS ANGELES, July 16.-All hope
OF completing the bribery trial Of
Clarence s. Darrow this month prac-
tically has been abandoned by both
prosecution and defense.
When the trial was begun on May
Is, the most extreme prediction as to
its duration was two months, but the
beginning of the third month yester-
day found the defense merely in the
preliminary stages Of the presentation
Of its case. Just how much more time
will be required before the case goes
to the jury is conjectured, but 1t Is
generally believed that at least a
month or six weeks longer will be
needed.
Pirotte Under Fire.
The manner in which the prosecu.
ton is crOss-examining the impeach.
ment witnesses of the defense is TAX
en- as an indication that the state
forces will make a determined effort
to break down the elaborate defense
prepared by Darrow and his counsel.
]. P. Pirotte, a policeman In the
Deach town of Venice, resumed the
stand today for a continuation of q
rigid cross.examination which con-
sumed more than two hours yester
day. Pirotte testified yesterday. to
numerous conversations with Bert
Franklin in which the latter protest
ed the innocence Of Mr.. Darrow.
The line Of cross-examination by
Assistant District Attorney Ford tend
ed to show that the prosecution be-
lieved Pirotte to have been an EN-
ploye of barrow, commissioned tc
pump" Franklin after the latter had
pleaded guilty to jury bribing.
Franklin Free Talker.
Franklin, confessed bribe-giver
talked freely about his offense, &C
cording to a half dozen witnesses who
took the stand yesterday for the de
tense. All of his numerous converse
tons were quite emphatic in his avow
ais of DarroW's innocence, according
to the same witnesses, all of whom
were called to attack the veracity O.
franklin, who, while on the stand
had denied making such assertions.
Mr.. Darrow took a leading part II
conducting his case, and on severa
occasions he engaged in verbal clash
es with the state forces. Twice hi
accused the district attorney Of trying
to win through trickery.
Pirotte, the most important witness
of the day, testified to having hat
several conversations with Franklin
in which the latter had said Darrov
never had given him the money will
which to bride Juror Lockwood. TIL
witness said he was told by Franklin
that money was being used that tn
attorneys for the McNamaras knew
nothing about.
Franklin also was said to have toll
witnesses that he had not sent an!
message to Darrow the morning o
his arrest, and that If any one callet
him on the telephone to ask him t

engineer Tells
OF FATAL wreck
Was Afraid 10 Go Back After
His Train Was
Struck

CHICAGO, July 18.-George NJ. Emo,
engineer of the passenger train which
was crashed into by the fast mail at
Western Springs sunday, killing thir-
teen, testified today at the coroner's
inquest at LAGRANGE, near the wreck
eel Emo said his train left Aurora
on schedule, at $3.50 and was on time
when 1t was stopped by the block
signal at Western Springs.
Because of the fog didn't see the
block signals until we were on it,
said Emo.
Emo said he did not know why the
train stopped.
Il saw a flagman get off the train
and go back. l knew the fast mail
was following US. 1t was $40 when
the wreck occurred; l looked at my
watch when ! felt the jar. After the
crash / stepped down from the cab
and said to my fireman, MY God, I'm
afraid to 60 back" said Emo.

IS INTERESTED
IN GAS Plant
in Bismarck Ready
To Help Build Plant
Here

r. S. Redman, secretary and man
ager of the American Gas and Con-
.struction company, IS in the city for
a few days looking after matters in
connection with the proposed new gas
plant for Bismarck. There was an
ordinance calling for a franchise in
troduced at the last meeting of the
city commission allowing the company
the right to install their plant and
the use of the streets as far as is
needed. The company in which Mr..
Redman is interested has an interest
in plants at many points in Iowa and
other states. AS a general thing the
company does not retain an interest
in any concern they build but in
some cases they have done so and
MI. Redman states that as the pros.
oects are so good here he may decide
to hold some interest. W. E. Lair
has taken an interest in the matter
here and has secured the support of
a number of Iowa capitalists who are
ready to invest their money here If
the ordinance is passed.
Mr.. Redman stated that it had been
the case in every place where a gas
company had started that If there was
electric power and light in the same
time that both companies benefited
by the competition and both had more
business than would have been the
case had there been only n com
pany.
1t is not probable that any actual
work will be done this summer or fall
even in the event that the ordinance
is passed as there is considerable
preliminary work to be accomplished

Harvesting Winter Rye.
Farmers have been busy for some
time on their summer following,
much of the land being given an op-
portunity to rest this year. This plan
is in line with the rotation movement,
and is more general this season than
ever before. The farmers also have
carried on weed determination cam
paigns with a great deal of success.
The harvesting of winter rye is

but the farmers are just getting start.

acreage show it to have been greater
than last year, the increase being
quite material.
