The statement that William Rockefeller

Chicago, into whose Golfers John u. Rookie
Teller had poured many millions. This
was denied but the report never really
died
Mr. Rockefeller had a bad case Of the
grip in February, 1911, and in July OF
that year he took a transcontinental trip.
Persons who saw him then said his hands
shook as if he had palsy. He sailed for
Europe in October, and again there were
denials that he was seriously ILL., But he
had hardly reached the other size when
he started back on the Cunarder Cam
pania.
Reporters who approached Dr.. Walter
Chappell at that time were told:
"Air Rockefeller has not got cancer. He
has govt of the throat"
Mr. Rockefeller was feeble when he left
Liverpool, in great secrecy. but on his
arrival in New York he said he felt very
much better. Dr. Chappell said his pa

by the District Attorney TO testify as to
the graft system against New York
police, was admitted to bail here to-day.
His attorney, Edward j. Newell assisted
by Attorney Theodore w. Schlmpf, OF
this city. first appeared before Supreme
Court Justice Samuel kaliscb AT Mays
Landing, but he declined to admit Sipp
10 bail. He said the matter of bail rested
entirely with Justice Of the Peace Jag
metty.
Newell and Schmpf next appeared be-
fore Justice Jagmetty and asked 10 have
Sipp admitted to bail. They We're re-
fused. Then they went before COUNTY
Judge Enoch \. Higbee, who gave them
an order TO Justice Jagmetty to have
Sipp bailed out. They carried the order
to Jagmetty. who fixed Sips bail at
5000.
Newell and SchImpf argued the amount
of bail liked was excessive. But Jagmctty
was obdurate. and declined to lessen the
amount. Up to a late hour tonight Sipp
had not succeeded In getting the required
bail. and is still In the city jail.
Sipp said again to-day that the charges
upon which he had been detained at the
request of the New York police were
trumped up and that he would have no
trouble in disproyins them.

CONTEST TINE EXTENDED
Tri-City ~" Contest Will Be Extend
ed to Nov. 5, at Request of
Grand Forks.

The Grand Forks Y. M. C. A. has
asked for an extension Of time on the
state membership contest, stated to
close next Wednesday night, Nov. 5.
This request Is made on account Of
Mr.. Warmers serious accident, and in
consideration of this the Fargo as
ISOLATION has accepted.
The jamestown association has de-
clined to enter into an extension Of
time, which would be a great disad-
vantage to them, as they have no Nov.
l, a days, nor Is their association
old enough as yet to secure November
renewals. So the fight will be con-
tinued between Grand Forks and Far
go. jamestown will drop out by 10
o'clock Friday night, and then the
contest will be continued between
Grand Forks and Fargo up to Nov. 5.
If jamestown should defeat Fargo and
Grand Forks Friday, the latter two
associations will simply continue a
good natured contest until Nov. s, for
second place. Notices have been sent
out to all the Fargo members to con-
tinue the work until Nov. S, and also
to do all they can to eliminate James
town Friday night.
Contest now stands Fargo 1904
points, Grand Forks 1883 points and
jamestown 1850 points.

Knife Grinder up to Date.

New York Sun: Have you MOTTO
ed the Transformation that has taken
place in the methods employed by the
grinders of scissors and knives?" in
quired a man who notices small things.
About a decade ago when the grind
err came around he used to ring a bell
as he walked and to shout KNIVES
sharpened, scissors sharpened!"
Some of the grinders about five
years ago, wishing to be more UP to
date, cast aside the bell end equipped
themselves with bugles. Then
the grinder came ambling Down the
street, with his grindstone and stand
slung over his shoulder, h customers
were summoned by his hugle calls.
Not long ago a crusade against
unnecessary noises placed the ban on
the bugles of the grinders. n owadays
one never hears that familiar call and
one seldom notices a knife grinder on
the streets. The pedestrian grinders
have vanished; they have been replac-
ed with something more up to date.
"The modern grinder travels In a
wagon drawn by a horse. The wagon
is built especially for his use. Inside
is an up-to-date outfit. The grind
stones are operated by a motor.
THE power grinder goes from house
to house soliciting trade. Some fami-
lies have a set date on which the
grinder calls every month and keeps
the cutlery in condition"

Columbus a Jew.

From a letter from John Collins to
the Portland Express-Advertiser: This
brief article by. Spanish historian re-
lating to Columbus pedigree will be,
believe, of special interest. 1t is uni
que and will excite public attention to
it's facts. From a Spanish American
periodical, San Juan, Porto Rico, Sept.
Is, 1913
The Spanish historian, Enrique Arri-
has, has discovered eighteen documents
which prove that Columbus was a Jew.
He was a native of P~ontevedra, his un-
Giles were named Abraham, Eleazer,
Jacob and Benjamin. Arribas contends
that If Columbus had been known as a
Jew, he would AVE been ousted by the
church. He seems at any rate to have
been pretty shrewd. His mothers name
was Suzanne, so we conclude that h
must have been a Methodist, distant
relative of John and Charles Wesley,
whose mothers name was also Susan
ma. The thing looks good to us, and
quite as probable as several of the
theories now in vogue Columbus be-
ing a Jew, it Is said, a a desire to
discover the land of promise. But this
does not dispose of the theory that he
was a Methodist. John and IS
Wesley both came to America and did
not find it a land Of promise and ere
turned. His facility for taking up q
collection, his big ideas and small
purse, are strong collateral reasons
why he might have been related to the
Methodists.

RELIGIOUS
AUTHORITY
THIS WAS SUBJECT OF ADDRESS
BEFORE STUDENTS OF FARGO
COLLEGE AT CHAPEL THIS
MORNING.. l.. Chill DS THE
SPEAKER.

J. l.. Childs, interstate secretary Of
the Y. M. c. A. work in Minnesota,
Wisconsin, and the Dakotas, spoke at
Fargo college on Religious Authority
for Students this morning.
This is an age Of change, a time
when mere precedent without some
good reason to back it does not count
Tor much. Great changes are occur
ing in politics and equal changes are
noticeable in religion. Students have
hard work to find religious precedents
which they can accept, authorities
that they can respect.
The only unchanging religious
authority that can be found, is based
on these five propositions.
First, truth has the right to control
the life Of every man. No student has
reached the threshold of growth until
he is willing to face truth and guide
his life by 1t, unf1inchingly.
Second, purity has an absolute
right to rule in our lives. 1t has this
rls3t, not alone by Biblical sanction,
but also by the sanction Of modern
science a2d thought.
Third, give yourself to large en-
deavors. Do oot waste time on the
trivial things on life. Philip Sidney
wrote Look well to your loyalties.'
Fourth, make unselfSShness the rule
Of your life. He who lives for himself
alone will inevitably fail.
Fifth, n fact stands Gu. I'M
shaken amid the change of opinion
and merciless criticism of the Bible.
That fact is Jesus Christ and His
personality. The bigger and more
loyal you become, the better will you
know him.
"These facts constitute the un-
changing religious authority of the
student"
