The Fargo Automobile club will
likely be the possessor of a tractor
engine for the purpose of working on
the roads in the vicinity Of Fargo and
committee last night was appointed
to look into the advisability of secur-
ing such a machine. This committee
is composed of w, w. Smith, N. A.
Lewis and j. P. Dotson. 1t was stated
at the well attended annual meeting
OF the association last night at the
commercial club rooms that Crookston
had a tractor which had been pur-
chased by the auto club and that the
system was found to work in splen-
did shape and as a consequence the
roads were in good condition.
The auto club Of Fargo was reor-
ganized last night with the above Of
ficers and q great deal of enthusiasm
was shown in everything connected
with the business that came before
the body.
A resolution of thanks was offered
and carried to Elliot Richards and
Chesbro Smith for the work they had
done in getting out the excellent road
book that was issued last year and
which was found to be of so much as
sistance to the auto owners in this
SScLlOus AuOIuST VOC6 Oh LndUhS was
extended to Mr.. Smith for the excel
lent work he had done during the past
three years as chairman of the roads
committee. He has moved out to the
country and will no longer be able to
attend to the duties of that position,
but this will be looked after by Mr..
Looims.
1t was decided to have several tours
during the season and this will be
looked into by William Fl. Workman.
1t is believed that it was wise in the
club to select ]. p. Hardy as a MEM
Der of the executive committee. as
that will be the means of bringing the
commercial club and the auto club
into closer relations. There was a
good deal OF discussion on the ques-
ton of roads Improvement and the
committee having this in charge will
get busy as soon as possible after the
spring opens up. Another meeting will
be called in the near future by the
chairman to attend to other business
matters.

Well Known Fargo Educator Said Industrial Education as
Important as Book Learning
Secretary Hardy Mayer Sweet Secretary Cooper and Others
Also Addressed the Meeting
Robert McCuch Was the Seat as Toasmaster and Proved
Very Capable Man for the Job

Taking the position that an indus
trial education was just as important
as a book education, w. e. Hoover,
superintendent of the public schools
Of Fargo, delivered a powerful address
to the North Dakota Retail Lumber
men last evening at their banquet
which was served nicely by the Pirie
Co. in the commercial club dining
room.
There were nearly $50 at the ban
quet and the company was a most
congenial one. At the suggestion of
Harry AIsop of this city, who was
yesterday elected secretary of the
state organization of the Iumbermen.
Robert McCulIoch was in the seat as
toastmaster and with few prelimin-
ary remarks in which he welcomed the
visitors and invited the convention
back to Fargo again next year, he
called on Mr.. Hoover
Superintendent Hoover's Talk.
He was introduced as the superin-
tendent of the public schools Of this
city and Mr.. McCulloch said he would
talk to the boys for a short time.
Mr.. Hoover said that men were but
boys grown tall, but that too often
they lost the boyish feeling. He said
there are several questions before the
American people and among them is
the one that relates to the young peo-
pies fitness for engag ging in the pur-

eral of IT,. e. Metealf, for te1ell q q q y
years manager of The Lakota ObserY-
er, was held yesterday afternoon. Rev.
w. e. Dudley, pastor of the Methodist
church of this city. officiated.
Mr.. Metcalf succumbed Monday to
an attack of erysipelas. Several
weeks ago he injured his hand in the
machinery of The Observer plant. Lit
tie attention was paid to the injury at
first and blood poisoning set in, with
the result that erysipelas developed.
He was taken i'll week ago yesterday.
Last Friday he was taken to Grand
Forks in the hope that he could be re-
lieved. Physicians there decided that
nothing could be done, and he was TAX
en- home to die.
The deceased was for twenty one
years manager of The Observer, being
one of the pioneer newspaper men of
the state. He was born at Lincoln,
ILL.,. forty-seven years ago, and remov-
ed to North Dakota in 1884. He re-
sided on a homestead near Lakota un-
til 1892, when he removed to the city

ADMIRAL'S
WIDOW IS
ACCUSED
Mrs. ]. G. Eaton Charged With
Murder
Was Arrested Today by States
Attorney
Reported She Was Unhappy
With Late Admiral

bingham, Mass, March 2O.--Mrs.
Eaton. widow of Rear Admiral Jo-
seph G. Eaton. was arrested, charged
with numbering her husband. The dis
trict attorney. who announced the ar
rest, said Admiral Eaton did not die
a natural death. Mrs. Eaton was ar
rested at her home. Assinnippi, this
morning
Mrs. Eaton pleaded not guilty when
arraigned before Judge Pratt. She
was committed to Jail without bail for
a further hearing, March 28.
Admiral Eaton died suddenly on the
morning of March s. He was 66 years
old, but his friends said he was in
good health. An investigation is said
to have developed that Mrs. Eaton's
married life was not altogether happy.
Her explanation that her husband
died from an attack of indigestion did
not satisfy the medical examiner, and
the preparation of the body for burial
was delayed until a post mortem was
made.

WORKING
ON TARIFF
Corps Of Statistical Experts
AnaIyze Revision
Appropriations Committee May
Be Named at Once
This Depends on Conference Of
Democratic Leaders

Washington, March 20.-The tariff
revision as agreed upon in the house
committee on ways and means has
been carefully analyzed by corps Of
statistical and custom experts, tenn
porarily quartered in committee Of
fees. Representative Hull, of Ten
nessee, who will frame the income
tax features and Peters of Massachu-
setts, have been comforting over the
administrative features for report to
the full committee. The plan to re-
tain most of administrative sections
of the present tariff law and the in
come tax is yet to be voted upon
formally.
Whether an appropriations COM
mittee will be named at the outset OF
the session depends largely upon the
coming conference between Under
wood, Of the ways and means and
Fitzgerald Of the appropriations. The
democratic leaders say that with on
overwhelming majority it will be easy
to suspend the rules and act on the
failed sundry civil and Indian ap-
preparation bill.

WILSON DOES

With WILSON
When WilSoR Meets Wilson
One Resigns
Acting Secretary Of State Quits
His Job
Pres. Eliot May Decline British
Mission

Washington, March 20.-Huntington
Wilson, assistant and acting secretary
of state, resigned that office and insist
ed upon the immediate acceptance Of
his resignation because of radical diff
ference of his opinion with that Of the
administration regarding the Chinese
policies. President Wilson immedi-
ately accepted his resignation.
Mr.. Wilson, like all assistant secre-
taries of the various departments, ten
dered his resignation to the president
upon the latter's assumption of Office.
He was requested to continue until it
was convenient for the president TO
name his successor and he consented
to do so to accommodate Mr.. Bryan
in his desire to visit Lincoln, Neb., by
so doing involving the abandonment Of
reservation which he made on a
steamship sailing for Europe last
Tuesday.
After his resignation, the president
Immediately designated Second Assist
ant Secretary Adee to act as secretary
during Secretary Bryan's present alb
sence,
In a 1,000-word letter to the presi-
dent, Huntington Wilson set forth
that when he consented to continue for
a time with the. new administration
he did not understand there would be
any radical change Of policy for which
he would have to act as spokesman.
His letter says regarding the admin
istration's statement of the Chinese
loan, II find myself entirely out Of
harmony with the radical change of
policy as l understand 1t, and trust
you will sympathize with my view
that it would not be appropriate that

Eliot May Decline.
At t"the White House today it was
said that the reported declaration of
Charles w. Eliot, president emeritus
of Harvard, that he would decline a
diplomatic position if offered, might
not deter President Wilson from urg-
ing DIR. Eliot to reconsider. An an
potntment to London is thought will
be the most likely offer If one is made.

day to considering the question of citi-

Rorto Rican administration.
It is understood Governor Cotton de-

SENTENCED FOR LIFE
FOR STEALING BACON
INSANE WHEN PARDONED

Columbus, o., March 20.-Wil-
liam WeIch. aged IS, the man who
received a life sentence in the pen
itentiary for stealing a piece of
bacon, is no longer a convict. Gov
ernor Cox announced his pardon
yesterday. But the governor could
not restore Welch's reason, which
has fed after Eve years behind
the prison walls, and 1t is likely
that the unfortunate man will have
to spend the remainder Of his days
in an asylum.
Six years ago Welch was caught
with a piece of bacon, valued at
81, which he had stolen from a
farmer at Greenville, o., because
he said he was hungry and unable
to obtain work.
He pleaded guilty to the charge
of burglary. believing that lenfency
would be shown him. Instead
Judge Allread sentenced him to a
life term. Application for his par
don was signed by Judge Allread
and the prosecuting attorney. His
name was yesterday erased from
the prison records, but entered
anew on the insane asylum books.
