6 Designs
RECEIVED
Big Label Campaign Gaining
in Interest

There are now six designs in the
hands of Secretary Hardy of the
Fargo Commercial club.
These six are desirous Of winning
the SIS prize that is to be offered by
the Pioneer Life insurance Co, for
the best design which will embody
the idea of North Dakota goods for
North Dakotans.
These contestants come from diff
ferent parts of the state, showing
that people all over the state are taxi
ing notice to the campaign of the
Fargo Manufacturers association
which has for its slogan Fargo goods
for Fargo people,. and which has been
extended to take in the entire state
The slogan is bringing about great
results In this city, for every store
In town has been urged by the GUS
toners to handle as many Fargo made
goods as possible and it is a pleasure
to be able to state that nearly all Of
them are complying.
From all over the city come reports
Of customers asking for Fargo cigars.
Fargo made pickles, Fargo made bis
cults and crackers, etc, and the re-
suit is thar the manufactures are all
feeling encouraged and pleased.
President McHose of the McHose g.
Pardoe mattress works remarked this
morning. I'VE certainly are pleased
at the result of the efforts we have
started In creating an interest on the
part of the people for Fargo made
goods, and we hope that 1t will con-
tinue right along. 1t viii help every
body in the city. manufacturers and
CONSUMERS. the city as q whole and in
cidentally the state. 1t Is certainly
the right thing to do, and am NOT
saying this simply because I ann a
manufacturer, but because honestly
believe that the people as q whole
will reap a big benefit More power
to the slogan. Fargo goods for Fargo
people.

Bismarck, n. D., Feb. S.-The bill
which passed the house providing for
the initiative and referendum and re-
call, is now with the senate committee
on elections, of which Senator Garden
is chairman. He is of the progressive
element of thearepublican party and it
is predicted he will strongly oppose re-
porting the bill back to the senate or
recommending it for passage.
Should the committee report favor
ably it is likely their report will not be
adopted as there seems to be a strong
sentiment among the majority of the
senators on the floor in favor of pass
ing Of the bill.
The board of control appointments
are still with the special committee of
the senate. 1t is not thought that it
will be reported back this afternoon as
there is some opposition to a confrma-
tion of all those included in the ap-
pointments.

The following resolutions were
adopted without dissenting vote at
a largely attended meeting of the
Fargo Trades & Labor assembly last
evening:
Whereas, six members of the Fargo
school board have been working for
some months past in an endeavor to
replace Superintendent Hoover by
another as head of the Fargo city
schools, and
whereas, the methods employed
were secret and in direct opposition
to the wishes Of the majority of the
citizens of Fargo and especially so of
the laboring men of the city, who be-
lieve that the schools as conducted by
Professor Hoover are in the best con-
dition they ever were in the history
of the city, and that practical educa-
ton is being given their boys and girls
to At them for their every day life,
and,
Whereas, 1t was publicly stated by
one member of the school board that
this matter was none of the peoples
concern. Now. therefore, be 1t
Resolved, by Fargo Trades & Labor
assembly, that we denounce said ac-
tion of the school board and HEREBY
demand the retention of Professor
Hoover for another year at least, and
be 1t
Resolved. that we commend the ac-
tion of the three members, Messrs
Hannaher. Carpenter and Smith, who
voted to retain Superintendent Hoover
in compliance with the expressed
wishes OF the people and that we ex-
press our disapproval of any actions
or sentiments expressed by our public
servants-whatever their positions In
the life of the city--that tend to show
feeling Of superiority over the people
that place them in positions of trusi
and authority; and be it further
Resolved, that we as laboring ynen
and representative citizens of the city
of Fargo, use our utmost endeavors I'd
make this school board, hereafter, q
truly representative one.

NORTH DAKOTA LEGISLATURE

whole had but little success at the
session yesterday on the house.
The first clash came when house
bill No. 22S was reported back from
the committee on judiciary with a
majority and minority Report. The
bill provides that gambling houses
shall be declared public nuisances
and be subject to injunction the same
as is the case with buildings where
the liquor law is violated. The ma
jority report was for indefinite post
ponement and when motion was
made that that report be adopted a

Whitman and Aldermanic Com
mittee VIII Also Work

New York. Feb. S.-Police Commits
sioner Waldo took up the lead opened
by the aldermanic investigation of the
police graft, and began an investiga-
tion Of the charges preferred by
James Purcell. the veteran gambler,
against four captains on the force. On
the strength of Purcelrs unsupported
story, Waldo said he could do moth
ing, but If the investigation corrob-
GRATED the gamblers charges, he would
suspend the accused officers
The police captains charged by Pur-
cell with receiving protection money
are Patrick j. Cray, brother -in-law Of
Charles f. Murphy, the Tammany
leader, and Captains Martens, Maude
and Cochran. The others Purcell
mentioned are no longer on the force.
Commissioner Waldo is working
sine, the aldermanic committee and
District Attorney Whitman are work
ing together, due to differences be-
tween the district attorney and Waldo.
Monday Captain Walsh, who re-
Gently confessed to grating, impli-
eating Inspector Dennis Sweeney,
goes before the grand jury to tell his
story. After Walsh, Purcell will tell
his tale. A big batch of indictments
is expected within ten days.

Big SUIT
STARTED
AT TRENTON
Third Government Suit Begun
on Shoe Trust
Shoe Machinery Men Are Un-
der Surveillance ..
Shoe Machinery Trust Said to
Acquire Patents

Trenton, Feb. 8.--The federal gov
ernment made its third antitrust
move against the United States Shoe
Machinery Co., in a civil suit filed
here charging the so-called combina-
tiuon with welding an alleged mono
polastic power and using unfair trade
tactics to force the Keighley Co., a
competitor, into an unlawful contract
for the leasing, sale and fixing of an
inseam trimming machine.
The United States district court
has asked to terminate the contract
under which the Keighley Co. gave the
United company the exclusive right
to lease to the shoe manufacturers,
"the trimming machine" patent which
was held by the Keighley, Co. The
United company and the Keighley
Co. with private individuals are
made defendants. The governments s
petition is a severe arraignment OF
the trusts alleged in unfair tactics.
The vigorous enforcement methods
claimed by the government have
driven practically all the competi-
tors from shoe machine industry Civ
ing $4,000, 900 to the United company
to control 80 per cent of the trade.
The United Shoe Machinery Co.
is charged with acquiring the patents
of valuable inventions and not using
them for long time. The person
assigning the patents to the trusts
is alleged to have been requested to
agree to, the transfer for specified
time of all future patents or shoe
machinery Inventions.
The petition has been signed by
Attorney General Wickersham and
John b. Vreeland, the federal at
torney at Trenton. The contract was
entered into last September. There
is pending in Boston a civil suit for
the dissolution of the shoe machinery
company and a one-count indictment
against the officers for alleged vio-
lation of the Sherman law. The Unit
ed States supreme court recently dis
missed the other indictments filed
against the same defendants.

COMMITTED TO
VISIT TOWNS
AFTER ASYLUM

Bismarck, N. D., Feb. S.-The joint
committee on state affairs of both
houses met this morning to consider
the matter of the location of another
insane asylum. resolution is to
be offered calling for special conf
mittee from the house and senate 10
make a trip over the state and visit
the towns that have asked for such
institution. Among the towns for
which bills have been introduced are
New Salem, New Rockford, Caring
ton, Leeds, Rugby, Towner and Garri
son. It is thought likely that an in
sane asylum in addition. to the one
now at jamestown will be located,
but the town will not be decided on
until the committee has made a trip
and reported back to the assembly. It
will require a constitutional amend
ment.

Rjoht and left-handedness.

At first, it has been contended, men
used both arms indifferently, and those
who when fighting pushed the right
side forward had the advantage of
shielding their hearts and SO lived to
produce descendants who inherited
their tendencies. Be this as 1t may,
there Is no doubt that the two sides
of the brain have different functions,
and right or left-handedness is by no
means restricted to the arms alone.
One investigator was very often able
to recognize left-handedness by the ex-
animation OF the left eye. The center
of speech is ON the left side of the
brain Of q right-handed person. and
on the right side Of that OF lefthand-
ed person. Children show unmistak-
able evidence of two speech centers,
though one atrophies owing to the
preference given to one hand. Never
theless, experiments show that 1t can
