COBURN PLAYERS
HERE NEXT JUNE

The Fargo Commercial club, by res
olution adopted today by the execu-
tive committee, has endorsed the
movement to bring the Coburn play
ers TO Fargo next June for a series Of
their splendid open air theatrical en-.
tertainments.
The Coburn players are well known
in most of the American cities They
are ON the order of the Ben Greet
players, which organization has prob
ably, q wider reputation merely from
the point OF having made more Amer
icap tours than the Coburn players.
The Women's clubs of the city first
started the idea of having the Coburn
players -ive performances in Fargo.
BY the resolution adopted by the ex-
scutive- committee of the commercial
club, the business men Of the city to-
day give the movement support as
thesv feel that these open air enter
tainsnents will do much in attracting
crowds to the city during the early
summer months.
W Four new members were elected to-
membership in the Fargo Commercial
club today. They were Hanson f.

WE,E,,IP ING
PROBE, IS
UNDER WAY

Philadelphia, Nov. 1S.-The Inter
state Commerce commission began
here today a sweeping Investigation
into the rates and practices of the
anthracite coal roads.
The inquiry Is being undertaken
with view to determine whether
there have been any violations by the
carriers of the interstate commerce
laws in connection with the trans
portation Of COAL including the ques-
tion as to whether the roads have OBJ
served the spirit of, the recent ''com-
modities clause decision, which held
that railroads could not transport
commodities produced by themselves
In this case coal. ,.
The question of reasonableness of
the present freight rates on coal and
whether the carriers discriminate
against independents shippers, will
comprise an important part of the in
quiry. This will involve an investi-
cation into. the relations between the
roads and whether any concerted pol
icy exists among them,

oerned are the Reading, the Central

aies. The inquiry is expected to last.

BULGARIAN !
KING IS IN
TROUBLE

Berlin, Nov. 17.-H ng Ferdinand of
Bulgaria, who arrived this afternoon,
is passing through such a crisis, ac-
cording to the well informed here, that
his abdication of the throne in favor
Of his son is not alone possible, but
probable. 54. ..i
4s The king is residing incognito at the
Palace Coburg, where he spent a day
Of prayer at the graves Of his ances-
tors. Austrian statesmen are doing
their utmost to discourage Ferdinand's
proposed, surrender of the throne be-
cause they consider the young Crown
Prince Boris likely to be influenced by
an element friendly to Russia.
Ferdinand is receiving little encour-
agement from Germany. The emperor
and the German government express
themselves friendly to Greece. 1t is
alleged that when Ferdinand express
ed a desire TO come to Berlin, he was
given an Sintimation that such a. visit
would be useless.

ASKS SPECIFIC RULES

On a temporary agreement until
the dispute between the city and the
water works regarding hydrant rent
ais can be decided by the Public
Utilities commission, Howard Dill,
superintendent of the company, prom
ised the board of works today to set
hydrants at Twenty-third and North F
streets and an intermediate hydrant
at Twenty-first and F.
The action by the board followed
Mr.. Dill's report that revenue on the
three-inch line now supplying private
consumers in the neighborhood was
$179. Before ordering the new hy-
drants, the board asked Mr.. Dill to
move the hydrant from the Gaar-
Scott plant of the NJ. Rumely COM
pany which is now enclosed by the
company's property and not accessi-
BILE to the city. The board wanted
this hydrant placed at Twenty-third
and F streets. This Mr.. Dill refused
to do, on the ground that the exten-
sions at both places entitled the COM
pany to revenue.
ASK IommISSiO > HulcS.
The board of works and Mr.. Dill are
anxious for the Utilities Commission
to act ON the case, that specific rules
may be made governing extension of
mains and hydrant rentals.
To avoid condemnation proceedings
of a strip of land belonging to the
Starr Piano company an agreement
was ratified by the board, by which
the city assumed the responsibility for
the sewer crossing the property to
the Whitewater river.
The board had instituted proceed,
ings to condemn the land as an ex.
tension of Johnson street, getting the
privilege of using it for sewer pur-
/ poses.
The responsibility assumed by the
city, Attorney Bond said, was only
that which it was legally bound to
assume when creating a public nuis
ance of any kind.

| agreement had been made with the
Kingsbury and Fletcher company to
furnish water for adequate fire pro-
