Committee Explains Elimination OF
House Amendments by State

the democrat Underwood-St mmons tar
If bill on which the senate began gen
eral debate according 10 the report OF
the finance committee majority sub
mitted by the chairman, Senator +. NJ
Simmons.
The report also shows that the bill
as reported TO the senate provides
rates 4.22 per cent lower than the
Underwood bill as IL passed the house
and that from it, together with other
government receipts for the fiscal year
ending June 80, 1914, there VIII be an
estimated surplus in the government
treasury of $4,000
A salient feature OF this bill. it is
pointed out, is the large increase OF
imports to be admitted free Of duty.
Under the house bill the value OF
free listed imports, on the basis OF
1912 importations, was 100000, 900,
whereas the democrats OF the senate
in caucus, by sweeping. changes, pro-
pose to free list imports valued AT
147,367 900, an increase in undutiable
imports over the house bill OF $43,367,-
600.
In analyxing it's changes in the
house administrative features of the

amendments Of the house entirely too
drastic" particularly those authoriz-

this state as a substitute for
snuff is as much a violation of

Itself, commissioner Ladd feels

The substitute it is claimed, is
treated in every way like snuff,
but instead Of being pulveriz-:

ACCIDENT
PROVES FATAL
BISMARCK MAN MEETS
DEATH AT BEACH IN
MIXUP WITH HORSE.

Beach, N: D., July 31.-John
Mcclellan of Bismarck was the
victim of a peculiar accident in
this city last Saturday, from
the effects Of which he died
Tuesday morning at the Beach
hospital.
Young Mcclellan was on his
way west overland with r.
Broadway and son, and last
Saturday the party camped just
north of the track in this city.
Saturday evening Mcclellan
went up town and about 1880
met William O'Conners at the
Tli-State Implement building
and entered into conversation.
Mr.. O'Conners was driving a
team, one Of which was a bron-
cho in course of training, and
Mcclellan wanted to trade
horses. With the evident pur-
pose of looking over the horse
he stepped from the sidewalk,
and taking hold Of the names
on this animal gave them
shake, whereupon the animal
went into the air, and lunging
forward struck Mcclellan in
such a way that he was thrown
violently to the ground, strik-
ing the back Of his head upon
the edge Of the cement side
walk. Mr.. O'Conners immed-
lately drove to Lee & Rice's
drug store where he notified
Mr.. Lee of the accident, who
Immediately notified DR.. Slough
and then went to the injured
boy. When he arrived he was
still laying with his head on the
edge of the sidewalk. A cot
was Immediately procured, and
upon arrival Of the doctor the
boy was placed in the wagon
and taken to the Beach hospital
where he died Tuesday morn
ing at Z o'clock.

Minot, N. D., July 3l.-There

ed here, chief dispatchers, Of

There would be no less than a

and the 500 would give its riv-
al a run for their money The
500 is very active in this sec
tion of the state. The super
intendent from Minot could
handle the business Of the var
ious 500 branches from this
point. A large new round
house and shops would no
doubt be built. The 500 owns

JUDGE COWAN TO ACT AS
COUNSEL FOR Ignite PEOPLE
Hon. Geo. a. Bangs of Grand Forks. Assisted by
Attorney Fred B. Andrews of Bowbells. to
Defend the Canvassing Board..-Loser at
this Trial to Appeal to Supreme Court

A special term of district
court will be held in Bowbells
commencing this afternoon for
the purpose of trying the Sam
tQtmond county seat case which
was filed Immediately after the
general election in the fall of
1910. At that time Ignite re-
ceived more votes for county
seat than did Bowbells, but in
several precincts the election
was held in places other than
those designated as legal poll
ing places by the county board.
In all cases where the voting
took place in illegal places the
votes were thrown out by the
canvassing board, and it hap
pened that most of the mis-
takes were made in the Ignite
territory, and Bowbells was
proclaimed the permanent coun-
ty seat. ...
Immediately after the cam
vassing board announced it's
findings the Ignite contingent
asked for a writ of mandamus
compelling the canvassing board
to count the votes thrown out.
The hearing took place in the
district court at Minot before
Judge Templeton, and the can
vassing board was sustained
in it's action. Ignite then ap-
pealed to. the supreme court
and here too the canvassing
board was sustained.
At the same time as the
mandamus proceedings were in

getting the best obtainable in
the line of feature films.

nothing was done in his case
until the first case was settled.
The Bowbells contingent does
not deny that Ignite received
more votes than Bowbells did,
and Lignite does not deny hav-
ing held elections at illegal
polling places. It is not a ques-
tion of fact for the courts to
decide, but a question of law.
No matter which way the dis
trict court here decides, the los
ing town will carry the case
to the supreme court, and the
matter will not end until the

EDMORE MAN WAS
MURDERED IN HOTEL
Autopsy PROVES THAT HE
WAS BOTH POISONED
AND BEATEN.

Grand Forks, N. D., July 81:
Harry Fresse Of Ed
more died as the result of be-
ing poisoned and from a blow
on the head, was brought out
in the recent examination of
the mans body. The stomach
and other organs were brought
to the state university here
several days ago and were ex
an1ined by DR.. G. A. Abbott,
who has reported to the effect
that choral was found in the
victims stomach.
The alleged murder was COM
mitted at Lawton Friday
night, July II, where Fresse
had gone to attend the street
carnival and ball game, which
took place at that time. He
had driven from Edmore in
his automobile and was accom-
panied by a number of the Ed
more ball players. He was
seen by his friends that night
for the last time about IL
o'clock. He was about to take
the party back to Edmore,
but left the machine, saying
that he was going to take
someone else back with him.
The other men waited in the
car and when Fresse did not
return they slept right there.
In the morning a search was
started for the missing man
and ne was found in one of the
Lawton hotels in a room with
TWO other men. He was very
dazess and seemed to know it
himself, for he made the re-
mark that he would "come out
of it" in a little while. It
was this remark which made
his friends suspect that there
was something wrong. He was
sleeping in the same bed with
one man and the other was in
a bed by himself. These fel-
lows were both working for
the Cash Carnival Co. which
was putting on the show at
Lawton. Their names are
Richard Behnke and George
Moriarty and they are now be-
ing held prisoners. Fresse
died the next Sunday evening.
Atty. F. T. Cuthbert of Dev-
lis Lake is in the city attend
ing court here and he says
that the preliminary hearing
of the men will most likely
be held next Wednesday. Mr..
Cuthbert is states attorney of
Ramsey county and will prose-
cute the case if the men are
bound over to district court.
In addition to the poison in
his system, physicians. also
claim that Fresse suffered
from concussion Of the brain
as the result Of a blow be-
hind one Of his ears, which
was dealt with a blunt instru-
ment. The murdered man was
perfectly sober on the night
he was attacked and it is
thought that the motive for
the crime was robbery. It is
believed that the men held pris-
oners thought that they would
have a better chance to prove
their innocence by staying
right in bed and not trying to
run away.
