FACTOR IN RUIN OF GIRLS
Head Of Illinois Probe Discusses Cues.
tion Of Wages.

Chicago, March 12.-"Millionaire
employers who have testified that
they see no connection between low
wages and the vice situation either
have very little conscience or no con-
science at all"
Lieutenant Governor O'Hara, head
OF the vice probers, made this COM
ment. The committee has taken an
adjournment for a few days, the re-
convening of the state legislature
making 1t ipadvisable to meet here.
That starvation wages have been
coined into enormous profits for mil
lionaire employers has been proved
conclusively by this investigation, !"
continued O'Hara. These men can
not convince the public that they do
not know that low wages are a prime
factor in the ruin of young girls. 1t
is up to them to redeem their reputa-
tions as right thinking men by raising
the wages of all girl workers in their
employ to the bread line they them
selves have fxed-$S a week-with-
out ccmpulsion by the state"

FEDERAL MINIMUM
WAGE BILL WANTED
Appeals Reach Washington From
All Over Country.

Washington, March 12.-From ev-
cry section of the country there are
pouring in on the new administration
and senators and congressman ap-
peals that they take up the question
OF the minimum wage for women and
girls as soon as possible.
The revelations In the Chicago
probe, which are paralleled in every
community in the nation, have stirred
the people to an extent seldom be-
fore reached and there is little doubt
that the problem will be a really seri-
GUS one when the regular session of
congress opens in December next.
There Is hardly community in the
nation where investigations are not
now in progress. The fact that the
majority of the big business men in
Chicago have insisted that national
and not state legislation will be re-
quired to solve the problem brings
the question home to the national
legislators.
The introduction of any general bill
framed along the lines suggested
from Chicago would Immediately pre-
cipitate the question OF state rights
and this question Is is thought would
furnish decidedly ticklish situation
which would require diplomacy to set
tie without a split.

Present Head Of Department Believes
Many Postmasters Were Retained
for Political Purposes and Not as
Reward for Merit.
Washington, March 12.-President
Wilson held two-hour meeting with
his cabinet, in which general policies
governing the organization of the
various departments were outlined
and a few minor appointments dis
cussed.
Postmaster General Burleson, who
remained with the president for some
time after the cabinet meeting, later
gave his opinion of Mr. Taft's order
placing $4,000 third and fourth class
postmasters in the classified service
"The policy of the administration

The postmaster generals declara-
tion was subject to some comment, as
the third and fourth class postmasters
are the prizes sought by thousands of
Democrats throughout the country.
Those who heard him make the state
ment were not certain that he meant
to convey the idea that the Taft order
would be rescinded and that a new
order would be promulgated which
would require the merit test

meeting that merely routine" had

Must Not Assist in Attack
on Scutari.
FEELING AT HIGH PITCH
SerVian Government Replies That
Under Treaty Agreements That
Country Is Compelled to Assist the
Other Balkan Allies.

Belgrade, Servia, March 12.-The
Austrian government has taken a.
step regarded as equivalent to for
bidding Servia to send troops to as
sist the Montenegrins in captsring
the Turkish fortress of Scutari.
The Austrian minister to Servia,
Baron Won Urgon Won Abranfalva, in
formed Premier Pasitch that his gov
ernment objected to Servian troops
assisting in the siege of Scutari
which was to become the capital of
Albania. He requested the immediate
recall of any Servian troops which
had been dispatched there.
The Servian premier, in reply,
pointed out that under treaty arrange
ments Servia was compelled to assist
her allies without regard to the future
of Scutari
The situation is regarded as ex-
tremely delicate. Feeling here is at
a high pitch over the attitude taken
by Austria.
Reason for Austria's Protest.
The fortress of Scutari, near the
Montenegi:e frontier, has been be-
sieged by the Montenegrins without
material success since the beginning
of the Balkan war. It's capture and
inclusion in the kingdom of Monte
negro were the chief reasons for King
Nicholas Joining in the hostilities.
4 When the European powers decid-
ed In principle on an autonomous AL
bania, In which Scutari was to be in
cluded, the king of Montenegro de-
clared he would enter the fortress at
the head of his troops, otherwise the
reign of his family was doomed.
In the meantime the Servian troops
had completed their campaign in
Macedonia and Albania and advanced
to the Adriatic coast at Durazo,
whence on March they dispatched
on board transports 5000 Servian
troops, including artillery, to assist
in the siege of Scutari.
1t was this activity of Servia which
called forth the Austrian protest.

Juvizy, France, Sept. 2.-Aviator
Pegoud successfully looped the loop
in a monoplane late today, establish.
ing a new record for daring.
Pegoud recently caused a sensation
by dropping safely from an aeroplane
with a parachute. He announced, be-
fore leaving the ground today that he
intended to turn a somersault in the
air with his aeroplane and his move
ments were followed closely by a
large throng.
When he reached height of about
5000 feet he turned the nose of his
machine straight toward the earth
and darted downward with his motor
working at full power. After plung-
ing about 100 feet with f1ightful vel
ocity, he changed the position of his
rudder and caused the aeroplane to
turn a vertical circle. The machine
then glided down in spiral volplane
and alighted gently on the ground.
Pegoud will repeat the feat tomor-
row in the presence of committee Of
military officers.

ANDERSON CLOTHING co. CASH
$21 CHECK FOR STRANGER
CRUDE FORGERY.

At an early hour Thursday morning
a stranger entered the store of the
Anderson Clothing Company and aft
er buying $1.25 union suit offered a
check in payment bearing what was
supposed to be the signature of J. r.
Getchell and made payable to Bert
Barton. Chas. Campbell who was
waiting on the man was unable to get
into the safe where the money was
as the safe had not yet been opened
and so took the check to the Right
Price Mercantile Company and obtain
ed the money on it.
The first intimation that the store
had that the check was not good was
when it was returned 10 them this
morning from the Right Price store
after it had been presented to the
bank for payment.
The matter was called to the atten-
ton of the police at once, but owing
to the time that had elapsed there is
very little hope Of apprehending the
forger.
The check was rather crude, but the
smallness of the amount averted sus-
pioion.
In endorsing the check the fellow
signed Bert Bartin from which it is
gathered that the name used was not
the name of the fellow that passed the
check but one only taken for the &C.
casion. The name Getchell was writ.
ten Getchll No blame is attached to
anyone for the loss of the money as
almost all of the money that is taken
in at this time Of the year comes in in
the way of checks and it is not sur
prising that occasionally a forgery
may pass.

Jamestown, Sept. 2.-The prisoner
j. B. Rogers, sent to the Stutsman
county Jail from Bismarck, managed
to get free from the cell corridor Fri
day night, and is now at large. He
made clever escape and effected it by
means of a small table knife which
he had made into file or saw by press
ing the blade of the knife against the
sharp edge of a screw which held a
window fastener. With the knife he
reached through his cell bars and saw.
ed off one bar of steel that guards one
of the west windows Of the second
story Of the Jail. The adjoining bar
he also sawed off at the bottom, but
apparently did not have time to fin

the bar sufficiently to allow him to
crawl through into the window where
wire screen was cut through, the
screen frame removed, and the pris-
oner made his escape by tying
blanket to one of the bars of the win
dow and descending from the second
story to the ground.
Dogers was one of two men arrest
ed in Burleigh county on the charge
of breaking into the postoftice and
robbing the safe at Mckenzie. He

for about a week and has been lock-

night, when he made an excuse that
he expected a visit from his attor-
ney, whom he had seen during the

main in the narrow corridor sur
rounding two cells in order to talk
to the lawyer in the evening. Dep
uty Russell Wright was alone in the
Jail until 9 o'clock when he was call
ed away, and some time during the
night the prisoner made his escape.

awaited the opportunity of being in
the corridor to complete his escape.
