"From Greenland's icy mountains to
India's coral strands" might have been
we'll sung last evening at the great
missionary banquet which took place
in the Masonic temple auditorium, for
missionaries from almost every part
of the world were present and gave
the banqueters talks that were in
structive as well as most interesting.
The dinner was an excellent one
and was we'll served, there being over
forty young women acting as waitress
ses and there were over $50 served
during the time of the banquet hour.
The courses began at $50 and were
ended in about an hour. After the
dinner was served many people who
did not care to attend the banquet
took seats in the balcony of the temple
to hear the speech making and they
were well repaid.
Judge Pollock Toastmaster.
Charles A. Pollock, district judge,
presided at the banquet, introducing
the various speakers in pleasing
manner and the World Wide
Campaign chorus under the direction
of A. J. Stephens and assisted by the
ladies' quartette rendered excellent
music which was heartily appreciated.
The quartette was composed of Mrs.
GolDDnElS, MI .. LJDODiCSt wa . 1SNNS anu
Miss Wright.
During the evening playlet was
given by the Women's Missionary
society of the First Presbyterian
church under the direction OF Mrs.
Blanche Hutchinson, and it was one
that was pleasing. Those who took
part in ii were Mrs. r. NJ. Pollock,
Mrs. Ashley, Mrs. A. M. Baker, Mrs.
George Sweetland, Mrs Schriver, Mrs.
George Rusk, Mrs. May and Mrs.
Milton Lawrence. The play was
named, How to Run a Missionary
Meeting, and the theme was how to
run a meeting to have no clashing
and to do the most good. Mrs.
Hutchinson gave a reading, being a
short selection from The Other Wise
man.
The Speaking Begins.
The first speaker of the evening was
DR. Stearns of Fargo college and he
had for his subject The Bible as a
Missionary Book AS a Biblical
student DR.. Stearns stands at the
head of all in the northwest and his
Bible classes during the campaign
have been very much edited by his
teaching. He took UP the work VI
st. Paul as a missionary and told Of
the many wonderful campaigns that
he had originated and carried through
successfully. He told how the great

German Foreign Minister Would
Recover Loss

Berlin, Feb. 21.--The Mexican situa-
ton was considered in the imperial
reichstag when Gottlieb Won Jagow,
the foreign minister, replied to the
Interrogation as to what measures the
government head taken for the protec-
ton of the Germans in Mexico. He
declared Germany had not sent any
warships to Mexico because the only
ship available in American waters
was on the way to Philadelphia for
repairs.
The foreign office learned, how
ever. that numerous warsnips in
Mexican waters had been instructed
to give protection to all foreigners
and as far as possible protect their
property. The Germany foreign of
flee thanked the United States gov
ernment for this service No Germans
have been killed in the fighting.
Efforts were made to recover the
property loss from the Mexican GOV

81 consider Fargo's pure water the
city's greatest asset" declared Prof.
u. Il. Ladd, the pure food commits
sioner, at the dinner celebrating the
completion of the filtration plant at
the Waldorf hotel last night. 1T is
perhaps the one thing eastern home
seekers will be more particular about
than anything else when selecting a
location for their future homes and
business enterprises in the west"
This sentiment was the general
spirit of the guests of the members of
the water committee of the city coun-
ell, Aldermen Bowers, Mcdonald and
Cooper and City Engineer Anders.
who were hosts of the enjoyable and
instructive occasion last night. Those
who partook of the hospitality of
these public spirited gentlemen Were
the men who have been most promin-
ent in the construction of the plant
which is just completed.
After a delectable dinner served in
a private dining room on the top floor
Alderman Bowers presided as toast
master of an impromptu programme
and introduced a number of speakers
who spoke of the plant and its great
advantage to the city. Mayor Sweet
was the first to be heard. He re-
counted the history Of the water
publication movement in the city
which dates back to his previous
administration, when the agitation
first began.
The mayor told of $500 which the
council appropriated for his use ar
that time to make an investigation of
what could then be done to convere
the nearest Minnesota lakes into a
source of Fargo's water supply. This
was later found to be impractical on
account Of the necessary legislation
in the Minnesota legislature which
would enable the Fargoaus to secure

Bismarck, N. D., Feb. 21.-When
Lambert's bill prohibiting the drink
ing or rendering of Intoxicating liquors
in hotels or restaurants was reported
back by the temperance committee
this afternoon there was long de-
bate over a motion to Indefinitely
postpone further consideration. The
bill finally was referred to the COM
mittee of the whole. 1t provides po-
lice power for all hotel, restaurant
and boarding house proprietors and
employees in enforcing the provi-
sions of this act.
The house is fighting over motion
to reconsider the action by which
Lamberts Initiative and referendum
bill was lost yesterday. The motion
to reconsider was made by Buck, who
voted with the majority yesterday.

apostle had translated the Bible into
msny tongues and said that his work
was such that It bad lasted through
out the ages. And today the Bible is
known in almost every tongue AMI
there Is a study of it going on all
over the entire world. He praised the
work of the missionaries of all the
churches.
DR.. Yerkes on China.
DR.. Yerkes was the next speaker
introduced by Judge Pollock and he
took up the theme of the New China.
He has been in China the past SIX or
eight years and was there during the
revolution. He said that during his
eight years in China his district had
only been visited three times by
foreigners, one was a tobacco sales
man, another was a standard oil man
and another was a representative or
the British legation. 1t was seldom
that missionaries were seen, but this
fact was largely due to the great size
of the country and tourists seldom
came into the countries where the
missionaries were at work. He spoke
of the great trade advantages which
are being ignored by the American
people, and Of the work that is be-
ing done in that direction by German
and English capital. He said TINT
China was awakened and would as
the years went on advance in every
way.
Possibilities of Africa.
Or. Fraser was the next speaker and
he took up the subject of The Pos
sibilities of Africa. He is one of the
most popular speakers of the course.
He said that while Africa has great
wealth it didn't just consist Of
diamonds and gold, but it consisted
in the possibilities of getting lives for
the Master, He told of tie great
forests, the diamond fields and the
gold mines and he ended in saying
that when the native was taught the
ideas of morality and religion he
was not slow to take up that way
of living.
Education in India.
DR.. Fife's subject was Education i'm
India and as he has been engaged for
the past quarter of a century in that
line of work he was capable Of speak
ing on the subject. He said that the
people of India were being educated
in the ways of christian people and
they were not at ali slow in taking
advantage of all they heard. He said
the schools of India were bringing
about a union of the christian people

Browns Speech.
c. Arthur Brown of o. Lorrain, O.,
chief of the filtration plant bureau IF
the American Steel & Wire Co, whose
able assistance to City Engineer
Enders in the construction of the Far
go plant has been so deeply appreciaI-
ed by all the city officials, was the
next speaker. Mr.. Brown is one Of the
MOST prominent water publication ex-
perts in the country.
In. an advisory capacity Mr.. Brown
has assisted in the, supervision of the
largest filtration plants of the country
including those at New Orleans,
Washington, the stockyards district
in Chicago, Milwaukee, Minneapolis,
Columbus, Pittsburg, Winnipeg and
others. Perhaps the most celebrated
filtration plant in this hemisphere, the
one at Lorrain, o., constructed by the
American Steel & Wire Co., was built
entirely under his personal direction,
Many famous plants in the smaller
cities, such as the plants at Oberlin
and Elyria, o., are both the result of
his supervision. s..
Among the points Mr.. Brown en-
phasized was the advertising neces-
sary for this plant. He felt the city
of Fargo was as yet not appreciative

The COMEDY
OF A COMMA

Bismarck, n. D., Feb. 21.-The fea-
ture of the session of the senate yes
terday might well be styled The Com
edy of a Comma, as that was the only
subject over which there was any de-
bate of length. The clash came when
the bill offered by the educational COM
mittee, providing for a state board of
education, came up. 1t was the fear of
Senator Carter. SO he stated, that there
was an attempt on the part of inter-
ested persons to have the bill so word
ed that the state board would have
control of the studies that should be
taken UP in the different state schools.
Mr.. Talcott, chairman of the senate
educational committee, assured the
gentleman from Richland that such was
not the intention of the committee and
that such a proposition had never been
taken up in the committee or mention
ed by any member of the committee.
AT this point Senator Carter asked
that the remark of the chairman of the
educational committee be made mat
ter of record, but just here someone
discovered that there was a comma
after the word state in the amendment
as it was printed in the journal that
did not apneaF in the bill and that the
comma changed the entire meaning cf
the section in which it appeared but
should not have been.
Mr.. Talcott had already made his re-
marks and they had been taken down
by the stenogTapher and he asked il
the senator from Richland would per-
init the remarks to be stricken from
the record as long as the comma was
out. Mr.. Carter stated that he would
be willing to have the matter remain
a matter of record and Mr.. Talcott
made the following statement for HIM
self and the committee on education:
There has been no mention made at
the meetings of the educational com
mittee. nor to my knowledge is there
any intent in the inserting of this
amendment into the proposed state ed
ucational bill, that the board consti-

l. Madero, the deposed president
of Mexico, will not be raiiroaded
to jail, or thrown into mad
house or summarily executed by
Provisional President Huerta, ac-
cording to the reports from Am
bassador Wilson. Madero, the
ambassador reports, will be given
a fair trial and possibly the worst
fate that will await him will be
exile.
Secretary Knox, with the ap-
proVal of President Taft, instruct
ed Ambassador Wilson to convey
to Huerta in diplomatic terms, the
intimation that the United States
would seriously object to the sum
mary execution of sentence of Ma
dero. 1t is not felt here the form
er president should be put out of
the way for crimes which are pure
ly political, without a fair and open
trial. This view was made plain
to Huerta and the fact was not
concealed that the United States
looked with disfavor upon the
shooting of GustaVo Madero, the
presidents brother. .. .,. ...
The administrators attitude to-
ward the provisional government
in Mexico was discussed at cab
met meeting. Taft and Knox new
er believed, it is said, that Madero
was a strong president for the re-
public as shown with the reVolu-
ton. They believed, however, he dis
played many human traits and he
is entitled to hearing. They have
