but two were convicted last December

plots in connection with the unions
strike against "open snop" contractors,
was planned at the associations an
nuaI convention, which begins today.
1t is the unions first convention since
that held in Milwaukee iii the fall OF
1911, several months before John j.
Mcnamara pleaded guilty to dynamit-
ing in Los Angeles About 100 dele
gates are present from local unions
in every state representing 10000 mem-
bers of the organization. Pres. Frank
M. Ryan, who received as a sentence,
the heaviest punishment of all, was
favored by some delegates for re-elec-
tion. All the sessions will be secret.
An effort Is being made TO forbid
discussion of the dynamite cases al
the convention because the appeals are
still pending, but many delegates seem
determined to demand a debate ON the
subject. Only business pertaining to
the unions affairs was transacted al
today's session.
II was announced that John u. But
Ter, who received a six year sentence IN
the dynamite case. be succeeded as vice
president. Successors to the members

Commercial Club Committee
Held Meeting
Mass Meeting Of the Club to
Be Held In March

The executive committee of the Far
go Commercial club this noon at the
regular weekly meeting appropriated
the sum of $500 for an investigation
of the railroad rates on all the rail-
roads affecting Fargo with a hope of
having readjustment of the same.
1t has been two years or more since
this matter has been taken up by the
commercial club with the railroad
people and it seems to be the wish Of
the general public that the subject be
again brought up.
Secretary Hardy reported that the
series Of articles on town development
which had been ordered by the club
and which will be run from time to
time in The Forum have already ar
rived and will be edited and given out
for publication in the near future.
1t was decided to have a big mass
meeting of the club some time early
in the month of March which the
city council will be most cordially
invited, to attend. The question of
the finances of the city wilr be the
subject that will be taken up for dis
cussion and one of the city officials
who is Conversant with the facts and
figures viii be asked to speak.
After attending to the usual routine
business of the club the executive
committee. adjourned to meet next
Monday at noon at the club dining
room.

Chicago, ILL.,, Feb. 24.-An alleged
Labor trust" was attacked by the fed
eral government in a civil suit filed
against the local unions, Nos. 9 and
134 of the International Brotherhood
of Electrical Workers, engaged in a
strike against the Postal Telegraph &
Cable Co.
AS a part of the labor war against
the telegraph company, the govern
ment charges the officers and en-
ployes of the union with combining
and conspiring, through acts of Vio-
dence and depredations, to injure the
postal wires to interfere with the
transmission Of government and COM
mercial messages in Interstate com
merce, .
The government asked that defend
ants be enioined from obstruCting In
terstate and government messages
via the postal from cutting, burning
or otherwise injuring the telegraph
lines and from interfering by threats,
intimation, persuasion or force with
employees or prospective employees Of
the company. Pending the final hear
ings, the petition pleads for a tenn
porary injunction against the alleged
unlawful acts.

The fact that the bodies of the two

REPORT On
The CAPITOL
FUND MADE

Bismarck. N. d.. Feb. 24.-Governor
Hanna made a report as requested to
the house this afternoon relating to
the condition of the capitol building
fund showing S1.1S3967 "as a fund
with which to build new capitol"
In his report the governor says in
part:
The older part of the building is a
fire trap. The library of the supreme
court, which has cost the state be-
tween $4,000 and 100000 is a menace
by reason of its great weight to the
safety of the building, or part of
it and in case of fire it would be
absolutely impossible to save it or
any part of 1t.
If new building is contemplated
by the Legislature. it would take ap-
proximately the next two years to
dispose of the lands. to secure plans
and assemble material to build with.

lecture, for that is what it was, on
The Heavenly Vision was a master
piece of rhetoric and powerful oratory,
interesting facts and poetic gems. DR..
King took the position that a man
could possess mastery powers and
still not be a great man. He talked
of the greatness of Solomon, yet
showed how weak he was under
temptation. He said that Burns was
a great man in poetic effusions, yet
he lacked character, and he said that
it is not wisdom that makes man
great, but character.

WASHINGTON, June 17-Maior
General ]. Franklin Bell, commanding
the Philippine division of the army
was called upon by the War Depart
ment for a report in regard to the OPP
erations which General Pershing is
conducting against the Moros In the
island of Jolo. First reports iudi-
Gated that several American soldiers
had been killed or wounded. Some
apprehension was felt by General
Wood, chief of staff. over the report
that the sultan of Jolo was leading
the Moros. II this is true, he said,
the sultan, who has been relied upon
by the American authorities, has been
guilty of treachery, and this might
mean a serious menace Of General
Pershing's command. After further
reflection General Wood was inclined
to doubt the report, placing strong
faith in the sultan, whom he knew
very well when he was in The Philip
pines. The present uprising in the
island of Jolo represents the resent
ment that is felt by some Of the
Moros over an effort on the part Of
General Pershing to bring about the
complete disarmament Of the tribe in
the southern Philippines.

in Sunday school lessons and about
the ethical rather than specific doc

series of their own. The new scheme
affects the intermediate and senior
grades only.

cases were strongly consured for lack
of definite instruction, are now in

rOINTER MAN MUsT RE HEEpEp.

From the Milford Chronicle.
The Wilmington city elections,
which we're held last Saturday, was
surprise to the people, and to the Re
publicans especially, as the majority
was more than double their largest
claims At this election the new bal
lot law was put to its first test, and
It plainly showed that the independent
voter made good use of it, and that
the Spoiled" ballots which heretofore
amounted into many hundreds, was
reduced to a nominal figure. The in
tent of the voter was the basis of
counting, and the new ballot law at
Its first trial gives promise of good
results.
In re-electing the mayor and the
entire city ticket, the Republican party
of Wilmington was shown, that a sub
stantial majority of the people believe
In its policies and have confidence in
Its future But the most positive ex-
preston by the peoples ballots was
on the river front proposition, and
ninety-fve per cent. of all we're in
favor of the city having absolute own
ership of all reclaimed lands along
the river front. and that legal steps
be taken to test the con-
stitutionality of a law passed several
years ago by the Legislature, which
gave this land over to private parties.
What the people want is square deal
and this referendum vote is pointer
that must be needed.
