both as to the undertaking at this
time, and to the location of such a
structure.
Fargo has been mentioned as the
place for the: hospital, but 1t is also

than the state metropolis.

The subject of whether the Metho-
dists is small communities should

IS CAUSED
IN RUSSIA

Kiev, Russia, Oct. 10.--A sensation
was caused by an article in the COM
servative and anti-semitic newspaper,
Kievlianin. assailing the court that is
trying Menddel Beiliss on the charge
of numbering Andrew Yushinsky, a.
christian boy at Kiev, in March, 1910.
"You are treating Beiliss like a rab-
bit on a table for a vivisectfonist," !"
says the writer.
While denouncing the alleged un-
scrupnlousness of Jews In attempting
to obtain the release of Beiliss, the
writer says the charge against him is a.
charge that the whole religion is Of a.
most infamous superstition. Therefore
the indictment should have been
strong enough to raise such an enor-
nous wave Of opinion against the sup.
erstition that it would be broken down.
.Tnjustice will not produce the de-.
sired fruits. However advantageous 1T
may be from party standpoint to
prove the existence of ritual murders,
the prosecution ought not to have, and
has not the right to undertake the
supplying Of the living object, indis-.
pensable for a trial of this kind.
NJ 1t Is a nonstrous theory that Bell
ISIS is OF no account and even may be
acquitted Ii the ritual lis established.

Albany, N. z, Oct. 1O--The Sulzer
Impeachment trial was brought UP to
the balloting stage by former State
Sen. Edgar T. Bracket. who closed
the case for the board of managers

that former State Sen. Stephen j.

MAN Ran AMUCk
and SHOT THREE

Dan Sanders, a white man, and two
negroes, Alfred Eldridge and James
Edwards, were shot last night when
Jess BarfieId, white, ran amuck with
a 32 caliber revolver. None Of the
wounds are fatal. Eldridge and San
ders We're shot In almost identically
the same spot, beneath the right eye
in both. cases, and Edwards was
struck on the top Of the head the
bullet plowing it's way through the
scalp, and out at the back of the
head. tBarfield was. arrested and is
being held at the police station, pend
ing action by the states. attorneys.
The three men who were shot all
tell tht same story. They We're ques-
toned this morning by States Attor-
ney Fowler, and said that Barfeld had
been indulging literally in ''snow."
They had had no alteration, said the
men, but were simply sitting in the
"jungIes." Barfield, who had been
drinking, was snuffing the "snow" and
the men assert that he kept saying,
81 feel myself going, boys Then,
entirely without warning, he leaped
to his feet, drew his revolver, and be-
gan shooting. He fired three shots,
and every one took effect.
The three men who were shot fell to
the ground, and for a time, were un-
conscious. When they recovered, Bar
field was not to be seen. They made
their way to the city, one Of the
negroes walking, the other coming in
hack, and Sanders in buggy, which
happened to pass the place.
A little later a phone call came to
the police station saying that a man
had been found in the basement of ].
f. Pallister's home. 314 Thirteenth
street north. The police went out and
got the man. who was Barfe1d. Mrs.
Pallister had found him standing on
the basement stairs. He said simply
that they were after him. and he want
ed to hide. When they suggested call
ing the police he acquiesed and told
them to go ahead. His story is that
teh three men tried to hold him up,
and that he shot in self defense. How
ever all three men tell the same story
as to how the shooting occurred, and
his testimony is decidedly at variance
with theirs.
Sanders was taken to the hospital
this afternoon and the bullet was re-
moved. The two negroes are still in
the city jail.

IN EVERY
STATE

Washington, D. c., Oct. 10.-Through
an announcement made here today it
became known that the National Con-
ServattOn congress has arranged
to establish an organization in every
state for the first time in the history
of the conservation movement. The
state organizations are to be under the
direction Of the congress and are be-
ing formed under a policy that will
give powerful impetus to the work of
the national body. Plans have been
made for nationwide activity by the
state organizations prior to the fifth
session of the congress, which is called
to meet in Washington Nov. is, 19 and
20.
Through the machinery thus created
the congress expects to, be able to set
in motion in the various states con-
crete plans for putting into practical
effect the conservation principles for
which the congress stands. Hereto
fore the congress has contented itseH
for the most part with working up
public sentiment, through it's annual
meetings. In this 1t has been highly
1successfnL Each of the four great atf}~
Fnua meetings OF the body has had a
noticeable effect ON sentiment and Leg
islation. -...., ,.-...-..., ,.-- -.-...
The congress is already powerful in
it's function as a clearing house among
the state conservation commissions
and the conservation committees OF
various national organizations.
Through these, and particularly the
latter, it has been able to exert great
influence. Pres. Charles Lathrop Pack
feels that it's scope should become still
broader. To this end he has caused
the state organizations to be perfected.
Each state organization will consist
primarily Of state vice president and
a state secretary. Contrary to GUS
tom these. officials will not be mere
igureheads. Active men of known in
fluence have been. selected and are
committed to energetic application to
the work. in hand. .....,
The vice president of North Dakota
is Prof. Jas. e. Boyle of Grand Forks,
and the secretary is Miss M. J, Neil
son, Valley City.
