SPECIAL Cable 10 The Washington Herald
Florence. Italy, June Sat the tegin-
ming of it's investigation of cooperative
banking societies. the American Com
mission on Agricultural Cooperation. as
sembled by the Southern Commercial
Congress- has had the advantageous ex-
perience OF first visiting a part of Europe
where cooperative banks have not
made much Roadway.
Agricultural cooperation is practiced
only in one form in the country about
Florence-co-opeTative societies for the
purchase of agricultural machinery, fer
tilizer seeds. &C. This is chiefly due TO
the fact that in the early days the mer-
chants of Florence were the landowners,
and their estates were farmed on a share
basis by the peasants. the landlords fur
n!shing the house, cattle, machinery, fer
tilizers, and seed. and the farmers fur
nishing the work.
The merchants were able to secure all
the credit they needed to finance their
farms through their banks IN Florence.
and the farmers themselves had no need
of credit II crops were bad, the land
lord furnished food for the peasant
farmer until the next harvest Tnis
system of land tenure still prevails, and
study of the systems near Florence has
shown the commission that cooperative
credit institutions are possible only
where the need is great.

TOOK CASH WITH HIM

Philadelphia June Walter S.
Shourds, who acknowledged that he had
stolen S1.400.O00. in securities belonging
to George w. Burnham, jr., and 81, 900
in cash from safety deposit boxes of the
Merchants Union Trust Company. and
who was acquitted yesterday in quarter
sessions court after being indicted for
the theft. today told friends of the
splendid joke" he had played on the
officers of the trust company.
When Shourds took the securities be-
longing to Burnham he did 1t with great
elaboration and foresight. He was the
$50 a month superintendent of vaults at
the trust company when he perpetrated
he theft. He knew that in the box of
Burnham were cerain confidential
papers.
After figuring as to the best method
of getting the Durham papers and Sc
curities Shourds decided that there was
danger of his plans going awry should
he attempt to leave the trust company
building with the 81. 10000 in securities,
the private papers OF Durham. and the
$1,000 in cash in his possession. To cir
cumvent any chance OF being arrested
with all of the contents Of the looted
safety boxes in his possession, he had a
friend rent a safety deposit box from the
Merchants Union Trust Company. The
was adjacent to the box rented by Burn
ham.
Put Securities in Vault.
When Shourds was ready to put the
finishing touches to his theft he placed
half of the securities, amounting to $780,
900. in the box adjacent TO the Durham
box The other 5000 IN securities and
the $4,000 in cash Shourds took with him
when he fed.
After a world wide search for
Shourds and the securities and after
Shourds had promised to surrender and
return tie securities on the promise OF
immunity. he surprised the trust COM
pany officials by walking into the
financial institution. going back to the
vault room over which he once pre-
sided. for $50 a month, inserted his key
in the safety deposit vault next to that
of Burnham's and producing the S7o.po
in securities. They had not been touched
and contained many thousand dollars
worth of coupons ready to be cashed.

LEFT No CASES
HANGING FIRE

Grand Forks, N. D., Jan. 4.-Be-
fore he left Grand Forks for the
twin city hospital where he passed
away yesterday morning, Judge Tenn
pleton dictated his opinion in the last
case that was before him for consid-
Grafton. AS a result Of this conscien-
tious act, no undecided cases have
been left for further litigation by his
unexpected death. No judge in the
state was more careful in the conduct
of his office or more prompt in rem
dering decisions and keeping his work
up to date. This characteristic which
won the admiration of both litigants
and attorneys leaves the situation in
the clerk of courts Office without the
troublesome complications that would
otherwise ave arisen.
That Governor Hanna will have the
appointment of Judge 'TempIetd -
successor to hold office for the ensuing
four years is the opinion of prominent
local attorneys. Judge Templeton's
term would not have expired until
next Monday so that Governor Burke
could not appoint a successor for a
longer period than until that date
when Mr.. Hanna takes UP his Office as
governor.

fur bearing animals been so plenti-
full as they are this year, and as the
result some of the local trappers are

Fred Newman has been trapping

he has not made a business Of it.
he has secured more than fifty
muskrat hides, three mink and two

Mink fur is much priced and is fast
becoming scarce in North Dakota.
Good mink hides are bringing the
trapper from Sc to $40. Fox and
skunk pelts command a good price
and are both becoming greater prizes
for the hunter. .

Fargo Trades & Labor assembly,
Wednesday evening proved a great
success and started off the New Year
most auspiciousIy. It was a turkey
supper that was prepared for the
members of the. labor assembly and
their ladies and though the attend

been anticipated, the affair was most
enjoyable - .'"
Preceding the banquet there. was
an extensive programme and in the
afternoon the union men and their
ladies kept open house in the halls,
which were beautifully decorated for
the occasion.
The programme opened with music
and a solo by Miss Horwitz which re-
ceived hearty applause.
Following this Rev. J. NJ Walters of
the First M. e. church gave a short
talk which covered a number of sub
jects Of vital interest in the labor
world.
He spoke of the true christian spirit
that should prevail between man and
man and refuted the charge hat the
laboring men did not attend church,
He said that in proportion to numbers
the laboring men attended church as

nation depended upon the workers.
Mr.. Walters is fortunate in enjoying
the respect and esteem of the majori-
ty of the working men Of the city and
his address was listened to very at
tentively and at times was loudly ap-
plauded. d.
Atty. A. T. Cole was the other
speaker of the evening and he start

told of needed legislation and what

for the near future a place where

find a home and advice until a jot
was secured.
He spoke briefly on the recent trial
at Indianapolis and showed where the
remarks of the presiding judge during
the trial were ~prejudicial to the pris-
oners and owing to the fact that al
were tried together, it was likely thai
grave injustice had been done to some
of the defendants: while undoubtedly

evening and after t~ransacting the

elected business agent of the council
for the next six months. Mr.. Lee has
held this position the past season and

in all the building trades line were
never better.
Building operations will continue
active for a time at least and promise
to be resumed at a very early date the

now in sight but what points to a very

Kreader received a letter yesterday
morning from DR.. Labadie, of Little
folk, Mimi, inquiring about a strang-
er who had died there from pneu-
monia without even giving his name
or from where he hailed. He had
evidently been working in the lumber
camps and had in, his pocket a box
scription filled at Kreader's drug
store and signed by DR.. Saylor. The
records show the mans name. to- be
A. E. Mintz, and the prescription he
had filled here was for a skin disease.
No one here remembers the man and
he was evidently here but a short
time. The prescription was filled on

Attorney Cole has a practice among
what he is pleased to call the common
people whom Abraham Lincoln said
God loved because he made so nan
of them, and Cole knows their needs
as we'll as any man in the city does.
After the speaking all adjourned to
the east hall where a very elaborate
banquet had been set. The union men,
their wives and families did ample
justice to this and a cheerful social
time was had.
On motion Sec. Walter r. Lee was
chosen POSTMASTER and he called on
many of the union men present for
remarks, and in most every case the
man called upon responded.
These toastS covered the entire field
Of labor problems in the city and
brought. out. the facts that 1912 was
a highly successful year for labor in
this city; that new unions had been
formed and old ones strengthened;
that the best of feeling prevailed be-
tween the employers and the en-
ployed and that all were eagerly look
ing forward to 1918 as another u &C.
ceSSful year.. ---
President Strom of the assembly
told of the first few New Year meet
ings, which took the form of smokers,
and stated hat the progress made
in labor conditions could be, traced by
the success of these gatherings-and
that the present one was the best
aver held.
Secretary Lee also talked along this
line and said that the year 1912 was a
red letter one in labor circles in Far
go and that all were looking to 1913
to be even better. There is much tc
be pleased in the deeds accomplish
ed and in those promised. 49, .
Taken altogether it was a highly
successful affair and it was a credit
to the union men of the city that such
an affair was held.
Good union cigars finished the
evening and these were donated by
the dealers for this occasion.
