Must Provide Three Extra Rooms.

The school board has quite prob
lem to solve in arranging for addi-
tional room for the pupils. The
schools are more crowded this year
than ever before and it will be neces-
sary to secure three additional rooms
at once. The basement Of the public
library may be utilized, as we'll as the
front rooms Of the commercial club.
Unless this is done, in some of the
rooms, pupils will attend school but
half day. Minot will soon have to
construct another school building.

Albany. N. Y. Dec 27.-For fourteen
years under both republican and dem
| ocrattc administrations. workers on
section ends of the Erie canal have
been forced to pay political assess
menfss Harry Bogue testified before
Gov. Glynn's investigation commits
sioner today.
Us there any way TO stop this prac-
tce." Commissioner Osborne asked.
NO" Bogue replied. 1.-THE men have
soft Jobs and they are willing to give
up part Of their wages"
Bogue, clerk on the canal for four
teen years. told today of his aid in
collecting campaign funds during 1912.
This money, he said, he turned over
70 owen Keerney, superintendent of
the section. who distributed it to va
rious democratic organizations.
Bogue testified that the workers con-
trtbutions were taken from the pay
envelopes before they were distributed
In 1911 Bogue declared, the various
foreman made collections from their
employees. Regardless whether the
republicans or democrats were In
power, collections always went to the
canal section superintendent. CoIlec-
tons usually began five months be-
fore election and continued until cleo
ton day. Bogue said.
Harry Holsapple. a special agent OF
the state department OF public works,
the next witness, told of collecting as
SSSSA1GnIS alO turning the proceeds
over to Division Superintendent Will
liam Robinson at Schenectady. The
practice had been followed for at least
eighteen years, he said. HoIsapple is
a republican. His collections extended
from Albany to Utica, he testified
During the administration OF Gov.
Hughes the collections were made in
different manner" Holsapple de-
clared. Then, instead of various Of
fcials collecting the money. the work
men would all come to Albany and
leave their contributions in a little
room in the department OF public
works"
Commissioner Osborne made the
open statement that he was willing to
stake his life that Governor Hughes
knew nothing OF the practice"
that during 1912 he received a total
of $1,15o from the canal workmsn. This
he turned over to Arthur A. Mclean,
treasurer OF the democratic committee.
In 1911 Robinson said he collected
$500 and turned 1t over to Mclean.
He explained that the amount as
sessed on the individual workman
was suggested by political leaders IN
the various sections OF the state.
Cross examined by John A. Hen
messy, Gov. Suffers chief graft in
vestigator, Robinson, declared he was
interested in q coal company which
sold coal to the state. HennesSy de-
clared that 1t was q criminal offense
for state employe to have such bust
ness connections.
HennesSy also brought out that
and turned It over to democratic and
progressive state committeeman. The
witness could not recall how much he
collected.

INVESTMENT.
NEW YORK COTTON MARKET.
New Orleans Futures.

New Orleans, La. Dec 27.-Week-
end covering OF the short interest to-
day supported the cotton market on
the opening. The demand was met by
scanty offerings and first prices were
at rise OF to points
TIE first call was fairly active,
buying orders having accumulated
with the commission houses over
night. After the call little fresh busi-
ness came in and trading became pro-
fessional In character. Some nquida-
ton Of long cotton was seen because
of fear OF large January tenders early
next week in the New York market
but this selling was not heavy enough
to cause any weakness. The first hsif
hour OF trading put prices to IL
points over yesterdays close.
The market had g.. very good under
tone throughout the session, withA de-
cided show of strength IN the final
hour OF trading. The demand was
almost wholly from the short side,
bulls making no effort to press their
advantage. The ring was remarkably
quiet. even when the advance amount
ed to a dollar q bale.
A feature OF the morning was the
report that the interior were holding
spots very firmly. kilograms from Bev-
eral points stated that farmers who
had hauled cotton to town had carted
bales back home again when they
could not realize prices they asked.
This helped stiffen values.
At their highest. prices were - to
~ points over yesterdays last quo
tations. The close was at a net gain
of ~ 20 % points on steady tone.

that was not paid by the receiver of
