mistress of Rugby by President Taft
upon the Recommendation Of Senator
a. j. Gronna. has created somewhat
OF Il sensation IN this city. Senator

is attempting to block the conirma-
ton OF the appointment in the United
States senate, and several protests
against such confirmation have been
sent to him.
For n time the position has been
the plum for which an interesting
fight has been waged. Mrs. Bickford's
name was not mentioned during the
campaign, and the announcements; Of
her appointment came as a complete
surprise. 1t is generally understood
that Mr.. Bickford and Senator Gronna
are close personal friends. and that
fact was responsible for her nomtna-
ton to succeed Thomas B. Hurry,
whose term expires March /.
Senator McCumber, according to
the local version Of the situation. is
attempting to have the appointment
held up until s11ter President Taft goes
out Of Office. thus bringing about the
appointment of a democrat to the po-
sitiUn.
Mr.. Bickford quit the office Of state

on rates Tor electric light. power. Or
neat viii he made by the Consumers
Power company.
The Information is contained i'll q
letter received ~ II. L. Brandt. local
copies Of which are sent by him TO H.
l.. Haivorson. president OF the board
Of city commissioners. and j. S. Fiat
land, chairman of the Commercial
club committee on light rates.
The letter gives the following an
alysis of the present condition of the
company IN Aiinot.
The Investment in plant. etc.
amounts to s530,S32. Interest on this
orally admitted the company is en-
titled would amount TO s53.0S3 per
year. The yearly depreciation Of the
plant is figured at s26,542 per year.,
making a total OF $19.625 for inter-
est and depreciation.
The total net earnings Of the COM
pany for 1912, however, amounted to
only s42,99o. Charging off the de-
probation there IS left for interest the
the investment at the rate of only 81
per cent.
Taking these facts into considera-
ton the letter from the management
OF. the company states that the COM
pany goes not feel that it can afford
to make any reduction in light rates
at present.
The letter also says that while the
city commissioners have the. power
to investigate the rate question and to
fix rates as they may see fit. the COM
pany officials believe that il the ques-
ton We're ever brought before tho
courts the company would be allowed
to charge even higher rates than are
charged at present.

Secretary Of State now COM
PEELED to Handle Affairs
Out Of His Scope.
MAKE
A RESPONSIBLE
Licensing Of Warehouses,
Filing Of Plats Of Railway
Extensions, Involved.
Chimes Special service.)

Bismarck. n. d.. Feb. 3.-When the
legislative assembly reconNenes Iues-
day it is understood that a number OF
corrective measures will be introduce
ed, looking to the Strengthening u
and simplitications of the business IN
the office of secretary OF state.
Under the present law the secretary
OF state issues licenses TO railway
ticket agents. and it is proposed that
the law be changed So as to make il
the duty of the board of railroad COM
missioners to issue these licenses.
Under the present laws licenses for
warehouses arc issued by the railroad
commissioners, the secretary OF state
and the governor. The railroad COM
missioncrs license elevators and grain
warehouses. The secretary of state
issues licenses to commission and pro-
duce merchants, and the governor is
sues licenses to warehouse doing a
general storage business. 1t is pro-
posed to have the laws So amended
as TO make it the duty of the board OF
railroad commissioners to issue Ii
censes to all warehouses ana commlS-
sion merchants.
Extension Plans in WIOn. Place.
Railway companies seeking to en-
tend their lines i'll this state. are re-
Quired to file their plats and the re-
cording of the proceeds of h rail
roads board OF directors i'll the office
of the secretary of state. 1t is pro-
posed that the law be SO amended as
to provide that these papers be hled
with the board of railroad commits
sioners instead of With the secretary
of state.
Cash Handling Method Faulty.
The legislative assembly of ISL
enacted a license law which requires
the secretary Of state to collect the
fee of three dollars (s3.00) and TO pro-
vide the tags. and to pay all expenses
incident I the registering OF auto
mobiles out of the funds SD collected,
after which the money is to be ap-
portioned back to the counties from
which the fees were paid. There has
been much criticism Of his method OF
handling state funds, and it is pro-
posed that the law be amended this
year so as TO require the secretary OF
state to collect the fee and 10 turn
it over to the state treasury. and that
h expenses incident to the issuing
Of the corporation record be paid OUT
of the general fund. rather then as
the law now provides. requiring the
secretary OF state top ay all OF the
expenses inciden to the recording of
these reports. and turning INFO the
treasury the funds after al! expenses
have been paid at the end of the year.
The new secretary of state. Thomas
Hall. is active in proposing these cor
receive measures and it is thought that
the legislative assembly will come TO
his assistance,

SLEEPING IN A PULLMAN CAR.

We are encouraged by the fact that the Chicago and Eastern Illinois Rail- road has adopted, and the Railway Age Gazette has discussed, regulations in tended to prevent much of the noise which now makes a railway sleeping" coach a travesty. The railroad named has been characterized the nOiseless route" The Railway Age Gazette doubtingIy remarks that the regula tions will be maintained with great difficulty, but it may be taken as step in advance that one railroad com pany has formally recognized the uni- Versal annoyance of unnecessary noises in railway traffic. We are not so un- reasonable as to expect an engine fire man always to hold his steam in check so to prevent explosions of the pop valve, and we realize that the changing
 of an engine bell is necessary in the
 absence of a less primitive warning signal, but in nine cases out of ten the
 bell need not be rung continuously while passing a line of sleeping coaches of an occupied train on par alIel track, and an engine need not be stationed for considerable time right
 at the ears of passengers who have
 paid high prices for the privilege of
 occupying sleeping" car. And the
 arrival at a station in dead of night of
 a solid vestibuled train, with curtains
 drawn. lights low and passengers sleep
 ing, need not be the occasion of an
 onslaught by torch h-bearing demons
 racing about the train, shouting at
 each other, hammering and resounding
 wheels with sledges and throwing
 heavy trunks about the platform, while
 the coaches are battered against each
 other as so many freight cars, in the
 process of making up the train. If
 any passenger is not immediately
 awakened his case will be provided for
 by an altercatiOn in a coach aisle be-
 tween the conductor and a newly ar
 rived passenger regarding a berth. If
 competition in railrOading ever be-
 comes brisk enough to warrant the inn
 provements suggested, the travelling
 public will look back upon present con ditiOns as on a nightmare.

 Judge Sawtelle asked the prosecu- ton if another interpreter could not be secured, and MT. Morrison re- piled that Santana, who had filled this office in the other trial, was busy with a gang of two hundred Indians in the cotton fields near Mesa. and had sent Valenzuela, his broth-in-laW to take his place. As an employee of the government, San t:iIna cannot receive compensation for acting as an interpreter, explained Marshal Overlook.

 Following the selection of a jury, which consumed the entire forenoon and part of the afternoon session, the prosecution began setting its
 documentary evidence in shape. Ac- counts current, vouchers, checks, sal ary lists and such official papers were introduced The court admitted cer- tified copies of the appointment ot James B. Alexander as superintendent 1 Of the Pima Indian training school | in 1903, of the order designating him as special disbursinS agent and no- | tice of his bond. The defense ad- nlitted so being appointed and so designated.
