SAY MELLEN
TOLD truth
Two Former New Haven Officials
-. are i'!.. Examined q, hy Y !, Joseph Folk
In New York.

New York, May 27-George F. Ba-
ker, one of the chief powers of Wall
street affairs and regarded as the
closest personal friend of the late J.
Pierpont Morgan, and therefore be-
lieved to know the details of many
transactions of Morgan's firm in con.
nection with the New Haven railroad
affairs, today underwent an examina-
ton by Solicitor Joseph Folk, of the
interstate commerce commission, pre-
liminary to appearing on the witness
stand at Washington.
William Skinner, who has been
closely identified with the affairs of
the New Haven for years, was also
examined.
Would Not Discuss Matter.
Although Folk would not discuss
the testimony, it was learned from
an authoritive source that Baker
and Skinner corroborated the story of
Charles S. Mellen, former president
of the New Haven, when he appeared
at the commissions hearing at
Washington, in so far as it concerned
their own individual actions. Folk
came here purely to obtain the Nor.
gan company's books for examination
of the New Haven affairs.

able in view of the fact that in 1900
South Dakota was approximately 100
900 in the lead. BY 1910 North Dako-
ia was within 5000 of the state to the
south, and now we lead by $500. The
figures are especially significant as
showing that the state is continuing
its remarkable increase in the way
of population that was so prominently
shown by the last census report.
North Dakota cities also show q
substantial growth as far as reported.
The census gives only cities having
more than 10000 population and in
this class Grand Forks leads the
state in gain in population. The total
population of the city as estimated by
the census bureau is 1883, a gain of
2,941 in four years.

IS PARDON
SOUGHT FOR
B|CKlEORD?
RUM0R THAT PETITION HAS
BEEN SIGNED; WILL BE
PRESENTED TO BOARD.
MEETING ON MONDAY next
Attorney Who Was In Case Be-
lieves The Pspers Are All Ready
lIa. ao File.

There :is'a report that a pardon will
be asked for ex.State Treasurer G. L..
Bickford, when the board meets at
the, capitol, Monday.
i much ! Speculation Rife.
This phase "of the matter has been
discussed quite thoroughly among the
people Of, Bismarck and other sec.
tions of the state. Color is lent to
this by the remarks of a Bismarck at
torney Wednesday morning, when dis
cussing the recent decision Of the
supreme court, which was published
In the Tribune Tuesday morning.
The attorney was at one time inter-
ested in the case. when it was first
started, and has kept in close touch
with its movements since.
Petition Has Been Circulated.
He stated that some kind of pc
tion had been circulated, asking that
the convicted ex-treasurer be pardon
ed at the meeting Of the pardon
board. Also, he intimated that this
last appeal to the supreme court,
while wishing to test the points in

L .Bickford more time in which I'd
make and have his petition ready for
the meeting of the pardon board, sd
If he had to 90 to the penitentiary
at all he would have every wheel in
motion to secure his liberty so soon
as possible.
Must Enter Pen. :
G. L. Eickford will have to become
in actuality what the court has de-
cided, convict. There he must serve
one or more days before any aet*of
the pardon board can set him free.
Presumption is that during the week
Mr.. Bickford will come to- the city
and enter upon his term of from one
to three years. Then II his petition
is acted upon favorably he will the
more quickly secure his release from
confinement and step out into the
world free man.
officials Profess Ignorance Of Petition
There seems to be utter ignorance
on the part of the officials of any
attempt to secure a pardon. What
ever merits his petition will have
must be weighed at the board meet
ing, and his chances for liberty
hinge upon the recommendations of
the trial court and the prosecuting
attorneys.

The jury in the CourierINews suit
between DR.. l.. T. Guild and A. Y.

for the plaintiff on every point. "The
case will be appealed" stated Mr..

believe the jury tried to do it's duty
in every way, feel the matter is

Silver and Gold Laces.

Silver and gold laces, woven with
an extremely open mesh and showing
large flower designs, are favored for
trimming the evening frocks of the
more expensive class.
Tassels of silk or beads of unusually
large proportions appear on suits, aft
ernoon frocks and evening costumes.
The latter are adorned with handsome
white silk tassels.
Buckles play an important part in
trimming the pretty frocks. They are
jeweled with brilliants or colored
stones and enameled in designs which
suggest the dainty dresden china pat
terms. Other buckles are embroidered
with heavy silk or braid, or fashioned
of silk III odd design.

place to holder treatments.
And as for the taffetas-all that the
designers promised of them has been

been so lovely. Delightful things that
were never thought of in the old days
of this material are accomplished, and
it's popularit. is increasing every day.
The silks themselves are so beaut1-
full that even moderate amount OF in
genuity is sufficient to transform them
into ravishing frocks, suits, or hats, or
coats, for they are put to many pur-
poses. No other fabric lends itself with
such grace to unique trimming effects

If modern pottery is used, it is we'll

BABYs NEEDS IN SUMMER
Lightness of Clothing is One of the
First Requisites During the Hot
Weather.

Warm weather is dangerous pc
Rod for children, and all mothers
dread the summer for their little ones
AS the weather grows warmer and
warmer, fewer and lighter clothes
should be worn by the baby. So
many mothers have mistaken idea
that flannel bands must be kept
around baby's abdomen, next to the
skin, no matter what the weather.
The treatment is not only wrong, but
actually cruel.
To keep flannel next to the young
sensitive skin when the weather is so
hot that every turn of the little body
against the flannel causes severe IT.
ritation is almost barbarous. Yet how
many mothers believe in it! There
are fewer each year, for which we
should be grateful, but still there are
left a large enough number of such
deluded mothers to keep great many
babies in comparative torture during
the summer time.
The little body should feel nothing
but the sheerest, softest materials
next to it. When it is very hot the
young baby may be totally undressed,
except for his little shirt. During the
hottest hours of the day the little one
should be placed on wide BED
dressed in this garb, or rather lack
of garb, and allowed to play or sleep
until the sun is setting.

mately 10000 cases OF typhoid fever,
with approximately 3,87S deaths; but
there were only 173 deaths from ty-
phoid fever in Chicago in 1912, hence g
probable saving of 3,705 lives for the
city in that year
Obviously this demonstrates what
may be done In the prevention of dis
ease. If we are as intelligent as we
assume ourselves to be, and there Is
not something fundamentally and rad
ically wrong with our entire system OF
doing things, why this difference in
the same period between Europe, or
even the city of Chicago, and the to-

of the United States? And what about
the non-registration area? Good health
and long life can be purchased; why
do we not buy it?

Shortening Black Frock.

To brighten and smarter a black
frock in satin or crepe de chine, there
is nothing equal to golden-colored ma
terial on the collar, the cuffs and the
sash end. Depending entirely upon
the age of woman and the occasion
for which she needs the frock, these
golden touches must be applied. The
collar, the cuffs and the sash end may
be wholly of gold lace yelling cloth Of
gold; the satin or crepe may have gold

Quaker Gray Best Garb for Hostess
Who Will Personally Walt

After luncheon or before, if the gen

on the luncheon table, she will change
to an afternoon dress. This can be
black, if it is preferred, or it can be
of any light color. The very newest
thing is Quaker gray. The correct
afternoon apron is short and bibbed
and there must be collar, cuffs and
headpiece to match the apron. The
smartest thing is to have apron, cuffs,
collar and headpiece made Of white
cable net. Black ribbon about two
inches wide is run through the belt of
the apron and tied at the back of the
waist.
