resisting flames. The building had no
sprinkler system. That was taken out
when the building was converted into
a club house"
Former Building Commissioner
Smith after personally inspecting the
club house several years ago ordered
the board of governors to put i'll two
fire stairWays.
The governors objected" said
Smith, Saying that to do so would
ruin the lobby of the club. I cited
them into court. The club had good
friends at court and the judge was in
clined to compromise. After an in
determinable Wrangle 1 succeeded in
getting the club to put in a proper
fire stair, enclosed in concrete, with
correct fire doors on each floor
Il found the egresses into one of the
fire escapes opened into bedrooms. i
ordered the doors of these rooms TAX

was, might easily be reached in case

years. I was harrassed at every step
and compromises"
Edward Bornmueller, secretary OF
the club said the members often had
discussed the danger Of fire.
Still we could not jump into the
street." he said. I'VE had to stay
somewhere and We expected no such
tragedy as this. The building was
provided with enough fire escapes, we
thought, as well as hose reels, fire
buckets and extinguishers"

London, March 10.-May Richard
son. q. notorious militant suffragette,
did great damage to the famous We
Iasquez painting, known as "Rokeby
Venus which hung in the National
gallery at Trafalgar square. The pic
ture was purchased for $225,000 in
1906. Art experts estimate its pres
ent market value at half a million
dollars.
Miss Richardson entered the gallery
anobseryed and slashed the picture
with "a long, sharp knife, making sew
en- bad cuts across the canvas before
she was stopped and disarmed. She
was arrested.
She is the one who, at Bristol, July
4, last, dropped a scroll Of paper on
the knees of King George as he was
driving through the city. She has
served several prison terms.
After her arrest, Miss Richardson
said:
tried to destroy the picture Of the
most beautiful woman in mythology
cal history as a protest against the
government for destroying Mrs. Em-
incline Pankhurst who is the most
beautiful character in modern his-
tory.

MRS, PANkHURST
ARRESTED AGAIN.

Glasgow. Scotland, March TO-
Bands OF determined militant suf-
fragettes waited at all railway
stations in Glasgow in readiness
to fight for the rescue Of Mrs.
Enmeline Pankhurst, who was
arrested last night. while speaking
in the street at Andrews hall. The
police, however, outwitted the
nlilitants. Mrs. Pankhurst was
removed quietly from the police
station, being carried from her
cell to g. waiting automobile on a
stretcher.
The automobile then dashed off
at high speed to an outlying sub
urban station, on the main rail-
road line, where Mrs. Pankhurst
was placed aboard limited train
for London. 1t is assumed that the
militant leader will be again plac-
ed in Holloway Jail.

moved to that state in the last few
months.
The late Mr.. Hagen's brother is
Otto Hagen of Hickson, Wis. All have
been notified of the tragedy.
Until recent years Mr.. Hagen's par-
ents were living in Norway, but death
removed both in the last two years.
Mr.. Hagen came to Fargo in 1873
and entered the jeWelry business with
Mr.. Houghton, who established the
present business now known under
the firm name of Hagen Newton.
Mr.. Hagen succeeded Mr.. Houghton.
Several years ago he retired from his
greater business activities and r. B.
Newton became the active head of
the concern.
The funeral arrangements will be
announced later. The shocking news
startled the whole city today. Every
one was sorry to learn of his sudden
and tragic end.
For the last few months Mr.. Hagen
had been suffering from q nervous
maladv and it is thought that it prey
ed so upon his mind that he felt that
death would be the only relief.

WATER ACRE YIELDS
$4,000 IN 3 YEARS

McGregor, Ia, March 10. If an
acre Of Mississippi valley land produces
$1,000 in three years it is heralded as
noteworthy achievement. What of
an acre Of Mississippi river water
which has produced $4,000. or ten
times as much, in the same length Of
time?
In February. 1911, Adolph Larson
and Fred Worth, McGregor fishermen,
caught in a single haul under the ice
$1,000 pounds of buffalo fish which
they sold for $4,000. Feb. 20, 1918 they
made a haul of 1900 pounds of buf-
falo in the same acre of water and
sold it for $4,000. This year they
guarded night and day $4,000 pounds
tured under the ice. The lot sold for
9 to 10 cents a pound live weight or
about $4,000. For the three hauls this
gives an aggregate of 10000 pounds
of fish which brought the two fisher
men $4,000. .-

Wortil's Landing seven miles north Of
McGregor. a long sand bar projects
from an island into the main channel.
Behind this the waters back up and a
quiet sheltered place is afforded fish.
There are a. good, many such natural
hold-ups in the Mississippi and fire.
quent large catches of channel fish are
made in them. No hauls. however,
have equaled in size the three which
Mr.. Larson and Mr.. Worth have made,
nor have the fish ever congregated in
any other hold-up with the same an
nual regularity. ,.>
1t Is the nature Of the buffaloes,, the
fishermen say, to bunch together in the
fall and remain inert in great masses
in the deep. waters of the main chan
mel through the winter months. Along
the last of February they begin to
move" swimming. slowly in. a. great
circle. Leaving the channel they in
variably seek sheltered place above
a sandbar, there to remain until the
ice melts. The fishermen, knowing
this buffalo characteristic and learning
