FIRE LOSSES Of
STATE REPORTED
Runge's Statement Shows
Damage of Over Million
and a Quarter.

Bismarck, N. D.. Dec. 9.-Statistics
which have been issued by Fire Mar
shal Runse in his first annual report
snow that during his term of office,
practically a year. there has been a
fire damage in the state TO the amount
of s1,241,1a4.sO. The buildings and
contents in these various places were
insured to the amount of $2,659,297,
but the report does not show how
value of the buildings and cohtents is
placed in the report at $2,722,761.
This is the first year the depart
ment has been in existence and it is
very probable that more detailed and
more complete reports will be avail
able when the next period is COM
pleted.
Mr. Runge also calls attention to
the law requiring that all school
houses shall be equipped with proper
f1re escapes. stating that the law went
into effect March 1. 1913, and gave
all boards of education six months in
which to comply. He states that the
department has found several viola
tions of the law and has given notice
in each case that the statues must be
complied with, following this with a.
warning that u second violation will
be prosecuted to the full extent of
the law.
Mr.. Runge and his deputies are
kept busy OH the road most of the
time, either looking into supposed in
cendiary fires or engaged in improv-
ing conditions where fire risks are too
large on account of the conditions
to exist in some places. In a
number of towns they have con-
demned and torn down buildings
which We're menace to the public
safety. Letters are received daily
calling attention to some such condi-
ton as this.

Chicago, Dec. 9.-Stories Of police
graft told here before a grand jury
by c. T. C"Barney") Bertsche. king of
the clalrvoyant trust. and some of his
associates probably will result in the
indictment of thirty members of Chi
cagos police force. Among those
who have already been indicted as a
result of the clairvoyant's disclosures
are Captain John j. Halpin. Lieute-
nant John H.. Tobin and Detectives
William Egan and John Dempsey.
Bertsche's story is the most as
founding thing have heard in years"
said District Attorney Maclay Moyne.
VINO is in charge of he grand jury
investigation. He has been dealing
with the police for years and what he
told the present grand jury is only
next grand jury will hear more, and
expect further indictments"
Bertsche in his story to the grand
jury told of an agreement he had en-
tered into with. Captain Halpin and
Lieutenant Tobin, both recently of the
detective bureau, by which a certain
sum was to be paid each month FOR
the protection of Frank Ryan, who
last week made a. statement concern
TO the police In order that he and
his brother might go along with their
clairvoyant business. without moies-
tation by the police.
Bertsche talked freely when he
left the grand Jury room, and said
that even the members Of the panel
listened to him in awe-stricken ST.

They tried to make Rosenthsl

Bertsche continued. They thought

DESCRIBE JOSEPH.
AS RIGHT HEALTHY
Emperor, According to Vi
emma Communication, new
er Felt Better.

Vienna, Dec. 9.-Emperor Francis
Joseph Of Austria is described in semi
official communications sent to the VI
emma newspapers as enjoying partcu-
larly good health. His appetite is stat
ed to he excellent and so far he has
escaped the catarrhal: attack which
so often comes at this season of the
year. Every day at noon he walks in
the private garden at, Ichoenbrun and
his step is said to be as firm and elas-
tic as ever.
Rising at the usual early hour, a&
4 o'clock. his majesty begins his ordi.
nary daily work. He receives until Q
o'clock. any members of the imperial
family who may desire audiences, and
after that hour come the court OFF,
cials and perhaps cabinet minister
OF two. ...,...,..
One Of the most frequent visitors
these days is General Krobatin, tho
minister of war, who comes with n
staff officer laden with plans showing
the latest developments in the vari-
GUS theaters of war. These plans are
complete even to the smallest detail
and are designed to give the monarch
almost as much information as though
he actually were with the headquar-
ters staff The study Of these plans
frequently consumes two or more
hours.
After his walk in the garden and a
light midday meal. the emperor re-
sumes work again until o'clock. As
q rule he gives no audiences in the
afternoon. unless perhaps to Count
Bercthold, the foreign minister, or to
Baron Bolfras, chief OF the military
cabinet.

MORE POWER IS
BOARDS HOPE
Ask Legislature to Extend
Their Scope of Activities
Over Elevators.

bismarck. y. d.. Dec. AT the
coming session of the legislature the
railroad commissioners will ask for
the enactment of a law that will give
them more power over elevator conf
panieS, so far as an examination of
the books and business of the con-
Germs is concerned. 1t is said that
under the present law it is doubtful
if the commission can, of it's own in
itiativc, examine the books of a grain
company when 1t has reason to believe
that the company is in financial dis
treSs or insolvent nr n probability en-
lists that ii may become so.
What the commission wants is q
law that will allow them to go in and
examine the books of any of the COM
panies without giving notice to the
officers. At the present time the COM
panies are exempt from an eXamina-
ton except upon their petitions or il
the concern is corporation, upon the
petition of Ii per cent of the stock
holders There have been few cases
this past year when if an examination
had been made much trouble to the
commission and some loss to the GUS
toners of the concern would have
been saved.
lhe commission VIII also ask that
a law be passed to bring the gas,
electric light and power companies
under their supervision.
One other change in the laws that
will be asked by the commission is
that the term OF office he changed,
by constitutional amendment. from
two years to six, thus making it possi-
BILE to elect one commissioner at each
election and obviate the possibility Of
having an entirely new board at one
time. which could happen under the
present conditions of election every
two years.

WAR TAX CAUSES i.
INCREASE IN FEE

Bismarck. N. D.. Dec 9.-Live stock
brands that formerly cost 81 will now
stand the stockrnan $2.10 on account
of the war tax. 1t is necessary to affix
ten cent revenue stamp to the live
stock brand certificate and as the law
requires that the state shall receive
50 for each brand, there is no other
way than for the applicant to send the
$2.10 at the time he makes application
for a brand. 1t is likely that the office
of commissioner of agriculture and
labor will be up against a lot of trou-
BILE on account Of this ruling as many
of the. people who are using stock
brands and many make application at
this time of the year live far from the
centers Of information and may not
know of the new requirements in
