work unnecessary hardships on rail-
roads. w. S. Solner. a Northwestern
Pacific railway employment official
testified today before the federal in
dustrial relations committee.
The state housing commission
should have started with the iaborer
instead of the employers. he declared.
We have tried for years to induce
the worker to better his sanitary
condition, but generally he refuses to
do so.
THE men who try to keep clean
|are outnum5ered ten to one. 1t is
impossible to make many OF them
use baths Sixty per cent OF them are
afflicted with diseases which would
be spread If toilet facilities were pro-
vided. 49,.
THE provision that there shall he
500 cubic feet of air space per man
in the sleeping quarters is unrea-
sonable and unjust. 1t makes it pos
jsible to accommodate four men to a
box car. Such men do not want air
at night. The first thing they do on
entering car is to nail up all OF
the windows and stuff up the cracks.
They get all the air they want in the
day time. 1t is unfair to put them
in class with indoor workers.

AMERICAN MAY

{ POPE At
ROME

Rome, Aug. 3l.-tvia Paris 1890
a. m. 1.-THE conclave Of the cardi-
mails TO, elect successor to Pope Plus
X. who died August 90. was inaugu-
rated tkAay with, imposing ceremony.
Mass was celebrated in the Pauline
chapel IN the presence OF 81 cardi-
nails and their conclavists. There
were rksent also members OF the dip
lomatic corps. the Knight OF Malta
and the aristocracy of the papal
tcourt, which for the first time since
August 20. appeared without their
mourning dress. t..r
The Sistine choir sang the middle
mass and Monsignor Massellaba de-
l1ivered in Latin an oration concern
Ing the election of a pontiff.
ROME, Aug. 3l.-The old Roman
proverb that the man entertaining
the Conclave expecting to be Pope al
ways leaves as a Cardinal, is being
recalled as the College Of Cardinals
assemblies to choose successor to
the late Plus X.
The Patriarch OF Venice himself
neither sought nor expected the cleo
tion in 1903. and his successor may
quite as likely be found outside those
who have been most talked of as the
next pope.
That he will be an Italian has been
regarded as almost certainty, for
the state of affairs throughout Eu-
rope is said to make, 1t more desire

| should not part from its traditions.
But there is, from the American side.
a possibility that the tradition might
! still be maintained and at the same
time an American citizen be elevated
to St. Peters throne. This would be
! in the case of the election of Diomede
Falconio, Iatlian by birth. who was
for many years missionary in
America and then Papal delegate to
the United States. and who became q
naturalized American citizen during
his residence abroad.
Cardinal Falconio is, however. on
ly one of several logical candidates
and only one of many possibilities.
F. There Is little doubt II any author
ization for specializing on the chanc-
es of the many candidates. Follow
ing are some of the names that have
been mentioned, with brief biograoh-
ical data:L ....
Cardinal Serafino Vannutelli. the
dean of the Sacred College. was born
a year earlier than the late Pope, but
at eighty he is still young In years
in comparison with a number of his
colleagues. In reality, however, he
has aged greatly since 1908, when he
was talked OF as successor of Pope
Leo XIII. Today he is almost blind,
stone deaf. and in such low state
of health generally that he has been
hess seriously discussed at the pres
ent time.
The Vannutelli family is the only
one which has two members in the
Cardinnlate. Vincent Vannutelli a

THIS is THE MARK SET BY GEO.
b. IRVING AND HIS MINOT
Observation-Disclosures WORK
STARTS TO-DAY.

A thousand paid memberships to
the Minot Commercial club, this is the
mark set by Geo. B. Irving of Chicago,
who is here for weeks campaign for
better Minot. Mr.. Irving and his
assistants will very likely reach this
mark.
At largely attended meeting held
at the Commercial club rooms Tues
day night, following a supper, Halyor
L. Halvorson, former president Of the
city commission, outlined the plan. He
said that plans were made to divide
the total membership Of the club into
1000 units at S12 per membership, or
just half what the dues per year for
merly amounted to. Committees have
arranged a schedule of memberships,
each business house to take so many
of them, giving them to their en-
ployes or dividing them among the
farmers, for the Minot businessmen
and farmers are going to work more
in unison. Providing thousand mem
berships can be secured, $4,000 will
have been raised and this in addition
to paying all of the expenses Of the
club, will provide a budget from
which all public donations will be
made. Anyone soliciting funds will
be sent to the Commercial club COM
mittee handling the money and if the
proposition is a worthy one, an
amount that can be afforded will be
given. This plan will not only give
us a strong commercial club, capable
of battling with Minot's intricate
problems, but will actually save the
business men of Minot hundreds of
dollars annually. A secretary, one
who can deliver the goods, will be Sc
lected and he will be given a good sal
airy, from $500 to .s240O a year. The
total expenses of running the Com
mercial club will amount to about

1000 MEMBERSHIP TO THE
N|NOT COMMERCIAL CLUB

$4,000 year and this will leave $4,000
in the budget.
Twenty-Five committees comprising
two each have been secured, and
these started work this morning. Won
derful results have already been at
tanned. The whistles have been blow
ing fast and furious all day long. The
whistles of the city have been toot-
ing every time ten new members have
been secured. No one will be over
looked. Great enthusiasm has been
aroused. The businessmen of Minot
never before had such an awakening.
Mr.. Irving outlined his plan at
noon day gathering at the Commercial
club Monday, following a luncheon.
The meeting was attended by $50 of
the businessmen of Minot. Eight or
ten had been deputized and the new
fire auto truck was taken out onto the
streets and loaded down with business
men as they stepped from their stores.
The club rooms were filled within
few moments.
Mr.. Irving told the business men of
Minot some plain truths. He has
great faith in Minot's future, but says
we have some rivals. New Rockford
to the east he declared is our greatest
rival. Grand Forks is still ahead of
us, but if we are alive, we are certain
to eclipse that city within few years.
Grand Forks has a splendid CONNER
ciai club, employing three stenogra-
piers, who are busy sending out lit
erature continually. We have got to
go after new business enterprises
the same as the larger cities do. We
have the Ignite fields here, which are
capable of producing the cheapest
electric power in the world. He paint
ed picture of Minot with electric
lines running in every direction. Bus
mess is undergoing a great revolu
ton. The big cities are growing big
ger at the expense Of the smaller
towns. People from other towns want
to come here in their autos and on the
trains to enjoy themselves and to shop.
Minot has great chance. The mod
ern way Of being selfish is by bene-
fitting ourselves thru organization.
Irving is a spell binder and held the
attention of the men for an hour.

WARDEN is BLAMED.
HelIstrom Accused Of Freeing hctori-
Gus Murderer Without Due
Authority.

Fargo.--North Dakota has another
sensation over Joseph 4. Remington,
former life prisoner in the state peni-
Tertiary for premeditated murder.
The assertion is made that he was il
legally liberated by former Warden
Hellssrom.
Remington began to serve his life
sentence Dec. %, 1891. On Dec. 2,
1911, the state board of pardons COM
muted his sentence to thirty years.
The state law provides for good time
deductions from the sentence Of pri-
soners. but specifically and for obvious
reasons exempts "lifers."
Freed Years Too Soon.
Under the terms of Communication
Remington's sentence would have ex-
pired Dec. q, 1921. He was given his
liberty by Warden HelIstrom Dec. %,
1912, or nine years earlier.
Under no theory could any good
time allowance have been computed
prior to Dec. 2, the date of the COM
mutation. Under good behavior Rem
ington might have earned between
three and four years good time the last
decade Of his t~rm. The earliest pos
sible moment o1 his Liberation with
perfect behavior would have been be-
tween 1918 and 1919.
Would Re-arrest Remington.
Friends of Flett, the murdered man.,
are enraged over the discovery OF
Hellstrom's action. They were in
censed at the comnutation, but their
feelings now are intensified
The authority under which the war
den acted was an official notice from
the clerk of the pardon board of the
thirty-year Communication. Evidently he
arbitrarily computed the good time al
loWance from the date of Remington's
sentence, instead Of from the commu-
tation. His act under Sec. 1886 OF
the Revised Codes of 1905, was clearly
Illegal.
Friends of Flett are planning to
cause the re-arrest of Remington that
he may serve the remainder Of his SEN
tence and are also interviewing attor-
neys to learn what kind Of action they
may prefer against the former warden.
Remington, Immediately after his lib
GRAFTON, thirteen months ago. hurriedly
left the state. Later 1t was announced
he had clerical position under an
assumed name in Minneapolis.
Crime Extremely Brutal.
The crime for which he was SEN
fenced was extremely brutal and it's
generalization was it's most striking
feature. F'lett, his victim, was an ele-
vator agent at Arthur In this county
and Remington knew he carried large
sums Of money. Coming to Fargo
Remington secured team and went
to Arthur, where he hid in the loft.
For hours he waited for his victim and
when Flett finally arrived he crawled
into the loft, where Remington waited.
to get some hay, Remington then beat
in his skull, took his money and fed
to Minneapolis. Later he was arrest
ed In Wisconsin.
