Coldwell stood by while a husky

Coldwell opened a personal letter
addressed to one of the pioneers

Coldwell fred thirteen men from
the institution within fifteen months

discharged in eighteen months es-
tablished by his predecessor.

to purchase clothes with money they
procure from friends.
John II. Mahoney. a discharg-
ed engineer of the home was the
first witness called to the stand. \
humorous situation was created
when Mr.. Mahoney turned to At
torney Russell and replied to the
latter's question:
Yes, I helped circulate that pc
tition submitted with the charges
OF misconduct against Coldwell to
be forwarded to the Board of Con
troll. What's more, you yourself
was the fifth signer of that petit
ton"
Mr.. Russell admitted that he had
signed the petition calling for the
investigation but did not indicate
that he did so for professional rea-
sons. Mr.. Russell, however, want
ed to know whether Mr. Mahoney
would care to have divulged any
statements which had accompanied
his request for his signature at
that time The matter was dropped
That Coldwell was incompetent
and OF an excitable nature was tes-
tilted to by every pioneer who was
asked his reasons why he believed
Coldwcll wasn't the right man for
the job. One pioneer who was not
inclined to boast. said that Coldwell
was as competent for the job "a
he (the pioneer was OF taking
charge of heaven. Another thought
that Coldwell might be in his ele-
ment in the extreme to heaven rs a
band leader.
Mahoney also alleged that Cold

at giving expression to choice
collection OF obscene language abus-
ed the inmates OF the home, per-
mitted the matron to take away
supplies assigned to the home and
that he rarely spent any part OF
the daytime at the home.
You say, Mr.. Coldwell is incom-
petcnt. Then who keeps his ac-
counts" the witness was asked

low Wood" replied Mahoncy. Up
on further examination Mahoncy
declared that the Wood referred to
was Homer Wood, senator from
Havapai County.
Mahoney declared that he was
termed 'trorble-makcr" when he
reported to Coldwell that he had
seen the matron carrying away sup
plies from the home. Later his dis
charge was given him.
Coldwcll's temperament together
with his love for Messrs. Osborn
and Hunt OF the Board Of Control
was rather wildly described by
James i, Sheridan, the pioneer who
appears TO be the leading spirit in
the revolt and who drew up the
charges and petition submitted to
the Board of Control looking to-
ward 10 an investigation.
"Onc day Coldwcll came into the

a document in his hand. Spying

Coldwell went to extremes with
ten year old girl.
Coldwell, over sixty years of age
pracGced the art and the wiles of
a young beau among sources where
he was not only suspected but told
to keep away.
Coldwell is incompetent; cannot
keep his own accounts and has no
managerial ability.
Coldweli possesses a fine collec-
ton of obscene language which he
literally distributes within earshot
of the pioneers at frequent inter
walls.
Coldwell is deeply detested by the
pioneers and in turn the pioneers
are deeply detested by Coldwell;
causing a rather peculiar and IN
desirable situation.
There exists a spirit of discomfort
What is deemed the greatest SEN
sation unfolded during the first day
of the Coldwell investigation was
produced when Agnes and Alice
Coates, twelve and ten years old,
respectively, testified to the gravest
immoral actions of Coldwell short
ly after his arrival here. Agnes and
Alice were but two members of a
party of five young girls playing
underneath the Granite street bridge
one day when Coldwell strolled
along.
CoIdwell made himself solid" in

Grand Forks Is one of twenty y-hve
leading cities in the United States that
have shown an increase in business
during the past year. j.
Out Of the 12S foremost cities, IN
which conditions were investigated,
only twenty-five showed an increase,
and this city is among the list.
The United States has been divided
into thirteen sections, lettered' from A
to n, for investigation purposes. and,
out of, this number. only one section
has shown a business increase: This
IS the middle northwest section, In
which Grand Forks is located:
The eleven cities named in this Sec
tion are: Aberdeen, S. D.; Billings,
Mont; Des Moines. Iowa: Duluth,
Mimi: Grand Forks and Fargo, N. d.:
Helena. Mont: Houghton, Mich;
Sioux Fallsf1 S. D., and st. Paul, MINI.
These statements were secured
from the directors of the local Com
mercial club. The directorate has just
made a study Of business conditions
throughout the country, and their
statements are based on the reports
of the United States Chamber of Com
merce and other statistical and COM
mercial organizations.
OF the eleven cities named above,
one reports business conditions as the
same as last year, two report a de-
crease and eight report an increase.
All of the business in this. section
shows an increase Of ten per cent, and
it is the only section in the United
States that has made such a show

St. Paul. Mimi, Dec. 1.-THE net
presidential campaign will be a repe-
tition of that of 1896. marking the
overthrow of the Democratic party
and the resumption of control by the
Republicans. in the opinion of Orms-
by McHarg of New York, formerly Of
Jamestown, \. D.. one Of Theodore
Roosevelt's campaign managers in the
1912 campaign. -.
Mr.. McHarg arrived in st. Paul yes
terday, and will remain here several
days, he said. studying the business
situation, to obtain further knowledge
in view of the coming presidential
campaign, of which the skirmishing
will begin after the first of the year.
AN example Of the disaster
wrought by the democrats is given by
the tariff and the reserve bank sys-
tem," Mr.. McHarg said.

The Progressive party now Is his
tory" declared Mr.. McHarg. but
O live one.
'Mr. Roosevelt still is a very vital
factor in politics. and, to make sue
cessful fight against the Democrats.
the Republicans must choose as an
opponent of President Wilson a man
who never has been extensively antag-
onistic to Roosevelt.
by SO doing they will win the Pro.
gressives, for the Bull Mouscrs know
take q choice Of two evils. A man
favorable to Roosevelt would be the
more acceptable to them.

Washington. Dec. 11.-Andrew Car
negie, a White House caller, today ex-
pressed decided opposition to truce
in Europe during the Christmas holi-
days. He declared that it would be
unchristian like and immoral to stop
fighting and then begin 1t again. He
added that he could not believe any
nation which adopted such suggestion
was doing it sincerely.
Carnegie. after attending a meeting
of the Carnegie institution. walked
to and from the White House
through a snowstorm.
President Wilson was golting and
Carnegie said he probably would re-
turn to pay his respects. He praised
Wilson's efforts in behalf of peace.
Carnegie gave it as his opinion that
the military caste in Germany is re-
sponsible for the war. but that at the
time hostilities broke out the kaiser
was i'll, and opposed to war;
1.-THE kaiser has told me that he
took the greatest pride in the fact that
he reigned for many years without
being involved in war" said Carne-
gle, "but he was surrounded by ring
of militarists who we're eager for
war at any price"

Compared with other sections Of the
country. this section shows unusually
good business conditions. The war
has had little affect, and, according
to one of the leading financiers of the
country, there are easier money rates
and slightly improved collections. The
cold weather has improved retail trade
conditions.
This same financier, whose report
was sent the local directors, declares
that at present there is more real
cause for optimism than at any time
since the war started. He declares
that this winter cannot be as pros
porous as the winters Of 1912 and

indicate some Improvement.

London, Dec. 1.-THE re-

forces in Servia, the borders
of which country they cross

of Warsaw on this, the third

After occupying Lodz, the
Germans have been pushing
to the northeast toward
Warsaw, along the railroad.

capital, while another mes
sage from Petrograd, specu-

Warsaw, warns the Russian
people that the abandonment

becomes necessary, should
