Council Considers Question
at Meeting Held Monday
Evening.

The Grand Forks city council at its
meeting last night discussed the uueS-
tions of purchasing motor driven
fire truck and an automobile for the
use. Of the police department, the
board of health and other city Off
cials.
The question Of purchasing an au-
tomobile was referred to the ways and
means committee for investigation
Five hundred dollars have been ap-
propriated for that purpose, and the
committee undoubtedly will ask for
bids.
The fire truck question was brought
up when the fire department submit-
ted an inquiry as to whether the
chief should purchase another fire
team. One of the fire horses is i'll and
not expected to live.
Some of the members of the coun-
Gil thought that instead of purchasing
horses, the department ought to be
provided with a motor-driven truck.
The question was discussed at some
length, and at the conclusion Of the
debate it was quite apparent that such
truck would be purchased before
long.
The light committee submitted pc
titions for street arc lights at the in
tersection Of Fourth street and Wood
land avenue and at the intersection
Of Second street and International av7
enue. The council granted the prayer
of the petitioners and ordered the
lights put up.

Ed Coopman Contracted the
Disease Through Infection
Caused by Splinter.

Ed. Coopman, q Minnesota Point
resident, who has been suffering with
tetanus and lockjaw for the past two
weeks, is recovering rapidly and 1t Is
expected that he will be able to leave
the hospital in couple of days.
Coopman contracted the disease
through an infection in q finger, caus-
ed by a small silver. He did not at
tend to the slight incision caused by
the silver and within a few days the
dread symptoms of tetanus were seen.
His condition was critical for some
days and it took all the skill Of medi-
cal science to pull him through.

COTTON MADE TO RESIST FIRE.

A cheap method of making cotton
permanently as resistant to fire as is
wool is being sought by inventors and
makers of cotton garments. Cotton
clothing can be made fireproof by be-
ing dipped in solution of ammonium
phosphate, and dried. The treatment
has to be repeated after every wash
ing, but it is estimated that this
would add only fifteen cents a week
to the laundry expenses of the aver
age family.
But apart from the fact that there
are thousands of families which can
not afford to spend even an additional
fifteen cents a week, the bother is too
great and the risk from fire too re-
mote to make the system practica BILE.
Efforts are being made in some quar-
ters to induce mothers to apply the
treatment to the clothing of young
children, but even the most ardent

ty and the other was from Cavalier.
Therein lies the reason for the re-
1usal of u license in this city.
The North Dakota law says that
the license must be issued in the coun-
ty in which one of the contracting
parties resides. Some believe-and
there seem to be many of them, for
they appear, often at the Grand Forks
county court house-that the license
can be taken out in any part Of the
state. The license must be issued,
however, in the county in which either
the lady or the man resides, but the
ceremony can be performed in any
part of the state.
The couple from Towner were not
to be denied, however.

What Unions Do

No person need feel ashamed of hold
ing paidup union card or due book.
No class of society or organization or
philanthropist has done as much for the
common people as the labor unions.
Philanthropists build home for the
working men and women after they
have left the home of their parents.
Unions are making the home fireside fit
for sons and daughters-to remain in the
true home--that of their parents-by
increasing wages SO that the father can
support his family and make the home
what It should be. Philanthropists build
libraries while unions shorten hours of
labor to give the workingmen time to
read the books.
Unions shorten hours OF labor to place

An Appeal to Everyone.

Editor Denver Labor Bulletin:
Dear Sir-No man now employed, no
matter how secure his job may seem,
is immune. The very conditions faced
by these men seeking work today may
be faced tomorrow by any or every en-
ployed man in America
TheTe is no stability in employment
For this reason our movement must ap.
peal 10 not only those unfortunate men
without work. but to those men who
feel secure. The men who deem them
selves safe from disaster may be among
the suffering before the sun rises to-
morrow Their imagined security should
not tempt them TO overlook the need of
a great social awakening and readjust-
ment IN some OF the great cities. The
city takes the labor of these men for
a mere nothing for city improvement
work, taking advantage of their misfor-
tunes. Tor which society and not they
are responsible. These men are bruised
and beaten by society, by the same So
ciety that makes the conditions which
crush them and puts them with the
unemployed.
When these men are picked up by the
police for petty offenses against socie
tvs code, society, demands of them at
tribution of competency and education
Society calls for the attributes OF com
potency and education; when both edu-
cation and training for competency have
been withheld by society il is injustice
As man is treated by society he rises
or falls. II he is abused, despised and
degraded by society he sinks to brutal
ity; if he is cherished honored and re-
spected he becomes ambitious for es-
teen and aspires to excel in those at
tributes that commend him to his fell
lows. We feel the whole matter is one
of education. of clear seeing and sane
acting. and that these qualities will lead
us into the light.
have gotten almost to the point
where l feel it is of no use trying to
coax these plunderers of labor. 1 feel
that the time will-come when we must
take them by the throat. figuratively
speaking. and shake the plunder from
them II we can't get redress and JUS
ticc otherwise, that must come

in opportunity: there is abundance for

tion and fairness of distribution.
Men know what they have to suffer;
what they do suffer. We need not tell
them. What we want is remedy. We
must insist that production and distri-
button Of wealth be public; no private,
social labor. The labor of all produces
the finished product, and the profit on
the finished product goes not to the
many who produce but TO the few who
control. Ability to produce should be the
only measure of our freedom to con-
sumo The big trusts today limit pro-
duction and increase the cost of all prod
ucts to consumers. This brings misery
and Unemployment, poverty and suffer-
ing TO thousands OF the innocent. The
crime is not theirs, though theirs is the
suffering.

Longmont. Colo, Dec. e.-Develop-
ment of clew unearthed by police
man eliminated Friday in the arrest
Of Renzie C. Dickens. q son of William
H. Dickens. the wealthy Longmont
banker and merchant assassinated
last Tuesday night, on a charge OF be-
ing his fathers slayer. Dickens was
taken into custody at the close of his
fathers funeral, as 9 result of evil
dence gathered by the authorities and
which District Attorney Fleming an
nounced would be the basis OF formal
charges OF murder against Dickens.
Dickens maintains he Is innocent
but refuses to discuss the charges
against him. The purchase of q
high-powered gun in Denver by the ac-
cused man furnished basis for the
collection Of evidence against Dickens
which the police characterize as Gin.
eliminating The gun was purchased
q month ago from Denver hardware
company. Payment was made with
part cash and check on Longmont
bank. The purchaser later obtained
"silencer" and this Information fol-
lowing the staying Of the Longmont
banker was given by a clerk Of the
store to Patrolman E. Z. McKinnon.
McKinnon In turn inforped the police
department and search for the gun
and silencer was made about Renxie
Dickens home. e.
Various parts were located IN his
garage, together with . box Of cart
ridges, five shells Of which we're found
missing. When first questioned, the
son Of the murdered man. according
to the police, denied having ever
possessed q high-powered gun. When
confronted with the parts picked up
by the police he admitted he had pur-
chased the gun. the authorities say.
The stock OF the gun was found with
the box Of cartridges behind q trunk
in the rear OF Renzie's home, the.
silencer on the top Of rafter in his
garage. The barrel Of the gun was
found In q barn block away.
Asked II he had fired the weapon.
the police say he replied Five times,
Rensie's debit, according to rumors.
q
range between $35. 900 and $40. 900 and
q motive for the shooting Of the elder
Dickens Is claimed by the police In
the hopes Of inheriting his wealth at
an early date.
That It was the intention Of the
slayer to kill the elder Dickens and
his wife with one shot. is the belief
Of the police.
The bullet was fired, It was found.
from point where the aged banker
and his wife were in straight line.
Evidence to support the theory ID
further strengthened. say the police
BY the fact that Mrs. Dickens. who
was seated across the table at which
her husband was shot through the
back. was srased by the bullet.

The postal service estimate is do
ductable from the total because its re-
ceipts are turned back to tho treas
ury. That leaves $969,4s2.929 as the
actual total Of appropriations Con-
gress il asked to make. or $167 1885,
4o1 more than last year.
Not q single establishment Of the
government asked for less than was
given last year. Many requests were
made for increases because Of devel-
opments Of the war in Europe.
The administration's estimate Of
military and naval expenditures. In
Guiding the first years cost OF the
new national defense program, asks
for $152,354,259 for the army and
$s11,5ls.Q74 for the navy.
For the two branches the increase
asked over the appropriations last
year is about $4,000, ,000. exclusive of
the amounts for Notifications and
other items which may he included in
q general scheme Of military defense.
The entire plan calls for something
over $3.50 0,000, 900 In excess Of the last
appropriations.
