4s. aasE LIZ III ~
MINERS TAKE REFERENDUM
BALLOTS ON ROCKEFELLER
INDUSTRIAL PLAN.

Denver, Col, Oct. 4.-The directors
of the Colorado Fuel and Iron COM
pany today accepted on behalf Of the
company the Rockefeller Industrial
plan. At the same time, at half dozen
or more camps Of the company in
Southern Colorado, referendum votes
were being taken by the miners. Of
fcials of the company believe that the
result of the miners ballot will be
overwhelmingly in favor of the plan of
cooperative meditation, sponsored by
John D. Rockefeller, Jr.
Rumors that Governor Carlson was
on the point of ordering dismissal of
most of the criminal cases growing
out of the coal miners strike Of 1913
IA were current today in circles close
to the state administration.
Mr.. Rockefeller called on the gov
ernor and talked over with him the
general industrial situation. Both the
governor and Mr.. Rockefeller denied
that the latter had suggested that any
of the strike cases be dropped. Gov
ernor Carlson stated that he had not
yet decided whether or not to instruct
the attorney general to dismiss any o,
all of the cases.

Join 7 COAL RATE
DECIDED UPON
RAILROAD BOARD DECIDES UP
ON 80 PER CENT OF TWO LO-
CAL RATES.
G. N. DIRECTED TO OBEY ORDER.
MUST RESUME THE PASSENGER
SERVICE ON THE LAKOTA-SAR-
LES LINE.

The North Dakota railroad and
warehouse commission, in session this
morning, adopted the Glass c. joint
rate for Ignite coal, and according to
members of the board, this satisfies
the complaints made at Burlington,
N. D.
The Class c rate is 80 per cent of
the two local rates. The rate is made
effective from Sept. 4, and the ship
pers are entitled to refunds from that
time, the board ruled.
The board also directed the Great
Northern to carry out the order call
ing for resumption Of passenger
service on the Lakota- -Sarles line. The
board ordered the road to resume such
service on Aug. l, but it did not do so.
A number of representatives from var
ious places On that line appeared be-
fore the board yesterday asking for a
renewal of the service.
The board decided to grant the pc
tition Of the Great Northern for a
change in the name of Watford, but
the place will in no way lose its iden-
tity by the change, as it was decided
to call it Watford City. The change
will not become effective until April
1. This will give the business men Of
Watford chance to reorganize under
| the new name.
Agents were ordered installed at
Cartright, in Mckenzie county, on the
Great Northern and at Griffin in Bow.
man county. on the Milwaukee. The
agents are to be installed by Nov. /.
Other routine matters were disposed
of at yesterday afternoons and this

people of Devils Lake and vicinity will
happen tonight when the Grand roller
rink opens at 1880 p. m. Manager
Percy Miller has been about the bus
lest individual in the Lake Region the
past two weeks getting the skates in
condition. When one stops to figure
every skate had to be gone over six
times and then give them final bath
in gasoline (and there are about 500
skates), one can realize what a job it
is. The skating floor has been entire
ly resurfaced, making it one of the fin
est in the country. The rink is being
beautifully decorated and lighted.
The music will be furnished by a
"piano-orchestra" costing $4,000. An
other Innovation will be cushion se:-ts-
in fact this is the only roller skating
Jrink in America to have cushion
seats Taken all in all the roller rink

aces that could be desired.
Admission will be free on the open
ing night. Wardrobe will cost &c and
skates 15c.

MINNEAPOLIS
STAYS WET
GREAT BATTLE OF VOTES GIVES
: THE "WETS" A MAJORITY OF
OVER 5000.

The election to decide whether Hen
nepin county, Minnesota, would abol-
ish the saloon took place Monday last,
and was one of the hottest elections
ever seen in Minnesota. Charges are
made that several thousand illegal
votes were cast The whiskey ele-
ment won out by majority of over
5000. For weeks there has been a
house to house campaign going on and
speakers galore had eypounded their
doctrines for and against the saloon.
This will settle the matter for another
year at least, and the money that
might go for some better purpose will
find it's way into the pockets of the
brewers and saloon keepers.

SEEK To CLOSE
WINNIPEG BARS
SOCIAL SERVICE LEAGUE MAKE
DEMAND ON THE NORRIS Gov
ERNMENT.

Winnipeg, Man., Oct. 4.-The fight
to suspend all liquor licenses in Win
hipeg for the balance of the fall and
winter, with the war as an excuse for
such step, will reach its climax eth
er today or tomorrow, when officers of
the Manitoba Social Service council
will present their petition to officers
of the Manitoba government.
The removal of liquor is being
sought on several pleas, one of these
being the fact that between 5000 and
10000 Canadian soldiers will be billet
ed in Winnepeg during the entire win
ter season, and that the temptation to
drink should be removed from them.
A test of public opinion will come
late this week when a mass meeting
of citizens will be held. At that time
thorough discussion of the situation is
anticipated, and the Social Service
League is hopeful of securing endorses
ment for it's movement.
The petition prepared for presenta-
ton to the Norris cabinet, proposes
the abolishment Of the bars in the in
terest Of economy and temperance
declaring the wartime needs such that
they demand this action,
Should the league succeed in this
movement, it probably would mean
the closing of bars in Winnipeg for all
time, as the province will, next March
vote on the question of general pro-
hibition. Success for that election
would close all saloons Immediately;
For the purpose of conducting their
campaign, Manitoba drys have started
faising fund of $4,000. They antic-
ipate this will be sufficient to promote
the work. The campaign will be made
effective, especially on Winnipeg, by
a series of mass meetings that will
extend throughout the winter period
Work in the rcral provinces will be
delayed till after Christmas. -.

BOLD H0lDUP IN
HOTEL WESTERN
GUNMAN DEMANDS CASH, BUT
GETS LESS THAN FIFTY CENTS

Tuesday night or early Wednesday
morning while night clerk Tucker of
the Western Hotel was quietly taking
a little rest on one of the tables or
desks in the office he heard a voice
say, "don't get up, and on glancing up
he faced dangerous looking gun in
the hands of holdup artist, and was
told to open the safe. Mr.. Tucker re-
Piled that he would have to see the
boss if he wanted the safe opened as
he knew nothing Of, the combination.
The fellow then proceeded to go thru
the cash register, still keeping the gun
on Mr.. Tucker, but as the money had
been removed from the register and
placed in the safe after No. 1 arrived
in the evening, the artist secured only
few nickels. There was another
young lad who was acting as bell hop
| in the office at the time but he remain
ed very quiet until the burg lar had
left. The police were notified at once
a fair description given but. he had
evidently made good his escape, and
up to this time has not been arrested
Had the fellow been a little more
thoughtful and taken time to search
Mr.. Tucker he woud probably gotten
about $40 which he had on his person
at the time.

Grand Forks, and J. F. T. O'Connor,
of Grand Forks to further the move
|ment.
Ed. Richter was elected state mana
|ger, and G. w. Graves was made sec
retary-treasurer.
The plan of gigantic proportions
will require a great deal Of work dur
ing the next few weeks.
That the state will reap splendid
benefits from the movement is the
concensus of opinion of all those to
whom the plan has been explained
and hearty support of the project is
certain.
Governor Will Aid.
Governor Hanna will be asked to
give official recognition to the move
ment by proclaiming the week Of No
vember IA as Booster Week." and no
doubt the request will be granted.
The governors proclamation prob
ably will extend the spirit Of the week
to the schools and into every walk Of

It will be great week for North
Dakota and the dividends accruing
from the effort put forth by the citi-
zens Of the state doubtless will be
manifold.

SEN. N 'CUMBER
HERE SUNDAY

U. S. Senator P. J. McCumber and
his private secretary R. Fares, were
the guests of friends in the city over
Sunday. Senator McCumber will be
a candidate for reelection next year,
and is taking the opportunity of trav-
cling over the state to meet as many
people as he can. During the past
number of years the Senator has been
SO busy with his official duties down at
Washington that he has had practi-
cally no time to spend in the state.
Nearly every year there has been an
extra session of Congress during the
summer or the regular term continued
so long that he was compelled to
spend his summers in the capitol, and
therefore has had no chance to meet
his constituents for some time. The
senator has many friends here, who
paid their respects. to him during his
stay.

FREIGHT TRAIN
LEAVES RAILS
BEDLAM BREAKS LOOSE WHEN
STOCK CAR IS WRECKED ONE
HOG KILLED.

The big compound engine Of an
east-bound Great Northern freight
train, together with the tender and a
loaded stock car, left the rails after
passing over the bridge near the uni
versity at 4:30 o'clock yesterday after
noon, and nearly plunged into large
crowd of students assembled near by
watching the observation-disclosures
contests.
The tracks were torn up for a dis
tance of over 100 feet. The engine
and tender remained upright, but the
stock rar rolled over on it's side.
In the stock car were hogs and
sheep, the swine being on the lower
floor of the car and the sheep in the
upper compartment. The only casulty
was the death of a hog, which was
! killed in the accident.
Bedlam prevailed when the car left
the rails, the squeals and shrieks o1
the animals being heard for a consid.
cradle distance.
The university students were at
tracted to the scene, and they assisted
in extricating the hogs and sheer
which were jammed one on top of thu
other like sardines.
A hole was cut in the side Of tn,
car and the imprisoned noise-maker,
given succor. Only one hog wa!
found dead, although some of the ami
mails suffered serious injuries. Gran,
