St. Paul, Mimi, April 24.-George S
Lotus Of the Equity Cooperative eS
change tonight gave out The followin!
statement concerning the suit iled a
Fargo:
press dispatches from Fargo, n
D., announce that E. S. Hughes, as
sistant secretary Of the chamber O.
commerce OF Minneapolis, and Others
associated with the chamber have fur
nished information in a lawsuit filed
at Fargo against the Equity. The
charges published are: =,
"lt's a-Lie," He Says.
"a That the Equity is not conduct.
ing it's business under the terms OF
it's charter. This is untrue; il this
charge refers to the construction OF
terminal elevator, the Equity was
given that right under it's charter.
(2) That the, Equity is conducting
a scheme to defraud the public. This
is absolutely false. If it were true,
our license would be Cancelled, and we
are under $4,000 bond to serve
shippers in North Dakota, Minnesota
and Wisconsin. a."
CD That the Equity has been max
ing fraudulent returns to shippers
This is absolutely false.
(4) That the Equity has made or.
roneous financial reports. The reports
which the Equity has made have been
certified to by public accountants OF
good standing.
Is extra MiddIeman."
!. (5) Another allegation is, the Equ
ty claimed to be a direct selling ageE
cy. to nliilers and Others without the
service of middlemen, when, as mat
ter OF fact, the organization is an ex
ira middleman. The Equity does sell
direct without unnecessary middle
men; that's what's causing the trou
BILE.
(6) 1t is also alleged that the Equi
ty has no special facilities for, MAX
ing sales as claimed. Such sales are
being constantly made .,.
1T is alleged that the Equity is in
solvent. This is another false state
ment. The Equity has 10000 in St
Paul banks and owes nobody dollar
ut should be noted that the two
men who filed the affidavits are both
members of the chamber of coul.

Foul Play.

Grand Forks, April 23.-Owen BIZ
shaw. aged 20, agent for the Singer
Sewing Machine Company in this city
has been missing since last Tuesday
morning, and his sister, Mrs. E. Meag-
her, 1909 North. Faurth Street, fears
that he has met woth foul play. BIZ
shaw was last seen Tuesday morning
playing cards in an East Grand Forks
pool room.
Mrs. Meagner says that she had Civ,
en- Bushaw a check to cash for her
the morning that he was last seen and
that he must have had over 500 in
currency on his person as a result
Inquiry at the office of the Singer
Sewing Machine company showed
that Rushaw was not behind in his
accounts in any way, and there ap-
pears to have been no motive for his
voluntary disappearance.
Owing to the fact that he had such
a large sum of money with him at the
time he disappeared it is feared that
he may have been attacked or robbed.

cred in 1880 there has been a steady
decrease in mortality. The death rate
in 1850 was 326 per 100 900 population.

These figures were included In an ad-
dress by DR.. George NJ. kober OF WASH

tional Association for the Study and
Prevention of tuberculosis to-day.
Or. Kober, who is president OF tho
association, said that the number OF VIC

about 100000 consumptives in the
United States. which represented an
economic hss of at least $2l4,5Oo,oOO
AS preventives Of the spread OF the
fatal disease Or. Kober urged that all

that dust and fumes be eliminatsd from
