other evils were more prevalent in

Bismarck, N. D.. JAM. 16.-The first
real contest to be staged upon the
floor of the house of representatives
during the present session OF the legis-
1ature was pulled of yesterday after
noon when house bill No. IL was before
the committee of the whole, il having
been reported out of the committee to
which it was referred with some
amendments.
This is what is known as the
graduated mortgage registration TAX"
and Is bill endorsed by the state tax
commission and introduced by Mr..
Burnett OF Trail county. The measure
was offered with the idea that it would
be a solution of the proposition to tax
mortgages and be sure that none
escaped and provides that the regis
tration tax must be paid when the
mortgage is filed with the register of
deeds.
The fireworks started when one of
the members wanted the author to ex-
plain the bill. MIR. Burnett outlined
the bill and Immediately there were a
number of members on their feet ask
ing who was to pay the tax, the man
who borrowed the money or the party
who was loaning it. This seemed to
be the principal feature of the debate,
and that 1t was not made clear to the
satisfaction of the house that the
money lender would have to pay the
tax, further consideration was deferred
until this afternoon when 1t will come
up under the head of general orders
again.

ARE PAID BY DRAFTS
STATE TREASURER SAYS NEW
SYSTEM is IMPROVEMENT.
State Funds Balance Totals More
Than 100000 Better Than
Last Year.

Madison.-State Treasurer Henry
Johnson found it necessary to sign his
name to nearly 1,100 drafts to meet
the payment of salaries to the regular
roster of state-house employees, game
wardens, state inspectors, circuit
judges and court reporters. But even
at that Mr.. Johnson said that the new
system of paying by draft was great
improvement over the old way, when
the employees lined up and spent half
day or more each waiting their turn at
the cashiers window. Under the new
system the work is cleared up without
annoyance and each department head
distributes the drafts to those under
him.
The regular pay roll on Nov. 1 in
cluded 935 drafts for $104,375.46.
These were for salaries alone, and did
not include expense claims of any
kind. Besides these there were drafts
for fifty-two oil inspectors, sixty-two
conservation wardens, twenty circuit
judges and as many court reporters,
making a total of 1889.
The condition of the treasury at the
opening of business on Nov. 1 was
more than 100000 better than on the
same date a year ago, the total bal
ance in all funds being $3,51S,941.82.
as compared with $2,994164.67 in 1914,
the exact difference being $524,87715
in favor of the 1915 balance.

27 Die IN SCHOOL FIRE
CHILDREN BURNED OR CRUSHED
IN MAD RUSH.
Three-Story Building of ST. Johns
Parochial School at Peabody,
Mass, Swept by Flames.

Peabody, Mass, Oct. 30.-Fire swept
through the three-story brick building
occupied by the st. Johns parochial
school, burning or driving to death in
the panic that followed the alarm
q of the 900 boys and girls who a
few minutes before had assembled for
their daily lessons on Thursday.
Twenty bodies have been recovered
from the ruins. Twelve of these bod
les were removed from the vestibule.
where the jam of terrified little ones
had resulted in the greatest loss of
life. Many others were injured in
their flight down the stairways and
few jumped from the windows of the
third floor.
The first alarm brought hundred
distracted mothers to the schoolyard,
where soon they were Joined by other
relatives of the pupils. until the build
ing was surrounded by a great crowd
Of hysterical men and women, who
rushed the police lines in a wild effort
to reach their children. The police
were powerless to stop the rush, but
what they failed to do was accom-
plished presently by the flames, which
shooting from the windows of the
building, held back the throng.
The students, who ranged in years
from seven to thirteen, were in
charge of Is sisters. When the fire
started the sisters marshaled their
charges for a fire drill and started
them from the building.
Suddenly there was a cry of fear
from one of the throng 1t was taken
up by a hundred Others. and panic
ensued. The smaller children fell
under the feet of those behind them,
and soon the vestibule was so damned
with living and dead that the f1remen
could not force an entrance. The 16
sisters escaped.
The origin of the fire remained in
doubt. Michael Dunn, who lives near
the school, said he heard a muf-
fed explosion.
A large percentage of the pupils
were children of foreign parentage. In
the number were many of Irish and
Italian descent.
