A Band, A MOVE IN
The RIGHT DIRECTION

1t is a noted fact that Valley City
has a great number of young men
who should be members of band.
They have the ability and with lit
tie exertion of their part could organ
ize themselves into one of the finest
military bands in the state. Along in
the summer we are to have band
tournament at the Chautauqua
grounds during the next assembly and
it is estimated there will be several
hundred band men here at that time.
There will be contests and prizes CIV
en- not only for the old organizations
but to new bands as well. To new be-
ginners, as it were, and here is where
the boys of Valley City can make a
winning. They can do it if they only
try. All it needs is little beginning.
To this end about twenty young fell
lows have already expressed them
selves as anxious to become members
and if others will give us their names
we will outline a plan that will win
out. 1t has been suggested that a
meeting be called for s o'clock Tues
day night of next week, Feb. 9, at the
City Hall. Those who want to be.
come members of a new beginners
band kindly hand in their names to D.
w. Clark or be present at the meet

Chief Officials Testify That
Matter Was Given Serious
Consideration.

Bismarck, N. D., Feb. 8.-The com-
mittee having in charge the investiga-
ton into the charges laid against the
board of control held a session Satur-
day according to tehir adjournment Of
Thursday. The members of the emer-
gency board were on the carpet and
were asked as to their action in auth
orizing the board of control to make
the changes in the placing OF the mon
ey that was due. Governor Hanna,
Secretary of State Tom Hall and State
Auditor Jorgenson were on the wit
ness stand and all testified that they
had given the matter serious consid-
GRAFTON before authorizing the change
There was no hasty action taken, but
it was had under consideration for
three or four months before final &C.
ton was taken. A great mass of re-
ports and figures were read into the
record during the day, including the
report of the special committee from
the house and the senate that went to
jamestown to look into the needs of
the institution.
There is no question but that the
board of control secured proper auth
ority to carry out the work as it was
finally done, but from appearances
and the line of questioning carried out
it appears to the observer that ther7
is going to be an effort made, on the
part of Knauff, Buck and Siler, to
show that the board of control did not
present all the facts to the emer-
gency board and that had they done so
the emergency board would not hav7
taken such action as they did.
I The committee having the investiga-
ton in charge will leave for James
town Wednesday morning and will
, spend the afternoon looking over tho
grounds and the buildings and making
such Investigations as they deem nee
essary. On Thursday morning num-
Der of witnesses will be called in be-
fore the board and the probe contin-
ued for at least a day and probably
| longer at Jamestown.

something or somebody just little
more attractive in Valley City on Sun

bill through the judiciary committee
to indefinite postponement and Mr.. d.
vet came back with the statement that
the author of the bill had made mis-
leading statements as the character OF
the bill before the judiciary commit
tee. Mr.. Williams plead with the
house to re-refer the bill to the COM
mittee on taxes and tax laws where
as he stated, it would have a fair
chance. When the motion to re-refer
was put to a vote it was declared lost
and a call for a rising vote did not
change the condition Of affairs. 1t is
probable that the last of this bill has
not been heard yet.
Many Communication Received.
There were so many communica-
lions received by the house that it was
decided not to read them but to have
them all printed in the journal that
the members might have them today
for perusal. There were number OBJ
jecting to the repeal of the teachers
insurance and retirement fund bill be
repealed, some favoring state hail in
surance under the compulsory plan, a
few favoring the location of termin-
al elevator outside and the state and
state owned, some favoring womans
suffrage and a few asking that modern
languages be taught in the common
schools of the state.

One of the big features of the bin
is the employment of an educational
expert who is to act as the agent in
dealing with the institutions to study
their needs, their work as carried out
and to suggest such changes as he
deems for the best interests of the
state and the institutions. The fol-
lowing section provides that:

pert To Be Employed.


Bismarck, N. D., Jan. 6.-The house
committee on education will probably
introduce a bill Monday which would
place all educational institutions un-
der board of regent consisting of I'VE
members. 1t has the unanimous sup
port of the appropriations and educa-
tional committee of both the house
and the senate and appears to be al
must sure Of passage just as it has
been introduced, with tho exception
that there may be some riinor dc-alls
that it will be necessary to change
on account of differences of opinion
among the members but there is no
inclination apparent in either the
house or the senate to oppose the ultl'
mate object of the measure. The new
board will take charge of affairs on
July l this year and the board is to
be appointed by the governor subject
to the approval of the senate.
The qualifications of the members
of the board are set forth in the bill
and are as follows:
The state board of regents shall
consist of five members, all of whom
shall be qualified electors and tax pay
ers of the state, appointed for their
fitness and ability to efficiently serve
the people of the state in such capa1
city, and one member Of such board
shall be resident Of each congress
ional district within the state, as now
established. No more than one per-
son who is an alumnus of any Of the
institutions under the control of such
board shall be member thereof at
the same time, and any person who
has been connected with any of such
institutions, either as member OF
any board of control of normal school
or board of trustees or an instructor
shall be eligible to appointment as a
member of such board within two
years after such connections with
such institutions has been terminal
ed"
The member shall be appointed two

and one for term of six years from
July /, 1915 and the appointments
thereafter shall be made for terms OF
six years each. No salaries are to be
allowed, per diem of 81 and expens'
es being the remuneration allowed.
The board is to be organized on
the first Tuesday in July at Bismar *
and the board will then elect presi
dent and secretary the latter to have
a salary of $500 per year.
In competency, neglect of duty, i'm
morality, malfeasance in office or 9th
er good cause shall give the governor
the right to remove any member OF
the board. Bonds to the extent Of
$4,000 will be required from each
member of the board and an Office is
to be established at the state capital

MOTOR BUS AWARD DELAYED.
Fifth Ave. Coach Co. Raises New
Technical Point.

After argument between counsel rep
resenting the New York Motor Bus Com
pan and the Fifth Avenue Coach Com
Ing yesterday the Board OF Estimate de-
cided to refer 10 the Corporation Coun-
sci the question AS to the legality of ad-
vertlsing a contract for motor bus fran
chises before the board had formally de-
cided that there should be an extension
of motor bus routes.
The bureau OF franchises had recon-
mended to the boards franchise commit
tee that The bids OF the New York Motor
Bus Company to operate OF certain
streets ~ accepted. The question of
whether or not the Board of Estimate
should adopt the report OF its franchise
committee has been argued and reargued
and the Fifth avenue which
was the unsuccessful bidder, has pre-
scented a substitute Offer IN which aigu-
ment also has been heard.
When o decision seemed about to be
made the PETERBOROUGH. whi'h owns

II was agreed that the Corporation
Counsel should give an opinion before
