LARGE
PETITION
FILED

At meeting Of the city commission
held this morning, a large petition was
nled asking the city commissioners to
relnstated Fred Haeffner and James
M1i11gan, who were recently dismissed
from the Fargo police force on the
strength of an affidavit by G. H.
Knapp, stating that both officers had
taken drinks in his butchershop on
North Broadway where he confessed
to having sold Intoxicating liquors.
Officer Milligan was present at the
meeting Of the commission this morn
ing and there was also filed with the
board several aftidavits in which it
was stated that at no time had
Milligan taken drinks in the shop
while he was on duty. Milligan stat
ed that he had taken two drinks in
the Knapp shop, but that he did not
know that Knapp had the liquor for
sale and that he never took a drink
while on duty.
The petition and the affidavits were
received and placed on file and the
matter will be taken up at a meeting
Of the commission to be held tomorrow
morning, when City Atty, w. H.
Shure will advise the commission as
to the legal matters pertaining to the
petitions and affidavits.
Commissioner of Police Dahl was
asked by the commission If he had
any recommendations to make and
stated that he had not. He said that
ne dismissed the officers on the
strength of the G. H. Knapp affidavit,
and that he acted in good faith in the
performance, in what he believed to
be his duty. He said that he had no
recommendations to make to the COM
mission regarding the reinstatement
of the officers.
The affidavits filed were sworn to
by William II. Knapp and John A.
Knapp, sons of G. H. Knapp, both of
whom work in their fathers shop;
Alfred Aske, the driver for the Knapp
delivery wagon, and former officer
Milligan. All three of the employees
of the Knapp shop stated that they
had never seen Milligan take a drink
in the Knapp butchershop while he
was on duty.
In his statement to the commits
sioners Milligan stated that during
the cold weather he stopped in the
Knapp shop one morning after being
relieved from duty to get some meat,
and that he complained of being cold
and that Mr.. Knapp had asked him ii
he wanted drink. He stated that he
did and that Knapp had taken him in
to his Office and took a bottle from the
safe and that he (Milligan) had taken
a drink, and then gone on home. He

Pageant Greater Feature
Than Anticipated; Civic
Observance Is Success

Over thousand people of Moorhead
and Fargo witnessed the presentation
OF The Merchant Of Venice, Shakes
peare's greatest play. by the senior
class of the Moorhead normal school

ium. The comedy was staged under
the direction of Miss Hayes, to whom
much credit is due for the excellent
success Of the production. DR.. Sturges
directed the dancing and Mr.. Powers
the songs.
The Merchant OF Venice was one Of
the hardest plays the normal school
has ever produced but with the untir-
ing work OF the 100 characters and the
directors it was made one Of the great
est successes in the history of the
school. The large audience was held
almost spellbound during the five long
acts Of the play clearly showing the
intense interest in the students work.

OF REBELS

Dublin, May S.-The government is
making a rigorous examination into
all it's local departments with the OBJ
ject of purging them of rebels. The
Sim Fein insurrection has revealed
that many branches of the government
service, particularly the postoffice, have
been honeycombed with disloyalty.
Investigation thus far has uncovered
the case Of d high postoffice official
who lived in d house which had been
used as an arsenal by the rebels. A
large magazine of explosives, arms and
munitions was discovered in this house.

German Bank Business.

Berlin, May S.--The business Of the
Imperial Bank of Germany in 1915 was
chiefly to large transactions for gov
ernnent account. The turnover reach
ed the stupendous total of $231,550.000.-
GOO, which compares with $124,000,0 ,0o0.-
600 for 1914, and 100000 100000 for
1918. In other words, the business of
the bank has considerably more than
doubled since the war began.
The earnings were also far in excess
to Sos, 900, or more than twice those
of 1914. According to a law recently
PASSED. a special war tax was laid upon
the Imperial bank, lin addition to the
large proportion of the earnings fall
ing to the treasury under older laws.
Thus the treasury gets $47,500,00O Of
the earnings. whereas the stockholders
get only $3,840,000 or somewhat less
than for 1914,
