The lecture to be given by Mr..
Daniels Of Washington, d. c., to-
night at the auditorium promises to
be one of the most interesting lee
lures ever given in Fargo.
What is the cause and meaning Of
| this world war;" is the subject which
is agitating the minds of the people
as no other subject ever has.
This lecture has been drawing audi
ences in the big cities that have filled
large halls, and many times large
numbers have been turned away for
want of room.
Mr.. Daniels has repeatedly visited
the nations now at war, and has
secured valuable facts at first hand.
| He has also taken many photographs
| in the warning nations, which he will
| throw on the screen at the auditorium
| tonight.
1t is said that one feature OF the
| lecture of special interest is the story
| of the sinking Of the Embden Mr..
Daniels saw the fight between the
Sydney and the Embden. AS a result
of ninety minutes of shot and shell the
Embden was wrecked. Mr.. Daniels
took photographs of the sinking Emb-
den which will be thrown on the screen
tonight.
Having spent fourteen years on the
islands and sixteen years as chairman
of the missionary board operating in
1T different languages, the speaker
has had a wide experience which tends
to make the lecture all the more inter-
esting.
He is perhaps the most Travelled
clergyman of the day and is not only
a globe-trotter, but a wide awake stu
dent of history and current events.
Having spent about fifty years in
Bible study Mr.. Daniels is we'll pre-
pared to speak on the meaning of the
world war.
The lecture will begin at 8 o'clock
sharp. Seats free and all are invit-
ed.

BOARD LETS CONTRACTS
FOR INSTITUTION SUPPLIES
Commodities for Institutions Under
Direction of Board of Control
Are Provided For.

Contracts for supplies at the several
state institutions managed by the
board of control, have been let for the
coming three months, according to r.
S. Lewis, of this city, chairman of the
board. II
Because of fluctuating prices of vari--
the the several institutions, the policy of
not letting long term contracts-that
is contracts for year-has been
abandoned in many particulars
This is true of flour, the very high
price making it inadvisabIe to make
long term contracts.

Washington, Aug. 17-Presdent Wilson today invited the presidents of the principal railroads of the country to Washington immediately to confer with him the threatened strike. T Pending their arrival he does not plan the committed of the here with whom he has been meeting
 Presidents Invitation to Officials
 The President sent the following telegram to the leading railroad presidents:
 Discussion of the matters involved in the threatened rail- strike has reached point which makes highly desirable should personally confer with you the earliest possible with presidents any other railways affected who may be immediately accessible hope make it convenient to to Washington at Once."
 The Presidents action in asking for the conference with railroad presidents themselves is interpreted meaning that committee had refused finally to concede the day the Presidents plan proposed and the question up with the heads of the railroads themselves
 How the Situation Stands
 The situation as it stood today was this:
 railroads aty refused to cOncede the eighthour day but are willing artrae the question and all others before any tribunal the the decide upon.

PRIZE POULTRY
 POISONED; MAN
 HELD FOR TRIAL
Morris Farm Loses Many Valuable Fowl Through
 Agency of Paris Green.
BELIEVE MAN GAVE
 POISON IN REVENGE
Many Other Birds Still In Danger of Death From Arsenical Poison.

A discharged employe of the famous Morris chicken farm of Nichols, which raises nothing but show birds and pedigreed laying fowl, is charged with having distributed paris green among the 1000 birds in the pens.
 The poison, to which chickens are attracted on account of it's color and flavor, is said by the deputy sheriffs and state police engaged in the inquiry, to have resulted in the death of 87 birds, valued at more than $1,500 by their owner, Robert Morris.
 The powder was distributed during the night of Monday. The death rate on Tuesday was comparatively light There was a higher ratio yesterday and it is expected from the condition of the remaining birds that nearly three-quarters of the great flock will succumb within the next three days In this event the loss will total nearly 5000.
 As result of investigation by Dep uty Sheriff Frank Cimstead, snA-sSL French, Sheriff Simeon Pease and State Policeman Frank Virelli, Charles Zimmerman, aged 29, a former em- ploye of the Morris farm was placed under arrest and is said to have ad- mitted after several hours question: ing that the wholesale poisoning was the result of his discharge and done for revenge. He is held for examina- tion before Justice Fillmore T. Nichols on Saturday, Aug. 26.
 The Morris farm. located in Nichols, is one of the best known in New Eng land. For several years exceptional strains of Light Wyandottes, Rhode Island Reds and Buff Rocks have been raised there. The birds are well known in this and other cities where they have been placed on exhibition and have carried off many honors. In order to prevent interbreeding, the birds are all kept in small pens, some even in individual pens. This made the distribution of any poison hard matter for one person acting in the night season.
 It is alleged by the authorities that Zimmerman, upon whose clothing paris green is said to have been found when suspicion pointed towards him. placed the poison in the mash which is made up in large quantities and then distributed it at feeding time in the morning.
 The chickens began to droop and die Tuesday. Immediate analysis was made of. the contents of crops of the birds with the result that arsenical poison was found in large quantities. Inspection of the feed showed that a large quantity in storage had been poisoned in like manner.
 So great has the death rate among the chickens become that special pre- cautions for burial of the bodies have been made on the farm, where they are thrown in large trench and immediately covered with earth.
 The act will ruin the seasons busi- ness of the Morris farm, though ef- forts will be made to immediately re- establish the strain from surviving birds in other sections.

ATTY. MORSE TO APPEAL DECISION
 OF JUDGE MILLER
Will Contest His Removal As Trustee of Lucinda
 Ward Estate.

Attorney Joseph B. Morse of New Haven has filed in the probate court notice of his intention to appeal from the decision of Judge Paul l.. Miller removing him as trustee of the estate of Lucinda Ward. May Ward, of Huntington avenue, widow of Harry c. Ward, has also filed notice of her intention to appeal from the decision of Judge Miller, ruling that she is not an heir to the Lucinda Ward es- tate. The matter will now have a hearing before the superior court for final adjustment.
 The Lucinda Ward estate is esti- mated at $20,000. Harry c. Ward, of this city. the only surviving heir, died in Bermuda. He had the life use of the income. Judge Miller then de- cided that Brownlee Robertson Ward of New Haven, nephew of Harry c. Ward, was the only heir. The judge at the same time ordered the trustee to make an accounting. This Attor- ney Morse refused to do. Judge Mill Ter then removed him and appointed Attorney William H. Comley, Jr., in his place. Mrs. Ward, widow of Harry c. Ward, applied for a share in the estate as an heir. Judge Miller disalloweds her claim. Judge A. Hea- ton Robertson is attorney for Brown lee Robertson Ward, and long litiga- ton appears probable before settle ment is made.

C-1, REPUTED BEST OF SUBS,
 HAS ACCIDENT
Former "Seal" Abandons Tests With New Apparatus
 as Diving Plank Breaks.
Especial to The Farmer. )

New York, Aug. 1.-The United States submarine G-1, the only craft in the United States which will have a gyroscope stabilizer, has met with an accident which will delay her trials in Long Island Sound.
 A pair of diving rudders which were made especially for the vessel at the Brooklyn navy yard. cracked. and new ones will have to be cast be- fore the undersea boat can be made ready for tests.
 The G-1 was built in Bridgeport under the name Seal" It is the first submarine ever fitted with torpedo tubes that could be trained to fire to either broadside. All other United States submarines must manoeuvre to bring the axes of the ship in line with the target before firing. The man. oeuvering is very apt to betray the position of the submarines periscope when moving through the water. In- cidentally the G-1 is the only United States submarine known to have a diving compartment, among the first to be fitted with a "drop-keer' and holds the submergence depth record. It is the last boat to pass acceptance tests by the United States government. and as far as can be ascertained aside from the secrecy maintained by it's builders and government officials has never been surpassed by modern boats.

The registrars of voters are inclined to believe that the population of Bridgeport is nearer 175,000 than 147,O00, the latter being the estimate of the publishers of the new city di- rectory. The canvas of the registrars for the voting lists is not complete but the canvas to date indicates that the lists of voters will be increased from 1S,7T9 last year, to about between 25,060 and 27.000 this year. The canvas of the registrars discloses many names and many voters who are not in the city directory.

This afternoon at o'clock the Pres- ident will present his plan to the full committee of $40 chairmen of the em- ployes' union, in the hope of getting them to approve it. The result will be presented to the railroad presidents later.
 Early this morning, Secretary Tu- multy telephoned to Daniel Willard, president of the Baltimore & Ohio, re- garding the invitation to the railroad presidents to come to the White House, and MT. Willard said he would do everything possible to arrange conference.
 In case President Wilson. finds any of the railroad presidents cannot speak absolutely for their roads he may invite to the White House the fiananciers who control them. Off, cials said today that the President wants to deal with the ultimate au- thority' on both sides in order that negotiations may be considered here.
 Immediate acceptance of the Pres fdent's plan appeared improbable. The railroads insist on arbitration and the employees are equally resolute that they be conceded pay for overtime work equivalent to one and a half times the usual rate.
 Representatives of the railroads were prepared to maintain that the entire principle of arbitration is at stake. They also were mindful that when they applied recently to the in- terstate, commerce commission for a five per cent. freight rate increase the commission intimated that when the railroads grant higher wages without arbitration they. might not present that as reasons for higher tariffs.
 Among the managers 1t was pointed out that the presidents have been con- stantly advised of the negotiations with President Wilson and the feeling pre- vails that the attitude of the railroad heads was nov the same as the man eGers comn,ittee, although no one could forecast what effect personal conference with the President would have The railroad presidents are ex- pected to make strong plea for pre- servation of the. principal of arbitra- ton.
 Tn preparation for the conferences between President Wilson and the GAO employees, chairs were placed today in the East Room of the White House, the scene Of many notable events. Another indications of the delicacy Of the situation was seen in the de- cision ot ;he White House not to make public the Presidents remarks to the men al this time at least It was first intended to publish the Presidents statement and then his statement to tie Erana gers, thus laying the contest before the high court of public opin- ion It was believed that while there was hope of moving the committee of managers by appeals to the presidents or the financiers, the negotiations would be kept confidential.

WI
 It is claimed by the manufacturers that members of the union employed at the four foundries demanded cer- tain changes in wages and conditions during July and the early part of this month. When their demands were refused the employees stopped work and threatened to stop the operation of the factories, the complaint states. J. R. O,Leafs-, James A. Loveday, and T. F. Duffy, officials of the union, are said to have caused the employees to quit. They are named as defendants in all four actions.
 After the. men stopped work it Is claimed they placed pickets about the factories, threatened persons who sought employment and made threats of violence against those who con- tinued at work. Because of these threats those who would have been willing to continue at their jobs de- cided to quit, the manufacturers state.
 Because of this alleged conspiracy the manufacturers say they are unable to operate their shops. They had large contracts on hand which they cannot fill thereby causing them a large financial loss. Each of the ac- tions calls for 350,oO0 damages.
 In the suit brought by the Monu- mental Bronze Co. the following de- fendants are named in addition to union officials mentioned above: Geo. Master Michael Hadge, Charles Di- wiki Michael Kruzi. Harry Roraback, John Kocsan. Martin Prinineih, John Markowski, John Gannin, John San dor, Louis Janos, Michael Vida.
 In the Pequonnock Foundry action the defendants are: George c. vir- golf, Matthew Simko, Joseph Spodo- nick, John Spodonik, Steve Martich- owski, Louis Barrett, Bart Tomasak, Michael Fordak, Joseph Uscik, An drew Sinchek, Joseph Machode, Am drew Chorba, Frank Kocsik, Stephen

 The Manufacturers' Foundry sues the following men: Michael Smith, John Basista. Frank Kocsic and Ar mold Fabritze.-
 Meanwhile strikes at these foundries confident of winning despite the law confident of winnig despite the law suits.
 These actions follow along the lines or the suits brought several years ago against members of the United Hat CTS of North America by Danbury hat manufacturers. In these suits it was alleged that union members had con- spired to boycott the concerns and the cases were taken by appeal to the United States supreme court where the manufacturers won. Large sums of money deposited by union members in various banks were attached and many of the men lost their homes hv attachment.
 At the headquarters of the Mold CTS union today it was said Business Agent O'Leary is out of town for sev- eral days and is not expected to re. turn until Saturday.
 The. strikes at the factories, the officials of whom have brought suit against the Molders, were the open ing movement of a demand for better working conditions or general strike of molders throughout Bridge port and vicinity. Business Agent O'Leary, who formulated the de- mands presented by the union to the manufacturers, declared recently that wages, hours and working conditions for the molders generally are much better in other parts of New England than in Bridgeport and vicinity.
