some discussion, Brennan dropped his
plan of cross-examining Kilmer.
Kilmer's failure to remember all of
the parties to an automobile ride to
"Slim Jims," in the Bottoms, was the
cause of the states dissatisfaction.
E. Y. Lair, cashier of the First
Guaranty State bank of Bismarck,
stated positively that Hall had made
no loans and cashed no $500 checks
at that institution during the last 80
days.
Vesperman on Stand.
E. H. L. Vesperman, manager of the
Bismarck office of the Western Union,
after having been commanded by the
court to reveal Office secrets of his
company, identified, telegram which
the secretary of state had sent to the
home office of an insurance company
at Omaha, Neb., presumably with a
view to obtaining money. E. A. Thor
berg of the state examiners office
again was called to the stand, and
Miss Dorothy Schneider of the secre-
tary of states Office testified without
adding any material evidence.
The hearing will be resumed tomor'
row forenoon. E. NJ. Walla, who was
not we'll enough to take the stand to-
day, will, it is understood, appear,
waive his constitutional rights, and
give evidence as a witness for the
state. His testimony is expected to
prove the most interesting of the
hearing. He is jointly charged with
his chief with the embezzlement of
automobile registration funds and has
been identified by other witnesses
with the scurry for financial assist
ance which seems to have been made
during the week Of Oct. 1880 Assist
ant Attorney General Daniel V. Bren'
nan admitted this eevning that Walla
has consented to appear as a witness
for the state, but declared this would
not alter the states determination to
arraign Walla on the offense original
ly charged. Walla's hearing originally
was scheduled for Wednesday. but
probably will be postponed a day, If
the attorneys consume as much time
as anticipated in summing up, all OF
Wednesday will be occupied in finish
ing the Hall case. E.. ..

KELLY MADE BEST PLAY,
II Team Meets Funeral on Way e
Game Il Means Victory.

u Team Meets Funeral on Way to
Game It Means Victory.
For a baseball team to meet q fu-
neral on the way to the game means
that they will win; if they meet q
load of barrels, they will lose.
1t Is considered unlucky for a ball
player to meet a red-haired woman or
clergyman on his way to the game.
Another sign Of bad luck is to talk
with girl who has cast in her
eye. 1t is said that to kiss her will
remove the hoodoo. To allow a
stranger to sit on the players bench
Is to invite bad luck. Some teams will
not allow all the players to sit down
together.
Another way to invite hoodoo is
to allow a strange hand to touch the
bat. 1t is considered a sign of bad
luck If a dog crosses the diamond be-
fore the first ball is pitched.
Baseballs must never be nut in q
bat bag or bad luck will result. It is
unlucky to step on the home plate. ex-
cept, of course, when by so doing it
completes a run.
New uniforms are looked upon as
hoodoo. Ball players believe it is un-
lucky while travelling to sleep with
the feet pointing toward their destina-
ton. The head should always be near
est the engine.

BUILDING TRADES
ORDERED TO OBEY
WILSON'S BELFAST
Federation Of Labor Orders Ship,
builders to Return to
Their Work.
STRIKES DISCOURAGED '
UNTIL AFTER THE WAR

Buffalo, N. Y, Nov. 14.-President
Wilson's plea to labor to maintain un-
hindered all the processes of labor un-
til Germany has been beaten received
it's first answer yesterday when the
building trades in the American Fed
Grafton OF Labor ordered the discOn-
tinuance of all strikes on government
work under it's jurisdiction.
This action after arrangements had
been made for a committee of the
general presidents of the Building
Trades to meet at Washington and
confer with President Wilson or other
government officials for the readjust-
ment of existing difficulties.
While the immediate result of the
departments movement will affect
only strikes on buildings that are be.
ing erected for shipbuilding or the
manufacture of war munitions, it was
regarded as precedent for the adj.
1ustment of all difficulties that might
delay the prosecution of the govern
ment's war work plans. The resOlu.
ton calls for the meeting of general
presidents at Washington at the earli'
est possible moment.
Today's session of the 9th annual
convention of the federation was brief.
The usual batch of resolutions was
received and referred to committees.
Among them was one calling upon the
legislative committee to obtain the en-
actment of legislation that will extend
the eight hour to all classes of rail-
way workers. ... .-..
President Highly Pleased.
President Wilson tonight expressed
his appreciation for the action taken
by the Building Trades council in de-
claring off strikes. His message, adj
dressed to President Donlin, reads:
"Your telegram has cheered me
very much, and hope you will con-
vey my sincere thanks and apprecia'
ton to those associated with you in
the patriotic action of which you give
me information. You may be sure
there will be all possible cooperation
at this end"
