RATES EVOKE
PROTEST HERE
Traffic Committee Will
Make Appeal to Interstate
Commerce Commission.
Will

At a meeting of the traffic commit
tee of the Commercial club held this
noon in the club rooms. a general
protest against the proposed one
freight rates was made.
That the large towns and cities
would benefit by the increase appears
inevitable. and according to the var
ious members of the committee the
small towns would feel the effect and
would he the losers.
A few tentative suggestions were
drawn up by the committee and the
matter will! be presented to the di-
rectors of the Commercial club at
their meeting next Monday when ar
effort will be made to change the
viewpoint, in an appeal to the inter-
state commerce commission.

GRAND FORKS HERALD, FRIDAY, DECEMBER Is, 1918
READY
FOR HEARING
Attorney General at Last
Thinks Enough Time
Has Elapsed.

"A message received from Bismarck
this afternoon says that the state
board of railroad commissioners have
decided to hold a hearing concerning
the Red River Power company's gas
and electricity charges in Grand
Forks. The hearing will be held in
Bismarck on January 80, according to
the announcement made today. A
similar hearing in which the city of
Fargo will try to ascertain what con-
~stitutes fair gas rates, will be held on
January 28. Attorney General Will
liam LANCER has at last advised the
railroad commissioners that he is now
ready to proceed. Mr.. LANCER took
charge Of the case on March Q, 1918
a little mo:e than nine months ago!
The $500 gas consumers and $500
electricity users in the city may be
gratified that at last the case doth
official and unofficial. today pointed
out that they were glad the city Of
f1cials were not responsible for q de-
lay which has been, it al said, not
only vexing, but expensive to citizens
generally.
Bangs is Glad.
When told of the date set for the
hearing, City Attorney Geo. A. Bangs.
who has represented city in all the
preliminary proceedings lnClQent 10
the investigation, said:
Il am mighty glad the date for the
hearing has finally been set. There
have been many unfortunate delays
since this matter went into the hands
Of the attorney general. First, there
was the death of an assistant attorney
general; then came the oversight with
respect to the books last July, n the
delay in obtaining the accounting.
II have written the attorney gen.
eral again today, offering any assist
ance in my power n have also writ
ten the city attorney at Fargo, sug-
costing cooperation wherever pos
sible.
These proceedings started by the
action of the city council just about
a year ago in the appointment Of a
committee of which Alderman Gill
lette was chairman and which COM
mittee reported in favor of an inves-
tigation by the railroad commissions
ers. and complaint was filed with the
railroad commissioners last March.
Il am very hopeful that Then the
matter comes on before the railroad
commissioners we may be able to OBJ
tain a material reduction in the pres
ent gas and electric light rates"

MAY COLLECT
INSURANCE
Soldier Considered in Service
After Time of Induction,
Says Officer.

Regarding the case of Arthur
Ferguson Of Fisher. ]. s. Wineman.
chairman of the local Home Service
bureau, today said that information
recently received would seem to indi-
cate that the parents of the young
man would be able to collect insur-
ance from the government.
Ferguson was indicted into service
on Oct. 20. 1918, and en- route to
Camp Cody, New Mexico, was taken
sick. He was transferred to a hospi-
tai at Ell Paso, Texas. before he
reached his destination and died at
the hospital. The parents of the
young man, Mr.. and Mrs. D. B. Fer
guson, filed a claim for automatic In
urance although their son had not
been sworn into service at the time Of
his death. and, consequently, had not
made application for insurance.
The Home Service division Of the
Red Cross has taken up the matter
with the war department to determine
whether or not Ferguson would be
considered in service Of the United
States at the time of his induction or
at the time hat he vas duty sworn.
which would be when he arrived at
camp.
In the opinion of the acting judge
advocate general OF the army. VINO
makes his decision public with the
approval of General March, chief OF
the staff, the time in which an enlist
ed man can apply for insurance be-
gins on the date he is ordered to re-
port by his local examining board.
and that if insurance is not applied
for within 100 days after that date
that he is ordered to report to the To-
cal board. the soldier is not entitled
to the insurance.
In the case. upon which the deci-
sion was based, the acting judge advo-
cate general held that a young man
who was ordered to report to his To-
cal board on April 90, 1918, and who
did not report until July 16, and who
was then accepted, executed an APP

BUTTER SUPPLY
Still LIMITED
Food Administrator Says
Restrictions Are Still
in Force.

Although the majority Of patrons
OF restaurants in this city have been
under the impression that there were
no longer any restrictions in force as
far as the use Of butter, in eating
places was concerned. Mrs. R. A.
:;prague, county food administrator,
today said that all rules Of this kind
ire still effective.
1t appears that each state has the
power to make its own regulations,
and on the strength Of this authority
the administrator for the state Of
North Dakota has made Unknown that
any superfluous quantity Of butter
should not be asked for in restaur-
ants, nor be served. The regulations
stipulate the serving Of one square Of
butter for each person.
Several persons who have firmly
believed that they were entitled to an
ordinary quantity Of butter with their
meals, nave resented statements Of
mattresses and restaurant managers
to the effect hat the supply was lin
tied. and for this reason the matter
was taken up with DR.. E. F. Ladd.
federal administrator for North Da-
kota. who has written Mrs. 9prague
that regulations are still effective.
Part Of DR.. Ladd's letter reads as
follows:
THE regulations are in force with
regard to butter. and have not been
relaxed at all; the proprietor and hil
helpers. in the particular cases
was their duty and nothing else wher
they refused to serve more butter
than was permitted by the regula'
TONS"

plication for $4,000 insurance on
September FL. 1t was held that as
this was more. than 100 days after
April 20, the soldier was not entitled
to his insurance.
According to this decision, the
chairman of the Home Service divi-
sion believes that Arthur Ferguson is
entitled to automatic insurance, as the
above decision would indicate that a
man Is considered in service from the
time that he is ordered to report to
his local board, and not necessarily
from the time that he is sworn into
service
