PAVING MAN ASKS
CHANCE TO SAVE
CITY $50,000.0
Representative of Refined As.
phalt Product Declares He's
Bucking Trust
COMMISSION "INTERESTED''

Appearing by his own admission in
the role Of a mercenary philanthropist,
W. A. Gill Of Minneapolis, representing
the Texaco Asphalt Co., attempted
Monday to convince the city commits
sion that Bismarck can save from
$4,000 to $4,000 on its proposed four
and one-half miles Of paving by alter
i:!g its specifications so as to permit
the TeXacO company to buck the as
phalt trust.
The asphalt trust, according to Mr..
Gill, consists Of the Barbour Asphalt
Co., which controls all natural lake
Trinidad and Bermudas asphalt. In
tentiOnally or otherwise Bismarck S
specifications for the proposed paving
are now 80 drawn as to exclude any
but natural lake asphalt, excluding any
contractor. Mr.. Gill claims. who is not
tied up with the Barbour people, and,
he alleges, enabling this company to
charge its own price for sheet asphalt
laving.
Mr.. Gill seemed to believe that nat
ural asphalt has nothing on the TexacO
product, which Is refined from petrOle-
un, and he insisted that if the spccif-
'vntiOns are opened to permit other u.s.
plalt producers to bid the city will
save at least thirty to fifty cents per
yard, and probably more, on a contract
involving some $1,000 square yards.
The commission was SO much i'm
pressed with Mr.. Gill's statements that
it agreed to take the matter up ;bjs
evening with City Engineer Atkinson
who now is out of the city, and to seri,
Ously consider the opening Of the spec l.
fications to all bidders. This will in.
vOlve about two weeks delay in the
awarding of contracts, but the commits
sion seems inclined to believe that two
weeks wait at $4,000 to $4,000 per
week possible profit might be worth
while. ,.
Mr.. Gill disclosed much interesting
inside information relative to the paw
ing business, among them being So
called "prOmOtiOm cOtract," which he
alleged some paving concerns entered
into with prominent citizens who
would agree to give their support to u
certain type of pavement, and to re-
ceive in return a commission of seven
or eight cents yard for their services.
In North Dakota, Gill alleged. Han
Ion 4 OkeS. who did Bismarck's first
paving job, control the natural lake as
phalt patronage, and he asserted that
any contractor who bid on natural lake
asphalt here would do so with Hanlon

Jackson, Mimi, JUNE 25.-When
the trial of A. c. Townley, president
of the Nonpartisan league, and Jo

Fargo yesterday, and his associates
said it was understood he would leave
Fargo for Jackson some time today
Prosecuting Attorney Nichols be.
gan his address to the jury shortly af
ter this morning. The indictment
returned against Townley and Gil
bert alleges that they entered into a
conspiracy to teach disloyalty.
"The crime of conspiracy means
that two or more persons have been
in unison together to commit an un.
lawful act" said the states attorney.
"These persons must only agree to
commit the Offense; they need not
actually commit the act. One or more
Of them, however, must commit an
avert act. Two or more persons, for
instance, may conspire to commit
murder. Should one of these pur-
chase pistol, the law would hold the
offense committed, although there
was no actual murder"
Only few spectators were in the
court room when the case got under
way. The county attorney did not
make any reference to the actions of
Townley at the outset of his address.
He dwelt at length upon the alleged
activities of Townley, Gilbert and
Freitag, a league organizer, during
the early months of the war.
A motion of the defense to segre-
gate witnesses was denied for the
present IF it becomes necessary the
witnesses will be segregated, said
Judge Dean. "Ole Thorson, Judge of
probate, at Lakefield, was the first
witness called by the state. He testi-
fled that on January 18, 1918, county
authorities said letter to Nonparti-
san headquarters notifying the league
it could not hold meetings in Jackson
county. He testified that on January
%, 1918, Joseph Gilbert came to Lake.
field and said that the county authori-
ties had no right to stop the meetings
of the league and he intended to speak.
"We intend to show that the Town.
ley attitude was opposition to the war
and that the people should not assist
in the prosecution of the war"
Conviction of the defendants on the
conspiracy charge would entail Jail
sentence or fine or both.
Shortly before a recess was taken
Nicholas discussed the. address at
Lakefield, Minn., in January, 1918.
The indictment alleges Gilbert told his
audience that "men should not invest
money in U. S. bonds, and that the
U. S. soon would be bankrupt if we
continued in this war"
Taking the testimony at the trial of
President A. C. Townley, of the Ma

here this afternoon after Judge E. c.

disease in whatever form is also
merely the objectification of diseased
beliefs upon the human body, and
that such beliefs originate in the
carnal mind, and not in the body,
but are manifested on the body only
after they are formulated in the
material or carnal mind. If this be
true, and it is true beyond all pos
sible question, it then follows that
the correct way to treat disease Is
not through matter, nor by giving
material remedies and drugs to the
body, but by destroying the images
of disease out of the human mind.
Every one must see at glance that
disease is not itself an entity. 1t
has no mind, intelligence, volition,
nor presence Disease is neither
self-created nor was it created by
God. 1t originates in the first in
stance in the carnal human mind in
the form of diseased thought and
is then obJectified on the body by the
material beliefs of that same carnal
mind. Tile true way to cure, it,
therefore, is to give to the human
mind something that will neutralize
and destroy the disease producing
qualities and beliefs. The thing that
does this is the Christ-truth, which
Christian Science brings to the
human mind, and in this way Chris
tian Science has healed very many
people from all kinds of diseases.
y Jesus said, Come unto me all We
that labour and are heavy laden, and
viii give you rest" and Christian
Science is teaching the human race
that the way to come unto him is
to live the Life that he lived, to
manifest the Love that he manifest
ed, and to demonstrate the Truth
that he taught. In this way it has
helped many people to find rest, and
peace, and health.
