RECORDS ARE WITHHELD

The supreme court has under con-
sideration petition filed by the state
auditing board and directed against
the industrial commission and others
in which it alleges records withheld
from the accountants making the ex-
animation of state industries under
the direction Of the board.
The court is asked to issue a writ
to the defendants to show cause why
they should not deliver up the rec
ords.
Assertions that approximately
$4,000 worth of flour had been sold
by the state mill at Drake to the
Consumers United Stores company
company fostereI by the Nonpar-
tisan league, and that records regard
ing the transactions are withheld, and
further that employees of the state
have hindered the examination of the
state industries, were made by the
state auditing board in asking the su-
preme court to direct that certain
records be given up to the boards
representatives.
Mrs. Rose Keller, the bookkeeper
at the Drake mill, refused to allow
Harry Altman, one of the certified
accountants employed by the board
of auditors, to have access to the
safe in which records wera ker,t II
is charged, and that efforts to gain
information regarding the Consumers
Stcres' transactions had been unsuc-
cessful, though efforts had been made
in Fargo, Bismarck and at the mill /.
Sold on Consignment
1t is stated by Harry l.. Altman, in
an affidavit accompanying the peti-
tion to the supreme court, that he
had found that approximately $780,
900 of flour had been shipped out on
consignment Of which approximately
$129,000 worth had been shipped to
the Consumers United Stores CON-
pany, a corporation having stores in
various parts of North Dakota, that
afiant asked the persons in charge
of the mill and elevator at Drake for
their records and correspondence COW
ering these transactions.
The affidavit sets out further that
said records are still withheld from
the accountants.

X. P. NOTES

A very enthusiastic convention of
the K. P. lodge was held last Thurs
day evening. The members that
were not present certainly missed
something.
Work in the rank of Esquire was
conferred upon class of Pages which
lasted until after midnight.
The convention was adjourned un-
til Wednesday evening at 8 p. m., at
which time considerable important
business will be taken up, and plans
will be laid for the coming year.
There is no question that the win
ter session Of '2Q-'21 will go down in
K. P. circles as one of the best ses.
sions ever held in this city. Among
the new features during the coming
winter will be the X. P. Band, X. P.
Orchestra, X. P. Quartet, X. P.
Minstrels, and there is great deal
of talk of Commandry of the Uni
form Rank, as we'll as an organization
from Rank, as we'll as an organization
of Pythian Sisters.
The annual X. P. dance will also
be held during the winter, and this
promises to be THE event of the sea
son, as usual.
Tonight (Thursday) work in the
rank of Knight will be exemplified
and every Knight is expected to be
present. The members of the team
are the same as last year with few
exceptions.

WOULD MAKE AN EXCEPTION
Captured German Captain Decided That on This Occasion He Would
 Forget About Honor.

Among the letters from France that have been printed in the Atlantic Monthly there is to te found this g tertaining episode;
 The code of the German officers is never to surrender; but of course they cannot live up to if. In d recent raid sergeant I know made prisoner of a German captain who, as they walked to the rear. cursed his luek in fluent French, saying that he was caught unawares, that an officer neve' surrendered, but fought to the end.
 "Stop here. my captain, and let us consider this" said the sergeant seri- ously. There are several articles of your equipment to which my fancy runs. That watch, for instance, those leather puttees. and that fat purse I saw you change to your hip pocket Perhaps l can oblige you and gratify my whim. Suppose you were suddenly to run--a quick shot would save your honor, and me the trouble of eScorting you to the rear. And I am an extcl- lent shot, I assure you.

On the farm of Mir.

The same stone now lies in the yard. at the old place. and men now in their eighties often speak of this rock and Identify 1t as the stone they used to Nosa about to each other.

BUILDING TRADES IN
NATIONWIDE COMBINE
Bids Controlled and Costs Boost
ed 200 Per Cent, New York
Committee Is Told.

New York.-The Lockwood Commit
tee entered upon the second phase of
its investigation, that of probing into
alleged combinations of building ma
terial manufacturers and dealers to
keep up the prices of their cOmmodi-
ties. Evidence along this line indi-
Gated the following:
That combinations exist among
manufacturers and dealers in cement,
lime, gravel, brick, sand, stone and
other building materials which hold
the builders of the country in tight
grip by means of a network of or
CARNATIONS with intricate rules and
In some cases uniform contracts.
That a national organization of
cement manufacturers controls the
cement output of the country and di-
vides the states into districts for the
purpose of supervising the cement
trade, eliminating competition and in
surfing geographical distribution of
contracts.
That no builder, however large, can
go out of his district to purchase
cement, nor can he buy it direct from
the manufacturer. A New York build
er canno. go to Philadelphia or even
to Newark for cement, but must buy
of dealer in this city.
That prices for building materials
are uniform all over the country, no
matter what differences there may be
in the cost of doing business among
the material dealers
Evidences along the foregoing line
was furnished to the committee by
Hugh White, a vice president of the
George A. Fuller Construction Com
pany and in charge of all construc-
tion work in the metropolitan dis
trict.
Mr.. White, In his testimony and ac-
cordlng to comprehensive memoranda
he prepared for the committee, as
serted:1
That since the inception of the Lock-
wood committees investigation the
price of building materials has begun
to tumble. As an Illustration he show
ed that on 100000 worth of sub
contracts his concern let for the build
ing of the Plaza Hotel annex reduc-
lions amounting to $4,000, or more
than 10 per cent have been made In
the last month.
