PAID ALL HIS OWN EXPENSES

New York, Jan. 22-Charles M.
Schwab appeared before the Walsh
congressional committee and denied
testimony given by Col. E. HI. Abadie,
former comptroller of the United
States shipping board, to the effect
that Mr.. Schwab's personal expenses
for October, 1913, amounting to $780,
600, were charged to the shipping
board.
Mr.. Schwab declared the statements
were absolutely, unqualifiedly and
maliciously false" and that he person
ally paid all his own expenses during
his term of office as director general
Of the Emergency Fleet corporation.
Took No Travelling Allowances.
Mr.. Schwab said that, although he
was supposed to receive, dollar a
year salary, he did no. even collect
that, and for his travels from ship
yard to shipyard while >at the head
of the fleet corporation he asserted he
never received any compensation and
did not want any.
Mr.. Schwab admitted such a vOuch-
er as that charged by Colonel Abadie
may have been paid to him, but de-
clared it was not for the purpose stat
ed by Abadie, and no part of it was
charged to ship construction.
His acceptance OF the position as
head of the feet corporation, he told
the committee, was only at the urgenl
request of the chairman of the board
and President Wilson.
In accepting the place, he declared.
he insisted that all matters connected
with his own shipbuilding companies
be handled by other members of the
board.
Several irregularities" Charged.
The disposition alleged to have been
made of Mr.. Schwabs expense ac
count was characterized by the witness
as lone of several serious irreguari-
ties that occurred during Mr.. Schwab's
dual position as director general OF
the Emergency. Fleet corporation and
official of the Bethlehem Steel corpora
ton He added however, that he.he
lfeved they occurred without Mr..
Schwab's personal knowledge.
Eugene G. Grace. president of the
Bethlehem Steel corporation, issued a
statement emphatically denying that
any improper payments had been made
to his company while Mr.. Schwab was
director general of the Emergency
Fleet corporation.
Among other witnesses to be called
to testify next week are Edward n
Hurley, former chairman of the ship
ping board; Charles Piez, former di-
rector general of the Emergency Fleet
corporation, both Of Chicago; Com
mander r. d. Gatewood, head of the
division of construction and repairs
and Robert Hague, his predecessor.

C0SSACkS TURN ON
BLACK FRENCH GUARDS
General Wrangel's Men Mutiny and
Attack Senegalese-Machine
Guns Stop Them.

Constantinople, Jan. 19-French
black troops turned their machine
guns on mutinous Cossacks of General
Wrangel's former army, encamped at
Tchatalja, 26 miles northwest of Con-
stantinOple, after the Cossacks had
disarmed their officers. The Russians
returned the fire, killing ten Senegal
lese and wounding 20 and two officers.
The French encircled the CosSack's
camp and ultimately got the mutineers
under control. The leaders of the
uprising were placed under arrest
and are being contaminated by the
French military authorities.
The allies commissioners requested
General Wrangel Saturday to order
the Don Cossacks encamped at Tchat-
ALA to move to Mudros. on the island
of Lemnos. He consented and LOO
COssacks have sailed to the new loca-
ton to construct barracks for the
accommodation of the rest of the
troops, who will follow as soon as
the camp is ready.
1t is believed that the request was
made by the allies to prevent an even
tual outbreak against CONSTANT
nOple when the French cease to sup
port the Crimean refugees.
From Angora, the Turkish national
lists capital, it is reported, that the
assembly there is discussing sugges-

II You Need a Medicine
You Should Have the Best

Have you ever stopped to reason why
it is that so many products that are ex-
tensively advertised, all at once drop out
of sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason is plain-the article did not fulfill
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to a medicine.
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the. remedy is
recommended by those who have been
benefited, to those who are in need of it.
A prominent druggist says "Take for
example DIR. Kilmer's Swamp-Root,
preparation I have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for in
almost every case it shows excellent re-
suits, as many of my customers testify.
No other kidney remedy has so large a
sale"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of DIR.
Kilmer's Swamp-Root is due to the fact,
so many people claim, that it fulfills al
most every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments; corrects uri-
nary troubles and neutralizes the uric
acid which causes rheumatism.
You may receive a sample bottle Of
Swamp-Root by Parcels Post. Address

BISMARCK WINS
SECOND GAME

In the second game of three game
series, the fast local nine met defeat
at the hands of the capital nine on the
local diamond last night. The game
was an interesting one from the fans
side of it, as it was featured with
some good hitting and some fine spec
tacular plays by our fast second base
man, Dean. =,
1t seemed as if the local nine could
not get started in the first inning.
when they allowed the visitors to
score four runs. From this time until
the end of the game, things began to
tighten up, until Valley tied the score:
But again the visitors rallied, and
gained a two point lead which our
boys were unable to overcome the rest
of the game, the final score being 5
to 7. Nevertheless it was good game
and one that we cannot be ashamed
to lose. The Bismarck nine are fast
bunch, and it is no disgrace to lose to
them. They play the last game of the
series on the local diamond tonight
and the local fans all look for close
game with our boys on the long end
that is if they have enough fans out to
stand behind them.

LAST BALL GAMES
OF The SEASON

Manager Sampson has made ar
rangement for a series of base ball
games which are to be the last games
for this season. The following are the
games scheduled:
July %, at 6:15 p. M, N. P. team
of St. Paul VS.. Valley City.
Sunday, July "a, N. P. team Of St.
Paul VS.. Valley City at p. m.
Each and every one of these games
should be humdinger. Bismarck is
coming down loaded for bear, and the
N. P. team, which was defeated when
at Valley City some time ago, is COM
ing with some new material for mound
work and does not propose to let the
locals put it over them again. James
town is playing good ball and they are
not coming down here with any in
tention of being wiped off the map, so,
taking it all in all some real games
are on the tapis. The boys have been
doing some good work and if you are
interested in them attend these games
and show them by your patronage that
you appreciate their good work.
Send them away feeling that their ef-
forts have been good.

|. W. W. s CAUSE
SHOOTING AFFAIR

Sheriff Larson, his deputies and po.
lice cficers were called to the 500 de.
pot tlis morning, about 2 a. m. to an.
swer call from the depot. When the
officers arrived they found that the
l. w. WIS had been busy trying to
circulate their cards and it had turn.
ed into a shooting match. It seems
ti;a5 the I. w. WIS asked two men
near the 500 depot if they had red
cards. The men answered mo" and
the I. w. WIS pulled their guns on
them and began shooting. There seems
to be two stories to the scrape. One
of the men shot claims it was hold
up, but neither of the men lost any
money.
After the shooting one of the men
re-, to the 500 depot and the other to
the Nestor farm abut two miles north
Of town. The one at the depot called
the officers who arrived shortly after
stne shooting and searched every box
car along the tracks. It is said there
were at least so boes in the cars al
though the officers only made one ar
rest. The arrested man is being held
in the county jail to await investiga-
tion cf the case. It is said that it was
so dark that it was hard to Identify
anyone. "
One of the wounded men was shot
through the left arm just below his
elbow and again through his hip. The
other one was shot through the arm
and breast. Both of the men are in
the county hospital, but their condi-
tion is not serious, it was said this
morning.
In an interview with Sheriff Larson
this morning, he stated that he be-
lieved this was only starter to the
great many shooting scrapes expect
ed to be pulled off this fall. There are
a. great many men on the road and
many bad ones among them. Up to
this time no men with "red card" "
have been arrested. ..-

GOOD SHOWING ON
RECALL PETITIONS

Fargo, July 16.-The signing of the
recall petitions is now in full swing
all over the state. At the Independent
state headquarters here it was stated
yesterday chat petitions totaling as,
935 names had been returned so ia,
and reports from field workers show
that about one thousand petitions with
more than twenty thousand signatures
are being withheld for additional
signers.
The joint campaign committee
which is handling the recall election
is very well satisfied with the results
so far, and Secretary Theo. G. Nelson
of the Independent Voters association
points out that the recall is assured
with only little more work. The In
dependent headquarters are concen-
trating their efforts on securing at
least eighty thousand signatures be-
fore the end of the month.
For the purpose Of keeping a full
and complete check on all recall pc
tition work the state has been divided
into sixty three units. Where he leg
islat:ve district is confined to one
county, or part of one county, the dis
trict is he unit; but where more than
one county form the county is the
unit. Each unit has a manager who
supervises the work of captains in
each precinct.
1t is admitted at the headquarters
that it took sometime to get the work
we'll under way, but when it once had
a good start the movement gained
momentum by it's own weight. Added
impetus has been given to the cause
during the past week as a result OF
the jury finding in the Brinton trial
and the upheaval in the Fargo Courier
News. New requests for petitions ar
rive at the headquarters with every
mail and added activity is shown in
every part of the state.

CUT YOUR
WHEAT EARLY

One of Barnes county's most prom
inent farmers has been experimenting
for several seasons trying to ascer-
tain the proper time to cut rusted
wheat, or to ascertain whether or not
there might be anything gained by
cutting it in a green stage, several
days before it appeared to be ready
He would cut portion of a field in
the green stage just as it showed IN
dications Of ripening. then later ne
would cut another portion. and later
still finish cutting the field after the
last portion had become yellow, or ripe
in appearance. On every occasion the
wheat cut in the first green stage was
the best. Last year it made the diff.
ference between No. Northern and
SO lb: wheat, or about 40 cent pei
bushel. In addition to that he got 81
