STATE BOARD
PLANS FIGHT
ON RATE BOOST
N. u. Commission to Ask Fair
Treatment at Farley in
st. Paul Next Week

Increases on shipments of grain and
livestock from North Dakota and the
adjustment of rates to various points
in the state will be discussed in St.
Paul next Tuesday at conference
between the carriers involved and the
state board of railroad commission
ers.
Frank Milhollan, president of the
board. and f. M. Hendricks, freight
expert, will represent the board. Rep
resentatives of the 500 line, the
Northern Pacific, Great Northern and
Milwaukee railroads are expected to
be present.
The attitude of the board is that
any fair settlement of the contro-
versy will be acceptable. It's atti-
tude toward the railroads will be that
of giving them fair opportunity and
the board will expect fair treatment
in return. The 10 to Is per cent in
crease on grain shipments and 20 per
cent increase on livestock shipments
asked by the carriers is held to be
unjust and discriminatory.

PESTS ENDS
IN THIS STATE

Fargo, June 26.-As a consequence,
of the failure of the last legislator.
to approximate funds for rodent con

operation with the United States de-
partment of agriculture, the feder a
government has ordered Scott Tim

port to Utah.

troll work in this state until such
time as the legislature decides to
bear a share of the costs.

and other pests that have a ten
dency to destroy the farmers crops
for the past five years. His Offices
have been at the North Dakota Agri-

ried en- by funds provided by the ma
tional and state governments, the
former providing the larger por-
ton.

CAPITOL CAR
LINE TRACKS
TO BE REMOVED
Bus to Take Place of Street
Car After July 1; City
TO Serve Notice

The city of Bismarck is to serve
trespass notice on the state of
North Dakota which will then pro-
coed to remove the tracks and wires
on Fourth street, long the apple of
discomfort with the city fathers.
H. h. Murphy, chairman of the state
board of administration which is
foster-parent of the trolley-line, said
today that it is quite likely that on
July l an automobile bus will take
the place of the street car.
This will be the final winding up
of years of controversy which was
recently brought to a head by a de-
mand of the city authorities that the
state remove the trolley and tracks
or obtain an extension Of franchise
and pave between the tracks and one
and one-half feet on each side of the
tracks.
Mr.. Murphy says that the board
feels that it should not re-obligate
the state with renewed franchise
and that the state has no appropri-
alton for paving, due to negligence
on the part of both city officials and
the legislature. He believes that if
wy t'u opPiIcu lCCle more
pressure the paving would have been
completed long ago.
The only sufferers by the change"
said Mr.. Murphy, twill be the two men
we employ on the car and the fire
man. They will be out of jobs. And
then there are lot of people who
have travelled to and from the capitol
so many times that they consider the

GAS EXPLOSION

Police Seek Bodies in Ruins
of Kansas City Theater
Following Blast
BUILDINGS DESTROYED
Six or Eight Persons Are
Believed to Have Lost
Lives in Crash

Kansas City, June 26.-(F-Fire.
men and an army Of workers from
the street department today begar
searching the smouldering ruins OF
the ellis Theatre for bodies of per.
sons believed to have lost their lives
when fire and explosion wrecked
the theatre and dozens of stores here
late last night.
Several hours after the search of
the debris started no bodies had
been recovered. The only known
death to result was that of John
Hogan, fireman, who was killed
when en- route to the scene, when a
fire truck overturned.
Six or Eight Die
Alex Henderson, fire chief, after a
survey Of the situation, said he be-
lieved that not more than 6 or 8
bodies would be found and perhaps
not that many.
A cook in restaurant adjoining
the theatre, which was demolished,
is the only one police know to be
unaccounted for. It was estimated
that nearly 100 persons were in the
show house at the time of the blast.
How many of them escaped is not
known.
The exact cause Of the explosion is
not known. Police believe the blast
occurred in restaurant in the
building.
Search Delayed
Henderson estimated that it would
require at least two days to clear
away the wreckage. Parts of the
walls of the four story building still
standing will have to be felled be-
fore a search of the ruins can be
r.ade, Chief Henderson said. After
searching through the building, fire
men expressed the belief that the
blast was caused by escaping gas.
Due to the huge amount of debris
they we're unable to explore the
ruins and arrive at a definite cause.
According to Melvin McNutt, negro
porter in the restaurant, he and the
cook, who is missing, smelled gas
fumes in the basement 80 minutes
before the explosion. The negro had
eft the building for fresh air when
he blast came.
Comedian Escapes
Jack Renaud, comedian at the
,heatre, and his wife were at the
rear of the stage when the blast oc-
cured. The vaudeville show had
ust ended and the picture, featuring
Flaming Passion" were being
shown. Renaud and his wife stepped
lear of the ruins just as tons of
ieorls hurled down behind them.
