MONDAY, NOVE MBER 19, 1917 — BISMARCK DAILY TRIBUNE COMMODITY RATE HEARINGS 10 BE HELD IN JANUARY Change in Dates Made That Re- sults of Washington Meeting May be Had NORTH DAKOTA WILL BE REPRESENTED BY BOARD The railway commission this morn- ing announced the postponement of all North Dakcia commodity raie hearings until after the tederal rate hearing on the railways’ petition for & general advance has been held in Washington on December 17. The state board, it is announced, will take steps to have North Dakota repre- sented at the. Washington hearing in order that the state's interests may be protected. “Rates in North Da- kota already are much higher propor- tionately than in other states,” said a member of the board this morning. “This fact has discriminated against North Dakota jobbing and wholesaling institutions in favor of the twin ci- ties, and we do not feel that we should be compelled to stand for a still fur- ther advance.” Commodity rate hearings had been scheduled for. Carrington on Decem- ber 6; ‘Minot, December 7; Grand Forks, December 8; Dickinson, De- cember 11, and Bismarck December 12, These hearings will be held early in January, the dates being announced some time in December. Tue Rosen complaint on rates for the reshipment of Wyoming coal, orig- inally scheduled for November 26, has been deferred to December 7. A car shortage still prevails in some sections of the state. The com- sion this morning received two com- plaints from ‘Lynchburg and one from Casselton, where elevators claim they are unable to ship their grain. JANDA. CONFIDENT TWELFTH OISTRIG HAS FLED QUOTA While official figures on the Y. M. C. A. campaign are not received for the Twelfth judicial distriet, Chair- man Jahda averred last ‘evening that the reports of yesterday indicated that the eftire district closed thé cam- paign with several hundred on the right side of the column. In Mandan, W. H. Ordway was pleased to report that over $3,000 has been collected, which ‘fulfills the allotment for the city. County Chairman H. K. Jensen has received very encouraging reports which assure the allotment of $4,000 has been reached. WOULD-BE DOUBLE SAVER RECOVERS Darold Meyer, who Attempted tc Kill Wife and Himself, Held at Mandan Jail Darold Myers, Shields farmer, who on Friday, November 9, shot his wife and then fired a bullet into his own head, was brought to the Morton county jail Saturday from Flasher, where he had been in a hospital re- ceiving treatment for his self-inflicted wounds. Myers has almost complete- ly recovered from the gun-wound, but his left leg is affected being slightly paralyzed. Mrs. Myers is recovering as well as can be expected. She is still in the hospital at Flasher, where she is under the care of Dr. W. R.| Shortridge. Sheriff Son Stevenson of Grant county brought Myers to Mandan in! an automobile Saturday evening. He has stated, it is alleged, that he is sorry he did not make his deeds good. ' Myers is to be held here until he isi Americans in Moscow are all safe.| able to be given his preliminary hear- ing. The Grant county jail is not con- sidered strong enough to hold Myers. | Cant Do Both. “De man dat wants to do all de| talkin’,” said>.Uncle Eben, “is mighty lkely to leave other people do most of the thinkin’.” SAMMY LEARNS HOW TO LET LOOSE HELL'S FIRE AGAINST THE HUN _ Here are American troops in France practicing the use of liquid fire with new and improved apparatus that goes the ‘leutons one better.

The receipts one yeer ago from all departments were $12: 426.42. In 1918, with the lowest that of the flat rate which has been prevailing, the amount available for highway work will be far greater. CRANE WILBUR AT ORPHEUM TONIGHT. Seldom has there been presented on ‘the picture stage a more telling con- trast than that witnessed in the Horsley-Mutual production of “The Single Code,” illustrating the point that a douDle standard of morality is criminally unjust. Crane Wilbur, one of the most force ful actors of the American siage, in his character of Hugh Carrington, hus- band of a society girl, is gorgiven by his wife after she discovers his form- er liaison with an adventuress. Later, Carrington learns cf an epi- sode in his wife’s debuiante days and confronts her wita the’ evidence. He goes to his wife as the siern judge and the man cannot find in his heart! forgiveness for the woman who has; fréely absolved him, despite the patent fact that her sinning was through ig- norance, wiile he lived the tainted life | of a “man about town” for years be-| fore his marriage and sinned with ful; knowledge.

He didn't finish. Just then a big German shell fell with an ear splitting explosion not more than 150 yards from us. A minute later a second shell came within 100 yards. The French guide, who had been under shell fire hundreds of times, admonished us. “There's no use ducking your heads. The shells you hear never hit you and the shells that hit you you never hear.” “Nevertheless,” said Harris Dick- son, short story writer, who was along, “I get a good deal of consola- tion out of these ducks, and if you don’s mind | take a few more.” “And as for me, gentlemen,” said Irving Matcheller, author of “Eben Holden,” “I think I'll be going back down hill. I'm not afraid of the shells, understand, but I don’t want to get this new raincoat of mine all spattered with mud.” Never Strikes in Same Place. At the foot of the hill we came up- on a group of French soldiers exam- ining a brand new shell hole. “Why don't you get away from there?” I asked one of them. “Because | might get hit if 1 did,” he answered. ‘Shells seldom if ever, strike twice in exactly the same orium 22-231.

We found his office and living quar- ters to consist of several fooms cut out of solid rock about 30 feet under- ground. As we sat around his table we could hear German shells breaking over- head. “I’m sorry I have to bring you s0 far underground to offer you my poor hospitality,” he said. i “Oh, that’s all right, general,” said the American whp responded. “We as- sure you some of us would feel more comfortable if you were down 60 feet instead cf only 30!” Returns from East.—®dward White of th eWhite confection, has return- ed from a business trip to the twin cities and Fargo.
