He 1s Director of the Amer- ican Red Cross S8ociety. Members Did Not Get as Many Chair- manshivs as Had Been Given Them Formerly. By United Press. St. Paul, Jan. 15.—Ferman wilson, of Bemidji, was appointed clerk to the reapportionment committee of the house late Tuesday by Speaker Rines. Grove Wilson, brother of Ferman, has already been appointed secretary to Lieutenant Governor Burnquist. Speaker Henry Rines gave some of the Hennepin, county legislators a figurative “slap on the wrist” in the chairmanships of the standing com- mittees. But nine of the fifty-nine committees were given to the Henne- pin county bunch and of these the only ones which might be considered of importance were cities, of which F. L. Palmer is chairman; telephone and telegraph, to John G. Lennon and labor and labor legislation to W. A. Campbell, C. H. Warner, Aitkin, landed the chairmanship of the reapportionment committee and Bob Dunn was reap- pointed on the committee on roads and bridges.” The jurisdiction of the stete railroad and warehouse com- mission-Will-be enlarged by-the in- troduction of a bill Tuesday in the house. which provides that the com- mission may investigate telephone and telegraph companies. Bob Dunn, Princton, introduced a bill to compel the use of two brakes on all motor vehicles of over ten horsepower. A state reformatory for ‘women, carrying an appropriation of $50,000 is provided for in a bill introduced in the house by Represen- tative Knapp of Minneapolis. The state board of control is authorized to select a site for the institution. Speaker Rines did not neglect the Democrats in the house in making committee assignments. He placed Albert Pfaender, New Ulm, minority leader, in charge of the crimes and punishments committee and F. L. Minnette, Democrat, as chairman of the state training school committee. Investigation Wanted. Appointments of the standing com- mittees of the senate and house were the point of interest at the capitol yesterday, and reading of committee lists was listened to with great in- terest by the members in each house. The usual heartburnings were felt but not much in evidence. The sen- sational feature of the day was a res- olution offered by Knud Wefald of Hawley, asking an investigation of newspaper charges of serving of in- toxicating liquor at the capitol dur- ing the governor’s reception last week, His resolution went over under notice of debate given by H. H. Dunn. It follows: “Whereas the sale or giving away of intoxicating liquors in the state capitol building is ex- - pressly forbidden by law, and “Whereas certain newspapers of the city of St. Paul have open- ly made the charge that on the evening of' Jan. 9, at the inaug- ural reception to the governor of Minnesota, held in the state cap- itol building, intoxicating liquor was dispensed from certain state officers’ rooms in direct vlolation of law: “Be it.resolved by the house of representatives that the speaker appoint a special committee of five members to investigate the truth of said charges, said com- mittee to report to the house their findings at the anrheat o8- sible date; “Be it further resolved that such committee shall have. the power to compel the attendance and administer oath to witness if necessary.” “I do not know anything about this personally,” said Mr. Wefald, have ro personal grudges. not rest there.” “and 1 But it " these statements in the press are not true, the papers should be prosecuted. ~ If they: are true the matter should WILSON SPEECHES SHOW DESIRE TO FOR PROGRESSIVE PLANS By United Pro; Washington, Jan. here today viewed 15.—Politicians President-elect Wilson’s “creed” outlined yesterday at Trenton to his New Jersey electors as foreshadowing an aggressively progressive administration when De- mocracy comes into power March 4. “Governor Wilson clearly shows that he means to be in the forefront of a concerted effort to carry out the pledges of the Democratic party,” said Representative Burke (Dem., Wis.) “He was elected as a progres- sive and he means to bear that title in fact as well as in name.” “Governor Wilson properly reflects the éverwhelming sentiment in the Democratic party,” sald Representa- tive Alexander (Dem., Mo.) “There are no reactionaries in the party to- day. All like Governor Wilson him- self have joined the forward march for progress.” “The sentiments expressed by Wil- son at Chicago and at Trenton augur well for the new administration,” said Senator Wellington (Md.) “They mean he intends to be the leader of a reunited party and he will judge men not by their past performances, but by their deeds while they are working shoulder to shoulder with him.” BALKAN PEACE ENVOY HEAR ABOUT BREAKING WITH TURKS By United Pre London, Jan. 15.—The Balkan peace envoy last night discussed plans for breaking off negotiations with the Turks today. The confer- ence was an informal one, held after the Balkan delegates dined as guests of the ‘Greek minister to London at his home. The Turkish plenipotentaries were invited to attend the dinner by the Greek minister but declined the in- vitation. They also declined an invi- tation to meet the Balkan envoys after dinner for an informal confer- ence. It was conceded by diplomats that negotiations probably would be broken off. BREWERY UNION HIT RAILROADS By United Press. Washington, Jan. 15.—Charging discrimination by the Chicago, Mii- waukee & St. Paul and the Chicago & Northwestern railways in that they load beer for some breweries and fafl to do so with others, the Milwaukee branch of the United Brewery Work- ers today complained to the interstate. commerce commission. - The union declared the railroads employ labor- ers who replace union workmen for the breweries. They want the rail- roads to be prevented from doing work for the brewerles.

REUSSWIG PLEADS GUILTY Grand Rapids, Minn,, Jan. 15.— A great surprise was sprung yester- day morning at the opening of dis- rict' court after a month’s adjourn- ment by the turn taken in the case of the state vs. F. E. Reusswig, who pleaded guilty to having allowed and collected and appropriated to his own use an order for money on school dis- trict No. 1 of Itasca county. Reusswig was director of the school district which covers some seventy-five townships and which employs some 150 teachers. It was suspected some time ago that some- thing was wrong with the manner in which the business of the district was carried and and an investigation was ordered by the school board which brought out several instances of irregularities and-all were traced to ituesswig. = Judge McClnnahan, who i8 presid-| gy ynitea Press. ing, stated that he would not impose Pierre, S.

Scoop Can't Draw The Inside And Outside At The Same Time ll'{q\ JACK JOHNSON STOPPED Was About to Leave the Country When He Was Taken From Train At Battle Creek. IS HELD ON FEDERAL CHARGE Battle Creek, Mich., Jan: 15.—Jack Johnson, the negro pugilist, was tak- en from a Canada-bound Grand) Trunk-train_here Tuesday, by local " | officials at the requést ot federal of- ficials in Chicago. It is feared that Johnson was attempting to “jump” his bail bond and leave the United States, the offense under the Mann law charged against him not being extraditable. Johnson was accompanied by nis wife and two negroes. According to the local officers he admitted that he was on his way to Toronto. The pugilist is being de- tained at the home of a negro friend. Johnson is said to have at first in- sisted that the local authorities had no right to detain him but when a patrol wagon came in sight he left the train without further complaint. He said he did not wish to violate any of the terms of the bond insuring his appearance in United States dis- trict court and simply intended to go to Toronto to consult with Tom Flan- agan, his former manager, regarding a proposed fight with Al Palzer in Paris . He cldimed that the latter’s manager had offered to arrange a fight for $25,000, The following ocomment on the Johnson dispatch appeared in the Minneapolis Journal in Ritchie’s cotumn: We Want to Know. Who did it? That’s what we’d like to know.

Plerre, 8. D., Jan. 15.—Although “Tack Suuy” the famous “Outlaw of tire’ Rosebud,” passed. in his checks.a number of years ago, his meteoric career casts his shadow over the thirteenth session of the South Da- kota legislature. By a peculiar coincidence of fate, three of the characters, from whose experience was molded “Langford of the ‘Chree Bars,” a famous South Da- kota story depling with the career of Jack Sully, are in Pierre—one a state senator, one n supreme court judge, and one a mere millionaire. J.'Q. Anderson, a trader from the “Crow Creek Agency,” reputed to be worth more than a million, and still conducting his little trading post, who is known to have inspired the mythical “hero”. or “Langford;"” Judge Ellison G. Smith 6f the su- preme court, who was the “Judge” in the “horse stealing cases’ that in- spired the plot of the story, and in which “Jack Sully” was immortalized, and State Senator John G. Bartine, of Oacoma, who filled the role of the “State’s Attorney,” who was handi- capped by the gang in the prosecution of their members, form the trie. These three men, lifted bodily out of a romantic past, may be seen any day in the corridors of the state house or' the lobby of the St. Charles hotel, which by a particular jest of fate was named by, and for, Charles L. Hyde, of Plerre, who had been convicted of using the mails to defraud, and sen- tenced to a term in the federal prison at Fort Leavenworth, Kas., which fact reeks not of “Saintly” qualities. RELEASE FROM SERIOUS CHARGE James Mclntyre of Kelliher, who has been held in the county jail since Nov. 23 on a charge of sodomy, was tried before Court Commissioner A. M. Crowell, yesterday, but as the evi- dence to prove his guilt was lacking he was discharged. The warrant for his arrest was sworn out by Oren Noble of Kelliher who claimed the crime was committed on Nov. 20. By “HOP*. el THE BaRN PUTA BULL ModsE, ON THE. SOUTH S1DE.
