VOLUME 10. NUMBER 230. WOMAN'S SUFFRAGE IN SENATE TUESDAY "Has Been Made Special Order of Bus- _ iness for 11:30 a. m.—Amend- ment is Proposed. THE GRAIN COMMITTEE NAMED C. M. Bendixen Made Chairman as He Introduced Resolution Call- 5 ing For a Probe. ARE CALLED “PAPER SOLDIEL. éo\mtry Members Do Not Favor Sending Governor’s Staff to Gettys- burg at State Expense. BY United Press. St. Paul, Minn., Jan. 25.—Wom- an’s suffrage will be the next im- portant matter to be considered by the solons this session. It has been made a special order of business for Tuesday at 11:30 a. m. The senate bill is by Sen. Ole Sag- eng. It has been favorably report- ed by the election committee and it is expected that it will come to a vote Tuesday. The popular belief seems to be that the present bill is all that is necessary-to give women the right of suffrage. This'is not true. The only thing the legislators can accomplish is to pass a bill providing for the submission of a proposed constitu- tional amendment to the people at the next general election. 1t is apparent, therefore, that the final decision as to equal suffrage, rests with the male voters at large, and not with the lawmakers. The fact that the lawmakers are not jeopardizing their own interests by passing the bill providing for submitting the amendment, makes it necessary to infer some other motive. The opponents of the bill have not come out openly, but the supporters anticipate that when the time comes, the so-called representatives of the brewery interests will be found on the “nay” side of the roll call. Grain Committee Named. The grain probe committee was announced by Speaker Rines in the house yesterday with C. M. Bendizen, author of the resolution asking for the investigation, as chairman. Mr. Bendizen has already announced that he proposes a sweeping investigation of the methods of the various boards of trade, the state grain commission and the terminal elevator companies. Developments will be watched with interest. Most of Friday’s session of the sen- ate was taken up with the introduc- tion of bills, although the commit- tee of the whole convened for the first time and advanced several bills from general orders to the calendar. “Paper Soldiers” Scored. In the house, the greater part of the session was taken up with de- bates over minor matters. One of these was the bill offered by Rep. R. C. Dunn of Princeton, gppropriating $30,000 for expenses in sending sur- vivors of the Battle .of Gettysburg, now living in the state, to the semi- centenial celebration to be held on the battlefield nex summer. There was no objection to the veterans go- ing, but there was considerable de- bate as to the propriety of sending along the governor’s staff, who were termed “paper soldiers” by Rep. Knute' ‘Weiald, the “home-sick” member from up-state. The .most important measure in- troduced in either body is the one by Ole_Sageng, proposing to amend the primary election law, passed during the special summer session, in such a manner as to legalize the Progess- ive party. The amendment changes the defin- ition of a “political party” by desig- nating it as a party which had can- didates and an organization at “the last preceding general election.” At present the law is that it must have been in existence for three consecu- tive elections before it is officially recognized.

Minneapolis, Jan. 25,—Visitors to the Minneaoplis nationai automobile show in the National guard armory and annex, Feb. 8-15, will see com-. Dlete lines of “automobilés,” accessor- ies, commercial vehicles both big and small, electric cars and motorcycles, spread out over twice the space avail- able for such displays in years gone by. Nearly all of the well known makes of cars will be represented by the special exhibits used in Boston, New York and Chicago shows. The Minneapolis distributors will . give splendid prominence to these special displays, and motor buyers and own- ers will in this national show have a display which more nearly represents the prominence of Minneapolis in the motor trade, than anything ever be- fore attempted. Many marked changes will be no- ticed in the popular makes of cars this year. A general - increasing of value for lower prices, is seen; many types of self-starters are found in nearly all price classes and nickel mountings, demountable rims, elec- tric lights and elaborate upholstery are quite generally shown. Left side drive with brake and gear shifting levers in the center, is still another idea which is coming to the front for 1913. = Reservations are being made in large numbers at the hotels in Min- neapolis, for it is thought the at- tendance at the show will this year far surpass anything ever experienc- circles. Buyers, agents.and factory represen- tatives will flock to Minneapolis lit- erally by the thousands, for it is a recognized fact.that this first nation- al automobile show will bring to the door of the Northwest all advan- tages, all the interest and all the educational features = heretofore en- joyed by the east, in the Boston, New York and Chicago shows. Some of the most celebrated figures in tht mo- tor .world, factory executives, sales- men, advertising men and others, will be in attendance at the show and the social side of shoow week in Minneapolis this year will be marked T (Continued on last page By “HOP* YOUNG TURKS TO TREAT FOR PEACE Situatiop Given In Dispatch Today is- Adrianople. ARE MAKING HEW CABINET New Government Finding Diffeulty in Filling the Post of Foreign Minister, BUSSIAN ACTION IS FEARED New Danger Threatens When Inter- vention Looms as & Possibility —Details of Nazim’s Death. London, Jan. 25.—Some days must elapse before the situation arising from the revolution in Constantin- ople becomes clear. So far as may be Judged, there is no intention on the part of the new Turkish governmenat to force matters or to resume hostili- tles, if any reasonable compramise with the Balkans is posaible. A dispatch from Constantinople last night says the council of minis- ters met to discuss the reply they will make to the note of the powers, and it is believed this reply, while insisting on the retention of Adrian- ople by Turkey, will point to Thurs- day’s demonstration as the real mani- festation of the national will. The new . government in finding difficulty in filling the post of foreign minister. The portfolio has been of- fered to several of the Turkish am- bassadors abroad, but thus far all have declined. Until the ministry is completed by the appointment of Sheik Ul Islam and a foreign mintster it is probable that no definite steps will be taken. Developments in ‘the situation are awaited throughout Europe with the greatest of interest in view of the fact that danger might arise through active intervention by Russia. The Balkan delegates here show no desire to precipitate the action. Killed While Talking. Constantinople, Jan. 25.—Nasim Pasha, commander ~ of the Turkish army, received his death wound while expostulating with a crowd of demonstrators for having become em- broiled in a confiict at the grand vizierate. An official version of the affray which is termed as a “regret- table incident,” was issued last night. When the demonstrators, it says, headed by Enver Bey, one of the leaders of the young Turk party, penetrated the grand vizierate in an attempt to enter the council chamber, the aide de camp to thé grand vizier fired a shot at them. The fire was returned. Then Nazim Pasha hur- ried to the ecene and began & speech denouncing the demonstrators, term- ing them as “curs.” Some one in the crowd cut short his remarks with a bullet. Besides his aide de camp, two ~ other officials were killed. Leading unionists assert that Nazim’s death was unpremeditated. “The bloo-dof Nazim Pasha,” the leader of the Turkish peace delegates said here yesterday, “is on the heads of the European powers. ~ Their un- fair attempt to force Turkey into the surrender of Adrianople has borne. its inevitable fruit.” ‘ The Turkish plenipotentiary said that the events of Thursday were to be expected by any one who knows ‘Turkey, the patriotism of her people and the spirit of her army. The Ot- toman spokesman pointed out that ‘only two of the European ambassa. dors here know by true®experience what Turkey really is. “These are Paul Cambon, the - French ambassador, and Marquis Di Francavila, the Italian ambmssador. Both, according to the Turks, tried to persuade ‘their colleagues from driv- ing the Turks to extremities. The Italian ambassador used this expression: “If we force Turkey:to give up Adrianople and her Aegean islands, the Turks will turn mw wild animals.” pooy Osman Pasha declared: “Now both ‘" the allies and the powers have bad a. - taste of what Turkey is capab) JOHNSON TO FERGUS rn.u Sherift Jobnson left this
