e G e e e e ez — IMMEDIATE ACTION ON CURRENCY BILL URGED BY WILSON President Asks Congressman to Sac- rifice Personal Consideration to - Secure Revision. MAKES APPEAL IN PERSON Chief Executive Declares Legislation Necessary to Insure Benefits From New Tariff, 126 VACANT SEATS ON FLOOR Yesterday Proceedings Not Spectacu- lar as Were Those at the Read- ing of Wilson’s First Address. The currency message of President Wilson is printed in full on page two, ‘Washington, June 24.—Bearing a personal plea for immediate atcion by congress to revise the banking and currency laws, that business may be aided in meeting tariff revision, Pres- ident Wilson, for the second time, went to the house of representatives yesterday and personally read his address on the subject to both houses of congress assembled in joint session. Although shorn of some of the novelty that attended his first ap- pearance, when he upset presidential traditions of more than a century, yesterday’s visit of the president to congress took on a deeper signifi- cance. On his first visit he delivered a message, long anticipated, urging the carrying out of the party’s pledges for immediate revision of the tariff. His address yesterday was an ap- peal to every member of the house and senate to lay aside personal con- siderations and sacrifice comfort and even health is necessary to secure at once a revision and reform of the na- tion’s banking system. Only in that way, he declared, could the country secure the benefits of tariff revision soon to be completed. i Duty to Supply New System. “It is perfectly clear that it is our duty to supply the new banking and currency system the country needs and that it will immediately need it more than ever,” said President Wil- son. “Shall we hasten to change our tariff laws and then be.laggards about making it possible an easy for the country to take advantage of the change. There can be only one an- swer to that question. We must act new at whatever sacrifice to our- selves.” The president gave no direct in- dorsement to the Glass currency bill, which is to form the basis for the democratic revision of the banking laws, but in indirect language made it known that it had been prepared with his counsel and approval. “The committees of congress to which legislation of this character is referred, have devoted careful and dispassionate study to the means of accomplishing those objects,” he said in conclusion. “They have honored me by consulting me. They are ready to suggest action.” 126 Vacant Seats on Floor. Yesterday’s proceedings were far from being as spectacular as when the president made his first speech. ‘Then corridors and galleries were fill- ed to suffocation and every seat in the chamber was occupied. Yesterday the galleries were comfortably filled, but there were by actual count 126 va- cant seats on the floor. This was due, friends of the president asserted, not to lack of interest or respect, but be- cause many of the members of the house have been excused to go to their homes. It was 12:52 p. m. when Speaker Clark rapped sharply with his gaven and announced, as the senators and representatives rose to their feet: “The president of the United States.” Headed by his escort of three mem- bers of each house, the president passed rapidly to the speakers’ rost- rum. He was half way across the chamber before Senator Ollie James of Kentucky started a brisk round of handclapping, which lasted until the president took his place between Speaker Clark and Vice President Marshall. There was no delay in the prepara- ‘tions and before the members had set- tled¢ comfortably into their seats the president had launched into his pre- pared address. He spoke slowly, enumerating every word carefully #nd emphasizing his points with de- Iiberate care. It was 1:03 p. m. when the presi— dent ended his address, and as he (Continusd on iast page). .|mends that special work be devoted Wednudny Will Be Devoted to En- rollment and Real Work Will SPECIAL FEATURES ADDED It has been announced by W.

President W'hih’o! Commercial cln_b Selects Business Men Who Will Represent Bemidji. SIX FROM HERE ON THE LIST Meeting is Por Purpose of Gaining Financial :Aid for Clearing the Cutover Land. REPRESENT 5 LINES OF BUSINESS Those To Go are G. E. Carson, C. Nangle, H. C. Baet,/ @. G. Winter, W. @. Schroeder and T. S. Erwin Six Bemidji business men have been selected by A. P. White, presi- dent of the Commercial club, who will represent Bemidji at the big land clearing convention to be held in Duluth ‘a week from today, July 1. The six men selected represent five lines of business, bankers, merch- ants, newspapers, land dealers and dealers in grain and feed. Those named by Mr. White are the following: Charles Nangle, merchant, H. C. Baer, cashier Security State Bank. G. E. Carson, Pioneer Publishing company. G. G. Winter, manager Crookston Lumber company land office. W. G. Schroeder, merchant and proprietor Alfalfa Dairy farm T. S. Erwin, manager Beltrami Milling company. The chief purpose of the conven- tion is to discuss ' plans Whereby some method may be decided upon for gaining financial aid for the clearing of cutover lands in Northern Minne- sota. The convention was decided upon at the recent meeting of the Northern Minnesota Development as- sociation held at Hinckley. ‘W R, Macksnzie, ‘secretary. -of the: Northern Minnesota Development as- sociation, and Who is ‘also. secretary of the Reclamation Board was in Be- midji yesterday and is enthusiastic over the prospects of & successful meeting . at Duluth. In speaking of the convention, which is known as a Land Clearing Convention, Mr. Mac- nenzie said: “The meeting is going to be a suc- cess I.am sure. Delegates are being named in a large number of towns and they are announcing their in- tention of being present It is evi- dent that we have to do something along the land clearing line. What good does it do us-to simply sell land and then have the buyer to hard up to clear and cultivate it. We-must do something whereby we can clear the land for the purchaser. We can sell all the land we want to, but “Clear the Cutover land” should be our motto.” g ‘Busy Cleaning Lake Shore. Several men have been set to work cleaning up.the dead fish and moss Hellebore is the best poison to use after the berries are formed. This] should be applied with a spray pump, using one teaspoon of helle- bore to one gallon of water. It also gives satisfaction if applied dry by simply dusting it over the foliage while the leaves are moist. As there are from two to three broods of these currant worms a year close watch should be kept of the bushes for their reappearance. B .M. GILE, Public School Agriculturalist. P. J. Russell left yesterday for Thief River Falls where he will re- main until Friday on legal business. Tomorrow evening the ladies of the Maccabees will meet at the home of Mrs. Helena Smith in Nymore.

WILLCONSIDERNEW Clerk Stein Central Construction _Company Gives' blonmfinn BEFORE COUNCIL = MONDAY Will Again Discuss Probabilities. of Placing Plant Here—Is Not a New Method. BEEN IN SERVICE 75 YEARS. Makes Comparisons with Other Pro- cesses Now in Use and Figures Show Up Well. In reply to a communication from George Stein, city clerk, the latter _|today received a letter trom H. E. Anderson of the Central Consruction Company, representative of the Su- perior Gas Improvement company, setting forth the process used by their company in maintaining a gas plant in a place the size of Bemidji. The letter. follows: 418 West St., Wilkinsburg, Pa. City of ‘Bemidji, Bemidji, Minn. Attention to Geo. Stein, City Clerk: My Dear Sir: Your letter reached me last eve- ning. You will pardon me for go- ing back to the pen to-gpswer but it gets there: » I was pleased to learn that your city was willing to éflve us a hear- ing in regard to the gas proposition. If we do ot have the most degir- able process and one best suited :tor cities and towns, then ‘we" ask you to p.nsn us by - y E . First; m ehim 011; new but a carburetted water gas, such as has been used for about seventy-five years in different lines. ‘We merely increase the value and efficiency of the gas taken from the raw material, expediate and cheap- en the operation .and obtain a com- bined water and coal gas of the high- est efficinecy."with no remltlng res- idue or by products. ) To quote the figures of the best authority on efficiency and heat in the Pittsburgh district our gas as gen- erated at East Liverpool, Ohio, costs $.086 per ton, this includes interest on investment and depreciation. Verity that by writing to L. C. Steele efficiency engineer, Oliver Building, Pittsburgh, Pa. I could-send figures but secure them - without coming through us. Let us make a little comparison with the processes mow in use and see where we are at. From one ton of coal we make 50, 000 cubic feet of gas at a cost of less than 10 cents per thousand, in this district where we get the best grade of gas coal for less han $2.00 per ton. In your district two things would be considered there. @) Relative value of coal in heat and efficiency. (2 Relative cost of coal which would no doubt increase the cost of manufacture a few cents per thousand, yet we feel safe in saying that we can manufacture gas by our process in your district for less than half of the cost by other processes. 1 quote from a leading gas manu- facturer in the water system. “For every thousand feet of gas we use thirty pounds of seventy-two hour coke or of hard coal and then require not less than four and a halt gallons to enrich.” Oil has trippled in cost in the last 18 months and further it is impossible to get a con- tract for supply but must depend on the open market and uncertainty of delivery.” The retort or coal gas system gives from 10,000 to 12,000 cu. ft. of gas froin a ton of coal, with a result and by products of pitch, tar and am- monia liquid. “Second: We make a fixed gas. By our process we make a perfectly fixed gas and it can be carried in any distance in lines and pipes with- out loss or depreciation, except such as may be caused by frictions or de- fects in the lines. Third: Our gas is & clean gas. Fourth: . We bave arranged that any city or_industry may do buai- ness with us in their own way. First: We build and sell the plants, asking a small royalty to the Superior Gas Improvement compauy, which “we must pay for the use of GAS PROPOSITION
