League Speakers Say Haste Nec-| essary to Get Money to ; Fight Cases | The house will consider a bill mak- ing an appropriation of $12,000 for the attorney-generals office in the regular order of business, An effort, to suspend rules on the bill failed late yesterday afternoon. Maddcck, of Benson, asked for the suspension of rules for his bill making, the appropriation for the office to be used between now! and July 1. The bill contained clauses stating that it was im- perative that the money be appropri-' . ated to aid in fighting the railroad rate and grain grading cases. The bill set out that great amounts of money had been saved in these mat- ters. During the debate Senator Tvvit- | chell took the floor and declared that | it was the first time he had ever seen an effort made to inject propaganda in a bill, referring to the allusions to the amount of money alleged to have been saved the state on the bills. Watt of Cass, said that he under- stood there were ample funds avail able for the use of the attorney gen- eral. Johnson of Pembina, could see no need for hurry. Patterson of Renville, league floor leader, supported Maddock. Speaker Takes Floor i Kitchen of Slope-Billings Golden Valley-Bowman, doubted the advisa | bility of suspension of the rules. He said the house was supposed to be a dignified and august body and that: the rules had been carefully drawn up to safeguard legislation.

Re DEMAND ROOMS FOR VISITORS TO THE CITY Commercial Club Secretary Says More Accommodations Are Imperative CALLS ON CITIZENS With Five Conventions Listed This Week The Need Is Usgent Bismarck visitors need accommo- lations. With the legislature in session and conventions coming to the city many reople cannot be accommodated un- ess citizens open up their homes to visitors, George N. Keniston, secre ny of the Commercial club, said to- ay. , There are five conventions listed ov Bismarck this week. They are: superintendents’ meeting, from Thursday until the end of the the Grainmen’s Union, to- state billiard and poolroom men, today; Nonpartisan league coun 'y convention, today; Nonpartisan eague station convention, January 14. 'n addition arrangements were made yesterday for a convention of the Me- chanics Mutual Benefit association here on Feb. 2 and 3. Geo. Mante- nack, of Velva, is presiednt, and Rep. J. H. Burns, of Surrey, is secretary of the convention. Mr. Keniston asks every citizen who is willing to rent a room to call 313, Commercial club. The hotels are crowded, and the ests have shown an unselfish spirit doubling up, Mr. Keniston says. It imperative that more accommoda tions be obtained. People who make a business of taking roomers filled ‘heir places long ago, and it is now ap to citizens who do not ordinarily take roomers to offer to do so, he added.

Simple Ceremony. Instead of taking the oath from a Specially built platform on the capitol building steps he suggested that it be administered quickly within the capi- tol itself and that he be left free to go to work without more adieu. The time-honored custom of deliv- ering an inaugural address which has been observed since the formation of the republic is to be retained as a part of the day’s ceremonies, but it is considered likely here ‘that it will be very brief. By his actions the president-elect ended a bitter row in congress where several influential republicans had protested vigorously against the plans of the inauguration committee to make the occasion one of the biggest quadrennial celebrations the capital has ever seen, Drop Appropriations. Not only did Mr. Harding request that the $50,000 appropriated for the grandstand seats -on the capitol | grounds be dropped but he asks that not a cent of money be spent on his induction into office. How far the inauguration officials and public will let Mr. Harding have his way remains fo be seen. To prevent a street pa- rade in honor of the new president may be more difficult. Thousands al- ready have made their plans to see Mr. Harding ride down Pennsylvania avenue. This, however, is a problem which the inaugural officials in Washington will have to cope with. William Hale Thompson, mayor of Chicago, and the center of a_ bitter fight within repubiican ranks during the last campaign, was among Pres- ident-elect Harding's callers today. ‘POOL HALL MEN URGE CIGARETTE LICENSE LAW Legislature to Be Asked to Re- peal State License Measure i Pool hall men of the state will ask | the legislature to pass a law giving } dealers permission to sell cigarettes fon the payment of $50 as a. license \tee, part of this money to go-to the ttorney general's office for tHe en- | forcement of the act. | This statement was made today by | J.
