BRITISH ISLES DAMAGED BY WIND AND RAIN 17 Killed, Many Injured, in Storm Whieh Started Fri- day and Is Still Raging London, Jan. 29.—(#)—From the south of England tothe northern tip of Scotland, cities and open spaces alike were damaged by a great wind and rainstorm which began yester- day and was still in progress today. Seventeen persons were killed and a large indefinite number injured. The property damage was éxtensive. Scotland appears to have been hard- est hit, eight deaths being reported from Glasgow, with 100 persons in- jured. The storm swept over Ireland, do- ing considerable damage in Dublin, where scores of p ns were in- jured. Although London was kept awake throughout the night by the sound of breaking glass and crashing signs, the rain coming down in torrents all the | while, no serious damage in the city was reported. FLOUR LABEL, | BILL ACTION | IS POSTPONED Murphy Moves Delay Until Tuesday to Await Appear- ance of Group of Millers Efforts to put the flour label bill before the senate failed Friday in the committee on state affairs. The bill flickered from the center ef the stage when, on motion of Sen- ator P. J. Murphy, Walsh county, its consideration was further postponed until Tuesday afternoon. Murphy in- sisted that the postopnement be made that a delegation of millers might ap- pear before the committee. Frank, E. Ployhar, chairman, pro- tested firther delay because of the flood of bills the committee has be- fore it that demand attention, and further pointed out that millers who are said to oppose the bill have twice failed to appear at special hearings set, Murphy was confident, héwover, that the delegation will arrive Mon- day or Tuesday. Amendment Adopted Over the objections of Senator D. H. Hamilton, McHenry county; the committee did consider the bill long enough to adopt an amendment that the labels, which the bill would re- quire on all flour sold in North Da- kota, need not show the amount of protein, in the flour. According to those who support the measure, thi eliminates the objections of the ma- jority of the small millers of the state. Senator Hamilton, however, strong- ly opposed the amendinent, declaring that it takes the heart out of the bill. Its passage, as amended, would mean little, he-said. Hamilton has been the chief opponent of the bill in the committee. It is believed that the committee may report the measure back with- out recommendation, or submit a di vided report, Prospects of an agree- ment in the committee are unfavor- able. The bill is éxpected to pass the senate with the support of a few Independent senators, although the Nonpartisans_ will probably present a divided front: In the house, op- ponents. of the bill are already or- gahizing the campaign agpinst it. ———— : England Reported to Have Offered Proposal to China (Continued from page one) mediate steps to abrogate existing un- equal treaties.

Home Rule Bill Independents contended that it was merely a home rule bill to give officers of political subdivisions the right to exercise their own judgment. hey pointed out permit insurance on public buildings to be carried outside the state fund and denied that was in any way in- tended to cripple state operation. “Why should we give the power to control the actions of local officials to a state department here in Bis- marek?” demanded L. L. Twichell, majority floor leaders, who led the fight for the measure. “It is only fair that local boards shall say how much insurance they will carry on their buildings.” A bill by George Aljets, Wells county, to turn over to counties all moncy collected from fines was de- feated in the judiciary committee and the committee’s report adopted after a brief fight on the floor. A concur- rent resolution, which was a compaion bill, also was —_re- jected. The resolution would provide for submission —_to the people of a constitutional amend- ment which would be necessary to make the bill legal. The constitu- tion now requires that money col- leeted from fines assessed for viola- tion of the state laws be turned Over to the state common school fund. contended that by ‘turning ey over to the counties, coun- ty officials would be interested in collecting the fines which now go ficers are not interested in building up the school fund. Situation Not Acute Chairman - Cox of the judiciary te was unanimous in agrecing that the ‘situation is not sufficiently acute to justify taking it people and the measures were jected for that reason. $ A. W. Fowler, Cass county, sai there were several technical diffi- culties which would cause the bill to react in a manner favorable to large cities with police courts, The house Friday resurrected a bill, killed Thursday, and restored to the calendar. villages and cities to select their of- ficial newspapers without regard to the official county newspaper. It will be considered today imme- diately following the bill permitting insurance statements to be printed in any: legal newspaper. The bill per- taining to insurance statements also was killed once and then resurrected. Chaff From the . Legislative Mill Political affairs can at least play a trick or two with names, the roll call of the state senate proves. To an uninitiated person the: several opportunities for confusion of names in that body, all because of a coincidenee of names of senators and counties. There is Senator Benson and “The gentleman from Benson;” Senator Stecle and “The gentleman from Steele”’—four separate individual Senator John W. Benson hails fro: Rolette county and Senator Alfred Steele represents Stutsman county, The “gentleman! from Benson” i; Senator C. W. Fine while the “gentle- man from Steele” is Senator P. Sathre. In addition there are a trio of Senators Olson. They afte O, A. Ol- son of Burleigh county.- C. J. Ol- son of Burnes county and O. H. Ol- son of Eddy county, They are not, however, related. re- Legislative days are growing lon- eer.
