The house did not tolerate for long another basic-science bill, which pro- posed certain pre-educational require- ments for persons practicing the healing art in the state. A similar bill which had passed the senate pre- viously was kilied by the hese. Mon- day the new house bill was voted for indefinite postponement, 5% to 59, with the “clincher” attached. The bill was introduced Saturday by the) committee on delayed bills. A proposal by Edwin Traynor, Ramsey, permitting voluntary hail in- surance, separation of hail taxes from general taxes and prompicr payment | of claims was placed in general orders despite strenuous objection by Non- partisans. The vote was 59 to 52. Say.

The pair of suspenders which Hol- mes had looped around his neck and strangled himself with without mak- ing the slightest outcry or struggle was the only exhibit offered as evi- dence. Ends Armistice Affair The death of Holmes rings dovn the curtain on a tragedy that began: last Armistice day when Holmes is said to have run amuck and fatally stabbed Peipkorn, deputy; sheriff who had come to arrest him for the wounding of two Wing men, following a family quarrel. He was recently granted 2 change in the place of trial from Burleigh to Stutsman county. * He was to have been tried on a first degree murder charge at Jamestown March 17.

The seat of the opposition to the creation of two distinct districts lies in the Cass county delegation in both the house and senate, arid this despite the fact shat L. L. Twichell, I. V. A. leader from Cass county, is said to have admitted privately that the east-west arrangement would be fair and proper. Another factor in the Cass county attitude may be that of personal am- bition. Senator A. W. Fowler, Fargo, has ambiyons to be congressman, if the stories which are being bruited about contain even a little truth. Fowler denies this, although the de- nials are not very emphatic. Unless the situation’ can be re- solved, it appears that a recent pre- diction by Frank Ployhar, Valley City, I. V. A. senate leader, may come true. Ployhar's prophecy was that the congressional reapportionment question will not be settled until the closing hours of the current session. Burtness On Short End Congressman O. B. Burtness, first cistrict I. V. A., has let it be known tnat he favors an east district and a west district and has given‘ his rea- sons. To date, however, he has been unable to muster as much strength in the I. V. A. caucus as the Cass county delegation and the latter have keen engaging in an attempt to make action by a majority of the caucus binding on all members of the fac- tion. , There is where the bitterness comes in, and the prospect Tuesday was that such an effort would fail. The bill for a north-south division was killed in the senate at the request. of Senator J. P. Cain, Dickinson, one of its sponsors. Cain said that he had come to the belief that it would be to the ad- vantage of the state to provide no icgislation for re-districting, so that the next election for congressmen in the state would be at large. One Bill Recommended . A committee report recommending for passage the bill reapportioning the state's 49 legislative districts was adopted by the house without com- ment. ¥ Efforts to indefinitely postpone the east-west congressional redistricting bill introduced by Swett, failed in the house, and the bill was placed in gen- eral orders along with the Olafson pill, In placing Swett's bill in general | orders, the house rejected a majority |committee report for indefenite post- | Ponement and adopted a minority re- port, a privilege which the house has | exercised frequently of late. The vote was 54 for indefinite postponement and 56 against.
