With a minimum of ceremony and an atmosphere of orderliness, on the stroke of noon, staccato gavel raps by Vice President Curtis in the sen- ate and Speaker Garner in the house, signaled the beginning of the three- month session. Almost immediately the house con- - fronted the issue of prohibition—a resolution to submit straight-out re- peal of the 18th amendment to state conventions. A heavy guard at the capitol doors | was ready to prevent disturbance by demonstrators who reached the city Nye Explains His Accident Washington, Dec. 5.—(?)—From Senator Blaine (Rep. Wis.) to Senator Nye (Rep., N. D.) Monday following the senate’s short ses- sion: “You are a fine one. After win- ning the nomination and the elec- tion, to let them ditch you like that.” (Nye was infured in an au- tomobile accident near Hudson, Wis., shortly after his reelection.) From Senator Nye to Senator Blaine: “Well, I got along all right un- til I got into Wisconsin, where they have the biggest political up- sets of anywhere in the country.” (Blaine was defeated in the pri- mary.) Sunday, but with police holding them miles away no trouble was expected. Tourists were barred from sight- secing in capitol corridors because of the demonstrators, but packed galter- jes, which had been filling since early morning, looked down upon both houses. House seats were in most demand because of the heralded pro- hibition drama. G. O. P. Wets Pave Way The way was paved for this earlier in the morning by decision of the Republican wet bloc to support the speaker's repeal resolution. Some Democratic leaders were confident of sufficient support within their lines. At the senate only formalities of the opening day were observed, with adjournment in memory of the late Senators Wesley Jones of Washing- ton and Charles W. Waterman of Colorado, both Republicans, As the session began, President Hoover was busy giving a final touch to his annual message to congress, which will carry his recommenda- tions on the problems besetting the nation. The senate completed its opening session in 20 minutes and adjourned after disposing of routine formalities. Victorious Democrats and a host of defeated “Lame Duck” Republicans opened the final chapter of the Hoo- ver administration in a capital as disturbed as the issues of the period —prohibition, farm relief, finance and war debts. Beneath the restless surface of the unusual congress opening day was the Democratic current sweeping to- ward the March 4 inaugural of Presi- dent-Elect Roosevelt and death of the present congress and the Hoover ad- ministration, Democrats In Control Democrats, in control of the house and temporarily+holding a numerical superiority of one in the senate, were pointing ahead to the new administra- tion with prohibition repeal, a tax on legalized beer and farm relief as their objectives in this assembly. They and Governor Roosevelt are striving to avoid an extra session of the newly- elected congress next spring. 5 But President Hoover was sending to the printers a program of his own, outlined in his annual message to be delivered probably Tuesday, which takes no account of beer and looks to a balanced budget for the new year by other means of taxation and dras- tic economy. Bi-partisan cooperation which put through the gigantic economic relief measures of last session died with the national election campaign. War debts will be discussed, probably both in Hoover’s message and in the senate and house chambers, but no official action to extend relief to for- eign nations is expected in congress. There was a touch of pathos in the meeting presided over by Vice Presi- dent Curtis, who’ was sentenced to private life Nov. 8 with a coterie of Republican senators headed by Wat- son, of Indiana, the Republican lead- er, Smoot, of Utah; Moses of New Hampshire, and the tall, white-haired Bingham of Connecticut.

From 43 states came delegates to the annual convention of the Ameri- can farm bureau federation, largest of the three main groups of organized farmers. At almost the same hour congress convened for its short session Edward A. O'Neal of Alabama was scheduled to give his presidential address before the farm bureau. Before the three-day convention will come the weighty problems of over- whelming crop surpluses and falling prices, of foreign competition and re- stricted markets, increasing taxes and mortgage foreclosures. Demands upon congress for farm relief are expected to be renewed. The form they will take is being determin- ed by a resolutions committee, whose report is understood to be facing pos- sible delay. The equalization fee relief theory, twice vetoed by President Coolidge since its 1926 convention, has been the farm bureau's dominant proposal for controlling surpluses and increasing the cash return to the farmer for his crops and livestock. O'Neal became farm bureau presi- dent when his predecessor, Sam H. Thompson of Illinois, resigned to be- come a member of the federal farm board. A year ago he was elected to his first full two-year term. Election Contest Is Filed by Sioux Man Fort Yates, N. D., Dec. 5.—Thomas McDonald, defeated as a candidate for state's attorney in Sioux county, has filed an action contesting the election of Irvin Koths, Jacobson and Murray of Mott, at- torneys for McDonald, alleged in a complaint filed in district court that @ letter written by Koths before the election violated the corrupt practices act. If the contention is upheld by the court, Koths’ election would be held invalid and the selection of a state's attorney. would be left with the coun- ty commissioners. Hold North Dakota’ Implement Law Okay Washington, Dec. 5. — (®) — The North Dakota law of 1919 giving the r the right to try out cer- tain farm implements and to cancel the contract if the articles are found unsatisfactory, was sustained Mon- day by the supreme court. The case was brought by the Ad- vance-Rumely Thresher Company, Inc., against A. M. Jackson of Het- tinger county. ‘Report Finding of | st Arizona Mine Tucson, Ariz., Dec. 5.—(#)—Ari- zona’s “mine with the iron door,” one of the state's two reported treasures of high grade gold ore for which countless prospectors have searched in vain, was report ed located Monday. Supposedly abandoned years ago because of Indian threats or oth- er trouble, the mine was said to have been found by Charles W. McGhee, who, with a brother and @ partner, had been prospecting in the Santa Catalina mountains. Like “the lost Dutchman mine,” the “mine with the iron door” was supposed to have been aban- doned a century or more ago, Many have been the men who sought to relocate both mines and their reported valuable gold de- posits.

By PAUL HARRISON Meet the next First Family of the Land—the radiant, romantic, rising Roosevelts Twelve of them, counting “Sistie” and “Buzzy” and the rest of the grandchildren, and Grandmother Roosevelt, dowager-empress of the old family estate at Hyde Park, and mother of the president-elect. Roosevelts all, strangely alike yet remarkably individual; born in atra- dition of gentility and ease, yet reared to a pattern of practicality and service. Widely traveled, always busy, their | lives have been an endless round of places to be gone, things to be done— schools, trips abroad, vacations in New Brunswick, Canada, excursions to the west, visits to the south—liv- ing in Hyde Park, Washington, New York city. But for all that, a close and com- panionable entity, cherishing its hours together. “Home is where the family is,” says Mrs. Franklin Roose- velt, And the next First Family is often together—not in a spirit of clanishness, but in frank delight in its own comradeships. As the new history books soon will be recording, they're real aristocrats, and have been Americans since 1648. They are popularly supposed to be wealthy. But they’re not, as great riches go, even in these times. The president-elect has inherited some- thing like $200,000. His mother has a fortune that has been estimated at about $500,000, and owns the original Hyde Park estate. Mrs. Franklin Roosevelt has a small income from an inheritance. But the combined incomes of the governor and his wife, including his $25,000 salaty from New York state, have been little more than $40,000 a year.

A count and recount, made by the Legion committee in charge, disclosed that Miss Phillips received 94.800 votes to 89,000 for Miss Edith Scott and 66,000 for Mrs. J. G. Mingle. The ballots poured into the boxes Saturday night in a final rush of sup- port for the leading candidates and the totals mounted far above those indicated in previous announcements of the balloting. Ardeth Breen finished in fourth} Place with 7,900 votes, followed in or- der by Grace Elness with 6,200; Irene Brown with 2,600; Leila Bardsley with 500 and Abigail Welliver with 300. In the closing stages of the contest only the three leaders were active com- petitors for the honor. The “queen” will be the guest of the American Legion during a trip to the World's Fair at Chicago. The exact} time the trip will be made has not been determined but it may be made a part of the local post's participation in the national convention of the vet- eran’s organization to be held in Chi- cago next fall. Increased attendance at both the minstrel show and carnival was noted Saturday night and members of the committee in charge of the entertain- tment enterprise said it was a pro- {nounced success. They joined in ex- tending their thanks to the people of Bismarck and Burleigh county for their patronage and support of the; jenterprise. * JAP ARMY NEARS | SOVIET BOUNDARY, Tokyo Government Endeavors to Feel Out Moscow Re- garding Development Tokyo, Dec. 5—(*)—The Japanese army pushed to a point within 75 miles of the Soviet border in Man- jchuria Monday in its campaign j against insurgent Chinese, a situa- tion which gave the government pause jas to the attitude of Moscow. Tokyo officialdom concentrated on Russo-Japanese relations, especially in the light of the fact the Japanese troops might push on to Manchuli, the Manchurian border city. The foreign office disclosed Eiji Amoh, the Japanese charge d’affairs) at Moscow, had approached the for- eign commissar of Russia, L. M. Kar- akhan, as to the circumstances of the campaign. The charge told M. Karakhan it was necessary for the Japanese army to attack the Chinese insurgent, Gen. Su Ping-Wen, who has been holding one-fourth of northwestern Man- churia in defiance of the Japanese army, and has been keeping more than 100 Japanese as hostages. The Japanese charge also advised Russia it would be necessary to use the western division of the Chinese Eastern railway over which Russia has partial authority. The Russian commissar also was advised the Jap- anese policy was as previously out- lined, 1. e., not to injure the Chinese Eastern if possible, and repair all damage resulting from Japanese op- eration. Dispatches from Tsitsihar, Man- | churia, the base of Japanese opera- tions in the northwest, said the Jap- anese expedition had taken strategic Shedyn Pass, and was advancing through the Kinghan mountains toward Hailar. The Rengo (Japanese) news agency reported it had information that n. Su Ping-Wen, the Chinese in- srgent, had entered Soviet territory by train Sunday night. There were no details.

On three sides strong lines of blue-| coats effectively hemmed them in, blocking their way to the nation’s; capitol to which they had made plans} for a protest march to demand relief from congress.

In the three states, at least 150,000; men and women tramped the woods in | pursuit of deer and the total kill, bas-{ ed on preliminary estimates, appar- ently aggregated 75,000 animals. The number of hunters was appor- tioned equally among the three states and the deaths likewise were almost evenly distributed with the statistics giving Wisconsin 14; Michigan 10; and Minnesota 10. In Wisconsin, three of the 14 died of heart attacks caused by exertions during the hunt and several not list- ed in the Minnesota and Michigan totals were srticken similarly. Predominating in the cause of fatalities was the factor of one hunt- er mistaking another for either a deer or bear. Accidental discharge of weapons was another leading hazard. Optimistic Over Business Outlook Washington, Dec. 5.—()}—Many indications that soon there will be “more marked improvement in the manufacturing industry” and in- creased employment opportunities are seen by Secretary Doak.
