REVIEWS APPEAL FOR AID
Chicago Minister Tells of the suffer-
ing of People in Fin
land.

John Falkner, Lutheran minister OF
Chicago, has been prompted by a letter
from a friend in the stricken district, to
renew his appeal to Nebraskans and others
for aid for the perishing people of Finland.
In letter sent The Bee 1t is stated that the
Finland crops are a total failure; that no
pen can describe the suffering already ex-
listing and that according to reports from
reliable sources. 100000 people, or one
sixth the population of Finland. will die
from hunger unless prompt aid is extended
them" The letter received by Rev. Falk-
ner from his friend in Finland contains
accounts OF the death of whole families
from cold and starvation and indicates that
religion and raw bark are about all that
others have left to sustain them.

COLORADO FIGHT CONTINUES
Some Democrats May BE Unseated, but
Deadlock on Senatorial EIec-
tiOn Seems Certain.

DENVER, Colo, Jan. 1S.-Interest in the
senatorial fight in Colorado centers in the
report of the house elections committee in
vestigating the contests filed against seven
teen democrats. The matter was in the
hands of the elections committee for several
days, and while positive evidence has been
brought that frauds were committed in
several precincts of Arapahoe county, the
large majority received by the democrats,
ranging from 1000 to 5,OOO will be hard
to overcome in every instance. The report
will be made to the house tomorrow.
Chairman Breckenridge, a republican,
chosen by agreement with the antiwolcott
members and the democrats, in an inter-
view said he believed there would be two
reports, a majority report by the repub-
licans, who control the committee, and
one by the minority members.
He thought both sides would stand to-
gether. but did not want the inference
drawn that in the end the entire seventeen
democrats would be ousted
It is the general opinion that those DEM
ocrats whose majorities reached close to
the maximum will be allowed to retain
their seats, but the others will be thrown
out. 1t also is believed that the unseating
OF the entire seventeen, which Mr.. VOL
colts supporters demand, would give them
the balance of power in the house. But
should this be done, and the threat of the
democrats, who control the senate, to un-
seat every republican senator, be carried
out, the result would probably be a dead
lock, for the senate, then unanimously
democratic, would refuse to enter a joint
session.
On Tuesday the legislature meets in joint
session to ballot for a successor to Senator
Teller. The equal division of the repub-
licans for and against Senator Wolcott
remains intact. with no apparent hope OF Q
change between now and Tuesday.
SALEM, Ore, Jan. 1s.-Balloting fol
United States senator will begin on Tues
day next. On the first ballot, it is con,
ceded, c. w. Fulton will lead with abou
thirty votes. Ex-Governor T. T. Geer will
probably stand second, with close to twenty
votes. Jonathan Bourne and Binger Kerr
mann will have from six to ten each.

'ropOsiti'n is to Limit Debate to Single

HENDMENTS ARE NOT TO Be ALLOWED

Important Matters.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 1s.-The indications
are that the present week will witness the
passage by the house Of an anti-trust meas
ure prepared by the judiciary committee
The subcommittee which has the matter in
hand expects to have the bill ready to re-
port on Tuesday and no delay Is expected
in the full committee. 1t Is still possible
that a separate measure will be reported
to cover the publicity features.
AS soon as the measure OF measures are
reported everything will be sidetracked and
they will be brought before the house. The
leaders already have agreed to this course
and special order for consideration will
be prepared.
No decision will be reached as 70 tho
length of time which will be allowed for
discussion or whether opportunity will be
given for amendment. The democrats will
desire extended debate, but owing 10 the
latencss OF the session It is not probable
that more than two days at most will be
allowed. 1t is more likely 20 be a single
day. At least the members of the subcom-
mittee are of opinion that a day will be
ample. The admission OF amendments pre-
sents many difficulties and in order to pre-
vent a food of propositions OF all sorts
the rule win limit the amendments at least
to those pending when the time allotted
for consideration expires.

the time Of the house to the exclusion of
everything else IL the antitrust bill does

WHEAT MUCH BETTER
RECENT WEATHER IN THE VALLEY HA,
.-.-- BEEN VERY BENEFICIAL

Grand Forks, N. D., Aug. 1.--E. W. Knee
land, superintendent of the Duluth Elevator
company, has just returned from an inspec-
ton trip over the Red River valley on both
sides Of the river. -. $3.50, -:
Mr.. Kneeland stated that he believed that
the Red River valley would produce more
wheat than 1t did last year. The yield last
year was cut down in many sections to very
low yield by several hail storms, something
that has done but very little damage this
years so far. ~"
The weather could not be better than it
has been for two weeks" said Mr.. Kneeland,
"for growing crops. Wheat is filling nicely,
and while the straw will be light the yield
will be surprising. The crop is spotted and
there Is some that Is hardly worth harvest
Ing, but there Is much more good wheat than
there Is bad, and would not be surprised to
see a yield over the state Of from ten to
| twelve bushels to the acre" - -
The railroad companies keep pretty close
tab on the crop situation. and the Great
Northern officials have received reports
| that have been sufficiently encouraging as to
| convince them that there will be a, ten -bushel
crop from the state this year This would
mean that ten bushels per acre will be
shipped in addition to the home consumption,
and what will be retained for seed. On the
whole the situation Is very promising, and
the past few weeks has added much to the
chances Of the state for a fair crop. 49,

ITS LAWS CHANGED.
Trades and Labor Council Adopts
New Constt ution With I'm
portant Changes.
It Is Now the Trades and Labor As
semb1y Manner Of Rep
resentation.

y There was a. special meeting OF the
Trades Council Wednesday evening, to
consider and adopt the new constitution
and bylaws. Perhaps the most impor-
tant change effected is in the manner Of
representation and dues. Under the new
order Of things each union will be entitled
to send five delegates to the council and
all unions affiliated. will have to pay dues
for that number. whether they send them
or not. The famous political amendments;
which caused SO much stir when first In
troduced, were stricken from the constit,-
ton without opposition. A registry clerk
has been appointed whose duty 1t will be
to register delegates as they pass into
the hall, and In this way much valuable
time consumed by the roll call every
meeting night will be saved for business.
Special cards have: been prepared and will
be stamped for each meeting, SO that the
delegates card will show HIS record OF
attendance.
| A matter which brought out consider
able discussion was the amendment to
change the method Of taking referendum
| votes. Hereafter. instead Of the vote o.
| each union counting as unit, the full
vote upon any proposition will be returned
to the assembly, and the side Of the ques-
ton receiving a majority Of all votes cast
will win. The principal objection ad-
| vanced against It's adoption was the feal
| that the larger. unions would be able tt
| decide all questions referred to a refer,
endum vote without regard to the smalle,
unions. - ..,. ~. t.|..- 49,. -t
