HoUsE-sEARcH AND SEIZURE
BILL AND OTHER PROHIBITION
MEASURES PRESENTED.

Bismarck, Feb. 1.-The legislature
resumed today after the weeks recess.
Owing to the trains being irregular

many will not be able to get here un-
til tomorrow or Saturday.
Notwithstanding the fact that many
members are still absent, those who
were more fortunate i'm reaching the
city got down to business at once.
Owing to the fact that but a limited
time remains in which the volume of
business before the legislature must be
transacted the members will work
overtime in grinding out new laws that
are demanded by the constituents Of
the legislators.
After the house was called to order
the roll call was passed and the house
was down to business in short order.
To start the ball rolling after the
recess, fifteen bills were put into the
hopper of the house, many of which
are among the most important TO be
introduced thus far.

be presented was one providing for the
search and seizure of intoxicating
liquor imported in the state.
Another provides for the use of
fines collected in the police courts and
provides that fines collected i'm the po-
lice courts up to 81 900 be devoted to
the liquor prosecution fund instead of
the school fund
Another bill provides that the state
treasurer shall collect all bills due the
twine factory at the state penitentiary
instead of the warden of the peniten-
tiary. This bill is one drafted by the
insurgents of the house
Another bill provides for the Office
of state fire marshal.
Another provides for boiler inspec-
tion law.
Another important prohibition
hrreasure provides that all liduor
| licenses issued by the United States
| in this state be registered and pub
| lished broadcast throughout the state
and that the authorities publish all
such licenses in the newspapers.
| Another bill introduced provides for
the appointment of deputy county
superintendent of schools in counties
with over 10000 inhabitants. This
will effect Ward and Cass counties
and give the two counties deputies il
the bill passes.
The senate met during the after
noon with Senator LaMoure in the

Either Reject Canal Bid
or Sterns Resigns.
GOVERNMENT UP AGAINST IT
MATTER OF AWARDING THE CON-
TRACT TO OLIVER & CO. TO DIG
THE PANAMA CANAL MEETS
WITH ANOTHER OBSTACLE TO-
DAY.

Washington, Feb Z. The admin
istration IS face to face with the alter
native of rejecting the Panama Canal
bids, or losing the services Of Chief
Engineer Stevens. Friends of Stevens
have told him if the canal was built
by the contract he would lose the
credit of the work. Stevens is obdu-
rate and indications are that the adj
ministration will aecede to his request.
This is the reason for the delay Of
the administration in accepting the
bids of Oliver e. Co. A conference
between Secretary Taft and the presi-
dent is being held on the matter today.
