tributed to cause the turn over here.
The Democrats gained strength and
courage from the Democratic gain in
the State election last September and
from their own accomplishments a
year ago when Mr.. Hughes lacked
only 16 votes Of winning the mayoral-
ty honors. They argued that Mr.. AL
Ian. who is but 80 years of age and
came here from Washington. D. c.,
eight years ago, is inexperienced all
though he has served a year in each
branch of the city government. The
fact that so many councilmen were
elected was accounted for by the al
legged refusal of the Republican candi-
dates for the council in those wards to
sign Democratic nomination papers.

RESUME 0FWORK ACCOMPLISHED
Shows Total Appropriation of $780,.

Is For Annual Expenditures.

washington, March 4-With a new record
for large appropriations and far-reaching leg
lslation, the 59th Congress was brought to 2
close shortly after noon today. The last few
hours were calm, in fact tame by comparison
with what had been expected Long before noon
Senator Gallinger's fight for the passage Of the
ship subsidy bill had been abandoned and the
filibuster against it conducted by Senator Car
mack being no longer necessary, he surrendered
the floor, much to the disappointment of the gal
leries. Extreme fatigue due to continued night
sessions in the House during the last week.
had dampening effect upon many congress-
men and the usual excessive "last day enthusi-
aSm" was confined to less than half the men,
bership.
Despite these conditions the audiences in both
houses were as large as they have ever been.
One of the interesting features incident to the
close of the Congress was the visit Of President
Roosevelt, who, with his cabinet, White House
staff and number Of guests, occupied the Pres
ident's room in the Senate wing. Seated at a
big table in the center Of the room he signed
bills as they were enrolled and presented to
him. On account of the dispatch with which
business has been conducted during the past
week, there were only 40 bills to be signed
today.
When the members of the committee which
waited upon him with the information that
Congress was ready to adjourn, had delivered
their message the President thanked them for
the laws they enacted, but he added with
smile, that he still had several bills that would
be heard from in the future. This amounted to
good natured but direct notice to Congress that
he had not abandoned the several recommended
lions for legislation which had not met with the
Congressional favor this session.
In addition to the songs and stories that usu-
ally mark the close Of a session, there was a
beautiful picture formed by the entire House
rising and waving flags and singing my
Country IT'S of Thee as the gavel fell at 1915
Pm.
In the Senate the last Of the proceedings was
the speech by the Vice President prior to adj
journment at 1915 P. M. His remarks were
applauded by thousands of visitors, and the
applause continued as the audience watched
with interest the farewells of senators on the
floor.

INVESTIGATING THE
HARRY F. ADAMS
CASE
Additional Links in Chain of
Evidence Gathered in Grand
Forks Sunday.
Additional Links in Chain of

Homer Resler, the we'll known at
torney and editor of Starkweather,
was in Grand Forks Saturday even
ing and Sunday looking up matters in
connection with the Harry Adams
case. Harry Adams is the Snowman
supposed to have been killed in the
wreck of the Oriental Limited at Bart
lett.
While in Grand Forks Sunday Mr..
Resler traced up several clues in con-
nection with the case, and also found
a watch which he supposes was car
ried by the supposed dead man. This
watch, with gun metal case, was in
the hands of Chief Lowe. 1t is badly
burned, but part of the face remains
and there is a possibility that Mrs.
Adams, who is at Rock Lake living
with her father, will be able to iden-
tify it as the one carried by her miss
ing husband.
Mr.. Resler also interviewed r. B.
Moen of the Minneapolis Thresher
company while here and he also saw
Archie Sanders, who is still in the
Deaconess hospital as the result of a
broken leg sustained in the wreck
Both of these men were on the ILL
fated train, riding in the smoking car
in which the loss of life occurred
They remember seeing a man lying
on a seat in the front part of the
coach, with hat drawn over his face
and head resting on sort Of pill
low. A photograph of the missing man
was partially identified by both men
on account of the hair, it being some
what curly. Mrs. Adams states that
her husband carried a pillow which
he used on trains, being obliged to
travel considerably while with various
shows.
The Adams case is rather peculiar
one. Mr.. Adams was with the "Vir-
ginian," and while that company was
enroute from Winnipeg to Superior,
Mr.. Adams went to the manager ask
ing to be paid off, he having just re-
ceived word that his child was i'll. He
left the train in Grand Forks. Miss
Sou Maloney of the ingalls, house has
made affidavit to the effect that Mr..
Adams was at the ingalls, house the
evening of the wreck, and that he had
left the hotel to go to the depot and
catch the train which was later wreck
ed. On the scene of the wreck
bunch of keys and a fruit spoon, both
identified by Mrs. Adams as belonging
to her husband, were found.
Mr.. Resler became interested in the
case through his friendship for the
Adams family, being an old time
friend of the father of Mrs. Adams.
He has been working hard on the
case for some time past, and has sue
ceeded in clearing up a number of
points.

CITY COUNCIL MAY
HOLD Up W,A,J0Y
RESIGNATION
Otherwise. Special Election
Will Be Necessary-Pro-
visions of City Charter.

1t is rumored today that the city
council will not accept the resigna-
ton of Alderman Willis A. Joy, presi-
dent of the body. If Mr.. Joy is in
sistant, however, it is hoped to hold
OF the action on the resignation until
late in the fall.
BY so doing, the expense and labor
incident to special election will be
done away with, and the board of al
dermen will be given the appointment
of a successor according to the pro-
visions of the city charter as follows:
IF a vacancy occurs in the Office of
alderman by death, resignation or
otherwise, within six months prior to
the next city election, the board of
aldermen shall appoint person to
fill such vacancy from the ward from
which the alderman previously hold
ing was elected or appointed; If
earlier, then such vacancy shall be
filled by election"
council for three years. He has been
an earnest worker and his withdrawal
came as a thunderbolt from the sky.
He remains silent as far as giving rea-
sons for his action. "The Evening
Times misquotes me in saying that I
would let the people judge for them
selves" said he today.
In case the city council holds up
the resignation, Mr.. Joy will keep his
seat despite any action which he may
take. The city charter says:
Aldermen shall hold their
Offices for two years and until
their successors are elected
and qualified"
The next city election will be held
in the spring OF 1908, and if the coun-
Gil accepts the resignation before the
six months priority limit, "a special
election will be held in the First ward.

Mrs. Harry Canniff of this city on

At the time of the recent accident
Mrs. Canniff was standing on the plat

pot, went off with loud noise. The
sudden din so frightened Mrs. Canniff
that she backed off the platform, fall
