Work of Congress.

Washington, Jan. 7. = President
Roosevelt's dismissal of the negro
troops was again the subject of conten-
ton in the senate today, and indica-
tions point to protracted debate be-
fore any of the pending resolutions on
the subject are voted on. Lodge devel-
oped new phase of the question by
presenting a resolution providing for
an investigation of the "affray" at
Brownsville and, by silence, conceding
the authority OF the president to take
the action he did. Foraker accepted
Culberson's amendment authorizing the
committee to visit Brownsville if it
desired. His resolution was supported
by Lodge in an address and opposed by
Foraker, who followed, and spoke until

would conclude tomorrow.

LAWYERS THINK new
BOOZE Law
INVALID
Will Prohibit Brewery Firms
to Solicit Orders Through
out the State.
IT IS UNCONSTITUTIONAL
Members of Bar State That
Law Will Interfere With
Interstate Commerce.

The senate bill prohibiting the solic-
iting of liquor orders in North Dakota
which recently passed the house is
unconstitutional, according to the
opinions Of leading members of the
bar in Grand Forks and elsewhere in
the state. If the bill is signed by
Governor Burke and thus becomes a
law brewery firms which have been
accustomed to send their representa-
tives out to every part of North Da-
kota for the purpose of taking orders
for booze for future delivery, will
have to crest on their oars" figura-
lively speaking, and wait for the Or
ders to come in-at least this will be
the status of affairs until the supreme
court makes ruling, for the liquor
dealers claim they will take the law
to the highest court in the land.
Prominent lawyers who have given
the matter thought state that I'M
doubtedly the law will be declared
unconstitutional when test case is
brought to the attention of the supreme
court The matter is one relating to
the Jurisdiction possessed by state
with reference to the commerce car
ried on with an adjoining state. The
law, 1t is stated, will interfere with
interstate commerce over which the
national law makers alone have any
powers.
The first arrest made under the re-
striction law will be made the basis
of test case.

Is Getting the Pavement In Fair.
~ Good Condition.

THE cold nights bother us to some
extent in freeing the streets from the
surplus water which collects in the
cutters after the days thaw." said
Street Commissioner Durick this morn
ing.
The street department has a large
force of men at work every day dig
ging waterways along the curbstones
and thus affording channels for the
escape of the water which collects in
pools along the streets. At night the
water freezes and in many places the
men have to go over the same work
several consecutive days. However
the streets are in fair condition and a
few more warm days will serve to re-
move all the extra snow from the
thOroughfares.
