Special Congressional Commit
tee Held Meeting Today
REPORT TO Be UNANIMOUS
WILL REPORT AS ONE MAN ON
RECOMMENDATION FOR ACTION
OF CONGRESS RELATIVE TO
PRESIDENTS SECRET SERVICE
MESSAGE. ~

Washington, Jan. 6.-Another meet
ing OF the special committee of the
house appointed TO recommend action
on the references by the president to
the motives of congress in limiting the
use of the secret service force was held
today.
In contrast with the inability OF the
committee to agree on a course OF ac-
tion previous to the holidays, It is
understood that there is practically no
difference of opinion now as to what
action should oe taken, so 1t appears
that whatever the nature Of the report,
1t will be unanimous. This unanimity
applies to the democratic members,
John Sharp Williams and James Lloyd
as well as to the republican members,
James B. Perkins, Edwin DENLY and
John w. Weeks
Members of the committee have
gone over the situation carefully with
the members Of the committee on ap-
preparations, referred to by the presi-
dent in his recent message in order
that they might become conversant
with all the facts in the case. 1t is
believed that in the report Of the
special committee, a long preamble
viii set forth the results of this In
vestigation. -

NATION owns VAST
FOREST ACREAGE

Washington. Jan. 6.-The country,s
forests now cover $50. 100000 acres, or
one fourth or the total area of the
United states, according to data com
piled by forest service agents. For
ests owned by the government cover
one fourth OF the total area and con-
tain one-fifth OF the timber now
standing. Forests privately owned,
extend over three fourths OF this forest
area. Conservative numbering is pre-
dicted on 20 per cent of the forests
publicly owned and no less than per
cent OF the forests privately owned.
Senator Smoot, chairman OF the sec
tion on forests of the national con-
servation commission, states that un-
der right management, the forests will
yield four times as much as .rley do
now and also that waste can be re-
duced at least ne-third. 1t is estf-
mated that forest fifes can be stopped
at a yearly cost OF one NTH of the
value Of the standing timber burned
each year.

Bismarck. N. D.. Jan. 6. - Both
houses have adjourned for a week.
After the joint legislative session
had heard the governors message to-
day, each house convened separately.
The senate committee on committee
ships is doing some hard work to di-
vide up tie honors and apportion
chairmanships. The greatest inter-
est attaches to the head positions of
the committees on appropriations and
the judiciary. II has been fully and
finally decided beyond any possibility
OF change that Jud LaMoure will

MILITIA insists
On HOME RULE
NEW OFFICERS OF THE NORTH
DAKOTA NATIONAL GUARD
ELECTED AT MANpAN.

Mandan, N. D., Jan. 6.-The CHIEF
matter of interest before the North Da-
kota National Guard association
which met here yesterday Afternoon
and continued it's sessions today, was
the question of home rule. The mem.
| bers recommended a change in the
militia laws Of the state so the adju-
tant general can be selected by the
commissioned officers e: the guard
instead OF being appointed by the gov
ernor, They contend the importan nj
position Of adjutant general should
not be a plaything of the executive to
be handed out as reward for per-
sonal support. They insist that every
national guard in the country that has
made good progress has done 30 be-
cause of the ability of it's adjutant
general. This recommendation was
strongly put up to the legislature.
The new officers OF the association
are:
Captain Fraser, Fargo.
First Vice President. Il. Hanley,
Mandan.
Second Vice rres.dent--H. T. MUIR
ply, Bismarck.
secretary-sergt. H. z. Mitchell. Mi
not.
Treasurer Carporal Bayard, Dick
inson.
In view Of he proposed changes in
the militia laws no recommendation
on the adjutant generalship was made
and it was deemed unnecessary to
endorse Adtutant General Poole, who
will undoubtedly be elected IL the
Legislature acts favorably on the rec
concentrations of the association.
The military ball held at the arm
ory last night was the greatest social
function OF the year at Mandan. Many
of the citizens turned out to partici-
pate aand to witness the affair.
