A. the Amusement Places and 9th.
er Places of Business Are Con-
cerned.

Grand Forks, N. D., Nov. 1.-The
city council has taken the first steps
towards officially making Grand Forks
"wide-open" city by removing all
restrictions from Sunday business, in:
cluding the operation OF theatres,
pool rooms, etc. The matter first
came up in the form Of an ordinance
drawn up by City Attorney Feetham,
prohibiting the operation of card
rooms and billiard or pool rooms on
Sunday. The ordinance was turned
down by a vote of six to four, lack
ing two of the necessary number.
The second ordinance, prohibiting the
operation of Sunday theatres; was
also turned down by the same vote.
The council then passed an ordin-
ance on. the first reading repeating
the present ordinance covering Sun
day observances. This leaves the city
without any Sunday ordinances what
soever. The matter occasioned one
of the liveliest discussions the Grand
Forks council has ever engaged in.
The council also adopted the reso.
luton Of the ways and means CON-
n1ittee providing for a special cleo
ton Nov. %. for $155,000 bond issue
for waterworks improvements, and a
commercial lighting plant.

New York, Nov. 2.-The features Of
todays election were general absence
of disorder and rapidity with which
vote was cast, Notwithstanding. un-
wieldly and complicated ballots. AL
though many arrests were made for
violation of the election law, the
greater part of these were found to
be due to clerical errors or misun-
derstanding. The professional re-
peater and guerilla were chiefly not
able by their absence. Credit for
these satisfactory state of affairs was
given large to new signature law, put
into practice for the first time in
New York municipal election. Under
this law, every voter after receiving
his ballot is compelled to write his
name and have it compared with the
signature which he made at time of
registration.
If ever the New York election was
we'll watched, it was today. Every
polling place had its full quota of
watchers, including nearly 1000 col.
lege students from Columbia, Yale,
Princeton and other nearby institu-
tions, who were distributed through
out greater city. The entire police
of 10,1Uu men, was on duty before
daylight, the majority of them at pol
ing places, with squads of plain

Three CITIES ARE
BIDDERS FOR THE
next CONVENTION

New Orleans, Nov. 2.-Whether or
not there ever will be another con-
vention of the Lakes to the Gulf Wa
terways Association depends on what
action congress takes at the next ses-
sion.
The committee of 500, it is hoped,
will induce the national assembly to
produce funds for the project. But
if congress does not then, the execu-
tive committee of the association is
authorized to select the place of the
meeting of the next convention and
fix the day. This was decided on at
the last session of the association
this afternoon. st. Paul, St. Louis
and Chicago are the only cities which
have made formal bids for the next
convention.
