ing the efforts of Judge Cowan's
friends to prevent it, vote was TAX
en- in the house Thursday afternoon

slider the vote on the resolution for
Impeachment proceedings. The

who introduced the measure, believ-
ed it was the duty of the house to in
vestigate the serious charges made.
Mr.. Streeter, who moved the recon-
sideration said the impeachment or
removal from Office was a question
of the voters of the district. Mr..
Hawkinson of Towner, said the SEN
timent in the district was in favor Of
removal. The question was debated
at considerable length by Messrs.
Price, Ployhar, Holmes, Sorli and
Morrison. A number of members
spoke both for and against the pro-
ceedings.

THE LEGISLATURE
THE COWAN INVESTIGATION.
BILLS PASSED AND
KILLED

Bismarck, Feb. 1.-THE report OF
the committee, recommending that
hte capitol building be rebuilt
was before the senate last week.
The minority of the committee had
report, signed by Chairman Ken
nedy, against the rebuilding on the
ground that there was no necessity
for it at present. The senate took
this view and voted against the
majority report, 81 to 10, this putting
to sleep any expectations of rebuild
Ing the state capitol for the present.
The Cowan Investigation
The committee to investigate the
charges against Judge Cowan of Dev-
lis Lake appointed by Speaker Han
ley, is O. P. Jordal of Sheridan coun-
ty, as chairman, with Dosseth of
Mountrail, Cunningham of LaMoure,
Boerner of Mercer, Andrus of Ran
som, Moritz of Cavalier and O'Con-
or of Pembina as the other members.
This committee is charged with max
ing an investigation into the charges
reporting back the evidence and rec
concentrations before the fiftieth day
of the session.
Bills That Have Become Laws
A message from the governor an
nounced that house bill No. 2, pro-
hibiting introduction of intoxicating
liquors, narcotics or other habit-form-
ing drugs on the grounds of penal

relating to terms of court in second

signed.
Senate
Two bills regulating the speed and
providing for signals on automobiles
and the Trimble insurance bill took
up the time of the senate Saturday
afternoon until five o'clock when an
adjournment was taken until Tuesday
afternoon at o'clock. The Trimble
bill was defeated.
The Bessesen bill, providing that
all automobiles shall have bells, horns
ny
final passage caused a good deal of
amusement and there was consider
able comedy in the debate, but it
was finally carried by vote of 80 to
2, and there was also debate over
the bill presented by Mr.. Bassesen
regulating the speed of automobiles
in city and county. The bill was
finally killed, as it was impossible
to make those senators who had ma
chimes believe that 25 miles an hour
on country roads was excessive, and
those members who do not own ma
chimes thought that was rather fast,
but number had never been in a
machine going at that rate and were
not prepared to give an opinion.

ST. Paul. January pa bill intro
duced by Senator Nelson of Fillmore
will cause lot of saloons i'm all sec
tons of the state to lose their IL
censes. if the measure is enacted.
The last session passed an act pre-
scribing that saloons should be linn
tied to one for every 500 inhabitants.
1t made provision, however, that
where the number of saloons al
ready in existence exceeded that
ratio, they should be allowed to con,
tinue business, subject to the laws
and regulations of the cities in
which they operated. The measure
introduced by the Fillmore senator
this morning eliminates that pro
vision.
Senator Nelson introduced another
measure providing that in no city
in the state should a saloon license
be issued for less than $1,000 A few
now grant license for $500.

INDUCED in Language That Shocked
Sensibilities of the Judge.
The civil case of Lyman Faulkner
the municipal court yesterday after
noon was not as dry and uninterest-
ing as are most civil cases. The
case involved the division of some
grain and before the action had gone
very far it became a complicated
problem in arithmetic that caused
the court and jury to scratch their
heads and think at high speed.
Gustave Jesse furnished much
amusement in giving his testimony.
He has some trouble in handling the
English language but when he once
got to talking, the powers of counsel
and Judge failed to stop him. He
paid no attention to the attorneys
questions but told whatever he want
cd TO.
The powers of common language
having failed to convey the impress
sion he sought to have understood,
Jesse became visibly profane. This
was too much for the judge, who
threatened to impose fine for con
tempt of court. The defendant went
sorrowfully back to real common
talk aud left out all lofty fights OF
rugged speech. The jury was out
but a short time and returned a
verdict in favor of the plaintiff for
the sum of $35.17.

anything, according to President La-
cius F. Clark of the Minnesota indie
pendent Telephone association, which

Eye on Legislation.
President Clark said officers of the
association, who also constituted the
executive board, would watch any
proposed legislation affecting their
lines and head off, any attempt to
enact laws which would take away
their business and give it to the
larger companies.
]. B. Ware, secretary of the Ma
tional Independent Telephone associ
alton, suggested it behooved the as
ISOLATION, through its officers, to
watch legislation, and said if a pub
lie utility measure such as the one
under which Wisconsin is operating
could be passed it would be a good
thing for the independents, but they
should be careful to see the meas

The cOuncilmen, many OF whom
are expert at the game, demurred at
first. The women declared they
would not let man leave the hall
until the law was passed. The cOun-

in the morning, and finding the WON
en- in earnest passed an ordinance
making the game misdemeanOr,
punishable by fine of $40 and ten
days in Jail.
The pitching of dollars had become
dug about fifteen feet apart. The
game consists of an attempt to throw
dollars SO as they will alight square

joined in the game.
The play was for large stakes at
times and often wagers would be
