SCOUTS IDEA Of
SPECIAL SESSION
Governor Eberhart Not in Ac-
cord with Idea of Having
Railroad Legislation

Bemidji, Mimi, June 12.-"It is
folly to talk Of assembling the legisla-
ture in extraordinary session at this
time to consider railroad legislation" J"
Is the position taken by Governor A.
o. Eberhart, who arrived in Bemidji
Saturday, in replying to demands for
such action emanating from Duluth.
The demand had to do with the pas
senger rate increases.
There could be no valid reason
for attempting to bring about rail-
road legislation at this time Of the
year." continued the governor, ''for
the very reason that such an effort
would be extremely unwise, because
the courts have vet to give us final
decision on the questions at issue.
Anyhow, the questions were consider
ed by the recent legislature"
The governor was even more pos
tive in stating his position relative to
the case Of F. A. Whittier, superin-
tendent Of the boys training school.
Whatever Mr.. Whittier or his friends
may do, this much is certain he said,
that this matter Is going to be given
not only thorough and complete but
speedy investigation, and this inves-
tigation will not be confined to the
boys training school alone. Mr.. Whit
tier has requested a hearing and he
certainly will be given every oppor-
tunity for a fair and prompt investi-
CATION"

Attempt to Resume the Work
Met With A Partial Success

Philadelphia, Pa, June 1.-THE at
tempt of the management of the Bald
win Locomotive works, where a
strike began last week, to resume
work in all departments today, met

mated that only 1000 out of 10000
reported for work.
The departments closed today are
the boiler, flange. paint and flue
shops.
The machine shop is working al
most normal.
The union leaders conducting the
strike express hope that an amicable
adjustment of differences will soon
be reached.
The Central Labor Union has en-
dorsed the strike at the Baldwin Lo-
comotive works and pledged assist
ance to the strikers.
National officers of the various
unions are here to advise the men.
Labor leaders assert that there is
a community Of interest between the
car men and the Baldwin employees,
stating that since the recent reor-
ganization Of the locomotive company
the same financial interests are in
control of the two companies.

South Bend, Ind, June 12.-speak-

school Of the University Of Notre
Dame, Gov. Judson Harmon of Ohio
discussed the ethics of the legal pro-
fession and declared that the desire
for wealth was the chief source Of
danger to the profession. TO the
young lawyers he said In part:
Listen to no one who suggests that
morals concern the clients only, while
you have to do with legal rights alone.
It is true that one may do moral
wrong BY enforcing Q legal right,
and In such cases the lawyer does not
necessarily share the blame. And
there is no substance In the charge
that lawyers become lax Of conscience
because they sometimes uphold the
side Of case which proves to be the
wrong side. But when lawyer dis
covers that his client is willing to
succeed in ignoble methods or be-
comes convinced that the law is plain

"The chief source Of danger to the

ment to Bill.

Washington, June 10.-Within half
hour after the beginning of today's
session, the senate entered upon the
consideration of the resolution pro-
viding for the election of United
States senators by direct vote of the
people, on which there had been an
agreement to vote before the end Of
the day. 1t was understood that there
would be an extended discussion Of
the resolution before the vote could
be reached.
Senator Porter ]. McCumber Of
North Dakota was the first speaker.
While supporting the general PROPOSE
tion for the election Of senators by
direct vote, Senator McCumber con-
tended that its enactment into law
would not prove panacea for all ills
of the body polite. He predicted that
the man who thinks it is such, will
awaken to the fact that in escaping
some of the evils Of legislative cor
ruption, he has entered into the field
of equally insidious danger and
broader opportunities for corruption.
"That which has sometimes been
brought into use to convert individual
legislators under the present system"
public under the new system, not 80
much by direct dealing Of the public
as by controlling and getting the
source Of the public political tnstruc-
tion." ~ :
Senator McCumber feared danger
in the popular primaries involving
two campaigns, as he said they would
result in. He added that an election
under such conditions would cause
such great expense that only the mill
lionaire or demagogue could AFFORD
to be a candidate.
Senator McCumber announced his
intention to vote against the entire
proposition in case Of the removal
of government supervision of senator's.
Big Program for Week.
Opening of the fight on the Cana
dian reciprocity bill on the floor OF
the senate Tuesday, with house demo-
cratic leaders urging the senate to
defeat the Root amendment to the
paper schedule; vote in the senate
today on the popular election Of SEN
ators bill; resumption of the wool
tariff revision debate in the house
Tuesday-this is the weeks program
of congress.
Several conferences are figured on,
including a caucus of Democrats in
the house Wednesday night to con-
slider extension of the legislative pro-
gram, and a meeting Of Republican
senators Tuesday to revise the list Of
senate employees. House investigating
committees will continue their work.
Meantime there is a raft of specu-
lation as to the probability Of adj
journment, which Senator Smoot and
some others predict as early as July
27. while Democratic Leader Under
wood says: eff the extra session
continues until late summer or late
autumn more comprehensive

ceeded with by the house.

MINISTER'S PAY
CUPID "CAPPERs'' =
So Says Head Of Chicago
Church Federation in, op-
posing Proposed Plan

Chicago, June l2.-The marriage
problem, as 1t relates to the man who
performs the ceremony, still main
tains its position In the foremost of
public attention in Chicago. Efforts
of Sheriff Michael thinner, Municipal
Judge Stewart and States Attorney
Wayman to smooth the way of the
prospective bride and groom having
failed, since the marrying justice. .
William F. Stacey of Evanston was
ousted from the Cook county building,
argument as to its proper adjustment
now continues between the municipal
judges. and the ministers.
"a minister's chief usefulness in
life is to marry couples" say the
judges, 'tnd they ought to be will
ing to devote a week apiece to an Of
fee near the marrying license bureau
where uniformed couples could go and
have the knot tied" So.
Judge Newcomer suggested the
plan. But the Rev. Charles Bayard
Mitchell, head Of the church fedora
ton, says that premise is all wrong,
and that it won't do at all.
''It might do for some old, super
anuated minister" said he, "but i'm
agine me neglecting my congregation
for week to open a marriage Of
fee. Then there might be lot of
graft connected with it. I've known
ministers paying ''capers' to steer
bride and groom material their way"
AS result of this press agent work
of Dan Cupid, the marriage license
bureau Is working overtime, SO says
the license clerk, who cares as long
as they get hitched?"

weather conditions. Seven of the
contestants started at an early hour
from the aerodome at Johannisthal,

reached Magdeburg before the fury
of the gale broke. The six others
who started are scattered along the
route, having been forced to land,
and all Of them reached the ground
