RELIEF BILL
HAS FAILED
No Immediate End to Great
English Strike
THE AMENDMENTS REFUSED
WHEN PREMIER AsoUITH TURN
Ed DOWN THE PROPOSED
AMENDMENT FIXING MINIMUM
WAGE He DASHED HOPES FOR
SETTLEMENT.

London, March 22.--Asquith in the
house of commons this afternoon re-
fused to accept the miners amendment
to the minimum wage bill providing a
minimum of $1.25 and so cents as daily
wage for men and boys, respectively.
Enoch Edwards, labor member Of
parliament and president Of the min
ers' federation of Great Britain at once
announced the premIers rejection OF
the miners amendment closed the door
to an immediate settlement OF the
strike.
The bill which the government in
troduced into parliament to put a
stop to one of the greatest calamities
that ever befell this country, and
which was read for the second time in
the house of commons last night, still
has to run gauntlet OF the commit
tee stage. 1t was here the miners
endeavored to procure the acceptance
of amendments fixing minimum wages.
1t the miners refuse to return to work
the government faces the necessity Of
taking those "other and different
measures" foreshadowed by the prem
ier yesterday and which are believed
to mean adequate protection for those
men desiring to return to work.
Despite the decisions of the unions
there is already, particularly In Scot
land, a steady trickiing Of miners back
to the pits.

AWARD PAVING
CONTRACT TONIGHT
MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
WILL MEET TONIGHT IN THE
COUNCIL CHAMBERS TO AWARD
PAVING CONTRACT TO THE
SUCCESSFUL BIDDERS.

The city council will convene in
the council chambers tonight in what
is looked upon as being one of the
most important meetings of the new
year.
AT this session the council will
award the contracts for the paving of
Fourth and Fifth wards to the sue
cessful bidder. At the meeting
Wednesday night the council reported
in favor of bituminous concrete paw
ing at $1.39 a square yard. The
awarding of the contract at that ses-
sion was postponed until tonight for
the reason that the street car officials
requested postponement for a cou-
pie Of days in order to give them time
to hear from their head office in Chi
cago. This request was granted and
the meeting was set for tonight.
The meeting tonight will undoubted-
ly bring further steps toward the
paving and repaving of Third ward,
which movement was given a short
hearing at the session held Wednes-
day. The citizens and property own
ers of the Third ward will convene
in a session this evening at the Far
go college to talk over and decide
definitely as to what should be done
regarding the paving of their district.
1t is understood they are much in
favor of paving all of the Third ward
and this they wish to do before the
new administration takes effect.

ENVY TO SCATTER,

London, March 22.-Details of the
attack by italian dirigible balloons on
the Turkish camp at Suani- Ben-Aden
are given in a special dispatch received
from a correspondent with the Turk
ish forces. He says the two Italian
dirigibles carried aut two reconnai-
sances over the Turkish lines, drop
ping bombs as they proceeded.
The airships were under perfect con-
troll. They stopped almost still over
the coast town of Zenzeur, about four
teen miles west Of the city of Tripoli,
and dropped a bomb into the street.
Four persons were killed by the ex-
plosion and ten others wounded, all
Of them on-combatants.
The balloons made complete tour
of the Turkish camps, but sustained
rifle fire from the Turkish infantry
compelled them finally to swerve off
and disappear. In the course of their
second visit the airships succeeded in
dropping thirty bombs. according 10
the correspondent, who does not give
any particulars as to the casualties.
The Arabs, however, scattered in all
directions.

Sidna Edwards, First One Of
Gang to Be Caught
FOOtsOrc and Hungry Could
Not Follow Fast Shifts
Is a Nephew Of Leader Of the
Clan, Sidna Allen

Hillsville, Va, March 22.-Sidna Ed
wards, nephew Of Sidna Allen and
one of the Allen gang which took to
the mountains after the courthouse as
sassination here, was arrested today
at Clamsburg, va, without resistance
by posse Of detectives. Edwards Is
being brought here and is expected to
arrive about p. m. His capture leads
10 the belief that the other mountain
eers will be in custody soon.
Young Edwards was arrested by De-
tectives Tom Felts and w. w. Phauts,
who had been In the mountains since
Tuesday. They found him wandering
around aimlessly and hungry. His sore
feet troubled him and it is believed
ne was unable to keep up with the
swift change of base made by the
other fugitives.
He probably will be put through a
rigid "third-degree" examination, when
he gets here, but it is little thought
that he will disclose the movements OF
his kinsmen.
AT the first a reward of only 5000
was offered for his capture, but after
thorough Investigation was made by
the state authorities as to his particle
patton in the shooting. Governor Mann
increased the amount to $1,000. the
same as is offered for the capture, dead
or alive, Of Sidna Allen, the leader of
the clan. Ja

Jacksonville, Fla, March 22.-Fred
Newsome, alias Fred Price, the man
who claims to have sent the bomb
which exploded in the home of Judge
Rosalsky in New York, is evidently
either demented or a notoriety seeker.
This is the opinion or the police here
today after another long siege of ques-
tioning during which further conflict
ing statements were found in New
some's story.
Nevertheless, the prisoners thorough
familiarity with the Foulke Brandt
case gives a color of credibility to his
story. He claims to have known Brandt
when the former Schiff valet was a
steward on the Norwegian ship which
sailed from the port of Chile.
His friendship began then, he says,
and was further cemented by aid given
him by Brandt when out of work.

Billings County Went for

Bruegger's 5 Election as Commit
teeman Conceded

Reports from the western counties
today are cutting down the LaFollette
lead considerably and the final returns
will probably show that LaFollette will
not be more than 10000 ahead of
Roosevelt. Even these figures may
be slightly reduced.
Billings county, which was first
claimed by Roosevelt and later by La
Toilette, has gone for the colonel by
13O votes. Especial interest was taken
in this county as it was the location
Of Roosevelt's ranch.

Little is known definitely concern
ing the democratic delegates to the ma
tional convention. There were seven
teen candidates for the ten places. The
returns from most counties fail en-
tirely to mention this vote.
On the democratic national commit
teeman John Bruegger's election is
conceded. George Duis of Grand Forks,
the runner up, admits that Bruegger
has been chosen.
In thirty-one of the forty nine coun-
ties Bruegger leads by 259. The to-
tails are: Bruegger 1904, Duis 1916,
Wilson 1.19S, Perry 1,1a1, Whitehead

This does not include some of the
western counties, where Whitehead is
supposed to have shown greater

animation this morning that he made
a confession to Attorney Skulason,
before Simon Mckenzie and Sheriff
Johnson in the office Of McKenzie's
butcher shop, but said he told it mere
