Washington. Dec. 1.-THE republi-
can national committee concluded its
labor for reform in party procedure
and launched It's campaign for reun-
Ion of the warning elements by adopt
ing resolution providing a radical
chance in the basis Of representation
in the national nomination commit
tees which will reduce the quota Of the
southern states from thirty-three to
sixteen per cent CT the conventions
total.
The action of the committee was cri.
tised in vigorous terms by several
of its members but was made unani-
nous before adjournment and must
be indorsed by the state entitled to
cast majority votes in the electoral
college before it becomes q party
law.
In order that such action may be
promptly taken the committee appoint.
ed a subcommittee of three, to pre-.
pare an address to the states urging
the immediate ratification of the pro-
posal. An early approval by the
states will insure a call from the ma.
,tional committee for national con.
vention in 1916 along the lines laid
down Wednesday.
The reorganization plan came as a
compromise which reflected the views
of many of the committeeman that the
southern representation be reduced

JURY FINDS
GEO. MCDONALD
NOT GUILTY

After deliberating for ABOUT four
hours the jury in the case against
George Mcdonald, charged with main
tanning a common nuisance last
spring in the place commonly known
as the Half Way House" returned a
verdict of not guilty.
The only witnesses offered by the
state were s. w. d. Folger and John
d. Penhitter, the two detectives from
Fargo, and one w. Wolden. who
claims his home is at New Leipzig
though when questioned he declined
to give his address.
In presenting the case to the jury
States Attorney Berndt claimed that
he had used the two witnesses from
Fargo because with the local prejudice
prevailing in these kind of cases It
was next to impossible to secure evil
dence through local sources. ,sS
In his argument for the denfense
Attorney Mockler contended that if

BILL VOTE
ON FRIDAY

Washington, Dec. 17.-An agree.
ment to vote on the final passage OF
the administration currency bill "cn
legislative day Friday, Dec. 49," was
c"hed in the senate.
The agreement provides that the de-
bate Thursday and Friday shall be
limited to fifteen minutes for each
senator on each amendment or on the
bill itself.
While the legislative day may run
into Saturday the expectation of the
senate leaders is that the bill will be
passed before midnight Friday night
if the important amendments are pend
ing then, however, a recess may be
taken until Saturday morning as the
republicans would not consent to an
agreement until the democrats pro.
missed they would not keep the senate
in session all night Friday.
Democratic Leader Underwood of
the house, was in conference with the
senate leaders preparatory to the fin
al stages of the congressional action
on currency measure. 1t is thought
that two days will be taken for the
completion fthe bill in a joint con.
ference committee.
The house leaders kept in close
touch with all changes made by the
senate, and expect the presidents sig
nature to be attached to the measure
before Christmas and that the big
task Of organizing the federal reserve
board and creating the vast System
Of regional banks will begin. ~

no reason why they should be, the

That he does not intend to restore

ticipated in the revolution and that
he considered the expelled Spaniards
as having participated was the justi-
fication given by General Villa for
confiscating property in Chihuahua.
He said in expelling the Spaniards
in a body he was acting according to
the position taken by General Car
rama, with whom he was in full ac-
cord.
Hermosillo-G General Villa, in his
report to General Carranza, stated
that no foreigners were molested In

DR.. FAIRBANKS ON FLIES
INSISTS THAT NOW Is THE TIME
TO PUT THE FLIES OUT OF COM
MISSION.

Has any of the ladies' clubs, or the
civic league taken up the fly question:"
asked DR.. Fairbanks yesterday.
1T seems to me-" he continued. that
now is a mighty good time to begin a
fly-swatting campaign.
1T would be an object lesson if sew
cral babies Of Brownsville should be
stricken with infantile paralysis. but
we should not be so negligent as to
wait for such a thing.
All you need is one or two good wire
fire traps. Set them where the flies can
easily get at them and bait them with
anything you know will attract them.
| bait min with beer and they every
one come for that bait.
Then when you have a pretty good
catch hO'd the trap over a stove open
ing and they are dispatched at once.
Then dump them in the stove. 1t is one
of the easiest things YOU ever did and
one Of the most Imperative things YOU
should do. 1t costs nothing either in
time or money. or to say the most. very
little. and YOU are avoiding millions Of
flies that may come from the very flies
You burn.
II wish you would push this matter.
and see if the interest of the good WON
en- at least cannot be aroused. They are
the ones who started the campaign
about the slaughter pens and they can
start this one about the flies. Make the
fly fly. fly him or fire him. anyway to
get rid of the fly. Fly time is die time"
