ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCH1 IvTR nIrH Mich hnn t rNI

DETROIT, Mich, Dec. 4.-The re publican national committee has no authority to change the basis of rep resentation and voting in national conventions.
 The national committee has author ity to change the manner and method of choosing delegates to future ma tional conventions so as to provide that delegates be chosen in such manner as the laws of the several states from time to time may provide. Delegates shall be chosen according to the laws of the state they represent instead of according to the discretion of the committee itself.
 The national committee has the authority to call a special national convention of the party, the legal form of which a call is provided by the legal committee.
 These conclusions are reached in an opinion made public here today by Charles B. Warren of Detroit, chair man of the legal committee, appoint ed by the executive committee of the republican national committee.
 The executive committee in Wash ington, May A, last, adopted a reso- lution requesting the chairman to call a meeting of the national committee, to be held within sixty days after the expiration of the special session of congress convened in March, 1918 The national committee will consider among other things. proposed plans for party congratulations. The legal committee was named to make q de tailed examination of the questions that would arise. MT.

The difficulty in devising a pro-

in finding sources so prolific that
the state would be led into extrava-

condition that would mean that it
had taken out of private hands, the

than it was fair to take. Nor is the
proposal to turn back excess rev.

than illusory. 1t is theoretically at

would be any excess. The state

BIG HOCKEY GAME WILL
Be PLAYED HERE SUNDAY
6ood Game Expected Between Virginia and
Duluth Curling Club Team Sunday.
Both Teams Have Star Men

When the Virginia Hockey club
and the Duluth Curling club hockey
team meet at the Roosevelt rink
Sunday the Range fans will have the
opportunity of witnessing one of the
best games ever seen in this part OF
the state. Duluth comes fresh from
a victory over the Portage Lake team
and has lost only one game this sea-
son, that to the Houghton team, the
champion amateurs of the United
States. Duluth will be led by Capt.
Joe Linder one OF the best defense
men in the game. Their cOverpOint,
Dr.. TamDyln, is also star defense
man. Duluths forward line is fas(
and brawny, with Owens and Mahon
on wing, Arne Olson at center, and
Helmer Greauner at rover.
The Virginia team has been
strengthened by the addition OF
Stanley Watt as center and francis
LIE Fleaur at left wing. Capt. Ted
Mckenzie who leads the Virginia
club is a former member Of the
Northern Hardware team of DULUTH,
which team won the United States
championship in 19O7-OS-09. He is
fast on his skates and handles the
stick to perfection. Stanley Way who
plays rover is a former Cleveland
high school star and learned the fine
points of the game from "Coddy
Winters. George Meehan and Oscar
Roswell are two Virginia boys who
are we'll known in hockey circles and
Halvor Olson is one of the best goals
in the game. He has played with
Duluth for few games this year
but will be seen in a Virginia uni
form at this game Sunday. The
game will be refereed by Dr.. Ewens
of Virginia and by either Ray Fen

CITY WANTS $138 FOR
MOOSE LOST BY WARDEN
Park Board Claims Deputy Game Warden
:. 8. James Of Ely Hauled Their
Young Cow Moose TO Woods

The city Of Virginia through it's
park board will try to recover $138
damages from Deputy Game Warden
F. B. James Of Ely for the loss of
moose.
1t is claimed that the animal
which was a fine specimen of two
year old COW moose was Grated and
hauled down to the Duluth and Iron
Range railroad depot at Ely await
ing shipment under the charge Of
superintendent Arthur Beischjold Of
the park board, when during his
temporary absence the crate and
contents were loaded back onto a
wagon under James orders and
hauled out into the adjacent woods
and the animal set free.
The park board had previously OBJ
tanned permission from the fish and
game commission in St. Paul to take
the young moose to their park here
anu Keep ~ III CdptlVlly duu IL lS
stated that James was aware of this
fact
The city of Virginia incurred the
expense of $3S in sending to Ely
to get the animal and City Attorney
D. D. Morgan has been instructed to
commence action for the additional
sum of 500 as the value of the lost
animal from F. B. James.
The animal stryed into Ely dur
ing last fall and was easily captured.
An interchange of kilograms brought
the requisite permission Of the au-
thorities in St. Paul to bring the
moose to Virginia.
The commission censured Deputy
Warden James for his unwarranted
and hasty action and the matter will
be further aired in the courts before
the incident is finally closed.
