COMMITTEE ENDS.
MONEY INQUIRY
Will Recommend Amending Na-
tiona| Bank Law.
JAMES ]. HILL IS CALLED
Railway Magnate Questioned Briefly
About Matters in Which He
Is Interested.

Washington, Jan. 25.-Accepting, as
an argument, a long statement deny
ing the existence of a money trust
and charging the cooperation among
financial interests to the weak bank.
ing law" framed by Henry P. Davi.
son of ]. P. Morgan & Co., the house
money trust committee closed, for the
time being, it's financial probe.
The committee did not allow the
statement to so into the record as
testimony, but, at an executive meet
ing, voted to allow it to be recorded
as an argument"
MI. Dawson differed with Mr.. I'm
termyer, counsel for the committee,
in his assertions as to the %concentra-
ton and control of money and credit
and the lawyer was unable to shake
the position of the financier.
James j. Hill was a witness for
twenty minutes. He was examined
by Samuel Untermyer, who directed
his questions largely to cumulative
voting of minority stockholders in
corporations and to whether Mr.. Hill
thought the law ought to give minor
ity shareholders in a corporation rep
resentation on the board of directors.
AS to the latter Mr.. Hill declared
that the trainers of such a law might
aim to do good, but might do infinite
harm.
Marketing of Securities.
Robert Windsor of the firm of Kid
der, Peabody & Co., and Gardner NJ.
Lane of Lee, Higginson & Co., both
of Boston, were examined as to par
%ticipation of their Eel with ]. p.
Morgan & Co., the First National
bank, the National City bank and
other New York financial institutions.
in the marketing of securities.
Francis L. Hine, president of the
First National bank of New York,
was the last witness. Mr.. Hine was
questioned as to the practice of his
bank, Morgan & Co., and the National
City bank, in handling jointly issues
of stocks and bonds. He said that
participations in bonds issued in this
fashion were usually accorded to the
banks in which he and other mem
bers of the issuing firm were inter-
ested. He saw no objection, he said,
to officers of these banks underwrit-
ing a portion of the participation &C.
corded their banks.
The committee will begin within a
week consideration of it's report,
which will recommend changes in the
national bank law and legal control
Of various financial agencies. Mr..
Untermyer said that the investiga-
ton, as originally planned, had gone
as far as it could under the present
laws, but an effort would be made
later to continue it.

DECLARES PLAN A GOOD ONE
Expert Gives Opinion Of Pork Pro.
duction Contest.

the pork production contest
Just inaugurated by the Better Farm
ing association is mi Of the most con-
structlve live stock movements ever
started In the state is the opinion of
y. D. Center, the expert from Grand
Forks county. In speaking OF this con-
test Mr.. Center said:
1T is a conceded fact that where
live stock has been once introduced
and records kept, as is the plan in this
contest, the grower of stock develops
an attachment for animals and a dis
position to grow greater numbers of
better quality. This attachment is no
temporary thing, but grows as the
years pass. The educational effect on
the coming generation Of North Da-
kota citizens is most wholesome.
There is at present no less than
one-half a hog per acre in the state.
II by the contest the number of hogs
n North Dakota can be increased to
even n hog pei acre our wealth will
be increased owe two million dollars
annually. This increase comes with
out a~ppreciable reduction in the in.
of u revenue from grain, since
these extra hogs will scarcely consume
more than the present waste.
aside from the pecuniary effect
there is the more, important educa-
tlonal benefit accruing to the boys and
girls who are contestants. This effect
extends beyond the contestants them
selves and is felt by every member of
the family. The simple records that
are to be kept form habits of accur-
acy, regularity, economy and thrift.
Those habits, together with an inter-
est in animal kind that canont fail to
develop, mean more toward assurance
OF future advance and prosperity of
North Dakota than we can now dare
to predict"

HASTEN TO CONSTANTINOPlE
British Warships on Their Way to
Turkish Capital.

London, Jon. 26.-British warships
are speeding through the Mediterra-
mean on their way to the Bosphorus,
following the decision of the powers,
through their London ambassadors, to
make a naval demonstration before
Constantinople.
United States, Spanish and German
vessels already are in the harbor and
the British ships at Malta and the
Italian vessels at San Marco were or
dered to proceed to Constantinople
forthwith.
While the ambassadors were in ses-
sion at the foreign office the Balkan
peace delegates called a conference at
which it was planned to decide on the
recommendation to be made simulta-
neously to their four governments re-
garding the termination of negotia-
lions.

Grand Forks and Fargo, Having Made
Peace, Want Seal Placed on
Present System.

Grand Forks and Fargo will not
wage war this ear over the perma-
nent location of the state fair in either
city, but instead, both cities will unite
forces before the legislature in an eff
fort to have passed the bill that has
been introduced by Representative
WARDROBE for a S25, 900 appropriation
each year for the fair, this a%ppropria-
ton going to the fair association of
Grand Forks in the odd numbered
year and to Fargo in the even num-
bered year.
Grand Forks made a bid before the
legislature eight years ago for the
location of the state fair in that city.
Prior to that time a fair had been
maintained in Mandan under the name
of the state fair. Grand Forks bid
for the fair resulted in arousing Far
COS interests and a hot fight devel-
oped. Under a compromise finally
agreed upon the fair was held in
Fargo one year and in Grand Forks
the next.
Two years later the fight was before
the legislature again, Fargo seeking
to have the fair removed there per-
manently but the movement failed.
About the same time the Fargo as
ISOLATION brought action in court
against Grand Forks charging that the
GRIND Forks association had failed to
rake good the provisions land down
in tie state fair law relative to the
premiums paid.
Eour years ago when the last bitter
fight occurred, the legislature upheld
the original law. Since that time the
two associations have been working
together to a greater extent and the
result has been seen in the great i'm
provement of the fairs in both cities.

What University is Asking.

An appropriation of $780, 900 for the
state university is asked in a bill in
troduced in the legislature by Sena-
tor H. A. Bronson of Grand Forks.
The money would be used in the cree.
ton of two new buildings, a college
of law to cost $4,000 and a chemistry
building to cost $135, 900. The remain
ing 100000 would be used for special
and general maintenance. At present
the university college of law is housed
in inadequate down town quarters. In
regard to the chemistry building it is
claimed that present accommodations
are far from sufficient to care for the
demands upon them. A fireproof, thor.
oughly modern building would provide
ample facilities for chemistry work,
for the school OF medicine and public
health laboratory.

Young Turks FoTcib|y Assume
the ReinS Of Government
at Constantinop|e.
NAz|M PASHA IS KILLED
Popular Sentiment C|amors toI
Saving Adrianop|e Or Per-
ish in Attempt.

Constantinople, Jan. 24,-Peace at
almost any price is a decision of yes
terday with Turkey. War to a finish
or Adrianople is the decision of today
and it is sealed with the blood of
Nazim Pasha, former war minister
and commandments of the army,
and the resignation of the ministry
that sought to avert further conflict.
The crisis came with startling
swiftness. Quiet hardly had been re
stored after the government was
forced to surrender to the demands
of a great crowd, representing all
classes of the p%roletariat, that de-
manded that the cabinet resign, be-
fore the commander of the Tchatalja
lines was shot dead by Enver Bey,
one of the leaders OF the Young Turks,
who figured prominently in the earli-
er affairs Of the day, or his com
panion.
The two were passing the porte
when Nazim Pasha's aide-de-camp
opened fire on them from a window.
They returned it. Their bullets struck
Nazim Pasha.
Despite the tragedy there was no
disturbance elsewhere and the public
In general seemed engrossed alone in
celebrating the return of the Young
Turks to power.
Proclamation Explains Action.
The committee of union and prog
ress issued a proclamation explaining
it's action. 1t declared that while the
Ottoman government, under Said
Pasha, carried on a victorious cam
paign in Albania the succeeding gov
eminent, under Mukhtar Pasha, ruined
Turkish authority in Albania. 1t
thereby excited the appetites of the
Balkan powers.
The proclamation further charges
that the Kiamil government was dis
playing unjustitiable weakness in the
peace negotiations, while the allies
had won the powers Owe to their side.
1t declares that kiamil Pasha be-
trayed his country by offering to yield
Adrianople and the Aegean islands
and, to conceal his treason, summoned
a consultative assembly.
THE Ottoman nation" the procla-
nation concludes, could not endure
such a government headed by a trail
tor and thus exercised it's right of
revolution and the sultan was asked
to summon a cabinet which will be
able to take the fullest advantage OF
the nations strength to protect the
fatherland.
The Ottoman nation cannot sacri-
flee it's rights and will employ all the
means in its power to defend them
and show that it wishes to live with
honor" .

Keep Boys Out of Pool Rooms, Says

played under such conditions would
not have a bed effect. He urged the
adoption of the plan in Grand Forks.

sition in a talk following the annual
