Temporary Educational Com
mission Meets With Joint
Committees
Recommends That. Higher
Institutions Remain Under
Separate Boards

A%nticiDatory of the final days
business in the legislature before ad
journment several important commit
tee meetings were held Wednesday
afternoon and evening, and a great
deal of important pending legislation
was considered.
1t was decided, however, to hold
much OF the business over until after
the recess. and today's session is not
expected to be an overtime" affair.
Educational Committee Meets.
At a meeting of the educational
committees of both houses with the
temporary educationa committee,
consisting OF President Worst of Far:
go and President McVey Of Grand
Forks, legislation relating to the
public schools and the higher institu-
tons of learning throughout the state
was given consideration.
In the report of the educational
commission it was declared that the
state university is the highest insti-
tuition of learning in the state, and as
the elimination of the system Of edu-
cation it can have no rivalry with any
VI pau VI tllt "IloIC, UuI olOuIu
coordinate, strengthen, supplement
and develop the work Of all.
AS now organized and conducted
there is little conflict or duplication
between the university and the A. c.,
and such as there is can be removed
by conference and agreements be-
tween the presidents and the boards
Of trustees. Between the institutions
of the state there should be such CO.
ordination as to permit the student to
pass from one institution to another
without loss of time and credit.
The normal schools should continue
to emphasize the preparation of
teachers for the grades and should be
under the government of one board
since they are schools of a similar
kind. 81. ...N.a s.
The commission recommends thai
the university should continue under
a board as at present, the A. c. IN
der another board, the normal schools
under a third. and the industrial
schools under a4fourth. In connection
with the department or public instruc-
ton, there should be a board OF edu-
c%ational advisors, who should take
over the functions Of the present
state high school board and the board
of examiners. and this board might
have authority for calling upon each
institution for the presentation OF
needs prior to the meeting of the leg
i%slature. .@.
The commission concludes its re-
port with a hope that the legislature
will continue the commission with
larger facilities.
Railroad Legislation. :. ....
The railroad committees met
! Wednesday evening and further cor
sidered bills relating to the full crew"
proposition, the size OF locomotives.
and cars and clearance OF obstruction.
| and the electric headlight measure.
1t was said that a report would be
made by a committee on railways to-
day. but the exact nature of this re-
3ort could not be determined.

will be secured. These are, J. Adams
Puffer, director of the Beacon Voca-
ton bureau of Boston, and DR.. Henry
S. Curtis of Olivet, Mich. former sec
rotary Of the Playground association

several times at the state educational
meeting in Grand Forks last year,

at that time that an effort will be
made to bring them to this city for
the sectional meeting.

f. McClain is president and Miss
Maud Batty, secretary. met last week
in conjunction with President Steake
and Secretary Scott OF the Missouri

WASHINGTON, Jan. 29.-The first

of the remarkable findings just reported
to the national house Of representatives
bby Judge .John II. Rothermel, chairman
of the house committee appointed to in
vestigate the scandalous conditions in
connection with the leasing by the Unit
ed States Of the sealing privileges on
the NPribilof Islands. The testimony
which this congressional committee.
comprising members Of both political
parties, elected from the various wit
nesses and the documentary evidence
presented, officially, to that distinguished
body, disclosed active participants in
offenses which. under the Revised Stat
utes. call for criminal and civil actions.

II of the chief offenders, that an as
sistant secretary of state, whilst acting
for this government in an official capaci-
ty, also acted in conjunction with 9TH
ers in knowingly and Wilfully defrauding
the Russian government, then and now
a friendly ally OF the United States, by
declaring that a notorious British pirate
was an American citizen; and that he
and his guilty confederates in crime col
lected from the Russian government $780,
COO. which they quarreled over before di-
viding among themselves. The commit
tee also found that this assistant secre-
tary of state wilfully deceived the Hague
Tribunal by officially declaring that
Alexander Mclean, .hhe captain of said
vessel, was an American citizen, when
in truth and fact he was a British sub
feet and VIGOROUSLY known as a pirate
In fact, it was proved that at the time
when this false and dishonorable state

MOTT EXPECTS TO

MOTT. y. D.. Jan. 22.-There is ev-
cry likelihood that the county seat town
will have a flour mill established here
within the near future. There is no
question but that a mill would be a pay

There mas been one or two attempts 10
secure one for Mott heretofore, but
circumstances have been against the es-
adjustment OF a mill from the fact that
the crop conditions would not warrant
it. At the present tim il is very diff

Of the town commissioners on the night
Of December Is.
This work will come as a result of
the petition recently circulated by
pl operty owners on Fifth avenue, ask
ing the city commissioners to pave this
t~Eoroughfare, which is one of the most
important in Hendersonvfue.
The petition calls for the improve
mem of the, street to the city limits,
which is about one mile from Main
street, where the paving will begin.
1t is not known what terms the Lau-
rel Park street railway and the city
will come to with reference to the
work to be done on this street. When
the line was electrified last year. con-
siderable expense was attached to the
installation of electrical fixtures, such
as arms for the trolley wires, connec-
tons, grading, etc.
It is believed by a number of the Cit
liens that the Improvement of Fifth
venue will open the way for the paw
ing of other important streets in the

VIRGINIA on Low RATES.
Reasons Advanced Why Reduced Rates
Should Not Operate in y. c.

, Copies of the voluminous petition by
Virginia cities against the application
of the proposed reduced interstate
freight rates for North Carolina, show
that the Virginia cities are using as
special exhibits against the application
of the new rates for North Carolina
without corresponding reductions 20;
Virginia, both the Justice ~intrastate
rate act and the special resolution by
the Carolina legislature, declaring 1t
to be the fixed policy of the state that
/ there should be no exceptions to the
application of the long and short radI
clause of the federal commerce act.
Chairman Travis is just back from
Washington where he spent a couple
of days looking into the situation. He
has assurance from Chairman Clark of
the interstate commission that all pos
| sibIe dispatch viii be exercised in the
hearings
The Virginia cities petition makes a
point of the attitude of North Carolina
in declaring its fixed principle to BE-
against suspension of the application
of the long and short haul clause and
then coming before the interstate COM
mission with the carriers in asking for
its violation because it is u.s. as the
Virginia cities petition expresses it.
Virginia cities are really insisting that
if the reduced rates are to apply in
North Carolina there must be reduc-
tons in the local rates from Virginia
cities to Carolina points else great in
Justice will be worked to Virginia
shippers.
There are also exhibits to show that
if the reduced interstate rate are u
operate for North Carolina there are
points in other states less than half
the distance from Cincinnati, for in
stance intermediate points, that
would pay more than twice the freight
rates paid by North Carolina shippers.
