There will be no congressional re-

Mr.. Warner said that his commit

but if it is passed then it will have
only two weeks in which to be con

One Of the things that delayed us

delegation and several of the members
a number of times to get together
and decide which part of the county
they must set off into the new dis
trict but they have done nothing.
Hennepin ought to be more interest
ed in congressional reapportionment
than any other county"
Mr. Warner did not take much
stock in the talk that James Mana
hans friends We're opposing reappor-
tionment in order to give him another
term as congressman at large. The
bill is likely to die because no one
is taking enough interest to push it
through, he said.
Two Ambitious Senators.
One reason why no one is pushing
the bill in the house is that there are
no house members with ambitions to
go to congress who would be bene
flied by the bill. In the senate Frank
Clague of Redwood Falls is said to
have ambitions, and the bill moves
his county from Congressman Vol
stead's district to Hammond's district,
which. suits ClagHe. On the other
hand Senator J. +. Haycraft of Ma
della is also said to have ambitions
and would rather see the second dis
trict left as il is.
The bill gives each of the present
congressman at least the larger part
of his present district. The new dis
trict is created out of parts of the
fourth fifth, sixth and eighth dis
tricts.

main There On First Degree
Murder Charge

Rochester, April 9.-Henry Schmidt
appeared i'll justice court yesterday
for the formal arraignment on a
murder charge, and was bound over
to the grand jury by Justice Brook
ner, l. L. Eckholdt appearing for
the youth. The lad was the least
concerned of any as Justice Brook
ner read the complaint charging him
with murder in the first degree,
and after hearing the first few
words, gazed out of the window
during the rest of the proceedings.
Following the formalities, while in
company with Oiciffals and press
representative, the youth appeared
most cheerful, declaring that the
Jail was as good a place as any
for him, and again mentioning no
motive for his crime and no sor-
row. He was taken to the county
Jail, where he will await the June
term of court.
