SHORT TERM FAVORED
National Senate Passed Bill Saturday
Calling For Constitutional Amend
ment to Restrict Presidents.
SINGLE ELECTION FOR SIX YEARS

washington, Feb. "a cOnstitu-
tional amendment which would re-
strict the president of the United
States to a. single term Of six years
and would bar Wood row. Wilson and
and Theodore Roosevelt and William
H. Taft from seeking election was
approved by the senate Saturday by
the narrow margin of one vote. .-
After a :three-day fight, in which
Progressives Joined with many Re-
publicans in opposing the restricted
presidential term, the senate adopted
the original Works resolution by a
vote. of AZ to. 20. <..s, i =.
The language which it is proposed
to insert in the constitution in place
of the first paragraph Of article 2, is
as follows:
The executive power shall be vest
ed in a president of the United States
of America. The term of the office of
president shall be six years; and no
person who has held the office by
election, or discharged it's powers or
duties, or acted as. president under
the constitution and laws made in
pursuance thereof shall be eligible to
hold again the Office by election.
The president, together with vice
president, chosen for the same term,
shall be elected as follows:
The resolution proposing the con-
stitutional amendment now goes to
the house. If ratified there by a two
thirds vote, it will be submitted to
the legislatures Of the states and will
become effective when three-fourths
Of the forty-eight states of the Union
have officially approved it.
Repeated attempts were made to
change the resolution So it would not
affect past presidents, or the presi-
dent in Office when it may finally be
ratified by the states. All these eff
forts failed. Two votes taken again
demonstrated that the senate did not
care to exempt any person from the
operation of the single term provis-
ion.
An amendment by Senator Hitch
cock, which would have exempted
past presidents and made the new
provision take effect March 4, 1917,
was voted down AZ to ~, and an
amendment by Senator Sutherland, to
exempt the president in Office when
the constitutional amendment may
finally be ratified, was defeated 3S
to 20.

Story Of the Shooting.

Story OF the Shooting.
AS near as can be learned from the
men who were in the saloon at the
time of the murder, Marin was shot
after, he had refused to throw up his
hands. From the stories told the po-
lice Saturday. highland Sunday, 1t
appears that Johnson first came into
the saloon Saturday morning. He
ordered a drink and when he paid for
it showed a $40 bill. 1t is said that
Marin advised Johnson to leave the
bill with him until Johnson sobered
up.
Johnson's story is that Marin later
gave him SO and that he paid Marin
fifty cents for room. Johnson went
to his room after dinner and slept
for about three hours. When he came
down stairs, it is said that he asked
Marin for the SIT balance that he
claimed he had coming. Marin told
him that he had $11 coming.
Il then realized that 1 was up
against the old game" said Johnson
Sunday, "and decided that it would
be better to take the $11 than lose it
all so l asked him for that. He turn
ed away and would not answer and I
went over and sat down."
It was about this time that Marin
asked his cook for a pail and as the
cook had none, Marin went up stairs
to get one. One of the men in the
saloon, D. E. Keane, was asked by
the cook to go down cellar and
throw some wood on the fire. "Little
Sam" Kirby was in charge of the bar
Keane came out of the bar room just
as Marin came down stairs.
Il happened to look into the wine
room," says. Keane, "and I looked
right down the muzzle of that re-
volver. l fell back and as did heard
the man call out Hey, there or
You, there or throw up your hands,
or something like that and then there
was shot. Big Sam said Boys, I'm
shot and walked the length of the
bar and sat down. He said I'm all
in and sank to the floor"
In the confusion, the murderer
walked out of the saloon, ran down
Third street and turned down Mime
sofa avenue. He was seen running
by Ben Lundgren, former deputy
sheriff, and Lundgren followed. The
man took to the alley back of Nan
gle's store, to America avenue, and
then down the embankment to the
railroad yards A Great Northern
freight pulled out about that time
and it was feared he had escaped on
it. The train was searched at Will
ton and Fosston and no trace Of him
found.
Sunday afternoon about p. M,
Johnson walked into Wilton and
asked for something to eat. He had
been out all night and appeared
famished. Constable Guisness saw
him and from behind ordered him to
throw up his hands. Guisness did
not even have jack knife with him.
The key to the jail could not be
found so Johnson was guarded until
the Bemidji officers arrived. He was
placed in the county Jail in Bemidji.
Here he was identified as the man
who was seen in the saloon prior to
the shooting Johnson said that he
was a Dane by birth, had been In this
country twenty years, was thirty.

BEMIDJI BESTS WALKER
Locals Take Visitors Into Camp by
Score Of 20 to II in a Game
Which Was Hard Fought.
FIRST VICTORY OF THE SEASON

Defeating the Walker quint in a
hard fought game Saturday night by
a score of q to II, the Bemidji
High school team won its first game
of the season. The game started off
with rush and although the Walker
boys were never ahead during the en-
tire game the Bemidji team was not
sure of the game until the last few
minutes of play.
The winning of this game means a
great deal for the team as Walker
has played five games before satur-
days game and came here undefeat-
ed. This was the second game for Be-
midi but was sample of what they
really can do. The Walker team only
shot two field baskets and their for
wards appeared to be playing in hard
luck as they made several good at
tempts to shoot baskets and failed.
The visitors outweighed the locals
but. the Bemidji team was faster on
it's feet. Walkers center shot the
fouls and missed but two out of the
nine chances.
= The winning of the game was due
partly to the excellent guarding of
G. Bailey and Elletson. Tanner and
Earl Bailey were the stars of the
game if any could be picked and
played a game altogether too fast for
the big Walker guards. Johnson at
center played a good game but was
closely qua rded by the Walker CEN
ter. A dance was held after the game
in the Armory hall in honor of the
visitors and the many rooters that
accompanied the team. The lineup
for the two teams was as follows:
Walker-11 Bemidji-22.
