OPPOSITION TO
LEADERS, plan
80.
Some Democrats Take Is
sues with Underwood Re-
garding Committees.

Washington, April 1.-Democratic
opposition has developed in the house
to the plan agreed upon by Represen-
tative Underwood and other party
leaders. that no committees should
be appointed at the opening of the
special session except those necessary
to the transaction of routine business
and the handling of the tariff revision
bills.
one of those who urge the appoint
ment Of other important committees
at the outset of the session, dis
cussed the matter with President Will
son today. The latter made no recon-
mendation on the subject and said he
had an "open mind" upon It,
1t has been the plan Of Democratic
to hold back the appointment Of
other committees. so that full atten-
tion may he given the tariff while

New York-The Indictment Of four
police inspectors of New York for
graft after an investigation by Dis
trict Attorney Charles S. Whitman has
frightened the gamblers and criminals
among the police worse than any ac-
tion ever taken against them in this
city. In all the graft investigations
Of the past no district attorney has
succeeded in forcing indictments
against officers as high as inspectors.
An Inspector in New York is tho
highest uniformed officer. There are
only nineteen in the whole police force
of more than 10.500 men. He draws
a salary of $3.5o0 Il year. 1t is the
position to which every man who
pounds the pavement" aspires. Some
of the inspectors have command OF
territories as large as many cities. and
are really as important as chiefs OF
police In many cities.
District Attorney Whitman insists
that the graft money obtained by
these men. according to the charges
against them, Went to two or three
men powerful in politics. His con-
stant aim has been to get evidence
against the men. He says he is now
morally certain of their guilt.

Fargo Has Practically Drop.
ped Out of the Fair Busi-
ness This Season.
LOCAL ASSOCIATION
STRONGER THAN EVER
Cp.River City Seemingly Has Aban.
dOncd on. year Event and will Hold
Only a Fourth of July Race Meet
and Celebration.

Grand Forks will have the only big
exposition in North Dakota this year.
1t will be the state fair to be held
here the latter part of July, and un-
der the plans of the directors and Of
fcers Of the North Dakota Fair as
ISOLATION for Grand Forks, there will
be nothing left undone to make the
event the greatest that has ever been
staged.
Fargo. 1t has been authoritively an
nounced;- has practically dropped out
Of the fair business for this year. it
being understood that the fair back
ers of that city have decided that it
is too much Of task to stage an ''ofr
year" fair.
Instead Of the local fair, which has
previously been held by Grand Forks
and Fargo on the Years alternating
with the state fair. the Fargo associa-
ton this season contemplates holding
only Fourth of July race. meet, Civ
ing three days over to that feature.
Grand Forks. with the state associa-
tion and the county organization join
greatest agricultural exposition the
state has ever seen.
Fairs Have Been Successful Here.
In holding the ofr-year fair, Grand
Forks has been remarkably successful.
In 1908 the association made about
5000: in 1910 it cleared enough to re-
tire old warrants. and in 1912 there
also waf a balance on hand.
Fargo. according to the information
obtainable from that city, has O diff
ferent story to tell, as the fairs have
proved anything but successful from a
financial point Of view. That fact is
given as the reason for abandonment
Of the agricultural. stock and general
fair this year in favor Of a race meet.
Means Greater Crowds Here.
North Dakota people want real ex-
positions every year. and Fargo's ac-
tion is dropping out at this time
means greater crowds for the Grand
Forks event. 1t will mean that this
city Will draw more heavily than in
past years from the southern districts,
and that the fair will be one Of the
most successful ever held.
StOckmen Mill Come.
The stock department will be made
as good as ever. Although some OF
the stockmeR.4 may not look with IA
vpr OH the idea Of coming to the state
to make Just the one fair, the premi-
UNI list here will be so arranged as
to make the proposition of displaying
attractive.
Under the old arrangement that has
been observed in other years the as
sociations Of the two cities held their
fairs on succeeding weeks. This made
1t possible for exhibitor, attraction
men, ETC., to make both fairs to bet
ter advantage.
