Schmahl Not Named.

State officials in general are con-
demned by the house committee on
public buildings in resolution
adopted yesterday for dispensing IL
quor in the state capitol building
during the governors inaugural re-
ception.
The committee had under consid-
Grafton a resolution offered by Knud
Wefald, who asked for a legislative
investigation of the reported serving
of "high balls" at the inaugural re-
ception. This resolution was aimed
at julius Schmahl in whose office the
refreshments were served. The COM
mittee, however, refused to single out
Mr.. Schmahl. It's resolution con-
dennis the practice and instructs
that it be not repeated within the
capital building.

FIVE NEW PAPERS A DAY.

Philadelphia, Jan. 81, l913--New
publications came into existence dur
ing 1912 at the rate of about five a
day, according to census figures COM
piled by the 1913 American News
paper Annual and Directory, publish
ed here today. -....- HI
The exact number begun is 1856.
In the same period 1850 were dis
continued, making the net increase
for the year 'thirty-six, about equal
ly divided between the United States
and Canada. AS in recent years,
there were many consultations.
Much the largest comparative grow
the was in the daily field.
The publishing and printing in
dustry, is one that, in number of en-
,ployees, value of products, and value
added by manufacture, lis exceeded
only by four others in the entire
realm of our country's manufacture
The increase in value of output in
this industry is remarkable. In ten
years it was more than eighty-six
per cent. The annual income OF
newspapers and publications is now
estimated at $S6O,00O,0O0-a million
dollars a day-of which, perhaps
two-thirds is derived from advertis.
ing. III. III
The current Annual and Directory
describes 24,381 publications, OF
which 1888 are daily; 1925 week
ly; 1909 monthly. These are printed
in 1859 towns, which are likewise
commercially described.
Publications issued in the interest
of various classes and lines of bust.
ness continue to be numerous. There
are 208 such lists, running from the
large ones, devoted to religion and
agriculture, to small groups, repre-.
senting sociology, woman's suffrage
cement and concrete, moving pic
lures, esperanto, etc. Every line OF
activity has it's printed exponent in
these days.

Turkish Balkan Armistice Believed
Will Close Monday Unless Quick
Action is Taken.
THE DIFFERENCES ARE SMALL

London, Jan. 31.-The curtain
may rise on the second act of the
Balkan war Monday. The Allies de-
nounced the armistice at seven
o'clock last nigl I. II 1ns events take
the prescribed course, bombardment
of Adrianople will follow after a
four day interval. 1892
Even at this eleventh hour, war is
not assured. A few hours before the
Allies proclaimed the momentous de-
cision the Ottoman government pre-
sented their reply to the joint note
of the powers. .a... r. s~.-..
Never has a diplomatic problem
taken as swift and surprising
changes as these peace negotiations.
Instead of drawing the battle line at
the question of surrendering Adrian
ople, they offer a compromise which
comes so near to meeting the Bulgar-
ian demandes, that settlement should
not be impossible and they leave the
Aegean Islands to the disposition of
the powers. A difference between
what Constantinople is ready to give
and Bulgaria willing to accept has
been reduced to such small proper
tions that even some of the Balkan
delegates believe compromise may
be found. -:.@ -.
Constantinople asks simply the
retention of a section of Adrianople,
where the holy shrine is situated.
Bulgaria always meant to leave the
mosques and shrines to Turkey and
even confer the right of extra terri
tory, thus giving something of the
status of the Vatican in Rome. Vital
differences between the nations
amount merely to Turkeys demand
ing shrines and the surrounding Sec
lions. 20 s. H.

One Calling for Normal School North
of Moorhead- Duluth Line Faith
cred by Anderson.
NORMAL BOARD TO SELECT SITE

Walter Anderson, representative
in the state legislature from Badger,
on Tuesday in troduced a bill calling
for a sixth normal school to be To-
Gated north of a line drawn from
Moorhead to Duluth. The house
committee already had under discus
sion bills calling for the LOCATION Of
a school at either Cass Lake or Thief
River Falls.
The Anderson bill, or "general'
bill as it is known, was introduced
in order that the selection of a site
may be left to- the state normal
school board. : This board is COM.
posed of one member from each nor
NAL school district and three from
the state at large. D: o. :O,Neill,
representative from this district,
stated before and after the election
that he would not introduce nor
NAL school bill other than a general
bill but did introduce one fixing
Thief River Falls as the site.
A hearing was held by the house
committee this week while the three
bills were under consideration. E..
e. Mcdonald and J. J. Opsahl appear
ed before the committee and made
strong pleas for Bemidji. 1t appears
that Thief River Falls is making an
active effort to get the school but
should one be recommended by the
house committee, it is deemed prob
able that it will be the general bill.

BY United Press.
St. Paul, Mimi, Jan. 31.-Sen.
Victor L. Johnson, Center City,
chairman of the reapportionment
committee of the senate, expects to
introduce the first bill of that nature
today or early next week.
Subcommittee meetings were held
yesterday, and meeting of the
joint committee, consisting of the
chairman of the different legislative
districts, will be held today, for a
final conference.
The introduction of the workmens'
compensation bill, as drafted by the
special subcommittee of the senate,
is the beginning of warfare between
employers on one side, and employees
on the other. Both factions will fight
to the last ditch to secure all benefits
possible, and some lively sessions are
predicted.

Fear Brewery Interests.

1t is being rumored around legisla-
tive halls that the reason for so few
bills being introduced in either body,
which have a bearing on the liquor
interests, is that no senator or rep
resentative wants to incur the dis
pleasure Of the brewery element, for
fear of prejudicing his interests
when reapportionment is taken up.
With the anti-brewery element in
the minority in both bodies, there is
no doubt but what the majority will
try to re-arrange the legislative dis
tricts so as to add weak anti-brewery
districts to the strongholds of the
brewery interests. Consequently, no
legislator is willing to introduce any
radical anti-brewery bill at this time.
This is one reason why it is generally
predicted that every effort will be
made to rush reapportionment
through as early as possible.
On the other hand, since the
brewery interests can use the reap
portionment bill as cudgel to intim-
idate those legislators who do not
want to be legislated out of exis-
tence, it is equally possible that they
will postpone action on reapportion-
ment until the end of the session.
Old Soldiers Can't Agree.
A controversy between two
branches of the G. A. R. of Minneso-
ia developed at the meeting of the
house committee on appropriations
when it considered a proposal to ap-
propriate funds to send the survivors
of the battle of Gettysburg to the
semi-centennial celebration to be
held at Gettysburg, Pa, next July.
R. G. Dunn introduced the original
bill at the request of the First Mime
sofa regiment, which participated in
the famous battle. Objection was
raised to it's being passed under sus-
pension of the rules and it was re-
ferred to the committee on apprO-
priations. This measure provided for
an appropriation of 100000 to pay
the cost of the trip and named COM
mission of First regiment members
together with General L. A. Grant OF
Minneapolis to have charge of it's
payment. ~
Yesterday a second bill was intro.
duced by Thomas Kneeland Of Mime
apolis. 1t provided for an appropria-
ton OF $4,000 to be spent under the
supervision of the state adjutant gen.
eral.
..r. Dunn objected to this measure
He said that as a matter of courtesy
to the First Minnesota, it's members
should be given charge of the funds
General Grant favored placing the
money in the hands Of the adjutant
general. while Captain searles OF
Saltwater and Edward Stevens OF
Minneapolis favored turning it over
to the Gettysburg survivors. No act
ion was taken.
