HOUSE VOTES On
SCHOOL ABOLITION
AND KILLS RESOLUTION TO Al.
LOW PEOPLE TO VOTE ON THE
ISSUE.


Oklahoma City, April l5.-iiovernor
Cruces policy for adjustment of
some Of the state educational institu.
tions received a severe Jolt today
when the house of representatives
killed the Woodward resolution pro
posing to submit the question to a
vote of the people. The resolution
came from the committee on public
institutions with an adverse report,
causing Mr.. Woodward to offer a
motion that would have placed the
resolution on the calendar for direct
house action. This failed by vote of
81 to So.
Members from the institutional
towns say they were not being fair
ly treated in the way the question
was to be submitted, and declare that
now the die is cast between them
selves and the executive office in the
matter of institutional legislation.
When the calling of a special session
was before the governor he agreed
to submit to the lawmakers matters
of appropriations for state insttu-
tons, reserving his executive privilege
of vetOing any or all of them. It
was agreed by some of the house.
leaders to pass the Woodward resolu-
ton, which would carry the question
vote OF hte people. Question arose
as to the form of submission. AS
explained by the institutional peo-
pie, the governors supporters want
ed to start with the assumption that
three normals were to be abolished,
and those receiving the lowest num-
Der of votes were to go. The institd-
tional folks declared this would have
been unfair.
The institutional representatives
said they were not unwilling for the
vote, but demanded that the people
be given an opportunity to first say
whether all of the normals should
be continued. If the affirmative
side of the question won, the issue
was to be considered determined
without regard to the vote on the
individual school. If the negative side
won. then the three normals receiving
the (ewest number of votes were TO
be closed. In addition, the repre-
sentatives insisted that all of the in
stitutions, from the state university
to the district agricultural schools.
also go on the ballot
Under plans quickly formulated,
following adverse action on the
Woodward resolution, the institutional
towns representatives will endeavor /
to put through the Appropriation bills
for the schools which measures have
passed the senate, thus placing the
burden of eliminating up to the gov
ernor. The governors only recourse
would lie in a veto message, and the
method of retaliation
would be to pass the bills again.
Since all are senate bIlls, that body
would have the first say in over
riding a veto, and it is predicted there
are sufficient number of votes in
the senate to do so. 1t is problemat-
cal what the house would do.

OF new YORK ON
MISS MIKE" BERK|N
MONTANAN is MAKING A HIT IN
THE EAST WITH HER vAUDE.
WILLIE ACT.

That Miss Mike" Berkin, niece OF
Deputy Game Warden Tom Berkin
and well known in Lewistown, is max
ing a real hit in her vaudeville work
In New York is evidenced by the fol-
lowing from the New York Telegraph
regarding her act:
Mike Berkin, The Girl From
Butte" came here to let New Workers
see If she deserved the many compli-
mentary stories printed about her in
the west. Broadway managers are in
clined to accept newcomer only after
Broadway verdict. Therefore Miss
Berkin, at the Monday matinee, was
assigned to No. position, and on a
12-act bill, that is exceedingly early.
Miss Berkin did not bemoan her
fate, neither did she make kick She
accepted No 2 as If she were delight
ed, and she had scarcely started be-
fore the patrons lounging in realized
here was an act worth while, and hur-
rled to their seats. Before Miss
Berkin left the theater Monday after
noon she had been advised that she
would be No. 6 at night. And since
the Monday night performance she
has continued to be No. 6. That ef-
fectively tells the story of how Broad
way took to mike" Berkin.
Miss Berkin is wisp of girl, with
an unusually winning smile, fetching
ly attired in wild western style that
has adopted the mode of clothes, but
selected the daintiest materials. She
plays the violin. For time she took
to the classic and to the melodies of
sentiment. At the finish, though, she
ragged it with all the dash neces-
sary, but never getting away from
her daintiness and her girlishly win
ming smile.

In conversation that l had with
Prof. O. c. Greggs, of Lynd, Minn.,

farming would head off a very seri-
GUS condition that they had to go
through with in Minnesota and were
now going through in the Dakotas.
He said that he could not believe
the stories he had heard about the
Judith Basin as to yields of wheat and
other cereals and quality of forage
that was grown here. He said, II
would not dare to go back and tell
what l have seen, they would not be-

Socialists Will Undoubtedly Nominate
Joseph Heaney for Mayor-As to
Registration School Election to Be
Held in LeWistown on Saturday,
April Fifth.

There is nothing in the new law re-
lating to municipal elections to pre-
vent those interested in a citizens
non-partisan ticket from holding their
convention and election as heretofore,
without going through the routine of
securing petitions and holding nom-
mating election, as is required in the
case of partisan candidates. AS there
appears to be nearly unanimous
sentiment among democrats, progress
sives and republicans to eliminate
partisanship in the coming city cleo
tlon, 1t is practically settled that a
non-partisan ticket will be again
placed in the field. While no steps
nave yet been taken, it is expected
that a general conference of all inter-
ested will be called to arrange for
such convention, the meeting to be
open to everyone.

Last nights session of the city coun-
Gil lasted until well along toward mid

accomplished. Tne chamber was filled
with spectators, most of them coming
because of the expected discussion re-
garding the raise in telephone rates,
while some were interested in hearing
Fire Chief J. C. Bebb and Alderman
Tom Berkin report on their visit to
Butte to inspect the auto trucks. This
latter matter was not presented at
length, the discussion over the tele-
phone rates taking up so much time
that all except the officials left when
1t was over.
Mayor J. s. Marshall presided, with
all the aldermen in their seats, and
the telephone matter was brought up
by J. II. Morgan, special agent of
the Mountain States company, who
said that while the representatives
OF the company were out interviewing
patrons and getting contracts for the
new service signed up, the council had
caused an advertisement to be pub
lished advising the citizens not to sign
for service until the council had taken
the matter up. Mr.. Morgan said that
the rates were standard-that is, the
same as prevailed elsewhere in the
state and as low as they could be in

it was intended to give after April 1,
or as soon thereafter as they could

perhaps $150,000 or more in it's plant

United States. Nothing had been
spared to accomplish this. 1t had
been decided to do away with the four
party lines, which had caused more
trouble than any feature of the busi-
ness and were unsatisfactory. The
rate on the four-party lines was $3.50
a month and the rate for the new two
party lines was So month. Most of
the business houses mere had been
paying the regular rate, 81 a month,

the company was bringing them UP to
the standard. The $3.50 rate for single

oDIsT CHURCH HERE
THIS MORNING,

The funeral of the late Mrs. Annie
Barney, who died at Deerfield Sunday
morning, was held this morning from
the Methodist church in this city, the
services being conducted by Rev. E.
l.. White, who delivered feeling and
consoling address. Many friends of

spect to the memory of this good

D. Barney, the Well-known Deerfield
farmer, and was native of Henrietta
county, Iowa, aged forty-six years.
She came to the Basin with her hus-
band in 1898, the family locating at
the ranch where they have since re-
sided. Mrs. Barney had been suffer-
ing from typhoid, but was apparent
ly recovering when a relapse proved
fatal. She was a woman of high char
acter, respected and esteemed for her
many splendid qualities by all who
came in contact with her. She is sur
viyed by the husband and twelve chill
dren.
Death of Child.

Old daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Frank

LAST NIGHT, FOUND TO HAVE
$1,o17.o7 ON HIS PERsON-RE-
sENTED ARREST UNTIL He

The desk sergeant at the police sta
ton almost fell off his chair last night
when two envelopes, taken from the
person of one Fred S%chardine, plain
drunk, were found to contain $500
each, in currency.
one thousand seventeen dollars and
seven cents was the total amount TAX

the office safe. pending his hearing be-
fore the magistrate.
S~chardine was very much vexed with
the officers of the law for placing him
under arrest, and he made the echoes
ring with his denunclations Of his cap
tors last night. He vowed that if they
stole his money he would have the
whole force arrested.
This morning he appeared before
Judge Miller and was fined $40. He
seemed to have changed his mind about
the injustice of his arrest this morn
ing, and thanked the officers for their
services in his behalf. Inasmuch as he
was being escorted to the Moorhead
side of the river by q suspicious look
ing individual when arrested, it ap-
pears that he is about the luckiest man
in Fargo to be in possession of his

a draft for the amount at once. He

the city to transact some banking bus-
mess, but he visited Moorhead before
he visited the bank, with results as re-
counted.
