NEWS IS DISTORTED
BY DEMOCRATIC
PAPERS
ORGANS OF BIG BUSINESS FAIL
TO TELL TRUTH REGARDING
LEGISLATURE.
(Staff Correspondence

Helena, Jan. 10.-The democratic
papers that came into Helena today
were a unit in one thing, to say the
least. and that was in a deliberate
campaign of Misrepresentation on the
contest for the appointment of a COM
mittee on committees in the house.
| without exception these newspapers
pretend to describe the event, and the
various items that led up to it, as a
mere scheme of the progressives to
create division in the democratic
ranks, and as conceived by the Bull
Moosers for that sole purpose.
To inaugurate campaign Of the
sort referred to it was necessary at
the very outset to ignore many of the
important facts having bearing and
distort others of equal Importance and
relevancy. In the interest of a fair
understanding of the whole matter it
will be necessary to go back to the
beginning.
On the first day Of the session Nor
ton, democrat, of Silver Bow, made
the customary motion that the rules
of the preceding assembly be adopted
until such time as the present house
should have adopted rules of it's own.
To this Amin, progressive of Yellow
stone, offered an amendment that rule
81 be amended SO as to read that the
speaker shall appoint a committee Of
five on committees for this house, Of
whom three shall be democrats, one a
progressive and one a republican. AL
though the speaker had but few
minutes previously entertained a mo
tion and put it to q vote of the house
to amend rule s of the same body of
rules he declared the Amin motion
out Of order. This was clearly in
violation of every known canon Of
parliamentary law
Up Again.
The matter was allowed to rest
there until Wednesday. when Amin
| again presented the matter in the
i shape of written motion which read,
"that it is the will of this house that
the speaker shall within the present
legislative day, appoint the committee
on rules heretofore provided for, and
that the said committee, when ap-
pointed, be and the same is hereby in
structed to report forthwith to this
house q rule providing for the selection
| by the house of a committee of five
on committees Of the house, to consist
of three democrats, one progressive
and one republican" The motion was
declared out Of order by the speaker
and an appeal to the house was taken
The progressives voted soldly, witt
one exception, to overrule the speaker
and were joined in this by two re-
pubicans, CrulI of Musselshell, ant

ALLIES AND TURKS
ARE AT DEADLOCK

London, Jan. 10-The pendulum OF
the fall OF Adrianoplc and action by
the powers Of Europe. Both Turkey
and the allies have been unrespon-
sive either to the advice of friendly
offers, or to pressure by which the
powers have attempted to bring the
conflicting parties to terms over
Adrianople. Compromises, by which
the Holy City" neither would be
separated entirely from Turkey nor
ceded entirely to Bulgaria, have been
refused by both sides.
Turkeys hopes of saving Adria-
nople undoubtedly have been revived
by the threatening attitude in Rou-
mania. 1t is believed in some quar-
ters that Roumania's stand is backed
by Austria.
The ambassadorial conference met
today. but 1T was announced that no
important decision had been reached

came a general favorite both in the
