President Wilson sent the above
message Of greeting yesterday to the
Norwegians assembled at the fair
grounds for the closing day of the
centennial celebration, but Il was de-
layed, arriving too late to be read
to the thousands of Morse.
At the suggestion of Governor Eber-
hart, committee was appointed I'm

message arrived here last night this
committee sent a reply.

most remarkable ever made by
Norsemen outside Norway. More
than 10000 visitors were taken to
their homes yesterday by trains leav.
ing the twin cities.
Attendance Was 10000.
According to an estimate made by
T. A. walby. treasurer of the cele.
bration committee, the attendance

money collected through the 25-cent
admissions will not only be enough
TO pay all expense, but will leave s5.-
900 or more balance, which likely
will be used toward erecting Nor
'wegian building on the University OF
Minnesota campus.

FR0WN UPON GARDNER PLAN
Rules Committee VIII Not Consider
Resolution for War Inquiry.

Taking his cue from President Will
sons message. in which he laid the
cold hand Of death on the Gardner
proposal for the creation OF a special
commission to make an inquiry into the
national defenses, Representative Henry,
Of Texas. chairman of the House Com
mittee on Rules, yesterday addressed a
letter to Representative Gardner, in
which he said the committee could not
see its way clear to give a preliminary
hearing on the pending resolution.
The letter of Mr.. Henry means that
the House will not pass the Gardner
resolution providing for the creation or
a national security commission TO inves-
tigate the national defenses and report
to Congress.
Representative Gardner issued a state
ment in reply to Representative Henry.
in which he said:
'T have read your letter in which you
tell me that you have consulted a ma
jorlty OF the Committee on Rules, and
that you have decided 10 refuse me a
hearing on my resolution to inquire into
the adequacy OF our army and navy FOR
our protection. You, l know. are suf-
fciently familiar with the laws OF the
House OF Representatives TO understand
that you cannot take such a step with
out first calling a meeting Of your COM
mittee. This you have not done.
III you desire to pigeonhole my reso-
luton without a hearing. you undoubted
" have the votes to do so, but you must
first call a meeting of your committee,
and at that meeting Congressman Len
root. OF Wisconsin, will require you all
to go on record.
Ordinarily. I should not care particu-
larly whether you applied the ChIoro-
form with n new sponge or an old one.
However. so far as I know. this is the
first time in the history OF the United
states that a member OF Congress has
been denied a hearing on his own meas-
ure by the committee to which 1t was
referred. Therefore. I think il well that
the names OF you history-makers should

ture believers in the doctrine Of 'pitiless

Is NEWMAN'S DEFENSE
Commissioner Raises Point that Presi-
dent Reviewed Testimony and
Decided in His Favor.

The Court of Appeals yesterday heard
arguments Of attorneys in the appeal of
Commissioner Newman from the finding
Of jury in the District Supreme Court
which rendered an custer judgment
against him.
Attorney Jackson II. Ralston, for Mr..
Newman, raised the point that the court
erred, in the first hearing. in not per
mitting the Commissioner to introduce the
fact that the President and the Senate
reviewed the same testimony as that
given &c the jury. and found for Mr..
Newman, believing him TO be a bona
fide citizen. II was contended that as the
President and the Senate had considered
Mr.. Newman eligible to be Commissioner,
the jury should have been instructed to
find for the defendant in the proceed
ings brought by the home rule commit
tee"
Former Senator Bailey, counsel, with
A. A. Birney, for the home rule inter-
ests, admitted that the appointment OF
Mr.. Newman by the President had
raised a presumption in his favor, but
not a conclusive one.
A decision in the case is expected ear
ly in January. Whatever the finding of
the Court of Apeals, II is expected that
the case will be taken to the Supreme
Court Of the United States.
