TRUST CONTROL
Three Bills In Accord With Message
Of President Wilson Introduced
Sent By Representative Clayton
SUBMITTED TO THE HOUSE
Are As Agreed Upon In Conference
Between The Chief Executive And
Congressional Leaders

Washington, Jan. 24.-Administra-
ton leaders In congress settled down
to deliberations on the tentative anti.
trust measures designed to supple
ment the Sherman act, in accordance
with suggestions by President Wilson.
Measures prohibiting interlocking
difsotoratea, defining restraints OF
trade included within the meaning of
terms OF the Sherman act, and pro.
hibiting "aut throat" competition,
wsce introduced in the house by Rep
rSssntaMvs Clayton in the form
agreed upca in conferences.
Senator Newlands, chairman of the
Interstate commerce committee, plan.
ned to Introduce them with the inter-
state trade commission bill in the
senate as soon as the Alaska railroad
bill was out of the way.
IN the trade relations measures no
provision vas made for the prohibit
tion OF holding companies as suggest
ed in President Wilson's message,
but 1t was announced that the COM
ndfttees would further consider that
phase Of the trust regulation program
and probably would add q section to
the bill.
It was explained that the reason for
emitting reference to that subject was
because neither the president nor ad-
ministration leaders had determined
just how far the government should
no.

MANY FANS DISAPPOINTED
Akeley High School Basketball Team
Fails To Show Up For Game

Several hundred basketball follow
ers of the Bemidji high school quint
were disappointed at the failure of the
Akeley quint to come here for
game, which has for a week been
scheduled for last night. No word
had been sent by the Akeley manage

would not come, and as the train
which would bring them here <was
not due until nearly eight, all de-
tails for the game were complete
The action of the Akeley boys not
only caused disappointment to many
fans, but cost the high school Ath-
letic association several dollars,
which had been expended in adver-
Using.

COPPER ROD AROUND EARTH
Scientist Would Correct Some Of Our
Weather Vaearies.


Weather Vagaries.
London, Jan. give have built
miles Of railroad and why should we
not now spend the capital in CONTROL
Ing the weather."
This was the keynote of Sir Oliver
Lodges lecture before the institute of
electrical engineers.
His theory is that the sun dis
charges a mixture of ions with posi-
tive and negative electricity, but the
magnetic poles coax the positive por.
ton to the polar regions where they
are wasted in aurora borealis, while
the warmer climates get the benefit
only of the negative ions. Sir Oliver
therefore advocates the shifting of
the magnetic poles. ae.s.s.
much could be done by placing a
copper rod around the earth parallel
to the equator which would be able to
discharge millions of amperes and thus
correct the present climatic, vaga.
ries," he said.

'TECHNlC Atty NAY
CAUSE DROPPING
AMENDMENT VOTE
Law Provides That Thirty Whole
Days Must Intervene Between First
Published Notice and Election
MEANS ANOTHER LONG DELAY
Not Likely That Proposed Revision
Of Bemidji Charter Will Be
Placed on Ballot One day Short

The brief period Of twenty-four
hours is likely to restrain the citi-
zens of 'Bemidji from voting on the
charter amendments which were sug-
gested by the council and approved
by the charter commission last week.
Bemidji's city election will be held
on Tuesday, February II, and in or
der that the amendments could he
placed upon the ballot and left to
decision of the voters the law pro-
Vides they be published in legal
newspaper at least 80 days before
the approaching election.
One Day Lacking
The charter commission took ac-
ton on Saturday evening january
II, and on Monday evening the
were published. This
provided a period of exactly thirty
days, dating from the day of publica-
ton, January 49,, to election day,
II. City officials were of
the opinion that four weeks, twenty
eight days were sufficient length Of
time for the notices, but this law has
since been amended.
Thirty Whole Days
AS the law now stands published
notices must have been printed thir-
ty days, each of twenty-four hours,
before the day of election. This
would mean that either the first day
or last day Of. the period of publica-
ton must be excluded, thereby MAX
ing 'ote on the amendments IL
legal. -.
1t is not known whether the city
officials will yet cause the amend
ments to be placed upon the ballots,
but should the voters of Bemidji pass
the amendments any citizen could
take the matter before the courts
and the legality there decided. This
action would of course cause the city
no little expense. 1t is not likely,
however, that the amendments will
be put to the voters.
..- The Amendments
Among the amendments which
would have been placed before the
voters Of Bemidji is the one calling
for a salary Of $50 month for the
mayor and of three dollars meeting
for the alderman, not to exceed 500
a year. %
The amendments also provide for
a park commission of five members,
all to be named by the mayor. These
members would serve for period of
five years.
The initiative, referendum and re-
call is provided for, and the terms of
the alderman heightened from two
to four years.
