by Cool Heads.

WASHINGTON, May Prairie
dogs stirred up mo-e trouble in the
senate today than tariff currency
tolls or woman suffrage had done in
the entire session Before the furry
was over one senator had denounced
another as "faIsitler" and democrats
had been accused of converting the
pdrtys economy pledge into "a satire.

AshuIst being absent from the senate
when il agreed TO a Sl2b,OOU item
in the agricultural appropriation bill
for Investigating noXious farm ami
mails Today the senator asked a re-
consideration that be might insert "a
$4,000 increase for the Investigation
of the methods of eXterminatng the
prairie dog, which he said had up
rooted whole townships in Arizona.
Senator Bristow announced that an
appropriation for tho determination
of prairie dogs was the most asinine
thing he ever heard of, because every
farmer knew how to get rid OF them.
Everything | do seems asinne to
the senator from kansas, retorted
Senator Ashurst.
For a minute the storm promised
to pass over. but Senator Gronna
started it up anew by answering a re-
mark OF Senator Bristow by declar-
ing, with some heat, that certain SEN
ators tried to be facctious about
everything.
81 am not in favor Of calling out
the army and navy to eXterminate the
prairie dog senator Bristow replied.
This thing looks to me like a
strained effort to get an appropriation
to give somebody some jobs.
NO one would mako that statement
whose brains were not at the base
OF his tongue instead Of his head f.,
shouted Senator Ashurst as he ad-
vanced across the chamber toward
the Kansas senator ANY senator who
says | am seeking to get some jobs

Senator Gallinger suggested that

The roll call on reconsideration cut
short the debate. Reconsideration
was defeated by tie vote Of 20 to
20, but the debate over the prairie
dog was not over. Senator Reed took
the floor to denOunce the entire bill,
declaring many items In 1t unjusti-
fable, and that the talk Of economy
had been converted into satire.
During the debate Senator Suther-
land inquired why an appropriation
had been made to protect sugar cane

TWELFTH STUCK The JURY

Geneva, Ill, July 10.-The jury in
the case of Anthony Petras, accused
Of the murder of Theresa Hollander
last winter, disagreed, and was dis
charged at $3.50 o'clock this morning
by Judge Irwin.
Miss Hollander was dragged into a
cemetery on the outskirts of Aurora
and clubbed to death on the night of
Feb 16 last. Her body was discover
ed next morning, lying in the snow.
with her arms broken and her skull
fractured. Robbery was not the mo-
tive as all her belongings were intact.
The state attempted to prove that a.
knife, found near the body. belonged
to Petras. Miss Hollander and Petras 8
had been sweethearts up to a year be-
fore the tragedy. 1t was brought out
at the trial that the girls parents
caused a break between the two.
Shortly after Petras married Meta
Mathews. She sat with her husband
throughout the long trial and encour-
aged him. The trial began June %.
The jury which tried Petras told
Judge Irwin they could not agree, as
eleven jurors wanted to acQuit the de-
fendant but one declared he never
could be convinced that it was not
Petras who dragged the girl into the
lonely graveyard and clubbed her to
death.
The jury was out forty hours.
The one Juror who held out is said
to be Homer Eddy, a farmer and the
oldest man on the jury He has ten
children, two of them girls of the age
of the Hollander girl,
The belief of those eleven jurors is
the belief of the people of this county
at large" said Attorney Harvey,
Petras' counsel.

WARBURG
WILLSTAY
NOMINEE

Washington, July 1.-President Will
son will make no nomination for the
federal reserve board in place of Paul
Warburg Of New York until the senate
takes definite action on his name. Will
son expects thus to place the respon-
sibility on the senate for leaving the
board incomplete. That is the presi-
dents position in his fight with the
senate over Warburg's nomination, as
expressed by officials in his confidence.
That there Is no chance Of Wilson
changing his mind was stated definite
ly. Warburg has finally decided that
he will not appear personally before
the banking committee to be cross eX-
amined and the president Is backing
him in that stand.
In answer to queries whether Wilson
is making efforts to get Warburg to
appear before the committee, officials
at the White House said that any such
would be useless.
The nomination of Thomas D. Jones,
which the. banking committe voted to
report adversely, is in different posi-
ton. The fight for his confirmation
may be conducted in a minority report.

VOLCANOES ARE
DOING BUSINESS

Seward. Alaska. July 10.-All the
volcanoes along the Alaska peninsula
west of Seward to the Aleutian is
lands are in action, according to a re-
port brought by Captain McMullen of
the steamship Dirigo, which arrived
from Dutch harbor.
Captain McMullen said that the Kat
mai, the great volcano on the mainland
across Shelikof strait from Kodiak is
land, is throwing out great volumes of
sulphur laden smoke. The sea, he
said, was discolored by sulphur dust
and pumice for a distance of 100 miles
either side of the volcano.
Mount Shishaldin and Mount Pavlof,
the most active volcanoes in the Aleu-
tian islands, were smoking when the
Dirigo passed them.
Captain McMullen reported that the
natives living along the Alaska penin-
sula said the great clouds of volcanic
dust hurled into the air last month
were caused by volcanic eruptions and
not by old deposits of volcanic asf,
stirred up by the terrific wind storm,
as previously reported by passing
ships.

All Captains Have
Been Selected for
Whirlwind Effort

Extra weights for the hands have been
ARRANGED for as a safeguard.
The Big Procession.
Monday nights procession, when
prtvates and officers in the campaign
will march from campaign headquar-
ters to the ArmOry auditorium, will be
big one. 1t is planned to make the
procession almost wholly an autOmo-
bile parade. Persons who wish to offer
their automobiles for use in the pro-
cessiOn are requested to telephone Man
band will head the procession to the
ArmOry- Auditorium. The band has do
mated its services to the cause.
AS a further evidence Of the very
general enthusiasm that has permeated
the city in anticipation of this cam
paign, it should be noticed that when
the city band organization was asked
to head the parade next Monday, they,
to a man, volunteered their services as
a part Of their effort to put this thing
through. The parade, therefore, will
have not alone the enthusiasm of it's
individual members. but will have that
enthusiasm set to music by our Splen-
did band.
Every citizen Of Fargo who is inter-
ested in the Armory- is
urged to attenC the meeting in the
completed structure at s
o'clock Monday night. 1t will be there
that the spirit Of the campaign will
Crystalize. Even if you have already
inspected the auditorium and had it
explained, come to Monday nights
