Judiciary Committee Of Ma
tional House of Representa-
tives SO Decides.
MAY HAVE COMMISSION
But Effort viii Be Made to Get
a Finding at Present
Session.
l.,relAI. ,a., i. r.,,a.A :.

WASHINGTON. D. c., Feb. S.
Congressional investigation OF the
judicial conduct OF Judge Aston G.
Dayton, of the United States court for
the Northern district of West Virginia,
has been practically decided upon.
The House judiciary committee met
this morning in SPECIAL called session
for the purpose of hearing the report
of the subcommittee. which has been
making an investigation regarding the
case. The subcommittee report was
made and the details of the method of
the investigation were being discussed
when call of the House for the pur-
pose OF obtaining a quorum caused the
committe to adjourn till afternoon.
me judiciary committee has prac-
tically decided to recommend an in-
vestigation Of Judge Dayton's Of
fetal conduct, and the question un-
der consideration when the adjourn
ment was taken till later in the day
was whether the committee should
recommend an immediate investiga-
tion to be concluded before the end
of the present session OF the Con
gress, or whether It should recon-
mend the appointment Of a commits
mission to sit during the interval
between this Congress and the meet
ing of the next one, and report to the
next Congress.
The probability is that an effort
will be made to have the investiga-
ton concluded and the finding OF the
House announced before the fourth
OF March. In case impeachment
should result, the present House
could impeach. and the Senate could
conduct the Impeachment proceed
ings at the next session. The House
judiciary committee has had the In
yestigatiqn under consideration ever
since Congressman Nelly offered bis
resolution calling for an .,inxestiga-
ton, several months ago. The adop-
tion of his resolution will be recon-
rnended by the committee today I'M
less there Is some further hitch mi
the proceedings.

So Far as the New Campaign
Opening in Hungary is
Concerned.
BOTH ARMIES HAMMER
AT One Another in Vicinity of
Warsaw with Furiousness
Similar to First Invasion.

LONDON, Feb. s-The news OF
the arrival at Liverpool under the
American flag OF the Cunard line
teamer., Lusitania, is given much
space in the English papers today.
The information was received too
late to permit of much editorial com
/, ment as yet but enough has been
printed to show that the incident is
regarded as one OF great Importance.
II is not generally expected, how
ever, that the British government
will take further action unless Wash
ington requests an explanation.
In the real of military interest all
eyes today are turned toward the
eastern battlefront. Here, the tre-
smendous efforts of both sides have
not as vet produced any results
worthy to be called decisire. The
4 Russian forces which have feen Civ
ling ground before the furious attacks
iof the reinforced Austro-German

1.-THE fighting in front OF Warsaw II
is generally believed in England that
the most critical action is developing
lin the Carpathians, where the re-
ported Russian reverses will compro-

against Hungary.
Except for several minor attacks
OF the Germans on Newport, the
western line Of battle evidently has
enjoyed quiet week end. Air and
sea operations also have been sus-
pended during the last few. days,
London not even being thrilled by
the usual Sunday rntHoFs that Yep.

 TURK POSITIONS

Rotterdam, Nov. 22.-(Special to The Press. "A tremendous assault upon Turkish positions on the Gal lipoli peninsula was begun at an early hour this morning, according to advices received from Constanti- nople. Heavy guns are booming both on land and sea, British vessels at the entrance to the Dardanelles participating with their long range rifles. The Turks are replying viz orously. So far as known nothing definite has been accomplished.
 The offensive just begun is re- garded as Kitchener's negative re- ply to the proposal that the enter prise be abandoned by Great Brit ain.

HIGH GIRLS ARE TAUGHT
 WAY TO WASH BABY

Painesdale, Mich, Nov. 22-South Range high school girls know how to wash baby.
 Real practical knowledge so that the students are fitted for the fu- ture is the aim of the high school teachers. Hence an invitation was sent to Miss Anna Abrahamson of the Copper Range hospital to come to the school and teach the senior girls how to wash babies and do it so the squall would be least pro- nounced.
 The bid was accepted and to make sure that the demonstration would be of the right sort, Miss Abrahamson took with her the babe with the. best-cultivated voice. An old wooden tub was placed in the room and the girls went at the ba- by with a vengeance. It cried itself to sleep.
 This proved such pleasing ex- perience that the girls decided to learn how to wash grown-up pa tient. The blinds and curtains were drawn tight and one of the maid ems impersonated a patient on top of the teachers desk.

LAND OWNERS IN TEXAS
 MUST KILL PRAIRIE DOGS

Austin, Texas, Nov. 22.-Prairie dogs are declared to be a public nuisance, according to an act pass ed at the special session of the thirty-fourth legislature, and which act is now effective. The act also provides for their extermination, but no bounty is given by the state for eliminating the so-called pests. Owners of land on which prairie dogs exist are required under the law to kill them, and an allowance of two years is given to such own CTS to rid their lands of the hui sance.
 It is also made the duty of the county commissioners of any county in which prairie dogs exist to inves- tigate and determine whether own CTS of lands in their respective commissioners precincts have com piled with the provisions of the law In the event the owner of land on which prairie dogs exist fails to de stroy such psets, the act empowers the sheriff of the county involved to proceed and destroy the nuisance
 For his service the sheriff is al lowed $5 a day for actual service and this sum is to be paid by the county commissioners, but the amount so paid shall be assessed against the owner of the land.
