PORK BARREL GRAB ALLEGED
An amendment which the house ;

An amendment which the house at
tached to the educational appropria-
tion bill, which passed the lower body
of the legislature, adds S1,434,000 to
the proposed appropriations of this leg
islature, and carries the grand total
several hundred thousand dollars over
the appropriations made by the last
legislature, declared generally to have
been the most extravagant in the
states history.
The addition was made to the ap-
preparation for state aid to high,
graded, semi-graded and rural schools
and was declared by several to be q
pork barrel grab. The money, IL
this amendment stands, will be dis
tributed among hundreds of schools
throughout the state, and each legisla-
tor will be able to return home this
week with the boast that he obtained
an increased appropriation from the
state treasury for the schools in his
home district.

To Compel Use of Home Materials

The house passed Senator J. D. Sui
livan's bill compelling the use of Min
nesota materials in the construction
of all buildings when prices as low
as those offered without the state are
made by the Minnesota concerns. The
bill is intended to give preference to
Minnesota Stone. The vote on the bill,
which must now go back to the SEN
ate for concurrence in two amend
ments by Representative Elmer E.
Adams of Fergus Falls, was II to 27.
The bill was amended by a majority
of one vote to provide that where ad-
ditional buildings are to be constructed
in group, such as at the University
of Minnesota, the same material may
he used regardless of where it is pur-
chased. Representative Edward Inde-
hus, E. E. Minnette and Knud Wefald
entered strong objections, but the
amendment was adopted by vote of
SO to SO.

WAR TO END SOON
IS RUM0R IN ROME
INTERNATIONAL QUESTIONS CON-
FRONTING ITALY MAY BE
SOLVED BY PEACE.
CAREFUL OBSERVERS HEED
Reports Are Reflected In High Quar-
ters-Expected Spring Fighting
Is Not Evident, Fact Re-
garded as Significant.

Rome, April 21.-Within the last
twenty-four hours there have arisen in
Rome persistent reports that the grave
international questions confronting
Italy may be solved in the near future
by what at first sight seems almost
incredible, the conclusion of a general
peace in Europe at not distant date.
While these reports are intangible
and cannot at present be ascribed to
definite source, they nevertheless are
reflected i'm high quarters and they are
given heed by careful observers Of in
ternational politics.
Rome Is Excellent Field.
Among other reasons in support of
this, the argument is offered that Rome
is an excellent field for the conduct
of negotiations of this nature. Prince
Won Buelow, one of the ablest of Ger
man diplomats, is in Rome as ambas-
sador to Italy; and the official rela-
tions between Italy and Germany, as
we'll as between Italy and the powers
of the triple entente, are cordial.
In certain quarters in Rome the idea
prevails that the advent of spring has
not seen such resumption of aggres-
sive hostilities as had been promised,
fact regarded as significant.
Sofia is being regarded with much
interest at present. Efforts are being
made by representatives of the bellig-
erents to induce King Ferdinand to
announce his decision.
Bulgaria's Attitude Important.
The Importance of the attitude of
Bulgaria is recognized fully in Rome.
Should she side with the Teutonic AL
lies it would be difficult for Roumania
to make war upon Austria-H Hungary,
for she would then be subject to at
tack by Bulgaria as well as by Turkish
troops coming through Bulgarian ter
ritory.
In this connection a prominent dip
lomat said:
Once more is the fate OF the Bal
kans in the hands of Bulgaria. In
deed, this time her decision may have
great weight on the general develop
mert of the war"

ROOSEVELT TAKES THE STAND
SAYS BARNES URGED HIM NOT
TO ANTAGoNIZE BUSINESS.
Endeavors to Prove He Was Justified
In Publishing Statement Relative
to Barnes.

Syracuse, N. Y, April 22-Theodor,
Roosevelt went upon the witness stant
in the supreme court here and testi
fed in an effort to prove his conten
tion that he was justified in publish
| ing the statement for which William
Barnes, Jr., sued him to recover $1,000
| for alleged libel. Under oath, he saiG
that the former chairman of the Re
publican state committee had urged
him not to antagonize men of large
business who contributed both to the
Republican. and Democratic parties sc
that they would be protected.
People Not Fit to Govern?
Mr.. Barnes told him, Colonel Roose
welt swore, that it was essential to
protect big busineSs interests because
unless they were protected they would
not make contributions to the party
failing to protect them and that with
out such contributions it was impos-
sible to carry on the organization.
Without organization leaders and boss
es, the former president quoted Mr..
Barnes as saying, party government
would be impossible.
Colonel Roosevelt also quoted Mr..
Barnes as telling him that 1.-The peo-
pie are not fit to govern themselves,
They had to be governed by the party
organization, and you cannot run an
organization, you cannot have leaders,
unless you have money"
Colonel Roosevelt was called to the
stand as witness for the plaintiff
after a technical question of proper
Identification of the plaintiff, and de-
fendant had been brought up by the
lawyers. He was asked just one ques-
tion. That was whether he was the
defendant in the action. He replied
in the affirmative and was then made
a witness in his own behalf.
He sketched his political career and,
with considerable pride, discussed the
regiment of Rough Riders he organ
lied for service in the Spanish war.
He gave detailed testimony about his
relations with the late Senator Thomas
c. Platt, with Mr.. Barnes, and con-
versations he had with both those men
on various occasions.
Colonel Roosevelt talked to the
counsel for both sides, offered sug.
gestions and entered into discussion
Of more than one point with Justice
William S. Andrews, presiding. whom
he addressed as Judge" He was en-
tirely at his ease in the witness chair.
He stretched his arms over the back
of his chair, crossed first one leg and
then the other and adjusted and re.
adjusted his glasses from time to time.

London, April 2o-Reuter's Athens
correspondent says the bombardment
of the DardaneIIes has been resumed
An aeropIane also eircIed over Tene
dos and unsuccessfuIIy dropped bombs
in the port and at several warships
| Allied seaplanes pursued the Turkish
aircraft, which escaped.
London, April 20.-The British, as
an Offset to their success in destroying
Turkish torpedo bob which attacked
the transport Manitou off Chios lost
the submarine ELS, which, while carry
ing out a difficult reconnaissance in the
Dardanelles mine field, ran aground on
Kephez Point, the crew being made
prisoners. According to the Turkish
report, seven of the crew are miss
ing.
In Egypt, British armies have been
dropping bombs on the Turkish en-
campment near the border, while a
French cruiser, the fire of which was
directed by seaplane. has been throw
ing shells on the Turkish near Ell Ar
ish, where the army for the invasion of
Egypt has it's headquarters.
To Harass the Turks.
These operations were undertaken
presumably to harass the Turks as the
Turks have not shown any intention
of attacking the British since their last
repulss along the canal
In the Carpathians there has been
fighting, but no battle to be compared
with those which the arrival of spring
brought to close. The Austrians of
ficially report that they have repulsed
Russian attacks to the southeast of
1.upkow Pass, infiicting heavy losses
on their adversaries, but elsewhere
comparative calm prevails.
The French have again become &C.
tive in the Vosges, capturing an i'm.
portant height near Metzeral. The
British, too, have attacked the Ger
mans in the neighborhood of Ypres.
where fighting was still in progress
when the last report was dispatched.
The sinking of the Greek steamer
Ellispontos by a submarine off the
Dutch coast is likely to bring about
some friction between the Greek and
German governments. The Ellispontos
was destroyed while on a voyage from
Ymuiden, Holland, to Montevideo, in
ballast.
