LOTUS METHODS
WEREDISGRACE'
TO DEFEATE CAN.
DIDATES WHO DO NOT VOTE
HIS WAY ON MEASURE

Bismarck, N. D., Feb. 3.--The cat
tie driving tactics attempted by
George LOTUS in compelling North
Dakota legislators to vote favorably
on the question of establishing state
owned terminal elevator in Minnesota
seems today to have effectively dis
posed of. so far as this assembly iss
concerned, the proposal to construct
and operate such a terminal.
Applying the lash of personal pre-
judice unrelentingly and branding
every legislator who opposed the ter
minal proposition as being governed
by ulterior motives. Lotus and his
crowd divorced from themselves not
only many men who were actually in
favor of the proposition, but likewise
they drove many Of those who had
still bee, undecided over to the other
side of the proposition.
Lotus in His Glory
Dealing with some members as "bad
eggs" with others as "bad Ones
and. still others as "bad actors" Lof-
tus never will be more in his glory in
dealing with personal prejudice than
he was last night, when an insulting
effort was made to line up the legisla-
ture by threatening political death to
every man who opposed the terminal
scheme.
Beginning with the bold assertion
that the opponents of the terminal
plan had been "fixed" by the Board
of Trade of Minnesota, LOTUS
launched into his ribald discussion OF
the terminal question, calling the roll
of members.
Legislators Disgusted
Hoots and Kisses greeted him, many
members of the assembly who had
come to the meeting for the purpose
Of getting information, being thor
oughly disgusted with the tactics.
One one occasion Lotus singled out:
Thomas Hall, secretary of state, for
bit of his personal prejudice work
Mr.. Hall, CHANGING to be among the
interested spectators. ut was the
most disgraceful affair in the history
Of the state,' said one prominent leg
islator this morning.
"No self respecting citizen of North Z
Dakota would uphold such blackmail-
ing methods as were attempted to-
whip this legislature into line for any
proposition. ! mistake the temper
Of this legislature, if it doesn't show
it's resentment for Lotus and his
methods by overwhelmingly defeating
this proposition when it comes up"
Leonard Kissed Down
Representative Leonard, who at
tempted to explain to the conventions
of Equity delegates that he was not.
yet in a position to vote one way or
the other on the terminal question, de-
claring that he had come to the meet
ing for information, was practically
hissed into his seat by the delegates
and his position attacked by Lotus
in bitter terms.
Many Society of Equity supporters
in the legislature are free to admit
that their cause has been materially
injured by LOTUS bulldozing tactics

CONCENTRATES
SEVERAL CHANGES
MAY MAKE FIVE
CHANGES IN EDUCATIONAL
LAWS

Bismarck, N. d., Feb. Five dras-
tic changes in the educational laws OF
North Dakota are contemplated in
bills that are being prepared by the
educational committee Of the house of
representatives.
The most vital of these affect the
higher institutions of learning, and
the high schools.
These changes are apart, too, from
the proposal to repeal the teachers
pension fund act of two years ago,
which act has been attacked in Rep
resentative Watts measure, that met
with such immediate favor in the edu-
cational committee that it was report
ed back to the house for passage with
in two days of it's introduction, the
committee being unanimous for the
adjustment Of the system.
High School Situation First
Probably of most widespread inter
est is the situation as affecting the
high schools Of the state. There is no
little feeling against the plan of state
aid to high schools, as now carried
out in the state. This has been evi-
denced in numerous ways, coming to
the surface in the message of Cover
nor Hanna, in the educational COM
mittee of the house, and likewise in
the hearings of the Lathrop investi-
eating committee, when that commit
tee had Superintendent of Public in
struction E. ]. Taylor before it.
There is one feature of the state aid
bill that has been particularly critiz-
ed at this time, that being the provi-
sion which demands that the school
receiving the aid must spend forty per
cent of such aid for new equipment
whether the school needs it or not, as
opponents of the plan are wont to ex-
press themselves when discussing the
subject.
State Aid Infinitismal
The state aid, as compared with the
total cost of operating a high school
is infnitismal. To the city of Grand
Forks, or to others Of the larger cities
of the state, aid given by the COM
monwealth means practically nothing
so far as increased efficiency is con-
cerned.
In small communities, capable Of

CHICAGO MARKET
REACHES SLIGO
NEW HIGH RECORD FOR WHEAT
IN CHICAGO-LIVERP
MARKET UP

Minneapolis, Feb. 2.-Minneapolis
May wheat, for which $1.50 bushe]
was predicted weeks ago, not only
reached that price today, but went
through it without a stop and struck
$1.51 IL.
The Liverpool market, which has
not been quoted for more than two
weeks, was up six pence today, when
the cables came through. It was a his
tory making advance in the English
market, the like of which the oldest
trader in the pit never before witness
ed.
100000 Bushels Sold
Up to yesterday the high price for
Minneapolis May had been $1.44 7-8.
Yesterday it went to $1.48 SO: When
it got to $3.50 today, more than L.
600, 900 bushels Of wheat, it was re-
ported, came on the market here and
in Chicago, from holders who had car
ried it up from much lower levels and
who were selling to take the profits.
But it did not break the market. On
the contrary, selling was absorbed and
the new buying carried figures higher
than ever.
$1.6O in Chicago
Chicago broke all bounds and sold
to $1.6O for May wheat. Traders in
the Chicago pit were said to have sold
Chicago May short yesterday on the
sensational advance to the new high
point at $1.57. There was scramble
when the market opened today, and
S1.6O was hit, with buying orders still
coming in.

Mason City, March 25.-Five Of the
Mason City Greeks who were up for
deportation, have been dismissed by
the circuit court Of appeals. This Is
case which has attracted more than
state wide interest. Steve Pantaz,
Peter Hagee and other Greeks were
operating what was known as the
Main Cafe and they were seemingly
doing a large amount of business. The
police of the city were apprised that
a number of girls between the ages OF
Is and 20, were frequently visitors at
the place. Inspector Whitfield was
called to the city to look into the mat
ter and he.had twenty Of the girls be-
fore him for examination, and accord
ing to the report. very immoral con-
dition was found to exist. An effort
was then made to deport the men.
Alleged Star Chamber Hearing.
Judge Henry T. Reed. in the federal
court at Dubuque. heard the case. The
contention, on the part of the defense.
at this time was that the Whitfield
hearing was of the '.star chamber"
variety, and that the men accused had
no opportunity to question the wit
nesses or to bring in witnesses in their
defense. After considering the evil
dence submitted to him. Judge Reed
dismissed the case without prejudice
to the right of the immigration bureau
to proceed further. The government
carried the case to the court Of appeals
and they now order that the case be
dismissed and that the immigration
bureau is without any Jurisdiction in
the matter. The only thing now left
is action on the part of the state or the
ordinances of the city.
Deportations Contrary to Law.
In number of instances in this state
the inspector has acted in such mat
tiers and there have been deporta tions
but it now appears that all such action
has been contrary to law. The court
of appeals did not endeavor to touch
