MOORHEAD, Mimi, Feb. 4.-The

ing issue in the municipal election Feb.
16. The question of the mayoralty is
only secondary. DR.. Awty and Editor
Melander are the candidates with the
chances largely favoring Awty's cleo
ton. There has been talk Of John
Vincent entering the race as a can

At first it was thought the "wets''
would easily win the election, but the

HELD FOR + TRIAL
ASAUTo
Dakota R0bber Band Believed to
Have Maintained 'sFence"
in Sioux City.

SIOUX FALLS, S. D., Feb. 3.-As
the result Of preliminary examine
ton in Sioux Falls court, J. r. KEEL
ton, aged %, who was arrested in
Sioux City on the charge of being one
Of the automobile bandits who have
robbed several stores in South Dakota,
has been held for trial. The charge in
this case is that he was implicated in
the robbery on the night of Jan. 10 Of
the store Of Peterson & Kinseth, at
Cotton, about 20 miles from Sioux
Falls. Silks to the value Of $500 were
carried away by the thieves.
When arrested Kelton was wearing
clothing and other apparel which was
identified by w. E. Clark, a merchant
of. Parker, s. D., as goods which had
been stolen from his store on the night
Of Jan. % by three men in an auto
mobile. From the Clark store goods
valued at $500, including % suits of
clothes, Is pairs Of gloves and an over
coat were carried away.
Kelton also is thought to have been
one Of several robbers who, about two
weeks ago, entered store at Alcester
and escaped with nearly 100 suits of
clothing valued at $1,000. An auto
mobile, without lights, was seen to
leave Alcester about the time the rob.
berry is believed to have been COM
mitted.
Kelton and his alleged companions
also are believed to have been i'm
plicated in store robberies at Tripr
and other places in South Dakota
What became of the great bulk Of thu
stolen goods is mystery, but it j:
believed the gang turned them ovel
to some confederate in Sioux City.

STEEL CENTERS
WOULD LIKE new
ADMINISTRATION
Eastern Furnaces More Active
Than in December But Un-
certainty Surrounds Future.

While there was more activity in
eastern furnace centers during Janu-
airy than during December, when &C.
tual conditions were not as good as
the majority of people believed them
to be, there is still doubt as to the
future Of the iron and steel trade as
it affects ore shipments from the Me-
saba Range, according to Clement X.
Quinn, Virginia mining man, who re-
turned this morning from a several
weeks visit in New York, Pittsburg,
Cleveland and other eastern furnace
centers.
"Men prominent in the iron and
steel business in the east" said Mr..
Quinn this morning, "are afraid Of the
| administration. They regard it as
impractical. Business in the furnace
/ centers is spotted. In some sections
furnaces are working we'll up to ca.
pacity and in others they are idle,
Many concerns are kepeing their
furnaces busy to keep men employed
and are to large extent putting their
output in reserve. Business was much
better with furnace concerns in Janu-
airy than during December. There is
some uncertainty as to the future
Orders in sight now in some cases
will keep some concerns busy until the
first Of April. The outlook cannot at
this time be said to be optimistic, but
the hope is general that conditions
will improve and is, Of course, not
without foundation"

Optimistic at Duluth.

There is a distinct air Of optimism
about the Spalding hotel in Duluth
today according to Duluth people ar
irving in Virginia, occasioned by the
fact that C. l.. Judd is a visitor at the
head of the lakes. Mr.. Judd is the
real advance agent Of prosperity and
friends have kindly asked that he be
given due recognition as such in the
public prints.

ing of certain temperance workers by
the "wet" element of the Commercial
club, and other incidents have made
sufficient impression to indicate a close
fight.

lieve they have majority of 70 votes.
Another check up will be made next

CHILDREN PLEAD
FOR END OF WAR
Half a Million American Children
viii Petition for Peace Be-
tween Warning Nations.


for peace in the war-wasted countries
Of Europe will be presented this month
to the ambassadors of the belligerents
by half a million American children,
in the name of their suffering cousins
across the water. While the United
States and other non-combatant ma
tons stand passively by, afraid to Of
fend against neutrality by even a sug-
gestion that the belligerents declare
an armistice or agree to peace con-
ference, the children of the United
States have drafted their petition and
are carrying it ITO the very steps Of
the throne" The ambassadors will be
requested to forward the peace plea
of the children to their several SOW
ereigns.
Their petition is brief, but in it's
few terse sentences it declares frank
ly that the war is guilty of "frightful
slaughter" and that is "seems like
savagery fighting against civilization"
and that it has created hideous con-
ditions." They speak as the "chil-
dren and grandchildren of former sub
jects" and as tiled by blood and affec-
ton to the soldiers now contending
in their death struggle"
There are two miles of signatures
by school children in forty states. The
children Of the New York city schools
have done the work Of putting the pc
tition in shape for final presentation
It will be brought to Washington early
this month and presented by school
children.
Not the least interesting phase Of
the sentiment conveyed by the petit:
ton is the fact that it was started
as a penance. Miss Kate Devereux
Blake, principal of school in New
York, started it "in atonement for not
having taught history as it should be
taught" to all the school children who
have passed through her grades. ~
feel that if l and all the other teach.
ers of the world had taught history
as it should be taught, this war could
not: have happened" she says. "And
I could not rest until I thought Of
some way to help to try to end wa,
| for the future. It is a movement tt
discourage the spirit Of militarism ir
our American children by giving them
! higher ideals. It may not bring peace
but it will breed pacifsts."
1--WE, the undersigned children Of
America, plead with you, the rulers
Of these great nations, to call for ar
immediate armistice and to let the
differences of the warning nations bt
submitted to The Hague tribunal 70,
amicable and just settlement and tt

ties peaceably in the same way. W.
are the children and grandchildren
of your former subjects; we are many
of US tied by blood and affection tt
the soldiers now contending in theil
death struggle on different sides Of
this terrific combat; we implore you tt
stop the frightful slaughter, for to us
| it seems like savagery fighting against
civilization. We beg this on behalf Of
the helpless children of Europe and
Asia who are being deprived of their
fathers and their education and are
being irreparably degraded by the
| hideous conditions created by the war;
