WILL SUSPEND FILlBUSTER
Senators Reach Agreement to Take
Up Appropriation Bills.

W 7PP' OP'Iae'Ofi Did,
Washington, Feb. 12.-The situa-
ton in the fight over the administra-
ton ship bill underwent a complete
change as the result of conferences
between President Wilson and con-
gressional leaders.
It was determined to relax the fight
in the senate, thus suspending the
historic filibuster while the important
appropriation bills are passed.
Meanwhile Senator Cores substi-
tute for the administration bill will
be introduced in the house as an
amendment to the Weeks bill, anoth-
er ship measure which already has
passed the senate. Under a special
rule it would be perfected to meet
the views of the administration and
then be presented to- the senate for
action as a new proposition.

days Mr.. Gaffney will inaugurate a
new high standard film service from
a producing company that is exclu-

go down instead of up as one would
reasonably expect. The admissions
will be ten and five cents to all shows

The new show house now under

Achieves Honors at Cornell

That scholarship is not the only
interest at Cornell College is shown
by the fact that Miss Frieda Kirk of
this place has recently received favor
able mention for her skill in basket
ball through which she has earned a
place as center on the crack sophomore
team at that institution.
In the series of class game contests
with which the basket ball season has
just closed at the college, the sopho-
mores had the honor of playing the
victorious team which won the champ
ionship by the narrow margin of IA
13 against their second year oppon-
ents. Positions on the girls teams
at Cornell are won by competitive
system of try-outs and it indicates
high grade athletic ability to secure
place on the teams chosen to COM
pete for the final championships.

DRAINAGE WORK IS
MOST NECESSARY
Plans Laid for Big State Meeting
to Consider Drainage Prob
lens

Dean Woods, from the College of
Agriculture; A. B. Kaercher, of
Ortonville; Fred Hodgson, of Fergus
Falls, N. D. March, of Litchfeld !;
Mr.. Korsch and County Surveyor Alb
ercrombie, of Alexandria; Erick
Thornton, R. D. Smith, E. H. Green
and S. B. Gardner, of Benson, were
among those from outside of Morris
who met at the Agricultural School
last Friday evening to carry forward
the work of forming a state drain
age association.
In the discussion of the plans and
purposes of the organization it was
repeatedly stated that this drainage
movement will prove to be the most
important factor in the further i'm
provement of agricultural Minnesota.
One speaker advocating placing all
ditch work under the control of a
state drainage commission and the
district court. the former to settle the
technical problems, and the latter to
settle in the first instance the ques-
tions which are now so often appealed
to it. All this would require thoro
revision of the drainage laws, and
such revision would have to be blocked
out by a committee of lawyers who
had had much to do with drainage
matters. The association would also
undertake an educative campaign.
In order to bring these matter to
the attention of the people of the
state, a state drainage meeting will
be called to meet in St. Paul at the
time of the annual meeting of the
State Agricultural Society, and the
committee decided to send out call
for such meeting and to begin pre-
pairing program.
After the drainage meeting, the
aff.sirs of tie West Central Develop.
tment Association were discussed in
formally. 1t appeared to be the un-
animous opinion that the corn show
should be continued.

MORRIS FIRE CHIEF
WARNS OF DANGER
Hazard of Christmas Season
Doubled this Year Because
of Two-day Holiday

Max Trantow, chief of the Morris
fire department, calls attention to the
double danger from fire which turks at
Christmas time. This year the dang
er will be double because of the two
day holiday, Saturday and Sunday, and
because both days will be observed
with Christmas tree festivals. There
fore Mr.. Trantow urges that extra
precautions be taken by the people of
Morris to prevent an outbreak of fire,
which is always inherent with the
Christmas season. He also urges that
merchants who use illuminated window
decorations guard against that danger
and the danger attendant upon the ex-
ira crowds which frequent the stores.
Many mercantile establishments led
themselves to this Christmas hazard
by using inhamable decorations. The
merchant is urged to look we'll to this
because holiday fires in stores are
usually holocausts-a match, Gig
arctic or cigar or an electrical defect
may cost many lives and result in
great loss of property.
Those in charge of Christmas tree
programs at the churches, school
houses or halls are also urged to keep
watchful eye on the greater danger
arising from the use of candles. 1t
would be wise plan, thinks Mr..
Trantow, to dispense with infamable
tree decorations, if possible. Keep
ing the children away from the
Christmas tree is another good sug-
gestion.
Reports on file at the state fire
marshal's Office at st. Paul shows a
great decrease in Christmas disasters
in recent years. This is due largely
to the abolishment of Santa Claus
visits at public Christmas TIE festi-
walls, and to more care in handling the
crowds everywhere.
Every member of the Morris fire
department will hold himself in readi
ness to respond to calls in case there
should be any tomorrow and Sunday.
But they are in hopes of having 9
freless Christmas and that nothing
shall disturb their plans for a merry
time.

RUG SAVES DOCTOR.
IN CASEXPLOSION
Morris Dentist Seriously Injured
in Office Fire-Smothers
Flames with Carpet

Miss Hulda Olson, assistant at the
DR.. Geenty dental offices, and a floor
rug probably saved the life of DR..
George Geenty at his dental Office last
Friday afternoon when fire caused
by gas explosion set fire to DR.. Geen-
tvs clothing and seriously burned his
hands, arms, forehead and nose. Miss
rOlson's hair was on fire when she
grabbed the office rug and threw it
onto DR.. Geenty and both rolled on
the floor to smother the flames.
DR.. Geenty was at work in the lab
oratory on inlay work for a patient.
He used gas in the blow-pipe and
there was something the matter with
the electrical current. While engaged
on the tooth an explosion occurred and
the room filled with fire. DR.. Geen-
ty's shirt burst into fame and he re-
ssembled a human torch when he
rushed into an adjoining room. Miss
Olson, who was standing near when
the explosion occurred, followed with
fire in her hair. In the reception
room both rolled themselves into the
rug and succeeded in extinguishing the
flames. The, fire in the laboratory was
sextinguished afterwards. The dam
age to the office furniture and equip
ment was slight but the doctor was
severely burned about the hands and
arms. Minor burns were received in
the forehead and on the nose. Miss
Olson escaped without pain or serious
loss of hair. DR.. Geenty was taken
to the Starbuck hospital Tuesday
morning after having received medical
attention from Drs. Hulburd ano
Leuty. While his injuries are not
regarded as alarming they are serious
enough and it will probably be six
weeks before DR.. Geenty is able to
resume full charge of his Office.

CHRISTMAS FINDS
FATHER IN GRAVE
Arthur Judd, Prominent Morris
Farmer, Summoned by Death
Late Sunday Night

Arthur Judd, one of the prominent
and highly respected farmers near
Morris, died at his home Sunday night
shortly before midnight after brief
illness with pneumonia. The news
of his death came as a shock to his
friends and neighbors with whom he
had mingled only a few days before.
He was forty six years of age and
the last Of the family of three broth
ers who came from one OF the pioneer
families of the county. He leaves a
wife and one daughter and sister to
mourn his passing. To them the pre-
sent Christmas will bring only sad
ness.
Deceased was born in Lawrence
county, N. Y, and most of his life
had been spent in this county. He
was known as an Industrious, charit-
able and honorable man in all his
dealings and was making success of
his farming operations on his land
which included part of the family
homestead. He was a man of gener-
Gus impulses and gave freely to those
whose appeals reached him, but many
of his charitable acts will never be
known.
The funeral was held Wednesday
afternoon from the First Methodist
church in Morris and the funeral was
largely attended. The floral contri-
buttons were many and beautiful.
Rev. Henry Nobbs conducted the
services and spoke feelingly of the
dead. Mrs. Judd, mother of the
deceased lives at Sandstone and be-
cause of infrmities and old age was
unable to attend the funeral. The
remains were laid at rest with fit.

Railroad Men BUSY

Ortonville Journal . Preliminary
work is being carried out for the line
of road to be run from Brooton to this
place. A meeting was held in Arti-
choke township short time ago and
the proposition placed before the
farmers, requesting $1.25 per acre
bonus from all land within a radius
of six miles from the line of road,
no money to be paid until the road
was in operation. This is a very low
figure for a railroad to ask, and there
is no question but what all will be
willing to pay that amount for it will
more than add that much to the price
of the land.

MUCKLER RETIRES
FROM SHOW FIELD
J. J. Gaffney Buys Interests of
Partner at Orpheum and
Will Improve Service

The Orpheum theatre in this city,
one of the most popular show houses
on the line between Willmar and
Fargo, became the sole property of j..
j. Gaffney of this city last Thursday
afternoon when a deal was completed
between himself and C. ]. Muckler,
founder and promoter of the motion
picture venture in Morris. The deal
was made for cash at figure highly
satisfactory to Mr.. Muckler who had
spent many years of toll in bringing
the house to such popularity in Morris
and among the travelling road show
companies. Mr.. Gaffney will make
a number of changes in the film
service and announces his intentions
of introducing many new features
which have been developed in the
moving picture world within the past
year. Mr.. Gafney has the reputation
of good business man, has abund-
ant capital to push his plans and his
friends predict his assured success.
Mr.. Muckler has not decided just
what he will do in the future but it is
within the range of possibilities that
he and his family will leave Morris
in the spring. He has a couple of
motion picture propositions in South
Dakota under consideration. After
a deserved rest over the holidays he
will announce his plans. This week
Mr.. Muckler is assisting the sales
force at the Vinje clothing store. 81
think Mr.. Gaffney will make a sue
cess of the picture business in Morris
and will give his patrons many new
stunts that are bound to prove pop
ular," said Mr.. Muckler yesterday.
"Since entering the field with me
last spring Mr.. Gaffney has been
observing and his gained a remark
able insight to the requirements of
the amusement business. Our rela-
tions were always pleasant and | am
gald to see him succeed to a business
that has been delightful as we'll as
profitable to me-.
Mr.. Gaffney is now building a
second show house in Morris which he
expects to open some time in Febru-
ary. He is putting something like
$50, 900 into the amusement business
in Morris and intends to have the
best there is for his friends. The
Orpheum will be continued as a pic
