Shortage. u
COLD WEATHER RETARDS
GRAIN SHIPMENTS

Washington, Mar. 1.-Generally
good business conditions throughout
the country are reflected in reports
of Federal Reserve agents made pub.
lie tonight by the Federal Reserve
board. Growing scarcity of raw ma
terials used in many American indus
tries is noted, however, and the
southern agents predict an increase
in cotton acreage this year, unless
steps are taken to prevent it.
From New York comes the report
that there are more products and
workers in that district, and that the
industrial activity there is of record
character Manufacturers OF automo-
biles, tools and firearms, and the roll
ing mills, show the greatest increases
in production.
Scarcity of basic raw materials,
the Chicago agents say, are receiving
the earnest attention of manufacture
ing industries dependent on them.
Reports from the farming sections OF
the district indicates a reduced wheat
acreage this year, but the farmers
are said to have an increased pur-
chasing power. Tho automobile in
dustry is at a record pace.
Cold weather has retarded grain
shipments in the Minneapolis district,
and to a considerable extent the lum-
Der wholesale business.
Car shortage, the report says, is
causing difficulties and the coal situa-
ton threatened at one time to be-
come serious.
Prospects for the spring are called
excellent.

GERMAN NEGOTIATIONS

Congress Will Meet Today, Fac.

Washington, March 1.-President
Wilson served notice on congress to-
night that he will consent to nothing
less than a record vote on the anti.
administration resolutions to warn
Americans off the armed ships of Eu-
rOpean belligerents before he goes on
with the German submarine negOtia-
tions.
No compromise proposition, such as
vote of confidence in the president S
foreign policy, will be acceptable.
Such an action, it is held, might be
construed in Berlin as justifying the
opinion that the president lacks the
support of congress and his own par
ty, in his demands for full observ-
ance of international law, while its
only purpose would be to afford mem
bers of congress a way to avoid re.

STILL DANCER
FROM FLOODS
ALONG RIVER
Missouri Is Open From Elk Point,
S. d. to Mississippi, But Is
Solid Here.
BIG GORGE AT MOUTH
OF YELLOWSTONE RIVER

While the heighth4Of the water in
the Missouri has remained practically
stationary for the past AZ hours, dan
ger from floods is by no means past,
according to Orris W. Roberts of the
United States weather bureau station
here. There is no immediate danger
as long as the present weather condi-
tions exist, but Observer Roberts
looks for a decided rise in tempera-
ture before Saturday.
Conditions at Mandan are about
the same. The gorge in the Heart
river is still frozen solid,, and there is
little chance TO break it while the
cold spell lasts.
The Missouri has remained practic-
ally stationary here for the past 4S
hours, as i. has at Rec and Washburn
with fall Of two feet recorded at
Williston in the same period of time.
The river, however, is within 1.6 feet
of reaching the high banks south Of
this city.
South End Open.
The Missouri is open from Elk
Point, S. D., 80 miles north of Sioux
City, Iowa, to the mouth, but from
that point north the stream is frozen
solid to it's source. With the warm
weather predicted there is still con-
siderable danger from floods along
the river.
Frank Ingalls, of jamestown, one of
the Northern Pacific officials who
has watched the river for 80 years,
says that it has reached the highest
stage on record without taking out
the ice. Mr.. ingalls, believes that the
crest of the high water is here now,
but does not look for the ice to go
out before the middle of this month.

AT HOME OF BAUME

Night Marshal Broom;
Confessed Shooting.

Thursday Of hast week. At 1915 p
M. +. A. Baume shot and killed Rer-
ton AlsobrOok, at Center Point. In
the Eighth Ward.
1t Is said the shooting was the re-
suit Of jealousy. AlsObrOok was shot
in the back of the head, just as ne
was coming out Of Baume's gate,
Coroner Bulloch stating that the
shot could be traced. by the wadding
from the gun, from the body OF the
dead man to a pig-pen behind which
Baume was supposed to be standing.
Alsobrook must have died instantly
as the double-barrel shot gun used
was charged with buckshot and the
range short.
Baume was placed in the parish
jail at Covington. 1t is reported that
Baume and Alsobrook had had q diff
ticulty previous to the shooting, but
no evidence Of this appears in the
proceedings OF the inquest.
Alsohrook has not borne good rep
utation. Baume states that he had
been badly beaten up by Alsobrook
and that he only shot him because it
became necessary to save his life.
and Baume's condition bears out hi
statement, as he is bruised and band
aged. He gave himself up to Night
Marshal Broom, of Sltdell, and was
brought to Covington Saturday.
