pense both for car fare and for bare
cost OF materials used in repairing the
teeth. The University will contribute
the work of its faculty men and adj
yanced students in dentistry without
remuneration.
Reports from both army and navy
recruiting station show that a high
percentage of the men who want to
enlist have defective teeth, and au,
thorities believe that the number OF
men who will come here under the
new ruling will be very large. The
dental college at the University has
chairs and other equipment for lao
dentists, which is the greatest capaci
ty of any dental clinic west of Chicago
and one of the largest in the United
States.
( II it is found in the examination OF
IA man at recruiting station that the
repair of his teeth would make him
physically fit, he will be given trans
portation pass to Iowa City. When he
pi esents himself at the dental clinic
at the University, the necessary teeth

THE LAST WEEK
Of LEGISLATURE
PROSPECTS ARE FOR MUCH
wRANeLINe DURING TIME.
IT'S POLITICS VS.. BUSINESS
After Defeating the Eighth Supreme
Judge and Long Term for County
.a Officers Same Crowd to 90
After Bank Examiner.

Des Moines. April 9.-What may be
the last week of the Slth legislature
opened today with another antiadmin
isration, factional fight brewing.
Flushed with victory in their efforts
to defeat the eighth supreme court
iudgship bill and the four year term
for county officers, the opponents of
the so-called kitchen cabinet or SAL
niger machine" are cunning for the
job they themselves created for George
Messenger, kitchen cabineteer, in c.
tablishing a new state banking de-
partment. Governor Harding appoint
ed Messenger bank commissioners.
Now a movement is underway in
both branches of the general assembly
to repeal the law. Failing in direct
repeal, they will try every possible
subterfuge to wipe out the job Mes
senger was appointed to FILL
The senate sitting committee, fina!
arbiter on new bills in the senate, re-
fused to introduce the repeal bill
That is, two members of the commit
tee voted against it and even one adj
verse vote can prevent a bill coming
out of the sitting committee. The
hackers of the movement are seeking
a way in the house.
Repeal of a law in the same legis-
lature which enacted the law is doubt
ed by some members. Others believe
a two thirds vote in both houses could
repeal the law, but it is unlikely that
the movement against Messengers, job
can muster such strength.
. The rebellion against the kitchen
cabinet" is generally attributed to the
resentment of legislators over inter
ference with their prerogatives.i Sew
eral friends of Governor Harding
openly deplored the manner in which
the dtchen cabinet" has "foisted it.
self upon the administration.
The war with Germany, as. well as
the large amount of unfinished bust
ness in both houses may result in the
session being extended until April Fl.
However both houses have voted To
adjourn sine die on next Saturday
and the way to an extension lies only
in the reconsideration motion filed in
the senate.
Code revision and primary reforms
are the principal issues pending with
some chance of passage.
The modified form of blue law re-
peal which passed the senate is slated
for defeat in the house, it is predicted.
The same hitch appears for the sen
ate's action in favoring repeal of the
capitol extension tax. ..
Night sessions in the house this
week, and possibly of house sitting
committee, point to adjournment next
Saturday. The house would have had
a sitting committee last week but for
the demands of the Elwood faction re-
garding its membership Speaker
Pitt hesitates to defy them and yet
Is unwilling to give them virtual con-
troll of the committee. ..
The house will have another set-to
with road legislation this week. the
Foster road patrol bill and the Bal
kema federal aid measure, both SCH
ate bills, are on the. calendar for early
action. Both are expected to pass.

GRAND FORKS JURY
FREES DEFENDANTS
N BONE DRY CASE

Grand Forks, y. D., Nov 26.-At 10
o'clock tonight a jury in the United
States district court which has been
hearing the case Of the government
against the East Grand Forks Brew
ing company and others, charged with
having violated the so-called bone dry
act of March 3, 1917, returned a YER
dict of not guilty, after having been in
the jury room for almost seven hours.
The principal defendants were pres
ent in the court room, but the officers
of the North Dakota law enforcement
league, which had been instrumental
in instituting the charge, were not
there AS soon as the verdict had
been announced and the jurors dis
charged, John H. Mc1nerny shook
hands with each of the jurors and
thanked them for the effort which they
had put into their work for the pur-
pose of ascertaining the exact truth
in the case.
The court thereupon adjourned,
Judge Amidon, Clerk of Court Mont
gomery, Chief Deputy United States
Marshal GanlmOns, all returning to
Fargo, together with several members
of the jury.
A week from Monday the court will
open it's term at Bismarck, where
several important cases are pending.
Grand Forks, n. D., Nov. 25.-When
United States district court convened
today Judge Amidon announced that
he would permit the case of the gov
eminent vs. Grand Forks Brewery, ct
al, on count one, which charges con-
spiracy to cause liquor to be trans
ported from Minnesota to North Da'
kota.''
He dismissed all other counts, num-
bering A., which charged violation of
the bone dry law.
Counsel for the defense then moved
that the conspiracy charge be dis
missed on the ground that fair trial
could not be had, but the court over
ruled his motion. The United States
district attorney then began his clos
ing arguments. ~
