The many followers OF the popular
little comedian will have an oppor-
tunity to see him in his latest COM
cdy '"The Adventure" at the Orpheum
on tomorrow and Thursday. This two
reel Mutual comedy is without doubt
Chaplin's best and is playing repeat
dates in almost every theatre so far
shown. This is the first time this pic
ture will be shown in Bismarck and
Manager Bauer has contracted to use
the same two days in order to give
everyone an opportunity to see it. IN
addition to this feature Olive Thomas,
Jack Pickford's wife, will be seen in
the wonderful comedy-drama, "lndis-
Greet Corinne," produced by the Tri--

who have seen Olive Thomas she
needs no introduction and to those
who have not all we can say is If you
fail to see "Indiscreet Corinne' you
are going to miss a big treat. And
don't forget Chaplin is on the same
bill.

AUTOMATIC RETURN SOUGHT

Washington, Jan. S-The admins
tration bill to regulate government
management of railroads was subject.
ed to its first attacks yesterday at the
capitol
Resolutions were introduced in the
senate askin gto amend the section
providing for indefinite continuance
OF government control by providing
for automatic return to private control
after the war. The basis OF compen-
sation on the earnings of the three
years ending last June 30 was criti-
cized in hearing before the senate
interstate commerce committee by
julius Kruttschnitt, chairman Of the
executive committee of the Southern
Pacific, who suggested instead the
two and half year period between
July l, 1915, and Dec. ). 1917, argu-
Ing that earnings for 1915 were below
normal.

son explain the measure. Director
General McAdoo probably will appear
later in the week to urge necessity for

clear up congestion on eastern rail
roads, and Mr.. AcAdoo appealed to
people of the United States to observe
next week as freight moving week."

unload cars and turn them back from
terminals. In anticipation Of govern
ment assistance in railroad financing,
roads were instructed to report I'M
mediately the amount Of capital they
need for the coming year.
New Demurrage Rate.
Immediately after the freight NOV
ing week. the new demurrage rates
ordered by the director general will
go into effect.
Milder weather in the east helped
today to send freight moving faster,
but a snow storm in the middle west
caused serious tieup of traffic. The
railroad administration was not great
ly concerned about the situation there,
however since the congestion is con.
sidered only temporary, and probably
will pass with the storm.

PULP MEN LIKE BURGLARS

Washington, Jan. S-Changes which
newspaper publishers want made in
contracts and trade customs for the
purchase of print paper were outlined
to the federal trade commission
at the first open hearing to obtain in
formation on which to fix paper
prices.
The commission is preparing to fix
prices under an agreement with the
manufacturers, but before action is
taken there may be new law on the
federal statute books giving it. full
power over the paper supply. While
the hearing was in progress the sen
ate made legislation recommended by
the joint congressional printing paper
committee its unfinished business for
consideration probably tomorrow. The
legislation is in the form of a resolu-
ton, which provides that during the
war the trade commission shall:
The Resolution.
"Supervise, control and regulate
production and distribution of all
paper and mechanical chemical pulp
in tho United States, and that all mills
and agencies distributing such mater
ials shall be operated on government
account"
Authority also would be given the
president to negotiate with Canada
for limiting American exports to Can
ada to government account.
Echoes of the long fight Of the pub
fishers for lower prices, eliminating
in the indictment of q num.er OF
manufacturers and their agreement to
have the commission set price for
their product, were evident in some
of the exchanges at the hearing today
between witnesses and Henry A. wise
of New York, attorney for the manu-
facturers. Emile Scholz of the New
York Evening Post testified he sign
ed a contract for paper without read
ing it because he feared If he MADE
objection he could get no paper at all.
Wise and Scholz Clash
"But you made no objection what
ever to the terms of the contract, In
sisted Mr.. Wise.
II wouldn't make any objection,

Chairman Harris interrupted to say
that such remarks did not aid IN
reaching just conclusion. Mr.. Scholz
said he would retract the reference.

chief draft aide to Adjutant General
Rhinow, has announced. A special rul-
ing to that effect, made by Provost
Marshal General Crowder, directs that
railroad employees must make such
claims on Industrial grounds, the gov

sufficient to class them as government
employees. The ruling will be COM

candidates who are not in favor or prosecuting the war to the limit.
 Two million Americans will be abroad at the time of the elections and their votes would have the deciding power in districts where the vote is close. The American soldier abroad considers military service a very poor reason for losing his vote"
 Speculation as to the soldier vote abroad has been rife in the north ever since it became apparent that millions of men of voting age would be fight ing under the colors in some foreign country at the time of elections. This speculation has been confined largely to the north because in the southern states the right of franchise is not ex- ercised at election in anything like the degree 1t is in the north. For instance, the population of Georgia and Indiana are almost equal; yet in the presi- dential elections where the interest is always higher than in off years, the total vote for president in Georgia runs about 150,000 while that of Indiana runs approximately 100000. California and Alabama have about equal popula- tion, but the total vote cast in Alabama averages about 125,000 while that cast for president in California averages about S00,000. In 1916, when the votes in both states reached high water mark, Alabama's total vote for pres ident was 131,15S, while California S was 999,968. According to the census of 1910, Louisiana had 14,000 more population than Kansas, yet in the presidential election in 1916, Louis- iana's vote for president was 92,9S2, while Kansas total vote for president was 629,S13.
 These three examples are only typi- cal of the difference between the northern and southern viewpoint of the rights of suffrage. There being only one party in the south, and hence no opportunity for registering a diff ference of opinoin at elections, all southern political interest centers if the primaries.
 It is interesting to recall that dur ing the civil war the government con- sidered it the part of wisdom, justice and patriotism to permit the men who were fighting to preserve the United States to have the right to cast theil ballots in field and camp for theil choice of men who should fill the of. fees of the nation they were fighting to save.

PROMINENT MEN
 ENTER WAR WORK

George Alkire, rancher, and H. F. Griswold, general manager of the Mo Neil company, have been notified of their acceptance for overseas duty in the Y. M. c. A. They had been ordered to report at San Antonio on Monday but owing to the quarantine in that place received word yesterday to answer to the call on November 1.
 Neither man is in the draft age. MT. Alkire, who is a pioneer of the valley has large ranch interests but was willing to set aside his own personal affairs to enter the service.
 MT. Griswold is the fourth member of his family to enter war work or military service. His son, Ray Gris- wold, is in service in France and an. other son, J. F. Griswold, has been recommended for the officers training camp. His wife last summer volun- teered her services as a wireless in structor and throughout the hot weather months taught a large class that has more than doubled its mem bership this fall.

M SOLDIER ''OVER

 COMING ELECTION

Tho decision of the war department not to permit the New York state over seas commission to go abroad for the purpose Of collecting the votes of ap- proximately 100000 New York men now in military or naval service in Europe. came very unexpectedly. The majority of the commission were in New York city ready to sail, merely awaiting their passports. The war de- rartments announcement that owing Co military conditions in Europe it does not consider it advisable to permit the commission to go. to France or Europe for the purpose of obtaining the votes ot New York citizens, nor practicable Go attempt to obtain In any manner the vote of our soldiers abroad until mill tary conditions have changed, is un- dcrstood to settle definitely that our soldiers abroad will not be permitted Co vote in the November elections.
 This decision will upset all caIcula- tons of party managers in the north. lt is estimated that considerably over million voters from the northern states arc now in France. or elsewhere in Europe, engaged in military or naval service. What effect the absence of these voters will have upon the results in the northern states is problema- teal The immediate effect, of course, will be redoubled eforts on the part or thc managers of both party organi- r7tions fin the north to get out what votes remain in this country.
 No doubt the news of this decision viii come as a disappointment to the men abroad, judging from a recent statement of Congressman Isaac Sicgcl of New York city. MT. Siegei, just returned from a trip to the front, declares that members of the American EVpcditionary Force all want to vote in the forthcoming November cleo tons.

DAUGHTER WILL TRY
 ID RECOVER RANCH

In an effort to procure her fathers estate in Scottsdale, Mrs. Jessie Ferree Rawlings will take the witness stand in Judge Stanford's court and testify the father from whom she is alleged to have been estranged was mentally in competent when he deeded his ranch to his daughter-in-law, Mrs. Martha Ferree.
 The ranch is said to be worth s12,o0o and to have been deeded by David Ferree to his daughter in law because of her kindness to him.
 The daughter claims it is said that she was disinherited only after her fa- thers mind became affected. Suffer- ing from tumor of the brain he was not responsible according to her friends when he disposed of the 40 acres in Scottsdale over which the suit has been brought and which has been set for trial on Thursday.
 Gave Property to Another
 MT Ferree transferred the property to his daughter -in-law when he was i'll at St. Luke's home in March, 1917. . He was able to leave the home after "a few weeks and took up his residence with his daughter in law with whom he had lived previous to his illness. He was much improved during the early summer but became worse in August when he died.
 Some time ago Mrs. Rawlings filed suit through her attorneys Kibbey, Bennett and Curtis to have the deed set aside. Mrs. F'erree it is understood will fight the action and will be repre- sented in the court proceedings by Townsend, Stockton and Drake.
 Both the plaintiff and the defendant have secured a number of dispositions which alone will require more than a day in reading into the evidence. In addition to the dispositions there will be a great number of witnesses called to testify and intimate family affairs will be aired in the courtroom.

 Funeral is Impressive
 American flags were flown at half mast on many buildings, as the fune- ral procession passed through the prin- cipal streets to the cemetery, where graves had been dug side by side in ground reserved for military burials. The body of Keller, who was an acting sergeant, was carried on gun car riage, the other caskets in lorries, each covered with the stars and stripes. Two American army officers, two mem- bers of the American Red Cross and two American Y. M. c. A. officials marched behind the lorries.
 The cortege included two bands, a large detachment of fusiliers, 4S of whom acted as pall-bearers, and a reg iment of soldiers, fifty of whom fired a salute over the graves. The Ameri- can consul and women members of the American Red Cross committee par ticipated in the ceremonies with other
