COL. LITTLE
TOOK IN TWO
BIG JUBILEES
Celebration of Premature Peace
Report as Great Event
r. as Real Thing

Col. G. B. Little, who returned yes
terday from journey to New York
city, whittier he went to attend the
Dartmouth alumni council, of which
he is president, had the pleasure OF
witnessing two Vivtory celebrations
in the metropolis. The celebration OF
the premature report which came out
last Thursday was as much OF an
event in every respect as was Gotham s
Jubilee over the actual signing OF the
armistice Monday. Even after de-
ninl of the rumOr was received, the
celebration continued, the crowds being
satisfied that the end Of the war was
at hand, even If it had not been Off
cially proclaimed.
From the Battery as far up as Tooth
street the streets we're crowded with
mobing, cheering, laughing mass of
people, says Col Little. The air was
filled with scraps of paper to which
from the bic buildings in Wall street.
thousands Of yards Of ticker tape were
added. From the hundreds OF craft III
the harbOr came 4 constant blarc OF
whistles and sirens, creating pandc-
monium. Every bell in the city was
kept ringing constantly.
Throughout the day and late into the
night the throng continued 10 slowly
parade the streets. There was nothing
to do for one caught in the current but
to 20 with it. There was no possibility
Of breasting it, and one was fortunate
in escaping from the press when a
uuieter street was reached. Through.
out the long hours Of celebration the
crowd was good naturcd, neighborly
and sociable. - \
EAST GOING REPUBLICAN.
The strong republican victory in the
east was generally expected. reports
Col. Little Vhis was especially true
after President Wilson'S partisan ap-
peal for democratic congress, which
brought into the republican ranks
many democratic votes, In addition to,
cerneiiting the solid strength 81 the re-
publicans. Wherever socialism reared
it's. head it was swatted. This was par,
ticularly true in the east side of New
York city, the stamping ground of
Morris Hilquit and others of his clan,
where the red flag showed remark
able loss in popularity. ~ &
Conditions are too chaotic i'll the
east, on the Idawn Of new world
peace, to permit forecast as, to the
Econ nomic conditions which recdnstruc-
ftion will bring, but Col. Little found
confidence and optimism. and a belief
that sanity and conservatism will pre-
vail in working out the nations prob
lens.

Washington, Nov. 15,--The revis-
ed revenue program of the treasury
department providing flor a bill yield
ing six billion In taxes and not less
than four billion in 1920 outlined by
Secretary McAdoo came before the
senate finance committee today for
consideration. Expenditures of the
government during the present fiscal
year were estimated at eighteen bill
lion, compared with estimates of "a
billions made before any indications
of peace. - i@l&
Reversing his former attitude, Mr.
McAdoo advocated framing OF the
revenue bill to provide for tax pay
ments in four instalments, saying this
would give great additional relief to
taxpayers during the reconstruction
period, as well as give the govern
ment steadier flow Of revenue. ="

ONLY TWO OF
SEVEN LEAGUE
PLANKS. CARRY
Burleigh County Rejects All of
q. More Radical Proposals
( of Townley
FINAL M'CURDY VOTE IN
Official Returns Show States
Attorney Defeated for
Reelection

or the seven league proposals which
may be considered as representative of
the Townley program, Burleigh county
in last weeks election approved but
two constitutional amendments and re
jected five, according to the Official
returns as canvassed Wednesday by
the Burleigh county commission. Coun-
ty Auditor Flaherty completed his Of
1icial tabulation today, ,>
The total number Of male voters in
last weeks election was 1854, or 64
more than the number recording a
choice for the governorship. The
necessary majority of all the votes cast
would be 1898 The only amendments
receiving this number or more was
that on the initiative and referendum,
1907 ayes and go nays, and the hail
insurance proposal, 1876 to $40.
The amendments which fell short Of
this required majority and the vote on
them were as follows
Amending emergency clause: Yes,
! ,231 no, 94S. = E'.
Constitutional amendments Yes,
1885; no, 1,O26. 49,
Single tax amendment: Yes, 1 PA !;
no, 1850. H.y9%, w
Removal of debt limit: Yes, 1,219 !;
no. 1,O2O. ~Ts%.<Z.
Public ownership: Yes, 1890; no,
096.
The three amendments on the initia-
tive and referendum reduce the num-
ber Of signatures required on petitions
and are designed to make the present
'initiative amendment workable. The
effect Of the league amendment would
he to give any small clique of voters
power to suspend any legislation or to
initiate any measure. The hail tax
is not a league proposition, but had
been before, the legislature before the
league was organized, and the approval
OF this proposed amendment cannot be
considered league victory. =.

SAMM|ES AND PO|LUS RETAKE ALL GROUND
 CAPTURED BY ENEMY
Allied Line at Seicheprey Has
 Been Completely Restored Paris Says Americans Re-
 pulsed German Attack.

Paris, April 21.-The French lines north of Seicheprey, where the Ger mans inaugurated a heavy attack against French and Americans yes terday, have been completely rees- tablished, according to the war office announcement tonight.
 German forces which attacked the American positions west of the Ren- CTS forest, northwest of Foul, today came across No Mans Land in three waves. They had been especially trained for this operation. The Amer jeans, although greatly outnumbered fought for every inch of the way, giv- ing ground slowly and pouring dead ly machine gun, rife and automatic fire into the advancing enemy.
 The German barrage began just be- fore sunrise, after heavy lombard ment on the American front and rear positions in the course of the night In an attempt to put the American batteries out of action, the Germans used an unusually large number oi gas shells, but the American artillery replied vigorously, hurling hundreds of shells across the Teuton lines.
 A counter barrage set down by tho Americans caught the advancing Ger mans and killed number of them be fore they had opportunity to reacf the American trenches.
 The Germans reached the shell-torr village of Seicheprey in the forenoon but only remained short time, being driven out again by brilliant coun ter attack made by the American in fantry. The commander of one uni holding an outpost reported at ont stage of the attack that his men were slowly giving ground, but they were fighting every inch of the way"

COMMITTEES OF CON.
 NEWTON ADJOURNED
Proposals of Various Commit tees Will be Put Into Shape by Qualification and PhraseOlOgy Committees for Submission.

Little Rock, April 20.-The com- mittees of the constitutional conven- ton have adjourned and returned to their homes, with the exception of the committee on codifcation and the committee on phraseology.
 The proposals of the various com mittees are being submitted to these two committees who will put them into shape for submission to the con- vention when it reconvenes in July.
 The most radical suggested change was that made by the legislative com mittee, offered by J. T. Sifford, that the House of Representatives be re- duced to not less than 35 nor more than 50 members, and the Senate to not less than IS nor more than 25 members. Until otherwise provided, there shall be one representative elected from each of the present sena- torial districts, and one senator from each of the present senatorial dis tricts. The legislature shall meet every four years and remain in ses- session not more than sixty days The adoption of strong prohibition against the enactment of local legislation will, it is believed, so greatly reduce the volume of business that this will be sufficient for all practical purposes.
 The Oregon plan for the initiative and referendum is adopted almost in full, with few minor changes to meet local conditions.
 The committee on state finance adopted proposal permitting muni- cipalities to call elections for the issu- ance of bonds, provided "the bonded indebtedness of any such county or city shall never exceed, at any time, five per centum of it's total taxable property as ascertained by its last as- sessment for taxation for general purposes" It is further provided that "all indebtedness which may be | hSIe%4IISi Stedtcu " any SouiIy, SiIys town, or municipality in any year in excess of it's revenue fer such year shall be absolutely void"
 The committee on taxation of which J. D. Head Miller county, is chair man, was one of the hardest working bodies, and transacted great deal of business of great value to the state.
 A proposal by R. s. Warnock per hitting the legislature to pass bank guaranty act, was adopted.
 Provision is made that will enable the legislature to assess the intang- ible property of individuals and cor porations.
 Taxes shall be paid only in United States currency and all warrants here after issued shall be numbered con secutively and paid in the order of their issuance.
