British Army Horses
To Be Sold To Arabs

London, Dec. 15.-(Corresponden
OF the Associated Press)-Owing to
lack of ships to bring them to Eng
land, 100000 horses and mules of the
British army in the eastern theaters
OF war are to be sold to the Arabs or
destroyed. That announcement has
been made by Major General Sir w.
II. Birkbeck, Director of remounts.
He has also stated that. of the British
army's total of 100000 horses in Eu-
rope. large number of which were
purchased in the United States-ohly
those that are sound and under 70
years old will be shipped here.
About $4,000 war horses are to be
brought to England. and Belgium is
to have $4,000 for unconstitutional
work. General Birkbeck said: 1--WE
want to distribute them all over the
country by big sales. in cities up to
100 animals, and to smaller towns up
to rs. There is an unaccountable
prejudice against mules in this coun-
try. At present we have in England
about 10000 mules, many of which
we want to sell, but people don't
seem inclined to buy them. The mule
lis an economical animal which does
mot eat 80 much as a.. horse, and FOR.
every horse that goes sick, less than
half a mule is sick"

R0QUETIE and
MURTHA ASEATED
BY COMMITTEE
After Throwing Out All
Doubtful Precincts, Big
Majority is Shown.
(By stan CORRESPONDENT,

Bismarck, NJ D., Jan. 24.-The
elections committee of the house this
morning decided to seat T. F. Murtha
and Fred Roquette as members of the
legislature from Stark county. After
throwing out the votes in all the pre-
cincts where election Irregularities
were charged, Murtha and Roquette
were left with bigger majority than
the original canvass of the votes
showed. The committee then decided
to recommend that the two Stark
county men be allowed to retain their
seats.
Votes in Belfield and Hungary town
ships were thrown out because tho
Judges went to the homes Of sick vot-
ers and allowed them to cast their
ballots; in RAIDER, because the votes
were counted at the home Of judge:
in Lehigh, because a brother Of Ro-
quette acted on. the board, and in
Fertile Valley because the votes were
counted behind locked doors.
Valentine Kuhn and Anthony
Reilly, two Nonpartisan league candi-
dates, contested the election. Evil
dence for them was gathered by paid
workers from league headquarters.

LAWYERS SAY
ROLL CALL IS
UNNECESSARY
Emergency Measures Can be
Passed With Separate
Check, is Belief.
fBy, stan, Corresponde.t.,s y

Bismarck. N. D., Jan. 24-No
separate roll-call on emergency meas
ures is required under the constitu-
tional amendments initiated by the
Nonpartisan league and adopted In
the recent election of majority of
all votes cast, according to prominent
attorneys who have just completed
study of the amendment. The rea-
son for change in emergency pro-
visions in the constitution was quite
apparent after the league got its leg
| isiative program well under way and
it is easily seen now that it was the
most important step in the we'll con-
ceived plan to prevent any referen-
dunn of their proposed industrial
! bills. Every important league meas
ure has had the emergency clause,
! which makes the law operative as
soon as enacted and signed, attached.
| The new emergency clause amend
ment requires a two-thirds vote of
| only the members voting, instead of
| wo-thirds majority of the house vot-
ing. It also requires only that an act
be declared an emergency.
1t requires petitions signed by
thirty thousand voters to bring about
a referendum on emergency measures
DuL only ScNcI LlAouodlu oil CAoAiSU
on laws that do not carry an emerg-
ency clause On emergency meas
ures, petitions must be filed not later
than 90 days after adjournment of
the legislature, and the governor may
order special election to be- held
not earlier than 100 days after the
legislature adjourns and not more
than 130 days. In the meantime such
emergency act is in operation, and 1t
requires majority of the votes cast
in the special election to veto it.
Under the old emergency clause it
required a two-thirds vote of mem
bers elect Of each house in separate
roll call to make the clause opera
tive. .
But many attorneys believed that
this is done away with in the new
amendment, which says: mo act OF
the legislature assembly shall take
effect until July after the close Of
the session. unless the legislature by
a vote of two-thirds of the members
present and voting in each house
shall declare it an emergency meas
ure which declaration shall be set
forth in the act, provided, however.
that no act granting a franchise or
special privilege, or not creating any
vested right or interest other than in
the state, shall be declared an emerg-
! ency measure. An emergency meas
ure shall take effect and be in force
from and after its passage and ap-
proval by the governor
Leaders Of the league, Of course,
have known the effect Of the amend
ment to the constitution. but this
knowledge has with withheld from
! the members, for those interviewed
| declared themselves positive that a
separate roll-call was needed. With
the emergency clause attached to all
| their big bills, the league leaders
have made every attempt to hurry
them through, this explains their ac-
ton in unseating Peter Webber and
attempting to unseat Fred RoQuette
| and T. F. Murtha. They wanted to
be sure Of q two-thirds voting ma
| jority on every measure, and with the
roll-call eliminated. It looks like easy
i work for them.
