CATTLE STARVING
in The NORTHWEST
WILL BE SHIPPED FROM THE
DROUTH-STRICkEN DISTRICT.
CHILDREN NEVER SAW RAIN.

ST. PAUL, Minn.-In an effort to
save million head of western cattle
and sheep recommendations will be
made to the United States railroad
administration for so per cent. re-
duction in freight rates for ship
ments from Montana and drought
areas into Minnesota, Wisconsin and
other states where pasturage and
feed are available. Officials of the bu-
reau of animal industry from Wash
ington, western stockmen and Mn
nesota and Wisconsin agricultural Of
ficials at a conference today decided
the reduced freight rate was the most
urgent problem in moving such large
numbers Of live stock.
Nearly a million acres have been
rendered the Montana stockmen
through the Minnesota state depart
ment of agriculture, 100000 of
which will be provided without eX-
pense.
4-Year-Olds Have Never Seen Rain.
How long and serious the drouth is
will be known wnen it is stated that
lots of children have never seen it
rain.
A band Of 1900 wethers were
started from Washington last winter
in search of feed. They were driven
through most of that state and finally
reached Oregon. No feed was found
in either state and the herders push
ed on to Montana, meeting with the
same conditions.
When the herd arrived at Miles
City they were scarcely able to move,
and many of them were dying. The
owners were so discouraged that they
sold the wethers for Sc hundred
weight, which is. far below the cost
they would have brought if shipped
directly to some market center.

NEGROES IN BRITAIN
Get WIVES and JOBS
DEMOBLIZED SOLDIERS ARE
BITTER AGAINST BLACKS.
RIOTING RESULTS.

LONDON.-Race riots in the
northern part of England and Wales
have created stir throughout the
country, principally because of the
novelty of such occurrences in these
islands.
Normally there are few negroes or
aliens with colored skins to be seen
in Great Britain, but the eXigencies
of war caused the importation of a
large number of them to work on
seaport docks and to recruit the
ranks of manual laborers depleted by
the call for fighting men. They were
brought from various parts of the
world, South Africa and the West
Indies supplying the bulk of them.
Many Arabs also were imported.
Blacks Are Taking Jobs.
Repatriation Of these colored men
has been slow, with the consequence
that many demobilized British sol
diers have had what to them seemed
the bitter experience of seeing
strangers engaged at profitable en-
ployment while they, themselves,
looked in vain for work.
Resentment over this state of at
fairs quickly developed into hatred
when the soldiers observed that the
strangers were trying to cultivate the
acquaintance of white girls. A num-
Der of negroes took white wives.
A medical officer in the troubled
district describes the situation as
very serious both from a health and
economic point of view, and asserts
that 100000 demobilized men ara
still without employment while ne
groes are employed. as this not a
gross injustice?" he asks. ut Is
nothing less than Ubiquitous that the
men who have fought for their coun-
try should find the jobs they need oc-
cupied by negroes"

BAKER is SCORED
in FOOD HEARING
OUARTERMASTER SHIFTS EN-
TIRE RESPONSIBILITY FOR
HOLDING SURPLUS FOOD.

WASHINGTON, d. C.-In testi-
mony before house committee in
vestigating war department expendi-
lures vigorous defense of the quar-
termaster corps against the charge
that it was responsible for the fail
ure to dispose of surplus canned
goods of the army to the domestic
trade, was made today by Quarter
master General Harry L. Rogers.
Soon after his return from France
last February, General Rogers said,
he was preparing to put this surplus,
then over 1O0,OO0,00O and now over
200, 100000 cans, on the market. He
was confronted by pledge that they
should not be sold to the domestic
trade until after this years canning
season. The pledge, he learned, was
given by his predecessor, General R.
E. Wood, and the policy had the APP
prevail of the secretary of war.
81 then countermanded my own
orders already given" the witness
stated, "and gave instructions that
other means, conforming to the best
interests of the government be
found to dispose of the surplus"
Frank Gerber Testifies.
Later in the day Frank Gerber,
president Of the National Gamers
Association, testified that it was the
policy of the administration not to
so sell army SURPRISES SO as to af-
feet the market. He quoted public
statements by Secretary Baker, Sec
retary McAdoo and Bernard Baruch,
chairman Of the war industries board,
10 that effect.

BOOZE In THE Home
is HOLY TO HOUSE
MEMBERS CLAMOR TO PROTECT
PETERING SUPPLY. BILL PASS
ED TO ENFORCE DRYNESS.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-The pro-
hibition enforcement act was passed
by the house this afternoon, in its
final form by a vote of 287 to 101.
Just previous to its final passage the
house refused by vote of 255 to
1876 to permit the brewing of Pts
per cent. beer, retaining in the meas
ure the limit of one-half of one per
cent. as the greatest alcoholic con-
tent of any beverage within the law.
A mans right to store liquor in his
home stood against attacks during
the adoption by the house Of the
prohibition enforcement bill, section
by section, drastic provisions and all.
On the final count only three votes
were recorded in favor of an amend
ment to make home possession of in
toxicants unlawful One of these was
Mr.. Upshaw, of Georgia.
With the passage of the bill by
the house the fight on prohibition
shifts to the senate. In that body
and later in conference over expect
ed disagreement on provisions of the
bill the ''wets" will continue their
opposition to drastic features of the
enforcement law proposed.
One Feeble Hand Lifted.
Before the house put the bill on
its passage, one final but feeble hand
was reached forth to strike it down
and put in its place a briefer and
more libertl measure. This took the
form of three-paragraph bill by
Representative Igoe. which was over
whelmingly defeated.

THIRD TERM TALK
IS CROWNED UPON
DEMOCRATS nee DE WILL
SONS NOMINATION, IF HE
WANTS TO RUN AGAIN.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-The ques-
ton of whether President Wilson
will accept the nomination for third
term is now often heard in Washing
ton. The situation as it stands seems
to be as follows:
The president can have the nomi-
nation. His nomination by his party
is conceded. Many politicians are
anxious to have him run, arguing as
politicians usually do. The circum-
stances are exceptional, they say.
If the senate fails to ratify the
treaty it will make the league of ma
tions the issue in 1920, and for Will
son to refuse to lead such a fight
would be more culpable than break
ing the third term tradition, they
claim.
Friends Against 1t.
On the other hand, if the treaty
is ratified Wilson, as president, and
only he, would put it into successful
operation.
While the democratic politicians
thus reason it out the same class of
republicans will tell you that he
would be the easiest man to beat
in view of the third term handicap.
Among those of President Wilson's
friends who have no axe to grind the
sentiment seems pretty solidly
against his permitting himself to be
drawn into third term fight. He will
have enough strenuous times and it
is doubtful if his physical strength
would be equal to third campaign.
His candidacy would subject him
to wide misunderstanding He will be
in position to retire at the end of
this term, and take up work that he
has in mind for a long time. Few
men have the intellectual resources
as he and from the serenity of his
study he will be able to bring to
bear great influence.
His admirers think that as sage
and "elder statesman" he will per-
haps be more potent than the actual
occupant of the white house.
Will Not Aid McAdoo.
Mr.. Wilson is one man who will
say no if he thinks no.
The president will be master of
himself under all circumstances and
will pot be drawn into any i'll starred
ventures to further the political for
tunes of others.
1t can be pretty safely stated that
he now has not the remotest inten-
ton of running for third term.
The probability also may be stated
that he will keep hands off in the
choice of a democratic nominee and
will do nothing to aid Mr.. McAdoo.
His sense of propriety would prevent
his using any influence in behalf of
his son-in-laW.
The field seems to be open in both
parties, and it is likely that neither
of the men who will represent the
two parties has yet emerged.

movement looking to the abolition
of the dual citizenship of Hawaiian
born Japanese has been launched
at an Hawaii civic convention, on
the island of Maui. Resolutions
were adopted asserting that there
are in Hawaii a large number of
children who, under the laws of the
United States are American citizens
and, under the laws Of the empire
of Japan. are potentially citizens Of
Japan. The convention declared,
there is room in this territory for
men and women who are either citi-
zens Of Japan or the United States.
but no place for those who are citi-
zens of both countries"
The convention recommended to
the commission of the Hawaiian gov
eminent which is going to Wash

with the proper authorities in Wash
ington the problem of dual citizen
ship in Hawaii, Ito the end that
through treaty or otherwise ar
rangements be made whereby Ameri-

ing at a certain age, declare their
allegiance either to the United
States or Japan, and that such dec
larations be honored by the govern

IRELAND STILL WET

DUBLIN, Nov. ia case just

the survival in Ireland of d belief
in the fairies. 1t was a claim for
compensation for cutting trees and
bushes around a fort at Shanbally.
The claimant said he especially
valued these bushes as there was
dancing lights there every night.
1t was alleged that the defendant
had taken away the bushes to evict
the fairies. The Judge pointed out
that if there were any fairies they
would visit their anger on the man
who dared to cut the bushes and
not on the n He did not &C

AWFUL SLAUGHTER

SANDS TO DEATH

KEW, Nov. 14.-Bodies of vic
Tins executed by the bolsheviki dur
ing their occupancy of this city are
constantly being found and the first
estimate of 1000 is evidently much
below the real total.
: Three Irish girls, Eva, May and
Eilesen Healy, who lived in Kiev
during the last six months of boil
shevist rule, gave the correspondent
an account of bolshevik operations.
THE ~autocracy of the Romanoffs
with all its evils" they said, was
paradise compared to the bolshevik
hades we have been living through.
The last few months, when the
majority of the members of the Kiev
committee of public safety were
always under the influence of drink
or drugs, transacted all conceivable
awfulness. After every meeting.
huge heaps of empty spirit and wine
bottles and scores of morphine and
cocaine bottles were found.
1.-THE members and the chief of
the committee sat before a cage with
wooden bars reaching to the cell
ing. The prisoners were marched
through the cage to be reviled and
sentenced to death. Afterward they
were stripped naked and carted off
to- the slaughter house.
Another committee conducted it's
proceedings in the open air in a
beautiful garden. The judges
sprawled over a table and pro-
hounced death sentences wholesale.

This was done to extract informa-

priest was crucified."
Other British residents said the
Healy girls often, in the name of
their British nationality. openly de-
fled the bolshevik authorities and
successfully concealed a number of
officers and other intended victims.

instant later a shot was fired. The
men who claim to have seen Fin
nerty and his assailant were on the
west side of Main street and de-

he was of short stature and wore a
cap.
The bullet, which was of small
caliber, entered the left side of Fin
nerty's body and pierced the heart.
Men who rushed to the scene after
hearing the shot said that death
probably was instantaneous.
The dead man is survived by his
widow and several children. Three
