SEVERE FIGHTING IS ON
Official Statement Tells of Esthonian
Army Activity.

Stockholm, Feb. 27.-An official
statement issued by the Esthonian
army headquarters reports severe
fighting near Narva, Pskov, Volmar
and Salisbury, and claims the Esthon-
ians have repulsed the Bolsheviki, in
flicting serious losses in killed and
wounded. The statement describes
the fighting in the direction of Sails
burg as violent and declares that large
forces are engaged.
A telegram received here from
Petrograd says that Bolshevik news
papers, commenting anxiously upon
the reverses sustained in the fighting
against the Esthonians, ascribed the
Bolshevik defeats to fatigue, bad
equipment, inferior supplies and poor
transportation. Arrivals from Libau
say that 5000 well equipped German
volunteer troops have arrived at Libau
by sea and are commanded by Cen
eral Won Der Goltz. They declare the
Bolshevik on the Baltic front are
weakening and that their organization
appears to be- near collapse.

Hold Up Sanitary Code Bill.
Another bill of far-reaching impor-
lance that was held up this morning
was the one by Senator Doerr provid-
ing for the establishing of a state sani-
tary code by the state board of health
and requiring the licensing of all
plumbers in the state.
The clerk was reading the bill with
the senate in committee OF the Whole
when Senator Getty asked permission
to ask the senator from PaWnee
question.
Il would like to know by whom this
bill was DRAWN" Getty asked.
Senator Doerr said the bill was
drawn by the state board of health in
cooperation with the state plumbers
organization and others.
This information was sufficient to
check the process of the bill. Getty

board of health carrying an appropria-

said he supposed this would continue

Senator Schoch said that if the bill
would provide more competent plumb

Senator Snyder also opposed the bill

already army of state employees and
said that he thought it should go tC

A motion to re-refer the Doerr bill

began in senate Wednesday, Democrats
and Republicans had tilt over reso-
luton approving the league presented
by Senator Pittman of Nevada, Demo-
crat, from various organizations. SEN
ator Brandegee of Connecticut, Re
publican, said that if all resolutions
adopted on the subject were placed in
the congressional record, 1t would
bankrupt the government and he
urged that their publication stop. Sem
ator Poindexter of Washington. an
opponent of the league, suggested that
organizations endorsing it had been
misled by misleading statements of
many prominent men.
Referring to Secretary Dan3els's re-
cent statement that an expensive navy
or the league were alternatives, he
added:
