ALIEN ENEMIES ARE
DENIED WRIT. MUST.
!. !. AWAIT DEPORTATION

New, York, Feb. 14.-A writ of
hateAs5 corpus sworn out In an at
Tempt to prevent deportation of So
aliens. brought here from western
citiea was dismissed by Federal Judge
Knox.
The court held that the petition
for the writ failed to show any VIOLA
tion OF the frights Of the deportees-
However, in view OF the contention
of attorneys who claimed to represent
the prisoners, that refusal Of immi-
CATION authorities to give them &C
cess to Ellis Island had prevented
them from obtaining information
necessary to specific allegations,
Judge Knox announced that the dis
missai was without prejudice. II in
spectiorl Of the deportation records
revealed indications to any of the
prisoners, he stated, the writ, as re-
lating to them might be renewed.
This statement was regarded by
attorneys as significant, in view OF
Commissioner of immigration Ca
minetti's announcement that approx
i1nately six thousand persons were
awaiting deportation, several score Of
whom are already on the way to New
York and other ports.

Minneapolis, Feb. 14.--Harmony
descended ON the Minnesota house of
representatives, and the expected
bitter clash over the motor corps bill
was averted by the series of amend
ments agreed to by representatives
of the labor organizations who had
opposed the bill. The amendments,
adopted at a conference lasting all
day, were adopted by the house. the
bill was agreed to and is expected
to pass with little opposition. n 4
The most important amendment
provides the motor corps shall be
.used only Z - for the purpose OF afford
ing aid and relief to communities or
striken by fire, floods. storms or other
pose of transporting the military
forces Of the state when called into
active service" Another amend
ment prohibits the members from
carrying any weapon except side
arms. 49, .. .
I" .s....s y- Changes Satisfy Labor.
: These changes satisfied former OPP
ponents Of the bill that the motor
corps would not be used as state
constabulary. :. Another amendment
prohibits members of the motor corps
from receiving any pay or gifts for
their services from private corpora
tions or individuals.
The size Of the motor corps is re-
stricted to two regiments, each hav-
ing four battalions Of four companies
each.
Sixtv-two Men to Company.
Each company is to consist of SO
men and three officers. making a
strength of 1,040 Tor each regiment

and two men in each company must
have motorcycles or roadsters.
When called into service, the auto
mobile" owners are to be paid on a
mileage basis, at a fixed rate, by the
adjutant general and So day while
in service.
Primary Bill Reported Back.
Amended to include supreme court
judges as party nominees, the Warn
er-Hompe primary election bill came
back to the house with favorable
report from the elections committee.
The bill provides for nomination of
all candidates for states office in con-
ventions, delegates to which are to
be chosen by direct vote at the pri-
mary election, by counties and sena-
torial districts. The bill was amend
ed in committee to reduce the size
of the conventions, making one dele
gate for each 400 votes cast for gov
ernor, instead Of one for each $50
votes The committee also reported
favorably the Corning bill taking the
word "nonpartisan" off the ballot as
a designation for county and legisla-
tive candidates. Instead the label
will read "having no party designa-
tion," so as to avoid confusion with
the Nonpartisan league.

BOOZE LADEN TRIPPERS
NABBED BY AGENTS

Failure on the part Of Lazarus Yuk
Of Bemidji to recognize Indian Agent
Charles Benson, now in station in
Bemidji, resulted in Lazarus becom-
ing separated from sixteen quarts of
perfectly good booze and his lam
gushing in the Beltrami county Jail
to await the federal grand jury at
Fergus Falls next May. Judge
Smons set his bond at 1000. 1t all
happened when Lazarus stepped from
an M. & I. train with the wet goods
in the suit case.
w. J. Johnson, who used to
be Brandt's federal partner, made it
a good one when he bagged two in
one grab, Ace Nikula and Knute
Korby, who were coming up to Be-
midji from the twin cities, limping
under the heavily laden suit cases.
Johnson was also on the same train
and when the conductor yelled Be-
midji" and the tourists alighted,
Johnson promptly escorted them to
Judge Simons and he said something
to the effect that they stay in jail
under 81, 900 each until the Fergus
Falls grand jury meets next May.
Each had twenty pint bottles Of IL
quor in his suit case, and Ace felt
like the duece when arrested.

MCDONALD ASSERTS
BENNETT ERRED IN ...
REFERRING TOREPORT
To the Editor of the Bemidu

To the Editor of the Bemidji
Pioneer:
Mr.. Bennett, at the Elko last
night stated that our supreme court
had upheld a provision found in the
charter of Mankato similar to the
provision in the proposed charter for
Bemidji relating to the mayor. No
thing could be farther from the
truth.
The constitution Of our state,
which controls, says:
1T shall be feature of AL
such charters that there shall
be provided, among other
things, for mayor or chief
magistrate. and a legislative
body of either one or two
houses"
The proposed charter in Sec
tion 6 provides:
"The city commission shall at
the time of organizing, elect one
Of it's members as president who j.,
shall also be mayor. ".'
"He may use the title of may
or in any case in which the exc
cution. of legal instruments Of
writing or other necessity aris-
ing from the general laws of the
state SO requires; But this shall
not be construed as comforting
upon him the administrative or
judicial functions of a mayor
under the general laws of he
state.'
Mr.. Bennett insultingly and re.
peatedly stated that If you have a
lawyer in the city who has the Min
nesota Reports you will find the

port containing the decision relat-
ing to the Mankato charter. It fl
found in the 1T Minnesota Reports
commencing on page 45S.
Cites Mankato Provision.
The provision Of the Mankatc
charter relating to the mayor which
the supreme court had under con
sideration, and which no doubt Mr..
Bennett had heard offs as follows:
"Sec a. Elective officers Of
the city shall be a mayor and
four councilmen." e!
"Sec. SO. The mayor shall be.
the chief magistrate and execu-
tive officer of the city. He shall
see that the laws of the state,
the provisions of this charter,
and the ordinances of the city
are duly observed and enforced
within the city. He shall be
charged with the general over
sight of the several departments
of the municipal government
and shall see that all contracts
made with the city are faith
fully performed.
"Sec Al. The mayor shall be
a member of the council, and
have right to vote upon all
propositions, matters, and ques-
tions coming before it, but shall
have no veto power"

TANKS FOR COMMERCE.
(By United Press. }

London, Jan. 80. tBy Mail. -
The tanks are going after civilian
jobs in the army or reconstruction.
The tank idea, developed In war
from the american farm tractor, Is
not going to be abandoned in peace.
Engineers are at work on designs
for commercial highspeed tanks, or
trucks with, tank treads. and manu-
facture of these machines probably
will keep the war tank factories rum
ming.
The advantages of the caterpiiler
tread, used in tanks, include less
wear and tear on roads, greater MILL
climbing ability, it is claimed.

mayor shall be elected by the people,
just as the constitutional provision
contemplates, and not appointed by
the commission, and gives the mayor
more executive and administrative
powers than even our present charter
does.
Please permit me to reach those
people who heard Mr.. Benefits ad-
dress through the columns of your
paper for the purpose of correcting
in their minds the effect of Mr.. Ben
nett's erroneous statements.

PATTER.

Alabama is noted for the pretty
girls that live there. / met one of
the first girls in the state, that is,
one of the first you run into. Her
name was Auto. I think she was
from Mobile. She sure was pretty,
but there was just one thing about
her l didn't like. That was her feet.
They were just as long behind as
they were in front. You could never
tell VII she was going or COM
ing. She was the most bashful
young lady l ever met. She would
not pass lumber yard where there
was any undressed lumber. She
wouldn't look at band playing if
they had bass drum. She told me
she couldn't stand to see any man
beat his bear-skin She never wore
undresced kids She even had pants
made for the legs of her dining table.
We we,e out one evening and she ex-
posed her ignorance. We went into
a place where they had a soda fouu-
tain. I called for an egg phosphate.
She said she would take hers
scram bied. We went to theatre.
We were sitting in back seat, when
a man came out on the stage and be-
gan to sweep it off. All the boys IN
the house began to holler "Supe."

Louisiana State University and
Agricultural College has solved many
problems for the farmers of this
state and it has not had the proper
support. This Is being recognized
now and the people of the state are
demanding that the Legislature loak
after the states greatest interests by
providing a better training school in
agriculture.
Louisiana State University and Ag-.
ricultural College and the U. s. De-
partment of Agriculture are sending
us the following judges this year for
our Far: Mr.. H. F. Cassell, Mr.. D.
G. Price, and Mr.. H. c. Vetter. They
are unacquainted here, impartial and
competent.
Not only will they make fair
decision, but will gladly explain Why
and how they. arrived at that de-
cision. This is an opportunity for
our farmers to ask for good informa-
tion.

MR.. HULL TALKS ABOUT SWEET
POTATOES.

Mr.. M. Hull, OF L. S. U. and U. ).
Department Of Agriculture, spoke on
the subject of sweet potato storage
at the meeting of the Association Of
Commerce, Monday night. He is in
charge of the sweet potato storage
work, OF the state experimenting the
construction of houses and of curing
CT the yams, and has witnessed the
growth of this great industry from
few houses about four years ago to
about sixty at this time, and cur
ing capacity of from 10000 bushels
to 100000 bushels at present.
The sweet potato is the second
best money crop in Louisiana, with
q value of $96.50 per acre, cane be-
ing the only crop hat surpasses 1t
in value. Last year cotton averaged
$3.50 per acre, and corn $500.
Potatoes are well suited to our soil
with the added fact that sweet po-
tatoes are a good feed crop as well
as good food and money crop.
1t Will not be wise to increase our
acreage much in sweet potatoes, un-
less we had some potato houses that
have proved success all over the
South.
There is one of these houses in St.
Tammany parish. An attempt was
made by the Great Southern Lumber
Company to put some houses in this
section, and one at CoVington, but
for some reason the correct plans
were not used and the house was not
built right. Even then they would
have succeeded had they been operat-
ed rightly, but they were not, con-
sequently were not successful.
The Association of Commerce is
going to remodel the house at C07-
ington and supervise the curing Of
the potatoes this year. The house
will BE- absolutely safe. Farmers
will be invited to bring their potatoes
and store them until next March,
April or May, for twenty cents a
bushel. Potatoes will have to be
graded according to instructions
which the Association will furnish,
and the potatoes brought in in crates
which the Association will furnish.
For further information farmers
should write the undersigned.
A man near Amite handled "a car
loads of sweet potatoes last year
using the storage house and is re-
modelling the brick storage building
in Amite this year, which will more
than double his storage capacity.

Secretary.
