The famous characters who won

have become conspicuous by their alb
absence from this city's famous thor

And Broadway misses the men to

worried little about prices so long as
they could drive dull care by cock

SENATOR MAKES STATEMENT.
Senator F. w. Noes told a repre-
sentative group of Morton county
farmers, gathered from every town
ship and practically every precinct in
the county, at Mandan Of his confer
ence with Townley on the one-man
tax commission bill.
Il told him I couldn't stand for this
BILL" said Senator Mees. Il told him
could not support it and then come
home and face you people, my con-
stituents with clear conscience, and
his advice to me was:
Lie to them, damn title to them
like a damned horsethief'
You heard him say that, Naeel,"
said the speaker, turning to Simon j.

control. who was present. And you
heard him, Harmon" addressing H. II.

leaders of Morton county. Both men
NO ADVICE ACCEPTED.
I'VE have been asked why we didn't
bring our objections to these bills, the
printing bill, the board of administra-
ton bill, the one-man tax commission
bill, the immigration bill and the ju-
dicial redistricting bill, before the
league caucus. We had no chance to
present our views before the league
caucus. State officials like Mr.. Ko-
sticky, here, attempted to do so, and
he was told to go back to his office at
the capitol and mind his own affairs;
he was told that what the league lead
ers planned to do with taxation and
other matter affecting his office was
none of his damned business
Both Senator Mees and State Audi
tor Kositzky went on record against
the five bills named. Senator Mees
riddled the Courier News accounts of
the legislative assembly and of recent
developments. He read statement after
statement which he branded as de-
liberate falsehoods. At the close of

every league farmer present but one
signed petitions for the referendum of
the five acts.

duce Prices of Necessities.

for the sale OF meats, and produce.
His prices have been called to the
attention of Senator Sherman for
comparison with some Of the ex-
cessively high prices charged in
other establishments.
Senator Sherman devoted much
of his time yesterday to giving con-
sideration to different phases of the
foodstuf situation. as there was no
session of the Senate.
The recent wide fluctuations in
food prices in the District. as given
by The Washington Herald have
caused a widespread discussion of
the important question. and the dis
covery has been made that neigh
borhood stores can profteer at will
and without any restraining power.
II is suggested that housewives and
others note cases of excessive prices
and be ready to report them to
Senator Sherman's committee.
One result of The Herald's quota
ton Of high and low prices was a
sort of football rush of buyers TO
Georgetown stores and markets
whose proprietors escape the de-
mands of the merciless middlemen
and are enabled to sell edibles at
prices much lower than those of
other sections.

policeman demanded to know what
was inside. The little fellow said he
was willing to open 1t up" He ex-
planned that he was a visitor and
carried his belongings in the satchel,
as he had not registered at any hotel
and would only remain in Washington
a few hours.
The policeman having in mind the
return of President Wilson and at
tempts Of anarchists to blow big holes
in the Capitolian walls. led the visitor
to the central east portico Of the
Capitol and required him to deposit
the grip at the feet of the marble
effigy of Christopher Columbus, hold
ing the globe aloft. Then the stranger
was permitted to proceed to the sew
eral show places about the great

FEDERAL CLERKS
HURT BY Rider

The Nolan minimum wage bill.
providing So a day for Federal and
District employees. received a seri-
Gus setback yesterday afternoon
when brought up for passage in the
House.
Representative Good. of Iowa, to
the surprise of many friends of
the bill. offered an amendment
which. il passed by the House, will
materially offset the advantages
which the bill carries for low
salaried employees. The amendment
was adopted in Committee of the
Whole by q vote of "A to As.
The Good amendment provides that
wherever the Nolan minimum wage
of 50 per day. or sl.oso per year. ap-
plies. the s24o temporary increase
granted by the last Congress as an
addition to all salaries Of $500 or
less shall be considered a part of
the base pay.
The effect Of this is to deny to the
employees receiving between $500 and
$1,000 at least part of the $24o
increase. That is to say. the $500
employe. who since July has been
receiving the $40 increase. or SI,14o
per year, and who should under the
Nolan bill, as reported by the House
Labor Committee. have his base pay
raised to $1,000. with the Sss4o in
crease still coming to him. will con-
tinue to receive only S1,14o, instead
Of the S1.32o he should otherwise ex-
pect The $1,000 employe, who with
the s24o increase now has q salary

A determined fight to repeal war

by Administration Democrats and

This move is being engineered by
Representative Kitchen. Democratic
leader in the last Congress. He has
received many assurances OF sup
port. but is doubtful whether the
repeal amendment can get by a point
of order-that it is not germane to
the bill-which is certain to be made.
The Rules Committee may be
asked to report out a special rule
making the amendment in order. il
this action should become necessary.
Representative Campbell, chairman
of the committee, said yesterday that
he would not oppose the rule. but
the staunch dry" members may be
able to prevent favorable action.
Two Chances for Vote.
In any event. the repeal motion will
have two chances of reaching a vote.
The member of the House presiding

rule on the point of order when 1t is
moved to strike out Title 1 of the en-
forcement bill. dealing with wartime
prohibition, and insert in lieu thereof
