DELAY ACTION
ON FOREIGN MATTERS
CONGRESS HOLDS UP TWO RESO-
TIONS BECAUSE OF WILSON'S
INABILITY TO ACT

Washington, ID. c.. Oct. 15.-On
the ground that the president is not
in physical condition to attend to
official duties, the Senate foreign
relat tions committee has delayed ac-
ton indefinitely on two resolutions
calling for information as to interna-
tional matters.
When the committee took up the
Poindexter resolution calling on the
president for information concerning
Chino-Japanese relations are report
ed confidentially by American Min
lister Reinsch, Senator John Sharpe
Williams, of Mississippi, raised OBJ
lection, declaring that Wilson is In
no physical condition to attend to the
request and that it ought not to be
thrust upon him at this time. The
committee accepted Williams view
| by unanimous consent.
For the same reason, action or
the King resolution asking thai
Thrace be given to Greese and that
Constantinople be made free city
under the league of nations was post
poned indefinitely.
The Lodge bill directing the pres.
ident to call an international confer
ence to consider questions relating to
International communication was
also taken up but not acted upon for
the same reason.

WILSON MAY ASK
Longer SESSION
PRESIDENT Is NOT SATISFIED
WITH UNFINISHED
LEGISLATION

Washington, d. c., Oct. 15.-Pres-
ident Wilson may ask congress not
to adjourn without first acting on
legislation he has recommended in
various messages, it was learned at
the white house.
While there is no definite proposal
of adjournment before congress,
there is talk of the house recessing.
If congress should adjourn 1t would
automatically return to work early
in December, when the regular ses-
sion opens.
The president, it is said, believes
action he requested has not received
proper attention. He recommended,
among other things, cold storage reg
ulation to bring down food prices and
has asked an appropriation for the
campaign against profiteers.
If measures advocated by the pres
ident are passed by congress he will
give them prompt attention at the
white house, it was stated. He will
show them he is perfectly able tC
act" it was said.

La Crosse, Wis, Oct. 15.-I be-

THE civil service system, under
which the railroads would be oper-

MUST AMERICANIzE
Foreign WORKMEN
WOULD DEPORT THOSE WHO DO
NOT LEARN ENGLISH IN
FIVE YEARS

Washington, d. c., Oct. 15.-De-
portation of immigrants after five
years residence in the United States
unless they learn to speak and read
English will be considered by the
senate labor committee following its
investigation of the steel strike,
Chairman Kenyon announced on his
return from Pittsburgh.
Senators on the investigating COM
mittee declared Americanization of
foreign born persons must be under
taken at once il grave industrial
trouble is to be averted.
ITO neglect this duty means very
troublesome times and very serious
industrial troubles, as well as rapid
growth of socialism," Senator Walsh
declared
He proposed to the labor commit
tee that bill be drafted providing
for deportation of foreigners who
have not learned English at the end
of five years. Compulsory educa-
tion and shorter working day mus,
accompany this, Walsh declared.
Walsh referred to testimony of one
witness at Pittsburgh, who declared
that there are only 800 Americans in
one steel town of $4,000.
Shorter working hours are essen.
tial if immigrants are to be taught
English, Walsh said, citing testimony
of many workmen who said they
worked from 10 to IA hours a day.
The foreigner must have some of
time each day for instruction." he
said.
Chairman Kenyon said the com
mittee may later go to Youngstown
and possibly Gary, Ind, il time car
be found. although ali members sait
they believed they had ample evi
dence for the committees use. Hope
of congress settling the steel strike
has been abandoned by the commit
tee, which is now turning its atten
tion to eliminating the conditions
which make for labor unrest.

stealing an automobile at Aberdeen
in November, 1918, the car being
owned by Martin p. Opsdahl, of
Westport, returned a verdict OF
guilty.

Lahman, were jointly accused of the
crime. Fred Lahman was on the
stand in his own defense for more
than half day and gave a detailed
statement of his actions on the day
the theft was committed, statement
that showed it to have been impos-
sible for him to have been involved
in the theft. A large number of wit
nesses for the defense corroborated
his evidence. Then, in the rebuttal
for the state, John Lahman, his
cousin, who was to have been tried
separately for the same offense, made
confession. stating that he and
Fred had been discussing the theft OF
car for some time, and in passing
theOpstdahl automobile on the day
of the crime. Fred suggested that
that would be good car to take
John agreed, according to his confes-
sion, and then Fred drove the stolen
car home while John drove home
Fred's car in which they had driven
to Aberdeen.
The Lahman family are promi-
| nent farmers near Hecla, but have
been involved in trouble on several
occasions since the United States en-.
tered the war.
