BE MISSED IN
STATE COUNCIL
Representative James A. Harris
a Strong Figure and Highly
Respected Man
FOUGHT FOR EDUCATION

An Interesting personality will DC
missed around the legislative halls IN
Bismarck and in the public councils
in Mercer county in the passing or
former Representative James A. Har-
ris. of Stanton, who died in Mandan
following stroke of apoplexy'
Uncle Jim," as he was affection
ately known. was admired and re-
spccted by even many bitter politl-
cal opponents.
Born in Port Huron, Michigan, May
16,1S60, he was educated in the COM
mon schools and lived at Owatonna,
Minnesota, before coming to North
Dakota. April 26, 1905 Mr.. Harris
engaged in farming most of his life
and held several minor offices in the
township and district before he was
elected a representative from the
forty-eighth legislative district.
Active in Affairs
During his residence in Mercer
county Mr.. Harris was active in all
civic affairs. He was very promin-
ent in farmers movements, and was
an important figure in a cOOopera-
tive buying and selling agency. lie
was elected to the legislature four
years and two years ago with Nom
partisan league endorsement. Mr..
Harris left the league during his
terms 1t is said that the school bill
Which provoked such hard fight,
was the cause of his breaking, toge-
ther with the opposition to what he
considered unsOund radical measures.
Mr.. Harris was deeply interest ed
in school advancement, He intro
duced many important bills regard~
ing education while in the legisla-
ture, and was known as an authority
on schools and a champion Of educa-
ton. He was intensely patriotic, and
served on the draft board in his
county during the war. He was d
delegate to many conventions, farmer
and political and other kinds of con-
entons. Mr. Harris made friends
at all the conventionns and he kept
the badges to remember the incidents.
Badges he kept covered a good side
board, on which they were pinned.
Mr. Harris was unmarried. lie
owned two farms near Stanton. and
was a good farmer and business man.
That Free Love Bill
During the legislature. when he be-
came disgustcd with talk of free
love- he introduced what became
known rs the Harris free love- bill.
The bill was introduced purely as Il
joke. but The opposition used it pol
itically against Mr.. Harris.
Mr.. Harris was of charitable dis
position and many persons are deeply
appreciative of charitable acts rem
dered by him. says Thomas Hall,
secretary of state, although, he add
ed: "Mr. Harris didn't wear his
charity on the collar of his coat
sleeve and not many people knew of
his acts

Fiume, Italy, Dec. 29-Ga-
brielle d'Annunzio, early today
surrendered all his powers to
the Fiume communal council.
General Caviglia, commander
of the regular Italian forces
will arrange the conditions OF
peace with the Fiume council.
Seizure of the port of Fiume in
September 1919 by Gabrielle d'Annun-
zio, Italian poet-warrior, at the head
of 5000 volunteer grenadiers and ar
dit, was the dramatic climax to
controversy reaching back to the
Treaty of London, concluded in the
Spring of 1915 between Italy and the
Allied powers, under which Italy en-
tered the war against the Central
Powers
Demanded Fiumc
The treaty assigned tina part OF
TyrOl south Of the, Brenner Pass, as
we'll as Trieste, Gorilla, 1stria and
section of the Dalmatian litteoral to
Italy, but gave Fiume, the seaport OF
Hungary, to Croatia.
When the war ended, Italian ma
tionalists, including D'Annunzlo, de-
manded that Fiume, with its prepon
derant Italian population should be
given to Italy, an act that would

Treaty Of London. The Italians,

President Wilson and pointed to the
fact that the population Of Fiume, up
on the dissolution of the Austro-Hun-
garian Empire, had proclaimed
through their National Council, the
union of Fiume with Italy.
Croatia, now part of yJugo-Slavia,
opposed the claim on the ground that
Sussak, an important suburb Of
Fiume and part of the city itself, was
overwhelmingly Jugo-Slav. In ad-
1T on the CrOatlans charged that
whereas Italy already had excess Of
valuable ports, their country and the
adjoining lands needed Fiume as
their only outlet to the sea. This
position won the support Of President
Wilson who was subsequently de-
nounced by DAnnunzio and his SYM
pathizcrs as "the only obstacle to the
cIIl at on Of Italy's aspirat ons. Pres
ident Wilson's view, however, was
shared by the British and French.
Backed by People
Backed by Italian opinion, the ltal-
ian delegation to the Paris Peace
, Conference, headed by Premier Or
lando and Foreign Minister Sonnino
refused to yield to ltaly's claims. In
April 1913. the crisis can" o head
when President Wilson threatened to
withdraw from the conference. He
issued public statement sustaining
the pact of London insofar as it re-
lated to Fiume. Receipts of the doc
ument in Italy precipitated numerous
Wilson outbreaks in which DAN
nunziO took a leading part. Mean
while, Orlando and Sonnino quit the
Paris conference and returned to
Rome where they were received with
wild acclaim by the people. The
Italian Chamber of Deputies adopted
a vote Of confidence in the Orlando
ministry. Later, however, the two
ministers resigned.
For months Fume has been apart
from the world.
