RAIL CONTROL
SHOWS BIG LOSS
NOVEMBER DEFICIT WAS SCI.
100000 THE YEARS LOW
RECORD.

Washington, Jan. 5.-The govern
ment deficit from railroad operation
during November will be approxi--
mately $64, 200, low record for
the year, according to figures made
public tonight by the bureau of rail-
way economics. Net operating in
come for the month was estimated to
have fallen below $20,000,0OO, which
the bureau of economies declared to
be the lowest in 80 years when COM
puted on basis of percentage of in
yestment.
Gross revenues for the month were
estimated at close to $436,O0O,OOO.
This figure is only slightly below the
high mark of year ago, but the
heavy expenses, due in part to the
coal strike, which also reduced the
revenues, left as net little of the op-
Grating revenues.
The governments net loss, the bu-
reau estimated, on the basis of in
terstate commerce commission fig
the % months of railroad operation
The bureau placed the loss for the
IL months of 1919 at more than
1891 100000.
December returns on rail opera
tion was forecast as bringing another
decline, in statement issued few
days ago by Director General Hines,
who pointed to the inevitable loss in
revenues incident to the coal strike.
The November earnings, as COM
puted by the bureau with compara-
tive figures for the corresponding
month in 1918, follow:
Revenues, 1919, $436, 100000;
1918, $44O,40O,OO0. Expenses and
taxes, 1919, 100000; 1918,
1888, 900, 200. Net income, 1919,
$19.000,000; 1918, $56,500, 900.
While the November revenues were
said by the bureau to show an in
crease of $149,200,0OO, as compared
with the average for the month in the
three-year test period before the war,
expenses and taxes have also increas-
ed more than $213, 100000. The in
crease in operating revenues was
traceable largely to the heavy passen-
ger traffic, which was represented to
have been about 10 per cent higher
than the November average of the
test period. Freight traffic, however,
was estimated to have dropped sew
eral per cent.

AS Rope for Suicide

fathers farm by hanging himself
with sn improvised rope made with
a twisted lace curtain.
One end he fastened to rafter and
the other about his neck and then

SUPREME COURT
DEF|E S |NTOx|CANTs
DECISION OF WHAT CONSTI-
TUTE' INTOXICATING
BEVERAGES.

Washington, Jan. 5.-Upholding
the constitutionality of the most vital
section of the Volstead prohibition
enforcement law, the supreme court
today declared that beer containing
2.75 per cent alcohol and other near
beers cannot be sold under the war
time prohibition act The important
feature of the action is that the court
upheld the action of congress in de
claring intoxicating and preventing
the sale of all beverages containing
one-half of i per cent or more of al
cohol by volume. with the exception
of home made cider and wine. The
decree of the court may be taken as
definition of intoxicating liquor
that will stand under constitutional
prohibition, also because of the def
mite statement that congress, in pro-
viding for the enforcement of prohi-
bition, has the right to prescribe Just
what makes beverages Intoxicating.
Washington, Jan. 5.-New Jersey,
through its attorney general, today
declared that it will not consent to
the bringing of an original suit i'm the
supreme court by the New Jersey
liquor dealers to knock out the CON
stitutional and Volstead enforcement
laws. The state refused to consent
TO the suit and contended il should
not be entertained.

FAIR WILL BE
A REAL HUMMER Wei
No Truth to Yarn that None
Will Be Held This Year
Says Secretary.

Some people have a mighty peculiar
notion Of April fool jokes, according
to e. A. Montgomery, secretary Of the
Grand Forks Fair association.
MI. Montgomery was surprised and
interested this morning to learn that
there was a report afioat in the city
that there would be no fair held here
during the coming summer.
AS a result of these reports Mr..
Montgomery issued a definite state
ment this, morning that the Grand
Forks fair will be held July 20ato. "a
as originally planned, and that it will
be a humdinger. &C !
We have already engaged special
attractions costing $4,000 for the fair
this year" Mr.. Montgomery said to-
day. Among these will be the big
fireworks spectacle, The Battle Of the
North Sea- which will be shown
nightly in front OF the grand stand.
are also lining up a number of
other top notch attractions.
we expect that the exhibits this
will show the largest variety, and
highest class Of any ever shown at a
Grand Forks fair. I don't know just
what disciple of tho late lanented
Baron Munchausen started the yarn
that there Won't be any fair held here
this year, but I certainly state that
there isn't any truth in it,"
