TRAN-.A-DAY
REQUIREMENT
IN N. DAKOTA
Tri Weekly Service Petition
on Branch Lines Is Denied
BY Railroad Body

The minimum train service which
a railroad may give in North Dakota
is the operation of one mixed pass
enger and freight train each way
every business day of the year under
the North Dakota law, the state rail-
road commission decided today in
denying the application of the 500
line for establishment Of tri-weckly
service on the Fordville-Drake
branch.
The question Of revenue or SER
vice did not enter into the railroad
commissions consideration, the opin-
ion said. Chairman Mlholland, writ
ing the opinion, quoted the state law
which, he said, fixed the minimum
service. Under a decision Of the In
terstate Commerce Commission, rA-
ceivcd by the state commission yes
terday, the state commission has jur-
isdiction over train service within
the state, he said.
The Fordville- branch gave
tri-weekly service until the fall OF
1922 when daily service was put on
The railroad wished to revert to the
tri-weekly service, stating that thi:
plan would save S3,745.80 but still
leave deficit in the operation o1
the line.

HERRIN HELD /.
IN IRON HAND
OF MILITARY
Illinois Town Likened to
Town Behind the Lines
During Wartime
MACHINE GUNS Barred
Military Under Command of
General Foreman Takes
Over Police Duties
GUNS Barred

Herrin, Feb. 12.-(By the A. P.)-
williamson county, for the first time
in it's fervid history, today felt the
iron hand of military discipline and
it does not require much imagination
to liken it to bit of country back
of the lines in war time France.
In the three principal towns of
the county - Herrin, Marion and
Johnson City-the streets are flanked
with mounted machine guns and
howitzers, soldiers with rifles and
fixed bayonets are patrolling the
streets and motor trucks loaded with
soldiers are driving all over the
county posting placards telling Of
the military rule.
Red Cross stations have been es-
tablished and the army bugler's re-
veille in the morning instead of the
factory and mine whistles seems to
be the signal of the awakening of
the people for another day. While at
night after taps has been sounded
the noise Of the city ceases and the
people instinctively turn toward
their homes.
The khaki Of the soldiers pre-
dominates everywhere. Last night
the march of tramping soldiers and
the sharp thud as they came to b
halt and their rife butts hit the
ground were the only noises that
broke the peaceful quiet.
Foreman IN Command.
Major-General Milton Foreman
comm manding- general Of the 33rd di-
vision and in charge of the troops
here has established his headquar-
ters at the Lymar hotel at Herrin.
The arrival of the troops saw the
departure Of the de facto government
of the city of Herrin. The several
hundred special policemen who had
been patrolling the streets gradually
disappeared and at 6 o'clock last
| night their leader, S. Glenn Young
| left Herrin for Marion.
| A statement that amounted to an
order issued by General Foreman to
the citizens of Williamson county de-
clared that the appointment of all
special policemen and deputies was
revoked and annulled and that from
now on as long as the troops remain
only those legally elected or appoint
ed will be permitted to enforce the
law in the county.
| Resume InGuest.
| Among the citzenry only dul!
authorized peace officers will be per
mitted to carry firearms and Gen
eral Foreman said every word in the
statement would be enforced to thu
letter.
The coroner's inquest will be re
srmed at the city hall this after
noon into the constable of Caesa
eagle, who was killed last Frida.

ties and the health commissioner o

The reorganization plan includes

The changes in the routing are
minor, except that an almost straight

Pittsburgh, Pa, Feb. 12.-Fire
alarms and riot calls were sent out
from the western penitentiary this
morning when fire started in the
prison laundry Warden J. M. Egan
said there was no disorder and that
the blaze of undetermined origin
caused slight damage. County detect
ives and the city police were called
to guard against a renewal OF yes
fighting when two guards
were killed, the warden said. The
warden and members of the prison
board were investigating yesterday S
outbreak when the fire gong sound
ed. Prisoners in the yard and work
shops were rounded up and the prison
fire fighting units extinguished the
blaze. When the county and city Of
ficials reached the prison they were
informed the fire was out and there
was no trouble.
Three prisoners-Salvator Batlia
murderer, serving 20 years; Mike
Norton, robber, serving Id years, and
Paul Orlikoaki, bank robber, were be

Efforts We're being made, Warder
Egan said, to single out from more
than 1000 convicts the score wht

HACKERS ARE FIRM

Washington, Feb. l2.-Housc lead
ers were busy lining up forces today
for the opening of the floor contest
on the revenue bill on Thursday.
Though Republican chicftains
have declared after poll of deleca-
tions that it appeared impossible
that the surtax rates of the bill
the same as recommended by Secre-
tary Mellon-can stand proponents
Of the treasury measure are prepar-
ing to fight it out.
Announcement by Rep. LongwoIth
Republican floor leader, that higher
maximum surtax rate than the 25
percent in the bill undoubtedly will
have to be adopted was followed
yesterday by publication Of letter
of Secretary Slemp to Representa-
tive Davey, Democrat. Ohio, in which
it was said that President Coolidge's
decisions on the tax bill chad indi.
Gated he is disposed to liberal at
titude"
The letter was sent January q
in reply to question by the repre-
sentative whether the President
would veto any tax reduction bill
"that differs materially from the so
called Mellon plan"
Backers of the Mellon income rate
are pinning their hope on obtaining
| a record vote. With these rates al
ready in the bill any vote which
would be made under normal proce
dure, Rep. Longworth has pointed
out, would be on amendments ant
unless the amendments were adopted
the original rates would stand.

Resignation
) AWAITING ADVICE
Will Not Ask Secretary OF
Navy to Resign Until He
Hears From Counsel
CONTINUE INQUIRY


Washington, Feb. 12.-Having
placed on file at the White
House its unavailing demand for
the imm etliate resignation OF
Secretary DENLY the senate today
turned its inquisitorial spotlight
once more on the affairs of
former Secretary Fall.
Before the oil committee a sue
cessiOn of witnesses were ques-
toned about financial transac-
tions in the southwest in an ef-
fort by committee members to
delve further into Mr.. Falls con-
nectiOn and associations during
that period Of his career which
recently has come SO prominent
ly under public scrutiny.
So far as the senate's action
yesterday regarding Secretary
Denby is concerned both the
White House and the Secretary
himself appeared to regard the
incident as closed. President
Coolidge departed on a trip to
New York without adding to his
statement in which he said the
question was one for executive
and not legislative decision.
Nr. DENLY was at his desk as
usual and would only say that
he had no comment 10 make.
Whether the Navy Secretary
eventually may quit the cabinet
is question which only time
can answer. The President in
his statement left the way open
for any readjustment he may
desire later to make in his Off
cial family.
