houses had set forth upon what promises to be a long series of in- vestigations in this re-presidential campaign session.
 From the concluding pre-holiday meetings of the two houses were ab- sent the hurly-hurly scenes enacted in most Of those that had gone be- fore. Death had paid it's first visit to the new congress, claiming one of the oldest of the senate members.
 The was an unusual hush in the Senate as that body was called to order by Vice President Dawes. \ brief opening prayer was said by the chaplain, then all business on the calendar was put aside for the adop- ton Of a resolution of regret over the death Of Senator Jones. A con- mittoe to attend his funeral was named and then all adjournment resolution ended the session.
 In the house, two bills, to author ize the construction Of bridges con- stituted the sum total of the days legislative effort but several mem- bcrs took occasion to make brief ad- dresses. Henry Allen Cooper of Wis Consin, one ot its veteran members, scored the practice of slipping bills through without members being notified that they were to be con- sidcred He said that he had known times when a member opposed to bill would be invited into the lobby for an important consultation" while the measure was passed. Speaker Longworth agreed with Mir. Cooper and declared that hereafter he would watch such procedure even more closely.
 Tn speaker and the majority leader both complimented the House membership on the work that had been done in the short time since congress convened on December 5. Then the house adopted a resolution by Representative Morrow, Demo- crat Of New Mexico, expressing re- gret over the death of Senator Jones, and immediately adjourned out Of respect to his memory.

MOVIE PIONEER
M0URNED TODAY
Uncle Bill Clune, Leader in
Advance From NickelOdeOn
Days, Is Dead

Los Angeles, Oct. 10. (AP) =
Filmland today mourned the death
of William H. (Uncle Billy Clune,
who was one of the pioneers on the
trail that led motion pictures out of
the penny arcades and nickelodeons
into the glittering movie palaces Of
the present day.
A paralytic stroke yesterday re-
suited in the death of the 65-year-
old film man today, whose vision a
quarter Of a century ago of what
the film industry was to become re-
warded him with a fortune esti-
mated at $20,O0O,O00.
A fortunate real estate venture
gave Clupe, who started as q rail-
road engineer, the money to open q
small film exchange, with a few
comedy reels as his only stock in
trade. It grew to a small fortune
when he risked everything to build
the first of his theatres to present
screen dramas on what is now con-
sidered a lavish scale.
He plunged to enter the field Of
producing and blazed a trail in the
production Of long film features.
Buying studio from Mary Pick
ford, the actress, he produced such
pictures as 1.-THE Clansman," "The
Shepherd of the Hills," eyes Of the
World" Ramona" and "Intoler-
ance."
0. K. Evans, secretary of the
Clune theatre company, said the
bulk Of the estate was bequeathed
to the theatre mans son, ]. w.
Clune, who is president of the COM
pany. A sister. Miss Mary Clune
Of Hannibal, Mo-, Clune's birthplace,
was provided for.

ROOSEVELT AND
NAVY DAY TO
BE OBSERVED
Governor Pr0claims October n
as Joint Holiday-Praises
Former President

Proclamation Of October 27 as
Roosevelt and Navy Day was made
here today by Governor A. G. Sor-
lie.
Pointing out that the date marks
the Sixty-ninth anniversary of the
birth of the former president, Gov
ernor Sorlic said the event is of par
ticular Importance to the people of
North Dakota.
Roosevelt came here in search of
health and strength and his life in
the open as Il frontier ranchman
transformed him from physical
fraiNy TO robust manhood" the
proclamation said. while his great
est contributions to Americanism
and the cause Of humanity were
made from more prominent stages
than his Elkhorn ranch, neverthe-
less the nation is indebted to North
Dakota as the state that gave to
Roosevelt the healthful vigor which
marked his career. He loved the
wholesomeness of his companions
and friends here and through the
years cherished happy memories Of
his life in North Dakota"
Pointing out that the United
States Naval Institute has selected
Roosevelt's birthday as Navy Day,
the governor said it is highly fitting
since Roosevelt bent his energies to-
ward perfecting the United States
navy throughout his life.
Exercises should be held through
out the state wherever possible with
special consideration being given to
the principles which governed Roos-
evelt's life and made him the most
typical American of modern times,
the proclamation said.
Thoughtful consideration should
be given the American navy and
merchant marine, the proclamation
said, and incidentally called atten-
ton to the campaign for funds to
reconstruct "Old Ironsides" famous
American warship Of the sailing ves-
sci age.

MINERS FACING
PICKET ARREST
Illegality of Colorado Strike
Claimed by Authorities
WalkOut Continues

Denver, Oct. 19.-(AP)-Striking
Colorado coal miners affiliated with
the Industrial Workers of the World,
today faced an ultimatum from state
and county authorities that all
pickets would be arrested because
yesterdays strike call was illegal.
Although approximately 1000
mines responded to the I.W.W. strike
order, only part Of the states coal
fields were seriously affected thus
far.
United Mine workers, although in
the minority in most fields, con-
tinued to denounce the movement
and attempted to carry on their
usual duties.
I.W.W. leaders declared the walk
out virtually 100 per cent effective in
the Boulder district north of here,
but this was disputed by mine Off
cials. Several mines in the southern
part of the state were reported op-
Grating with about half the regular
forces.
Arrest Of II pickets in the Trini-
dad district by Sheriff J. j. Marty
marked the first action Of authori-
ties to prevent the spread Of the
movement. The pickets were held
without charge last night, but Off
GERS said they would be charged with
violation Of the state law requiring
30 days notice for strike orders. The
authorities claim no such notice was
given. The I.W.W. leaders maintain
the law was complied with.
Reports that carload of arms
and ammunition had been shipped to
the southern district for distribution
to strikers, were denied by I.W.W.
representatives and secuted by au-
thorities. The strikers insisted the
movement would be carried out
peacefully.
Strike notices posted by I.W.W.
demand a flat scale Of $3.50 q day
for all classes Of mine workers, q
six-hour day and q five-day week.

SECRECY WAS NECESSARY

Washington, Oct. 10. (AP) =
Completion of the defensc's opening
outline and taking Of government
testimony were in order today at the
trial Of Albert B. Fall and Harry +.
Sinclair on conspiracy charges aris-
ing from their famous lease Of the
Teapot Dome naval oil reserve.
Under the announced plans of gov
crnment counsel, George O. Smith
and George w. Holland Of the geo.
logical survey were to be among the
first witnesses called. They, it was
said, were prepared to testify con-
cerning the geological features Of
Teapot Dome and to introduce a map
of the territory, with Smith explain
ing why it was set aside as a natural
storage place for navy fuel.
The Government Task
The government has set for itself
the task Of proving that fraud and
conspiracy existed in the Fall-Sin-
clair transactions and that as a re-
suit of this alleged collusion the
United States was deprived of the
reserve and the oil it contained, the
services of Fall as faithful public
officer, and the policies of making
such leases open to competitive bid
ding and of storing oil underground
against the future needs Of the navy,
These objectives were outlined yes
terday by Owen j. Roberts, OF gov.
crnmental counsel, in his opening ad.
dress to the jury.

Of congress, told the jury evidence

that secrecy was necessary as the

LOWDEN ASKED
TO GIVE VIEWS
ON FARM NEEDS
Senator Nye Asks Illinois Man
to Clarity Position on
Vests interests
NEW FARM BILL PLANNED
Insurgent Group Hopes to
Frame Bill Which Will Meet
Borah's Approval
NEW FARM BILL PLANNED

Washington, Oct. 19.-(A9-The
newly formed group Of non-organ-
ized Republican senator's from the
Vest is standing by Senator Norris
IF Nebraska as its presidential
nominee and,. while ready to listen
TO the case OF Frank o. Lowden Of
Illinois. wants more information
from him as to his views OIL western
problems.
Senator Nye Of North Dakota, one
of the five senators now belonging
20 the Norris cluster, made this
clear in speech here last night
before the Washington Chamber of
Commerce, in which he asked Mr..
Lowden to clarity his position re-
.arding the interests of the west.
Wants Position Clarified
The North Dakota senator said
ne did not wish to cmbarrass the
candidacy Of Mr.. Lowden or to elm
mate him from the considerations,
out he thought it possible that Low
den "might soon see fit to clarity
his position" While the former
governor of Illinois has advanced
the McNary-Haugen bill, Senator
Nye declared that mere enactment
If this measure is not going to save
agriculture.
"With these thoughts in mind"
he added, II would assume that you
could understand why there are
many of us who would insist upon
tie candidacy for the presidency OF
enc like Sepator Norris and why
we feel that the st ought to en-
courage, in whatever way it can,
such 4 movement
Meanwhile this insurgcnt group,
which includes Senator Borah of
Idaho, Brookhart of Iowa and Fra
zier OF North Dakota, is busy work
ing out a new farm relief hill which
it hopes will be acceptable to Sem
ator Borah. an opponent of the
vetoed McNary-Haugen measure.
The new bill will eliminate the con-
troverted equalization fee provision
which met the disapproval Of Pres
ident Coolidge and of Senator Borah
as well.
Ranks Not Increasing
However, the ranks of the newly
organized bloc are not increasing.
Senator McMaster 0 South Dakota,
Republican. although not opposed to
their views has not been in confer
encc with the groups. Others from
the west are looking en- warily.
Such administration stalwarts as
Senator Smoot of Utah are giving
the faction no consideration
Selection of presidential candi-
date has appeared to be a stumbling
block to some of those who might
Join the movement. There is feel
ing among some that Senator Nor
ris, in his own words, 'has little
chance Of getting the nomination"
Senator McMasters says he would
be glad to campaign foc ether SEN
ator Norris or Senator Borah, but,
without naming candidate, he says
the people want to vote for man
who they believe can obtain the
nomination. He adds that the issue
is not men but a cause--farn relief.
Some members Of the group de-
clare privately their hope that, if
Senator Norris. will not make the
race or sees no chance of success,
Senator Borah will go forward in
their cause as a presidential candi-
date. This, however, j. predicated
upon formation of a farm relief bill
which agrees with the views Of the
1dahoan.
