BOND ISSUE IS
VOTED A LAW
The Senate Oyer.rideS Lieutenant
Governor Arens Again to Elect
Committee on Committees.
By HENRY G. TEIGAN

Several important matters were
voted upon in both house and senate
during the past week.
The $15,OOO,OOO highway bond issue
which had previously passed the SEN
ate was approved by the house and
has now been signed by the governor.
The new law provides that SIS, AGO.
900 be made available during the
next biennium, in addition to the reg
ular income from license registration
fees and the gas tax. According to
Mr.. Babcock, commissioner of high
ways, the state will be able to pave
nearly 400 miles of highway this year
and an even greater amount in 1892.
The majority of the Farmer-Labor
members of the house voted against
the bond issue bill. There was, how
ever, not the same solidarity shown
by the FarmerLaborites against the
bill that has been manifested by the
group in years gone by. No doubt
the unemployment situation and the
realization that the upkeep of gravel
pavement, accounted for the change.
ReactiOnaries Steam Roller Arens.
The reactionaries of the senate
again rode roughshod over Lieutenant
Governor Henry Arens. BY a vote of
40 to &c they elected a committee
on committees made up of the fol-
lowing members: A. S. Larson, Rock
ne, Lightner, Anderson, and w. L.
Peterson. The five are members of
the conservative group. The talk of
proportional representation so much
INDUCED in at the opening of the ses-
sion by the conservative spellbinders,
has evidently been forgotten. Sena-
tor Devoid of Minneapolis, called at
tention to this shameful Inconsistency
and described the move as an attempt
to create committee on cemeter-
les"
Note this Roll Call.
The 40 senators who voted in favor
of the committee on committees are
as follows:
c. E. Adams, E. E. Adams, Ander-
son, Bonniwell, Child, Crowley, Duem-
Ike, Farnand, Finstad, Fisk, Hanson,
*Iverson, A. S. Larson, H. A. Larson,
Lennon, Lever, Lightner, Mackenzie,
McCubrey, Marshall, *Miller, Morri-
son, Orr, Peck, w. L. Peterson, Ribe-
mack, Richardson, Rockne, Roepke,
Rollins, Rosenmeier, *Sell, Serline,
Smith, Smullen, Sullivan, Todd, Web
err, Widell, and Wolfe.
Those who voted in the negative
and who thus supported Arens, are:
*Bell, *Bridgeman, *Buckler, *De-
void, *Fearing, *Gardner, *Hausler,
*Jacobs, *Lawson, *Loftsgaarden,
*Lommen, *McCornack, aMorin, Null
lin, *Naplin, *Nordlin, *Pattison,
*Pederson, *Putzier, *Regnier, *Rom-
berg, *Schmechel, *Siegel, *Spindler,
Sprung, and *Starks.

were elected with Farmer-Labor sup
port.

senate is that on S. F. No. 1893. This

NOVEMBER 80
ON PROBLEM
President of Association Plans
to Keep 0RIy Race Card
and the Horse Show

Abandonment of the Fairfax
county fair. at least in its agricul-
tural phases, probably will be the
result of the meeting of the board
of directors of the fair associa-
ton on November 30.
Estler M. Palmer, president Of
the association. has expressed the
belief that the day of the agri.
cultural fair is past and that activ-
tiles in the future should be con-
fined to the horse show and races.
Other directors have expressed
themselves in accord with Mr..
Palmer.
The board -1eeting also will de-
termine whether the stockholders
will be willing to subscribe to a
fund to clear the fairgrounds Of a
first trust note. The note is long
overdue and the National Bank of
Fairfax, holder, has demanded
payment be made Immediately.

EX-SEN. WELLER
To ENTER RACE
FOR CONGRESS
Reported Friends Encourage
Him to Be Candidate for
E: Representative

Former U. S. Seator o. E.
weller, of Maryland, is said to be
about to enter Che Republican
lists for Representative in Con.
gress from the Sixth Maryland
district in 1882.
The former Senator maintains
q home in Woodside, in Montgorl-
cry county, and since 1t was
learned a few weeks ago that he
might ente. the race he is said
to have been greatly encouraged
and promised support by his
friends.
Chief among these is said to
be U. S. Senator Philip Lee Colds
borough RO, of Baltimore, who
defeated Weller in 1928. 1t Is
learned that Senator Goldsbor-
ough has assured him that he will
give active aid to his candidacy
in case he decides to run.
An important factor in deter
mining the nomination is Fred
erick N. Zihlman, who repre-
sented the district for many years.
However, it is believed that zihl-
man will favor the Weller candi-
dacy. Should this be true, Re
publicans in the Sixth district
say the former Senator will in
every probability obtain the nomi'
nation.

After the list was completed a

but that his first name was Ernest.
He told Judge Peters he had been

The sheriff's office had become
confused due to the similarity Of

the man they summoned had an

fact that the two men lived in
the Wheaton district.

Dancers have taken out million

singers have protected their
throats against vocal losses, and

Jimmy is the proud possesSor
of the largest nose on the screen.
Mr.. Durante'S "schnozzle" is his
bread and butter and is not to
be shifted at. A slight cold or
a fleeting adenoid might rob him
of his appeal.
Uses a NOSe-bag
Jimmy is also very careful to
guard his "schnozzle" from the
prying eyes of tourists and when
ever dining in public usually cats
his meals out of a nose-bag.
But as he belongs to the most
exclusive stables in Beverly Hills,
he eats with only the best horses.

international Newsreel

-Four sites, including one near
Alexandria, are now being studied
by engineers selected to designate
an American terminal for a trans
Atlantic mail-passenger service
which will use huge dirigibles
costing $4,5OO,oOO each and with a
cruising speed of rs miles an hour.
This was disclosed by Comdr.
der j. C. HunSacker, vice president
and general manager of the In
ternational Zeppelin Transport
Corporation, who, with other Off
cials of the organization, appeared
before the House Interstate and
Foreign Commerce Committee to
urge legislation for mail subsidy
of the proposed service between
Europe and the United States.
Those under consideration are
in the general neighborhood Of
Philadelphia, B Ut more, Rich
mond, and Alexandria. An un-
named location few miles north
west of Philadelphia was said to
have given promise of better wea-
ther conditions than others, but
no selection has yet been made by
International engineers.
