AZ Now In Session
Forty-two legislatures are now
meeting and two more-California
and Florida-convene in the spring.
Only four Louisiana, Mississippi.
Virginia and Kentucky-will not meet
for a year or more.
There was every indication, how.
ever. that ratification by the neces-
sary 36 states within seven years
would not come without furious re-
sistance from dry organizations. They
Immediately answered the echo Of the
289 to l21 vote In the house with a
call to rally and fight to the finish"
in the states.
Congress, which first thought it
had dismissed the problem by voting
for ratification by state conventions
instead OF legislatures as has been
customary in the past, found itself
still in possession of q difficulty.
Constitutional authorities were split
as to whether the state legislatures
or congress should provide for setting
up the convention machinery.
Wyomings legislature has already
passed and the governor has signed q
bill to provide for the constitutional
convention.
Other states In which action was
begun IN some quarter Monday are
Massachusetts, New York, Ohio. Wis
constn. Georgia, New Jersey, West
Virginia. Arizona, Missouri, Delaware.
California. Michigan. Iowa. ana Penn.

TWICHELL-FLANN|GAN
IN BITTER DEBATE.
over CAPITOL BILL.
Charges and Counter Charges
Hurled As Other Members
Call For Action

Declaring that had the governor
and the Nonpartisan League sought
legislation to increase the capitol
commission from three to five men,
bers. he would have supported them.
L. L. Twichell, Cass county. made a
lashing attack against the house bill
proposing to place supervision Of
North Dakota's new capitol under the
board of administration.
"You propose to brand these men,
berS OF the capitol commission as ur-
it," Twichell said. The investiga-
ton has not shown 1t. Had the gov
ernor merely increased the commits
sion he would have had control Of it
and could have supported the BILL"
His attack was the signal for w. J.
Flanagan, Stutsman county repre-
sentative and member of the legis-
lative investigating committee that
probed the activities Of the commits
sion, to take the floor in a successful
effort to place the bill on the calen-
dar.
These members Of the capitol COM
mission haven't used good business
sense" said Flanagan, land there
are many things could stand up
here all Afternoon and tell you about"
He criticized the appointment of
Aaron T. Jahr as an assistant to Geo.
L. Bangs. member Of the commission,
the contracts ard other points men,
toned frequently in the three-weeks
hearing. concluded a few days ago.
Wanted Only Facts
Fannigan. answering Twichell,s
criticism that the capitol commission
ers had not been treated fairly"
said. I'VE didn't care to listen to
lot Of why's and wherefores of the
commissioners: we we're fact find
Ing body and We wanted only facts"
When members Of the house
shouted question" in an effort to
stop the debate, Twichell said, IT
want to answer Flanagan. I know
something Of what went on at that
investigation. Have you ever been at
trial where the lawyer asked the
man on trial II he had stopped beat
Ing his wife and then told him an
swer that. yes or no. Well. that's the
type Of questions asked at the capitol
investigation
Twichell said Flanagan had told
the state affairs committee when q
hearing was held on the bill, he
thought w. F. Kurke, Fargo, q better
architect than Joseph Bell DeRemer
OF Grand Forks.
Flanagan shouted back. where do
you get that stuff? Stick to the
TRUTH" with Twicheu answering, "I'u
leave it to any member Of the COM
mittee."
As members Of the house grew rest
less and the gallery and main floor
began to fill up with visitors, Speaker
Minnie d. Craig sought to stop the
debate.
IT you are going to give speeches
on everything from A to z" she said.
"Weu never get out Of here"
Flanntgan took the fls.r again and
IN answering statements Of Twichell
said that Lundoff- Bicknell Co., gem
eral contractors for the capitol, were
lin the clear" adding, but it's q poor
contract for the state"

Opposing increases proposed by the
railroads on freight rates between
North Dakota and eastern states, E.
NJ. Hendricks, traffic expert for the
state railroad commission, testified
before an Interstate Commerce Com
mission examiner here late Monday.
Hendricks was on the stand for two
hours of direct examination and will
be cross-examined later in the session
which IS expected to continue for sew
eral days.
Increases proposed by the railroads,
he said, are unfair and discriminating
against North Dakota. He contended
the higher rates would destroy the re-
lationship prescribed by the I. c. G.

 Health 1.84 percent; education 5.29 percent; professional business 1.40 percent; seeking employment 1.23 percent; missionary work 0.76 percent; official business 0.23 per- cent; scientific work O.24 percent.
 The $143,450,0O0 these travel lers spent in 1882, when chang ed into British pounds bought them nearly twice as much as the same sum would buy to- day. As an instance, at today's rate of exchange approximately $143,- 000,000 would buy about 24,000,000 British pounds. But year ago with the pound at $3.26 7-S it would buy approximately 44,000.000 pounds Stated in other terms. 1t means that the cost of European travel is al. | most doubled.

 her first call at the island Decem- Der 31, according to advice re- ceived here yesterday.
 For years horse-lovers have picked their way over the palm fringed roads and bridle paths of the Island, but have not had
 until recently, a course over which flat-racing and steeplechasing could be carried on.
 Now the racetrack is nearly complete with pari-mutuel ma chimes and other accessories. Ba-
 hamian equestrians are hailing the advent of cowboy from the Can
 adian prairies as an opportunity to stage a western rodeo.
 The cowboy is Wifi Carter, a westerner who is making the Christmas and New York cruise of maica, Cuba and the Bahamas to entertain the passengers. Carter, who has never seen the sea, was @ dude-wfangler at Banff who rode
 with 8 guitar at his saddle horn in-

LEVITT CANCELS
 DECISION APPEAL
Finding of Public Utilities Commission FavOring
 Company Stands

The famous Manchester electric rate case, appeal from which was to have been heard in the Hartford county superior court this week, was brought to a sudden end be- fore the case could be reached when Professor Albert Levitt ot Bedding, attorney for the petition. CTS. signed a stipuation of with. drawal of the appeal.
 The appeal had been taken from the decision of the Connecticuf Public Utilities commission in which the latter found that the electric rates charged by the Manchester Electric Company were not 'un- reasonable and discriminatory" as alleged in the petition submitted to if bv Matthias Speiss and thirty nine other Manchester residents.
 Great interest was drawn to the commisison's hearing on this peu- fion. The commission went into the Manchester company's rate struc- ture. accounting methods and com many history in great detail, taxing a mass of testimony which 1t re- 0uired five days to hear.
 During the hearing, the conn many used public utility rate ex- rerts to refute. the claims of Pro- fessor Levitt and his clients. 1erra mart of the first day of the hearinR being consumed in hearing fine testimony of a Stone & Weoster expert employed by the company ana almost the entire second day being devoted to a very detalled eA- nlanation of the area rate by sam 1eI ferguson, president of the com pany, whom Professor. Levitt au- mitted as an expert witness With- out qualifying him. .
 The petitioners attorney at- tempted rebuttle of the witnesses hv Vigorous cross-examination on many hypothetical rate situations.
 From the very start, the case was marked with sharp verpaI clashes between Professor Levitt and members of the commission, and between him and the company counsel. Austin D. Barney and Richard J. Smith. Attorney Jonh r. Collins represented the commits sion. After the hearing. both sides fiIed briefs with the commission which rendered it's decision favor- ing the retention of the existing electric rates in Manchester on February 6, 1883. Following the deeision. Professor Levitt filed no- tice of appeal, which would nave been argued on Tuesday, November 21. except for the withdrawal.
