ed to follow up the investigation of Senator

cations of the disposal of the offices at
Beatrice. Wyrhore and Blue Springs. 1t Is
charged that transactions in the nature OF
brides determined the appointments In

The Dietrich-Thompson political faction
in Nebraska assert that in this the grand

ticians for the purpose of dragging d. Il.
Thompson, minister to Brazil, into the con-
trOversy.
Thompson was state leader In the repub-

pointments in the towns mentioned. 1t Is
charged by opponents that Dietrich traded
post offices for votes to make him senator.
District Attorney Summers Is convinced
that evidence damaging to Dietrich and
Thompson can be had at the three towns.
