MONEY PROBE
IS SUSPENDED
Committee is Now IN Doubt
as to its Power to Inquire
Into Banks
i5y Associated Press }

WASHINGTON, Jan. l7.--Hearings Of
the house money trust committee will
be suspended late next week, according
to an announcement tonight by Chair
man Ptjo, who assigned as the principal
reason the doubt cast upon the power Of
the committee to inquire into internal
affairs of banking institutions.
The statement added the action was
especially due to several bankers refusal
to disclose the names of individual loans
and the borrowers of upward of one
million dollars which wou'd affect only
thirteen institutions in ne United
States"
Without this information, ard in the
absence of means Of ascertaining the
character of the business done by banks
that have made huge profits in compar-.
atively short time, it is manifestly i'm
possible for the committee to ascertain
whether, aid, if so, to what extent these
banks and their funds have been, and
are being. used by great financial inter-
ests in the furtherance Of their schemes
or to the exclusion Of competing busi-
ness

GIVEN
BRANDT
Valet Of New York Banker
viii Go 10 Minnesota with
Senator Nelson
(ey Associated 1ress.)

. ALBANY, N. Y, Jan. l7.-Governol
sulzer today, pardoned Folke Brandt
former valet Of Mortimer Schiff, the New
York banker, on the ground that the
sentence Of thirty years imposed upon
Brandt for. burglary was excessive.
At the request of Governor Sulzer, At
torney G. eral Carmody made a state
ment, in which he said he favored the
pardoning of Brandt not as matter of
mercy, but as matter Of Justice He
criticised the court procedure through
which Brandt was tried and sentenced.
Attorney General Carmody declared
the governors action wiped out "a blot
on the judiciary OF the state" and show
ed that nothing can defeat the ends OF
justice"
Senator Nelson Of Minnesota also made
a speech. in which he characterized
Brandts sentence as judicial tyranny.
Earlier in the day Senator Nelson had
conferred with the governor in Brandt's
behalf and Brandt's counsel had present
ed petitions from forty-two state and
national Swedish societies urging that
Brandt be re.eased. The condition Of
Brandts pardon was his confessing to
falsehoods in former efforts to gain his
release.
In this connection, Governor. Sulzer
read letter from Schiff explaining that
while he had heretofore, opposed applt-
cations for Brandt's release because
''thcy were based upon lying scandals
that mark upon my honor" he would
not oppose the pr..ent application if
asked for as M act of mercy rather than
of justice. .4.,Yf
After spending q short time in Wash
ington with Senator Nelson. Brandt will

DRAPER IS
. HELD FOR
ROBBERY
Postmaster at Wing is Under
Bonds for Connection With
Shortage Of Funds

H. B. Draper, postmaster at Wing,
was arrested Wednesday on charge
of being implicated in the robbery or
the postoffice at that place on or
about December 18th.
Draper was brought before U. y.
Commissioner NJ. J. Mckenzie In this
city Thursday, waived examination,
and was bound over to the next term
of the U. S. court in the sum o..
$500, the bonds being furnished by
Attorney General Miller and d, J. Nc
Gllis OF this city.
AS stated in the Tribune of Friday,
Baker, who is also charged with hav-
ing robbed the postofiice there, was
brought before Commissioner Mcken-
zie, and, in default of bail, was placed
in the custody of Sheriff Barnes. Ea.
ker will be given a preliminary hear
ing on Saturday, aJnuary 25th.
A Tribune representative called on
Baker at the county Jail Friday after
noon. The prisoner is IL young man
of good appearance, fairly we'll dress
ed, and does not look like the post.
oflice-robbing kind. He said that he
disliked to make application to any
one at home that might go on his
bond, for the reason that he did not
care to let his people know that he
was in trouble.
According to the story told by Ba-
ker, his first name is Herbert, he has
been running a restaurant at Wing
and also worked i'm Sachs Bros store,
where the postofiice is located. He is
a married man and his wife, his three
year-old child and his mother live at
Wheatland, N. d.
Baker said that he had been drink
ing the night before the robbery and
the day of the robbery, according to
plans made some time previous, took
the Wilton-Pingree branch train and
went east. This excited suspicion,
and, upon his return, in spite of the
fact that he found it necessary to bor-
row money for train fare, he was ac-
cused OF having robbed the postofiice
and store.

Contractors IN
FARGO Combine

w II. i.
Assertions made by City Attorney En-
erson H. Smith Of Fargo at the Munici-
pal league meeting in Grand Forks that
a city contractors combine in Fargo has
cost that city 25 per cent. more for pub
lie improvement than the same improve
ments have cost in Grand Forks resulted
in a resolution offered by the legislative
committee of the league
The resolution demands that the leg
is'ature give the cities Of the state the
right to reject all bids and do contract-
ing work in the way OF public improve
ments themselves when the bids of con-
tractors are regarded as excessive.
Another resolution offered and adopted
would have the county treasurers issue

COMMERCIAL .
TROUBLE IS

Federal Officials at Washinq-
ton Anticlpate Disturbance
With Argentine
10y Associated rress.)

WASHINGTON, Jan. 17--State depart
ment officials expressed disturbance to-
day over what they fear may result in
Il disastr us commercial war between Ar
gcntina and the United States. They
have had reports to the effect that Ar
gcntna is likely to retalate against the
United States for what it believes is an
unfair commercial advantage taken of 1t
By this country.
Brazil grants to the United States q
special dfferental on imports OF wheat
flour which also allows this country to
compete successfully with Argentina in
that field. The state department has
been informed this Is being looked on
as unfricndly and there Is suppressed
sentiment in the Argentina congress
which. it is said. may break out any
time, in favor of the retaliatory action.
John Garrett, minister from this coun-
try to Argentina, is here now. FIe has
called at the state department, where
he conferred with Assistant Secretary Of
state Wilson and others His visit may
he in connection with the threatened
commercial war. This is denied howev-
cr.
Consideration is being given by the
state department to the vigorous edito-
rails appearing in the leading Argentine
papers calling on their legislators to pro-
tect the interests of farmers and millers
of their country.
While the officials are giving the mat
ter careful thought. no line of action has
been decided upon.

MAIL Drivers TEAM
FELL IN Big CRACK
Especial to Tribune.)

BERG, N. D., Jan. 17-McKenzie coun-
ty has had numerous freak accidents,
but one OF the most peculiar was that
which happened to one of Stage Driver
Peterson's horses. He was late and was
making the trip in the dark when the
team stopped sAidenly and one of the
horses was down. He investigated and
found the horses fast in the earth. He
made n trip nearly mile away to a
farm house and secured a lantern and
help. On their return it was discovered
the horses had slipped their forefeet into
a four-inch winter crack in the roadway
and one of them was held as fast as if
in vice. Because of the heavy rains
last fall and the fact that the surface
of the ground is not covered with snow,
the roadways in many parts of the coun-
ty are scaritied with huge winter cracks.
