The Democrats fare materially let
ter, as BELTS the situation Of a minor
ity party. NC Dermott and Rainey, of
Illinois, receive the chief comment, al
though Swager Sherley, Of Kentucky,
is also mentioned. Mr.. Sherley has
taken cognizance of his own inclusion
in the affair by demanding q special in
|vestigation by the House suppl Elemental
to the investigation which the Senate ]
through its Lobby Committee is now
making. Another distinguis De-
mocrat, Speaker Clark, of the House
is also mentioned, but in a way en-
tirely complimentary, the lobbyist re-
porting his complete inability to in
fluence the eminent RIissourian. Mr..
Clark has promptly confirmed that
part Of the lobbyists confession re-
ferring to him, as to the desperate eff
forts made by the Invisible Govern
ment to defeat him in 1908 and 1910.
Two Progressives come in for com
ment similar to that about Speaker
Clark, former Senator Beveridge, of
Indiana, and former Congressman
Pearre, Of Maryland. The lobby hay-
ing failed to influence them, devoted
itself vigorously to attempts to defeat
them. Other Democrats fought by the
lobby were Senator Hughes, Of New
Jersey; former Congressman Kelleher
and Connolly. of Massachusetts; Will,
son, of Illinois; Nichols, of Pennsyl-
Vania; and Burnett, of Alabama. if}
The publication of this confession
has vitalized the heretofore rather
languid investigation being conducted
by the Senate Committee. There is an
immediate demand for a thorough
probe which, with the lead furnished
by the confession of the lobbyist and
the mass of correspondence which is
reported TO be in his possession, ought
to result in a definite uncovering of
the Invisible Government. s-4s :s ~ f

EDUCATION BOARD TO
PROBE KNIGHT CASE
CONTINUED from First Page)


in favor of requiring the two men to
devote all their time to the board 3
work and of not allowing them to do
any work of their own at ell and tried
to put such q resolution through last
night, with the result that they were
outvoted.
Attacks Him "On Principle"
Mr.. Johnson opened his remarks
last night by taking a crack at Mr..
Guilbert, not for any specific act, but
as a matter of principle, he stated.
He said that Mr. Guilberts firm had
been retained by Herman c.
Schneider, the contractor, who is to
build the. new hotel near the Essex
Club, and who has had contracts
from the Board of Education. Mr..
Johnson pointed out that this was
wrong, because, he said, it might lead
Mr.. Guilbert to be disposed to favor
Schneider in connection with school
jobs.
1.-THE principle is wrong" said Com
missioner Johnson, ito place man in
the position where he is not apt to
be so strict as he might be in the
construction of buildings for the
board. MY friends, some of them
responsible, and others not so much,
have asked me if it isn't true that
employees of the board do work for
the firm of Guilbert Sc Beetle. l
have not an iota of evidence that
this is true, but nevertheless the
question is raised
Then Mr.. Johnson began his attack
upon Engineer Knight starting with
time when the pipes at the Cleve-
land school burst. At that time, he
said, Mr. Knight and his assistant,
Perry West, could not be reached,
and much damage was caused.
''If the engineer" said the COM
missioner, had. been here earning
his modest salary of $1,000 or If his
assistant had been on the job, we
might have saved much trouble.
81 would not for moment impeach
Mr. Guilbert's honesty or loyalty to
the board, for 1 know he has done
conscientious work, but as to the en-
gineer's department, have we an
honest man there? l wish that Mr.
Knight was here. for my remarks
were prepared with the expectation
that he would be.

cedure Of the woman and she was ar

settlement worker OF New York and
was investigating conditions here.
The police realized that she was
suffering from a temporary mental
arrangement and when she had re.
covered they discharged her.

FRANCE GROWS ALARMED
AT TARIFF ACT EFFECTS

WASHINGTON. April 25.-Through
Ambassador Jusserand here the
French government has called the at
tention of the state department to the
probable effect upon existing treaties
of, the new tariff bill.
Anxiety has been caused In France
by several of the administrative
clauses of the new bill, especially
those obliging merchants to show
their books and papers. In France a
decision of tribunal is indispensable
to compel any man to do So. The
clause in favor of American shipping
also is a source of apprehension. 1t
is pointed out to the state department
that such rules have been abolished
in France, as elsewhere, as entailing
retaliation.

Hundreds of people swarmed to
the Mankato Eagles picnic in Krons

picnic grounds in the forenoon and
brought dinners. Several stands
were running, and supplied every
body with soft drinks and ice
cream. w. H. Anderson occupied a
central figure in the events of the

That the Underwood tariff bill will
not injuriously affect Minnesota, but
in the long run will prove beneficial
is the opinion of Congressman w. S.
Hammond OF st. James, who was in
ST. Paul Saturday. Mr.. Hammond is
returning from Duluth, where he ad
dressed the state bankers conven
ton yesterday. He will return to
Washington in about two weeks. He
said to the Dispatch.
81 think the Underwood bill is a
fair BILL" said Mr.. Hammond, who
as member of the ways and means
committee, helped frame the bill "It
will affect the products of the sol
and the products of the mill. But
the reductions are equally as great
on the products raised in the south
ern, eastern, western and centra
portions of the country. There is
no discrimination between sections
or classes. | think we will find il
will increase competition and bene
fit the country as whole"
Asked how the bill in particular
will affect Minnesota farm and othel
| products, Mr. Hammond said tina
any measure which increases com
petition will naturally have tend
ency to reduce prices. For some
time now wheat has been higher il
Winnipeg than in Minneapolis, ant
as long as that is the case cutting
the duty on wheat will not affec

Plans Gravel Road
System In The State
from Mondays Daily.

''S'NNJ . S6hys
Complete plans for an extensive
highway system including 1900
miles of gravel roads connecting all
points in the state were completed
Saturday by the state highway COM
mission, and upon it's recommends
ton the county boards will consider
them at the annual meeting now in

State roads in most counties. COW
ering in all about $4,000 miles. have
been designated without any system
and regardless of whether the coun-
ty could ever build them, according
to State Highway Engineer Cooley.
For this reason, he said, the state
road system should be revised, and
placed under a comprehensive plan
with a limited mileage that is pos
slble of construction. Under the
plan suggested by the commission
70 per cent of the old state road
designations will become a part of
the permanent highway system, re-
quiring new designations for about
300 miles.
The present highway laws re-
quire that all state roads be con-
structed and maintained by the
counties, and do not allow town.
ships to work on them. Many of
the roads in the old designations
now shown on the maps as state
roads. which townships may wish
TO construct or improve, will be
taken out from this prohibition by
the proposed plan," Mr.. Cooley ex-
plains in a communication to the

there was jack in the box under
it, for it seems that the little
