SENATOR JOHNSON
MAY HAVE TO SUBMIT TO IN
yESTIGATION BY ELEC-
TIONS COMMITTEE.

Washington, Feb. S.-There is a
election of Edward S. Johnson, demo-
crat, of Yankton, s. d., to the United
States senate may be investigated by
the senate committee on privileges
and elections.
The matter came up In connection
with a meeting of the committee on
the resolution of Senator Norris of
Nebraska, to investigate the elections
Of senators in Pennsylvania and IL
linois.
At the meeting, Senator Suther-
land of Utah, a republican, moved to
amend the resolution TO include in
vestigation of senatorial elections in
four other states, South Dakota. Cal
ifornia, Indiana and Alabama.
While this motion was defeated,
the committee ordered the resolution
reported with an amendment that 1t
include cases which the committee,
by reason of unofficial information,
believed warrants an investigation
justifable.
Senator Sutherland said that while
no formal charges against Senator
elect Johnson had been filed, strong
intimations coming from sources
which he considered reliable, had
been made to him that the election
laws had been violated in South Da-
kota. He would not disclose the
sources of his information.
Representative Charles III. Burke,
whom Mr.. Johnson defeated. was
asked about the case.
II have done nothing toward init
ating an Investigation, he said.
Yesterday | was sent for by some OF
the members of the senate election
committee who said that it had come
TO their notice that charges had been
made of an improper expenditure of
money in the election.
Il told the committee hat | under
stood from newspapers that former
Senator Pettigrew had filed with the
postmaster general a direct charge
that postoffces were used by MT.
Johnson to obtain his election to the
senate; that personally | had no
charges to submit, but If the commit
tee saw fit to investigate expendi-
lures in South Dakota / would be
glad to aid 1t to the extent of show
ing every cent expended by me or in
my behalf"

CONFIDENCE MEN
Try to Pull on a Stunt at Alexandria.

Alexandria, Feb. S.-A couple OF
respectable appearing strangers APP
peared in town the other day, and
representing themselves to be dealers
in Montana real estate, said they had
recently traded with a gentleman in
Mitchell for a couple of residence lots
in this city which they were willing
to cash at a low price. and finally
succeeded In selling the lots to City
Drayman Frank Hull, on contract to
deliver deed and abstract March /,
and receiving SIS cash as earnest
money" from the purchaser. Next
day, Truar Johnson of Mitchell, the
owner of the lots, happened in Alex
andria and when told of the transac-
ton, said he had not sold or dis
posed of the lots. but had had some
conversation with parties represent
ing themselves as land dealers with
reference to trading the lots in ques-
ton for Montana land. 1t appears
the dealers" had talked with the
owner of the lots sufficiently TO be-
come familiar with their description
and location, and was enabled to talk
conyincingly to their victim. The
parties have not been seen in this To-
cality since the transaction, and Mr..
Hull is congratulating himself that
the sum of his earnest money" was
no larger.

McAleer was originally arrested by
the Day county authorities in the
summer OF 1912. He had arranged
for the purchase of a quantity of
dynamite from a Webster citizen,
who informed the authorities. They
were on hand when the dynamite was
surrendered to McAleer. He was ar
rested and in his possession was
found fuses. decorating caps and
burglar tools. He was believed to
be n of the chief members of a
band of postoffce and bank thieves
who operated in South Dakota that
summer.
Judge Clay Carpenter was sitting
as judge of the state circuit court In
July, 1912, when McAleer entered a
plea of guilty to the charge of being
in possession Of cracksmen's tools.
which is a penitentiary offense under
the state law. When the prisoner
was brought before Judge Carpenter
the Judge recognized him as an old
school chum and a dramatic scene
followed. The judge gave McAleer a
severe lecture which brought tears to
the eyes of many of those i'll the
courtroom at the time. He exacted
from the prisoner the promise to
mend his ways and the eulprit gave
the promise In sentences broken by
heartrending sobs while tears rolled
down his cheeks. The Judge, believ-
iEg the repentance of the prisoner
vas genuine. then imposed the min
imum sentence-six months in the
county jail.
McAleer soon forgot the promise
he made in such a dramatic way, for
on the night of November IL of the
same year, himself and a couple of
other prisoners seized the sheriff,
choked him into insensibility and
made their escape. McAleer will be
closely watched to prevent another
attempt at Jail breaking.

PROGRESS OF CONDITIONS AS
COMPILED BY THE ASSO-
GATED PRESS.

New York, Feb. Special: OPP
erations In the western theater of
war are being confined mainly to In
decisive artillery duels, and interest
Is conferred in the desperate conflict
which is being waged to the west and
southwest of Warsaw in Poland.
Directly to the west of Warsaw the
Russians have assumed the offensive
and claim TO have crossed the Bzura
river and to have captured some of
the German positions south of Socha-
chew.
Immediately to the southwest is
the reinforced army of Field Marshal
von ~Hindenburg, who is hurting his
forces furiously against the Russian
lines in another attempt to drive his
way through to Warsaw, the goal
which he has long sought.
The assault led by Gen. Won Hin
denburg has resulted in one of the
most furious battles fought since the
beginning of the war. Only meager
news has been received 10 indicate
the trend of this conflict. Both sides
claim successes, but the reports do
not indicate that there has been any
decisive turn in the engagement.
The latest German official state
ment refers to the operations in the
west as consisting mainly of artillery
duels. The French war office says
that the French artillery has done
some very effective work in the val
ley of the Aisne. In Champagne, to
the north of BeauZjour, the allies
made some slight progress in Alsace.
The German attack to south of Alt
kirch was repulsed.
a dispatch from Geneva says that
Gen. Won Berdungen, staff command
er of the German operations in lower
Alsace, has been forced to move his
headquarters from a place near Alt
kirch 10 Muehlhausen, owing to a
bombardment by allied aviators,
State papers and valuables are being
removed from Muehlhausen TO Fret
burg. it is said.
The Overseas News agency Of Ber-
lin, says that a second German war
loan probably will be issued the LIST
of March and on favorable terms. as,
it is asserted, the condition of the
money market is exceptionally good.
The British government has ac-
eepted an offer by Australia to fur
nish another expeditionary force OF
10000 men. This force is in add
ton TO the reinforcement of 1000
men provided monthly.
