SEEK TO DELETE
CONTINGENT FUND

What is undeniably the biggest oil
all sensations that have stirred the
house OF representatives since the
| opening Of the session came this
morning when Speaker H. L. Holstein
took the floor and introduced q resolu.
ton instructing the finance committee
to delete from the appropriation bill
the item of $4,000 asked by Gov,
Pinkham for his contingent fund.
Had a bombshell exploded in the
midst of the house, the members
could not have exhibited greater sur
prise than that caused by the intro
duction of the resolution. And the
fact that Speaker Holstein himself
took the floor to father the measure.
which was drawn up last night, Gre
ated even more surprise.
The resolution is as follows:
Resolved, that the committee on
finance be instructed to delete from
the appropriation bill that it is now
considering the sum of money which
is known as the contingent fund to be
expended by the governor; and,
further, that it is the sense of this
house that the amount appropriated
last session as a contingent fund was
lunwisely and injudiciously spent"
81 want the contingent fund cut
out" declared Speaker Holstein this
morning. ''In my opinion It is not
necessary. 1t is an injudicious. method
of spending money"
Harbor Board and Utilities
Another resolution, fathered by
Representative Tavares, relates to the
harbor board and the public utilities
commission, 1t brings up C. R.
Forbes first trip to Washington, the
payment of $40 to members of the
utilities commission every time they
meet, and the purported immense
overhead charges that are incurred on
public Improvement projects. This
resolution is as follows:
Resolved, that the BOARD Of harbor
commissioners and the public utilities
commission be instructed by the clerk
to forward to the house of representa-
tives segregated itemized statements
of their expenditures from November,
1915, to April, 1916"
81 want to have the house find out
how many meetings have been held
w
what has been done at these meetings
and whether the SO paid each mem
Der is worth the meeting says
Speaker Holstein.
Overhead Charges Termed Burden
The taxpayers of thjs territory are
being overloaded with overhead
charges. The legislature meets and
passes certain laws for congress to
approve. We have a delegate In
Washington who acts accordingly and
who is the representative of the
people. A government officer goes
there, not as a representative of the
legislature, but to interfere with the
work of the delegate.
Whether this official was sent by
the governor or not, we don't know
But are the expenses justified for
these trips to supersede the work that
is being done by the delegate In con-
gress? Are they. proper expendi-
tures?"
Speaker Favors National Guard
Asked at this point If he anticipated
any investigation of the National
Guard by the legislature, Speaker Hol-
stein replied he does not.
Il favor the guard 1t is my pet
policy" he added. But do not like
the plan of spending money from one
bureau to another"

roses BLOOM ON APPLE
Tree IN KENT COUNTY

While il is seldom one hears Of
garden flowers growing on fruit trees,
there is an apple tree in Kent county
which blossoms each spring with pink
roses exactly like those grown on tho
average rose bush. with the excep-
ton that they grow in clusters like
cherries.
This tree stands in the front yard
OF the Joseph zavis farm. on the State
Road, near Denney's Corner. The tree
was planted years ago by Julian En-
erson. He experimental at grating
and his whim led him to try growing
flowers on fruit trees. He grated a
rose bush on the young apple tree,
but did not live long enough 10 see
the result Of his experiment. This
year Mr.. zavis has plucked hundreds
OF roses from the apple tree. II is an
apple tree IN name only, for 1t will
never bear fruit.

Tragic realities eclipsed the honey
moon of Pearl Heitkamp Redenbaugh,

her boy husband Joseph Redenbaugh,
10. were arrested here charged with a
cold-blooded crime.
The police held them as responsible
for the murder of Mrs. Alice CUTLER
Dunn in St. Paul. Mimi, on April &c.
It is believed now that the girl is
innocent and that what she thought
was a happy wedding trip to the
Pacific was a flight by her husband
from the scene of the killing.
Redeiibaugh willingly confessed.

plices killed Mrs. Dunn for the sum
of $4,000, and two nights before mort
ally wounded Policeman Connery. OF
Minneapolis. who had arrested them
for speeding.
The youthful prisoner, who stoutly
maintains his wife knew nothing OF
his evil doing, amazed officials by his
cool recital of an astounding list OF
crimes that began when he was only
nine years old.
Pearl Heitkamp. the bride, is a
Small town" girl. Her mother is
prominent in the society of Columbus
and had given her daughter musical
education in St. Francis Academy
Kansas City.
Last January the girl met Reden
baugh, who posed as a 'well-to-dc
young jewelry salesman" His dash
ing, worldly-wise manner completely
captivated the unsophisticated girl
When they were married in February
her friends considered the romance a
happy one. Other village girls thought
Pearl had done well to land a good
looking travelling man"
Redenbaugh admits the jewelry he
sold was phoney and that a few hours
before his wedding he robbed a Ne
braska bank to raise funds for the
honeymoon.
When the arrest was made here the
bride refused TO believe her husband
guilty. She thought the police had
made a foolish mistake. The next day
though. she collapsed when she saw
his printed confession, and then quick

Yes, Dearie. l did it, he answered.
But you mustn't cry. 1t won't do any

And then when a matron led the
girl away, the cool youth said to an
officer:

wanted her to keep that impression.

hate to lose her"
After the first shock Of the confess

said. "He didn't want a child to bear

Alkali Makes Soap
Bad For Washing Hair

Most soaps and prepared shampoos contain
too much alkali. which Is very injurious, as
it dries the scalp and makes the hair brittle
The best thing to use is just plain mulsi-

greaseless. It's very cheap. and beats the
most expensive soaps or anything else all to

and few ounces will last the whole family
for months.

rub it in, about a teaspoonful is all that is
required. Il makes an abundance Of rich

DEFENDS HARVESTER CO.
One of your contributors, Mr.. S. III.
Shot, gives new currency in The
Day Book to an ancient and lOng-ex-
pIOded faIsehoOd about this company,
as to which you may wish to set your
readers straight, or at least your con-
tributOr.
In a communication published
Feb. 20, Mr.. Shot says go
the harvester trust shows considera-
ton for the farmer by selling its pro-
ducts cheaper abroad than to the
American farmer"
Our products are sold cheaper in
the United States than anywhere else
and we have but one price. There
never was any justification or excuse
for any such charge. It began a good
many years ago as campaign fabTi-
cation, a piece of sheer invention.
That it still persists and is believed
and repeated by intelligent people
testifes to human creduIity, to hui
man carelessness about the truth
and to the amazing vitality of a
plausible lie.
In 1909 this falsehoOd was official
ly and aUthOritatively stamped as
such in two reports rendered by the
