 In order that the interallied confer ence may benefit by all this matter, it is to be laid before commission created for the purpose: it is even probable that it will be submitted separately to each in order to hasten a cq0clusion.
 So far as they have expressed, them selves the Americans, after Q painstaking examination, which is still in progress, find nothing.- it is declared, which en- dangers any American ideals, such as the Monroe doctrine, for instance.
 One point upon which the Americans will insist. it is understood, is that what ever project is adopted, it shall be in- cluded in the treaty which officially terminates the world war.

House Adjourns by Pickering Light of
 Matches and Candles
By Associated Press

Washington, January 14.-By the flickering light of matches two candles and a lantern, the House ad journed tonight half an hour earlier than had been planned. Due to crossed wire outside the building, the House chamber was plunged into darkness while Representative Deni- son of Illinois was in the middle of a speech on the legislative, executive and judicial appropriation bill, which was under consideration.
 MT. Denison stopped in the middle of a sentence and for a minute there was not sound. Then general hub bub arose as members called upon each other for matches. Watchmen groped their way into the basement, looking for candles and lanterns, but only a few could be found.
 "I move we adjourn" someone called from the darkness. Others repeated the motion, which was carried. but not before floor leaders had secured an agreement for the House to meet an hour earlier tomorrow morning so as to make up for the lost time.

of police, otherwise they would not and
ould not exist. Even if those places
pay nothing but votes at election time,
they are unlawful and render the re-
sponsible officials amenable to prosecu-
ion for malfeasance and nonfeasance
Of office. But many Of those who will
not vote for another term of Hatch for
mayor feel confident and positive in
their hearts that the minions of law
lessness and sinfulness have paid some
,ne, somewhere, at some place, for
their unlawful privileges.
The more dignified, careful and eau
tious citizens, those who hesitate to
charge graft in the matter Of blind
pigs, redlight women and gamblers, do
rot hesitate to charge fragrant extrav-
agance against the Hatch administra-
ION, from. mayor down to street sweep
ers.
In the first place, they contend that
Eveleth has been keeping and paying
entirely too many police. This little
city has had as high as 33 policemen
on the payrolls and their average wage
las been around $125 q month. That
is larger force than Superior sup.
rorts, ritv six or seven times larger
than Eveleth.
Then there are severe criticisms as
to the administration of the municipal
woodward. Time will develop the de.
tails as to that.
Then there has been serious criticism
over the payroll at the city's recrea.
'ional building. Service of custodians
and janitors was costing Eveleth 81 400
month when the cost for similar serv.
zoe for the state canitol building at st.
Paul was only $2,100.
There is some interesting gossip
about municipal employees planting DO.
tatoes, cultivating them and even dig.
ging them on the city's time and with
the help Of city automobiles, gasoline
and tools. a la Halden and Walker in
the marble-lined courthouse in Duluth.
Certain city employees complained
hat some one was stealing potatoes
from patch at the cemetery, said po.
tatoes being planted and cultivated by
city servants, during the city's hours
it is alleged. As result, so the know.
:ng boys say, a night watchman was
stationed at the cemetery spud patch
and his pay came from the kindly old
city's long-suffering treasury.
There are other charges that Mayo,
Hatch has grossly abused his contin'
gent fund by taking trips to Duluth
and the Twin Cities-trips that took
time and money not at all in proportion
% mayor Hatch's business in those
cities, either public or private.
Mayor Hatch. of course, snuggles ul
closely to the Big Interess. He once
was an humble servitor for the Oliver
company and he has been credited with
aspiring to an easy job with fat sal
sry in the noble Wolvin building wher
''e gets Eveleth sucked dry.

the STATE EXAMINER
AUO|TS EvA'S BOOKS
Red Cross No Longer Pays
Boy Scout Colonel for
Fire Relief Work.

The state public examiner recently
spent several long, weary weeks in
auditing the books Of the Minnesota
Forest Fires Relief association, as
housed in the noble armory, in charge
Of the little Col. Eva.
Of course the public cannot be taken
into the confidence Of either the public
examiner or the Relief association. The
Rip-saw, however, has received few
words of underground information
which are slightly enlightening.
This great family journal is solemn
ly assured that Col. Eva receives $4,000
a year for acting as general manager
for the Relief commission.
In the past, when the public growled
over paying such big, warm salary
to such a little, cold colonel, the argu-
ment invariably has been presented
that Little Eva was costing neither the
state of Minnesota nor the fire suf-
ferers anything, but that his princely
salary was paid by the American Red
Cross.
Since the audit of the Relief COM
Missions books, the Rip-saw is SOL
emnly assured that the American Red
Cross no longer is paying the noted
little pap-sucker his salary of $4,000
year. 1t further is intimated that
the state appropriation is none too
large, the unusued portion.
But, the Rip-saw is assured, there
