One incident said to have been
investigated by the House Commits
sion in it's executive session was a
brawI among young men secretaries
one of them a son of a member, fol-
lowing a dice game in the House
Office Building.
Gun Play Is Alleged
This, it is said, almost ended in a
homicide, one of the young men
drawing a gun and discharging it at
one of his antagonists, following a
charge of LOADED dice" His aim
was bad, but this did not prevent
him being beaten severely, it is said.
There is another story that con-
Germs a member noted for playing
them tight" One night he had an
unusual streak of hard luck, and
when called away from the game
by a message notifying him Of the
death of a relative in his home state
was "out" $3.50.
A few days later telegram came
to him at his home from one of the
players advising him that a yellow
chip, which in this game represent
ed a $40 investment, had been
found under his chair, and winding
up with the query. "Is it yours?"
The Representative Immediately
wired back:
Think 1t is. Pay it to"
Both kilograms were paid for by
the unlucky member. the tolls ag-
gregating $3.50. When he returned
to Washington he learned that the
whole affair was a hoax, intended as
a joke on him. He failed to see the
joke, however.
The investigation has led to no
blanket indictment, but the word
has gone forth that crap games,
poker parties and led ticker" are to
be subject to dastic regulations.

eight others were buried in the
citadel.
There is campaign in New
York to have the body Of the sol
der buried there, but I think Ar
lington Cemetery is the most APP
popriate place."
Representative Fish said he had
received Endorsements for his pro-
posal from officers Of the American
Legion. John T. Taylor, legisla-
tive representative Of the Legion,
said:
Former soldiers have come to
feel that the people have forgotten
all about the war and the sacrifices
they have made. The burial of this
soldier in Arlington would be a
glorious thing, an everlasting honor
and would hearten greatly the TO-
mer soldiers"

EXHIBIT WORTH S1.OOO,OOO
Features Opening of Sixth Annual
National Tractor Show

Columbus, Ohio, Feb. 12.-Farm
machinery said to be worth more
than $1,OOO,O00 is on display at the
State Fair Grounds here for the
sixth annual National Tractor Show,
which opened Monday and contin-
ues until Saturday.
Practically every concern of any
size in the country has an exhibit
on the grounds, with a staff of sales
men to explain to visitors what
their particular machine will ac-
complish in the way Of modern soil
tilling.
During the week meetings of the
sales forces of several concerns will
be held. Bankers from Ohio and
neighboring states have been invit-
ed to attend a dinner, during which
it is planned to discuss ways and
means of advancing farming and its
L.aCfel interests.
Among exhibits which attracted
the most attention was a tractor, an
adaptation of the French baby war
tank. The machine is the same
used by the French during the war,
and needs only the addition of
armor and guns to be a full-fedged
tank. according to G. Baldenweck,
General Manager of the company

! COLBYEN TIRELY DIS
CREDITS REPORT
in AngIo-American Rela-
lions That Could Lead to War

Washington, Feb. 1.-THE re-
port as it reaches me seems utterly
preposterous. cannot credit it."
This statement was made by Sec
rotary of State Colby when his at
tention was called to a published
report that an unnamed official OF
the British Foreign Office had warn
ed American newspaper men that
the course now followed by both
countries tends toward war.
Mr.. Colby declared emphatically
that relations between the United
States and British Governments are
not in any sense strained. He SEEM
ed quite unable to account for the
action Of any official of the Foreign
Office in London making such
statement.
No official confirmation has been
received that such a warning was
gwen to American correspondents
in London. Mr.. Colby would not
say whether the State Department
had made or would make formal
inquiry regarding the facts.
The inclination in official quar-
ters was to construe the warning,
assuming one was given, as being
no more than a frank statement
that unbridled criticism in the press
of the two countries has a tendency
to infame public opinion and that
II was not intended for publication.
Questions are pending between
the United States and Great Bril-
tain, which are being discussed
candidly by officials of the two Gov
ernments. The State Department
and the London Foreign Office have
found themselves in disagreement
on numerous occasions since the
but there has never been
the slightest hint that any pending
matters could not be satisfactorily
ironed out.
No differences exist, according to
officials, which could possibly justi-
fy Great Britain and the United
States going to war.

Washington, Feb. 10.-Open war

bootleggers, operating in the House
Office Building as to which should
have the privileges and profits of
congressional patronage have reach
ed such proportions that the Con-
gressional Commission in charge of
the building has been forced to take
official cOgnizance of it.
1t was learned here that this
commission, of which Speaker Fred
erick H. Gillett. former Speaker
Champ Clark, Representative Isaac
Pacharach. of New Jersey, and Su-
perintendent Elliott Woods, of the
Capitol, are members, conducted an
extended hearing that resulted in
action to end the distribution of
liquor among members of Congress
and their secretaries.
One employee, said to be impli-
Gated in the distribution of liquor
to the members and their clerks,
was suspended for 80 days. and
warnings were issued to others that
similar or worse fate awaited
them If they persisted in the alleged
practice.
Check Said To Be Evidence
Numerous witnesses were sum-
moned, and 1t is said that the evil
dence against the suspended attache

for consignment of whisky by a
member of Congress.
The whisky transaction is said to
have come to light through the keen
rivalry Of the bootleggers who were
contending for the exclusive privi-
lege of supplying the House ONCE
Building.
Representatives of one of the
outside syndicates contend that the

HERO SHOULD LIE By POTOMAC

Washington, Feb. u. Transfer
of the body of an unidentified
American soldier from France, for
burial with impressive ceremonies
in Arlington National Cemetery,
was urged by General John j.
Pershing before the House Military
Aairs Committee the other day.
The committee is considering a
bill by Representative Hamilton
Fish, Jr, of New York, Republican,
for that purpose.
General Pershing urged that the
soldier selected be unidentified as to
rank, branch of service, or race, so

tribute to the hero, all business

on.
1T is a fitting tribute for the ma
ton to pay, not only to its unknown
dead. but to all who gave or risked
their lives in France. There has
been no national expression since
the World War to give to the pub
lie an opportunity to show appre-
citation.
"The ceremony should be as i'm
pressive as possible. even to the
disinterment and transportation OF
the body. The body should be
brought home on a battle ship, ac-
companied by detail of soldiers
under a general officer. The high

country should be present at the
interment.

Arlington for the burial place"

pressed approval of the idea. Ad-
jutant General Peter C. Harris told
the committee that ALAS soldiers
still were unidentified. Of the origi-

Minneapolis, Dec. 27.-Earl Slater.
alias w. L. McDonough, who is de-
clared by authorities to have confessed
to staying Frank L. Kelly, former state
legislator and burning his body in q
school house at Dayton station. will
be arraigned quickly on a charge OF
murder in the first degree.
This statement was made by w. a.
Blanchard, Anoka county attorney, who
said he will ask Judge J. p. Giddings
to summon a special Anoka county
grand jury to consider the case.
Slater, according to reports, wants
to dispense with a trial, if possible.
He told Mr.. Blanchard, according to
the latter, that he is anxious to plead
guilty.
Slater was brought to Minneapolis
Tuesday from Blue Earth, where ne
was arrested early Tuesday, in connec-
ton with the death of Kelly, whose
charred body was found Thursday III
the ruins Of schoolhouse near here.
Police say Slater has prison record
having served in the Iowa state penl-
tertiary in 1917, 1918, and 1919 for
engineering a Jail delivery at Daven-
port, Iowa, but this is denied by his
wife, living at Winnebago, who says she
has known him only as McDonough
and met him when he came from the
west four years ago.
On the pretense that quantity OF
LIQUOR was cached in the schoolhouse
and could be obtained and sold for
considerable profit. Slater lured Kelly
to the building, according to the alleged
confession and, after taking $50 in
cash and check for $3.50 from him
started away.
Kelly opened fire on Slater, accord
ing to- the latters alleged statement
and rushed out at him. Slater returned
the fire and Kelly was shot through
the back as he started into the schoo
house again, dying instantly.
Slater then piled shavings about the
body, the alleged confession goes on
and, sprinkling it with kerosene, ignitet
them.

Arguments For-Against
Higher Tariff; German
Pictures Feared.

Washington, Dec. 27.-The Ameri-
can people spend from $15O,OOo,OOo
to one billion year to see motion
picture shows, the senate committee
was told Tuesday in arguments for
and against high tariff on foreign
made pictures. The investment in the
industry totals about $3.50, 600, 600 and
employment is given to about 25O, 600
persons.
Mr.. Turner and John Emerson, an
independent producer of New York
speaking for himself and for d. w.
Griffith, urged a duty on imported
films of from 80 to 60 per cent ad

in the Fordney bill. They said the
industry was in bad shape, with many
studios and large number of the
$4,000 motion picture theaters over
the country closed. 49,.
Declaring that only a high tariff
stood between the industry and ex-
termination, Mr.. Turner asserted that
at this time 81 German-made pictures
were being exhibited in this country
and that four or five of these had
welded the exhibitors $500. Ameri-
can producers cannot compete with
the Germans. he said, adding that
pictures which cost from $20O,OOO to
$500, 900 to produce in this country
could be made in Germany for from
$4,000 to $4,000.

that the present rate of three cents
