Picking of Dutch
Minister Not Easy
Selection of a New Dutch Minister at
Washington Is Difficult Task
for HOllanders.

Geneva.-Two Swiss judges of the
cantonal tribunal at Zurich have just
been read out of the Swiss communist
party for having sentenced q socialist
workman to ten days in Jail for as
saulting an unsyndicated worker in
strike at Zurich. The judges, DR.. Bal
siger and Luchinger, were summoned
to appear before the socialist commu-
mist committee on d charge that the
verdict was incompatible with the
communist doctrine" When the judg-
es refused to appear, they were
promptly ousted from the party.
Writing in the Volksrecht Journal,
the judges declare that though they
are socialists and demand liberty they
judge according to their conscience
and law without regard to outside po-
litical pressure. Many papers com
menting on the incident state that this
should be an example to Swiss voters
of what the result would be if, COM
munists who received their orders
from Moscow were to come into power
in Switzerland. The agrarian parties
of several cantons have made a pro
posal that all communist employees
should be dismissed as a danger to the
state.

Lenroot Urges Private
Handling of Credits

Washington.-Irvin L. Lenroot, u
S. senator from Wisconsin, and chair
man of the senate committee on rail
roads, in statement today discussing
the country's foreign trade, declared
that the establishment of foreign
credits should no longer be handled
directly by the government He char
acterized the question of foreign
credits as being absolutely vital to
our prosperity" and of great impor-
lance to farmers. "The proposed for
eign trade financing corporation now
being organized by a large group Of
bankers and business men throughout
the country has my heartiest APPROX
al" he said. 1.-THE names of the COM
mittee on organization are the highest
guarantee of its stability and purpose.
The question of establishing foreign
credits in this country is absolutely
vital to our prosperity for obvious rea-
sons. The government itself should no
longer undertake such establishment
directly. The proposed corporation
would materially assist in establishing
such credits along safe, conservative,
business lines. 1t would be of great
value to our agricultural interests and
to ali our producers seeking a foreign
market for their surplus products"

FISHING PARTY
COMES TO GRIEF
Excitement Features OBJ
servance of Easter at
Pike River.
OFFICERS USE GUNS

This is the story of an Easter fishing
party and story which goes to prove
that all Of the suckers are not in Pike
river.
Three Mount Pleasant >men-Matt
Miller, Frank Fonk and Emil Worster-
went fishing out at Petrifying Springs
Sunday afternoon and according to
game wardens Emil Fox and Ray Me
Neill they were either hopelessly. ig4
norant or thoroughly without respect
IN regard to laws of the state relative
to getting suckers. 1t is alleged that
they were SEEMING in the creek and
that they had taken one sucker from
his cool water bed before they were
discovered by the wardens.
Then came action and it came fast
and furious. Fox and McNeill went
after the alleged violators of the law
and the alleged violators made a run
for freedom and Ford automobile
which had been concealed along the
bed of the creek. 1t was a chase over
the ravines in the neighborhood. Fox
caught one of the men and was forcing
him to run along with him in an effort
to get the other two. Mcneil was the
best runner and he was closing down
on the other two when he got a signal
from behind to "halt."
Faces Gun of Fellow Officer.
Sure, Mcneil halted, and taking his
mind off the men he was looking for,
he turned around to find his fellow
officer, Fox, with a deadly weapon
pointed at him and nervously lingering
the trigger-fnger. Just what Mcneil
said to Fox is not contained in the rec
ords, but in the time lost the men
sought made their escape.
Then Fox and McNeill found broth
er of Fonk and young lady standing
along the ravine. Gust out picking
May flowers" the young woman ex-
planned, but Fox decided that Fonk and
the young lady were the guards for the
tlshing party and he promptly told
them that they would be held as wit
nesses and brought to town. They de-
cided to talk and told who the other
fellows were. Fox and McNeill took
their speeders and got over to the
Miller home just as Miller was driving
into the yard. Three shots were fired
by Deputy McNeill in the chase for the
fishermen.
Miller for Discretion.
Miller was all for discretion, being
the better part of valor, when the off,
GERS got him and he revealed the
names of his companions on the fish
ing party, They were all in court this
morning and entered pleas of guilty
to violating the game laws. Fines of
$50 and the costs were assessed in each
case.
There may be a sucker born every
minute and two to catch him, but the
fellows who do the catching are the
biggest suckers" was the comment of
one OF the men as he fattened up the
courts treasury.
Harry Arenback, Racine man who
was out hunting with last years IL
cense, also said guilty" to the Judge
and he was assessed fine of $50 and
costs. All fines were paid.
