N. D. PROFESSOR
CLEARS RECORD OF
WALPOLE

St. Louis, Mo-, Dec. 30.-@Speaking
before the annual session of the Am
Historical association here to-
day, DR.. Clarence Perkins of the
University Of North Dakota defended
the reputation Of Sir Robert Walpolc
from the casual aspersions Of history.
DR.. Perkins spent the last summer in
personal research into the period of
English history in which Walpolo
lived, visiting both England and Paris
in this search.
Sir Robert>Walpole has been much
maligned as a terrible vote buyer"
DR.. Perkins told his fellow historians.
Actually, he welded" vast political
influence through a coteric Of infu-
entail friends, family connection and
power over tenants. and bought votes
only In comparatively few cases when
he was pushed to It. Voters generally
expected to be entertained lavishly in
1741 and often to be made drunk at
the expense ofreither the candidate Or
the boss. This. however. vas not re-
gardcd, as bribery. Election methods
in England became extraordinarily
corrupt only In the time OF George the
Third. just before. the time OF the
American eXolltion.'' -

Elbow Lake gold ami north OF here
is the most active since tho opening
I'D of Northern Manitoba as a mineral
belt. The action of the Hollinger
mine Of Porcupine in taking an OPP

Sales OF claims are numerous. and
the price has risen from $500 for
w~ell-located stuff to $1,000 with ready
buyers. Not since 1913. when Beaver

anything like the present activity. and
confidence prevails locally that a
small boom has started. u

ferred n small group of claims
seven miles from the Hollinger prop
critics for $4,000 cash. A local bank
er was handed $2.70o for one claim
on the north of tho big property.

missioners did to Revaluation by
authorities horizontal reductions in
property valuations prevented the
State Board of Equalization, at it's
meeting here yesterday, from max
ing final review Of the fifty odd coun-

There are some counties that have
not, as is required by law, reported
their action to the State board In a
letter written the register of deeds of
every county in the State the board
urges that all counties making hori-
zontal reductions and those making
no general reduction send in their
reports not later than June Is. On
this date the board will meet again
and do then what it expected to do
at Mondays meeting.
Commissioner A. D. Watts of the
Department of Revenue, who is chair
man of the State Board of Equaliza-
tion, is of the opinion that neither
the board nor he as commissioner can
disallow the action. taken by the
county commissioners at this time
The commissioners themselves, how
ever, seem to have authority to undo
what they have done before the re-
ports reach the State Tax Commiss-
ion.
Tar Heels who make the trip to the
Western wheat fields this summer
are going to work for a greatly re-
duced wage, according to informa-
tion furnished the Federal Employ
ment Bureau here.
The bulletin so far received points
out that 'the harvest fields do not
offer light work and the sun is often
exceedingly hot" and warns boys
and youngsters who are unacquainted
with hard work to stay at home. AS
to wages the bulletin says:
"This Office is at this time unable
to give any definite information of
the subject of wages. Last year at
this season the grain grower was
looking forward to $2.25 and $3.50
per bushel wheat, this year it looks
more like $1.00. So it goes without
saying that he cannot pay last years
wage. Wage meetings will be held in
Kansas about June 1st. and until
that time this question will have to
remain open"

NEGROES OPPOSED
FRANK A. LINNEY
There is No Certainty That Lin
ney Will Get Nomination as
District Attorney.

Washingt ton, May 17.-Because of
charges filed by negro politicians and
voters of North Carolina the senate
committe ON judiciary this morning
rejected the nomination of Frank A.
Linney to be district attorney for
the western district of the state. At
er taking this acion the committee
listened to plea by Senaor Overman,
and agreed to give Mr.. Linney a
hearing before reporting the nomina-
tion adversely to the senate.
At this hour the prospects are
gloomy for Linney's confirmation.
The Daily News correspondent is in
possession of information that the
Republican members of the commit
tee were solidly opposed to confirm
alton, that Senators Reed, Of Miss
ouri, and Walsh, Of Montana, Demo-
Gratis, joined with the majority and
only three or four Democratic mem
bers, including Senator Overman,
voted for a favorable report.
1t is also known that one Repub-
lican member of the committee as
serted he was willing to go to any
length in the senate to stop con-
frmation even if Mr.. Linney should
convert the committee-which ap-
pears improbable. This announce
ment would indicate a senate fill
buster in executive session if it be-
eomaa nanessarv
