Texas Member
OF House Faints
When Ce,lsured
Reprimand Resolution Passed
By Overwhelming Ballot
After Mondell Resolution
To Expel Defeated.

Washington, Oct. 27.-The house
Of representatives today voted to cen
sure and to direct the speaker to
reprimand publicly Representative
Rlanton, democrat Texas, after 9
resolution to expel Mr.. Blanton had
failed by the narrow margin of eight
votes.
The vote on the resolution was 203
for expulsion and ll3 against and
one voting present This lacked
eight votes of the necessary two
thirds to expel the Texan.
Couldn't Condone Action.
Representative Garrett, the demo-
cratic leader, declared he could not
and would not excuse or condone the
action of Mr.. Blanton in causing
offensive language to be published in
the record, although he did not think
it warranted expulsion.
,"The offense, however" he added,
deserves the most severe rebuke
and censure the house can impose"
There was surprise on the floor
when Representative Graham, re-
publican, Pennsylvania, spoke against
expulsion. He declared there was
not a man in the house who be-
lieved Blanton put objectionable
words in the record to be "blas-
phemous or obscene. He asserted
the Texan "was fighting an evil'
with seal that makes a bigot."
Balance Swung.
The balance was swung about a
moment later when Representative
Bourke Cochran, democrat, New
York, urged adoption of the expul-
sion resolution.
When it was apparent the resolu-
ton of censure would be adopted
by wide margin. Speaker Gillett an
nounced that he would reprimand|
Blanton before his colleagues inn
mediately after the completion Of
the vote.
Representative Blanton was then
taken before the bar of the house BY
the sergeant-at-arms and publicly
censured and reprimanded by Speaker
Gillett. There were few Kisses
from the republican side.
Speaker Gillett censured Blanton,
whowalked from the floor and faint

Both Factions
Predict Victory
In Dakota Recall
Party Lines Submerged in
Fight Between Nonpartisan
League. and Independent
Voters Association.

Fargo, N. D, Oct. 27.-North Da-
skota's wafniest political campaign
in years closed today in cold
drizzle, with prospects that heavy
roads might decrease the vote in
tomorrow's recall election.
From both the Nonpartisan league
and independent factions came pre-
dictions of victory, the leaguers FORE
casting an Overwhelming victory"
for Governor Lynn ]. Frazier and
two other league-affiliated officials,
and the independents predicting ma
jorities of from 10000 to $4,000
votes.
Party lines have been submerged
and the election, brought on petit
tions circulated by the Independent
Voters association, comprising all
anti-nonpartisan league factions, is
on the out and out issue OF the
league.
The three Nonpartisan endorsed
officials against whom the recall is
aimed are Governor Lynn ]. Frazier,
William Lemke, attorney general
and acknowledged leader of the
league forces in the state, and ]. N.
Hagan, commissioner of labor and
agriculture.
Opposing these officials, the In
dependents have placed these candi-
dates in the field: R. A. Nestos Of
Minot. an attorney, for governor;
Sveinbjorn Johnson of Grand Forks,
an attorney, for attorney general,
and Joseph A. Kitchen of Sentinel
Butte, farmer, for commissioner OF
labor and agriculture.
The political complexion of the re-
call ticket on old party lines is
shown in that Mr.. Nestos is chair
man of the North Dakota republic
an committee and Mr.. johnson is
chairman OF the democratic state cen-
trail committee. Mr.. Kitchen is the
leader of the anti-league forces in
the league strongholds west of the
Missouri river
While the attempt to recall three
state officials is considered the pri-
mary object OF the election, group
of proposed laws also will be sub
mitted to the voters as initiated mea-
sures. One OF these would do away
entirely with party designations in
the election of all state officials ex-
cept senators and representatives in
congress.

The battle took place when the
deputies surprised the men trying tc

George Lueke store, go Sixteenth
avenue, Council Bluffs.
Two men were at the shed, two
men at the garage, and two men al
the rear door of the store. As
Blankenship tinkered with the lock
or the door, his companion touched
his sleeve, according to- the deputies
who were in hiding, and warned
him: "Sssh!."
Blankenship whirled, say the depu-
ties, jerking two revolvers, one in
each hand, from his rip pockets.
This action of the two-gun man
drew immediate fire from the shot.

Bfankenship fell, mortally wound

have discovered the body of the
priest.
Lead, S. D., Oct. N.-A new
angle to the murder Of Father A. B.
Belknap developed here today when
Arthur Miller, assistant night fore
man of the Homestake Mining COM
pany, told the police he had met the
priest while the latter was on his
way to answer the supposed sick
call which sent Father Belknap to
his death at the hands of an assassin
yesterday morning.
Miller is the only man known to
have seen the priest after the latter
left Bishop Lawler's residence.
Miller told the police he had just
got off his shift at the mine and
was walking to his home in Bender
park, about quarter of mile from
the scene of murder when he was
passed on Main street by man
walking very fast. Miller said he
followed along after the man and
after he. had gone two or three
blocks the man waited for Miller
and introduced himslef as Father
Belknap. The priest was alone, ac-
cording to Miller. Miller said the
priest told him he was on his way
to answer sick call. The priest
asked Miller, the latter told the po-
lice, where a certain family lived in
Render park, suburb of Lead, tell
ing Miller he thought their residence
was near the oil tanks of the Stand
ard Oil company, near the city
limits.
Gives, Instructions.
Miller said he accompanied the
priest to a point near where Father
Belknap waS going, gave him in-
structions how to reach the home,
and bade him goodnight. The spot
where Miller left the priest, he said,
was at the top of the hill leading
down to small settlement known
as Poor Mans Gulch." The
priests body was found near this
place.
Miller told the police that after
leaving Father Belknap he went to
his own home and retired. He said
he did not hear the shots which pre-
ceded the death Of the priest.
Questioned by Deputy Sheriff
Warren Owen, Miller said he could
not remember the name of the man
whom Father Belknap had told him
had come to the bishops home and
asked the priest to make the sick
call.
Attempt to Steal Auto.
Miller said that before he parted
company with the priest, Father
Belknap told him someon had at
tempted to steal his automobile dur
ing the night. The priest said he
had heard some one in his garage,
according to Miller, and declared
when he attempted to start the ma
chine for the journey to the sick
mans home the car would not work.
The priest explained, Miller said,
that he had therefore, been COM
PEELED to make the journey on foot.

Auditor Opposes
Trip to New York
0fCapitol Board
Marsh Declares He Will Seek
Authority to Prevent State
Paying Expenses Of r
Commission.

LINCOLN. Oct 7-lSpecial.) 1.-The
old row between constitutional Off
GERS and the state administration
broke out here again today when
George Marsh, state auditor, called
newspapermen in his Office and an
nounced that he was opposed to the
proposed trip of the state capitol
commission to New York to examine
final plans Of the architect for the
new $5,0O0,0O0 Nebraska state house.
Marsh declared this was "junket-
ing" trip, which would do the state
no particular good and declared the
architect could come to Lincoln with
the plans for examination much
cheaper than the commission could
60 to New York.
Made Trip Of Own.
Marsh declared he intended to
consult counsel to ascertain whether
he could legally turn down expense
warrants for the proposed trip.
Marsh admitted his official skirts
were not entirely clear of personal
junketing expeditions. He was asked
if he didn't go to Montana at the
states expense last summer to at
tend the national convention Of state
auditors.
"Yes," he replied.
"How much did it cost the state"
From SIS to $lOO."
do you think the trip did the
state any good?"
II don't know"
Junket Is Postponed.
The trip will be postponed from
the original date because Of the i'll
ness of Architect Goodhue.
Ever since the governor initiated
the code department and stripped the
auditor and other constitutional Off
GERS of some of their former power,
public statements by certain of the
constitutional officers derogatory to
the state administration have been a
common occurrence.
Governor Mckelvie declined to
discuss the attack today, saying any
statement would come from the cap
itol commission as a whole.
