MOUNT HOLLY, " J.. March 2i.
The sudden gathering Of the pros
ecuting officials. the chief OF police
OF Riverside and counsel for the
Brunen family here last night Gre
ated the impression that the arrest
Of the murderer OF Honest Jonu''
Brunen was impending. That there
is "a likelihood OF an arrest within
twenty-four hours was intimated by
Prosecutor ]. IA. Kelsey County De
tectlve Parker was non-committal
after the conference. He would only
say there was strong probability
OF definite action before many
hours

hurried movements. He declared
he had no knowledge that an arrest
was 70 be made shortly.
william Voshell. police chief OF
Riverside left the conference with
the air OF a man who had been
given a serious job 10 do. He vol
unteered the information that he
did not know why he had been sent
for. and denied he had a warrant
of arrest
The conference lasted from 8
o'clock until 7.30 o'clock and closed
a day that was replete with sensa-
tional rumor. Warrants were said
to have been Issued for various per
prosecutors Sunday and Saturday.
There were no warrants issued. so

has been said the $4,000 Insurance

That is not true. The company will

stands as il does"
The lawyer said he had not placed
any ban OF silence on the widow.

that he, Keown, had placed himself
under the orders Of the prosecutor.

j. s. OFFICIALS
BLIND TOFACTS
ABOUT MEXICO
Developments in Congress Re-
garding Oil Rings Anti
Oregon Plots Ignored.
by Universal Service.

Acting Secretary Of State Henry
p. Fletcher's attitude with regard to
recognition OF the existing Mexican
government today developed an
extraordinary situation.
A strong sentiment has grown in
both the Senate and the House for
an investigation of activities OF pow
crful oil groups that plotted to over
throw President Obregon.
1t has been shown how the oil In
terests traded on the names OF Pres
ident Harding and others OF his Ad
ministration, including MIR. Fletcher
Numerous requests, official and un'
official, have been made at the state
Department as q matter OF courtesy
by Congressional leaders In this
movement to ascertain II such an IN
vestigation might interfere with dip
lomatic negotiations between the two
countries.
Calls Situation the Same.
Mr.. Fletcher was asked II there
had been any change looking to rec
ignition of President Obregon. His
reply was that the situation was ex'
actly the same as II was last July.
when President Obregon was asked
o sign treaties.
Later in the day. MI. Fletcher
made the statement that he knew
nothing OF any desire on the part OF
Congress for an investigation OF the
oil group and their plots.
Mr.. Fletcher's attention WAS
JAILED to the use of his own name by
The oil conspirators. In one code
Mr.. FIetcher's name was given as
Right" In another, in when
President Harding's name was
Haynes" Secretary Hughes was
Hayes" Secretary Fall was
Thomas" and Mr.. Fletcher was
Forrest"
Not Greatly Concerned.
This, Mr.. Fletcher indicated, was
not a matter of great concern TO
him.
Mr.. Fletcher has been regarded as
the state Departments authority on
Latin.American affairs. The de-
partment is known TO have been ad.
vised with in connection with a com.
mission recently appointed by the
President and authorized by Con-
gress to attend the Brazilian EXPOSE
ton of Rio de Janeiro.
The head of this commission WAS
n. c. Collier, formerly OF San Diego,
Calf. Mr.. Collier for some months
prior to this appointment was rep
resentative of oil interests in Wash
ington and worked to counteract the
fleet of reports favorable to Obrc.
gon.
His appointment is said TO have
been strongly Endorsed by the State
Department.
Well informed sources here are
receiving repeated assurances that
the powerful oil group representa-.
tives are becoming desperate in their
cndeavors to block a Congressional
inquiry.
The resolution introduced by Con
gresham Tom Connally of Texas

being made the object Of one OF the
bitterest attacks ever launched by
the interests. 1t was referred to the

THE EAST is ALARMED

final discussion on the floors of the two
houses is only the staging Of the drama. One
veteran of the press gallery recently said
that, in twenty years service, he had not
seen ten votes changed on any important
measure by open discussion. When the Sen
ators and Representatives take their seats
for the presentation Of the drama their own
parts are already rehearsed and are seldom
altered by the conversation of the moment
Oratory has it's effect on the gallery but
it doesn't change any votes. This condition
is well understood by the great financial and
industrial interests of the East Give them
control of the committee and they will not
worry about the fate of any proposed legis-
lation. And this is why such furry has
been occasioned by the passing of the chair
manship of an important committee to North
Dakota
The thing really taking place is the western
trend of the control of Congress, following
the drift of population. The New England
and Middle Atlantic States find themselves
in constantly dwindling minority. Texas
has stepped into fifth place, passing Massa-
chusetts Oklahoma is one of the first division
States; while Michigan and California are
seventh and eighth, respectively. And these
estimates are made on total population, in
Guiding the millions of unnaturalized foreign
ers in the great industrial centers of the
East. If the number of seats in Congress to
which each State is entitled were based on
actual citizenship in place of on gross pop
ulation, the eastern minority would dwindle
still lower. New York. to illustrate, would
lose eight or ten seats in the House of Rep
resentatives
Western influence in the Senate was great
ly increased by the admission of the Terri
tories as States; and when Alaska is popuat-
ed and divided into four or five States that
preponderance will be still more marked.
The people of the South, the Middle West
and of the Pacific Coast are just as good
Americans, have the interests of the repub-
lie just as much at heart, as those of New
England, New York, Pennsylvania and Ohio;
and their representatives in the Senate are
just as capable of holding the chairman
ships of important committees The agricul-
tura bloc, with which Senator McCumber
occasionally votes, is but a symptom of a dis
ease in our government, that of undue in
fuence of the industrial and financial groups
of the East on Federal legislation. When that
influence disappears the agricultural bloc
will itself cease to exist.
The Columbus dispatch. (Columbus, Miss.) 19??-1922, 1922-02-26

Cries of alarm are issuing from the metro
politan press of the Atlantic Coast because
the craftsmanship of the Finance Committee
of the Senate has passed for the first time
west Of the Mississippi. BY right Of seniority
Senator McCumber of North Dakota now
holds the coveted position vacated by the
death of Senator Penrose. The financial in
terests of Wall street SILVER at the very
mention of North Dakota, and they see in the
elevation of Senator from that State to one
of the most important chairmanships in all
the Senate committees an encroachment of
radicalism.
Viewed from that angle, however, their fears
are unfounded Senator McCumber is not
and never has been a radical He has been
able to hold his seat, despite radical attacks,
and he is no more likely to be swayed by tur-
bulent influence than was his predecessor.
For the first time in generation the Atlantic
Coast is protesting against the observance of
the seniority rule in the Senate. 1t was all
very well so long as the chairmanships fell to
eastern Senators; but when one of the west
ern States kept a man in the Senate long
enough for him to rise through seniority
to the Craftsmanship Of an important COM
mittee, right then the metropolitan press be-
gan W ulSCON6T IHdL IIe SYSTEM was dill
wrong
According to the modified eastern view,
there should be a kind of civil service rule
observed in relation to important committee
appointments. No Senator should receive an
appointment on the Finance Committee until
his economic views have been investigated
and indorsed by Wall Street-such seems to
be the idea in the back of the heads of the
professionals If Senator's views shift, there
should be a consequent shifting of his COM
mittee appointments. There may be some
virtue in the contention that the peculiar
qualifications of the Senators for places on
the committees should receive more consider
alton than the length of their tenure in office.
But one must be pardoned for doubling the
immaculate purity of the motives of those
who protest against the application of the
seniority rule only when it gives coveted
seat to western Senator.
This protest acccntuates q condition in
government affairs to which The Dispatch
has before referred The most important
work of Congress is performed in committee.
II is there that the proponents and oppon-
ents of laws under consideration are heard
and where the fate of most bills is decided.
The play is written in committee and the

BE FAIR: KEEP COOL

Two gentlemen of our city nearly
came to blows, yesterday, on one of
the main streets of our city, because
they entertained different views on
who should be elected mayor of Co
lumbus.
In the South, fist fight nearly al
ways lead to a pistol fight and the.
death of one or both of the COM
battants. And very often it happens
that friends Of both parties are drawn
into the difficulty. In this way feuds
are started, and feuds sometimes last
from generation to generation.
Personally, the editor of this paper
knows who he is going to vote for
to fin the mayors chair. We cannot
vote for both men, so will make a
choice and vote for one. This is our
privilege, and the privilege of every
man and woman in our city. 1t Is
none of our business who you vote
for for mayor. any more than 1t is
our business what kind Of hat. shirt
or necktie you wear, or whether you
kiss your wife on the right check or
the left.
Let US all be broad-minded enough
10 allow each voter to decide the
matter Of the disposition of his or her
ballot as he or she sees fit Don't
get mad at the other man because
his views on city politics do not
quadratc with yours. In the next
