much in evidence they could have
told us more about how good barbe-
cue really is.

Mrs. Olesen Sets
Pace in Campaign
for u. S. Senate
(By Associates Presal

St. Paul, Mimi, Sept. 2O.-What-
ever else she may accomplish in her
campaign for the United States SEN
atorship, Mrs. Anna D. Olesen, dem
ocratic dominee, will be well known
to Minnesota at large when the No
vember election day rolls around.
Easily the pacemaker in the three
cornered contest for the office now
held by Frank B. Kellogg, Minneso-
ta's junior senator, Mrs. Olesen has
just entered on the second phase of
her campaign, which will not end un-
til the day before election.
For six weeks she travelled over
the state in small automobile, do
mated by friends, and now after a
rest, she again has take nto the high
ways for further intensive campaign
ing.
During the first six weeks of her
campaign for the fall election-she
also campaigned before the June IS
primary-she visited ninety-five
small cities and towns in forty coun-
Z ties, delivering an address in each
municipality.
On this extensive trip she covered
more than 5000 miles. She was ac-
companied by her husband, Peter
Olesen, superintendent of Cloquet
city schools, and her 14-year-old
daughter, Mary, who alternated at
the wheel
Mrs. Olesen is enthusiastic over
the reception she has received. When
she started out she told the Associat-
ed Press she thought she would "Be
doing we'll if she talked to fifty peo-
pie at each meeting" Instead, she
has been heard by crowds many
times that number, some of them
turning out early in the morning or
meeting her late at night.

REVENUE OFFICER
HAS LEGAL RIGHT
To EXAMINE. BANK
Investigation of Mans
Account for Income
Entirely Legal

Jacksonville, Sept. 2O.-That an in
ternal revenue inspector has the
right oexamine personal accounts
kept in banks, was the decision rem
dered yesterday in the United States
court, here, by Judge William B.
Sheppard, of Pensacola,
The hearing of the case, in re Bank
of Bay Biscayne of Miami ct al,
came up for hearing on Monday,
and was concluded yesterday morn
ing, when Judge Sheppard rendered
his decision. The case is one of un-
usual and general interest.
Recently D. J. Delorey, an internal
revenue inspector out of Washington,
D. c., office, while engaged in look
ing up income tax returns made by
citizens. of Miami and Dade county,
called at the banks in Miami with the
request to be permitted to see the
books. and the accounts of certain
customers and depositors in order to
check up the returns made by them
to the government. The requests
were denied on the ground, it was
said, that the banks considered this
to be an unlawful search and equiva-
lent TO a seizure.
Inspector Delorey took up the mat
ter with the office of the district at
torney of the federal court, and a
hearing was ordered with a large
number of witnesses being summoned
to appear.
The court in its decision yesterday
held that the inspector had a perfect
rigth to request to be shown the
books and accounts of the banks, and
ordered that the banks comply with
said requests.
The banks were represented by an
array of legal talent, the case for the
government being conducted by Far-
ry W. Reinstine, special assistant
district attorney.

GENEROUS WEST
IS TURNING ITS
LABOR TO RELIEF
Bodies of Miners Are
Being Taken From
Argonaut

Jackson, Cal, Sept. 20.-While the
mine rescue crew continued to bring
bodies to the surface today from the
Argonaut mine the west turned its
attention to relieving the plight OF
the families and dependents of the
forty-seven men who died after being
imprisoned by fire far below the gold
workings. Compensation checks and
funds realized from prize fights, the
ater benefit performances are al
ready pouring in.
A coroner's jury will be sworn in
| by Mrs. Lola Potter, the coroner, to
| view the ill-fated miners. An in,
| quest probably will be held Thursday
1t is not expected the responsibility
for the disaster will be fixed The
bodies were conveyed to building
on the Argonaut property, mile
from the Kennedy shaft, and placed
in coffins,
Persons without passes or business
at the Kennedy mine were ordered
off the property and there was no
demonstration when the rescue crews
appeared at the collar of the Ken
nedy shaft with their human bur
dens. Red Cross workers remained
at the homes of the widows and Or
phans of the dead, making arrange
ments for their immediate care and
the funerals.
District Attorney Neerich, of ANA
dor county, is expected to question
the witnesses at the inquest, includ-
ing the engineer on duty at the Ar
gonaut before the fire started ana
the engineer who was on duty when
the fire was discovered.
A check of the names of the dead
showed seven were American born,
twenty in Italy, thirteen in Jugo-
Slavia, and four were of Spanish or
Mexican ancestry. Others could not
be checked,
The state compensation fund is eX-
pected to pay about 100000 to the
dependents of the mine disaster. In
addition the state allows 500 for
each burial and the Argonaut COM
pany has added $25 in each case
E. A. Stent, vice president of the
Argonaut company, said he felt the
fire was unavoidable and his COM
pany had done everything possible to
rescue the men. He declared ne
would welcome an official investiga-
tion.

Nby ASsOclaUeO @EeSBb
Washington, Sept. 20.-The SOL
die rbonus bill, vetoed yesterday by
the president, will be started today
on it's second voyage through con-
gress. Favorable action by the house
is looked for generally, but friends
of the measure doubted they could
muster in the senate the necessary
two-thirds majority to override the
veto.
The plan is to call the bill up in
the house this afternono and have
the roll called after an hour or two
of debate. The time of the senate's
action is indefinite. Some favored a
final test of strength Immediately
after the house voted, but others
have counseled delay until tomorrow.
The executives action was regard
ed generally in Washington as max
ing improbably a bonus for the world
war veterans, at least for some time
to come, as it appeared to be almost
certain that the veto would be sus-
tanned by the senate. A vote in the
house was planned for tomorrow with
senate action to follow later in the
day or on Thursday.
Mr.. Harding set forth a number of
reasons'f0r returning the bill to the
house without his approval. These
included:
Failure of congress to provide a
means of financing.
That inevitably the bonus would
mean increased taxation.
Tha tthe legislation would wipe
out everything thus far accomplish
ed to reduce government expendi-
lures wherever possible.
That peace bestowed on the ex-
Service men was "a pervarsion of
public funds" and suggested chat
future defense is to be inspired by
compensation, rather than conscious
ness of duty to flag and country"
That to add One-sixth of the total
sum 70 the public debt for distribu-
ton among less than 100000 of
11O,OOO,O00 people, would undermine
confidence on which the nations
credit was builded, and establish the
precedent of distributing public funds
whenever the proposal and the num-
bers affected make it seem political
ly appealing to do So"
That the $1O,0OO,OOO,O0O of matur-
ing public debt in the next six years
would be difficult to meet without
adding the complication of added
borrowings on account of a bonus.
That the adjusted certificate plan
of payment with its bank and gov
ernment loans was little less than a
certified inability of the government
to pay and practice of sacrifieiaI
barter" by the veterans.
That the bonus would, not diminish
the latter obligation in the way of
pensions to the world war veterans.
Asserting that this obligation
would "eost more billions than I
venture to suggest the president
