ALIEN PROPERTY

IT is evident that some time there
will have to be a thorough in
vestigation of all the acts of the
alien property administrations, both
under the present administration
and the former democratic admin
istration. 1t is rather natural to
presume that when such property
was sold, as it often was sold, the
interests of the hostile alien owner
might suffer. He had nothing to
say about the transaction or the
price realized from the sale. What
ever none was realized from the
sale was invested in United States
bonds and held in trust for the
owner by the alien property Gus
todians until peace was declared.
Quite likely a good deal of this
property was sold at too low prices.
The alien owner of the property
would be sure to think so anyway.
Just now we are getting such pro-
tests and claims from them and in
not a few instances they say that
they were badly cheated, and that
personal pulls and graft was at the
bottom of these deals. A CORE
spondent of one of the eastern
newspapers makes this statement
which seems to fairly cover the
facts:
Enough is known by the general
public to warrant much suspicion
of what might have been expected
had an Investigation been voted. 1t
appears that, contrary to the trad
ing with the enemy act the presi-
dent was to cause a detailed re-
port to be made to congress as of
January l of each year of all pro-
ceedings under the act during the
year preceding No suehs report

MEN SEEK
SECRET Of SPOTTED
FEVER Of HAMILTON
Federal and State Health Off
Gals to Experiment
With Germ.

Helena. July 2s.-(By The Associ-
ated Press).-Half a dozen men Will
gather in a laboratory at Hamilton.
Montana, Monday.
The laboratory is maintained by
Uncle Sam. The half dozen men viii
bring to the conference all that IS
known of a disease which annually kills
more than a score of residents of
Rocky Mountain states.
The disease is spotted fever,
transmitted to human beings from
~woodticks. Eleven have died from it
in Montana this year and every year
q score or more of deaths from the
puzzling malady occur in western Mon
tana, Idaho. eastern Washington and
Oregon. parts of California, Colorado
and Utah.
Four of its victims have been mar
tyrs of science, men assigned by the
United States public health service to
the laboratory at Hamilton where the
study Of the disease and Of its source
is carried IN. One Of these deaths
occurred less than 30 days Ago..
Among the men who will gather for
the conference at Hamilton will be
DIR. l.. u. tricks, a pioneer of the
investigation work, who spent four
years in the Bitter Root valley of
Montana for the federal public health
service; DR.. T. NJ. King, who for three
years represented the United States
bureau Of entomology in western Mon
tana: DR.. W. F. Cogswell, secretary
of the state board of health: DIR. r. R.
Parker and DIR. r. r. Spencer, fed
eral public health service men who
are now carrying on the work in the
Hamilton laboratory which has claim
ed four of their fellows as victims.
Two theories have been developed
by the men who have made the study
of Rocky Mountain spotted fever"
One is that the germ is developed as
q disease of the wood tick itself. The
other is that the disease exists among
rodents or rabbits and that the wood
tick is the carrier of the germ.
The disease. which has a record of
90 per cent Of fatalities in the Bitter
Root valley of Montana. and of about
10 per cent in other parts of the
been detected. strongly resembles
typhus. Like typhus, no culture has
been found by scientists in which the
germ will grow. which has handicap
ped them in their study of it.
Investigation of the spotted fever
was begun in 1901 by DIR. A. F. Longe-
way of Great Falls. then secretary of
the state board of health. He int
rested two scientists from the Uni
versity of Minnesota, who came 10
Montana for a time. Later his success
sor. DR.. +. D. futile. now a resident
of Minnesota. aroused the interest of
the federal health service.
The meeting at Hamilton was called
by Surgeon General Hugh S. Cum
ming. head Of the United States public
health service, at the request of DR..
Cogswell. Spotted fever has been re-
~eognized as an interstate problem and
the federal service has set aside 500
900 to be used in its study in 1923.
The germ of spotted feevr was first
isolated four years ago by DR.. s. B.
Wolbach of Harvard university, who
spent three months in Montana for
the purpose.

MACHINE TRAPS EN-
Denton Farmer Gets 80 Bushels
of Insects From 25-Acre
Wheat Area

Denton. July 2S.-The farm Of L. ].
Adams. three miles from Denton. is
yielding about | 1-3 bushels of grass
hoppers to the acre, according TO a re-
port made By Mr.. Adams, who is en-
gagged in Harvesting the pests with a
new contrivance recommended by the
United States department of agricul-
ture. Mr.. Adams made six rounds in
one of his wheat fields recently. the
result being that he gathered 81 bush
els of grasshoppers from an area of
about % acres.
Here's how it's done:
The grasshopper catcher consists of
a box. Is feet long, > feet deep and
> feet wide, set on runners about S
inches above the ground. An upright
shield. covered with tin. . or 3 feet
high and running the length of the
box, extends upward from a lip cover
ing the box. leaving an opening at the
bottom of the shield and the full length
of the machine of about , inches. A
tn strip. like a cutter, IS set on the
box and slightly forward, curved in
ward. This shield, when the machine
is in motion, strikes the head of the
wheat stalk. causing the grasshoppers
to jump. The machine is propelled by
two horses, one on either end of the
box. and is sent through the field
~broadside, with the horses trotting.
When the tin shield strikes the wheat
the gr~asshoppers become bewildered
and jump-toward the upright tin
shield. They are prevented from jump
ing in n other direction, except for
ward, by the two horses. When the
rapidly moving shield strikes them they,
of course. slide down its slippery sur
face and through the small groove and
into the box.
The cost Of such a machine is said
to be about SO.

Special to The Tribune.
Miles City, July 28.-Returning here
from his ranch near Olive in the south
country, George E. Robbins, who was
accompanied by his son, DR.. F. s.
Robbins, reports that their ranch yield
ed one hundred tons Of alfalfa hay on
the first cutting, indicating, says the
senior Mr.. Robbins, that the stand was
exceptionally fine.
The second crop, he adds, will not
be cut but allowed to mature for seed
as a good growth is made and stands
thick on the ground. The field is free
from weeds. he says. He is planning
on having his alfalfa field certified.
Hundreds of grouse and sage hens
are reported by Mr.. Robbins to be seen
in the south country, which fact is also
taken as an indication Of the splendid
growing season.

fault of the present shipping board,
Senator Fletcher declared.

Senator Fletcher declared.
IF the chairman of the board, in
stead of furnishing arguments to
congressman and spending money on
a publicity campaign to persuade
the voters of the country to favor
the bill, would spend his time and
devote his energies to persuade
American ship owners that they
ought to patronize their own ship
yards; and American merchants
that they ought to give their bust
ness to American ships; and Amer
lean bankers that they ought to
encourage American shipping, that
would be much more helpful in es-
t%ablishing an American merchant
marine"
Senator Fletcher declared that
the shipping board under Chairman
Lasker's auspices had become "the
notorious resort of political place
hunters. and has been used to a dis
gushing and scandalous extent as a
political machine" In the same
breath with depreciations Of the
big American fleet under his con-
troll and pleas for its sale or dona-
ton to private interests, Chairman
Lasker is seeking to enlarge the
powers and expenditures Of the
shipping board, Senator Fletcher
showed.
Philip Manson, a practical au-
thority on the subject of shipping
has testified that the ship subsidies
advocated by President Harding
and Chairman Lasker would be ut
terly futile in creating a merchant
marine.
In testimony given before the
senate committee on commerce, Mr..
Manson said:
Il say to you that the only thing
subsidies will do will be to trans
fer from the public treasury to the
pockets of a few favored steam
ship men, some of whom have ap-
peared before the committee, large
sums Of taxpayers money, and.
what is worse. it will perpetuate
the graft and incompetence which
is now the real reason for our fail
ure to have an American merchant
marine"
Payment of subsidies to private
corporations for operating ships
would commit the taxpayers to a
costly program of indefinite con-
tinuance, Senator Fletcher said. He
dissented from the views of Pres
ident Harding and Chairman Lask-
er, who propose subventions as the
only sure means of upbuilding an
American merchant marine.
The vision of a merchant marine
coming out OF tllS Dill Is d QcCcp-
tive mirage" Senator Fletcher said
1T is a false light. It means wreck
age. The end will be what the
shipping board apparently would
enjoy as they sit in their offices
and draw their salaries, relieved of
the burden of these ships, behold
ing the American merchant marine
on their walls, painted ships on a
painted ocean,"
Edward N. Hurley, former chair
man Of the shipping board; James
A. Farrell, president of the foreign
trade council; the American Fed
Grafton of Labor, many commercial
bodies and various operators of
ships are among the individuals
and organizations that are opposing
President Harding's pet measure as
e~xtravagant and useless.

How the System Started

until now has been filed under this
section since that of February %,
1919. There had, therefore, been
nothing shown to the president or
to the American people of what had
been done by the alien property
custodians for nearly the whole
time since the war ended. This
illegal delay was of less onse-
quence than many other things in
connection with the whole mysteri-
Gus business of manipulation of
enormous ums
The report is now made public.
Says n vigorous critic: In spite
of its omissions and misleading
statements enough is disclosed to
prove that property of the nation
ais Of the countries with which the
United States was recently at war,
has been raided by attorneys with
a pull by accountants who were
able to monopolize the auditing
business and by greedy American
interests which were able to &C
quire the alleged enemy interests
at nominal prices through favor
shown to them by those in official
control as 'conservators,' by the
medium of sales. often without the
formality Of competitive bidding
Enormous fees for lawyers serv-
ices were paid. Of these President
Harding said to newspaper men:
To the man from Main street these
fees seems outrageous Special in
terests, c. e., the Du Pont dye trust
officials, brought undue influence
to bear. They have admitted their
connection with the Chemical
Foundation just now put under in
dictment by the attorney general.
"The average American is too
much worried owe his own budget
to concern himself about the ma
tional budget and to ask how many
billions Of the $22. ZOO, 900, 900 which
our country owes has been destroy
ed through graft, waste or theft.
What he sees is that taxes are not
diminishing; that social unrest and
strikes increase; that smooth words
do not butter parsnips. He sees
that, under whatever party, special
privilege for a few. and complex,
secret administration render him
virtually helpless. But when his
representatives permit a chairman
to play the autocrat and to refuse
to refer a resolution to them, when
he is so ordered by his own COM
mittee, here seems a simple matter
which even a stupid voter can see
is very vital, and even a very busy
one can see that it is something in
regard to which he is not helpless.
IF the voter this summer asks
no questions of candidates and
takes no action, he is giving notice
to all lobbyists and corrupt inter-
ests that hereafter they have only
to control a chairman of an impor-
tant committee to block any legis-
lation that they desire"
