BALTIMORE. Nd. December IL
Magnus Johnson, Minnesota's dirt
farmer" senator, last night came int
| the bailiwick of William Cabell
Bruce, United States senator from
| Maryland, and assailed him as q
Hopper" and "the man who threw
the monkey wrench into congressional
, machinery"
1t was the vote of Mr. Bruce that
prevented the election of Senator
Smith, democrat, to head the inter
/ state commerce committee. This
aroused the Ire of the Minnesotan in
! his first Maryland address. He was
| heard by a crowd that filled the audi
| torium.
The crowd had come to have a look
at the much -heralded Mr.. Johnson and
| his first utterance was a request that
| they look at him and entreaty that
, they make 1t "a good look" Few in
the gathering were disappointed. The
Minnesota senator did most OF the
things expected of him, including the
shedding of his collar and tie in a
| heated moment of his discourse.
His attack on Senator Bruce was
among the few references made by
.. the Minnesota senator to current
congressional matters. His remarks
were devoted largely to the champion
ing of the farmer-labor party and its
platform. 1T was under the auspices
of the Maryland branch Of this
party, known locally as the peoples
party, that he spoke.

A part of the increased demand for
public utility stocks and bonds noted
recently is attributed in some quar-
terS to speculative interest in eco
nomics which may be effected
through a new. system of mercury

pected to result in a gain of about SO

TO RESTORE POLICE STRIKER
Bill in Bay State Legislature May
Open Way to Boston Men.

Boston, March IA legislative
committee yesterday took a step that
was said to reopen the eligibility for
reinstatement of the policemen who
went on strike in this city in Novem-
Der, 1919. After hearing arguments on
a bill to authorize reinstatement of
James F. Clark, one Of the striking
patrolmen, who while member of
the force was wounded in pursuit of
blackhand criminals, the committee
in executive session voted s to Z, to
report the bill favorably to the House.
The hearing was marked by the
assertion of Representative John l..
Fitzgerald of this city that the late
Police Commissioner, Edwin L. Gus
tbs, was misled by several superior Of
ficers in his estimate of the situation
at the time of the strike and that he
had intended to hold hearing on this
phase of the question before he died.
Representative Clarity, a former
policeman, who went on strike. said
the men should not have gone out on
strike, but added that 1t was unjust to
further penalize men like Clark.
John H. Merrick, Secretary to Po-
lice Commissioner Wilson, in opposing
the bill, said: ITO pass this bill would
