have contributed to the fund. This
was after Commissioner Rieden had
sent a letter to his foremen ordering
that no more funds be collected and
instructing them to return that which
already had been paid in.
Commissioner Pfeiffer when this
petition was presented, had an ordin-
ance adopted making it an offense
punishable by removal from office, for
any city official TO collect or keep
funds for a political campaign. At
the same time a resolution was adopt
ed directing the street commissioner
TO make a formal report of the
"Rieden for Reelection Club" or
ganization and operation to the city
council. He was also directed to see
that all the men received their money
back.

The tax commissioner thereupon had
adopted a resolution directing the
street commissioner, at the regular
meeting of the council to submit his
report, the resolution providing furth-
er that in the event he failed TO do
so the council would set a date for
a public hearing.
J. d. Dunsmore, treasurer of the
club stated in open council several
weeks ago that all those who had
applied for the refund Of their money
and whose names were on the list held
by him. were being paid.
In view of the action Of the grand
jury in returning the indictments
against Commissioner Rieden and
Frank Young. who was in charge of
sewer construction, the commission
may not insist on its probe of the
activities of the club, but will allow
the courts to conduct the investiga-

Washington, ID. C., March S.-The
House Commerce Committee laid on
the table today a Senate bill which
would have provided additional govern

action of the committee meant the
failure of the proposal. which he had
urged as a means of saving the road
from abandonment.
An effort will be made by Mr..
Hudspeth before adjournment tonight

pension OF the House rules. He said.

Wine Will Not Be
Mentioned.

Washington, ID. C., March s.
Plans for legislation in the next Con-

disclosed last night by Senator Edge,
Republican, New Jersey, who is pre-
pairing a bill, with such a provision
for introduction when the new Con-
gress assemblies.
The bill, Senator Edge explained,
is based on the premise that per

prescribed by the Volstead law, is
mountaineering and therefore consti-
tutional. A preliminary draft of the
measure has been made and large
amount Of supporting data has been
collected. Wine will not be coupled
with the per cent beer proposal.
