SUCCESS FACES SHIPSTEAD
From Brooten in Sixth District Childe
Harold Is Considered Impossible

Congressman Harold Knutson ha.
the supreme effrontery to ask thu
people of the Sixth district to return
him to Congress. To those who are
familiar with Knutson's record, sucf
result seems out of the question
II the people of his district could
know what this gentleman has beer
doing in Washington during the last
eight years, he would not get a hat
full OF votes on election day.
At home, Knutson insists he Is
Progressive. In Washington he
acted as whip" for the Old Guard
machine in the House until even
the machine leaders decided that
he was a liability they could not
afford to carry.
He has always professed his
friendship for the railroad workers
and has boosted that they support
ed him in every campaign. But he
betrayed them when the Howell
Barley bill was being pushed
through Congress.
He is strong" for the farmers in
campaign time, but he has not raised
his hand to help them in Washing
ton. Instead, he voted to adjourn
Congress on June 6 in order that he
and his associates might have a va
cation while the farmers were clam
oring for relief legislation.
Fortunately, Knutson has a real
opponent in this election.
The Farmer-Labor party has NOM
mated DR.. Samuel c. Shipstead, of
Brooten, brother of Senator Ship
stead
AS an evidence of what the home
folks think of Shipstead, a few days
before the recent primaries, the
people of that town declared a pub
lie holiday, closed all the business
places and, accompanied by their
splendid band, toured every city and
village in the county of Stearns,
whooping it up for Shipstead.
Like his distinguished brother,
Shipstead is a dentist, but he is
also student of political economy
and for years has taken an active
part in public affairs.
He was mayor of Brooten in 1917

LIQUOR CLEANUP, BUT
NO ONE PROSECUTED

WASHINGTON. May 13.-When
the Harding administration took Of
rice in 1921, prohibition agents were
engaged in Cleaning up the liquor
situation in Washington" the sem
ate Daugherty committee was told
today, but 81 persons and places
purveying intoxicants all escaped
prosecution.
H. J. Burton, former agent for
the prohibition unit, but now in the
service of the governor of Ohio, tes-
titled that he was one of the men as
signed to the work late in February,
1921, a few days before the inaugu-
ration. With five associates and the
local police, he made the arrests, he
said, and served the warrants on
''bootleggers operating mainly
through the hotels" All the cases
were good enough for conviction.
Burton asserted, but the persons ar
rested were allowed to forfeit small
bonds, and in some cases to return
to their occupations undisturbed.

No quorum appearing, Senator
Spencer turned to another line of
questioning.
Mr.. Spencer said it was his pur-
pose to show that the facilities of
the interior department to handle
the reserves was so much better
than those of the navy department
as to warrant their transfer.
Senator Walsh, the prosecutor Of
the committee, protested against
some of the questions asked Finney
and there was another hot argument
with Senator Spencer insisting he
should be permitted TO conduct the
examination without interruption.

Local Police

TRENTON, May 13-United States
Marshal Mulheron today detailed a
squad of deputies to serve warrants
on alleged prohibition violators in
New Brunswick and other parts of
Middlesex county. The officers left
here this morning and will likely be
kept busy for two days.
New Campaign Here
Liquor. law violators in thN city
have something to worry about as a
result of the new campaign started
by CHIEF Niels ]. Tonnesen of the
local police department.
On Sunday the local police made
seizures in seven places and several
others were visited, but as there was
no liquor in sight, no evidence was
taken. Oficers Frank Burke and
Henry Zanzalari were detailed on
special duty for several shotrrs Sun
day night purposely for making the
liquor visits. Sergeant John Larson
made the first raid early Sunday
morning.
A representative of Director
Adrian Chamberlain's office in New
ark came to local police headquar-
ters this morning and received the
LIQUOR seized by the local authorities
in their Sunday raids. 1t is the gen.
eral custom for the prohibition men
to wait for a week or two. make
further raids at the same, places and
then have the United States mar
shals come down to make the ar
rests.
Every one of the places visited by
the two specially detailed officers on
Sunday have previous records as FAR
as raids are concerned. Previous
raids were made by the local police,
county detectives or the prohibition
men. Chief Tonnesen has intimated
that he will take up with Director
Chamberlain the matter of obtaining
padlocks for number of local sa-
looms.
The activity of Chief Tonnesen's
men is expected to cause detectives
of the prosecutors office and mem
hers of Director Chamberlain's staff
to get busy again in this city. Not
so long ago the prohibition men es-
tablished a new record in this city
as far as total raids in a month were
concerned.
Chief Tonnesen is we'll pleased
with the results obtained from the
new custom of turning liquor seized
by his men over to the prohibition
office and following Sundays work
he made known that these raids
will continue as long as complaints
are received. 1t was pointed out not
so long gago that there are more
drunks being arrested in this city
today than before the prohibition
laws were put through.
The police head has the co-opera-
ton of all the members of his de-
partment in the new drive and some
interesting results are looked for.
The chief is out TO check all viola
tions at this time and intends to fol-
low up his work.

ROOSEVELT IN
OIL CASE PROBE
Assistant Navy Secretary Is
Called Before Grand Jury
Investigating Scandal

WASHINGTON, May 13:-Theo-
dore Roosevelt, assistant secretary
of the navy, and Rear Admiral r.
s. Griffin, retired, were the chief
witnesses today as the special fed
eral grand jury resumed its inquiry
into charges of fraud and corruption
in connection with the naval oil
leases.
Assistant Secretary Roosevelt car
ried to the White House for Presi-
dent Harding's signature the famous
executive order of May 81. 1921, un-
der which Secretary Fall took over
control of the naval oil reserves and
leased them to Harry F. Sinclair and
Edward l.. Doheny. Also at the re-
quest of Fall, Roosevelt sent marines
to Teapot Dome in the summer OF
1922 to drive off squatters, after
that reserve had been taken over by
Sinclair.
Admiral Griffin, formerly chief of
the Bureau of Engineers, was in
charge of the reserves for number
Of years and was one of the naval
officers who protested vigorously to
Secretary DENLY against their trans
fer to the Interior Department. He
sought to amend the original draft
of the executive order so as to leave
control with the navy, but testified
before the senate oil committee that
an amendment he had written into
the order was completely changed
in the interior department.
Roosevelt also suggested changes
in the original draft and since the
resignation of DENLY has stated that
he opposed the transfer from the
first, but kept silent because he did
not want to be put in the position
of running out" on his chief.

Session at Trenton

TRENTON, May 13:-On the
Recommendation of State Highway
Commissioner Abraham Jelin the
State Highway Commission in ses-
sion here today voted to give the
Middlesex County Board of Free
holders $140,000 out of their allot-
ment for 1924. The recommenda-
ton was made by Commissioner
Jelin after the freeholders had ap-
peared before the commission and
requested s14S.0OO with which to
put the Middlesex county roads in
condition.
In order to obtain the $4,000
for use on the Middlesex county
roads the freeholders agreed to per-
init state road inspector to come
into the county and see that the
roads and work on which the money
Is to be spent are properly done.
State Highway Engineer Sloan and
Assistant Engineer Reed will make
o study of the Middlesex county road
problem in order to see that the
money is spent to the best advan-
tage.
The county had seventeen roads
IN the original program for this
year, but 1t was understood that
only certain ones would be repaired
at this time.
When the freeholders appeared
before the commission they were in
formed that the commissioners are
anxious to have the roads repaired
on a more satisfactory basis and
this had not been done by the coun-
ty, and they were informed that
certain roads would have to be
neglected.
The freeholders declared they had
appropriated $125,00O for road
work and asked sne state to go
along with them and appropriate
$4,000 which would be addeI to
the $125,000 appropriated by the
freeholders. They promised also
that in the next budget more money
would be set aside for road i'm
provement. missioner Jelin
thought it would be advisable for
the commission to go along with the
Middlestx county freeholders this
year and his suggestion was fol-
| lowed.
County Solicitor Frederick Rich
hrdson praised the work of the high
WAY commissioners and declared the
county had great respect for the
commissions engineers. He said that
while some mistakes had probably
been made by the county in road
work in the past, he thought these
could be eliminated in the future.

CALL BUTLER AND HADLEY
DRY NULu|F|CATONISTS

CHICAGO, May 13:-Dr. Nicholas
Murray Butler of Columbia Univer-
sity and DIR. Arthur T. Hadley, for
mer presidI mt of Yale, were placed
in the class of prohibition nullifica-
tionists rather than modificationists
by Z. r. Shaw, former executive
secretary of the intercollegiate Pro-
hibition Association in open letters
made public today.
He charged DIR. Butler with incon-
sistency. attributing to him the
statement that IT shall obey these
laws so long as they remain on the
statute books; but like Lincoln, l
shall not rest until they are repeal
ed" and then quoted him as having
been reported later as saying before
the Ohio Bar Association:
Suppose that the state has ex-
ceeded its rights by prohibiting some
harmless act. such as the consump-
tion of alcohol? Is smuggling in
such case morally justifiable? /
shall say yes. The interference of
the state is a mere impertinence."
To DR.. Hadley Mr.. Shaw wrote,
quoting him as having written that
there are times when notification,
rather than enforced obedience, may
be the safer and more practical
remedy for laws unwisely conceived
or prematurely adopted" that these
words placed the author in the list
of avowed nullificationists" of pro-
hibition.
