WHEELER RESOLVED
 IN OIL SCANDALS
Senate Committee Finds He Was
 Shameless

Washington. May 15.-~Senator Bur ton K. Wheeler, democrat, Of Mon tana was wholly eXonerated in q majority report filed in the senate by Senator Borah, republican of Idaho. chairman of the special committee which investigated charges that Sen ator Wheeler accepted fee from Gordon Campbell, 2 Montana oil op- orator, to prosecute oil land claims before the interior department after his election to the senate.
 Tho vote in the committee was four to one Senators Borah and McNary republican Of Oregon, and Swanson of Virginia and Car2way of Arkansas, deomcrats, signed Inc majority report, but Senator Sterling, republican of South Dakota, reserved the right 10 submit separate views. He expects to do this within the next few days.
 The charges investigated by the committee previously had been made the basis for an indictment returned against Senator Wheeler by a federal grand jury in his home state. There wae no mention of that indictment in the report nor was there reference to the activities in Montana of Blair Coan, who testified he had been sent there by Secretary Lockwood of the republican national committee. and had gathered information which was used in obtaining the indictment against Wheeler.
 Majority Findings
 The majority report held that the committee was authorized to inquire into the sole question of whether Sem ator Wheeler agreed to receive or had in fact received money for prosecut- ing claims before a government de- partment in violation Of the statute. The majority found that he neither received nor accepted. nor agreed to receive or accept any compensation whatever directly or indirectly, for any service rendered, or 10 be ren- dered, to any person, either by him. self or another" in relation 10 any proceeding before any department Of the federal government.
 Senator Sterling. who took the lead in cross-eXamining wi'ncs~s before the committee, and he had a different conception of the functions of the committee than did the other mem- bers; that in his judgment the inves- tigators were not to undertake so pass upon other the guilt or innocence Of the senator, but to determine whether tho graW jury was justified in return ing the indictment on the evidence presented to it and whether the in- dictment was the result of q "frame-up."
 Senator Wheeler charged in tho senate on April 9, the day after the indictment was returned, that it was the utgrowth Of n "frame-up" and later witnesses were brought here from Montana to support his charge.

MUCH IMMORTALITY
 AMONG YOUNG FOLK
More Than Drinking, Bishop Tells
 House Committee

Washington, May 15.-Testimony before the house judiciary committee yesterday at hearings on pending bills to legalze 2.75 per cent beer was momentarily diverted 10 the question of present day American morals when Bishop James Cannon, Jr., Of the Methodist Episcopal church, South, told the committee he thought there was more immortality than drinking" among the younger generation.
 The bishops opinion was in reply 10 question by Representative OSul- liVan, democrat, of Connecticut, on whether he did not think there was more drinking among young men and women under prohibition.
 An alarming and incxpicable atti- tude," the bishop asserted, has de- yeloped among women toward mor- als, and things are done now which would not have been tolerated sev- eral years ago."
 French Influence
 Bishop Cannon declared the free moral life Of France" had made its impression on American morals and that the young men who served over seas during the war have been differ ent since their return. From his ob- servation when he was sent to France by the government the bishop said the country boys" were confronted with conditions of vice such as they had never seen before.
 Asked for his opinion concerning stories of high school boys carrying fiasks in their hip pockets, the bishop said there probably were exceptional cases where boys might do this out of a spirit of adventure.
 In response to questions concerning the intoxicating effect of beer. the bishop said he had been somewhat out of contact with beer drinkers since my college days" but added that some of his classmates used to get drunk enough" on beer.

PUBLIC FORUM
A Communication

We the undersigned, wish to go on
record as being opposed to the doings
of IZaak Walton League. Therefore
have banded together in defraying the
fine exacted from John Kasper The
statement that this boy was in the
habit of shooting fish is untrue and
without foundation. We understand he
was ignorant of the law, but we claim
no excuse, but think the matter might
have been handled in a different way.
We know of some of your most
noted Izaak Waltons who have broken
the fish laws in more ways than one.
Wise enough to get away with it? No.
Only none of us small enough to COM
plain.
We also wish to voice our disap-
proval of Uncle Sans buying land
along the Mississippi or any other riv-
er. II the Izaak Waltons want it let
them pay the bill. We don't belong
but pay considerable taxes.
Another gap between the city and
country people. Keep on; you will
soon have no place to fish or hunt and
the mail order houses will do big
ger business. Signed

QUESTION & ANSWER

Lancaster-Can the owner of land
adjacent to or on both sides of a
stream order a man out if he stays in
the water and does not get on the
bank?
Answer-Unless the stream is nav
igable in a legal sense the man own
ing land bordering on stream owns
to the middle of the stream. If he
owns land on both sides he owns all
the stream. The safe and decent way
is to ask permission where there are
signs posted indicating trespass is
not wanted There are very few far

tesy
