notably the coal and iron industrie%,
as result of the British dock work

known such prospe rity. For the last

streaming overseas By way of Rot

industrial lnaguatc arc understood to
be full OF orders from foreign firms.
For example, big steel order re

drizzling rain, but the skies cleared
off during the last three innings and
there were thrills galore, when after
bad start, with the Indians in the
lead by seven runs, the Grangeville
bunch began crawling up until the
seventh when they tied the score, only
to see the Reds pound in two runs in
the last half of the ninth and grab
the game.
The hoodoo visited third sack early
in the game and lowered over it until
the Indians had amassed their lead
of seven, and came back in the last
half and got in the dirty work that
lost the game. Other errors were few
and far between, but one by Derrig
in the box in the first of the game, and
a bad throw by Dale Eimers, catcher,
to first in the last inning, both contri
buted to the Indians lead in the first
instance, and their victory in the last.
There were some splendid outield
catches, and some batting rallies that
had the Indian fans yelling to the UNI

rain, while their home team was still
in the lead. The loss of the game.
after the bad start and the tieing of
the score, was disappointment to the

'FRAME-UP' LETTER
 CITED BY WHEELER
G. o. P. Committeeman Sub
 pOenaed By Investigators

WASHINGTON. April 21.-Dr, o. NJ. LanstrOm, newly elected republican national committeeman from Montana. and Charles Reifenrath, manager of t1e Helena Record, are to be subpOenaed by the special Senate committee investi- gating the indictment of Senator Wheeler, democrat. Montana, by a fed eral grand jury in his home state.
 They are to be questioned on the basis of information contained in a letter which has come into the possession of the committee and which is described by .ienator Wheeler as tending to support lis charge of a ''frame-up' and as a result of his activities in the DaW gherty case.
 The letter. written by S. c. Ford. a republican and former attorney general of Montana, to former Representative Tom Stout of that state. is withheld, at least for the present. Senator Wheeler and advisers take the position that the facts should be developed by the com mittee.
 Subpoenas have been issued for other Montana men, including three members of the grand jury which voted the in- dictment. It is indicated that the jurors will be questioned about reports which have reached Washington that several ballots were taken before the indictment was returned.
 Blair Coan, an agent of the republican national committee, who was active in an investigation in Montana before the indictment was returned, is now here, but because of the failure of other wit nesses to reach Washington the meeting of the committee scheduled for today was postponed.
