POLICE WORK ON
 LATEST FLOGGING
FlythstrOm Gives Little Aid In
 Search For Assailants

A thorough investigation of the al leged flogging of August Flythstrom, 502 Sixteenth street, north, who was abducted by three uRtnown men We'd nesday, was promised by police authori- ties Friday.
 Police Chief McDuff, whose atten- ton was first called to the incident by the story in Fridays Age Herald, imme- diately dispatched T. N. Williamson, city detective, to Richter's tailor shop, 19121a Morris avenue, the scene of the abduction.
 Williamson spent over aif hour going over details. besides making an exam ination of FlythstrOm's injuries.
 Tt was flogging, all right he said, following his investigation, but so far we haven't very much to work on.'
 Although Flythstrom was still at liberty Friday night, the charges that he assaulted Hugo Salmi, 511 Twenty first street, north, were still being held by police, and his arrest is expected at any time.
 Salmi's story to detectives Thursday night after the alleged altercation be- tween the pair was that FlythstrOm at tacked him with a pair of shears. The injured man is now at the Hillman hos pital, where his condition is reported to be good.
 FlythstrOm said Friday that Salmi and he were the best of friends, and that the gash was received by falling on the shears.

 Freed Of Faint RUMORS IN CAPITAL
 STARTLE OBSERVERS What Is Use Of Probe? Is Question, If Guilty May Escape 
- sy RAymoMp s.. ND eLAerrss

(Copytoh, t92A, fer The Ane.Hefnta) WASHINGTON, Feb. D. More scandals will be ripped open before the present rampage in Congress is over. If there is one half of one per cent of truth in some of the rumors which are floating around in the capital, the re vealations in the oil scandal thus far will be pale by comparison with what is to come.
 that Senator Lenroot, chairman of the oil investigation committee, rose on the Senate floor Friday and said: Tt is time right now to house-clean the whole government. The Senate ought to create a committee with pow CTS broad enough to investigate every down every story of corruption that is heard. We ran down many such stories before the oil committee and found some of them were true"
 Lenro0t No Firebrand
 Lenroot is no firebrand. He was one of the senators who conferred se- cretly with Fall in advance of the latter's appearance before the oil com mittee and he has been charged with being a little hesitant in pushing the inquiry. So his declaration carries all the more weight in this instance.
 On top of this suggestion, came the announcement that the oil committee has subpoenaed every person mention ed in the Mclean telegrams which have revealed an amazing story of wire pulling and intrigue conducted for the purpose of hamstringing Senator Walsh in his efforts to get to the bottom of oil scandal, an effort (which, happily for the cause of decent government, did not succeed.
 Congress is now being driven by the lash of an aroused public sentiment which will not permit a let-up until the money-changers have been driven out of Washington. 1 The public doesn't know half of the | dirt which still lies unpublished in the l veterans bureau scandal for. which Charles R. Forbes, the former director has just been indicted. The Chicago lipiictment hfets vaguely at certain con ldftfphs involving E0vefnmeIit oflicials land two members of g0ngtess. There lis an angle involving senators whicl has not been touched on publicly. Thef there is talk of woman in the case and there are indications that through her intimate personal relations with certain officials she was able to pull wires in the veterans bureau. The de tails of this situation. if the gossiT prevailing here is correct, would astounC the country.
 What Is Good Of It All?
 "What is the good of 1t all? i. the question being asked by many. Ii the only result is to besmirch reputa tions all agree that the matter might be permitted to stop where it is. But there are some senators--ant congressmen-who believe that at last the opportunity has come to drag Ou into the open and destroy that furtive invisible government of which so mucl has been said and 50 little proven
