LARGE DANCE PLATFORM
is DAMAGED BY BIG FIRE

SOUTH AMBOY. Nov. 6-The
spacious dance platform in Saint
Mary's school park. was badly dam
aged by fire last night shortly after
nine o'clock and the fire department
had to be called out to save the entire
structure. Chemicals were used to
an advantage and the fire was soon
extinguished. but not before 1t had
done considerable damage.
An investigation by the police
failed to determine the origin of the
fire. A lighted cigarette may have
been responsible for the fire. as the
platform was almost covered with
fallen leaves. The dryness of the
wood helped the flames along.

STATE SUES RAIL-
ROAD FOR SLEEP
ING CAR TAX
Attorney General Files Suit to Collect
$4,000 From Three Lines on
Licenses

Suit to collect an aggregate of $35,
600, plus interest, has been filed by
Attorney General Rankin against the
Northern Pacific, the Chicago. Mil
waUkee and St. Paul, and the Chica-
60, Burlington and Quincy railroads.
The facts set fourth by Mr. Rankin
were not disputed and the only point
raised by the defense was that of
constitutional authority, it being con-
tended the sleeping cars were en-
gagged in interstate commerce and not
subject to a state license tax. A rul-
ing to this effect was handed down by
one of Montana's former attorneys
general.
First honOrs in the suit went to
the attorney general when Judge A.
j. Horsky in the district court Of
Lewis and Clark county Thursday,
April 3, over-ruled demurrers of the
railroads, attacking the law on cons
titutiOnal grounds.
Judge Hcrsky's ruling is regarded
by Mr. Rankin as a complete victory
for the state Except for a possible
appeal to the supreme court to test
the soundness of the decision, Mr.
Rankin does not believe the roads will
futher fight the case.

In picking a manager for his Wash
ington branch he did not get a trained
stockbrOker or inveStmen expert. He
got a man who knew everyone who
went to the white house. Sloan had
to be given several weeks training at
Cleveland and New York, in order
that he might know how to sell
stocks. But Ungeleider had met him
with Harding, and knew that "Jim-

and at the service Of the Republican
National committee until June Is,

Sloan testified that no public Off

ST. PAUL LABOR
STRUGGLES FOR PO-
LITICAL CONTROL

St. Paul, Minn.-Two economic
forces are struggling for political
power in the municipal campaign now
being waged in this city. The Cltl-
zens Alliance and the St. Paul Asso-
citation Of Commerce are backing the
present Mayor, four members Of the
city council, and the Comptroller for
reelection. These men have all lined
up with the "Open Shop" crowd
against organized labor and their
masters are now spending a barrel
Of money to keep them in office.
The Farmer-Labor Federation and
the st. Paul Trades and Labor As
sembly are carrying on an aggressive
campaign for George L. Siegel,
former member of the State Legisla
ture with a 100 per cent labor re-
cord and a member of the Brother
hood cf Railroad Trainmen, for May
or, VIM. F. Scott, a member of the
City and County Employees, for
Comptroller. and James Clancy, a
plaSterer and Herman WenZel, bar
Der; c. j. McGlogan, electrician and
Edward CorcOran, printer, for mem
bers of the council.
The Labor candidates for Mayor,
Comptroller and two cOuncllmen lead
the ticket in the primaries and all
indications are that a complete vic
tory will be achieved at the general
election on May 9Th. A victory in
this election will mean that the two
largest cities in Minnesota: Minneap-
oils and St. Paul, will be under con
troll of the Farmer-Labor forces Min
neapolis having gone to the workers
in the last general election. It will
also assure a complete victory for
/ the workers and farmers in the state
/ elections next fall.
The new city officials take office on
June 1st. A victory for the labor
! forces means that the great National
/ Farmer-Labor Convention to be held
/ here on June 18th will be officially
welcomed by a Mayor who is an ar
dent supporter of the Farmer-Labor
/ movement.

IMPERIAL
ISM In SADDLE
Says Bertrand Russell, English SchOl-
ar Before Penguin Club, Washing
tOn-Sen. Walsh at Banquet.

Washington. - Bertrand Russell,
scientist, mathematician, logician and
international pacifst, appealed to the
most representative progressive
group ever assembled in the national
capital, when he spoke on European
Chaos following a dinner in his hon
or by the League for Industrial De-
mocracy and the Penguin club. His
cutting comment on the Dawes re-
pcrt--that it provides for an Ameri-
can tnancier as umpire in the de-
termination of all disputes as to the
scheme of collections against Ger
many-was appreciated by Senator
Walsh Of Montana, who sat at his
side, and Representatives Berger,
Wefald. Huddleston, Crosser and 9TH
er lawmakers throughout the audi
ence.
FATE OF EUROPE

Russell said that the accident of
the date of German elections coming
ahead of the date for the French
elections, this year, might result in
turning the European scale from
peace to war once mOre-since a

BANK CASE TAKEN
INTO FEDERAL COURT
WANT GOVERNMENT TO TAKE
CHARGE OF THREE YEGEN
BANKS NOW CLOSED.

Alleging that Chris Yegen and
Peter Yegen, co-partners in the Veg
en- Brothers Banking house of Butte,
Billings and Gardiner are insolvent
to the extent of more than S1,000,000,
three of the creditors, Anna Olsen,
John Demos and Steve GOngu, thru
their attorneys, Maury & Maury,
have filed an involuntary petition in
bankruptcy with the federal court at
Butte. The petition urges that Fed
eral Judge George Bourquin or Fed
eral Judge Charles N. Pray pro-
nounce the Yegen brothers bankrupt,
which would mean the appointment
of a second receiver, this one to sup
ersede the appointment of Harry L.
Hanson by tn elocal district court and
the appointment of the Billings re-
ceiver.
The petition declares that the Veg
en- brothers committed an act of
bankruptcy in that because of in
sOlvency there was by the district
court Of Silver Bow county put in
charge a receiver of the property
one Harry L. Hanson"
Gegen Brothers are given 20 DAYS
in which to answer the involuntary
petition and should they be found
bankrupt by the court, the govern
ment will itself take over the iuris-
dictiOn of the bank property and will
undoubtedly, according to Mr.. Maury
place a man over the three closed in
stitutions.
The bank having been a private in
stitution, all of the personal property
Of the Yegen Brothers can be sold
to take care of the depositors.

WHY COOLIDGE SHES
AT FRANCIS HENEY
(By Miriam Allen deFordl

wy VII IAN 3AAAElA uEE OEuy
San FransiScO-The country
at large may wonder why Presi-
dent Coolidge is so excited over
the proposed appointment of
Francis J. Heney as special SEN
ate investigator in the treasury
department inquiry; but San
Franciscans understand the pres
ident's agitation very well.
They remember the municipal
graft prosecutions of 1906, when
Heney was shot in open court in
revenge for his relentless thor
Oughness. Heney has been con-
signed to Obscurity since then by
the big corporation officials
whose Indictment he secured. and
these men, friends and support
ers of the powers that be in
Washington, are not yearning
for him to appear in the public
eye again.
Moreover, Heney's chief legal
opponent in the San Francisco
trials, and the attorney for Abe
Ruef, who spent several years in
San Quentin in consequence of
the graft prosecutions. was none
other than Sen. Samuel Short
ridge, one of the presidents chief
hackers in California today.
The anti-Heney propaganda
has resolved itself very largely
into a reflex of the Coolidge
Johnson fight for the presidential
nomination, with ShOrtridge do
ing everything he can to spike
the wheels of his colleague in the
senate. Heney's investigating
skill would give Coolidge a seri-
Gus spell of political dizzeness:

HOW GERMAN ELEC-
TIONS WORK OUT
Extremist in Each Party Sure of
Election - LudendOrff, NatiOnlist.
and Ruth Fischer, Communist, to
Sit in Same Parliament.
ELECTION SYSTEM DIFF
FERENT FROM II. S.
(By Louis P. Lochner)

Berlin The extremes will touch
in the next German. reichstag to be
elected May 4. Beth Gen. Erich Lud-
endorff and Comrade Ruth Fischer
will be members of the next house.
Ludendorff has been put upto head
the reichstag ticket for the Deutsch-
voelkishe, the extreme nationalists,
with the fascist Adolf Hitler as his
running mate in the second place on
the ticket. The Communist list will
be headed by the extremist Ruth
Fischer, who returned from Moscow
recently with the scalps of Heinrich
Brandler, August Thallheimer, Fritz
Heckert, and other more moderate
leaders of the German Communist
party.
GERMAN SYSTEM
DIFFERENT
The German electoral system is diff
ferent from the American. A candi-
date for parliament does not have to
reside in his district. A number of
candidates are elected at large. All
the seats are. apportiOned to the vari-
Gus parties according to their voting
strength shown in the election.
Suppose there are 500 seats to be
filled and 100000 votes cast. Sup
pose the German nationalists cast
100000 votes, the Socialists 10000
the Communists 100000, the Luden-
dortf party 100000, the Democrats
10000, the other parties the rest. I'm
der the German law, the Nationlists
will get 100 seats, the Socilists 100
the Communists 100. and so on.
Now, which of the 500 Ludendorff
candidates will get the 100 coveted
seats? Why, those heading the tic
ket as candidates-at-large, and those
heading the tickets in the various
electoral districts. 1t follows that the
men and women who are placed at
the head of the tickets at their party
caucuses are almost sure to be cleo
ted, for every one of the large parties
will get at least a dozen or two seats
EXTREMES
SURE TO WIN
Ludendorff heads his ticket. Eve
rybOdy knows that these extremists
Will get some seats. Ludendcrf
is therefore bound to be elected. Like
wise everybody knows that in the in
dustrial district of Berlin-Branden-
burg enough votes will be cast ia
elect at least one Communist. Ruth
Fischer heads the Berlin-Branden-
burg Communist list. She is thus
practically sure of her election.
