Famous Forts In
u. S. History
By ELMO SCOTT WATSON

The Fort That Figured in q
Scandal

Neither the Belknap or Teapot Dome
incidents are the only cases of scandal
In the Presidents cabinet, for In 1853
Secretary of War John B. Floyd vas
under fire for his connection with the
sale of Fort Smelling, Mimi, to Frank
lin Steele for $4,000. The usual con-
gressional investigation followed and
eventually the federal authorities re-
covered possession of the post.
The history Of Fort Smelling dates
from 1905 when Lieut. Zebulon Pike
purchased from the Sioux Indians
tract of 100000 acres, valued at $780,
O0O, at the confluence of the Minnesota
and Mississippi rivers Pike must have
been shrewd bargainer for he got 1t

gallons of whiskyl
The War of 1912 delayed establish
ing military post there until 1919
when Col. Henry Leavenworth with
the Fifth infantry began building Fort
st. Anthony which In 1924 was re-
named Fort Smelling by Gen. Winfield
Scott in honor of Col. Josiah Smelling,
LSdNenWOrtnS successor.
Fort Smelling had long list Of COM
mandants who later became prominent,
among them Zachary Taylor, the "Old
Rough and Ready" of the Mexican
war and President of the United
States; w. T. Magruder and G. F.
Smith, Civil war generals. and e. r. s.
Candy, the martyr of the Lava Beds"
In the Modoc war of 1S72-73. The ia
nous bred Scott case Is also connected
with Fort Smelling for bred Scott was
the slave Of Post Surgeon Emerson at
Smelling and Scott was married to a
negro girl there in 1886.
BY 1910 Fort Smelling was an i'm
portant place because 1t was the ex-
IRENE northern outpost in the march
OF civilization into the great North
west. There thousands Of Indians
gathered to trade-and also to fight,
for the ancient feud between the Sioux
and Chippewas repeatedly blazed out
into war. In the Civil war it was the
rendezvous for Minnesota troops and it
was the center of activity during the
terrible Sioux outbreak of 1863.
Smelling was also the scene of a
training camp during the World war,
and it is. now one of the important
military posts maintained by the War
department Not far from the field
where st. Paul society today parks it's
automobiles to watch the officers from
the post play polo, there stands an old
vine-covered stone tower, the only
relic Of the Fort Smelling of pioneer
days and an interesting symbol Of
contrast between the old and new.

Service Men Are Urged
to Investigate First

Watson B. Miller, chairman of the
American Legion National Rehabilita-
ton committee, has issued a statement
warning former service men with dis
ability claims before the United States
veterans bureau against coming per-
Sonslly to Washington to appeal their
cases without first securing definite
information that their papers are In
Washington.
Under the new reorganization of the
veterans bureau all files of papers
have been sent out TO the regional Of
fees of the bureau and no action can
be secured in Washington on these
cases until the papers have been re-
turned. Mr.. Miller points out that men
go to Washington to press their claims
without sufficient funds to sustain
them until their papers arrive in Wash
ington, and soon find themselves in
desperate circumstances. The Legion
and other agencies in the city are not
able to care for the normal load of
transient former service men arriving
In Washington without funds on one
mission or another.

Where the "King of the
Missouri" Ruled

When Kenneth Mckenzie, the stern
old Scotchman who later was known
as the king of the Missouri" was
put in charge of the American Fur
company's business on the upper Mis-
souri, in 1928, he built fort at the
junction of the Yellowstone and the
Missouri In the extreme western part
of the present state of North Dakota.
AT first this was known as Fort Floyd,
but Mckenzie changed that name to
Fort Union because ne intended to
make 1t the center Of both mountain
and river fur trade.
Fort Union is said to have been
the best built post on the Missouri,
and with the possible exception Of
Bent'S fort on the Arkansas, the best
In the entire West. Here the king"
reigned over his turbulent subjects,
both white and red, and for the next
quarter of a century Fort Union re-
tanned its Importance, which was not
true of many Of the fur trading posts
built during that era. But the end
came in 1854 when a steamer, sent
by Smith, Hubbell and Hawley, who
had bought out the American Fur COM
pany. appeared at Fort Union to
transfer it's goods to Fort Benton in
Montana.
In the words of one historian, when
that steamer backed away from the
landing, leaving the stout walls of old

ing chapter of an epoch which for

est of the Indian trading posts within
the boundaries of the United States.
For years the most powerful tribes
of the Northwest had come there TO
trade; there had come the factors of
the eompany's other posts from all
over the vast watershed of the upper
Missouri; there had assembled the
bold voyagers Of the wilderness from
the Great Slave lake and the Platte,
from the Rocky mountains and the
Red river of the North; there had
visited at one time and another some
Of the worlds most famous scientists
and explorers, among others. George

dubon.

HOUSE TO BE ENVOY
TO FRENCH WOMEN
American Home Exhibit Will Show
Europeans Labor-Sav-
ing Devices.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, November French
housewives who still do most of their
household drudgery by hand will soon
have chance to study methods of
American housewives who accomplish
the same results with little electrical
and mechanical servants.
A model American home now
being exhibited here will be dismantled
and shipped to France to take its part
in the International Exhibition of
Household Appliances at the Grand
Palais of Paris in December.
Electricity, although used extensive
ly in France and available in almost
any quantity. is confined almost en-
tirely to lighting purposes.
The American exhibition, sponsored
by 80 prominent manufacturers, Is the
result of a plea made last Spring by
Albert Broisat, who was sent to the
United States by the French depart
ment of public instruction, under
whose auspices the international eX-
hibition is to be held.
THE French people know that you
Americans have mastered the art of
getting your household and office work
done with a minimum of human
drudgery." he said, but they do not
know how you manage this. The
French housewife who still does her
washing, ironing, cooking, sewing
scrubbing and cleaning with her own
hands has much to learn from the
American woman who uses little cleo
trical servants for such work
The interior of the model home,
which in factswill be an ambas assador
from the American hearthside, is de-
signed along the lines of a modest,
early American home. 1t Is a two
story, shingle, frame house with 10
rooms and four baths. The kitchen
and laundry are likely to prove Won
der spots for the French housewife
After the Paris exhibition, the model
home will be awarded to the French
citizen who has made the greatest con-
tribution to humanity in recent years
as a gift from the American people. 1t
will then be dismantled a second time
and erected on site selected by the
winner.

DENIES RACE PREJUDICE
is SHOWN BY WAYS
I. C.. C. Examiner Recommends
Dismissal of Complaint by Col
ored Doctor Against Roads.

Recommending that the railroads of
| the South and the Pullman Co. be
acquitted of charges of racial dis
elimination in transportation of col
ored persons, an examiner for the In
terstate Commerce Commission today
urged dismissal of a complaint alleg-
ing prejudice on the part of the rail
roads against persons of the colored
race.
by r. Crosby, a colored doctor, who
asked for damages in the sum of
s12O, 900, John McChord. the commits
sion examiner, said that unjust dis
elimination or prejudice against per-
sons of the colored race in favor of
persons of the white race has not
been shown as alleged" He added
that "the commission has no juris-
diction to award punitive or exemplary
damages
Crosby declared, in his complaint
filed January 5. 1924. that in 1922 and
1928 Pullman tickets had been denied
him and others of his race at various
points in the South. Officials of the
Pullman Co. declared there had been
no refusal to sell Pullman tickets to
colored persons.
Fifty thousand dollars damage was
asked by Crosby for alleged discrim-
ination in favor of white passengers
at railroad stations in Alabama and
Tennessee. Other small damage
claims were made.

RADIO GOSSIP AND NEWS

Believing that the experimental
| work in radio brodcasting is practt.
cally finished, Secretary Hoover now
feels that the time is ripe for the in
| PRODUCTION in Congress of a radio
! regulation bill which will give
| the Department of Commerce suf-
fcient power to administer radio ac-
tivities in the country without handl-
capping the industry in any way.
Last year, it will be recalled, he sug-
gested that hasty legislation might
prevent or curtail desired develop
ments in this youthful industry.
The industry itself is now believed
to have become stabilized generally,
while most of its branches, particu-
larly broadcasting services, are oper-
ating efficiently, guaranteeing public
service.
Anticipating a literal flood of bills
touching upon this or other phases
of radio, the Commerce Department
will present to the House committee
on marine and fisheries, which han
dies radio matters, comprehensive
outline of the legislation regarded as
necessary and desirable, early in the
next session, which convenes in De-
cember.
Prior to outlining the proposed radio
bill. however, Secretary Hoover is
anxious TO give the representatives of
the industry and its associated In
tereSts a last chance for voluntary
action or at least suggestions. COnse-
uuently the discussion of radio legiS-
lation and regulation will have a
prominent part in the national radio
conference which convenes in Wash
ington tomorrow. Representatives of
the art and industry will be asked for
suggestions making for further vol
untary co-ordinated activity through
out the whole radio field. Cooperation
has long been the keynote in Hoover S
radio policy. AS a matter OF fact, he
could have done little without this
cooperation, lacking specific author
ity by law to control the several radio
services or make effective the regu-
lations which the department felt
necessary. At this conference it Is
believed many of the still unsettled
problems will be adjusted amicably
by the interests involved and that fu-
ture disputes and controversies will
be left to Secretary Hoover or for the
radio officials of the department to
adjust according to the draft of the
new bill.
Secretary Hoover's brief bill. sug-
gested last year, included the fol-
lowing paragraph: THE wave length
of every radio transmitting station
for which a license is now required
by law, it's power, emitted wave, the
character of its apparatus and the
time of transmission shall be fixed
by the Secretary of Commerce as il
his judgment and discretion he shall
deem eXpedient and may be changed
or modified from time to time in his
discretion"
This may prove the basis of any
legislation offered this year.
