Firemen Remember Cold Useless Trips
And Trap Joker Punching Fake Alarms

A year ago, on chilly night. three
false alarms called fremen out of
warm engine houses. The first alarm
came from Box 233, at First and Bates
street; the next from Box 235, at
First and r streets, and the third
from a box at Third and Q streets.
Last night an alarm was sounded
from Box 233. 1t was false alarm.
Firemen of No. Engine Company, en-
route back, prodded their memories
a bit, but there was only a vague
recollection of a previous useless run.

FACES SEAT FIGHT
Governor Held Not EmpoW.

North Dakota.
BY &. GOULD LINCOLN.

The appointment yesterday OF
Gerald P. Nye by Gov. Arthur G. Sor.
lie of North Dakota to fill the vacancy
in the Senate caused by the death of
Senator Ladd of that State was
complete surprise to political Wash
ington. 1t was predicted last night
that the appointment would lead to a
battle in the Senate over his right to
be seated, on the ground that the
Legislature of North Dakota has not
given the governor the right specific
ally to appoint to fill vacancies in the
United States Senate. and that such
vacancies can only be filled through
popular selections.
Senator Frazier of North Dakota. in
surgent Republican and one of the La
Toilette group which was excluded
from party councils by the regular
Republican organization and denied
committee assignments as Repub-
licans, said he believed the governor
had right to appoint

Senator Ladd died June %, 1925.
Since that time there have been
varying reports from North Dakota
AT one time it was said the governor
would appoint the widow of Senator
Ladd. but this was later denied 1t
was variously reported that he would
and would not make an appointment
The progresSives, the Non-Partisan
Leaguers, at one time were anxious
for the governor to call a special cleo
ton to fill the vacancy.
There were so many candidates for
the nomination and election that it
seemed likely the regular" Repub-
lican faction probably would be able
20 put it's candidate in office beca Ise
of the division in the ranks of the
progressives. Gov. Sorlie made it
clear that he did not desire to call an
election at a time when the farmers
were engaged in getting in their
crops and later that he was opposed
to holding a special election, which
would cost the State thousands of
dollars, when there are Statewide
primaries and elections to be held
next year, Last week he called
special election for next June to fill
the vacancy. 1t was expected that
