FRAZIER D|S[|KES
COMM|TTEEPOSTS
G. o. P. "WeIcome Home"
Assignments Do Not Give
Him Former Ranks.

Signs of a hitch have developed in
the plans of Republican leaders to
get Senator Frazier of North Dakota
back into the party fold, because he
was not given his former positions on
all committees.
Frazier's disappointment over his
committee assignments has disturbed
those who were instrumental in
getting the Republican conference to
vote unanimously to welcome him
hack into the councils from which he
was elected two years ago because
he supported Robert M. La Folle tie
for President.
Senator Frazier declared he had
been led to believe that he would get
his former rank on all of his commit
tees, but that he had been so placed
on only one, Indian affairs. and left
low down on the list of others. He
made the discovery late yesterday,
but declined to say what he would do
about it.
II guess it is all right if they want
to do that way" he added. "It' is all
their doing anyway. I haven't asked
them for anything"
Mr.. Frazier expressed pleasure over
the prospects of becoming chairman
of the Indian affairs committee after
March 4, when Chairman Harrelo
retireS.
He said that he had never attended
but one Republican conference and
did not believe he would participate in
any more, although by the action of
the conference yesterday he will be in
vited to future party meetings.
1t developed yesterday also that
Senator Shipstead, Farmer-L Labor
Minnesota, had been approached to
learn if he desired to attend Republi-
can conferences. He is reported to
have replied that he would let the Re-
publicans know 'later."

Coal Control Bill Applied to Farmers

On the principle that a legislative

by changing one word in a bill to
regulate the coal industry has en-
phaSized his contention much more
effectively than by a torrent Of abuse
on the floor of the House.
This coal industry control bill is

NEW YORK, Dec. d.
Further inquiry today into the
love tragedy Of Sunday was
directed BY r. H. Ingerson,
founder Of the dollar watch
On the theory that q third pei
son fired the shots that killed
his wife and seriously wounded
her lover, Wallace M. Pro-
basco, wealthy business execu-
tive. The tragedy occurred in
Mrs. Ingerspll i apartment.
Police Hold Their Theory
The police, however, showed no
inclination to question their first
belief, that Mrs. Ingersoll, angry
at Probasco because of his inten-
ton to break off their friendship
and return to his wife, shot him
three times and then turned the
revolver on herself.
Discrepancy Found
Detectives working under the
aged Mr.. 1ngersolI have uncovered
one discrepancy in the story of the
tragedy told by Mrs. Probasco, who
is the daughter of Col. Robert G.
Ingersoll, the noted agnostic, though
no relation to the retired watch
manufacturer.
Mrs. Probasco said that after
she was summoned to Mrs. niger
soils apartment by a frantic tele-
phone call from her husband and
discovered what had happened. she
called the superintendent OF the
building and told him to get the
police.
