Scatters Leaflets

When Mulcahy scattered some re-
prints of his editorials at Gregscn
Springs, the proprietor, after a con-
ference with Walsh, ordered Mulca-
hy to have them picked up again.
Mulcahy refused, and was at once ar
rested (without warranty with the
purpose, it is said, of charging him
with invading private property. But
someone remembered that in one of
the "dance-hall cases" the owners of
Gregson Springs swore that it was a
public park" and in this predicament
it was decided to release Mulcahy at
once.
Mulcahy Threatens Suit
Mulcahy at once threatened suit fer
illegal arrest, and charged the Hon.
7. J. Walsh with designs against the
freedom of the press. Consequently
the colossal legal mind of the senior
senator once more began to click, and
the charge against the editor was
filed as disturbing a public meeting" 3"
1t is not alleged by anyone connected
with the affair that there was any
other ground for prosecution than the
printed language accusing Walsh of
violating the constitution by his voice
and vote as a senator of the United
States.

Among the relics which DIR. Hutch

FARM RELIEF QUESTION IS ECONOMIC.
NOT POLITICAL, BERNARD BARUCH SAYS,
SUPPORTING EQUALIZATION FEE PLAN
Senate Expects to Dispose Of
McNary Measure This
Week Through Limitation
of Observation-Disclosures
Increase Efforts TO Gain
Democrats Support

Washington, June 14--(P-Thc
senate expects to dispose of the Nc
Nary equalization fee farm relief
measure this week through limitation
of discussion after today's session.
AS the vote approaches, proponents
Of the plan are increasing their CT
forts to gain support among Demo
cratic senator's from cotton produc-
ing states, without which they CON
cedc the measure will be defeated.
Democratic leaders, however. fear
that support Of the measure might
place them in false position with
respect to their attitude on the tariff
and hold that general reduction Of
import duties would provide more eff
fectivc relief for the farmers.
Agree to Year Suspension
Managers Of the bill already have
agreed to provisions for a two-year
suspension Of the proposed equaliza-
tion fee on cotton and the applica-
tion of S75,OO0,0OO to the handling
of cotton surpluses, and also have
acceded to the objection Of other
senators to inclusion Of cattle anon,
the "other c0mmodities" on which the
fee would be levied. At the same
time, similar agreement affecting
either corn or hogs was indicated,
leaving only wheat and one of those
commodities to pay the fee imme-
diately, with cotton coming under the
levy two years later.
In the meantime. advocates Of the
equalization fee plan have rallied
Bernard Baruch of New York actively
to it's support. He described as
most agreeable to me" the opinion
Of Sir Josiah Stamp, which has ep-
dorsement of Vice President Dawes,
that the principle is economically
sound.
Too Much Delay
Mr.. Baruch's statement, which said
"this is an economic and not a politi-
cal question" was made public by
George N. Peek, chairman of the
executive committee Of the North
Central State Agricultural confer
ence. Mr.. Peak suggested that since
the, soundness of the economies of
the solution appears to have been
effectively established" congress
should dismiss partisan politics, y
and proceed to serious consideration
Of Il solution already too long de-
layed."

BRAZIL SENDS
RESIGNATION
FROM LEAGUE
COnsternatiOn Created in
League Circles BY Off
cial Announcement

Geneva, June 1l-tAP) Brazil has
resigned from the League Of Nations.
Notification Of this step, received by
cable today from Foreign Minister
Pachcco at Rio Janciro, created con-
sternation in league circles.
The withdrawal follows Brazil's
earlier act in resigning from the
league council because of the refusal
of the powers to grant her a perma-
nent seat simultaneously with Ger
many. who was promised one at the
LocarnO conference.
League officials had been confident
that the Rio government would not
take the final step until the European
chancellories had the opportunity to
try diplomatic negotiations.
The powers planned to placate Bra
zil and Spain by promising them sup
port for regular reelection as non
permanent council members. thus Civ
ing them, in effect if not in name,
permanent membership.
Change Hoped For
League officials still doggedly hope
that the entrance of the new Brazil
ian president. Washington Luis. this
fall may bring a change in the Rio
governments league policy as carried
on by President Bernados and his
foreign minister. Senior Pacheco.
Although she has resigned, Brazil
remains a member, by virtue of the
covenant, for two years from the
time the message was sent. 1t is
dated Saturday. June IL. 1885 p. nj.
Brazil now is in the same position
as Costa Rica. who gave notice of her
resignation in December. 1924. and
who thus is entitled to withdraw
legally next December. :
League Reduced To So States
The departure Of Costa Rica and
Brazil reduces the league member
ship to SO states, this number includ-
ing Argentina who, although she has
not yet ratified the covenant, pays
dues and is represented on both the
disarmament and the council reor-
ganization commissions.
It is thought by some that Argen-
tina will now play leading role in
Geneva, in place of Brazil. Never
theless, the Brazilians' move comes
as a big blow. 1t is feared this may
be followed by similar action by
Spain. as both nations have been in
the same boat, with Spain announcing
categorically that she refuses to be
classified as secondary power,
which non-promotion to a perman-
cnt seat would signify in her eyes.
There is some speculation whether
the Brazilian withdrawal will in
flucncc other Latin-Amcrican coun-
tries to do likewise and whether. a
project will be launched to organize
an all-American league, including
the United States.

Carl A. Michalenko. 81, of Mandan,
died few minutes after being taken
to Bismarck hospital about 10
O'Clock Saturday night, and local au
dhoritics are working on the theory
that he committed suicide.
Michalenko was picked up in a
semi conscious condition on the paved
highway between Bismarck and the
bridge Saturday light by passing
motorists and brought into the ci%y.
The only information obtainable from
him was the oft-repeated statement,
"I'm poisoned" Physicians who at
tended him at the hospital stated that
the convulsions which he underwent
before death relieved his suffering
gave every indication Of strychnine
poisoning
An autopsy was conducted at the
Webb Bros. morgue by Coroner E. j.
Gobcl and the mans stomach has been
sent to the state university chemists
at Grand Forks for an analysis of its
contents.
Leaves Wife, Two Children
Michalcnko, the authorities here
have learned, has been married three
times. His first wife, it is said, died
about 10 years ago from self-admin-
istered poison. His second wife died

By ROY~G1BBONS

Washington, Island. Wis. June IA
On this tiny speck of land six
miles off the northern edge Of the
Wisconsin peninsula in the boundary
waters of Green Bay and Lake Michi-
gan. there is the nearest thing to
Utopia in the entire western hcmis-
phere.
On Washington Island folks do not
lock. their doors at night.
There is no Jail, because no one is
ever arrested.
Crime is positively unknown, even
in its midest form
Everybody works at something.
And no man owes another a penny.
Incidentally. any lawyer trying to
make living here would starve TO
death. No islander ever starts a law
suit
There arc no dead beats.
There is no great wealth or real
poverty.
A Cinch Job
To be sure, tho island has town
constable, since the law requires one.
But the constablc's job is purely hon
orary. Hans Hansen. the last con-
stable, held the job for four years
During all that time he never per-
formed an official duty because there
was no need for his services. He has
just resigned to give someone else a
chance at the job.
1t has also frequently happened
that when a justice of the peace has
been elected he has forgotten TO quail
ify for the position, knowing full well
that there would never be need Of his
services except to perform an occa-
sional marriage. Right now the island
is without justice. The last one
forgot all about his appointment.
The island is about six miles square
and comes under the government oi
the state Of Wisconsin.
1t is made up Of about 900 con.
tented farmers and fisher folk. who
live in real cooperative paradise.
They are not members Of any re-
ligiOus sect, clique or queer fedora
ton.
Stranger Royalty Treated
The stranger is treated as com.
| munity guest and no one can do toe
much for him.
1t is hard to explain this cordiality
Perhaps Nature was the stern teach
i er, for it is some distance to the main
land and in the winter time through
the intervening ice fields the way is
most difficult at times.
Whenever anyone gives a party hi
| invites everyone on the island tt
| come. Weddings. birthdays and Other
events are celebrated en- massc.
| Most islanders trace ther~ancestry
to Icelandic. Danish and English par
entage. There is no common reli
gion. In fact. many Of the islander.
are free thinkers.
/ One Movie a Week
Their recreations are simple. One,
week there is movie in the com
bination town hall and billiard room
There are pleasant dirt roads wind
! ing back through the island. where
some of the ancient autos that ths
| island boasts go on Saturday or Sun
day afternoon.
The chief pursuits Of the islander.
| are farming and fishing with the lat
ter the more important industry
! Washington Island. in fact, is one o.
the principal fishing centers on tn.
| Great Lakes. and some Is fishing
| craft of various sizes are owned here
But the most remarkable feature o.
this island life. is the number of co
operative enterprises. Cooperative
| industries may be impractical in some
places, but on Washington Island the,
work Tomorrow shall describs
some of them in detail.
