 The Schipa contracts, however, contain clauses against his appear ing before microphone.
 Word of the difficulty reached Mussolini, a close friend of the singer. The Italian government then prevailed upon the American directors to lift the radio ban for this single occasion. Three other stars of the Chicago Opera company took part in the program, Rosa Raisa, Giocomo Rimini and Virgilio Lazzari.
 Fascist melodies also were played by an orchestra.
 It was the first time Mussolini's voice ever had been heard in Amer ica. His message was electrically recorded in a chamber of the Italian state department at Rome. The re- cording was accomplished, the Tri- bune said, by transporting from reproducing apparatus in the king dom.

control of the Senate. The dope
sters are unable to agree on the
prospects in the House of Repre-
sentatives where the Republicans
have a large majority. At present
the betting favors the Democrats
holding the upper hand in the
next Senate, provided, of course,
that there is no bungling by the
leaders in the campaigns.
The position taken by the Secre-
tary of the Treasury Mellon,
against the Haugen Farm relief
plan has complicated the political
situation. According to the views
entertained by experienced po-
litical observers it has furnished
members of Congress with an abb,
and in many ways, laid the re-
sponsibility for the defeat of farm
legislation at the door of the adj
ministration. Others say that
Mellon has rendered the country
distinct service by puncturing the
economic theories of those spon-
soring governmental subsidy to
the organized farmers.
Investigation in the Pennsyl-

state boundaries and become a

For the first time in years Senator
Reed of Missouri, Chairman of the
Committee, has found it possible
to undertake an investigation into
the political activities Of the Anti
Saloon League. Attempts to OBJ
tain authority from the Senate
for this specific purpose have
failed on other occasions, prin-
cipally because of the power
welded by dry" organizations.
The revelations of the Select
Senate Committee will do more to
project prohibition into the forth
coming elections than any other
factor. The conversations in the
lobbies of the Senate and House,
and other places where men in

Our WASHINGTON Letter
By " pDaley

Washington, June 23-It was
Theodore Roosevelt who said that
if Washington newspaper corre-
spondents printed fifty percent of
what they knew as truth Govern
ments and Government officials
would be uneasy. Therefore,
lunching or dining with groups
of well-informed political writers
has it's advantages, and men occu-
plying high official posts are quick
to seize the opportunity for their
own guidance. The result is, the
dining room of the National Press
Club is always overlooking at noon
time. Here you CLEAN facts and
theories which for some reason
never find their way into print.
The majority of these writer's
are very close to the Senators and
congressman in the territory
covered by their publications. AS
a consequence they are given the
low down" on various situations
and, an interchange of private
opinions among these men usually
reveals the true situation as it
exists beneath the surface.
For instance, the conversation
of late has turned to the increas-
ing number of campaign man
ayers appearing in Washington
for conferences with their candi-
dates. The majority of these men
publicly announce that the nom
nations of their particular prin-
cipal is assured, but privately
they have a worried look and adj
NIT doubts as to the outcome of
the primaries at home. In the
lobbies of the Senate and House
the candidates for reelection and
their political henchmen gather
for long and serious conferences
as to ways and means of achiev-
ing sufficient number of votes
to return them to Washington.
1t is more than problem in arith-
metic. Conversation among mem
bers of Congress and political
leaders these days centers upon
the chances of the Democrats to
control the Senate and House.
Although it is rather early in
the season to predict changes in
the personnel of the two Houses,
information current among OBJ
servers seem to favor Democratic

ASKOV. DEPOT is NOW
UNDER CONSTRUCTION
D. ]. Flynn, Division Superin-
tendent Of Great Northern Ry.,
Was in Askoy Yesterday Show
ing Plans.

A Great Northern carpenter
crew of a dozen men moved into
Askov Friday with several car
loads of construction material and
are now busy erecting the new
depot.
The bulk of the structure will
be composed of an abandoned
depot from a Range town. At.
first thought this might give the
impression that it will be an old
second hand affair, but such is
not the case. When the building
is completed it will be just like
new and it will be as fine depot
as can be found between the Twin
Cities and the Twin Ports.
D. ]. Flynn of Superior, divi-
sion superintendent of the Great
Northern, was in Askov yester-
day and exhibited the plans and
specifications before body of
business men who were pleased
with the general appearance, size,
and convenience of the proposed
building.
The arrangement will be just
the opposite of the old building in
that the ladies' waiting room will
be at the south end and will be
16x30 feet; next to that will be
the agents office and ticket room
which will be 11ax30 feet; next
to that will come the mems wait
ing room, also 16x30 feet; and in
the north end the freight and
baggage room which will be
31x30 feet. Thus the entire build
ing will be 30x76 feet. A 14x14
foot pit will be built under the
building to provide room for hot
water furnace and fuel.
There is some difference of
opinion expressed as to the adj
visibility of having the freight
room in the north end instead of
as formerly, as it gives the ap-
pearance of turning the back to
Main street.
An Is foot driveway will be
provided around the building
which will take away bulk of the
little hill there now. Mr.. Flynn
expressed the belief that the
building will be completed by the
middle of August and thus pro-
vide ample room for Agent Daniel
son to handle the heavy fall bust
ness.
