Federal patronage in Southern

to the charges 1eveled at Repub-
lican leaders in Georgia, it was
learned today as the Senate
Judiciary Committee met to
reach a decision.
Committee Against IL
Although Senator Norris (7.) Of
Nebraska, chairman proposed an
unlimited inquiry into the patronage
situation in all Southern States. a
majority Of the committee were
reported ready to vote DOWN che
plan and limit the investigation
solely to Georgia.
The limitation was suggested on
the ground that the only specific
charges of iob-selling so far pre-
scented to the Senate were those Of
Senator Harris Cd of Georgia.
Opponents of a general inquiry
said such an Investigation would be
merely sending Senate committee
on a fishing expedition"

patronage inquiry to Georgia, 1t

Both Republican and Democratic
leaders were said to frown upon
such an inquiry, in the belief that il
might provoke race troubles with
out achieving any reforms.
The patronage question, however,
may be settled by the Senate itself
as several Southern Senator'S irdi'
Gated they would carry their fight

Requests for Investigations were
made to the Senate by Senators

Fight Doomed to Failure
Even as attorneys for Smith
began drafting the appeal to the
Senate Elections Committee to
recommend the admission of
Smith on his credentials as the

Insurgent leader declared the eff
fort was doomed to failure and
that both Smith and Ware would

Smiths Case Weakest
without any question" said
Norris. ..the 4S to 3S vote denying
Smith the right to his oaths
means that he and Ware cannot
enter the next Senate.
THE fight to keep Smith out
as the appointee of Governor
Small was the weakest case.
There can be no question about
the result when Smith and Ware
come here with the credentials of

Speaking for the first time on

NEW BARN BURNED

The large new BAN on the Robt.
Bjorstrom farm in Little Sank
township, 8 miles east of Osakis,
burned to the ground at about 8
o'clock Tuesday night. Fire caught
in the hay NOW under the steel
covered roof and was first seen by
Miss Bjorstrom who was sitting
outside the house after other MEM
bers of the family had retired. The
alarm was given over the tele-
phone and in a very few minutes
some SO auto loads of nighbors
had congregated to help keep the
fire from spreading to adjoining
buildings. Rudy Bjorstrom at
Osakis was notified and rushed
out to the farm accompanied by
VIM. Peacock, head of the local
fire department, and some others
who took several hand fire extin-
guishers with them for use in case
of necessity. The members of
the family were able to loosen four
head of horses that were tied in
the barn and got them outside, and
the only loss of stock was one
small calf, as there were no cattle
in the barn. The hay NOW was
filed with about 80 tons of new
hay, about all that had been put
up, and its loss is severe one
The barn was 34x60 with high
foundation and 10-foot posts and
was built two years ago. The loss
is only partially covered by in
surance in the Gordon Mutual
company. The barn will be re-
built as soon as Mr.. Bjorstrom can
get the material on the ground
How the fire caught is considerable
Of mystery to members of the
family as none Of them smoke and
th.re had been no fire about the
premises. No tramps had been
seen about the place, and the be-
lief is that due to the extreme
heat during the day spontaneous
combustion must have taken place
in the hay NOV, as the entire loft
was ablaze when the fire was first
discovered. The neighbors worked
hard to keep the fire from spread
ing to surrounding buildings and
Mr.. Bjorstrom and family want to
express their great appreciation
for the service they rendered.
