Old Guard Fights
Its Rebels Over
Committee Control

WASHINGTON, Nov. 20. = Sena-
tors Curtis of Kansas and Watson of
Indiana, with advisory help from
Smoot of Utah, are trying to rally the
Old Guard Republican forces in the
upper branch of Congress, against at
tacks which the progressive Republi-
cans and the Democrats are about to
make upon their control of commit
tees of that body. Curtis is chair
man of the rules committee, and Wat
son is cheer-leader. They face the
new Congress with decimated ranks,
and uncertain of the crop of recruits
that may be gathered from among
men elected as progressives.
While the Borah-Norris group has
not yet. caucused upon a program of
invasion of these committee strong
holds, the members of the group are
convinced that if they are to get their
legislative demands before the Senate
this winter they must secure places
on the powerful committees from
which most of them have bean ex-
cluded. Borah and Norris, as veter-
ans, have come up by right of senior
ity to chairmanships of the foreign re-
lations and the judiciary committees,
respectively. But they want Howell
of Nebraska to take place on the
finance committee. They want Nye
of North Dakota to enter the foreign
relations committee. And they have
similar posts of responsibility picked
out or under consideration for Frazier,
Brookhart, Shipstead, young LaFol-
lette and Blaine.
May Compromise.
1t is likely that Borah and several
others of the western insurgents will
go into the Republican caucus, when
the Senate meets, and will present
list of these proposed changes to the
Curtis Watson-Smoot crowd. 1t is
likely that the Old Guard will offer
a compromise. 1t is also probable that
the Walsh-Wheeler group of Demo-
Gratis will encourage the insurgent Re-
publicans and the Bourbon Democrats
to discuss possible agreement, but
that the insurgents will wait until the
Old Guard has rejected their demands.
Then the insurgents will formulate
committee list, and offer it on the
senate floor as an amendment to the
report of the committee on commit
tees.
Famous ReactiOnaries Gone.
Old Guard losses from big commit
tees, due to defeat or retirement of
senators, include Lenroot and Cameron
from appropriations, Weller and
Stewart from commerce, Ernst and
Stanfieid from finance, Lenroot and
Pepper from foreign relations, Ernst,
Means and Harreld from judiciary,
Weller from manufactures, Wads-
worth from military affairs, Pepper
and Weller from naval affairs, Ernst
from privileges and elections, and
Stanfield from public lands.
Watson and McNary have recently
been graciously offering some of these
vacant places to few of the insur-
gents. The rebels have suggested that
they will take them when they get
around to it, without any help from
the administration, and that they will
do so as step toward their legislat-
i've program.

lease fraud.
Get Subpoena.
A subpoena was served upon Black
mer in France last summer, under
authority of special act of Congress
introduced by Senator Walsh of Mon
tana, leading Investigator of the oil
land leasing frauds. Blackmer fled
to Europe with President O'Neill of
the Prairie Oil & Gas Co. when the
Teapot Dome leasing scandal was ex-
posed four years ago. No subpoena
has yet been served on O'Neill.
Blackmer and O'Neill are key wit
nesses to the planning by Harry F.
Sinclair and themselves, with Stewart
of Standard Oil of Indiana, of the
secret slush fund from which Secre-
tary Fall received $230,500 in Liberty
bonds. 1t was Blackmer who instruc-
ted former Senator Thomas of Colora-
do, counsel for the Humphrey oil in
terests in Texas and Mexico, to draw
up the contract of sale of oil by the
Humphrey companies to the Contin-
entail Trading Co., Ltd, of Canada,
which had been formed overnight to
conceal the fact that it was Sinclair
and Standard of Indiana, through
their subsidiaries, that were buying
and reselling this oil in order to create
secret fund.

tageous to the Gales government.
Such documents could only be useful
for the purposes to which they are
put by the chain of Hearst papers,
that is, trying to inflame public opin-
ion against Mexico and Nicaragua in
order to support the policies of the
imperialist interventionists.
Money for "LivitnOff."
On Saturday morning and again on
Sunday the Hearst publications, con-
tinuing their attacks based upon for
gerry, ''revealed" that Gales had or
dered 100000 to be shipped in a
round about way to so-called Com
munist propagandist accompanied by
the observation that "the funds which
may be confided to him (Livitnoff)
for our propaganda will be employed
effectively" Surely no one outside a
mad-house or a theatre producing
light operratas, would resort to such
melodramatic and absurd correspon-
dence. The grotesque manner of
forging the Hearst documents are
added proof of the fact that they are
spurious, and are only published for
the malicious purposes of Hearst and
his fellow oil, mineral and land
thieves.
A Champion of Hearst.
But one other paper, aside from his
own publications in New York, has to
date spoken favorably of the Hearst
forgeries. That is the Wall Street
Journal, which on Friday published
a cheap lingo editorial based upon
the Hearst fabrications, containing
the most vicious attacks upon the gov
eminent of Mexico and declaring that
since the question of Mexico has come
back to the front page again it
Should remain until the American
people demand that an end be put to
these plots against u.s."
The journal has been a consistent
supporter of the most vicious of
American inIperialist policies and has
been particularly aggressive in sup
port of the suppression of the nation
alist elements in Nicaragua so that
the United States may have free
hand in the construction of a Nicara-
guam Canal that will be even more
advantageous for purposes of carry
ing forward imperialist policies than

an official communication from the

last chance to secure the bonus.
Adjutant George A. Bergfield will
be glad to fill out the application
blanks for any service man who has
not yet applied. AS the adjusted COM
pensation is in the nature of a paid-up,

is considered to be an excellent thing.
A man may secure the certificate now,
borrow money on it if he has to or
keep it intact and in 20 years he will
be paid in full for the certificate, which
at the date of maturity will be the

While many Douglas people are pur-

Interested in the cultivation on lawns
and in back gardens of the paper
shelled pecan. one local resident a
year ago planted some 20 pecans and
has al present about dozen fine little
trees which he reports are growing
well and show every Indication of
having taken a liking to the Douglas
climate.
Pecan trees cannot be shipped into
this state, owing to a ruling of the
government to prevent the spread of a
tree disease 1t has been found, how
ever, that very good results can be
obtained by purchasing young trees
that can be had from a number of the
nurseries and seed companies in diff
ferent cities of the state, and a num-
Der of orders have been sent out.
Among nuts the pecan ranks high for
the meat may be extracted from the
it's fine flavor and the ease with which
it shells. The nuts are high priced on the
markets and the wish to raise home
supply together with the urge toward
gardening and tree planting, is causing
fine interest in this phase of city
Identification. The pecan trees that
are cultivated in this district do not
grow very large but are said to bear
heavily. The wild tree, which grows
abundantly in many parts of the south
and west, is larger tree, but the nuts
have harder, thicker she'll than the
varieties known as paper shell.

SNOW AND RAIN
TIE UP RAILS
EAST AND west

With a snowstorm east of Arizona
tied on Friday SO that it was slated to
arrive in Douglas about o'clock this
morning instead of 4:53 yesterday
afternoon and with floods in California
SO that Douglas has had no mail from
southern coast points since Tuesday, a
summer sun pours down upon the
borderland, and the officials of the
Borderland Climate club are having
little trouble in convincing the few
visitors who have been able to arrive
here that this is a good place in which
to live.
All trains from the west have been
cancelled for three days, and one train
slated to arrive at 1890 last night is
said to have connected in Tucson with
a Santa Fe train bringing some pas
sengers from the coast. The train was
made up in Phoenix.
The railroad officials here were un-
able to give any definite details about
the storm in the east except to say
that they understood that it was in
Kansas. The fact that the crack
Golden State is nine hours late is an
indication that the, storm was a severe
one.
With every passing day of the tieup
in rail traffic the weather in Douglas
has grown more pleasant. The sun is
warmer and the sky shows few clouds.
A balmy air such as is usually con-
nected with the days of April or May
in less favored climes, nestles over the

and expresses joy that he was unable
to reach his destination, whether he
were going east or west when the
