PORT ARTHUR, Ont, Dec. H.
The steamer Marian, with its
crew still aboard, remained fast
aground on Hare island today,
despite efforts of the freighter Glen
Eagle to float it.
The ship was not believed to be
in immediate danger.
Anxiety was felt for the tug
Champlain, which went to the
rescue of the Marian Friday, and
has not been heard from since.
Wreckage from the steamer
Lambton, 25O-ton freighter, was
found by coast guardsmen. The
vessel had broken in two off Isle
Parisienne. The coast guard cutter
was unable to approach the wreck
age, because Of ice and high seas.
The tugs Sabin and Illinois circled
the disabled vessel, but saw no signs
of life. Footprints in the ice lead
ing to shore led to the belief that
the crew of twenty-five from the
Lambton had sought shelter on the
island.

It's The Tie That Binds
Legislative, Liquor
Decisions.

"Red tape" is no figure Of speech
in the Indiana Statehouse. Its al
ways there, but increases four-fold
when the Legislature meets.
When you say "red tape" to j.
Otto Lee, printing board secretary,
who has charge of the purchases of
the "tie that binds" all Statehouse
documents he emissions yards and
yards of long narrow, blood-hued
Irvine, one-eighth of an inch wide,
Keeling into inf1nity.
IF all of that tape was left un-
severed the Statehouse has used
enough in the last twenty-five
months to reach from the Capitol
to Broad Ripple and there is enough
left over to tie a few bows about
the gigantic neck<of the lady grac-
ing the Circle monument" said Lee.
Many Uses Possible
The same amount of red tape
could have been used to pennon the
city's electric light and telephone
wires when Queen Marie visited the
city a year ago, if someone had
thought about it.
Only members of the State Board
Of Accounts are permitted to ascend
to higher mathematics, but here
goes.
Each spool Of tape has seventy
two yards, 1855 spools has been used
in twenty-five months. That totals
1850 yards, or $4,000 feet.
The Supreme Court Clerk alone
has used forty-eight spools, 3,454
yards or 10,368 feet in the last year.
Liquor Decisions Bound
Slightly more than one yard is
used for the collection of briefs
and records, in each case, therefore,
conservative estimate says that
5000 cases have been handled dur
ing that time by the clerk.
Two-thirdS of the cases that come
up concern liquor violations: there
fore liquor violators were respon-
sible for the use Of approximately
1000 yards of tape.
All legislative documents are
bound with red tape as are public
service commission records.

BY CARL d. GROAT
United Press STAFF Correspondent

WASHINGTON. Dec. icon
gress' latest investigation outburst
tended today to overshadow the. real
business of the session.
While the Senate turned to the
task of neutrality-suspicious. COM
mittees do the behind the-scenes
work on important bills-and the
House plunged deeply into the tax
reduction measure, the Hearst
Mexican investigation and the pre-
liminaries for further Vare-Smith
election investigating occupied con-
siderable Of Senate members time.
The investigation into the Wash
ington Herald "a Hearst paper)
publication of documents purport-
ing to show a plan of President
Gales of Mexico to bride four United
States Senators had taken a sem
sational turn over the weekend
when the State department was
called into the matter.
Mexico Stands on Law
Mexican Ambassador Teller,
standing on generally recognized
principle of international law,
sought to prevent the Reed penn
sylvania) committee from enforc-
ing subpoena served on Consul
General Elias of New York. The
State Department supported Teller,
and sought to call off the Senate
investigators.
Chairman Reed Of the committee
conferred Sunday with Assistant
Secretary of State Castle, presum-
ably on the question of safeguard
ing Mexico'S rights.
The Mexican government is I'M
derstood to be quite willing that
Elias testify, but reSentS the SUBJ
poena. Members of the committee
Saturday had said merely that
Mexican officials would be invited"
to attend, but subsequent develop
ments indicated a subpoena for
Elias actually had been ordered.
NhA
The Mexicans hold the Hearst
documents are forgeries, and are
represented as feeling that William
Randolph Hearst is the man to
subpoena rather than Elias. Ameri-
can diplomats frankly admit they
would not expect such treatment of
United States conSulS in Mexico or
anywhere else.
Around Capitol Hill there was
much speculation as to why this
form of procedure was undertaken.
Reed insisted that the investigation
was intended to clear an implied
blot on the Senate's integrity.
Others suggested that, along with
such motives, Reed might perhaps
see an opportunity to complicate or
obscure the Ware seating fight issue.
Herring on Trail"
In this connection, it was recalled
that at the height of the oil inves-
legations few years ago, a red"
scare was developed, which some
then suggested was case of draw
ing herring across the trail"
In any case, the subpoena issue,
coming alta time when the Admin
iStration is seeking to improve
INSTRUMENTATION relations, served
to cause some embarrassment to
State Department authorities.
The upshot may be withdrawal of
the subpoena or a denial that it was
issued.

Johnston Gets Injunction to

United Press star Correspondent

OKLAHOMA CITY. Dec. H.
Governor Henry S. Johnson, fight
ing with troops and intunctions
against an insurgent legislature de-
ternined to impeach him, succeeded
today in preventing a session of the
lawmakers in the State capitol.
Troops Of three national guard
companies, called out of bed at q a..
m, to guard the Statehouse, dis
persed eighty-five members of the
legislature, who attempted to meet
In the legislative chambers at 1890
q. m.
Seventy guardsmen were on duty
at the capitol, under command of
Brigadier General Mcpherson. They
carried rifles and pistols, but no ma
chine guns and been mounted.
Obtains Injunction
Governor Johnston also obtained
in district court today a temporary
injunction restraining the lower
houses investigating committee
from submitting articles of impeach-
ment to the House. 1t also prohibited
filing Of impeachment charges
against any other State official.
Nevertheless, insurgent leaders
announced the Governor would be
irnpeached by the House tomorrow
night.
In Woodworking a military order
was issued forbidding more than
four persons from meeting and con-
versing in the capitol building. The
rotunda was roped off to assist
troops III preventing assemblage Of
groups.
Reporter Is Elected
A newspaper man who asked to
see the orders under which as
Senblage Of more than four persons
was prohibited was elected. He was
re-admitted later,
1t was the second time in four
years that troops had patrolled the
State house. Governor Jack Walton
called upon the militia to hold his
Office when an inSurgent LegiSla-
ture sought to GUST him in 1923. He
dispersed one session of the Legis-
lature but was forced to call another
which impeached him.
Thirty troopers guarded the doors
Of the legislative chambers. Ropes
were stretched across corridors lead
ing to the chambers.
Months of Unrest
Governor Johnston based his use
Of troops to defend his position on
the alleged illegality of the legisla-
tive session, which met without call
from the chief executive.
The Governors Office was one of
the few unguarded rooms in the
capital.
The entrance of troops into the
dispute followed months of political
unrest, directly traced, according to
veteran observers, to Governor
Johnston's refusal to dismiss Mrs.
o. o. Hammonds as his confden-
tial secretary. Opponents call her
the Governor in Fact" of Okla
home and Johnston's Mrs. Colonel
House."
The Governor is charged by the
Legislature with incompetency and
actions contrary to the public good.
