Golden Locks Lead to Ar

The preference of one blonde for
high-priced automobiles Thursday
started her back to Flint, Mich, to
face prison term.
Her blonde locks and her failure
to wear a hat while strolling down
the street here a few weeks ago late
at night led to her arrest by Detec-
tive Emert Englebright.
The blonde is Miss Eugenia Baker
of Alma and Detroit, Mich.
She was recognized from a circu-
lar bearing her picture sent out
by Flint, Mich, police. At first she
said she was 18 and was held at
city prison. Then she said she was
II and was taken to the Juvenile
Detention Home.
Word came she was wanted at
Flint, Mich, for the alleged theft
of nine automobiles and she was
taken to county Jail. She admitted
her identity and said she had left
Flint in a stolen Buick. Sept. IL.
She abandoned the car when it ran

TRAFFIC COPS
FACE PHILLY
'ALKY INQUIRY
Partly to Blame for Illicit
Flow of Liquor, Says
District Attorney.

BU United Press
PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 5-The in
vestigation of alleged police corrup-
ton probably will be extended to
the traffic squad today.
That group so far has not been
questioned in connection with the
$10,000,000 liquor ring which is be-
lieved to be operating here, but
John Monaghan, district attorney,
indicated Thursday that he thought
the traffic police partly were re-
sponsible for the flow of illicit al
cohol through Philadelphia.
The civil service commissions in
vestigation Thursday was featured
by the charge that Charles Beck
man, suspended captain of detec-
tives, had made $150,000 in the last
two or three years.
Beckman denied that he had &C
copied graft, and said he made be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000 by pur-
chasing tickets for friends to the
Tunney-Dempsey fight.
He also denied ever meeting or
accepting money from Max (Boo
Boo Hoff, alleged leader in the al
cohol ring here.
Reports that the traffic squad
would be involved in the investiga-
ton arose after the questioning of
Capt. Charles Fox of that division.
He was before the grand jury for
an hour and a half.
A county detective was on his way
to Albany, N. Y, today to seek the

er and do as they please at the con-
vention.
In all the hubbub over Presidential
timber, the office of vice president of
the U. S. seems to have been over
looked. Yet, there are a number of
legislators and politicians who are
praying that the honor of second place
on the ticket will be thrust upon their
willing shoulders. 1t is said that
many are quietly dickering with the
leaders to take advantage of the trad
ing which invariably marks dead
locks at the conventions. Much de-
ponds on the geographical conditions
or the home town of the head of
Presidential ticket. For instance,
reports have it that Senator George
H. Noses Republican of New Hamp-
shire, would not be deaf to a propo-
sition giving him chance at the
Vice Presidency. If perchance, Hoover
or some other western candidate
grabbed off the blue ribbon, it would
then seem logical, considering the
question of geography, to select an
fastener, a situation which his
friends say would favor the New Eng
land Senator. Few make open bids
for the job for obvious reasons.
The Muscle Shoals plant has been
a controversial subject in Congress
since the war. Various attempts to
dispose of the property have fallen
short of the mark. 1t is reliably re-
ported this week that a deal may be
arranged between warning factions to
end the long contest. 1t is now pro-
posed to give the War Department
full power to dispose of the plant
subject to certain restrictions as to
the manufacture of power and ferti-
liZer. Boulder Dam measures are
likewise in difficulty for in each case
the debates deal with the possible
effect of the Legislation. on the price
of power to consumers. In each case
the advocates have locked horns over
the reliability of engineers reports
as we'll as the so-called power trust"
and their interest in the measures.
The failure of the Senate Interstate
Commerce Committee to make a IA
vorable report on the denomination
of John Esch as member of the In
terstate Commerce Commission will
force the exchange of sharp words
this week when the Senate takes up
the matter. 1t is said that the de-
feat of Esch will serve as notice to
other Commissioners that hereafter
their decisions in rate matters must
consider political factors. This view
is held by some observers who have
been Informed that designations will
follow from the present Commission
as protest if the Senate turns down
Mr.. Esch because of his votes on coal
rate cases. Sectional feeling more
than partisanship marked the fight on
Esch in the Senate Committee.

WASHINGTON
By " KDaley
n NATIONAL EDITORIAL ASSOCIATIONS sescu~

Washington, March Little i'm
portant business has been transacted
in Congress this week. Several lead
ers are away from their offices, hav
ing gone back to their own states to
build up their political fences. There
is a mad scramble for places on the
delegation wagon going to the Kan
sas City and Houston conventions in
June. Primary elections and the Sc
lection of party delegates are under
way this month in many states, with
the result that the "favorite sons"
and those in Congress who hope to
win a position among the chosen few
are on the ground. The backwash
from this intense local activity is
observed in the Senate and House
chambers where the legislators are
eagerly seeking news of political
trends as they affect their interests.
Folks from home, especially those of
standing in their communities, are
welcomed with open arms at this sea-
son.
1t is becoming more apparent that
current investigations into campaign
and legislative activities of business
organizations will eventually change
party methods of formulating public
opinion on political questions and can
didates for office. The disclosure of
the publicity machinery used by the
two Presidential campaigns, as
brought out by the investigation of oil
frauds by the Senate Public Lands
Committee, is expected to give the
party managers considerable trouble.
The early hearings in the probe of the
so-called power trust" by the Fed
eral Trade Commission revealed other
methods of reaching the public on
legislative matters.
Newspapers have shown tendency
to disregard labels as partisan sheets
in recent years which is another fac
tor to add to the burdens of those
who will direct publicity campaigns
for the chosen candidates after the
conventions in June.
The subjects dominating CONVERSE
lions at social and Sem1-pOlltlcal gath
erings in Washington this week may
be summarized as follows: Hoover's
pre-convention strength; effect of in
vestigations on secret contributions to
party funds; the next vice president;
the Federal Trade Commission, and a
breakdown of the Interstate Com
merce Commission. The debate CEN
tiers on the charge that the entrance
of Hoover into state primaries for
delegates has weakened his candidacy.
They will also point out that the big
bosses have passed the word to
squelch the Hoover boom at the ear
Hest possible date. 1t is claimed that
many Hoover boosters in the Senate
are merely playing safe in the face
of popular sentiment and, will use
old-fashioned machine methods" lat

county commissioner from the Fourth
district, filed for reelection at the

Mr. Stepan is an able and aggressive
county official and while there has
been talk of others filing for the

that it is very difficult to defeat him.
He was appointed to the position last
year when Fred Degerstrom, who was
then county commissioner, was Sc

A Swindler Active.
Danish-American newspapers have
recently contained number of re-
ports of the actions of an alleged
Danish swindler who tries to raise
money by presenting fraudulent drafts
against Copenhagen banks. He has
been traced from New York to New
Jersey cities as well as to Racine and
Chicago, but seems to have succeeded
| in covering his tracks whenever he
suspected that there was any danger
of apprehension. One method he is
said to have used is to pretend that
he wants to buy a house, and then
give a fraudulent draft as payment;
the drafts amount is larger than the
purchasing sum, and so he expects
| to receive several hundred dollars
| back in change. AS far as is known,
his scheme varied according to 10
cal conditions-has succeeded few
times, and his suffering compatriots
are that much wiser-and sadder.

NEWS AMONG SCANDINAVIANS

On the occasion of the twentieth
anniversary of the founding of the
National Swedish Cultural League, a
special excursion of Swedish-Amer-
leans is being arranged. A series
of festivities will take place in Goth
enburg, and it is hoped that a sub
stantial amount of money can be pre-
scented to the home organization from
Swedes in the United States as their
contribution to the fund now being
collected for the erection of THE
House of the Swedes Abroad. 1t is
expressly stated that no single indi-
vidual is to reap any financial ben
efits from the movement now in pro-
gress among Swedish-Americans with
this particular object in view; it
seems that rumors have been afloat
to the effect that the collection cam
paign was planned for the benefit of
but few persons, but the National
Swedish Cultural League last week
issued statement to the effect that
it is not so.
Danish Boxing.
Boxing seems at the present mo-
ment to be the favorite sport of Co.
penhagen, Denmark, and matches
national and international-are being
arranged practically every week. The
most recent announcement says nego-
tiations are in progress for a heavy
weight match between Harry Person,
of
Danish parents in Racine, Wis. A
flat purse of $1,000 Kr. has been Of
fered to each of the two boxers, and
Hansen has declared his willingness
to accept the offer Person, however,
is attempting to have the match take
place in Stockholm and apparently
makes his acceptance contingent upon
that. The Danish promoters insist
that Copenhagen must be the arena
of this coming battle.
University Planned.
Norwegian Lutherans in California
are planning to establish a university
of their own near Los Angeles, and an
organization was launched last week
for the purpose of collecting the
100000 needed. A 100-acre lot has
been secured, and those familiar with
conditions say that this can be con-
verified into a most attractive site for
such a school as into an ideal campus.
Rev. E. M. Stensrud of San Francisco,
is president of the corporation that
has been organized to promote this
plan.
Boys Going to Denmark.
The Boy Scouts of Brooklyn, N. Y,

discuss county snow blowing of roads,
Guy Hendricks, who lives out in Dan
forth township and who as his neigh
bors is 10 miles or more removed
from any village in the county, made
the winter time, using good common
sense and logic. A few others also
expressed their opinions on the mat
ter, including some of the commits
SionerS after which it was tabled I'M
til later. The matter was to be dis
cussed at many of the township, meet
ings Tuesday and it was thought best
to have it aired out locally in the var
ious precincts before any action be
taken by the board.
Officers of the Pine County Farm
Bureau together with S. B. Cleland
of the University Farm, appeared be-
fore the board to ask for an appro-
priatiOn for the county agent or ex-
tension work. The county gave
$4,000 to this work last year. The
board did not grant any appropriation
at this meeting.
The board was up to Sturgeon Lake
Tuesday and inspected the newly con-
structed bridge over Moose river.
They found it o. X. and accepted it.
