Washington, December 3O-Holiday
reflections of legislators at the Cap
itol disclose their recognition of the
long travail that is ahead. The new
year is truly a year of political reck-
onings. A presidential election, one
third of the Senate due for a verdict
at the ballot-boxes, and confusion in
party ranks over men and issues, show
the need for sagacity. AS one famous
leader remarked privately this week
melancholy days these, my brother"
Fortunately, perhaps. as Lord Byron
once said Melancholy is an everlast-
ing mist" It is certain that even
the sharp-eyed and veteran bosses of
both parties are in fog.
The so-called mavericks" from the
West have been kicking up their heels
to the CONSERVATION of their more
sedate Eastern colleagues. This is
particularly true in the Senate where
Hiram Johnson has held them SPELL
bound with his oratory-speeches that
made the sparks of rebellion against
the White House dictation fly upward.
Reform in elections is under con-
sideration again. Senator Nye, Re-
publican Progressive, from North Da-
kota, is forcing action on a bill to
curb campaign expenditures for the
election of Presidents and legislators.
II the measure with. all its teeth, is
passed it will bring about changes in
the next campaign and keep down ex-

LITTLE TOT DIES
IN AUTOMOBILE
Two Year Old Daughter of
Kerrick People, Victim
of MOnOXide.
Shock Came to the Parents
When Car Breaks on
Christmas Eve.

Little Lois Zelma Halverson, daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. Norman Halvor-
son of Kerrick, was laid to rest Sun
day at Fort Frances, Canada, follow
ing her sudden death Christmas eve
near Kerrick.
What began as happy family re-
union ended in tragedy for the family.
The mother and children had just ar
rived home from Canada and were on
their way to the home of Mr.. Halver-
sons mother, Mr.. and Mrs. John Lans,
at Sturgeon Lake when their car be-
came disabled. Mr.. Halverson had
secured another car and while trans
ferring the family from their own car
to that of a neighbor's it was found
that the little girl was limp. The
doctor was quickly summoned, but the
little life was extinct. F. P. Gottry,
deputy coroner of Pine county, was
called to the scene and with the doc
tor gave the opinion that death was
caused by monoxide gas poisoning.
She had died in the car unknown to
the father and mother.
Lois Zelma Halverson was born at
Fort Frances, Canada, on Feb. 3, 1929,
and at the time of death was 2 years,
10 months, and 81 days of age. She
had been in Pine county with her par
ents two years. She is survived by
her parents, one sister, s; one brother,
Is months; and grandparents, Mr.. and
Mrs. John Lans of Sturgeon Lake.
The family has the sympathy of
many friends because of its great

HEARING CLEARS
UP MUTTERINGS
Game Warden c. E. Lucas, Milaca, Is
Appreciated More After Hearing
on His Record.

Down in Mile Laos County it APP
pears that some folks were dissatis-
fled with the game warden, C. E.
Lucas, who has served in that ca
pacity for many years and therefore
requested a hearing on his conduct
as game warden. Members of the
State Game and Fish Commission
came to Milaca on Monday of last
week and conducted the hearing in
the court house where several hun
dred people were in attendance.
The testimony against the game
warden seemed to peter out and ran
into thin air as the program pro-
crossed, it being given largely by
those who had been arrested for vio-
lation of the game laws. Joseph Col
lette, of South Harbor township, was
put on the stand by D. E. Emmons
who instigated the hearing, and testi-
fed that in 1929 he had set white
fish net in Mile Laos lake, and it had
disappeared. When he went to look
for it the net was gone. He said he
had heard that the warden was in
the habit of taking nets, so he sup
posed it was the warden that had
taken his net. He admitted, under
cross examination, that he did not
know what became of the net, and that
he had never spoken to the warden
concerning it. Somebody else may
have taken the net for all he knew,
or it might have disappeared from
various other causes.
After all testimony against him had
been heard a veritable cloud of wit
nesses testified to the high character
of Mr.. Lucas as we'll as his ability
as an able and efficient game warden.
Andrew Kallberg, pioneer of Opstead,
located in the game reserve, gave a
high recommendation and said the
warden was very clever, efficient and
always on the job.
Writing on the hearing editorially
the Mile Laos County Times sums
it up thus:
1.-The hearing of the alleged charges
against Game Warden c. E. Lucas in
Milaca, Monday, demonstrated that
this official has remarkable record
for efficiency. Although he has been
game warden in this. section for over
fifteen years and has arrested scores
of people annually during that period
for violating the law, yet nothing was
adduced at the hearing that indicated
anything but that he had performed
his full duty ably and efficiently. 1t
would not be surprising that game
warden in fifteen years of service
would make mistakes and plumbers
that might be against his record, but
not a thing appeared at the hearing to
show the slightest error in the work
of Mr.. Lucas. The hearing was
complete exoneration of the record of
Mr.. Lucas in every way. 1t is hoped
that this is the end of efforts to ham,
per the work of one of the best game
wardens in the state"
