TWO FIRE CALLS

to subdue the blaze with nominal
loss.
At about 200 P. NJ, call to the
Frank Gilbert home, corner of
South Main and Fifth street. Burn

Lenten Lectures
Develop Interest
Rev. Morgan Delivering Series at
Congregational Church-Mrs.
DOlsOn, Guest SOlOist

Considerable interest is being
shown in the series of Lenten lee
lures being delivered Sunday eve
nings at the Congregational Church,
by Rev. Morgan. Each lecture is
discussion of a number of ques-
tons submitted by the public on a
previously announced topic. The
topic for discussion next Sunday
evening will be What Do We Need
Most?" The following are some of
the questions submitted, and which
will be discussed: ,-s~< 49,,
l. Our greatest need is Better Citi-
zenship, the first prequisite for
which is a frank recognition of
churches and their real position
in our society. When a majority
of people become active in their
respective churches, then can
we commence to become the sort
of a nation which Washington
had in mind. Until that time
when greater attention is paid
to our churches, there will be
the continued lack of leadership
for the young people, that lead
ership which could do 50 much
to mold their lives and guide
them along happier and richer
paths. We cannot expect them
to learn the real blessings of
life unless we are willing to help
lead them.
2. What we need most is a college
for politicians through which
they in the future would be re-
quired to go before becoming Of
ficers of our government.
3. What we need most is group
of congressman who would voice
their opinions.
4. I think one great need of our
country is for men in office who
have the good of the people at
heart rather then greed and
graft.
5. What we need most is a clean
up of this country of all graft
and crime so that America would
be safe place to live n.
6. Do you not think we need New
Deal in line with the lecture you
recently gave on the subject.
z. What we need more than ever
is to live according to the Golden
Rule.
Mrs. Mildred Dolson will be the
guest soloist for the service.

Minnesota Railroad and Ware

Up Matter

(By Martin w. Odland, Of the Min
nesota Railroad and Warehouse
Commission.)
st. Paul, March 1.-THE Mime
sofa Railroad and Warehouse Com
mission had under consideration
last week a new grading of barley
recently imposed by the Federal
Grain inspection Bureau, as a re-
suit of which the farmers of Min
nesota and the Northwest are get
ting from two to five cents less per
bushel for barley than they OBJ
tanned before. Barley, formerly
classified as No. and No. 2 Spec
ial, is now branded as SAMPLE
Grade = Scabby," notwithstanding
the fact that the quality of the
grain is essentially the same as 1t
has been since pioneer days.
All three of the Commissioners
Frank w. Matson, c. j. Laurisch
and Knud Welfald-are united in
their opposition to the new ruling
of the Federal Grain Inspection
Bureau.
"It appears decidedly .noppor-
tune time to further penalize our
farmers" said the Commission in
a letter to Henry G. Wallace, Sec
rotary of Agriculture in President
Roosevelt's Cabinet" and we there
fore request that you institute
prompt investigation as to the ne
cessity of this new grading pro
vision, with a view of abrogating
whatever order has been issued in
the premises, and request the op-
portunity to appear before you with
records as to just what loss is &C
cruing to our farmers, should you
feel such conference necessary be
fore the above requested action can
reasonably be taken"
Before taking action, Commits
sioners Laurisch, Wefald and Mat
son went over reports from grain
inspectors with the Minnesota

SEATTLE DETECTIVE
SCORES PROSECUTOR
Holds Buffalo Official Is Unfair
in Request for Mans
Extradition.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated PreSS.
BUFFALO, N. Y, June 10.-Wesley
N. Miller, captain of detectives in Seat
tie, Wash, today accused District At
torney Walter c. Newcomb of being
utterly unfair" in his attitude toward
request that John C. Stockman, for
mer Buffalonian, now reported living
in Seattle, be brought here to be pros
ecuted on an 11-year-old indictment
pending against him.
Miller, who came to Buffalo a week
ago to present evidence to Newcomh
which he claims proves Stockman is
living in Seattle under the name of
John G. Stevenson, prominent polit-
1cally, particularly denounced the dis
trict attorneys questioning of a man
who started court action to force
the extradition of Stockman. The man
Albert F. Abendschien, accused Stock
man OF swindling him out of $3.50 in
a stock transaction in 1922. His testi-
mony resulted in a Supreme Court or
der, directing Newcomb to show cause
why Stockman should not be extradited
and prosecuted
Newcomb has refused to move for the
extradition of Stockman, claiming the
evidence against the man now living
in Seattle is insufficient to warrant
his being brought back He also charged
that the fight against the Seattle man
was part of a political feud in that
city and that Abenschien admitted to
him that many of the things he alleged
in his petition were told to him by
Miller and by Seattle newspaper man.
The district attorney has asked the
court to dismiss the old indictment.
The original indictments against
Stockman charge him with grand lar
ceny in connection with the alleged
swindling of Raymond B. Hurlburt of
Binghamton and Mrs. Clara S. Measer
Of Williamsville in stock deals.

history had reached its peak 1t will
be pointed out that whenever such a
crisis has occurred elsewhere in the

"The fact remains" Senator johnson
intervened, that it has come at a time
when Congress cannot act intelligently
on it."
Here Robinson broke in to say:
If withdrawal will enable Congress
to go forward with adjournment shall
not hesitate to advise him (the Presi-
dent) to withdraw 1t. But If it is the
first of series of moves to PROSTATE his
program shall not so advise him.
