Senator Longs Role
As Dictator Tested

New Orleans, Jan. 23.-(R)-sena-
tor Huey p. Longs role as Louisiana
political dictator received another
test In the bitter four-cornered ma
yoralty election Tuesday.
With 800 deputized citizens stand
ing by to preserve order. the city'a
electorate turned out almost en-
masse after . vituperative campaign
In which Senator Long held the CEN
ter Of the state.
Jailings. court injunctions and
threats * military rule, punctuated
BY blistering charges Of corruption
and fraud, combined to make the
campaign one Of the most hectic Ia
New Orleans history.
Long entered the picture when he
broke with Mayor T. eemmes Walms-
ley, leader Of the old regular organ
ixatton. and placed his own ticket IN
the field, headed by John Klorer.
Walmsley, . candidate for reelec-
ton, directed the fun force Of his
regulars against Long, and Francis
williams, independent candidate,
launched m equally stIident attack
against the Louisiana Kingfish. Her.
bert B. Homes, the fourth candidate,
made no active campaign.

County Officers May
Receive CWA Salary

County officials who act as men,
beers Of civil works administration
boards or unemployment committees
are not affected In their right to
collect salary and mileage fees from
the county when they perform work
for the county, according to an opin-
lon by Milton e. Higgins, assistant
attorney general.
County officials are not prevented
by their CWA duties from performing
their county duties at the same
time. Higgins said.
Service As . CWA committeeman
neither adds to nor detracts from the
right Of any given individual to re-
ceive salary and mileage from the
county," Higgins said. THE right to
salary and mileage Is based entirely
upon services to the county and not
to the federal government"

Early Applications
For Auto Tags Asked

A plea for automobile owners to send
in applications for the 1894 plates to
avoid rush Of requests has been
issued by L. H. Mccoy, North Dakota
motor vehicle registrar.
Applications are falling behind, ac-
cording to the registrar, who said
the number received Is about $500 be-
hind for the same period in January,
1888.
THE penalty date Is coming nearer,
and it looks like another rush Of APP
plications In May and June" Mccoy
declared. IT that occurs many will
have to wait for their license plates.
The department can handle from 1000
to $500 applications per day but can
not II owners do not send the applica-
lions to the office. urge Ill who pos
sibly can to apply now"
According to IN opinion by the at
torney general, al fees and penalties
for years previous to 1888 are waived.
This means that motor vehicle owners
can secure licenses for 1884 by paying
the 1894 Tee and any fees and penal
ties due for 1888.

growing belief in some quarters
Tuesday that the death Of Rheta
Wynekoop forever viii remain m IN
solved mystery.
The possibility Of quick legal de-
cision on the question Of the guilt
or innocence OF Rheta's mother-in-
law, DR.. Alice Wynekoop, having been
dissipated for the time being, there
were many persons, both In and out
Of the criminal court who believed
the elderly defendant never again
would face the ordeal Of q trial.
Its just like freeing her." Burdine
Gardner, Of Indianapolis, father Of
the dead Rheta. said in commenting
on Mondays decision by Judge
Joseph B. David to declare . mis-
trial because Of the possibility that
Dr.. Wynn k2op would fall dead before
the eyes d the jury.
II don't believe" Gardner said
that she will ever be tried now, fo1
II her condition Is as bad as they
say 1t is, she won't be any better
next month than she Is today"
The case was continued, mean
while, to the February term Of court
A hint from the prosecution, voiced
by Assistant States Attorney Charles
s. Dougherty. served to strengthen
the belief that DR.. Wynekoop may
never again face . jury.
I'VE agree" he said. with the de-
tense that the summoning Of the
defendant to her maker In the pres
ence Of this court would be q sorry
spectacle. But we maintain It would
be . sorrier spectacle II the murder
for which she was indicted should 60

custer case were completed before
Gov. william LANCER late Monday
after which the governor indicated he
will decide the case this week.
Former Gov. Geo. F. Shafer, repre-
senting Wenzel. termed the charges
against the Workmen's compensation

supported by inconsequenttal EVIL
dence." while Charles A. Verret. as
sistant attorney general, and 8. Z.
Ellsworth, special assistant, contend
ed the record Of testimony taken at =
recent hearing showed sufficient
grounds for removal.
Verret opened the arguments, which
lasted three hours. by declaring the
state does not charge Wenzol with
crime In office, but bases Its case on
his conduct In office. Ellsworth, In
his argument, claimed. however, that
Wenzel's use Of . $50 floor polisher
belonging to the compensation bureau
constituted crime In office and was
q "clear case Of embezzlement."
The governor frequently interrupt
&c Verret and Ellsworth to ask ques-
tions, and on several occasions re-
marked every doubt should resolve it
self In favor Of the defendant. When
Verret argued that Wenzel. by issuing
statements to the press showing the
compensation fund was nearly broke, >
showed unfitness for office, LANCER
commented why should he not make
such statements II the figures are
right?"

Verret said he believed the figures
given by Wenzel were correct but that

state is in financial distress, land II
he does so, he Is unfit for office"
The governor later told verret Il

mony at the hearing showed that
Wenzel solicited an employe Of the
compensation bureau for funds to
