Cause for Concern

In the hurry of those last hours of the re-
cent legislative session, certain things were
said and done which should have the scrutiny
of the voters in their less-agitated moments.
There was, for example, the charge of Rep.
Edwin Traynor that this session had been the
most corrupt in his experience; that in the old
days people offering brides for votes sneaked
around in hotel corridors but that now the prac-
tice is much more open.
Traynor is Republican, but against this
can be matched the testimony of Democrat,
Harry O'Brien of Park River.
Mr.. O'Brien wrote column for publication
by many newspapers during the session in
which he assumed to give the "low-down' on
various things. In his final effort Mr.. O'Brien
said:
CTR AIDING is EXTENSIVELY IN
DULGED IN AND THIS MAY BE EX-
planned IN A SINGLE SENTENCE, YOU
VOTE FOR OUR BILL AND WE'LL VOTE
FOR YOURS IT'S A MISERABLE GAME
AND IF THE CITIZENS REALLY KNEW
HOW SOME OF THEIR LAWS WERE MADE
THEY WOULD BE VERY SORE INDEED y
Allowing that what Traynor said was in the
heat of debate and that coumnists sometimes
strain little to make their stuff interesting.
these accusations are worthy of notice. This
is particularly SO in view Of the constitutional
provision which says:
"lf any person elected to either house
of the legislative assembly shall offer or
promise to give his vote or influence, in
favor Of or against any measures or propo.
sition pending or proposed to be introduced
into the legislative assembly, in considera.
ton or upon conditions that any other per-
son elected to the same legislative assem-
bly,, will give, or will promise or assent to
give his vote or influence for or against
any other measure or proposition, pending
or proposed to be introduced into such
legislative assembly, the person making
such offer or promise shall be deemed
guilty of solicitation of bribery
The offense is declared punishable by ex.
pulsion, disqualification from office and by
punishment as felony upon conviction in a
civil court. Because Of this, these charges are
not to be taken lightly.
If anything growing out of this legislature
Is to be investigated, this should be fruitful
source OF inquiry and at least two witnesses are
clearly indicated to start the ball rolling.
1t may be that only the naive feel that trad.
ing" is not practiced in our legislature. It may
be, as some contend impossible to stop it. But
at the very least it should not be tolerated
knowingly. We cannot say we have had nc
warning.

ness before United States Steamship
Inspection Service inquiry seeking to
determine the cause of the collision
off the New Jersey coast Thursday
night. Late today the inquiry was
adjourned until Monday.
United States Attorney Martin
Conboy secretly questioned members
of the crews of the vessels at the Fed
eral Building, sending some of the
witnesses afterward to the other in
quiry. He would not comment on
the possibility of grand jury investi-
cation.
Blame for the crash was placed di-
rectly on the steering apparatus by
Capt. Wang, 60-year-old master Of
the Talisman.
"She (the Mohawk was steering
in toward u.s." Capt Edmund Wang
of the Talisman told the United States
Steamship Inspection Board 1T

Couldn't think of a -faring man

Mechanisms Failed.
Then Chief Officer Cort N. Peterson
Of the Mohawk, testified that both the
intricate mechanism controlling the
rudder and the telegraph between
bridge and engine room failed sudden
ly when the two vessels crashed.
The cause Of this disastrous mechani-
cal breakdown remained shrouded in
mystery-but the Mohawk's chief Off
Ger declared he was certain there was
no sabotage.
Another Mohawk officer, Chief Engi-
neer Claud B. Martin, insisted that
to his knowledge there was nothing
amiss with the steering gear. Listed
among the missing before he appeared
at the hearing, Martin testified he
was not on the bridge when the
vessels collided.
The Inflated Mohawk and the
freighter hit with a terrific impact
at right angles, Capt. Wang testi-
fled. There was no warning blast
from the liners whistle, he asserted,
until she was about so feet away and
the collision inevitable.
A member of Capt. Wang's crew,
following him on the stand, differed
materially with the testimony about
the Mohawk's steering apparatus.
Speaking through an interpreter, Sec
ond Oficer Olaf Nannestad asserted

It was asserted, however, that the

The Californian called the Secre-

Storm-ridden Eastern States braced
for fresh onslaught of zero weather
and snow Saturday night.
Floods broadened the sphere Of
misery in North Mississippi. In British
Columbia snowslides wrecked homes
and swelling rivers sent whole COM
munities fleeing to higher ground.
Bitter gales lashed over Europe,
sweeping small fishing craft to sea
and damaging trees and buildings in
Britain. The Norwegian ship Ganga
was blown out of Blyth Harbor and
disappeared; the Norwegian steamer
Roydo was wrecked on the Western
Scottish coast.
In Central America the tempera-
ture broke to a. degrees above zero at
Tugucigalpa, Honduras, and two
deaths were attributed to the un-
precedented cold. Warning of an ap-
preaching hurricane emptied the bay
at La Ceiba of all vessels, which
headed for the open sea.
New Storm on Way.
Pennsylvania, scarcely recovered
from a 40-hour blizzard, got some re-
lief from the severe cold, but pre-
pared for new storm reported on its
way to the central and eastern parts
of the State. Heavy SHOWS fell in
Northern Pennsylvania. Snow fell
generally over West Virginia.
Light but steady snow fell most Of
the day in the Chicago area and In
diana, while temperatures ranged in
the los and 20s over most of the
Middle West and were due for a drop
toward the zero neighborhood.
New England temperatures, just
under freezing, anticipated 6 to 10
degree temperatures by Sunday.
Two brothers were found frozen to
death at Lake Millinocket, Me. A

Asked About Lifeboats.
"Why didn't you lower your life

want our boats lowered" was his reply
The radio log was examined and nc
such message was found and Capt.
Wang declared he had used his. own
judgment in not lowering the boat.
Capt. Karl C. Nelson of the In
spection service was openly critical Of
the Talisman's failure to bring in any
survivors and because the freighter
backed away after the collision.
Capt. Wang declared repeated
shouts to the Mohawk bridge failed
to bring any response and that, there
fore, he ordered his vessel aStern.

Joseph B. Weaver of Washington
D. c., head of the Steamboat Inspec-
ton Service, questioned the witness
about the possibility of the Talisman
having struck the Mohawk more than
once.
Capt. Wang was certain there was
only one collision.
Friends of relatives of the victims
crowded Bellevue Morgue to identify
bodies of victims.
Rescue craft continued their search
off the New Jersey coast in the al
most futile hope that other survivors
could be found.
Edwin johnson, quartermaster of
the Talisman, testified he was at the
wheel when the vessels collided.
There was no wild swing by the
Talisman just before the crash?"
