from New York to meet q violent
death within two days.
A note pointing to suicide, &C
cording to officials, was found
in the Hitchcock Dormitory room

from the tracks in Thetford and
around an adjoining field indi-

while, were investigating the mys-
terious death yesterday Of Francis
Grose, 81, Amherst College fresh

the ice of the Connecticut River
beneath q 40-foot-high railroad
bridge.
The body Of young Straus was

press train which went by at

train reported an accident.
The spot where the body was

Says U. S. Can't Bar
Radicals Al Howard

WASHINGTON, May 81 CAMP. -
The United States Government has no
right to prohibit the use of the buildings
of Howard University for any purpose,
and therefore cannot refuse Communistic
groups permission to meet there, Solicitor
Nathan R.. Margold reported to the Sen
ate last week. The Solicitor pointed out
that since this was the case, the Interior
Department has no right to proceed with
Its Investigations of alleged communicate
activities at the university.
"The investigation of the meetings held
last May apparently were predicated on
the belief that the Secretary of the
interior possessed visitorlal powers over
the affairs of Howard University, the
opinion read: "Since such powers are linn
tied to the control of the ex .:enditures of
the funds, there exist grave doubts wheth--
er any investigations of the university, ex
cept IN this limited field, may properly
be made by the department"
The opinion had been requested by the
Senate after Senator Hastings (Republi-
can, of Delaware) had introduced resol4
ton asking investigation of a series of
alleged radical speeches made at series
Of conferences on the economic conditon.

motion to expunge from the Record
certain remarks inserted therein by
Representative Martin of Colorado.
Mr.. Martin under leave to extend
his remarks in the Record included
among his own remarks certain quo
tations from remarks previously made
in the House by other members.
The Record did not show which
were his own remarks and which were
the quotations. Under the leave to
extend he did not have the right
to quote other members statements.
In an effort to correct the Record
the motion was made on the Republic
can side to eXpunge all of his re-
marks. The motion was defeated 239
to 115.
Considerable heat developed on the
question and as result Representa-

course.
Representative Mccormack of Mas

into the situation when he asked
unanimous consent to extend his re-
marks on the subject of the Republic

object which he did.
Representative Maverick of Texas
then added to the hilarity by asking
unanimous consent to extend his re-

Smell stood his ground, however.
and objected to Mavericks request
even though he had to object to his
own eulogy as proposed by Maverick.

Then we must fall back upon the

AS this is written debate Is in pro-
gress upon the Frazier-Lemke bill.
When the bill first came up for con-
sideration on the motion Of Repre-
sentative Lemke, the House voted 22O
to 1853 to discharge the Rules Com
mittee and to consider the bill.
A rule was then adopted providing
for six hours debate.
Leading supporters of the Frazier
Lemke bill pointed to the large ma
jority voting to discharge the COM
mittee as an indication that the bill
has good chance of passage in the
House. The vote on passage of the
bill will undoubtedly have been held
before this letter appears in print.

When to Plant Perennial Seeds.

Most seeds are planted best in May.
That gives the plants time to grow
big and strong and carry through the
winter with the least loss.
Seeds. which are very slow, as peony,
phlox, bleeding heart, gas plant, rose,
spirea, trollius, viola, yucca and most
rock plants are best planted in the
late fall or even in winter in boxes
and put outside. Delphiniums and
columbine terminate best as soon as
they are ripe. These will get through
the winter easily with a little protec-
ton.
Plant the seeds in boxes or pots in
loose priable soil. AS soon as the
tree leaves appear, prick out and
plant them in a frame about two
inches apart. When they crowd,
transplant them to bed about 6-S
inches apart and leave them there
till spring. Then you can dig them
with clump of dirt and put them in
the border where you want them.
Leaving them in the bed, you have
it easier to protect them with ever
green boughs or hay or a lathscreen.
The latter is the best as you can
use it from the time you plant the
seeds until you set the plants in the
border.

OBSERVATIONS
BY Cong. ELMER J. RYAN

The Deficiency bill of 1886, carry
ing the sum of approximately $1,425,-
100000 for work relief, passed the
House on Monday. May II, by vote
of BAL to 38.
Previous to the vote on final pas
sage of the Deficiency bill, vote
was had upon the Republican motion
made by Mr.. Taber who moved to re-
commit the bill to committee for the
purpose of amending it so that the
federal relief monies would be allo-
Gated to and disbursed by the states
and local governmental subdivision
would be required to contribute at
least 25 per cent toward proposed ex-
penditures. The motion further pro-
vided that the money should be ex-
pended through non-partisan board.
This motion was defeated by vote
of 2s7 to 80. The writer was one Of
those voting for the motion.
AS stated in previous letters it has
been the view of the writer that
local village, city, county and town.
ship officials should have greater
portion of the responsibility and au-
thority in the distribution of relief
monies. Knowing local conditions and
needs they are in a better position
to expend relief funds wisely, eco
nomically and efficiently than are
federal authorities.

Spring
Now Spring is here with buds and
birds,
The boys and girls from school
Will cross the river to the wood,
For Towering is the rule.
The piping frogs will hush their call
And still as shadows be,
When children cry to find at last
The frail anemone.
The viOlets along the creek
Lead straight to Linder's spring;
There's water from an old tin cup
To quench the thirst they bring.
Let children gather blooms in May
But for a woman grown
1t is a very foolish thing
To hunt for flowers alone!

Flowers.

The problem in landscaping and
flower planting for the woman who
wants garden beauty the first year is
often a difficult one. Happily, it is
not problem without solution.
If you have a lawn and a chicken
tight fence about the home, the prob
lem is simplified. Many ANIMALS can
be planted to provide bloom until
late frosts. But what if the lawn pro-
vides no safety from farm livestock?
