was Clifford James who discussed
bills which have been before the
state legislature. The meeting,
Monday evening, May 1, will be
at the home of Mrs. o. A. Knud-

Proving that clubwomen are
community spirited, members of
the Twentieth Century group
sponsored an exhibit of the work
of contemporary Minnesota ar
lists last week in the high school,
to which the public was invited.
Six hundred persons registered
during the five days in which the
exhibit was on display, of which
354 were grade school pupils and
the rest were high school students
and adults.
The club held it's semi-monthly
meeting and annual guest day
Friday afternoon at the high
school and informal talks on the
pictures and the artists were Civ
en- by Mrs. F. H. Anthony, art
chairman of the club and Mrs. L.

scriptions of the pictures which
had been sent out by the Fine
Arts department of the state fed

at the showing was Cameron

Hilltop House" was most favor

ment. Of the three examples of
portraiture, Elof Wedin's "Self
Portrait was perhaps most adj
mired although the delicate colors
in John Huseby's Portrait of a
Grip were especially pleasing,
and Sally" by Laura Booram
attracted much attention. Dewey
Atkinson, who is more or less
well-known to a number of Red
wood Falls residents exhibited a
striking example of brilliant
color in his hillside Gardens;
Louise Kelly's "Cape Cod" land

Canadian Canoe Trip
Described by Bovey

Members of the National Geo.
graphic Society went last night for
a trip to the north woods.
Although seated at Constitution
Hall they were initiated into the
secrets of the Canadian woods by
the camera of Martin X. Bovey in
an illustrated lecture, "By Canoe
to Canada's Rainbow End"
The lecture was based on canoe
trip taken by Mr.. Bovey, two COM
panions and two Indian guides over
some 600 miles of remote river
system in Central Ontario.
Besides ample views of the wild
scenery, the movie film depicted
wildlife in its native haunts-moose.
rare water fowl, otter, great horned
owls and others.
The daily life of a typical family
group of OjibWay Indians also was
filmed by Mr.. Bovey.
At the remote Hudson Bay trading
post town Of Ogaki on the Albany
River Mr.. Bovey's party found that
mail was delivered three times a
year. Here also the party found
enough civilization flourishing to
get their clothes washed by a squaw
and haircuts at the hands of the
post managers wife.
The greatest discomfort of the
trip. Mr.. Bovey told his audience,
were the swarms Of mosquitoes and
black flies.

Engineering questions also con-

He said he had not completed his

Gov. OConor stressed that the

that he felt it necessary to interfere
until it can be demonstrated that
the roadbed-highway plan is feas-
ible and wise.
Possibility arose after the Gov

Two Plead Guilty
To Robbery CHARGES

Two young men. suspected of being
the shotgun bandits whose actions
terrorized local shopkeepers for
several weeks, pleaded guilty to
charges of robbery and were held
for grand jury action under $25 900
bond each when arraigned before
United States Commissioner Need
ham c. Turnage today.
The men, William G. Wright. 21,
whose address was given as Airing
ton, Va, and Albert E. Smith, 80,
Of no fixed address, were identified
last week by a number of the victims.
More than seven instances of rob-
berry by a bandit armed with a
sawed-of shotgun were recorded in
recent weeks. One case, in which
two clerks in an Arlington CVa)
drug store succeeded in routing the
bandit after wrestling his shotgun
from him. was instrumental in OBJ
tanning the arrest of the two men.
Wright was captured in New York

how far they reflect accurately the

that the highest authorities here do

House Aides Seek 10 Bar
Retroactive Salaries Tax

Legislative counsel for the House
is making preliminary studies to-
ward drafting a measure to prevent
retroactive collection of Federal
taxes on salaries and securities Of
certain State agencies, it was said
today by Chairman Doughton,
Democrat, of North Carolina of the
Ways and Means Committee.
The committee, he added, hopes
to take up the legislation next week.
A measure to effect this prohibi-
ton was asked by President Roose-
welt during the last week in a mes
sage suggesting statutory authorize
ton for reciprocal taxation to all
future Federal, State and local Sc
curities and salaries. In any event,
the President said, recent rulings Of
the Supreme Court make 1t manda-
tory for the Treasury to collect on
certain State salaries and securities
unless corrective legislative action
Is taken, he said.
The Ways and Means Committee
yesterday approved a bill to codify
the tax laws, the first real codifica-
ton since 1874.

Hopkins
Continued From First Pege.)

Senator Tydings, he argued that be-
hind the effort to eliminate him was
a group of "higher-ups."
Il found my name at the top of
list of prescribed Senators" Sena-
tor Gillette said huskily. That list
of prescription was prepared by a
band of men that I have termed
before. and term again, political ter
mites"
Norris Defends Hopkins.
Saying the President should have
the right to select his own advisers,
Senator Gillette added:
Il know If I were President I
would want that right. One of the
last men on earth that I would want
in my cabinet is Harry Hopkins. But
the President wants him and that is
his right. Despite my resentment, I
am going to vote for Mr.. Hopkins.
The vote cast is for the 5000 900
persons in Iowa who support the
President don't want it construed
as approval in any way of Harry
Hopkins conduct"
Mr.. Hopkins was defended by SEN
ator Norris, independent, of Ne
braska, who criticized the Democratic
majority for having rejected pro-
posals last year to forbid political
activity In w. P. A.
1T does not become us now to con-
denim somebody who has followed
the law we enacted" he said.
Debate over the Hopkins nomina-
ton was so lengthy-Senator Holt,
Democrat, of West Virginia alone
spoke for hours-that Majority
Leader Barkley of Kentucky decided
to delay a vote until Monday. He
obtained agreement to permit no
Senator to talk more than 80 min
utes at that time.
Approval Conceded.
Senators Holt and Bridges, Re-
publican, of New Hampshire were
both bitterly critical of Mr.. Hopkins
IN their speeches. Senator Walsh,
Democrat, of Massachusetts said he
would vote for confirmation because
the President is entitled to choose
his own assistants, but added that
there is wide divergence of
opinion" as to whether Mr.. Hopkins
had exonerated himself of the DO
litical charges.
Only Senator Norris came to the
nominees defense during the day,
although Senator Barkley had an
nounced that he, Senator McKellar,
Democrat, of Tennessee, and Sena-
tor Sheppard, Democrat, of Texas,
also would speak in Mr.. Hopkins
behalf.
Even Mr.. Hopkins opponents con-
ceded he would be approved.
About the only other subject the
Senate heard of yesterday was the
anti-lynching bill. Senator Connal-
ly, Democrat, of Texas, who led a
six-week filibuster against this
measure last session, said he and a
Southern bloc were ready to fight
It the same way this year.

planned that the per cent rule
is not a direction to w. P. A. to drop
that portion of its recipients between
now and April, but, on the contrary
is merely a limitation. They said the
bill is based on the hope that from
April to June 80, the end Of the
fiscal year, the opportunities for
private employment on the farms
and in building trades will relieve
the relief load sufficiently to make
the $725 ,000, 900 appropriation ade-
quate.
In further justification of the
measure, Senator Byrnes said that
in January, 1888, when the recession
was on, the automobile industry
closed and the textile industry par
TALLY idle, the number on work re-
lief projects was 100000 This bill,
he said allows for the same number,
/ 900, 900, being on relief rolls next
July, "in summer weather and after
recovery has been under way for IL
months"
AppOrt1Onment Flexible.
The bill authorizes the works
progress administrator to apportion
the funds as he deems appropriate
between April and June 80. With
100000 persons now on the rolls,
the per cent maximum cut prior to
April could be 10000. They hope
employment conditions in March will
enable some relief workers to seek
other jobs.
Senators Byrnes and Adams said
that between February and July in
1896, the relief roll took a drop Of
1856 900. from February total en-
rollment Of 3,035,o00 In the same
period Of 1887. they said, $4,000
went off the rolls.
For this year they quoted Col
Harrington as having figured on a
drop of only 100000 persons from
the relief total by June 30.
In support of the proposed in
vestigation into the needs of those
now on the rolls, Senator Byrnes said
figures were presented showing that
81 per cent of those on projects in
New York State have been on the
rolls since the program started.
Members Of the subcommittee said
it is not contended that the length OF
time on relief reflects degree of need,
but that they felt 1t justified survey
Of the rolls.
Senator Glass. chairman of the
entire committee, said following the
subcommittee's action that he had
intended to suggest a cut in the
amount to $500, 900 900. but I found

Reports were conflicting on
