St. Paul, Jan. 17.—Whether the state foréstry division—long neglect- ed—is to become the pet of the Min- nesota legislature, is a question un- decided. An appropriation of $2,000,000 sugfested for the reconstruction' of burned over districts in northeastern Minnesota, and the ‘‘economy pro- gram” of certain members of the leg- |islature may cause a clash. .What will result {s uncertain. Governor Burnquist in his message urged a re- construction program and elaborate meagures to prevent future fires of this sort. Whether the state forestry division may be placed under the board of public domain suggested by the gov- ernor, is another question, the board of public domain, as suggested by the governor, would have control only of division, under existing laws, has ex- tensive control over all lands. The forest fire relief commission, appointed by the governor shortly, after the diastrous fires of last Oc- tober, = estimated that 1,600,000 square miles were affected by the fire. Property losses were estimated at from $20,000,000 to 25,000,000. The prognostication is that spring BLO0DY FIGHTING -| will arrive early. IN SERBIAN ATTACK PAN comrflms POINT. (By United Press.)

REPUBLICAN LEADER CHALLENGES PROBE Washington, Jan. 17.—Republican Leader Mann challenged the demo- crats of the house to investigate ex- penditures of the war and navy de- program. He asserted there had been partments and the war time huiiding “rotten frauds, intelligent mistakes and conscious actions,” and pledged an investigation under republican control in the next house. “Why don't you cause the investi- gation now?” said Mr. Mann. ‘“Are you afraid of what you will find? Certainly these investigations should be started now and not wait until we come into control of the house and be accused of partisan purpose.” CAPTAIN HERBERT GOING TO CHICAGO WITH THE SHEVLINS Capt. John M. Herbert, who recent- 1y returned from the military service, will leave next Monday for Chicago to reside.
