Press) ‘Washington, Junet 13.---Collection of “Promissary Notes,” issued by some enthusiastic politicians before, during and after the republican con- vention last June is causing trouble in republican party circles. These “Promissary Notes™” were in fact vague assurances of federal jobs. They were not made in a way to vio- late the Federal Corrupt Practices Act, ‘but apparently many workers took them to be good and are now holding the makers for payment. That, in substance, is the bottom of the situation which was exempli- fled in the quarrel between Senator Frelinghuysen of New Jersey and At- torney General Daugherty over pat- ronage. 2 As explained by republican politic- ians here, too many promised were made to too many persons. These promises were mosty vague and were born perhaps of the enthusiasm of the moment. But now it develops that a good many more folks have expecta- tions than there are places. Daugherty, as President Harding’s chief political advisor, has been more onf less in charge of the pie counter. He has been of course in sole charge of the many federal judgeships, dist- rict Attorneyships and United States Marshalships which come under the department of justice. He has in some cases appointed men whose se- lection was a great disappointment to other republican politicians, who had given other candidates assurances. . After it become known that Fre- linghuysen and, Daugherty had hot words in Daugherty’s office over New Jersey patronage, many republican members of congress began to discuss their differences with Daugherty. SECOND SEMESTER OPENS FOR LUTHERAN SCHOOL The Frohn Lutheran Summer school will enter upon its sec- one semester on Tuesday morning June 21. The school has been in op- eration the past siX weeks and en- joyed a steady growth, so that at present it has an enrollment of 34.

The courses offered for the second term are the following: ‘The structure of the New Testament; catechism; Bible 'History; choral singing; theory of music; calisthenics: and elementary English, German and Norwegian. Be- midji children will be transported to school by automobiles free of charge. At present the schoeol is under the di- rection of Rev. Frenk; for the second semester, however, additional help will arrive from the River Forest Teachers college: The public is in- vited to inspect and patromize the school, which the district school sup- erintendent has pronounced ‘“‘the best of its kind.” TURPENTINE PLANT i RESUMES OPERATIONS The Bemidji Turpentine plant has resumed operations and Manager R. L. Given advises that the product is now being successfully made, the grade being the finest obtainable anywhere. One ton of stumps produced 12 gallons of turpentine, 30 gallons of creosote and two gallons of liquid smoke. L. B. Cate, who is in charge ofl operations, states that the qual- ity of the turpentine is the best he has seen and that indications were to tha effect that the local plant could ‘be made to produce in large quan- tities a product which may always be marketed., Some changes in the plant are re- quired before it is run to full capa- .city and these will be made at an early date and operations resumed at full blast.

The camp is on what is known as Birchcroft and is now owned by Thomas Porte. It is on the south west corner of Lake Movil and is an ideal place for a camp. It is expected that about sixty scouts will go into camp today and this number will be increased Thurs- day when the scouts who are mem- bers of the Juvenile band return from their trip to International Falls. ‘Wiith Scout Commissioner Mikkel- son there aje three scout masters in charge of the scouts.

One People, One Flag (l mmmi s BOYSCOUTSGO [ oemmmiste Minnesota Congressmen Op- pose Duty on Finished Lum-, ber Entering Country (By United Press) Washington, Jupe 13.---Repubji~ can differences over the tariff would be paid before President Harding to- day. 'Minnesota republican con- gressman secured an appointment with the president at 2 p. m. to pro- test to him against the proposed 25 per cent ad valorem today on finished lumber. “No member of the delega- tion desires to have a duty placed on lumber and we will do all in our power to prevent, such.action,” rep- resentative Newton of Minnesota said. Donald D. Conn representing the northwestern lumber dealers said farm organizations and various busi- ness enterprises had added their pro- test to those of the lumbermen and a movement in opposition ‘to the re- publican tariff program came to light teday when it become known that representative Young of North Da- kota, member of the ways and means committee would oppose some of the articles in the proposed tariff bill. Young recently fought the Long- worth proposal which would have put the new tariff rates into effect as soon as the bill was approved. He will fight a proposal to reintroduce the Longworth plan immediately fol- lowing the report on the bill. MARION McARDLE OUIZZED ON KABER MURDER TRIAL (By United Press) Cleveland, Ohio, June 13.---Marion McAardle was to be grilled by police today in an effort to substantiate a concession made by Mrs. Emma Cola- vito, the fourth woman to be charg- ed with the murder of Daniel Kaber, July, 1919. Th confession, county Jrosecutor Stanton says, accuses Ma- rion of taking an active part in plan- ning and carrying out the murder iplot iystead of being a victim of ¢ir- cumstances as heretofore belleved. Marion was .only 17, just a year out of high school when the mfurder was committed. ' Mrs. Colavito heretofor known as the Sandusky mid-wife was formally chargéd® with murder early today after, shy l}fld signed a confes- sion that she hygl hired out to assas- sins for Mrs. Kaber and that in com- pany with these two men she had vis- ited the Kaber home two days before the murder to get the lay of the land.

HOUSE TO VOTE ON PORTER RESOLUTION It Is Thought Senate May Insist on House Passing Knox Resolution (By United Press) Washington, June 13.—Although the house was'scheduled to pass the Porter peace resolution today, ad- ministration officials contended that the problem of establishing relations with Germany was still far from solved. The house is to vote on the Porter resolution which: consists of a declaration of peace late today. Its passage ls assured. If the Porter res- olution is, finally adopted, however, the first difficuliy arises in effecting a settlement between the house and senate. The senate passed the Knox resolution which is much broader than the Porter plan and some senators are expected to insist that the housc accept it. The house Republicans are almost solidly Tesolved on the Porter plan. Even when the peace resolu- tion is put into a form aceptable to both plans of congress, and signed by the president, it will have little more than a psychological form, it is said, in highest administration quarters. There will still remain the questions of: f'Whnt should be done with the American troops in Germany. Whether a separate treaty with Germany is to be negotiated or whether part of the treaty of Ver- sailes is to be adopted.
