The status of the, investigation was befpre the committee today while the membership wag divided as to the Adesirability of ®ontinuing the pro- gram or ending it as quick as possi- ble. Chairman Brookhart expressed the opinion yesterday that the “objects of the inquiry have heen accompli ed to a large extent” through Mr, Daugherty’s resignation but Senator Wheeler, Democrat, Montana, the} prime mover in the investigatioi de- sired to proceed with the object of cleaning the rottenness he believes has been disclosed around Washing- ton, * « DEmOCRAT ATTACK The attack on Secretary Mellon is described by some of the organization Republicans and others in the cloak- rooms—where the gossip of the in- quiry is illuminating—as merely one step in well-defined plans attribut- ed to Democrats and radical Republi- cans for disintegrating the cabinet, one member at a time. 4 Secretary Denby and Attorney-G2n- eral Daugherty have quit the cabinet within a few weeks as an outgrowth of sensational investigation and gossip > has it that Secretaries Wallace and Hoover are next in line after Mr. Mellon for the same kind of ftreat- ment. ‘The Mellon attack which has been developing for several days reached concrete form during discus- sion in the Senate yesterday of Mr. Daugheérty’s retirement which A in President Coolidge also came in for »a share of unegmplimentary com- nent. ~~ EXHIBITS AT FAIRS URGED Devine Believes That Method Js Best to Advertise N. Gounty exhibits at county fairs in middlewestern states boosting North Dakota are urged by J. M. Devine, ommissioner of immigration. Mr. ‘Devine, who inaugurated the idea ast year, will endeavor to interest nany counties in the. plan this year, - believing that the coming summer will be an opportune time to ad- vertise the state and to secure a good class of people to come to North Dakota farms. Because of lack of funds the state immigration department itself can- not send out exhibits, according to Mr. Devine. He believes that the exhibit method is the hest for tak- ing the value, of North Dakota farms direct to prospective immigrants, and since the state cannot do this he urges that counties do so. The coun- ties will have the advantage of a direct benefit in addition to aiding he state as a wholé, he says. *-OLD EMPLOYERS COMFORT COOK HELD IN JAIL Dickinson, N.

He explained also thatthe board was confronted by the problem of either d building a new high school or cut- ting down the attendance. “ By dou- bling the non-resident tuition the number in the school, it is expected, will be cut down to the capacity of the high school. Otherwise, a new | high school must be built. Superintendent Saxvik, speaking briefly, said that the action of the school board did not mean that it sought to limit school facilities. The board, he said, had a fine spirit to- ward the schools and favored a high standard, as was evidenced by its decision not to cut teachers’ salaries so that Bismarck could continue to have a high class corps of instruct- ors. He did not recommend the cuts, he said, but said he felt that if the burden of taxation was too great for the citizens, as undoubted- ly it had become, the action taken to economize was the best that cotld be taken. He said that no economy could be effected without sacrifice, | but that he was glad to see the school board lead in the movement. The reduced budget will include expense of running the new Roose- velt school. The board and Supt. Saxvik also reduced expenses over (the previous year.
