vey \ CONSERVATIVES WIN OPENING MINNESOTA POLITICAL SKIRMISH Muster 38 Votes in Senate to Deprive Henry Arens of Appointing Power St. Paul, Jan. 7.—(?}—Minnesota’s first Farmer-Labor governor prepared. to assume office Wednesday as the outgoing executive, Theodore Christ-; janson, gave his farewell speech. The legislature had arranged to meet in joint session about noon, the time set for Governor Floyd B. Olson to take his oath of office and for Mr. Christianson to give his last address in the state capitol. It was to be the second day's bus- | iness of the new legislature, which yesterday opened for a 90-day ses- sion, The conservatives, in the first brush of statesmanship, mustered 38 votes in the senate to take from Henry Arens, the new lieutenant governor, the usual privilege of naming the im- portant rules committee and proceed- ed to organize the senate along their own lines. Farmer-Labor members of the sen- ate made a determined fight against the proposal but they could get to- gether only 29 votes. The conservatives put through a resolution naming a rules committee that contained a majority of their faction and then elected their candi- date for president pro-tem, Senator Adolph S. Larson, Sandstone. The regulars immediately took steps to prevent selection of any ad- ditional committees by the lieuten- ant governor until the rules commit- tee can formulate regulations for the session, Oscar A. Swenson, speaker of the house, appointed Harry Allen, Man- kato, as his desk clerk, deferring oth- er appointments after a resolution by Rep. Emil S. Youngdahl, Minneapolis, was introduced and tabled until Wednesday. It would prevent any member from appointing any relative to the list of the house’s permanent employes this year. Swenson was authorized to appoint 30 employes, including a reading clerk, a secretary, a steno- grapher, and messengers, pages, and gallery keepers.

Speaking by telephone from Wash- ington Tuesday night, he addressed the National Automobile Chamber of Commerce as follows: “The despondency of some people over the future is not borne out by the statistical evidence or prospects in respect to the automobile industry. I am informed by the department of commerce that despite the depres- sion you have manufactured and sold during the year 1930 over 3,500,000 new automobiles. “This certainly means that we have been cheerful in the use of our auto- mobiles; I do not assume they are being used for transportation to the poorhouse. While I am aware that many people are using the old auto- mobile a little longer, it is obvious that they are still using it and that it is being worn out. Altogether, the future for the industry does not war- rant any despondency.” Will Hold Last A. C.

The | BY GOVERNMENT IS Linthicum Describes Indianap-| olis Institution as ‘Trap for Policemen’ Washington, Jan. 7.—(?)—A dingy room at 1213 East 22nd street, In- dianapolis, engaged the attention of congress Tuesday as Representative Linthicum, of Maryland, charged the place was a “government-owned speakeasy,” used to trap policemen. The leader of the house wet bloc made his accusation on the floor dur- ing debate on a deficiency bill which carries more than half a million for increasing the prohibition bureau’s | staff. He read a letter from Director ‘Woodcock stating the government paid rent for the place but that no liquor was dispensed. It was opened, said the letter, following many complaints of collusion between policemen and speakeasy operators. Another letter from Russell B, Har- rison, Indianapolis, charged the gov- ernment with “buying and selling booze in order to trap policemen.” The Linthicum attack was the opening effort of a wet move to de- feat the prohibition bureau deficiency appropriation. Tle Maryland Dem- ‘ocrat told the house if the fund were approved it would go to “establish- ment of these speakeasies for the purpose of entrapping citizens and police officers throughout this coun- try.” The Woodcock letter read by Lin- thicum said in part: “The records do show the allowance of a small sum of money for the rental of this particular room, which payment, I am advised, is entirely lawful. A place for making such contracts is apparently necessary in the development of these cases of conspiracy between public officials and those who violate the law. You may rest assured, however, that they will never be used as a place in which the law itself is violated.” Operation of the place yielded a federal case which ended in the re- cent conviction of six Indianapolis policemen. Linthicum previously had charged the policemen were “posi- tively persuaded and enticed into the crime,” and were convicted on evi- dence of federal operatives who “were, in fact, their accomplices.” Montanan Is Elected Minot Bank President!

Whether a desire for jewels once belonging to Mary and said to have been buried with Bothwell or a feel- ing of revenge maintained through four centuries by descendants of those he wronged motivated the violation police would not say, pending investi- gation of the strange incident. Police yesterday found the sarco- phagus, contaiging the remains of the Earl, who was the fourth of his line and who died insane in a castle in Zealand April 14, 1578,. broken open and its contents disarranged. There was no evidence any jewels were found, by the disturbers, or indeed anything of great value was buried with Bothwell. ‘The life of the Earl of Bothwell was hardly less tempestuous than that of Mary, who finally was beheaded by into whose power she fell.
