Secretary Stimson, urging the house ways and means committee to give its approval to the one-year sus- pension of inter-governmental debts, said its purpose had been to stop a financial panic in Germany which had “threatened to spread to the business centers of Europe and this country.” ‘ His appearance was delayed until the committee disposed of a request that Representative McFadden of Pennsylvania,. the Republican who ‘Tuesday charged in the house that President Hoover had favored inter- national bankers, be refused a hear- ing. Representative Treadway, adminis- tration Republican, made the request, but withdrew it after others objected. Stimson repeated much of the testimony given Tuesday by Under Secretary Mills of the treasury. Mills retold his story Wednesday to the senate finance committee. Open Inquiry Friday The senate finance committee pre- faced its moratorium hearing with the announcement it would open its inquiry next Friday into sales of for- eign securities in this country as ask- “ed by Senator Johnson, California. “Almost the whole attention -of the, congress was riveted to.the debt holi- day and its background companion, debt revision. ‘The house debate ‘Tuesday brought into the record even mention of impeachment for Presi- dent Hoover. Freed of any party stand, follow- ing their consciences or the wills of constitutencies, the Democrats nad the momentary privilege of calling for defense of Hoover from Repub- lican attack. O'Connor of New York demanded that someone answer an hour-long denunciation of the presi- dent by Pennsylvania's Republicaa Representative McFadden, chairman of the banking committee under the Republican rule. It was a newcomer to Republican ranks who took up the cudgels then, Chiperfield of Illinois. To Hoover's Defense “Let him show that we have a president who is unworthy of occupy- ing that- high office or let him go from this chamber as a foul traducer of the cheracter of an honest man,” was his shouted reply to McFadden. 1 | ‘Attention, Men’ Associated Prees Photo Student officers in training at South Dakota State college, Brook. ings, click their heele with extra smartness when Marjorie White, honorary colenel of the R. 0.

Lenz and Oswald Jacoby in a marathon test of rival systems of contract bridge. ‘The lead was accumulated during the seventh session of play which de- veloped much argument as to whether each side was using its own system as stipulated and agreed. Eight rubbers were played and each team won four. But the Culbertsons converted deficit of 15 points into a plus. With virtually one-third of the match—48 rubbers—finished the Cul- bertsons have won 23 rubbers, two less than their rivals. The plus of the Culbertsons for the series and for the seventh session is explained largely by the fact the rep- resentatives of the “official” system have lost more by sets, especially when vulnerable. Earlier in the se- ties Lenz and Jacoby often went down deliberately. ‘This policy has ceased paying dividends for them. It cost the Culbertsons points also after one @ m. Wednesday.

With prac- tically nothing but the dragged-out president pro-tempore issue to en- gage it, the senate chamber also was free to talk itself out on debt matters. ‘Asks Construction Of Dam on Des Lacs Washington, Dec. 16.—(?)—Numer-; ous newly introduced bills dealing with western problems Wednesday were before congress.

A few months later, business start- ed to pick up and in a very short time it was back to normal and we had good business conditions, until late in 1929. ries feel confident that within next few months business will be back almost to normal. I am sure that business will come back more rapidly than it did in 1921, because the dollar has @ much greater value than it has wad for the past 15 years.” cording to the petitioners, insure honest elections and prevent whole-, sale fraud, possible under the present ballot law.

SPAIN PLANS BILL TO EXPEL JESUITS iNew Cabinet Says Nation Will Not Follow Russian Pat- | tern, However Madrid, Dec. 16.—(#)—The new re- public of Spain will not follow the Russian pattern as it works out its of economic reconstruction, a to members of the new cab- linet formed Tuesday by Premier Man- {uel Azana. One of its first acts is expected to be the introduction of a bill in the national assembly for the expulsion of certain religious orders, particularly the Jesuits, and the nationalization of their property, as provided in the new constitution. But on the economic side, it will at- tempt to blaze its own trail, | “We have examined the Russian ex- periment, and found it inapplicable to Spain and Spaniards,” said Indalecio Prieto,. former finance minister who ‘was chosen minister of public works in the new cabinet. ‘The new cabinet has been approved by President Alcala Zamora and it will go before the national for ratification Thursday. The first preoccupation of the pro- visional government which organized the early stages of the republic, was its effort to balance the budget.

Never were the press agents of each system so busy. A “triumph” for one method of reaching a game bid would be followed by an expose of the awful failure of the other to contract for something as it should have. Arguments about each side depart- ing: from its principles were made at the bridge table and in post-mortems. Lenz said Culbertson was bidding four-card minor suits farst in pref- erence to five-card majors. “Not that I care,” added Lenz, “but he kicked about my stuff and I play everything absolutely to the pip.” There came a Culbertson two-bid. Jacoby that partner had note regarded it as “forcing” and responded whatever. Ossie was proved wrong. The Culbertson two is not forcing when there is a part score and two will result in game. ‘Try ’Em Yourself Here are two hands that cost Lenz ape Jacoby points; each side vulner- le: Leng (North)— Spades—8 765 43 (Continu2d on page seven) Ole Eielson Is Laid To Rest at Hatton Hatton, N.

We hear the Democrats mumbling a lot about ‘fid- dling while Rome burns’ but notwith- standing all of that kind of talk, the President's program is before congress and if there is any fiddling being done during the conflagration, con- gress is doing it.” Hurley. spoke at the last session of the Republican national committee which Tuesday selected Chicago as the 1932 convention city. He shrug- ged off criticism of the president and “I shall not try to read, much less answer, all the criticisms of me and my associates. Else this office might as well be closed for any other busi- ness.” Has Had a Program Taking this line, the war secretary devoted practically his entire speech Hoover since circumstances first brought about. the egonomic upheaval. “From the very beginning the presi- dent has had a program, not only for the meeting of temporary emergen- cies, but also for the future. . . This nation has passed through 15 depres- sions in the last century. Never in our history has a president been called upon to direct the nation’s commerce, industry and banking; to funds for the care of the unemployed; fects of the depression; to mobilize public opinion and the economic forces of the nation for its recovery. All these things have been done by he present chief executive of the na- tion. e “Throughout the depression the president has been doing the work that. should properly fall upon the leaders of industry, commerce and banking In President's Lap In all previous disturbances finance has had its intrepid leader or leaders. Today we hear leaders of finance shouting for leadership but presenting very little evidence of that quality in their own establishments. They fall back on the president of the United States—throw all their problems onto his lap and throw up their hands and shout ‘save us.’” He mentioned the president's inter- national actions, and their criticism by Democrats, who “seem to see in all of these things something approach- ing ‘entangling alliances.” “If they would criticize intelligent- ly,” he added, “they would say that we became entangled with about 15 years ago; that this en- tanglement came about under a Democratic administration; that the Republicans stopped the Democrats from further entangling us in Europe by defeating our entrance into the League of Nations. The debts the na- tions owe the United States were made by Democrats. “Up to this hour,” he continued, “every emergency that has confronted the nation during this period of stress has been promptly, courageously, and inteligently met by the president.” Immediately after the Hurley ad- dress, the committee formally in- creased the number of delegates to, the 1932 convention to 1,154, as com- pared with 1,089 in 1928, It also approved June 14 as the date for the convention to begin at Chi- jcago for what friends of the presi- dent confidently expect to result in his renomination.

The dead are Myrtle Halberg, 14, Milaca high school sophomore, and her sister, Alice Halberg, 16, junior, whose parents, Mr. and Mrs. Gust ae live six miles north of Mi- a. Annie Lamprecht, 19, high school junior, was believed dying in a Prince- ton hospital. She was burned badly about the face, hands, neck, should- er and back after a vain effort to save her room-mates. Physicians at a Princeton hospital, to which Miss Lamprecht was remov- ed, said amputation of her’ hands may be necessary. She is the daugh- ter of Mr. and Mrs. August Lam- Precht, residing seven miles south of Milaca. Miss Lamprecht and the younger Halberg girl were sleeping when sud- denly an explosion occurred while Alice Halbert was pouring kerosene in the small wood stove preparatory to making breakfast. Awakened By Blast Awakened by the blast, Miss Lam- Precht noticed her room-mate ablaze Shastra 4 eves pee jumped from er and tugged at the sister as she did so. eee, Meanwhile, the flames gradually were sweeping through the room to- ward the door. Miss Lamprecht took the bfankets from the bed and wrapped them around Alice, mean- yee calling to Myrtle to open the jor, The two started toward the door but a sheet. of flame soon cut off their escape, so they changed their course toward the window. “Get the window open,” Miss Lamp- recht shouted as she half-carried the blazing girl in her arms, disregarding the flames which crept around her own body. But the flames ignited the clothing of the youngest girl and she collapsed before she reached the window. The Lamprecht girl managed to reach the window with her roommate, She plunged her fist through the ;glass but as she did so, the girl to the floor. Still unmindful of the flames which by this time had enveloped the entire room, she attempted to raise the Hal- berg girl to the window. Workmen See Flames Nick Swanson, while on his way te work, saw the blazing upper part of the Elmer Gardiner home. Hearing the screams of the Lamprecht girl, he ran for a ladder which he knew was rt-|kept a few yards from the Gardiner home. Climbing up the ladder as the flames were shooting from the win- dow, he reached the trapped girls. He seized Miss Lamprecht, who was un- conscious, and carried her to safety. The Milaca fire department arrived at the scene as Swanson carried the girl down the ladder. The fire fighters, unable to enter the room either through the second floor door or the window because of {the shooting flames, poured streams \of water into the room. : ‘The blaze was checked in a few minutes and firemen entered the room. The two girls were on the floor, burned to death. Mr. and Mrs. Gardiner and several children, meanwhile, ran from the house but were helpless to aid in res- cuing the girls. H. T.
