-' ucctsion of Attorney General
Dangherty to-proceed with his de
partment's investigation of the
charges bronght to light at Chi
cago was at variance with his an
nounced indention of dropping the
case, if the house snw fit to con
duct an investigation or its own.
Called ou last week by the house
to disclose the names of the two
representatives referred to in the
Chicago report, Mr. Dangherly de
clined. He offered to turn evi
dence over to the house, but de
clared that he would suspend the
department's investigation if this
were done, as it would be inad
visable to have two inquiries in
progress at the same time
The house on Wednesday adopt
ed a resolution ' instructing -the
attorney general tot press his in
vestigation with all possible speed
and announcing it would make no
further effort to have the names
of the two house members made
public.
Reversing itself, the house
adopted another resolution, pre
sented by. Representative Garrett,

BILL IS DEFEATED
McNary-Haugen Relief Mea
sure Next to Be Consid
ered in Senate
"...WASHINGTON. March 13.
The senate, despite President
Coolldge's endorsement, refused
today, 41 to 32, to authorize the
proposed loan of $50,000,000 to
farmers of the spring wheat belt
to finance their start in the poul
try, swine and livestock indus
tries. In disposing of the proposal,
carried in the Norbeck-Burtness
bill as the first of several special
agrarian' relief measures, the sen
ate divided along geographical
rather than party lines. The re
sult showed 23 democrats and IS
republicans opposing, and 20 re
publicans, 10" democrats and two
farmer-labor members supporting
the bill. '
Leaders of the farm bloc in
sisted that the result of the fight
for the Norbeck-Burtness bill did
not indicate - the senate's senti
ment toward remaining relief
bills.
..Many .opposing votes, they as
serted, were based on the opinion,
expressed by Senator Glass, demo
crat, Virginia, and others, that it
was "an attempt to put the Unit
ed States treasury in the mercan
tile business' and further on the
objection that it was designed to
assist a Sharply delimited area.
The McNary-Haugen bill, sche
duled to be the next cousidved.
was. expected by the farm bloc to
escape criticisms raised against
tho loan bill. It. proposes the

The final vote on the Norbeck
Burtness bill came after more
than a week of continuous debate
and attempts from both sides of
the chamber to amend it in im

have added $20,000,000 for loans
to banks in distressed agricultural
sections, was defeated without a
record vote, as was also a substi

Story of Jeremiah and the
Potter Told Effectively
By Evangelist
The revival meeting at the Bap
tist church started off last night
with a live song service under the
direction of Mr. and Mrs. Tebow.
Several special numbers, were con
tributed, and the old favorites
were sung.
The evangelist. Dr. C. L. Trawin,
used the story of Jeremiah and the
potter as the basis for his sermon.
'"Jeremiah observed the patter at
work," he said, "and the clay was
put on the wheel to make a vessel
ami it was 'marred in the making,'
so "the potter made it again."
Dr. Trawin dwelt at length on
the stubborness of the ancient
people whom God had chosen and
the unwillingness to yield to God's
hand in fashioning the life to his
glory. A beautiful story was told
of the development of the Wedge
wood pottery. The patience of
God in his effort to make men for
his purposes, and shape f heir lives
to His plan, was brought out with
goodeffect.
In the afternoon Dr. Shanks
gave an expository reading of the
eighth chapter of Romans. This
afternoon Dr. Trawin will give his
final study in the work of the
Holy Spirit, taking up the gift of
tongues and healing. The evening
meeting, is to be "A Young Peo
ple's Service," and the subject for
the sermon will be, "A Young
Man's Choice."
The meetings close on Sunday.
Dr. Trawin will preach in the mor
ning and at the evening meeting.
The pastor, Dr. Shanks, will give
the message at the 4 o'clock young
people's meeting. Refreshments
will be served and the young folk
will remain for the evening meet
ing. Delegations are expected
from all the surrounding towns. for
the afternoon and evening meet
ifigs.
Convicts Not to Pull
Flax, Pierce's Policy
. i
Because of a policy adopted byJ
Governor Pierce that convicts
shall not pull flax this season, ef
forts are being made by the state
and the flax growers to finance
patented flax pullers. At a meet
ing of growers in the office of the
governor yesterday methods of fin
ancing the purchase of the mach
ines was considered. It will first
be taken up with Salem bankers,
and if no help is forthcoming
from that quarter the governor
will ascertain if the state can ad
vance the money. The growers
would stand good for the loaus.
The craze for tax-free s.'M-urities
will at least keep posterity from
Wing ruined by too much spend
ing money.
