Purpose of the investigation into past political activities is to be dis cover vialations of Wsconsin's cor rupt practices act and to recom mend legislation strengthening and modernizing that law to prevent lurther abuses. The inquiry originally was aimed at Governor Walter J. Kohler, wealthy manufacturer who was backed by regular republicans. Members of the LaFolIette progres sive taction demanded the Investi gation after Kohler defeated their candidate for the republican nomination. Then Kohler joined the chorus crying for the Inquiry. He drafted a plank calling for investigation not only of his own campaign but of all others In Wisconsin as far back as 1924. It was adopted in the republican platform on which he was elected. Two senators and three assem blymen recently were pointed as the investigators after the legisla ture had appointed $10,000 for their work. Scope of their inquiry Includes the presidential campagn of the late Sen. Robert M. LaFollette, the election of his son, Robert M. La Follette, Jr.. to succeed him in the United States senate, and the elec tion of John J. Blaine, first gov ernor and then as United States senator. Other progressive vic tories in state offces also are in cluded. Pull power of subpoena has been conferred upon the investigators. Among the matters into which they are expected to inquire are: Whether more than $100,000 re ported spent by regular republi can organizations can be said to have been spent an behalf of Kohler with his knowledge and consent. Who the actual contributors were to the fund of $5,000 which Richard HH. ee. New York attor ney, gave to the last progressive campaign. Who contributed to the Associa tion Against the Prohibition Amendment's extensive advertising campaign in 1926 which staled "If You Want 5 Cent Beer, Vote for John J. Blaine."

Hiking Club to Visit 5 Living Glaciers on ML Jefferson Jaunt Three or four of the five living glaciers which flow down the sides of Mt.

This glacier extends from on elevation of 6,500 feet up to a well defined bcrgschrunde wall at 8,300 feet which rises to 9,740 feet. At an elevation of 6,700 feet it drops over a large step and be comes reconstructed where it flows for 800 feet down an elevation of 6,000 feet. The glacier is cut by immense crevasses of two different types, the simple transverse cre vasses and the radical crevasses. One transverse crevasses measured 83 feet deep. Another glacier located on the northern slopes of the mountain Is Jefferson park glacier. However, this glacier does not empty Into Jefferson park at all, but moves down toward Whitewater . creek. Only a email portion of this eiacier is In view from Jefferson par.: ex cept from ItA north wall. This glacier extends to a much lower elevation than Russell glacier and is terminated by a terminal moraine at about 6000 feet just above a small step. The Milk creek glacier flows in westerly direction and is the headwater of the creek by that name which is crossed on the trail road to Pamelia lake. Thi is a comparatively smail glacier, extend ing from the wall at 9900 feet down to an elevaticn of 7500 feet.

GERMANS TAKE NEW INTEREST, PERSIAN AREA Berlin (P) German interests In Persia have made great strides since the war, said Count Friedrich von der Schulenburg, German min ister at Teheran, in an address be fore the German Persian society. He mentioned that the Siemens Berger syndicate, a German-American enterprise, is constructing a railway to connect the Sasplan seal with the Persian Gulf, by way of Teheran, a distance of 1000 miles, while the Junkers concern is run ning air services from the capital to Bagdad. Baku, shiraz and Bu shire, hooking up with British and Russian air lines. Dr. Schnecwind, a banking ex pert. Is actirg as supervisor of the Persian finances, a xst formerly held by Dr. A. C. MUlspaugh, an American. Prof. Ernst Herzfeld, also a Ger man, 'shares with the French, who formerly held the monopoly, the control of the archeological treas ures of the country. Under the progressive rule of Shall Rlza Khan, said Count von der Schulenburg, Persia has estab lished her own coda of laws, on European lla, and a national uni versity at Teheran Is planned. Un til now, the majority of Persian students received their training in Paris, but he hoped that German universities would attract them more and more. There are already German commercial training cen ters at Teheran and Shiraz. "Persia is willing and eager for Germany to cooperate in the de velopment of the country," the Ger man minister concluded. WELL SHOOTER OF OIL FIELDS TOILS IN PERIL Wink, Texas, (IP) Handling nitro glycerin and jetting It oft in oil wells is the dangerous vacation of Jimmy Dallejr. 40, white-haired, and (earless. Wells which won't (low automatically need "a shot." Jim and his explosives do the work. Jimmy has shot wells in most all ot the Oklahoma and Texas oil fields, but right now his Job Is in the most dangerous of the lot the Wink field of West Texas where high rock pressure o( the gas Is liable to blow the nitroglycerin shell out of the hole. In the Wink field, the nitrogly cerin Is kept in 10-quart cans In a reservoir about three miles out o( the mushroom oil town o( Wink. It Is protected by bold warning signs. Jim's Job requires that he place the nitroglycerin "soup" he calls it In felted apartments In his car, and haul It to the well. Then he must lift the "soup" out of the car and pour It into shells, usually four inches In diameter and eight feet long. A(ter the shell Is let down Into the hole, the explosive Is set o(f by various methods, often by time bombs. While handling the nltroelvcerln Jimmy is ready constantly to "meet his Maker." Some ol the accidents he has experienced are explanatory of why shooters do not live long. In shooting 1000 wells, Jimmy's worst accident occurred In the Ranger field of Texas. A shell went off prematurely, blowing up the en tire well. Jim said he "wasn't hurt badly." There Is always the danger ox the well flowing spontaneously without use ol explosives, II this happens when the shell Is In the hole, It flows out with the oil and often has its course stopped by hitting a beam or other object. When this happens, a tornado mlht better have struck. Jimmy once climbed to th top of a der rick stool as the oil started to flow and caught the 70 pound shell as it appeared at the surface. Twice Jim has overturned his au tomobile when it contained nitro glycerin. It didn't explode. And Jim keeps the same motto, "Drive fast and get there." Jim's salary, $300 a month, Is paid by the torpedo company lor which he works.
