Federal Expert ■ Takes Initiative in Road Inquiry Bryan Brought Charges Into Message for Self-Glorifica tion, Lincoln Critics Declare. fCefittnned From Pore One.) have tried every minute to do my duty as attorney general and shall continuo to do so. If the evidence submitted to me by the retiring gov ernor, or hy anybody else, warrants Sctlon against, any person or cor ".T'oration. action will he hrought at the earliest possible moment.” Johnson Prepare* Reply. Of course Bryan did not say how I'ing he had been in possession of the ' rtlleged Incriminating evidence, nor did he say when he had put the evi dence In the hands of the attorney general. What he did purposely do was to leave the inference that he had been watching and working all the time, together with the inference that not only was the former ad ministration negligent but that his administration was far and away su perior to all preceding it. The whole 'Bryan procedure was so characteristic “ns to create doubt In the minds o? fair-minded men and women as to his sincerity. ■ George Tohnson, former secretary Of the hoard of public works, said to day that he would make public a reply to Bryan's charge some time next week. Governor McMullen unhesitating declares that the whole matter will be probed to' the bottom, and if there is guilt it will be located; If the stale has been mulcted the money will be recovered. legislators Go Home. Governor McMullen announced this morning that foe the convenience of the legislators he would Install a desk In the old building. While he will spend a goodly po'rtlon of the time In the -new offices, he feels that, it is an imposition on the lawmakers to compel them to wade past piles of debris, through temporary run ways and through the cold to confer with him. It is his announced policy’ to co-operate In ex ery way possible wMth the legislature. The house having adjourned until Monday afternoon and the senate un til Tuesday, most of the legielators left Friday morning for their homes. Those living at a distance, however, are compelled to remain. But the members of the committees on cofai mlttees are held here by the difficult task of getting the house and senate committees lined up and ready for action when the txvo houses convene the first of the week. The first thing to he done is to cbn. aider and pass the emergency appro priation hills, and that means the senate xvill have 1o await action by the house. The emergency appro priation xvill be for the purpose de fraying legislative expenses. This xvill include mileage of the members, part salaries and the fxayroll of the house and senate employes.

Erskine Fullerton Rare* for Life W ith Dog Team Over 300-iMile Course in Northland, by Boat to Seattle, Then Loses. A twofold race with death—and death won. Such is the world which was re ceived here yesterday by friends of J. Krskine Fullerton, a former resilient of Cedar Rapids, la. Ful lerton died Wednesday, a few hours after undergoing the operation which, it was hoped, would save his life. He was in a Seattle, Wash., hospital. Fullerton left Cedar Rapids sev eral years ago to seek his fortune as a merchant in Alaska, the land of promise. He settled at Flat and opened • general store. Success. In moderation, smiled on him. His store prospdred and he was beginning to form plans for his return to his Iowa home. Then he was taken ill. Taken by Dog Team. The winter snows had hemmed in the little town of Flat. There was no communication with the outside world save by dog team and sledge. But the doctors said that the man's only hope for i^cov ery lay in an operation and the operation must be performed ns soon as possible. Fullerton agreed to make an ef fort. His friends loaded him onto a dog sledge and one race with death began. Mrs. Ceorge Fullerton, his mother, was notified when the coast was reached and she started from Cedar Rapids by train to see her son be fore he should die. Her s was the second race with death. 300 .Miles of Frozen Trail. The trial from Flat to the seaport was over 300 miles of frozen coun try. The dogs, seemingly realiz ing what their efforts meant, strug gled through the snow in response to the urging of Fullerton's friend who accompanied the sick man. They made the trip in record time and were fortunate enough to make almost immediate connections with a steamer hound for Seattle. Fullerton was oj»erated upon as soon as he reached the hospital but science was too Inte. A few hours later he was dead. Mrs. Fullerton reached the hos pital a few hours after that.

McFadden Comes j to Defense of His Banking Measure House Takes Up Bill Which Would Make Wide Range of Changes in National Banking Laws. Washing!on, ,Ian. 9.—The McKtld den Mil, proposing a wide range of changes in the national hanking laws, was taken up late today by the house under a rule limiting general debate to three hours. A vote on passage la planned tomorrow, with opponents conceding defeat. At the outset of deflate, the measure, which has as one of its objects the placing of national hanks on a more equal competitive basis with state institutions, particu larly with regard to branches, was as sailed by Representative Nelson of Wisconsin, leader of the La Folletto Insurgents in the house. “Pork Barrel” Bill. He referred to it as a "pork barrel" hill, which would benefit a few power ful bankers but would work against the best interest of wage workers and farmers. The remarks of the Wisconsin rep resentative brought a vigorous reply from Chairman McKadden on the banking committee, author of the bill, and from Representatives Wood of In diana and Murphy of Ohio, repub licans, both >C whom took Nelson to task for his opposition during the re cent presidential campaign to the Coolidge candidacy. Vrgtng prompt enactment of the measure, McKadden declared hank ers considered it the most important j)l»re of financial legislation since passage of the federal reserve act. Creditmen Approve. During its preparation, he said, the hill was subjected to the "most searching analysis and criticism" ever brought to bear on any measure presented to the house In recent years, hilt the banking policy it sets forth was approved by various or ganizations, including the National Association nf Creditmen and the American Bankers' association, which he described hs "conservative and sound in all matters of banking policy." Devoting a considerable part of his speech to the branch hanking provi-j slnns of the hill, McKadden said the| measure recognized that state wide, jbrnnrh banking was a dancer to the | federal reserve system and small in I dependent banks, and therefore at tempted to prevent further spread of | such methods.
