SENATOR NELSON TRIES
5 TO BLOCK PROCEEDINGS
MINNEAPOLIS, Sept. 9.— There
was a somewhat peculiar prob
lem of which six members of
'\u25a0j he BalUnger-Plnchot investigating
\u25a0were confronted with when they met
Vioday. ,
Three republican members, Senator
Sutherland of Utah and Representa- j
lives Denby and McCall, refused to!
attend the meeting which was called \
to order by Senator Wilson. Not long
. afterward Nelson himself left the
;;room.
; . Cpon the assembling of the cotnmit
. tee. Chairman Nelson said he desired
to inform them that Denby arrived
yesterday morning and that Olmstead
would arrive this evening, and that he
.had received word from Senator Root
that he could be here next Tuesday.
This, he said, vou'jd bring together 11
ff the 12 members of the committee.
Two Alternatives
. ' Tn view of this fact he suggested
filher of twn, -alternatives — that they
-.agree to meet here np\t Tuesday or
>.f Senator Root can reach Chicago \u25a0
t' -Monday, and as all but two members of j
'\u25a0\u25a0 the committee will paps through Chi- I
; ts-go on their way hom*\ a meeting of:
"the committee be held in Chicago next'
• -Monday.
:. . A rolloall disclosed no quorum, and i
\u25a0 Senator Nelson said no business could
'\u25a0 t>f_ tranFacted.
.Madison protested against the action
:fj[ the chairman as arbitrary and un- j
fair and moved that the absent com- J
iiiUteemen be brought in. The four!
-democrats and Madison voted for it, !
;Nelson not voting.
Refuse to Attend
• Sutherland. McCall and Denby were
;Ts<-*tin>d to come into the meeting but
,'in a lengthy statement explained why
•"•they would not. They resented the
faction of the minority In refusing Wed
-riesday to postpone action until the
."•-tn«nber* of the committee known to be
deeming could arrive at Minneapolis,
>and "their evident purpose to attempt
..to' make the action of a minority the
V>ffirial a<tfon of the committee with
»tut consideration and their refusal to
discuss the evidence at the former
.meeting; and in view of the fact that
Sat the former meeting they promul
gated to the public their decision of the
rase, which had no validity whatever
. as official action, and yet amounted to
\u25a0\ a.' conclusive prejudgment of the case
;.'£sfar as said minority were con
..r-f-rned." >#
Nelson Leaves Room ' $
.: Senator Nelson again declared that
: there was no quorum. He gave notice
- That a meeting would be held in Chi
cago Tuesday and then left the room.
. five remaining members contin
iie<r\ their deliberations. A resolution
.'was adopted denouncing the call for
: the Chicago meeting and scoring "the
.absent members. .'>,;
Findings Given Out

investigation to learn whether the oil
king's father, William Avery Rocke

DEVOTION'S GLORIOUS RITE
Typical Celebration of
California's Birthday
DANIEL A. RYAN
Grand President, .N'atlve Sons of
the Golden West.
It was a great parade* touly
typical of California^ and San
Francisco; all parts of the state
were fittingly represented by their
daughters and sons. Music and
song, allegorical group, flag and
banner and enthusiasm unbound
ed marked this, California's six
tieth birthday.
It was Calif ornia*s greatest
pageant. It showed that the
daughters and sons are loyal and
devoted- to her. The thousands
of Native Sons in line manifested
to the people the marvelous
growth of the order under whose
auspices the. parade was held.
As grand president of the
Native Sons I desire to express
my thanks to the many orders
that participated with us and
made it possible to have the
great procession. I commend and
congratulate the various parlors
and members of our beloved or?
der on their patriotism and loy
alty.
Wonderful Proof of the |
Progress Madety Natives j
MAMIE G. PEYTON
Grand President* ?fattre Dansb
trrn of the Golden 'West.
Surely the sixtieth anniversary
of the admission of California
into the union has been one of
the most wonderful exemplifica'
tions of the progress made in the
Native Sons and Daughters of
the Golden West and shows
their influence for good through'
out this fair stale.
ARTHUR L. PRICE
CALIFORNIA'S birthday party,
held yesterday by the Native
Sons of the Golden West and the
Native Daughters of the Golden West,
and by all other proud Californians
assembled in San Francisco was ex
hilarating.
The parade was a glorious rite of
devotion to the .Golden" state. There
were : 20^000 men, women and children
in line and the line was four and a
half hours passing a given point, in
cluding the time it stopped in front
of the point, but those are details of
the party. It was a splendid line of'
indefatigable folk, and no state ever
had such a notable birthday party.
Whatever the pageant might have
lacked in historical pictures was more
than made up for by the fact that
there, were the makers of history, in
the; line.
Pioneers of '49 in Line
While them were no tableaus or
scenes from the Mexican war, whicn
gave California to the union, there
were^in the- line men who had fought
the '^battles of the Mexican war before
the desperate \u25a0 alignment of Santa
