Representative Rankin admitted throwing the inkwell, Hogan of throwing the glass of water, and Fenning said he did all in his power to reach Rankin with his Sists, but was unsuccessful.

BLACK LIST OF ROGUES.
RUSSIAN TRADE SCANDAL.
The Federation of German In- dustries have issued statement expressing regret that responsible German business. houses have re cently tried to get orders from Soviet Russia through bribes of- fered to officials by dubioge mid- ¿lemen:
The Federation's statement re fers to one of the biggest at- tempted graft scandals in inter- national trade, in which, by the way, the Soviet authorities alone are, emerging unsmirched,'
seame that 22 German export houses, some of world-wide reputa- tion, notwithstanding a pledge to the contrary given to the Soviet Trade Bureau in Berlin, signed agreements with a notorious Polish rogue, Kutisker-who has just been sent to gaol for a long,term- whereby he promised to get them huge orders with cash payment from the highest, Soviet chiefs.
Kutisker told a cock-and-bull story about his having saved Stalin from the gallows in Tsarist days, thereby having gained his patronage" now and being further able to "palm" him with 1% per cent. commission on all business transacted.
Some 300 other German firms from all parts of the country were negotiating with Kutisker... for similar graft business with the Soviet when his arrest prevented any deal.
