THE WEATHER Snow and Colder. THE BISMAR . THIRTY-NINTH YEAR. NO. 66. - BISMARCK, NORTH DAKOTA WEDNESDAY, MAR. 19, 1919 HOMECOMING FOR! BISMARCK YANKS I$ GREAT RVENT Almost 200 Soldiers and Their Guests Enjoy Banquet and Dance SPLENDID SPIRIT ‘SHOWN Boys Mix and Fraternize and Have Good Time in Typic- ally Yank Way Almost 200 soldiers, sailors and ma- rines boys who went from Bismarck and Eurleigh county and vicinity to the support of Old Glory when the call came for men, with their wives and sweethearts and sisters and an occasional daughter, enjoyed one wonderful night at the Masonic tem- ple last evening, when they were guests of the capital city at the first of a series of homecoming events. The streets, were lined with rela- tives and friends and admirers of the fighting men when they marched in snappy European style from. the Audi- torium to the Armory at 5:30. It was Bismarck’s first opportunity to grect hef soldiers en masse, and shé made the most of it. At the Masonic temple provision had been made for serving, the Yanks and their guests In two relays. While the first contingent ate and sang and listened to short five-minute talks, the second table delegation danced and otherwise amused themselves in the big lodge room or the club rooms on the ground floor. There were two orchestras, ‘Hurley's playing in the banquet hall and O'Connor's for the dancing. Time was not allowed to drag. There was, for a time, a short- age of partners for the Yanks, but this condition was soon remedied. In- troductions were dispensed with; a uniform was sufficient certificate of character and social standing. Every- body danced. They were a splendid, clean-loak- ing, manly bunch of young fellows. Hardly more than boys, most of them. they appeared ages older than their youthful partners. The Red Cross canteen girls in their charming -uni- forms, the Ladies’ Auxiliary to Co.’s A and I, proud mothers of Bismarck’s “fighting men; veterans of 61, and their wives, witn dim memories. of similar scenes,’when the “boys came back” more than half a century ago, assisted the reception committee in seeing that everyone had a good time and was made to feel that he fitted in. “The guests included: two native ‘American soldiers, with their wives, Sioux volunteers from Standing Rock, and the spectators included at least oné proud father and mother from the PUBLIC WILL BE CONFIDED IN BY INDUSTRY BOARD Secretary Morris Announces Be- ginning of New Regime Townley Administration BANK TO BE ON WHEELS Commission Announces It Will Be Made Movable Feast for Cities That Are Good :) “We are anxious to secure the co- operation of the press. All transac- tions’ of this office will be open to the public, and we court publicity,” said Oliver S. Morris, secretary of the state industrial commission yesterday, fol- lowing the first meeting of the board which he attended in his official ca- acity. Aside from authorizing the installa- tion of Mr. Morris in one of the rooms in the board of regents suite and in- structions. that he provide himself with necessary office equipment and clerical help, the commission did little yesterday. Mr. Morris’ bond as secretary was fixed at $10,000, an amount deemed sufficient by the commission in view of the fact that ‘he will not directly handle any money. The commission adopted an official seal and requested that the secretary |procure the fullest possible publicity for the hearing of March 27, when the board will select a site for the Bank of North Dako It is understood that the commission may not regard the site originally selected as perma- nent, but that it will reserve the right to change the location of the bank {should the first selection not prove satisfactory. All cities which feel they have something to offer in the way of a location are requested to file briefs for the consideration of the commis- sion, Long petitions or large personal delegations are not favored. E. B. Fussell, special writer for the National Nonpartisan Leader, former- ly a Washington state newspaper man, has succeeded Mr. Morris as editor of the Leader at St. Paul. Mr. Morris is preparing to move his family from the saintly city to Bismarck.

The sentiment or spirit of the even- ing could not be better expressed than in the little verse, “To Our Boys,” composéd for the occasion by Mrs. N. O. Ramstad, and printed on the front cover of the beautiful sou- venir menu cards: “Think how lonely one can be In just a single day, Then count the weeks and months ‘That you have“been away. By counting so you will know ‘The happiness and joys That prompt our hearts in giving This welcome to Our Boys.” . The Banquet. ‘The feast was served on long tables stretching the length of the big Ma- sonic reception and dining room. At the head of the table were seated F. L. Conklin, chairman of the dinner committee; Governor and Mrs. Lynn J. Frazier, General G. Angus Fraser. Rev. and Mrs. Buzzelle, Vicar General we J. Hiltner of the diocese of Bis- marck, and Grand Army veterans and their wives. Chairman Conklin made a neat lit- tle introductory speech; the Very Rev. Father Hiltner said grace. and Rev, Buzzelle delivered a greeting, as folldws: “Ladies and Gentlemen: I have been honored many times by the citi- zens of Bismarck, and the history of the kindnesses showered upon me in village and country will ever remain a precious possession. But today T have been honored far beyond merit of mine, in being chosen to represent the citizenry of this county at the homecoming of you boys. and to try and express in words the thoughts that surge in their souls. So greatly do I-esteem this honor, that {t has made me_ throw discretion to the winds and attempt that which is far peyond my power. This occasion calls for the best efforts of one who sees clearly and feels deeply, and can ex- press strongly and truly the profound- est thoughts of the people. But while I may not reach great heights of ora- tory in telling vou men the feelings of the heart, I will take second place to no man in the depth and power of my at your return, or of apprecia- tion of the deeds you have done. am not compelled to draw upon my {magination to picture what I ought to feel- My own flesh and blood are here.

Of your deeds over there, and of your service here those who petved Rat aes must ou My heart thrillg with the story of ‘at Chatedu Thierry, for 4 Two.) TWENTY YEARS TO PAY OUT, In his formal opinion as to pay- ments which may be made under the | soldiers’ relief act of the 16th assem- ‘bly requested by Adjutant General Fraser, Attorney General Langer says: weet “No payments can be made from this fund for more than a year. If all the discharged soldiers apply then each will receive $15. Thereafter the payment will be approximately $19 annually, providing all discharged sol- diers continue to/apply for their al- lotments. A discharged soldier who has served 18 months will receive in the course of some twenty years $400, which, under the terms of the state building and loan act he must devote to buying a home or farm, or in lieu thereof devote to completing his edu- cation. I regret that the liw passed is not such as will give the soldiers greater immediate assistance. “No money will be available'in the returned soldiers’ fund before the end of the next fiscal year, June 30, 1920. Under the provisions of the act, the state board of equalization cannot make the first levy until August, 1919. The tax will become delinquent March 1, 1920, and the major portion of it will be in the state treasury by the end of that fiscal year. The board will make the same levy annually thereafter until the state’s obligations to all returned soldeirs have been ful- filled. 2 “Upon request State Auditor Carl R. Kositzky furnished the following estimate as to the sums available un- der the provisions of the act: The 1919 classification act will probably increase the assessed valuation of the state to approximately $1,200,000,000. A half-mill levy thereon will provide $600,000. According to the records in your office, there are approximately 40,000 discharged soldiers. If every discharged soldier eligible to partici- pate in this fund applies and all taxes are paid, there would be available $20 annually for each soldier. However,, as Mr. Kositzky states that only 75 per cent of any tax is paid in by the end of’ the fiscal year, there will be collected and available on June 30, 1920, $450,000, or $15 for each dis- charged soldier. Mr. Kositzky states further that about five per cent of each tax levied is never paid, so the next annual levy..will be $570,000, or 318 for. each discharged soldier. “There is no provision in the act passed which gives crippled soldiers any preference over other soldiers. I note from your request that you are receiting a great many inquiries from discharged soldiers who are claiming the sum of $400 immediately. You would have no authority to pay out such sum as under the law a separate account shall be kept with each sol- dier showing Sey. what he would be entitled to and that sum would be set aside for him.” nee eiayAbcnatont of tho; ate a halls sad soft drink venders, to date, Face of “Golden Apple’ BY FREDERIC Each division and subdivi “4 WIRES PICTURES WITHOUT RECHARTING , Now, however, Leishman has .gone much further by devising machines by which photographs may be sent by wire directly without this mechanical charting and recharting. The basis of the invention is the relation between light and electricity. “It is well known,” says the inven- tor, “that selenium has the peculiar property of changing its electrical conductivity according to the intensity of light to which it is exposed. Selen- ium is therefore particularly adapted to form the eye that translates light and shade’ into corresponding intensi- ities of an electric current. “A small selenium cell is placed in the back of a deep and compartively large dark box. Lenses are arranged in front of the dark box and brought as_close as possible. to the sending cylinder. The purpose of this ar- rangenient ix to have only a very min- ute portion of ‘the cylinder focused {upon the cell. {PICTURE IS WRAPPED j; AROUND A CYLINDER “The picture to be transmitted is wrapped around the cylinder. On both | sides of the dark box, very strong {lights are placed to illuminate the pic- jture. The cylinder has a threaded| shaft, so that it advances as it re- volves. | “This permits every part of the pic- ture to be focused in turn upon the} selenium cell, which carries the cur-| rent according to the intensity of the| reflected light. In this manner the picture is transmitted.” ‘The receiving end of the process is equally novel. Light i$ not subject. to. the law of gravity, and has no friction and no inertia, -it »is explained; The electro~ magnets at the receiving station there- fore act directly upon a magnetically affected actinic ray“ This beam. of | light may-be a polarized, a cathoderay, or in fact, any ray upon, which mag- netism will exert‘its influence. WOMAN KILLED — “BY BOMB IN | FRONT YARD Oakland, Calif. March 19.—Police| and medical authorities at an autopsy this morning developed the first clues in the death of Mrs. George Green- wood, killed in the yard of her hdtne last night by a bomb explosion. Six! pieces of galvanized wire and a lead slug were found in her body. Any one of the many wounds. dis- covered on her body could have caus ed death, the authorities said. The police learned that in January, 1918, a letter received by Dr. Greenwood, husband of the dead woman, demand- ed $5,000 on penalty of the d tion of his home. The letter was sign- ed “GC. C. G. C2" A similar letter was; received by Governor Stephens be- fore the executive mansion was dyn- amited at Sacramento.

Some time ago the Fargo School of Business in incorpor- ating included in its articles the privi- lege of issuing degrees. The secre- tary of state questioned this author- ity, and that vrovision was withdrawn from the articles. Now the Dakota; Business college of Fargo is advertis-| ing that it has this authority and that it is the only business college in North Dakota so authorized.

PHOTOS BY TELEGRAPH: NEW ELECTRIC MARVEL New Machine’ * | 3 N.E. A. Staff Correspondent NEW YORK—Photography by wire’is the miracle performed by Leroy J. Leishman of Ogden, Utah, a young inventor, who has perfected a system for sending images by electricity. The first photograph to go by wire was sent from New York to Chicago—it was the portrait of Edith Hyde, the “Girl of the Golden Apple.” Leishman’s invention consisted originally of a process of “coding” the picture. For this purpose it was placed on a drawing board having a fixed vertical scale and a sliding horizontal scale. ion of letter, so that by a combination of five letters, it was possible to indicate each salient point in the pictyre and to establish that point on a similar board at the receiving end. : \Tribune. ‘MRS, MDONNELL ACCUSES HUSBAND. 2 Girl Is First Sent by K M.
