Uglum, Knox bank wrecker paroled by Governor Frazier’s board of experts last Septem- ber after serving nine months of an eleven-year term, was found guilty of stealing 112 bushels of flax from the state. ‘ The flax, it was alleged, was taken by Uglum from his estate at Max, which had been turned over to the state for the benefit of Uglum’s cred- itors after it was discovered that his private bank at Knox was short some It was charged that Uglum appropriated the flax to his own use, thus depriving his ¢reditors of its value. The ‘specific count on which Ugum was found guilty was grand larceny.

Frazier ignored :his protest, and the next the attorney general knew of the matter Uglum had been turned loose and was, Langer alleged, having a high ti with convivial friends at the ‘Twin Cities. Langer then filed direct. charges with Frazier to the effect that Uglum had violated his parole by engaging |, in practices which he had. promised to eschew.

The officer read to the committee recommendations he had. made to te department immediately upon his ar- ley in London in 1917. A cablegram | sent. laate in April, 1917, said the critical area where the war would be won qr. lost was in the eastern At- lantic at the focus of all lines of oc- ean communication to England and France. Admiral Sims told the com- mittee that he had repeatedly urged every destroyer and small craft that uld be sent to sea be dispatched | immediately to this area, his recom- mendation was not complied with un- ftil about six months later. Failure of the department to throw the full force of the navy into the struggle he said resulted,in the “un- necessary loss of-1,500,000 tons of shipping: by submarine attack in 1917 and 1,000,000 in 1918 to France.” He estimated, on the'basis of what hap- pened when the American forces did arrive that victory could have been achieved by July, 1918, if the ton- nage had been prese erved: ‘ AUTOCRASHS FATAL TO RAIL MAN AT MANDAN I.
