PAGE TWO THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE MONDAY, EEBRUARY, 20, ’22 NAVIGATION IS THREATENED BY DRIFTING MINES! Derelict Submarines Also Haunt The Western Waters CATCH MINES IN NETS Stockholm, Feb. 20.—Ghosts of the great war still haunt the Baltic, scar- ing veteran skippers, sailors, fisher- men and steamship passengers alike. Hardly a week passes without re- ports along the Swedish coast of drift- ing old mines and derelict submar- ines both a serious danger to all nav- igation. The mines are principally of Russian and German origin, and after breaking loose from their moor- ings they have drifted toward the east coast of Sweden. Many of them have been washed ashore on Gottland isl- and which lies almost in the center of the Baltic. The derelict U-boats haunt the west- ern waters. Ever since the armistice, Baltic storms have washed mines upon the coast and dwellers along the shore have long since become accustomed to ‘the terrific detonations of explod- ing mines hurled agains} cliffs during heavy gales, Energetic efforts have been made to sweep up these dan- gerous relics of the war, but it will probably be years before either the North Sea or the Baltic is free of them. It is not at all uncommon for fish- ermen to catch mines in their nets, They are regarded as lucky catches, although they have to be handled gin- gerly, for the government pays hand- somely for the removal or destruc- tion of the mines, if satisfactory proot of their destruction ian be furnished. Vessels Change Schedules, The U-boat derelicts are said to have been discarded English vessels, lost while being towed from English ports to Copenhagen. The menace to navigation from these two sources {s| such }hat passenger and merchant vessels have to change their schedules in the Baltic and traverse the danger zones only by daylight. { Lately there has been little prop- erty damage and no loss of life as the result of the floating U-boat dere- licts and mines. Nevertheless Swed- ish marines insurance companies have of late been threatening to raise their rates on account of this danger to navigation. VIENNA IS AN EXPENSIVE CITY: TO LIVE IN Suitings, Coffee, Flour, Coal, Furs, Stockings, All Above New York Prices Vienna, Feb. 20.—Living costs in Vienna increased 24 per cent between January 1 and 15, according to official figures, and some_articles rose above world prices. Apparently the announced deter- mination of the finance minister, Dr. Guerthler, that ‘he will at least force all government monopoly prices to world parity is extending itself auto- matically throughout , business. * The newspapers say that suitings, coffee, flour, coal, furs and stockings are now above New York prices and that a meal in an ordinary middle or lower class restaurant here costs more than it does there. Good tailors demand from 11 to 15 pounds sterling for a suit or overvcoat. The jump in prices that set in just before tho holidays continues. It gravely affected the Christmas trade and many shops are still stocked with the season’s goods. Customers are few and the rising prices have mater- ially thinned out foreigners © drawn here by cheap living or for specula- tive buying. The best illustration of the chaotic state of affairs is found in automobile cost. A six cylinder car of the type that in America sells at from about $2,700 to $3,000 could have been bought here in the summer for $2,400. The same car was offered this week ata price in kronen equivalent to $4,000. Trying to Ralse Money The government is resorting |to every expediency to raise money to meet its increasing cost. A form of treasury ‘script known as kassens- cheine up to denomination of 400,000 kronen is now in circulation to offset the scarcity of regular currency put is expected to be retireg when the new 50,000 kronen notes are ready for issue. The refusal of many mer- chants to accept the script caused fur- ther confusién in the generally con- fused state of business. Industries have been badly hit by the increasing qost of production, par- ticularly those’ which must | import * most of their raw materials, so that many factories are reducing thoir pay- rolls ‘and thus throwing the discharg- ed men back on the government. MANDAN NEWS | Prominent Sioux Indian Dies Joseph Frosted Red. Fish, age 57, one of the prominent Sioux Indians of the Porcupine district, died in Man- dan Saturday afternoon of peritonitis superinduced by acute appendicitis. He was brought to Mandan for an operation, but his condition was such that there.was but ‘a bare chance ‘that surgery: would help him.

Complete March List NOW ON SALE Columbia BY JACK JUNGMEYER, Los Angeles, Feb, 20—The , kalei- doscopic love quest of beautiful, cul- tured Madalynne Obenchain and her experimentation with the affections of three men will be revealed in her trial here, charged with complicity in the murder of J. Belton Kennedy. She herself will tell much of the story on the witness stand. Kennedy was a young broker with whom she had been infatuated before and during her married life witb Ralph Obenchain, Chicago attorney. He was shot from ambush at his se- cluded Beverly Glen cabin in her presence on the night of Aug. 5. Mrs. Obenchain, then ‘divorced, and Arthur C. Burch, son: of an Evans- ton, Ill., minister and her “platonic admirer,” wére. arrested next day and held for the crime. The main features in the heart en- tanglement which the state holds re- sponsible for the tragedy were at once disclosed, but both have steadfastly denied any part in the killing. Prosecutor Thomas L. Woolwine has built up his case on the theory that Mrs. Obenchain, who forsook her husband in the’ hope of marrying Ken- nedy, had become “the woman scorn- ed.” Arthur Burch, dapper, self-assured collegian credited with silent, dog- like devotion for the exquisite Mada- lynne, is pictured as the instrument of her alleged fury over a curdled love. ciating. ‘Red Fish is survived by a wife and one daughter. Otto Bauer returned to Mandan yes- terday from Fargo where he has been attending ‘the: annual convention of the North Dakota Lumbermen’s asso- ciation at Fargo. Mr. Bauer is ‘presi- dent of the association and has been elected as a member of the executive committee. Miss Claire Andersen was the guest. of honor at an informal party held’ Friday evening by members of the Business & Professional Women’s club in the club rooms. Miss Ander- son, who has made her home in Man- dan the past two years with her uncle and-.aunt, Mr. and Mrs. O. M. Larson, will leave the first of .the week for Seattle, Wash., to make her home. Mrs. Larson — entertained a company of friends at a bridge party for her niece on Saturday evening. Mrs. Jos. P. Hess was hostess at a thimble bee at her home Saturday afternoon complimentary to Mrs, H. E. Seaman who is leaving with her husband and family on Monday even- ing for Spring: Valley, S. D., near Mitchell, where they will. make their future home. The guests included the members of the Child Conservation league and a number of other friends of the guest of honor. Government Would Check Profiteering Vienna, Feb.”17.—In’ an ° effort~ to check the wild profiteering prevalent here, the government has asked the public to report refusal of merchants to sell goods, those withholding or concealing stock or unjustifiably in- creasing prices. Charges may be brought by simply mailing them through the post, thus avoiding the red tape of personal ap- pearance.

MRS. MADALYNNE OBENCHAIN, SNAPPED IN COURT. Burch was tried without verdict, the jury ‘having disagreed 10 to 2 for conviction, and he will be tried again after Mrs. Obenchain has faced. her ordeal. As Madalynne Connor, Mrs. Oben- chain became the college belle at Northwestern ‘university: It was there that Ralph Oberchain, honor student; Arthur. Burch and: Belton Kennedy began to vie for her favor. Kennedy; ‘the most’ impetuous, was preferred. He. and Madalynne were reported engaged to marry. A spat occurred and in pique she wedded Obenchain. ‘ Mrs. Obenchain, though married, could not efface her regard for Ken- nedy, -her first and only real love.” She told her husband, and he permit- ted her a divorce so that she might wed his rival. Kennedy’s ardor shortly began to cool, according to letters ascribed to Madalynne. The woman proceeded to pull down the shaky structure she Nad erected upon three hearts, with Burch’s help, Dist. Atty. Woolwine will seek to show. The prosecution ‘will introduce her wire to Burch in Chicago asking him to hurry to her assistance, because “things looked bad.” Burch came, rented a room across the street froin Kennedy’s brokerage office, went about on mysterious ‘errands under assumed names, and on the fatal night left his hotel with a long: parcel, rented an auto, returned about mid- night and next day leftthe city.

Alcohol of the higher grade. is produced usually from grains, first distilled and then rectified, to eliminate the impurities.
