ESTABLISHED 1873 NESTOS SAYS RECORDS WERE FOUND MISSING Asserts Investigation of State Business Checked by Ac- tion of League SPEAKS AT HAZELTON Reviews the Record of His Opponents, Saying They Have Made It An Issue Hazelton, N. D., Oct. 18.—As- serting that the fact that Mr. Frazier and Mr. Lemke have re- fused “to accept the verdict repu-; diating them in the recall elec- tion” makes necessary the presen- tation of their record in office as a part of thepresent campaign, | Jovernor Nestos, in a. campaign |. speech here last night, reviewed; the revord of the former adminis- tration, “During the campaign last fall,’ said Governor Nestos, ‘‘we told you that we would make as full! an investigation as possible of! the conduct of the public buiness | and the condition of the public *unds, and to report the results of} such investigation to the people of | the state. This we have done as fully as it was posible for us to do, The handicaps were many. In the first place, there was such a lock of funds as to make it im- possible to have an audit made of i all the different departments and| funds, and we have had to be con- tent to. confine our investigation to the lines of business only man- aged by the Industrial Commis- sion. In addition to that, public records had been mutilated or de- stroyed to such an extent that de- finite information was lacking so as to handicap us/ greatly in the investigation. Says Records Destroyed “When we assumed the manage- ment of the Bank of North Dakota and also of the Scandinavian- American Bank at Fargo, and had a chance to investigate the books, records, and correspondence those_ institutions. we. desired. to examine the correspondence~ that would shed light on those business transactions between the Bank ‘of North Dakota. and the Scandina- vian-American Bank which had been so severely’ criticized. We felt that the people ought to know the whole truth, as to those busi- ness transactions which had lost to the people a large amount of money. When we came to inves- tigate, however, we discovered that practically every letter and copy of a letter that dealt with these transactions had been carefully re- moved, not only from the files of the Bank of North Dakota, but al- so from the files in the Scandina- vian-American bank and were now here to be found.” In addition Governor Nestos charged that the records of the Bank of North Dakota were falsi- fied in reporting an item of $3,- 000 paid to George Webb, bond salesman, stating that, the head bockkeeper' admitted. that. the item, which the bank showed was paid in the spring, was not actual- ly paid until the following Novem- ber after the results of the recall election. were made known. Losses In Industries Losses of the state industries under the league administration were given by the Governor as fol- ni lows: Industrial | Commission, $156,348.73; Home Builders Asso- - cation, $159,974.74; Bank of North Dakota, ‘ $150,475.64; Mill and Elevator Association, $187,- 194.17, total book loss $653,993.28. “In addition thereto there will appear large additional losses be- fore the affairs of the Home Build- ers Association have been wholly wound up,'the settlement of the loans and redeposits made by the Bank of North Dakota completed and the definite and final amount of these losses ascertained,” said the Governor. “It is now estimat-' ed that thoe losses will total from! two to three millions of dollars even if the best business judgment and skill is employed in salvaging the securities and other property.” The Governor referred to the house built by the Home Builders Association for William Lemke, opponent. He charged Lemke violated both the spirit .and the letter of the law “by erecting for himself a house costing $22,276.41, in addition to his share of the total book loss of the department which amounted to $159,974.74.” He said Lemke had __ declared during the recent campaign that the state never had more than $4,- 000 in the house at any one time, whereas after he went out of o°- fice Lemke paid into the state $9,- 371.55. “and thereby conclusively proved by the admission of this payment that he and his speakers and papers had been trying to de- ceive the people. Only once since June 11, 1921, had his indebted- ness to the state dropped under $9,000.00 and then only for a few days, and on this he paid no in- terest.” NO SUNDAY SPEECHES. Governor R. A.

The- attack, according to the miss- ing girl’s sister, occurred in Lor- raine’s room at a hotel here, and in the struggle’ that followed: she struck the man over the head with a vase and fled in terror when he fe!l to the floor apparently lifeless.

DOLLS T 0 FOOL HUSBAND (By the Associated Press) Hammond, Ind., Oct. 18.—Accuse by her middle aged husband of kill ing the two babies, twins, whi he ‘said -were born to her last’® cember, Mrs. Hazel McNally, 24, fac- ed trial here today, claiming the missing twins were nothing more than cleverly constructed dummy dolls” mothered by her until last April to satisfy her husband’s am- bition to be known to the world as a father, Guided by lanterns and spurred by MeNally’s charges, police dug until late last night in the yard of the home where the MeNallys lived until last April, searching for the “bodies” they had been tdld might, be buried there. In support of her claim, Mrs. Mc- Nally declared she told her hus- band, after their marriage in April, 1921, that she had undergone an operation at Green Bay, Wis., in 1919 which made it impossible for her to become a mother. “I had explained to ‘him the ecf- fects of the operation, but that ed to still his desire to be a parent,” Mrs. McNally said. “Om one occasion we inserted an advertisement of ing to adopt a child, but’ nothi Phint came of it. Finally his mania to pose ‘as a father became so acute that we contrived the hoax.” Mrs. McNally ‘said. she passed the on*to neighbors and’ as ‘the time approached to announce the birth went so far as to engage a nurse and she purchased two skill- fully constructed dolls. She said she kept the “twins” carefully hidden from the curious eyes of neighbors until last April, when she and her husband circu- lated the report that they had sent the children te Chicago. All of his wife’s story, McNally said, is the desperate defense of a woman who has done away with her children. He said he had seen her fondle them and nurse them. One of the witnesses summoned was Mrs. James Griffiths, a nurse and a former neighbor. McNally said Mrs. Griffiths would testify that the twins were flesh and blood. Mrs. McNally declared that Mrs. Grif- fiths would have to admit that the two forms she saw in the bed with MeNally’s wife were only dolls. Mrs. Julius Latzkomis, another neighbor is said to have seen the Mc- Nally twins. She was also valled to testify.

The charge was dis- orderly conduct. In 1896 the Pennsylvania was the largest vessel afloat. Moser said he was leaving a hotel on Michigan Boulevard with Charles J. Morris, representative of the New York Life Insurance company, when three bandits jumped on the run- ing board of Morris’ automobile, made Morris give up the wheel, which was taken by one of the rob- bers, whose own car, waiting across the street, and driven by a fourth bandit, followed, Outside the downtown district, the bandits stopped, Moser said, and took the pouch containing the dia- monds, declaring they had followed him from St, Louis to obtain the stones. The robbers then cut the ignition wires on Morris car, locked jt, took the keys and drove away in the other car, according to Mover. Moser said he had about 25 unset diamonds, ranging in size from one to six karats. The total loss in robberies of dia- mond brokers and salesmen in Chi- cago during the last two -years amounts to more than $2,000,000, ac- cording to police reports.

The American Legion, following a brisk business session today, paraded this afternoon. More than 30,000 men “fell in” for the parade, and the brisk autumn air, a contrast to the; balmy weather of the finst two days of the convention, lent added zest to the event.

Such a contin- gency seems almost inevitable to the disinterested observer, and one of! the surest prospects of the present ferment seems to be a new align-j, ment of parties which will obliterate some of Britain's political land- marks.

DENY ENTRY Constantinople, Oct. 18.—The British authorities here, in the in- terest of public safety, have declined to permit the Turkish nationalist gendarmerie to march through Con- stantinople today as the Turks had planned. The order produced keen disappointment among the exuber- ant Turkish population which had made ‘preparations on a vast scale to welcome the Kemalists.
