Washington, Jan. 26.—Taxation of community property occupied the Louse ways and means committee in its consideration of new revenue rates today after deciding yesterday on reductions amounting to $103,- 000,000 principally. in the excise or nuisance taxes. Considerable nonpartisany opposi- tion over Secretary Mellon’s resolu tions to tax all community property ineome to the individual owner. Fight states in the south and wesv permit husbands and wives to divide | the income as joint owners and file separate returns. Acceptance of this proposal, it was estimated, | would bring in $8,000,000 more in revenue. The committee next will consider provisions in the treasury bill to allow preferential tax exemptions on earned income and Chairman Green is planning’ to take up the income rates by the middle of next week, which will_allow 10 days” for ‘their consideration’ before the bills must be reported to the house. TWO KILLED AT CROSSING Ravenna, Ohio, Jan. 26—Two men and two women were instantly killed here early today when a west bound Baltimore and Ohio flyer demolished their ‘automobile at a grade cross- ing. The ‘men were identifieq as James North and Andrew Nofeier the community'in honor of the bridal pair, i their pockets. of Alliance through papers found in \ gates, with alternates to the national convention.

H, Porter, Calvin; John Heiling, Valley City; T. J. Kelsch, Fuller- ton; John Ehr, Minot, Mrs, R. H. Le- vitt, Carson and E, J, Hughes, Dick- inson. May Be Tested in Court The legality of the action of this meeting may be tested in the courts, it Was rumored. Although a major- ity of the committee is present, either in person or by proxy, there being 25 districts represented, there are Democrats who-claim that the meeting was illegally called and its action therefore void. Shortly after Secretary Holt is- sued the call for this meeting, the then Chairman Wooledge issued a statement denying Holt’s authority to call it and urged the members not to attend. Wooledge also issued a call for a statewide conference at Minot for February 7 and also a meeting of the central committee for that date. Holt refused to res- cind his call and the meeting wad held Thursday. About 100 repre- sentat®ve Democrats besides the committee responded to the call. The first thing the meeting did was to declare the office of chair- n vacant and then it proceeded to elect a new one. Campbell was the; choice. A resolutions committee was named composed of S. J. Do; Fargo; Charles Porter of Calvin; R. | H, Smith of Cando; J. P. Fried of Jamestown and R. H, Levitt of Car- son. Condemn G. O. P. Foreign Policy The resolutions adopted indorsed former Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo for president, condemned the foreign policy of the present administration as being the principal cause for the present unstable con- dition of the nation’s agriculture, condemned th& Fordney-McCumber tariff law as a protection to the manufacturers of the tast but re- moving such protection for the farmer by the milling drawback, and urged the passage of the Coulter bill, Candidates for presidential elect- ors ‘chosen included: Hugh McDon- ald, Valley City; A. H. Haas, Wah- peton; J. C, Hancock, Fargo; Mrs. Welo, Velva. WOOLEDGE’S ANSWER Minot, N. D., Jan. 26.—Members of the Democratic state committee who met in Valley City yesterday could not have “by any possible construc- tion of law” any power or authority to declare the office of chairmaz of the committee vacant and to clect a new chairman, Gaifis Wooledge of Minot, chairman of the commiltee, declared today, after being informed of the action of the Valley City meet- ing. . “I was elected chairman in accord- ance with section 890 of the code at (Continued on Page 8) SHIP.SINKS , IN MID-OCEAN Lumber Freighter Believed Abandoned Without Loss of Life San Francisco, Jan, 26—The freight steamer Mary Horlock, a steel vessel of 3,249 tons, had been abandoned about 1,700 miles west of Honolulu and the’ crew taken aboard the liner President Taft, according to radio advices received by the Federal Tele- graph Company here early this morn- ing.~ The Mary Horlock left Tacoma Dec. 21 bound for the Orient with a cargo of lumber, The advices received ‘here state that the cargo of lumber shifted in mid-ocean causing the vessel to tilt so badly that water entered the en- gine room. The ship is said to be in a sinking condition. The ‘coal supply had be- come’exhausted when the vessel tilt- ed, the advices which were fsom the President Taft quoting Capt, Hill, the master, as reporting. ment of New Apparatus A saving of 88 cents per ton in the use of lignite coal has bi ef- fected at the State School of Scie at Wahpeton by use of modern g especially designed for increasing the efficiency of the co: ording to a report made by President E. F. Ripley to th tate board of ad- ministration, The new grate system wi nstalled by the state boar as an experiment. The experience at the tution, according board and othe: state insti- to members of the » may have a far- reaching eff The use of Modern apparatus can so increase the effi- ¢iency of lignite coal that the coal mines of the state will be greatly aided in their competition against eastern coals in eastern North Da- kota, western Minnesota and South Dakota. With the new apparatus the school of Jcience began using lignite screen- ings instead of lignite coal. On the of the tests, the new apparatus aved 88 cents a ton. “On a basis of $4.70 for Mine Run Coal in bin at Wahpeton, the screen- ings are worth $5.02, according to evaporation,” the report said. “The actual cost of screenings is $4.14 in the bin at Wahpeton, making a sav- ing of 88 cents per ton.” The first test was made over old grates burning mine run coal while the second was with screenings over the new grates, the results be- ing ascertained by the number of h, pounds of coal required to evaporate | one pound of water. Under the new method it was found that water could be evaporated for .049 cents per pound. “I feel satisfied with the saving of 88 cents per ton, and I also feel that as we become more accustom- ed to burning this kind of coal and can regulate our system a little bet- ter, we can make this saving equal to a dollar per ton,” said Ripley. “We use approximately 1,200 tons per year, and our cost of installation will not exceed $400 in addition to our own labor, and I feel that a material saving has been made to WOULD MERGE 9 BIG PHONE COMPANIES Noithwestern Bell Would . Take Over North Dakota Independent Co. Petition was filed with the state railroad commission for a merger of the North Dakota Independent Tele- phone Company with the Northwest- ern Bell Telephone Company. The merger would be accomplished by the Northwestern Bell taking over all the assets, and obligations of the former company. The Northwestern Bell, which now owns all the outstanding stock in the North Dakota Independent com- pany, operates about 86 exchanges under its own name in North Dakota while the latter company operates about 45. The two companies con- trol practically all important ex- changes in the. state, The petition represents that “it is the belief of your petitioners that a merger or consolidation of their respective telephone systems in the state of North Dakota will be advan- tageous to the persons to whom ser- ice is rendered by both companies, and in the public interest, and will bring’ about more favorable operat- ing and managerial conditions.” Under the proposed merger the name of the North Dakota Independ- ent Telephone Company, which oper- ates in Bismarck, would become the Northwestern Bell Telephone Com- pany. JOHNSON IN MINN. PROTEST Washington, Jan. 26.—A protest against’ the selection of the Minne- sota Republican delegation to Cleve- land at a convention instead of a primary was telegraphed to St, Paul today by Hiram Johnson, understanding in milling circles, that the mills are being closed be-| cause they are driven out of business | by the North Dakota state mill and | elevator at Grand Forks. | The North Dakota state mill has} sought to make its chief market | North Dakota, and according to the | announcement made a few months! ago by C. E, Austin, general man- | | | ager, it sold flour at less than cost in order to establish a market, The results of the closing of the Russell-Miller mill in Bismarck are Loss of 10 to 25 employes. | Loss to farmers in this section of a wagon market for wheat, which resulted usually in higher prices be ing paid them, payers of $1,151.44 cach year paid on the mill. s to business ten of the pat- ronage of the employ The gain is to the city of Grand| Forks and the state flour mill there. H. C. Bjerke, manager of the local plant, will be transferred and A. W Snow will be in charge of the cle- vator and will buy grain here. The employes will be given employment at other mills of the Russell-Miller company as fast as they can be ab- sorbed. The situation faced by the com- pany was chiefly the fact that the North Dakota state mill at Grand oe had cut in on the market for in flour in this state. It sold some of its brands at prices the private mill could not meet. The statement of the company for the first several months of its operations showed that flour wus sold at a Yoss and the manager stated this was necessary to establish a market. Others To Go? If the action is continued, it is freely predicted in milling gircles, it will probably drive 40 to 50 small flour mills in the state out of bus- iness. This will mean a gain in bus- iness for the state mill, a loss in taxes for the other mills, a loss to the farmers of a wagon market for their Wheap and force them to sell their wheat at these 40 to 50 points on a basis of shipping charges de ducted. Rise in labor and commodity cost: since the war, and the uncertainty of the flour milling industry, is also tu have caused some difficulty in the operation of plants in this state. The Russell-Miller company has never voiced a protest against the tactics of the state mill at Grand Forks in selling below cost, and it is understoud officials will. refuse to inake a statement in regard to the closing of the mills here. However, various employes of the company have been shown the situation as re- flected before the directors of the corporation, Who Benefits The railroads will gain as well as Grand Forks as a result of the ac- tion. If the state penitentiary lo- cated at Bismarck, for example, buy: from the Grand Forks mill, the rail- roads are benefitted. One Iseal man pointed out (Continued on Page 3) this peare’s dictum that “Conscience doth make cowards of us all” is all wrong. Without conscience, the world would soon be in a state of moral chaos. The little monitor of the soul bids us undo the wrongs we have done others and to make restitution so far as in us lies. Instance—the fol- lowing letter written by a former North Dakota young ‘lady who was formerly in the employ of a La Moure attorney to whom it is ad- dressed: “Dear Mx 8 “You will undoubtedly be very much surprised to hear from me at this time. But it is God who prompts me to write this letter. | “You will remember that when I left. LaMoure my plan was to come back in two weeks, but en account of the illness of my mother I did not return. On ac- count of intending to return I took the office key with me; and I also unintentionally got some rubber bands which ‘I happened to slip over my hand when type- writing, etc. “Now, this confession may seem a very absurd thing to you —and it also seemed a small is [UP wired his endorsement and asked him to be a candidate, CORNERED BY POLICE, YOUNG BANDIT SLAIN ictim of Bullets of Minne- apolis Officers While Com- mitting Robbery Minneapolis, Jan. 26.—Cornered in the basement of a grocery store here by a police gun squad, one youth was shot and killed and anoth- er was captured today as the result of attempts by the pair to rob a safe, police announced. Letters found in the dead man’s pocket bore the name | of Peter C. Johnson of Burnett, Wis. The youth arrested gave the name of William Carson, 18, of Detroit, Mich. He told the police the slain nian was 26 years old and was mar- ried. Authorities are trying to lo- cate relatives at Burnett. The shooting occurred, police said, when Johnson drew a pistol as the police appeared. A charge from # shotgun struck him in the neck be- fore he could fire 30 KNOWN DEAD, MANY INJURED IN EXPLOSION everal Injured in Illinois Mine Disaster Not Ex- pected to Live Johnson City, Il., Jan. 26.—<By the A. P.)—A checkup today defi- nitely placed the number of dead in yesterday's mine disaster at thirty Two more are .reported missing Fight fre in hospitals and two are not expected to’ recover. Illinois mine authorities, the coro- ner and officials of the Crerar, Clinch and Company, owner of the east mi where the explosion occurred, hands in an effort to determine the cause of the blast, which is believed to have resulted from spontaneous combustion of coal “damp” and dust. The dead included Herbert McCul- lough, mine manager, and his assist- ant, J. Ford. In several cases two members of the same family—father and son—were killed. LAMOURE GIRL MAKES RESTITUTION FOR “THEFTS” ATTORNEY FORGOT La Moure N, D., Jan. 26.—Shakes- | thing to me to write about; hence one reason why I have not written you before. Things that seem small and simple to us are great in the sight of the Lord; and I have decided to obey Him, regardless of what people may say or think. “I am enclosing my check in the sum of $1.00 to atone for my guilt and I also ask your forgiv- ness. “Both mother and father have passed away since I was at La- Moure. Mother passed away two. years ago last June and father passed away last Fourth of July. IT am now attending the Bible School in St. Paul. “Am sending office key under separate cover.” The attorney to whom this letter was addressed was deeply impressed by the honesty of his former steno- grapher. In a gracious reply he com- mended her piety and fine sense of honor, assured her that he had never missed the rubber bands, and said that it gave him pleasure to return her check. The curious part of it is that'the attorney is wholly unable to recall the young lady in question, secured leases from Mr, Fall fyr tie oil reserves in Wyoming and Califor- nia. The President asked the Depart- ment to furnish him at the earlies possible moment with a report o: the question whether the leases pr tect the interests of the government The inquiry is separate from t) instructions given the Departme of Justice, which issstudying the ev dence to determine whether ther has been proof of fraud but both ac tions are directed toward the sam end. The purpose is to ascertain de- finitely whether the lease shouid be cancelled. Zevely’s Testimony Before the same committee which kL. Dohney, California oil mag- nate, told yesterday he had loaued Mr. Fall $100,000 on his personal note while he was secretary of the interior, J. W. Zevely, personal coun- sel to Harry F. Sinclair testified yes- terday ‘that Mr. Sinclair had loaned Mr. Fall $25,000 in Liberty bonds on a personal note three months after he retired from the cabinet. As the testimony now stands, the Dohney loan was made more than a year before the Dohney interests obtained the lease of the Elk Hills, Cal., naval reserve, while the Sin- clair loan was made more than a year after the Sinclair interests received the lease of the Teapot Dome, Wyo- ming, reserve. Cabinet Discusses Case Developments in the senate in- quiry were discussed by the cabinet. Afterwards the president was repre- sented officially as regarding some of the testimony to point to criminal action. The executive is reluctant to believe that anyone has been guilty of any criminal intent, but he feels that the evidence already adduced requires explanation and investiga- tion, In the president’s view, two ques- tions already are indicated. One, and the more important, to bring to justice anyone who has dealt with the situation in any way that is in violation of the criminal laws. The other is to see whether the govern- ment has suffered any injuries by reason of the oil reserve lease: the leases do not seem proper, action looking to their annulment wil! be taken. With respect to possible criminal phases of the matters it was made clear that there was no disposition to jump at conclusions; that investi- gations must be made by the proper authorities before action is taken. WILLING TO CANCEL. Washington, Jan. 26.—E. L. Doh- ney, California oil magnate, who tes- tified he loaned former Inierio- Sec- retary Albert Fall $100,000 while he was a member of the cabinet inform- ed the senate oil committee today that he was willing to cancel his contract with the government. The gcvernment, however, would be called on to reimburse the Pan Amerizan Oil and Petroleum Company for ex- penditures already made. This is a modification of Dohney’s offer to cancel and a board of expert decided the contracts were not a vantageous to the government. Weather Report a es For twenty-four hours ending «: noon today.
