' TUESDAY, JANUARY 27, 1925 MARKET NEWS Wire Markets By Associated Press WHEAT RISES, THEN FALLS Profit - Taking Forces Down Price After Big Jump ' Chicago, Jan. 27.—Wheat quickly ascended today ,to $1.98 a bushel for May delivery, a new high record, but heavy profit-taking soon led to a downturn which went well below yesterday’s finish. The rise was largely due to advices that Hungary, usually an exporting country, had made big purchases of wheat in Ar- gentina. Liberal buying of wheat in the United States for immediate shipment to Europe was also said to be in prospect. Opening prices which ranged from 1% cents decline to 1% cents advance, with May $1.97 % to $1.98, and July $1.70% to $1.71 were followed by a sharp gen- eral setback which carried May down to $1.96. Subsequently with buying on a big scale here and with good export bus- iness at the seaport, the market Jumped from $1.91% on May, a gain of 1 and % cent over today’s earlier price record. The close was unset- tled at a range varying from 1%e to 2%e net advance, with May at $1.911% to $1.91% and July at $1.87%. ST. PAUL LIVESTOCK South St. Paul, Jan. 27.—Cattle receipts 1,800. Slow.

McCay, and both declared work, he said, and Mr, Black said the contractor's work was unsatis- factory. Mr, Brown and Mr. Black, that vigorous corrective steps had been taken while the work was in progres Rep. in of Slope vounty, how- ever, wag inclined to defend the sub- contractor, Mr. Brown said another contractor on a project squth of Hurdsfield was not doing his work satisfactorily, and he and Mr. Black complained vi- gorously and caused him to change the method. August Kranz, chairman of the board of county commissioners of Ward county, was called in. He in- formed the committee that a federal aid project was contemplated, that the commssioners de- cided they woud not do the work but did decide to open’ bids after the work had been’ advertised. The bids were so low that the con- tract was, let, he said. Ze was called on by. Highway Commission en- gineers apparently to show that the county commissioners and not the Highway Commission controlled the letting of federal aid contracts. Ellendale Rep. Burkhart said he had a com- munication complaining that a mile of road built by the State Highway Commission just outside ‘Ellendale cost nine times as uueh as a Ne lage road. .A. D, McKinnon, projec engineer for the Highway Commis: sion, said that the village road was @ part of a nine-mile federal aid project through the village and that therefore, the unit price had to be the same. He said that a change in the road had been made to avoid a grade crossing. There might be a difference in the amount of work on the road in the village and just out- side, he said, but declared the con- tract price basis had to be the same. He said the board of county commis- sioners of the county was satisfied. The State Engineer called atten- tion of the committee to the action of the board of county commission- ers’ session in Devils Lake in pass- ing a resolution approving the work of,the Highway Commission. The convention had not done this pre- vious to last year, Mr. Black said. Furchase of Automobiles Asked concerning the purchase of new automobiles by the Highway Commission Mr, Black defended this on the ground that all cars in use when he took office were about to fall to pieces, that it was necessary to buy eight or ten new automobiles, and said that it was necessary to have enclosed cars in sending men out on long trips in the country. A report that gravel used -on a road near the Turtle Mountains was shipped from Mandan, the engineer on the job specifying the gravel must come from there, was brought up. The chief engineer denied that he had issued an onder for gravel to be shipped from Mandan but said cer- tain specifications were provided. The chief engineer also asserted he| tonducted the department with 40 percent less help than formerly. Some of those expected to give statements against the Highway Commission failed to appear, What further steps will be taken by those demanding an investigation are not known. WOULD DEFEAT ROAD PROGRAM IN “GAS” BILL House Body Plans to Send Most of State Gasoline Fund Back to Counties MEASURE IS ADVANCED Final Passage of Bill Provid- ing Additional Gasoline Tax Is Expected The proposed two-cent gasoline tax bill sustained onsloughts in the House of Representatives this after- noon, after brief debate, and finally received the approval of the major- ity of the house, sitting in commit- tee of a whole, and probably will be passed tomorrow. The bill, house bill No. 45, would increase the pres- ent gasoline tax of one cent a gal- lon to two cents, giving the estima- ted $500,000 to be derived from the- additional tax to a highway fund. Representative A. G. Divet, Cass county, Independent, declared he was opposed “to any new scheme to raise taxes that does not provide an equal reduction of taxes in some other expense.” Representative F. A. Vogel, Mc- Lean county, Nonpartisan, declared that “I agree with my friend Divet in this.” “I cannot see that the system of trunk highways in North Dakota, costing as much as they do, are of any benefit to the farmers in gen- eral,” he said. Representative Twichell, Cass county, Independent, ppeakfng for the bill, declared that a state high- way fund must be created by 1926 ifthe state is to take advantage of ROENTGEN RAYS DO THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE NOT TELL LIES, SO PRISONER DOLMAN’S ATTEMPT TO " FEIGN INJURY FAILS, SAY PHYSICIANS What Appeared to be Piece of Metal in the Head of Man Disappears on Second X- Statement o: Ray Examination, Is the f Physicians Because Roentgen Rays ‘ike figures never lie, A.

Representative Burkhart, Ward county, told the House that the highway committee had a plan he was not at liberty to divulge which he thought would satisfy Mr. Vo- gel’s objection. Highway Body’s Plan It is understod that the Highway committee has a proposal to place about 25 percent of the money de- rived from the gasoline tax and in- creased motor vehicle license in a state highway fund and let 75 per- cent of it revert to the counties to be used under’ county supervision. This method is opposed to the pro- posal of the North Dakota Good Roads Association, which sponsored the introduction of the highways measures. The Association proposed the creation of a state highway fund, so that building of main trank line roads would be Yaken away en- tirely from the’counties and placed under the State Highway Conmis- sion. The house received four bills to- day, one of which would repeal the law requiring military training at the state normal school at Ellendale. Rep. Root, who introduced the bill, said President Black of the institu- tion informed me the students had no equipment and had been unable to get any, and that the Adjutant- General favored the abolition of the requirement for military training unless megns could be found to make it advantageous. One Bill Fails House bill No. 54, which provided for a reduction in the pay of election board officials, failed of passage, not receiving a constitutional ma- jority. The vote was 54 ayes, 51 noes, 8 absent. Rep. 0. F. Anderson, Williams and: McKenzie district, urged passage of the bill, declaring it would save the taxpayers $23,000 on each election. The bill ptovided a fee for election board officials of $4 per day, where the n&mber of votes did not exceed 100, and $1.00 for each additional 100 votes or major fraction thereof. Appropriation bills for the state institution for the feeble-minded at Grafton and the State School ‘for Science at Wahpeton passed. House bill No. 5, a good roads measure, was indefinitely postponed, since an identical measure is under consideration, Stop, look and listen signs along Chinese railroads generally take the his head.” When was gone. Dr, Fisher-last night adyised press representatives that he was prepar- ing a complete statement. “I do not hesitate to qualify this man Dolman as a faker of the first degree. We have had more trouble with him than any man in the history of the peni- tentiary. I do not dispute that the man has a head injury—sustained in an automobile accident before he was sent\to the p ~ but there is no doubt that he is staging an un- usual attempt at the present to se- cure his release.” The doctor declared he was pre- paring a full history of the Dolman case to be ready some time within two or three days. “Dolman has had every possible care a man could ex- pect, and charges of neglect are wholly preposterous,” he said. From Minot Dolman, formerly of Minot was arrested last of forgery ono persons. He was tri sentenced to the state March 1924 to serve u term of eight years. A dope fiend, accord- ing to Warden Lee, he was placed in the hospital at the penitentiary and ted for the dope habit, showing ch progress that he was eventually made a “trusty” and given work on the prison farm, On July 3 he made a break for liberty and made his way to Montana where he was appre- plaint of Fargo convicted and prison on City and returned to the prison Aug- ust 1, the recorfs show. Ten days ago Mrs. Dolman came to Bismarck and has twice a day since interviewed Attorney General Shafer in an effort to secure release of her husband and permission to take him to the Mayo hospital. Dolman, or Mrs. Dolman asserts that upon return to the prison after his capture in Montana August 1, he was placed in the dungeon, The air {pump quit working and Dolman fainted, falling against a toilet bowl in such fashion as to fracture his skull. It is also charged that later he was placed in the dungeon and steam released into the room, Exhibits Records Warden Lee exhibited his records jto show that “Dolman ‘has been one jof the most untractible convicts we ever had in the prison.” “We know and have the records to show that Dolman was in an auto- mobile accident in 1921 suffering a fracture of the skull. It might be barely possible that he may have fainted some time or other and fall- en so as to injure his head, How. ; ever, stories of deliberate withdrawal of ventilation from the dungeon, are ridiculous” said Warden Lee. “Dolman was in the dark room two days and then was assigned work in the twine plant. Once while in the twine plant and once while on the recreation grounds, he fainted, Dr. Fisher, the resident physician at the form of pictures showing the danger of trespassing on the tracks. penitentiary found nothing especial- ly wrong with him.

This trouble can easily be pre- vented by frst cleaning the shovel + thet it is absolutely free from dirt, heating the metal part, and then cov- 2 it well with melted paraffin or wax. (When the paraffin is cold, the shovel can be used, and it will be found that the snow will not stick.
