The ‘conference, which began yesterday afternoon, continued today. Iver A.

B: 'Wineman,. Grand Forks; H. B.| {Thompson of Pembina, and F. E, Mc-| Curdy of: Bismarck. Probably the most important and far reaching of changes sought is a statute giving the states attorney the power to subpoena witnesses and ex- amine them before a court prior to| jissuance of a warrant for the arrest} of an alleged violator of law. M | Acker explained that this was not to} | give the states attorney mitre power| |to ferret out alleged violations of} i law, but in order to enable the states jattorney to determine ‘whether a crime has been committed. He de- |elares this would tend to eliminate ‘hundreds of trials in justice and oth-} jer courts where innocent parties may jbe made the victims of circuin- jstances. In many cases, it is said, the only opportunity a states attor- ney may have to determine whether there is basis for arrest of a per- {son is to cause such arrest and have a hearing before a justice of the peace. Court expense of trials which lare later dismissed on the basis of insufficient evidence, would be saved ‘counties through this system, it is4 urged. The filing of a complaint and the jissuance of a warrant of arrest against ‘a person charging him with {a crime in the eyes of the public of- ten operates like a libel and is harm- jful to his reputation, and the com- mittee explains that a law such as outlined above would often times | save @ person accused of a crime {from notoriety, cost of defense and ‘ignominy of arrest, Challenge To Jurors Another recommendation is that both state and defense in a criminal casé should have an equal number lof challenges to jurors. Present statutes give defendants double the number of ptremptory challenges al- lowed the state. A third recommendation would have the code governing in civil pro- cedure adopted in criminal. cases in selection of juriés.

The clincher |motion was applied in each so that ‘it will be impossible to reconsider | the action taken except by a two- thirds vote. The measures now go to the House, Senate Bill 62, the measure which licenses the sale of cigarettes was reported in hy the state affairs com- mittee last Monday, and so was on the calendar for final passage yes- terday. The report recommending the companion bill penalizing sales to minors was not received until to- day however, and after its adoption by a vote: of 39 to 9 the rules were suspended and the bill put on its third reading and final passage. No Debate + There was no debate on either of the measures when they came before the senate with the exception of the | stereotyped motions.

Against licensing the sale of cigarettes: Babcock, Benson, Hjelm- stad, Kaldor, Magnuson, Marshall, Miklethun, Olson of Barnes, Ward.

This bill came before the senate on a divided report from the com- mittee on banks and banking the jof 7 percent which was fixed as the imaximum in the original text of the bill be made 8 percent while the minority recommended the substitu- tion of nine percent. The vote was on the. acceptance of the minori report, which carried, and the bill was on the calendar for final pass- age today. Senate Bill 3, which would have made 4 percent the maximum in- terest rate to be paid by banks on !deposits, a report made by the ma- jority of the committee on banks and banking recommended its pass- age. There was no minority report, but on the floor of the Senate, Sen- ator Stevens of Ramsey moved its indefinite postponement. Both Senator Ingerson and Sen- ator Patterson spoke in favor of the passage of the bill, ‘the latter declar- ing that unless it was passed by the legislature a similar measure would be initiated, and carried by the people of the state. On a roll call vote Senator Stevens motion to kill the measure carried, the vote standing 26 to 23. Senator a Nonpartisan voted with the Inde- \pendents for indefinite postpone- {ment. With this exception the vote | was along party lines. In explaining his vote for the in- definite postponement of the bill, Senator Bond, of Ward county de- clared ‘that he believed that its pass- age would permit the banks in the {larger centers, operating under’ na- tion law would not apply, to draw| the deposits away from the state banks in the smaller towns thus} {working a great hardship on the bor- | rowers of the latter localities.

The four men—0O. J. Sorlie of Buxton, 0. B, Olson, formerly of Buxton, now state transportation of- ficer, Dr. Tronnes of Fargo and Gov- ernor Sorlie—-have tried to hold a re- union each year since their hunting experience in the North Woods six years ago, and this year they will gather in the Governor’s mansion. The four Dakotans occupied the front pages of many newspapers six years ago, in October, when they were frozen in on an island in the North Woods of Ontario, while on a deer and moose hunting trip. After three weeks on Flagg island they made their way out and finally reached a friendly Indian camp. The four had gone to the island in a launch, and were having a good hunting trip when the weather turn- ed bitter cold and their taunch was an frozen in the ice. A big boat of the Booth Fisheries Company was to free them, iffthis happened, but the cold was ‘so intense that the big boat could not make its way through the ice. After three weeks the party had to make a break, the weather moderating. They walked to the “Northwest Angle,” 18 miles, on the ice, and then had to walk 32 miles through timber and swamp country to a Man- itoba camp. There was 36 inches of snow on thé ground. Their food had dwindled away and only tea was left in the possession of the guide. They finally reached ‘an Indian camp and there obtained some bak- ing powder biscuits, and trudged on, stopping during the night to build.a e and dry their clothes. . They finally reached an Indian camp, then reached a small town and caught a train to Winnipeg. While the party was frozen in on Flagg Island, “fears were entertained for their safety, and stories of their Plight were carried far and wide. OCCUPATION OF RHINE TO KEEP PEACE HINTED French Premier Causes Sen- sation by Adopting Na- tionalistic Attitude HOLD GAS SECRE umber of French Veterans Dying From Gas During War Is Increasing Paris, cal fabric Jan. 29.—The whole politi- of France today was un- der the spell of yesterday's sensa- tional utterances regarding French security made ‘by Premier Herriot. These utterances now are generally regarded as a studied reply to Ger- many's latest mote ‘regarding ithe prolonged occupation of the Cologne bridgehead, Premier Herriot’s closest advisers have been unceasing in urging a conciliatory policy toward Germany while his Socialist supporters in the Chamber have been particularly sen- sitive on the question of occupation of the Rhineland, which they held to {be a sort of disguised imperialism. Yet the premier in what was point- ct out as one of the most significant passages of his discourse declared. “Holding the Rhine may be the last t of France to assure her securit; Nationalistic Attitude It was remarked in the lobbies of the chamber this morning that Mr. Herriot must have had the best of reasons for adopting a nationalistic attitude disrupting the government coalition. It is suggested that. one of these reasons is the discovery reported by the military control mission that Germany's equipment for manufacture, distribution and use on the field of battle of poison- ous gases remains intact as it exist- ed at the end of the war, while the deaths of French veterans who were gassed during the hostilities are increasing with distressing rap- idity. HERRIOT’S SPEECH Paris, Jan. 29.—Security was the main theme of Premier Herriot’s long awaited speech on France's foreign policy delivered before a great gath- cring in the é¢hamber of deputies yesterday. The premier occupied two hours of his three and a half hours address in drawing up a vivid, but dark, picture of Germany’s acu- vities in armaments, while he dis- posed of the problem of interallied debts in a brief, but, nevertheless emphatic manner. Warning to Britain Never before since he assumed power has M. Herriot spoken of Ger- many in the tones he used, and al- though he had the entire chamber, excepting the communists, enthusias- tically applauding and cheering him, the general interpretation through- out parliament was that his purpose was deeper than merely catering to the right groups—that it was a warning to the British government against the evacuation of the Co- logne zone.
