AY, FEBRUARY 23, 1925 FINAL EDITION PRICE FIVE CENTS FARM HAND SLAYS GIRL HE LOVED TWICHELL AND LAWYER MIX IN ROAD INQUIRY Contractor and Committee Counsel in Tilt Over Man- ner of Answering = HUMOR IS INJECTED Twichell’s Appeal For Engi- necr He Said He Didn’t Like Brought Up Treadwell Twichell, contractor of the Richland county road project which the House Highway Conmis- sion investigating committee is in- quiring at length, provoked the com- mittee counsel, I. J. um, and committee members, was provoked himself at times and fu hed umusement for many of the specta- tors, at the hearing of the commit- tee this morning. Mr. ‘Twichell’s propensity for an- swering questions at gre length brought many objections from Mr. Graham and at times protestations from Twichell that his constitutional COUNT SALM TO CHANGE FLAG rights guaranteed him freedom in answering questions, Mr: Graham at one time protest- ed that Mr. Twichell was too valuable in his answers. “You don’t need to answer for the committee, the committee will take care of its own questions,” said Mr. Graham, “And I'm taking my own part,” re- torted Twichell, “You seem to want to take it all,” nt back Mr. Graham, Thates a weakne: plied Twichell, laughing. Mr. Graham sought to show that on the Richland county’ project, 14 1-2 miles for which final award to- talling over $117,000 was. made, that Mr. Twichell had worked on supple- mental agreements in writing in completing the rgd and that he was not. entitled to whgt he finally..was awarded, although it if not all paid. Twichel! declared that” he worked under verbal instructions. No Real Clay Mr. Twichell declared no real clay was used in surfacing Project 59, that it was a combination depending on what pits the dirt was taken from, the best pit being in a slough. In some places when he went down 18 to 20 inches he ran into quick sand, he said. “As we understand it, you say you never made a specific claim for yard- uge,” said Mr. Graham, IT have,” re- Twichell said that he presented orally an approximate claim. ‘He then said he had notes and memorandum of claims, He then said he thought he had notes und memorandam and they were in the highway department. Mr, Graham, then sought to show hy a letter written May 14, 1923, by ‘Twichell, that the road was not com- pleted. The letter spoke of Twichell putting on a new top. ‘Twichell said he didn’t. put on a new top. “Then you didn't mean what you said?” Graham asked. “I didn't mean what you said I said,” replied Twichell, The witness and counsel argued over construction of the letter and testimony. Mr. Graham. wanted .Twichell to answer a question about one para- graph of a letter. Twichell insisted he had to read it all. -This was fin- ally agreed to, and the letter, which was in Twichell’s handwriting, was handed to him, “I guess you'll have to read your own handwriting,” said Mr. Graham. “That's one advantage I have,” said Twichell, smiling, Another Letter Another letter written November 10,, 1920, to an engineer of the Highway Comission said that Section A of the road was about finished and Section B needed much work, The letter also said it was no disgrace for Twichell, working on such a job and in view of financial con- ditions, to admit he'was hard pressed financially. ‘Twichell asserted, no supplemental agreements were made on Richland county project. Graham showed a letter from Mr. Myhre to Twichell saying he was enelestha supplemen- tal agreements on thé Richland county project. ‘ “If they sent them I neyer receiv- ed them or I would answer,” he said. Twichefl later said, on questioning, he received a letter from W. G. Black, chief engineer, saying that $34,000 was due on the work and Black sent a man to Richland coun- ty to show figures to the county board. Twichell said he went to his brother and said the figures were not right, were too low. A letter from Twichell to Black said the “old lot” had given him the wogst of it, meaning thé former Highway commission. The letter said he wanted opportunity to prove his contentions, that he should not lose $50,000 on the work “be- cause they tried to trim me.” He said he’ owed much money and didn’t want to.see the job lose money. He appealed to Black for a settlemen' “What time did you quit work in Richland. county in 19227” Twitchell 0, rom abroad that Count Ludwig Salm, the husband of (Millicent Rogers, New York actress, is contempiating his adoption by a Hungarian named Covaos. This, it is suggested, is in orcer to block any move the Rogers may make to have the count’s lage with their daughter annulled in the New York courts. The count had ob- tained a divorce in Hung: : to his marriage to Miss Rogers, but inasmuch as the Hungarian laws provide that only citizens of that country, may be divorced there, and as a result of the war, the count ranks ag an Austrian, it would ‘be ea to have the marriage annulled on the grounds that Salm’s divorce was invalic. By b garian citizen, Salm hopes to block any such move. shown refereeing a tennis match at Cannes, where he is now.

Boot- A proposed law making it ille- |leg channels were being explored gal for # farmer to sell products, [here today by the police in an effort outside of a cooperative market- ing pool with which he had sign- ed a contract was killed by the House of Representatives in morning session today. The measure—House Bill No. 153—was sponsored by the North Dakota Wheat Growers Associa- tion, The chief, bone of conten- tion in the provisions of the bill, an elaborate measure framed cover cooperative marketing, was the section penalizing a farmer for selling outside of a pool. i When the. measure was rea ed, Rep. Morton of Dunn county, | tolf the House he was not op- | posed to the spirit of the mea- | sure but believes that people were not sufficiently informed | and educated as to’ cooperative marketing to accept such a dras- tie provision. He said eventually they would desire such protec- tion be given such organizations. There was no dissenting vote when the measure was indefin- itely postponed, without a record to learn the identity of moonshiners who put to death a patrolman and a former police officer who had turn- ed “high jackers.” The victims were Burt G: and George Peters. It elieved th ere killed late last Tuesi: heir bodies were uncovered terday in the st Bullins in a e from which they are ‘known to have removed more th 200 gallons of moonshine whiskey last Sunday.

Search for the men was instituted police Saturday after two women h whom they had associated re- ported their disappearance and told of their dealings in liquor.

It was sug- | gested they might have been killed | when they returned to the moonshine rendezvous to exact tribute for) their silence after having robbed} the cache. Another theory was that th were murdered by the meon- shiners while posing as federal ag- ents and a third that they were lured to their deaths in revenge for stealing the whiskey. The river bottom section where the moonshiners carried on their op-| erations is known as the “jungle.” It} is an uninhabited region, marshy | and overgrown with high weeds and willows. [session left, the 19th general assem- bly of North Dakota was speeding ‘up its bill manufacturing machinery today to dispose of a great volume of work yet before it. In the process of selecting measures’ from the.large number of bills before it, the assem- bly last week began to kill as well as to make laws in volume, and the accelerated pace was expected to con- tinue for the next two weeks. Under the rules of the legislature, House and Senate must dispose of bills originating in the respective branches by the end of the 50th leg- jislative day, so that in the last 10 days the House considers only Senate Jbills and the Senate considers only iHouse bills. A night session of the ‘House before the 50th day was in prospect. The policies of the legislative as- sembly, as indicated in the work of |the past week, are made more appar- jent from the bills which were killed ithan those that were passed. The \final record is yet to be written. Banking Legislation Radical ‘banking legislation | doomed. The Senate defeated the {Babcock resolution for a referendum ‘on a constitutional amendment pro- | viding a $10,000,000 deposit to aid {depositors in closed banks. The House rejected bills making deposit of public funds in the Bank of |North Dakota compulsory and pro- ividing for ,the establishment of |branch state banks on petition of 50 jpercent of the voters of a county. | Efforts to re e the present stem lof receivership of closed banks have jmade no headway. |. Most of the so-called radical bank- ing bills in the Senate have been jdefeated. They included the bill to |require stockholders of state banks jto place bonds to the amount of their capital stock in a trust fund, to guarantee double liability, a measure which, bankers said, would make the investment in a state bank so high that it would discourage the forma- Ition of new banks and cause many 'bankers to quit. The Senate also j“stepped” on bills making it larceny for an officer to boryow money from a bank, changed ’the radical pro- gram of limitation of borrowing, and every other proposal made to greatly ichange the present banking system. |_ The House fell in line with the ‘Senate program when it defeated a |proposal to reduce the contract rate jof interest to eight percent after January 1, 1927, and it is probable that the Senate bill, reducing this rate from 10 to 9 percent, will be passed. No headway has been made \with measures providing for a lim- Jitation of four percent to be paid to depositors by banks. State Industries | The: state industrial program also is virtually settled. The bill giving {Governor ‘Sorlie. full control of the North Dakota mill and elevator at Grand Forks. has two companion measures, a bill declaring the state elevator a terminal market and a measure designed to improve the warehouse receipts law. * Both are expected to be enacted. Financing jof the ‘mill was settled, although not jin’ a manner satisfactory to many members of the legislature. pe The majority in the House frown- ed on any proposal to make a direct appropriation to provide’ operating. capital for the state mill at Grand Forks, and instead the provision was adopted whereby, up to $500,000 ad- ditional may be bortowed ‘from the NEW PARTY IN’ U. §.

BRINGS GIRL BODY IN AUTO AFTERSHOOTING Props Corpse Up in Seat Before Friends and Then Commits Suicide MOTIVE IS MYSTERY Stella Scheffelbein, 19 Years Old, Killed by W. C. Holland Minot, N. D., Feb. 23.—An- ger over the rejection of his attentions is believed by Dep- uty Sherff Blane, officer of Ryder to have been the mo- tive which prompted W. C. Holland, aged about 27, a farm hand, to shoot and kill Miss Stella Scheffelbein, aged 19, and then to take his own life with the same gun. The tragedy occurred late Satur- day afternoon near Ryder in the southwestern part of Ward county where they both resided. Today in the town hall at Ryder, only a few feet apart the bodies of the girl and man lie. Both of them died al- most instantly, it is believed, with their lips sealed as to de- tails of the tragedy. A Cor- oner’s jury returned a ver- dict to the effect that the girl was slain by Holland who then took ‘his own life. Two shots were fired into the girl’s body and one bullet was used by Holland to end this life. The girl and Holland were driving in an automobile to a neighbor’s farm. Hol- land is believed to have shot the girl and wrapped his over- coat around the body allowing the head to recline in his lap. When he reached the farm they were going to visit, he ; ordered the parties they were visiting back from the auto- mobile, propped the girl’s body up in the seat, fired a second shot into her mouth, and turned the gun on him- melt dying almost immediate- y. Holland has been staying at the Scheffelbein farm since last October, working for his board and room. Efforts are being made to locate his rel- atives. No funeral arrangements have been made. i| New Air Chief _ Appointment Is Keenly Watched Washington, Feb. 23.—(By the A.
