The state tax commissionet’s office expects a greatly increased return from federal taxes. The divisional of- fice of the federal bureau h received more returns, but pe haps not so much money as last year, because of the reduction made in rates by Congress last a year. Washington, March 16,—The in- come tax penalty clause falls at the stroke of midnight today on the heads of alP who have not by then filed due returns for 1924.

This decision was reached by the bureau after an inquiry lasting about three months. It was prompted by a controversy among American historians as well as Indian tribes asto wheth- er the “Bird Woman” who attain- ed fame as a guide of the Lewis and Clark expedition in 1805, ac- tually was buried in the grave at Fort Washakie marked with a tablet to her mene of this week. With a sherp reduction in the to- tal of taxes due from the majority of taxpayers made certain by the new two percent rate on all small in- comes and the one-quarter reduction in net tax allowed on earned incomes of $10,000 and below, Treasury offi- cials were uncertain in their specu: lations as to how far this might be offset by increased returns from the higher brackets.

Some expo: ses also will be less, while on the other“ hand some are likely to be larger than was anticipated, of which the refunds cf taxes is an in- stance.

County Attorney John R. Foley and Deputy Sheriff John Jacobs, who hold the warrant for Sylvester's ar- rest changing embezzlement of $1,650, arrived here.late Saturday from Wa- basha, bent on seeking information regarding Sylvester's hunting expe- ditions. The officials also interview- ed the uncle of a 12 year old Mid- tleton, Wis., boy, who claimed he saw Sylvester a week ago Saturday. It is the theory of police officii working under the direction of Sher- iff Anna Fitzgerald of Wabasha, that Sylvester, when his money ran low in Chicago a week ‘ago, left that city and went to Middleton, where he is thought to have taken a train for northern Wisconsin or Minnesota, NEW ASSISTANT IS APPOINTED Washington, Mar, 16.--Renwick ‘W. Dunlap of Kingston, Ohio, was named today by President Coolidge as Assistant Secretary of Agricul- ture. was broken up last August when five men wete arrested in Minot, govern- ment operatives said. One other member went to prison for 15 years, two others were let go, and Riley has a state charge pending against him. He was not, however, arrested with the gang. Morrison had already spent eight} years in prison, in Montana and in Canada. He resisted the charge, and was represented by attorneys. Morrison, it was alleged, left the Riley farm last January, drove to Garrison, looted the «postoffice of about $806 in stamps and about $300 in currency, and returned to the farm at night. * The breaking up of the gang marks the finish of the last of a gang, of yeggs which have operated exten- sively in North Dakota in the last| two years, government operatives say. Exploits of Gang The exploits of the gang became widely known when Sheriff Spicher of Minot and Chief of Police Dan Dougherty rounded up the ring lead- ers. Sheriff Spicher, here for the. trial, related how the gang stole automo- biles, robbed banks, stores and other places of business throughout North Dakota. They would take automo- biles to the Lee farm south ‘of Minot, change the numbers, paint them and dispose of them, he ‘declared. An elaborate plant was maintained for the changing of the numbers on stol- en automobiles and for repainting them. * The jextent of the gang's depreda- tions “are not entirely known.

Attorneys in Teapot Dome Law Suit TO REVERSE ACTION Approach Liberty Bond Matter Another Way Cheyenne, Wyo., Mar. 16—Evidence intended to reveal the secrets of the bank accounts of Albert B. Fall, former Secretary of the Interior, was barred from the record in the Teapot Dome Lease annulment suit here today. The ruling handed down by Fed- eral Judge T. Balek Kennedy, de- prived the Government of its only known means of attempting to prove an exchange of Liberty bonds be- tween Fall and Harry F. Sinclai whose Mammoth Oil Company was given the lease on the big Wyoming oil reserve. Judge Kennedy in his decision re- ferred to the matter in question as involving something of unusual im- portance to the plaintiff’s case, but that as the matter stands, it is mani- festly incompetent and will be bar- red until such time as it is shown to be competent. Judge Kennedy’s ruling left the Government's case up in the air so completely that a recess of ten min- utes was allowed to permit Owen J. Roberts and Atlee Pomerene, Gov- ernment counsel, to get their remain- ing witnesses in shape. After recess, Attorney Roberts an- nounced that he would reverse the procedure previously followed in an attempt to show the alleged passage of bonds between Sinclair and Fall by tracing the bonds from Sinclair to Fall instead of from the former Secretary to the head of the Mam- moth Oil Company. The court be- fore had warned Roberts that he was. approaching the matter “from the back door.” COOPERATION IN LITCHYILLE W. F. Reynolds Tells How Farmers and Business Men There Cooperate The town of Litchville, Barnes county, and the surrounding com- munity was highly praised today by W. F.

There were 540 people present Friday afternoon and 500 Friday at which Dr. Schalk and Miss Fletcher of the Ag- ricultural College, Mrs. Carey, Coun- ty Agent Callahan, and Mr. Reynolds talked.

Free lunch was provided for 450 people and a free movie show given. ‘Many activities are planned at hville, with farmers and business men cooperating, Mr. Reynolds said. Among the events is a stock show to be held in June. As an example of the enterprising spirit of cooperation which prevails, Mr. Reynolds said that last summer farmers hauled in gravel and busi- ness men spread it on the street, giv- ing the town’s business district good streets.

Contending that the injunction has been based largely upon the assump- tion that the property rights of the parochial and private schools grant- ed by the state would be impaired by the requirement.that children should attend public schools, they took the position that the court in deciding the issue, should ignore the invest- ments of private schools, . holding that any loss which might result from the exercise of a proper govern- mental function by the state did not constitute an unlawful taking of pro- perty. Counsel for the appellant on the other hand based their argument on the contention that the new school law violated the natural rights of liberty property secured by the Constitution, that it amounted to a denial of the rights of those follow- ing the useful occupation of con- ducting a school violated parental control over children, and exceeded the police power of the state, S.

GUARANTYFUND HAS PRIORITY) Attorney - General Rules Case Involving Funds The Depositors Guaranty Fund Commission: holds a priority over the United States government for moneys deposited in banks which have closed, according to an opinion given the Commission by the Attor- ney-General's office. ‘ou ask for the opinion of this office upon the question of the rel- ative priorities existing between the United States for deposits in closed state banks, which includes Indian funds, postal funds, postal drafts, etc. and the Guaranty Fund Com- mission for its moneys deposited in such closed state banks, and for which the statute of the State of North Dakota gives the Guaranty Fund a first lien,” says the opinion. “We know of no case which holds that the government is not entitled to a preference. _ The claim of the United States is founded upon Sec- tion 3466 of the Revised Statutes (Compiled Statutes, Section 6672). ‘Such statute gives to the United States only a priority as to the pay. ment out of the proceeds of ‘the estate of the insolvent. It is not a lien, nor does itesupersede or over- reach any valid subsisting lien on property. In other words, the Unit- ed States, is entitled to first payment out of the proceeds of the assets ‘after the satisfaction of all liens. If, therefore, the Depositors’ Guar- anty Fund has a first lien upon the Jassets of the bahk, it is entitled to exhaust its lien’ before the other credttors, including the United States, is: entitled to payment from the proceeds of the estate.” MORE THAN A MILLION TONS LIGNITE MINED Grand Forks, N.

The vote was 46 to 39, compared with the tie vote, 40 to 40, on which the nomination was first rejected last Tuesday, President Coolidge has announced he Will offer Mr. Warren a recess ap- pointment but the nominee has not indicated whether he will accept. Everyone tof the 39 Senators vot- ing for confirmation were Republi- cans. The opposition was a combina- tion of Democrats and Republican insurgents. Those voting against confirmation included: Frazier and Ladd, Repub- licans, North Dakota, and Shipstead, Farmer-Labor, Minnesota. The votes“gained by the opposition today were those of Senator Dill, Edwards, Gerry, Kendrick, and Smith, Democrats, and Howell and LaFol- lette, Republicans. The administra- tion forces gained the vote of Sena- tor Lenroot, Republican, Wisconsin, but lost that of Senator Reed, Re- publican, Pennsylvania, who are pair- ed with Senator McMaster.

The secret is the jerk lan-; guage, his own private code, whi enables him to carry on quite a con- versation with his helper, Al Rogers. “What time is it?” “How big an audience?” as well as: “Take up slack,” or “Pull up load,” all can be spoken by well calculated jerks on the life and air lines which encircle the diver’s body.

Senator Reed, Missouri, agreed with the West Virginia Senator that “Mr. Warren had been faithful to his trust” and added “but his trust was the sugar trust.” He then declared Mr. Warren had represented the “sugar trust as late as 1922.” Senator , Bruce, loud, walked Democrat, Mary- over and whispered to Senator Reed to speak loud- er.
