The storm was. virtually simultaneous at the three points.

BULLET KILLS LITTLE GIRL Denhoff Child Succumbs ia Hospital Here From Wound A rifle wound in the neck from a rebounding bullet shot at a tin can her eleven-year-old brother, caused the death last night at g lo- cal hospital of Lillian Reinke, nine- year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A. S. Reinke of Denhoff. While practicing on his father’s farm with his rifle Wednesday even- ing preparatory to going out shoot- . ing gophers, the boy aimed at a tin can target. The bullet struck the ean, rebounded, and pierced the neck of hig sister, who was standing sev-, eral feet behind him and a little to one side. The wound was not con-; sidered serious at the time, but yes- « terday Lillian’s condition got worse, aud the child was brought to a local | hospital here it evening. She died but a few hours after her ar- rival. The body will be. taken to Elk River, Minnesota, the old home of Mr, and Mrs. Reinke, where burial will take place on Monday.

SORLIE WANTS Believes Executive per- vision Will Make For Better Business Bringing within executive con- trol and closer supervision strictly appointive boards and their exe cutive officers is planned by G A. G. Sorlie. In his opinion it will make for better administration of the state’s business and also in some instances lower the vost of doing business, all 0? which im- presses the taxpayer. In line with this idea, a govern- mental objective by-the-way, which | is being emphasized by the gover- nor of Minnesota and other execu- tives, Gov. Sorlie recently address- ed a letter to W. C. Taylor of the game and fish board, in which he wanted to appoint or direct the ap- pointing of a secretary of the board, Mr. Taylor resented the sugges- tion and made some political capi- tal of the fact that the board would not or could not be dictated to by the chief executive. Gov. Sorlie letter in view of the controve stirred up by Mr. Taylor’s attitud states plainly the position of the y le j administration and the reasons for Boston, April 24.—Distinct earth | it: “I understand that the Board has the right under the law to appoint their secretary. At a meeting of the Board held some time ago a resolution was adopted, that you| intended to, appoint aM the ‘old wardens now in the State. I learn- ed also that the Board wanted to ec-operate with me. It seems to me that this resolution is not the right kind 07 co-operation. “As governor of the state I shall be held responsible to the people of North Dakota for everything during my administration. In the matter of the secretary of the Game and Fish Board, | shall in- sist upon having the privilege of appointing, or directing the ap- pointment of the secretary. I am not asking more in this than you would ask in my position. “In my conversation with Dr. Rice when he was here the other day, we agreed that April 17th would be & better time for the meeting of the board than April 14th. He suggested that it would be well for me to write you sug- gesting this change in date. You state in your letter that you might arrange to have the meeting at Minnewaukan postponed or trans- ferred and the date changed. This, I believe, will suit the convenience of everybody, concerned. “I have made the appointment of two men on the board and com- mission, Mr. M. A. Hoghaug o/ Devils Lake as. a member of the Board, and Mr. C. P. Peterson of Bisbee as Game and Fish Com- missioner. Please notify these ‘two men of the date and place of meet- ing, making the change if it is pos- sible to do so. Since Mr. Dickin- son’s term has expired it will be unnecessary for him to be present at the meeting, unless members of the board wish to confer with him on some matters. “My reason for calling Dr. Rice to Bismarck for a conference was because he is on a direct line and could get here on short notice. An- other reason was that I had heard he. wished to resign. from the Board. When he le‘t Bismarck after the conference he led me to believe he might possibly send in his’ resignation. “As for the letters you state you wrote me to which I have not re- plied, I took them for applications or rather endorsements for ap- pointments for jobs, and I handled them as I handle all sych applica- tions and endorsements. I do not answer these letters but file, them away, and when the time fot ap- pointment comes, I go through the list of men and women endorsed for the different offices. Your let- ters were handled the same as the rest of them, so I hope you will not take exception to that. “When I made the statement in my letter which you have quoted in your reply regarding: the date for the meeting, it was not my pur- pose to dictate the date of your meeting, but since one of the mem- bers, of the board had been here and had'informed me that this date would be satisfactory and that Bis- marck would be a proper place for the meeting, and in view of the fact that neither you nor Dr. Rice are salaried members of the board but on a per diem, I made the stg- gestion contained in my letter. Mv suggestion was approved by the two._members of the board also. “Since you are in the newspaper (Continued on pags three) | ‘GRANT’S GRANDDAUGHTER TO WED } ~ ort OS Copyright by Harris & Ewine The engagement of Princess Bertha Cantacuzene, caughtor of the former Julia Dent Grant, now Princess ene of Washington, to Bruce Smith, son of Mr. and Mrs Smith of Louisville, Ky., has just been annou ‘anddaughter of ee late Pr ‘ NEW GOVERNOR BEFORE WAR (By The 4 ted Press) | London, April 24.—New high marks | for the post-war period were made by the pound sterling today in its advance toward parity with the dol- lar, After touching $4.805 in the Bismarck and Minot Candi-| noon time quotations for a new ree-{ eaves ord, it continued to rise and closed! dates Withdraw in Favor |; 4, its highest mark since! of E.

E. A. Mahowald, paying teller, and Ambrose Nett, savings teller, and several patrons were in the bank when the robbers entered.

Roumania is reported to be moving troops toward both her Russian and Bulgarian frontiers. Jugo-Slavia is guarding her bor- der; indirect reports say Greece is mobilizing a part of her army, but will not intervene unless Greek frontiers are threatened. Greek ag- ents are reported en route to Bel- grade to renew negotiations for a Greek-Jugo-Siav alfiance. Roumanian intervention will fol- low any attempt to establish a com- munistic republic in Bulgaria, it is declared in dispatches from Buch- arest, where sensational accounts of the Bulgarian situation have been received. Belgrade dispatches to London say a serious diplomatic conflict between Roumania and Bul- garia appears possible unless Bul- garia_ abandons her suspicion of Jugo-Slav complicity in the campaign of terrorism in Bulgaria. Jugo-Slav officials deny that sistance has been given Bulgarian assassins. Sofia dispatches quote Minister of the Interior Rousseff as declaring that not over 1,500 persons have been arrested throughout Bulgaria dur- ing the campaign against terrorists. He asserts that Moscow furnished arms and money for the Subversives. Premier Tsankoff declared the statement attributed to the British Labor Party members recently that many had been killed in Bulgaria without trial “is sheer calumny.” He declared the situation is calm throughout the country. Other indirect dispatches, how- ever, continue to report that King Boris of Bulgaria is virtually a prisoner in the royal palace at Sofia under General Lazereff, head o2 the military Junta, ‘ofia continues apparently under virtual martial law. The Bulgarian militia is being increased as author- ized by the council of ambassadors at Paris to cope with the situation and Roumania, ‘Jugo-Slavia and Greece are protesting the increase.

Malone, mem- bers of parliament who were in Sofia at the time of the explosion of the bomb in the cathedral and who sub- sequently made an investigation into the Bulgarian situation. Messrs. Wedgewood and Malone arrived in Belgrade Wednesday from Sofia, The statement says that Charles S. Wilson, the American minister in Sofia, W. A. F. Erskine, the British minister, and the missionaries were doing all that was possible to do to stop the “ferocious reprisals against the communists.” The statement adds that the “Tzankoff (Bulgarian premier) ter- ror is now producing a series of reactions in Jugo-Slavia which are gravely significant; the scarcely sup- pressed enmity between the two gov- ernments appears to be on the point of open expression.” jioneers.
