PRICE FIVE CENTS CHINESE MOBS ATTACK CONSULATES CITY ZONING LAW UPHELD IN DECISION W. H. Hughes Restrained From Continuing Erection of Apartment House PRS i 1 PERMANENT INJUNCTION Judge Jansonius Holds Act! of State Legislature Is Constitutional Bismarck’s zoning constitutional, in the opinion of | Judge Fred Jansonius, who handed down a decision late Saturday after- noon making permanent the te porary injunction issued to the City of Bismarck by- Judge Berry against! W. H. Hughes, restraining him fron| continuing with the erection of ai four-family dwelling at the corner of | Seventh street and Avenue C. city alleged in its — suit Hughes that the building w conformity with the zoning ordinance | enacted under authority of the 1923) zoning act of the state legislature. ‘The allegation was that the building was flush on the sidewalk line on the street when the zoning ordinance required it to be 10 feet from the! Property line, and that it was 15| seet back on another street when the ordinance required that it be 20 feet from the property line. Law Violated “There is absolutely no question but that the building as it is being erected is in violation of the ordi- nance of the city,” Judge Jansonius stated in his decision. “It is conceded that the lot is in the district known as “A Residential District.” So, the only question before this court is the constitution- ality of the Act. “It is elementary that every rea- sonable presumption is in favor: of the constitutionality of a statute en- acted by the legislature and approved by the governor. “The presumption is conclusive unless it is clearly shown that the enactment is prohibited by the state or federal constitution. ordinance is! this act is declared to violate is the prohibition against taking pri- vate property for public use with- out compensation. Community Welfare 4.“This provision of our fundamen- tal law cannot, of course, be in- volved, and if a citizen is being de- prived of his property without com- pensation, the courts should protect im. But this provision of the state and federal constitution does not’ mean that a person can put his property to any use he may wish. The provisions of the constitution do not extend so far as to deprive the state of the power to control the conduct of the individual as to pro- tect the welfare of the community. “By protecting the individual in his property, the state did not part with the power to protect iself or to promote its general well being. | “Where the interests of the in- dividual conflict with the interests of the community, such individual interest is subordinate to the gen- eral wetfare. There is usually a reciprocity of benefits resulting from limitations imposed upon the use of property by law. “It has always been held that the government in its exercise of the police power may impose restrictions upon the use of property in the in- terests of public health, morals and safety. “In later years legislatures have gone a step further, and courts have upheld the same restrictions may be imposed for the promotion of the public welfore, convenience and gen- eral prosperity of the community, and it is upon the latter theory this law stands. Adds to Beauty “The purpose of the law is to en- able cities to grow and develop in an orderly and harmonious wav. The building line provision of the zoning ordinance adds to the beauty and convenience of the whole com- munity. “It is my conclusion that this or- dinance, adopted in pursuance of legislative sanction, is not unconsti- tutional. “The evidence shows that the de- fendant has expended some $3,000 for a foundation, that will be ex- tremely hard to remove. I know of. no way this court can make an ex- ception in this case. If the defend- ants are not required to obey the zoning ordinance then, of course, no one else is. Law Constitutional “If the law is constitutional. and i inion it is, then all are bound ts provisions, if it is un- constitutional then no one is,bound by it. Sethe defendant contends that in- ~ junction is not the proper remedy, but that the city must enforce this ordinance by use of the penal law. “The answer to this contention is found in Section 8 of the law. which provides that a city in addition to other remedies may institute any appropriate action or proceeding to \. prevent such unlawful erection * * to rest: , correct or abate - violation. “An order may therefore be pre- pared making permanent the tem- porary injunction issu by Judge Berry at the former h e KIEL CANAL TRAFFIC GROWS Berlin, June 15.—Traffic through the Kiel Canal last year had more than trinled since the close of the World War and the total ton surpassed that of 1913.

This increase was due to the higher prices prevailing for grains, livestock, butter, eggs and potatoes and to heavier shipments of ore, forest and linseed products and less-than-carload lots of merchan- |dise. bs | As compared with a month ago, | however, there was an unseasonal de- cline of 1 per cent in money value of {business transacted. This decline was partly due to the high levels reaghed in April. Recessions were shown jin shipments of forest pro- ducts, linseed products and flour, and in the shipments and prices of live- stock. These recessions more than \counterbalanced gains in grain re- ceipts and grain prices and a quad- rupling of iron ore shipments. | Nine gities out of the eighteen that report building permits to this office exhibited gains in the valuation of | permits granted in May’ as compared j with last year, but the total valuation for the eighteen cities was 5 per cent below last year.

ORRIS W. ROBERTS, Official in charge. | | DEFENSE HIT — NEW BLOWIN. POISON CASE Net Permitted to Examine Witness on Conviction of Criminal Charge THRONG AT TRIAL Spectators Gather Early ‘to Hear Fiancee of Young ' McClintock Testify (By The ciated Press) Chicago, Juné15.—The defense to- day lost another hard battle when Judge Lynch ruled that William Ste- wart, counsellor for William . Shep- | herd, could not examine Dr. Amante ongetti as to indictment and convic- tion of a crime. ‘The court agreed Stewart might cross-examine the doctor as to his ;-medical knowledge and to the sources of his business. The ‘jury was brought in at noon and trial got under way again. Not Positive ‘ Upon cross examination Dr. Ron- gett! admitted that he was not posi- tive that Shepherd was the man who visited his hospital and inquired about a course in bacteriology and how typhoid germs got into a human body. A crowded court room of spectators attracted by newspaper stories that Isabelle Pipe, financee of William McClintock, would testify. today, was left to swelter in silence, more than an hour and a half at the opening of court while the attorneys argued law in the judicial chambers. It was the defense contention that it could cross examine Dr. Rongetti as to whether he had been convicted of a crime. The physician testified upon direct examination Saturday that Shepherd’ ‘had approached him about a. course in bacteriology and inquired. about tuberculosis and had.asked about how typhoid got into a human body, Doctor Convicted It was admitted that by the pros- ecution that Dr. Rongetti had been convicted and assessed a firle of $1,- 000 for selling diplomas stolen from Marquette University at Milwaukee, Wis., bit the state contended — the. crime of conspiracy of which Dr. Rongetti was convicted was not “tn- famous.” . The defense attorney contended that it was necessary to their case to show that Rongetti could not be be- lieved. ‘MANY FALSE TAX RETURNS AREREPORTED Penalty Required By Law To Be Enforced in State, Commissioner Says Many false income tax returns Jhave been made'to the state tax commission and the penalty required by law will be enforced in all cases, qecording to Ered Hanson, field au- itor of the state tay commission The penalty in this cdSe is $1,000. Several hundred tax returns on corporations ‘in the state are found to be either made out with intent to defraud or in an incomplete and negligent manner. Many. corpora- tions have failed to report altogether, Hanson said. On Final Trip The field auditor will shortly start ona trip at the completion of which he expects to have matters straight- ened out. Penalties will be assess- ed in most cases, as the income law provides. Thousands of dollars will be collected as a result of this trip, said Hanson. It‘ ‘ovided in the income tax law that “if any taxpayer without intent to evade any tax imposed shall fail to file a return of income or pay a tax if one is due.at the time re- quired by of under the provisions a correct returti of income’ or pay the.tax due within sixty days there- after, there shall be added to the tax an additional amount equal to five per cent thereof, but‘such additional amount shall in no case be ‘less than one dollar and an additional one per cent for each month or fraction of a ¢| month during which the tax. remains | unnaid.”” The law also provides that if a taxpayer does not voluntarily file a return of income within sixty days of the time required he shall be sub- ject to a'fine of not Jess than $10 and not more than $500, with interest of 1 per cent a month until the date of payment. 5 Liable To Fine Failure to pay a tax or any attempt to evade any part of the income tax ‘law makes the offender liable to a fine of not more than $1,000 to be recovered by the attorney general by action in court. Conviction also imprisonment or both. Double the amount may be assess- ed if an incorrect return it ‘not cor- rected or in case of failure to. file a return after notification by the tax commissioner. The commission- er may in ses determine the income of the taxpayer accdrding .to his own information. ‘ «THINK ITS CZAR’S RING Rotterdam, Jund 15.—An ‘emerald ting bought by a_Rotterdam jeweler for. about 50 cents, now is believed to be one of the Russian crown jew- els.

President Calles also regrets that Secretary Kellogg mentioned in his statement reports of an impending revolution in Mexico, “since this last affirmation tends to cast some alarm in the world in regard to the condi- tion of my country.” Declares Threat Is Made “The statement that the govern- ment of the United States will con- tinue to support the government of. Mexico only. so long as it protects American interests and lives and complies with its international en- gagements and obligations,” he de- clares, “embodies a threat to the ‘came to Dakota territory when sovereignty of Mexico that she can- not overlook and rejects with all energy.” Citing that the “statement under reference also affirms that the Amer- icam ambassador has succeeded in protecting American ‘as well as for- eign interests,” President Calles as- serts that “if he has thus succeeded he has no right to charge Mexico of failure to protect such interests and attention should be called to the fact that said ambassador does not rep- resent any other foreigner, but his own fellow citizens, and Mexico could not admit that without her previous authorization, the American ambas- sador should act in behalf of pe sons or interests alien, to those of his country.” , Imputation Is Rejected “If the government of Mexico, as affirmed, is now on trial before the world,” he says,” such is the case with the government of the United States as well those of other coun- tries; but if it is to be understood that Mexico is on trial in the guise of a defendant mv government abs lutely rejects with energy such impu- tation, which in essence would only mean an insult. DEATH RATE HERE IS LOW Only 242 Persons Died in County Last Year Burleigh county has one physician to each 600 of population, compared to one physician to each 1,300 pop- ulation in the state at large, but there is not a physician in the county outside of the city of Bismarck, ac- cording to the report of Dr. F. R Smyth, county health off'f:r, sub- mitted to the board of county com- missioners. Dr. Smyth stated in his report taat this situation makes it difficult at times to. get prompt medical atten- i ind results in failure to call physicians in mild case’ of conta- gious disease, so that such diseases spread rapidly. The report of the. county health officer stated that the total number of deaths in Burleigh county in 1924 was 242. giving a death rate of 15.5, per 1,000 population. The num- ber’ of deaths in the tural part of the county was 36, giving a death rate of 4.2 per 1,00% This, Dr. Smyth stated, is a very low death rate even for a farming community. ‘The village of Regan reports seven deaths but no births in the year, and five townships have neither births nor deaths. Ecklund township takes the lead from a’ health view. It re- ports eight’births to one death. BISMARCK BOY WINS HONORS AT HARVARD Franzo H.

MAN ADMITS HE MURDERED WEALTHY WIFE Los Angeles Dentist Makes Confession of Crime to District Attorney Los Angeles, June 15.—Convinced they have completed a chain of evi- dence to prove that Dr. Thomas Young, Los Angeles dentist, killed his wife, Grace Grogan Young, wi- dow of ‘the late Patrick Grogan, known during his lifetime as “the olive king,” independent of Youn confession, representatives of the at- torney’s office concerned themselves today with establishing a motive. The first object of their search was a will which they had been in- formed Charles Patrick Grogan, son of the slain woman, had made in favor of Young within the past fort- night at the request of Young. Young Grogan, who was the princi- pal heir to his father's estate, had continued to live with his _step- father up to the minute the father ad confessed to killing his mother. Young has insisted he killed his wife by istering anesthetic because of resentment over the fact that she insisted from the day of their marriage on “being the boss” in their home and that she had slapped him in the face during a quarrel in cafe. YOUTH SHOT _ IN FACE ON HUNTING TRIP Orvil Wilson, 15, son of Mr. and Mrs. George Wilson, is in a local hospital suffering with a bullet wound in his face, and \Roy Gable, 15, son of Mr. and Mrs. Joe Gable, is under arrest in the custody of his parents as a result of a hunting trip the two boys took yesterday afternoon.

In receat years he was joined by FE. \'. Quim- by, whose father formerly was a Fargo business man. Mr. Kellogg saw all the vicissitudes that fell to the lot of the early newspapermen in North Dakota. Through lean years, when support was meager, he kept the daily going as a matter of local pride. Mr. Kellogg has made the Alert one of the most influential dailies in the state and it has time and time again been felt as a strone force making for advancement and civic righteousness. Its progressiveness and the reliability of its news col- umns have gained it a wide and rep- resentative lation. Aided Development Through all the strenuous period of state making, Mr. Kellogg was a considerable figure in moulding pub- lic opinion and became widely pop- ular with the newspaper cult al- though not averse to taking issue with his contemporaries at times. Mr. Kellogg's capacity as a bu: ness man as as an editor is evidenced in the growth of the in- stitution of which he has been th head and he may be reckoned among} ate-makers who accomplished in the development of North NEW TWISTER HITS VILLAGE IN MINNESOTA Hayfield Business District Wrecked and Hcmes Dam- aged by Cyclone Rochester, Minn., June 15.—Hay- field, thirty-five miles from here, was recovering from the strain of playing host on Saturday to a torna- do that swept through the town, wrecking the business disttict and a dozen homes and causing $150,000 damage and on Sunday to over 6,000 visitors who swarmed over the ruins and hampered the work of rehabilita- tion.
