ESTABLISHED 1873 Govern WILLBE HELD, SORLIE SAYS Chief Executive Insists He Will Name North Dakota Senator COST WOULD BE HIGH Campaign Would Disrupt Program of Harmony in State, He Avers “There will be election.” Governor Sorlie, who returned last night, made this statement to The Tribune regarding the mehot by which a successor to the late Senator E. F. Ladd will be chosen. “{ said at Grand Forks and I say here,” he continued, “that an election at this time is not feasible. It would not be in ac- .cord with the program of hai mony that the administration following and it would cost all of $100,000.” no special is statement came in the midst of conflicting. rumors heard at the| capitol since Senator Ladd’s death. There are rumors that the governor has the right to appoint a successor, others that the law providing for such emergencies can be interpreted only in a way that the governor will be forced to call an election, and others that should the governor ap- point a senator who will not prove acceptable to the senate, in the end a special election will’ necessarily have to be called. + Emphatically repeating election will’ be called, Governor Sorlie declarede that under chis method every qualified citizen can become a candidate for office and that there would be at least 100 can- didates, No Immedigte Appointment Asked how soon a successar will be named, the governor said: “Not before some time. The state ix not suffering from the lack of a senator and the senate is not in ses- sion now. I feel that we ought to let Senator Ladd’s body cool off.” UNIONIZATION OF STATE MILL TO BE ASKED As a part of the nationwide drive of union labor for more members, special efforts have been made re- cently to increase the number of members of the flour and mill work- ers union at the state and ele- vator at Grand Forks, with the in- tention, when 100 per cent of the employers are signed up, of asking the state to sign a contract to oper- ate on a union basis. An agreement was signed with union workers on the ojd state-owned Drake flour mill, but the mill workers union at Grand Forks has been in- active for the last two or three years. It is understood that union men have offered as an inducement to signing up the mill as a union insti- tution that union men will cooperate in ‘urging North Dakotans to buy the state mill’s flour.

Smyth Use of common in public health work was urged by Dr. F. R. sense Smyth, county health officer, in an} address at the meeting of the coun- ty school officers held here to Miss Madge Runey, county super- intendent of schools, presided at the the first. of which opened o'clock this morning in Odd Fellows’ hall. Addresses were given this morning by President P. P. Bliss and J. W. Riley. Dr. Smyth delivered his address this afternoon. He said: “At a meeting of the doctors held in Bismarck last evening one of the speakers, a surgeon of large experi ence and chief of the surgical ser- vice of a large corporation employ- ing thousands of men, delivered an interesting address on the treatment of infected wounds, in which ‘he spoke of many methods of ‘treat- ment, in conimon use, but which in his experience he had found danger- ous in results. Common Sense Needed “This paper was discussed by sey- eral members and the consensus of opinion appeared to be that although training, skill and experience were of great importance to a physician, common sense’ was of still_greater importance and that this was some- thing -that each individual would have to acquire for himself. “In public. health wprk common sense will go. further and do more than all the health laws on the st ute books or sanitary codes, admin- tute books or sanitary codes, admin- istered without good judgment. “School officers who are charged with the proper construction and sanitary conditions of schools and the protection of the health of the pupils are usually neither trained sanitarians nor physicians. but would probably resent it being al- leged that they did not have good common sense. . For this reason all that should be asked of such officers from a health point of view is that they should use good sense and judgment in such official actions as are necessary to protect the health ditch. They were riding with H. B. Edwards, also of Woodsworth, and met another car on a slippery grade northwest of Jamestown. A loose steering wheel is blamed for the accident.

Plenty of Fresh Air “Plenty of pure, fresh air—in, as well as out of school rooms—with frequent -recesses and play out of doors, will do a great deal to keep school children healthy, happy and diligent in their school work. “Teachers in Burleigh county are instructed to exclude all children showing symptoms of sickness until it is determined whether or not such sickness is due to contagious dis- ease. School officers should always support teachers in doing this. “It is expected. that, with the opening of schools in Burleigh coun- ty this fall, simple and easily under- stood printed instructions will be posted in each school room for the guidance of teachers and school of- ficers in health matters.” Dr. Smyth’s address was to be fol- lowed by addresses by Miss Runey and Mrs. Nellie Evarts and the elec- tion of officers.

Mill Operating Loss The deficit for five months is ; Shown to be $114,256.60 in interest. jand depreciation and $3,565.01 in op- erating loss for the mill division. “Due to changes made in the charges made by the elevator depart- ment for handling wheat for the mill department, the clevator department has gained in income for this item alone about $4,000 and $1,100 for power purchased for the mill depart- ment, which was formerly charged at a fixed amount per month, and which is now at agtual cost,” Mr. Nelson re- ported. “This has increased the defi- cit for the mill department in the ;same amount for May.” Total Loss Is $778,027 The losses have been brought to $778,027.20 since the mill was opened \for business, the report shows. The report, which is made at the direction of the legislature, shows ‘grain worth $860,627.23 on hand May 29; products on hand worth $143,- 061.95, and other items in the inven- tory bringing it to a total of $1, 789.02.

Takes Up Will Stewart then took up the manner of his making of the Billy M tock will and scored that as a point in Shepherd's favor. “If he had been nursing the boy to slay him, wouldn't he have gotten someone else to draw the will?” asked Stewart. “That is one of the points he is going to have explained in the probate court in the will fight. He must face it, but if he had been try- ing to prepare an alibi, wouldn't he have somebody else draw the will so as to pass suspicions from him?” Stewart took up the testimony of the witnesses in the trial and an- alyzed it from his viewpoint for the jury. onth; to Ww: D IS DELAYED Chicago, June 25.—()—Comple- tion of the Shepherd murder trial was delayed today by the unexpected length of the defense's opening jury plea.
