DBATHTAKES | “FIRTH VICTIM AT DICKINSON Dr. Banks, of North Dakota! University, Is Preparing His Report — i Dickinson, N. D. Feb. 23.—()—| Funeral services were conducted here today for Sister Secundia, the fifth} nun at St. Joseph's hospital here to} die from an unexplained cause in two weeks. Sister Theocara, the fourth vi * was beried Monday in the Hillside plot, where the three sisters who preceded her in death were buried. Dy. H Banks, dean of the school | of medicine at the University of} North Dakota, was preparing his re- port today for the coroner after a post mortem examination of the body | of Sister Theocara. H Report Ready in a Wi i Dr, Banks said report | would be read s jury i xbout a week. ined’ to} « ment on the cause of the deaths} until his report was in the hands of the jury. The coroner's jury will meet as soon as the doctor's report is ready fo onsideration, An inquest was) rted Sunday but discontinued Mon- vhile the medical men conducted | their investigation, Oné theory, udvanced by local phy- sicians prior to the arrival of Dr. Banks, was that the five sisters had inhaled fumes from a wood stain used in the decorating of a new wing on| the Hospital. This stain paral d the respiratory organs of the nu ins thought. rood Stain Theory Improbable | Dr. William T. Pearce, head of the school of chemistry at North Dakota | Agricultural college, Fargo, expressed , the belief Monday night that this 2 theory was improbable. While Dr. Pearce did not say that the deaths | could not have been caused by fumes | from wood stain, he said that such a happening would be without pre- cedent. The five sisters inspected the new wing of the hospital together. They were taken ill and the deaths followed within two weeks after the first in- = Speetion, ‘A peculiay phase of the case is none of the employes at the hospital, ; S Gr the workmen who applied the{ stain, were affected. TAX PENALTY | WILLBE ADDED, IN FIVE DAYS, Payments Have Been Coming in Better This Year Than | For Several Years | Tax payments this year have <peen better by far than for sev- eral years past, according to County~ Treasurer G. _ Spear, who, with his several assistants. is kept busy almost night and day in making out tax receipts. | A large amcunt of taxes still re- mains to be paid, however, and only “five days are left in which payment} may be made without an addition- ; al five per cent penalty. Mr. Spear urges all property owners to bear = this fact in mind and if they have not yet settled their obligations t: | . the county, they should do so this = week to avoid penalty. The law provides that the per- = senal property tax, one-half the real estate tax, and all the special taxes must be paid before March 1. After that date the five per cent spenalty is added. Inasmuch as the # last day of February falls on a Sunday this year, however, Treas- urer Spear will accept all payments made on March 1 without penalty. ‘All. payments made on March and thereafter must include the penalty, he states, except such re- mittances as come in by mail and are.pestmarked March 1 or before, payers have until October 15 to pay the second half of their real estate taxes, after which date an- other penalty of five per cent is a Many Leave Over Soo Line For the State Conventions Some 75 people left Bismarck cn | the Soo line this morning for Devils Lake to attend the state Republican and I.

IN FAVOR OF DEFENDANT R. C. Oliver of McClusky De- clared Solvent — Is a Bona Fide Farmer R. C. Oliver of McClusky is not insolvent and he is a bona fide farmer, according to decisions re- turned by a jury in federal court here late last night on the two points given to the. jury for con- sideration, Creditors of Mr. Oliver were en- deavoring to force him into invol- untary bankruptcy and their action was being contested in the case brought before, the court. The de- fendant* contended that he was a farmer and therefore, under the law, could not be forced into bank- ruptey. The court this morning began trial of the case of E. D. Fogle of Linton vs. Lakeside Bridge Steel company of Milwaukee.

[joined, and ¢ _jout of him in that number of COUZENS HOT ONE T0 LIKE A SPANKING Senator From Michigan Very Much Offended by Senator From Utah By CHARLES P. STEWART (Special Correspondent) _ Washington, Feb. 23.—No man as big as Michigan likes being spanked, partic- ularly in public. True, it was a parliamentary, not a physical, spanking. Nevertheless, Senator Couzens is thoroughly sore about it, and, belicve you him, he won't get over it until he gets good and even. It all began with a speech Cougens wanted to make in the Sonate in las of continued income tax pub- icity. ‘ Senator Smoot of Utah wanted in- come tax publicity abolished. Smoot was ina ‘hurry, too, He was anxious for a vote, without waiting for any of Couzens’ oratory, Speech Not Given Couzens isn’t, and doesn’t pretend to be, much of a parliamentarian. The Utah senator’s a shark at Somehow or other, as a result of some parliamentary hokus-pokus that Couzens didn’t gét onto until too late, a vote setually was forced be- fore he'd had a chance. to express himself, and income tax publicity was knocked out, leaving his speech seeth- inside ‘him. ‘hether or not Smoot really penne le the didn’t. Couzens, however, doesn't believe it. Couzens is a plain, blunt man, and ie way ‘he voiced dissatisfaction left nothing to the imagination. “I consider that I was tricked by the senator from Utah,” he. pro- claimed, and then ‘he proceeded to serve notice that that was the last, time ‘he'd fall into any trap set by that particular fellow legislator, for in a parliamentary sense, he wasn’t going to have any more to do with him. Here was where he let himself in for his spanking. Dawes Scores Vice President Dawes, as all world knows, isn’t a bit friendly speech-making, except his own, and probably he was very well pleased that Couzens had been euchred out of his chance to indulge in some. Senator Reed of Missouri gave him a chance to rub it in. Reed’s a sti¢k- ler for the upper house rules, which don’t permit one senator to roast an- other one in anything ‘but the most Scandalized at he boldness with which Couzens was breaking them, he made the point of order that the latter must. quit it. Dawes joyfully agreed and told Couzens to subside immediately. How mad Couzens was may — be judged from his answer, a little lat- er, when Dawes offered to let him ¢' ahead again, if he'd behave. a “In the contemptuous mood I'm in at present, I couldn't do it,” he re- that was the last more the the to Congressional Record. : There won't be any duel, but neither will there be any Damon and Pythias business for some time, between Sen- ator Couzens of Michigan and Sena- tor Smoot of Utah. i ‘Also, score one for Vice President Dawes, as a presiding officer.
