MAY HAVE MAN WORKING WITHOUT PAY Situation May Follow Veto of Appropriation For Indus- trial Body Secretary GAMMONS TO KEEP JOB Reference Is Made to Former Case Concerning State Tax Commissioners Possibility that North Dakota will have a full-time state official work- ing for nothing after July 1 existed here today as the result of the action of Governor Sorlie in vetoing part of the appropriation for the state in- dustrial commission. The prospective donor of his ser- vices is John Gammons, secretary of the commission, and political arch- enemy of the executive who lopped $5,600 off the general appropriation bill which had been intended to pay Gammons’ salary. The legislature rejected a recom: mendation by the governor that Gam- mons’ office be consolidated with some other office on the ground that there is too little work to keep the industrial secretary busy. The gov- ernor’s avowed purpose in cutting off the appropriation was to reduce ex- penses but it is known that there was no sorrow on his part at the thought that Gammons would be left without an appropriation for his pay. Former Case Cited Speculation was current as to whether or not Gammons could force | the state to pay his salary and refer- ence was made to a case which de- veloped some years ago in which no appropriation was made to pay the j salaries of state tax commissioners, then three in number. The statute provided that the tax commissioners should draw salaries of $3,000 a year. | The matter was appealed to supreme | court which ruled that the salaries | must be paid as provided by law. The instant case differs, however, in that the law creating the . office | of industrial commission — secretary does not specify what salary he shall | receive. That point was left to the judgment of the industrial commis- |The point is made that the gov- ernor’s vote in insufficient to control | the industrial commission of three members, the other two being politi- cal opponents of the executive. A ! peculiar quirk in the law, however, gives the governor power to veto any! | affirmative action on the part of his, two opponents. ‘ This was interpreted to mean that any impasse may result if the gover- Nor attempts to remove Gammons or if the majority attempts to find a° j means of paying his salary by at | transfer from some other fund. Gammons May Stay on Job Political supporters of Gammons, however, definitely indicated that no | matter what action was taken to pay ‘his salary he would continue on the! j least officially, They point it that there fs no law providing; for the consolidation of that office, with any other and that no other, state official or employe could be forced to assume the duties of the office. It was definitely indicated that the majority of the industrial commission will not consent to a transfer of the duties to another state employe, The result may be to maké Gammons a man with a job but without a salary. It was considered possible that the case may be taken to the supreme court as was that of the tax commis- sioners in times past. Another factor is the control by the industrial commission of the Bank of North Dakota. It is consid- ered possible that Gammons may be given a job there, the duties of which would permit him to continue, more or less as a side-line, his work as/ secretary of the industrial commis- sion. = Refuse to Comment Gammons refused to comment on; the subject of his future pay un status as did Attorney General, George F. Shafer, one of his politicai upporters on the industrial commis-) It is known, however, that members | of the commission opposed to the gov- | ernor feel that his veto of the secre-| tary appropriation indicates an ef-| ‘ort on his part to dominate the com-| mission, which they are prepared to resist to the utmost. In some quar-; ters it was considered possible that) ‘the governor’s action and resulting situation may become an issue in the next North Dakota political campaign. | Weather Report ‘| Weather conditions at North Da- kota points for the 24 hours ending} ‘at 8 a. m. today.

BRROR IN BILL MAY BRING OX COURT ACTION Alleged Failure to Pass Emergency Clause May De- lay Highway Body Change 8: Reorganization of the state high- way commission under the law passed by the recent legislature may be held up until July 1, it developed to- day, despite the fact that the bill as signed by the governor carries an emergency clause and directs him to reorganize the department within 10 days after the law becomes effective. The question arose today as to whether the emergency clause was actually passed by the legislature and whether it belongs in the bill as presented to the executive and signed by him. The bill signed by Governor A. G. Sorlie bears a certificatio by Speaker John W. Carr and C. R.} Verry, clerk of the house, that the, mes passed by a vote of 97 to 2/ with 13 mem bsent. A further certifies that two- thirds of the members of the house of representatives present and vot- ing, voted in favor of said law.” It “Th Emergency Clause Lost Records of the house show, how- ever, that the emergency clause was lost when it first came up for vote in that body. Therefore, it is held, it was not on the bill when it went to the senate or when it was re- paused ~by the house after having been amended in the upper braneh. The records show no affirmative ac- tion to restore the emergency clause to the bill after it had lost the first time, he senate vote, the record shows, was 41 to 8 It appears, however, the emergency clause was contained in the engrossed bill as it went from the house to the senate and was/ never actually taken off, although it is alleged that it was legally non- existent after the first house action. Despite the question as to when the bill should become effective it was indicated at the governor's of- fice this morning that Sorlie will proceed to reorganize the highway commission within the next 10 days s the bill which he signed directed him to do. May Resort to Court Action Meanwhile Joseph A. Kitchen, com- missioner of agriculture and labor, has obtained an unofficial opinion from Attorney General George Sha- fer to the effect that the emergency clause was not legally passed and that the bill will not be effective until July 1. Kitchen is now an ex-offic ber of the highway comm Under the new act, however, that commission placed in the hands of the governor and two commissioners tu be appointed by him. Kitchen tod said that he is studying the proposition to deter- his future course.

Nearby stood a large, ex pensive limou , said to belong to Joe Saltiz. The body of the car had been riddled with leaden slugs, and apparently both shot guns and tols had been used in pouring into it a fusillade. From both left and right sides the body of the car had been pierced by bullets. Police believe that the two men, probably wounded, had managed to stumble out of the car after the at- tack, and were shot down while tr, ir pursuers on f Koncil, known as one of the tough est men in gangdom, had managed to run nearly half a block further than Prubeck before he fell dead.

Suddenly, the young women said, he raised a pistol ahd fired one The bullet entered Schneider’s head. The killer ran a few hundred feet, darted down an alleyway, and vanished. Immediately after the olice sent out messages asking the apprehension of “Maxie” en, who claims to be president of a butchers’ associati and is said to have been a dealer in sacramental wine. Eisen was shot in the arm last December. Schneider, at that time, reported to police that Eisen suspected him of having been the shooter, and said he had been getting threats of ven- Beance. “If anything happens to me, look for Maxie,” Schneider told police at the time. Schneider also left a list of other men “to get when I'm killed,” when he talked to police.

Hours later men lay wounded, two of them jously, and only one of the six as at large. Charles Duchowski, Charles Scha- der, Walter Staleski, and the three Mexicans, Gregorio Rizo, Robert Tor- rez and Bernardo Roa, were sen- tenced to be hanged for the murder of Peter Kle deputy Ries at the new Stateville penitentiary last May, when seven prisoners stabbed and beat Klein to death and escaped. All but one were recaptured. The six had received two stays of sentence by court order, and a third early in the week by an appeal al- lowed by a state supreme court jus- tice. Guards Overpowered Early today the three Mexicans, who had sawed the bars of their cell, escaped into the bull pen and, armed with revolvers, overpowered and bound two gua: Tossing arms and saws to the other three in another cell, the Mexicans next bound the night jailer and, at the door of the jail, held up two deputy sheriffs, kidnaped one of them and escaped in e sh f’s automobile. Believing the convicts were at large inside the jail, the police threw tear bombs into the bull pen nd opened fire on a trusty, wound- ing him. After nearly an hour the police ad-, vanced and found Staleski, Duchow. ski and Schader still in their cell fi wi jand ready to give up. Four Are Wounded In the meantime the Mexicans had sped to south Chicago, where a po- lice automobile squad intercepted them and in a pistol battle Gregorio Rizo, one of the convicts, two police- men, William Frost und George Grant, and the chauffeur, John Mar- ciniak, were shot down. Roa es- caped, us did Rizo for the time being. A short time later, the wounded Mexican was captured while trying to break into a garage. The break of the Mexicans and the plan to free the others, came less than 24 hours after all six would have been hanged. The execution was set for Friday but a petition for a writ of error allowing an appeal was eranted earlier in the week by Justice Frederick R. DeYoung of the Save supreme court, automatically staying execution. AUTO BREAKS DOWN OUTSKIRTS OF CHI Chicago, 5 three Mexican convicts, who escaped from the county jail at Joliet in a spectacular prison break, were cap- tured here today after they had wounded two policemen and a cab driver. One of the Mexicans, Gregorio Rizo, was probably fatally wounded in an exchange of shots with police. The other man taken was Roberto Torrez, while police stil were seeking a third member of the trio, Bernado Roa. While three companions of the ton- victs were holding off guards and police in their cell at Joliet, to be subdued eventually by tear bombs, the three Mexicans made their wey to Chicago in a stolen machine, which broke down on the city outskirts, where the fleeing men commandeered a taxi.
