TUESDAY, MAY 29, 1928 PENITENTIARY INMATES HAVE TIME FOR PLAY Playing Ball Games on Satur- day Gives Prisoners More Recreation More recreation or the prisoners at the state penitentiary here has resulted from the new rule requir- ing baseball games to be played on Saturday, W:rden John J. Lee, said today. Warden Lee’s statement came in response to comments which have reached his ears that the abolition of Sunday baseball has worked a hard- ship on the prisoners. Instead of less time for recrea- tion, as claimed by some uninformed persons, the warden said, the prison- ers have more than ever before. They are given two evenings a week for recreational purposes in addition to Saturday afternoon and Sunday morning. Under the old system they received two evenings a week and Sunday afternoon. The comment which resulted from the change, Lee said, resulted from the fact that some of the prisoners were dissatisfied with the abolition of the Sunday afternoon baseball game. Two of them, Lee said, smuggled out of the penitentiary an open letter addressed to the news- papers of this and neighboring states, in which it was made to appear that a riot had occurred over the subject of Sunday baseball. One of the authors of the letter, Lee said, was William Gummer, sen- tenced to the prison from Fargo fol- lowing his conviction on a murder charge several years ago. The oth- er prisoner who turned his talents to letter writing was a murderer from Towner county. Each has lost the job as clerk which he had held at the prison. Because of the fact that half of the men now in the prison were not there last year, Lee said, it was only the “old-timers” who pro- tested the change when it was an- nounced at the start of the base- ball season this year. Some of the prisoners who previously had played ‘on the baseball team refused to play unless the games could be staged Sunday. These found, however, that they were harming only them- selves since others were found to take their places and they were kept to their cells during the games. Most of them have applied for per- mission to play, Lee said, and some of them have been permitted to do 80. No trouble has yet been ex- perienced in scheduling contests for Saturday afternoons although the prisoners had contended this would the case, Lee said. HAGGART GETS CONTRACT FOR 9 SEWER JOBS Bids Asked on One More Block of Paving—Drinking Fountains Wanted Contracts for sewer construction on Sixteenth street and South Ninth street were awarded to the Haggart Construction company of Fargo at last night’s meeting of the city commission. The Haggart company is preparing to lay about 60 blocks of pavement here this summer and was the low bidder on the sewer jobs. : On the Sixteenth street job the Haggart company bid $2.60 per foot for 15-inch sewer pipe, $1.30 per foot for eight-inch sewer pipe and $80 for manholes. On the South side job its bid was $2.10 per foot] p, for eight-inch pipe, $80 for man- holes and $15 for lampholes. F. G, Grambs of Bismarck, the only other bidder, submitted prices on the Sixteenth street job of $2.90 for 15-inch pipe, $1.35 for eight- inch pipe, and $75 for manholes. On the South side job Grambs’ bid was $2.40 for eight-inch pipe, $85 for manholes and $15 for lamp- holes. Bids Asked on More Paving The commission instructed the auditor to advertise for bids on pav- ing Eleven street from Avenue B to Avenue C, and bids will be op- ened July 2. The city engineer last night presented plans and _ specifi- cations for th’; additional block of ving, estimating the cost at 267.31, Bids will be asked on several types of pavement. Private driveways which are de- sired along the streets to be paved this summer are to be constructed of concrete, 1-2-3 mixture, six inches thick, the commission decided last night. At the request of the Associa- tion of Commerce, the commission instructed the city auditor to ascer- tain the cost of having public drink- ing fountains formerly in operation at the corners of Broadway and Fourth, Main and Fourth and Main and Fifth ut into serviceable con- dition. The fountains have not been in operation for several years but the officers of tha Association of Commerce contend it would be a fine thing to reestablish the foun- tains. Want Grade Lowered Carl Nelson, William Barneck and E. W. Herbert appeared before the city commission, asking that the proposed grade line on Ninth sweet petween Avenues B and C ‘ba chanred so that when the pave- ment and curb is put in the side- walks will not be lower than the curb line. They contended that un- der the system that is now being followed, their prope: and side- walks would be several inches below the curb line, making the cement walks more of @ “paved ditch” in wet weather than a dry walk. The matter was taken under considera- A letter from H. J. Duemeland, chairman of the traffic committee of the Association of read in was ask21 that the ordirance prohibit- ing, all-night parking in the business ict be strictly enforeed as a ously requested ‘by the business men. “On May 28, at 6:50 a. m.,” the letter stated, “‘a line of cars started in front of the Capitol theatre and extended around the corner the full length of the block on Fifth street and half way back on Broadway. Opposite the Grand Pacific hotel on almost the entive west side of Fourth street there was a full line of cars and the entire block in front of the Grand Pacific was full. At the Annex hotel out-of-town cars were parked on both sides of Fifth street and on Broadway.” Demands Curb Pump Removal O. W. Roberts presented in writ- ing a formal demand for the immed- iate abatement of “the nuisance caused by a gasoline filling station conducted from the curb at the northwest intersection of Main avenue and Sccond street (the Cor- win-Churchill garage).” “This filling station,” the letter said, “is being conducted in viola- tion of the statutes of the state of North Dakota in that the pubiic street and sidewalk are being us for private purpose and gain, as out- lined in a recent opinion of your city attorney.” The communications were placed on file but no action wa, taken. Geo. Register Files for Reelection to City School Board George M. Register, member of the school board for the last six years, filed this afternoon for re- election. Mr. Register’s filing puts three candidates in the field for the two vacancies which occur on the board this year, the other filings being those of William T. Kraft and Dr. W. E.

Clark, confessed slayer of Don Solovich, former butler in the house of Lita Gray Chaplin, di- vorced wife of the motion picture comedian. A subpoena was issued for Chap- lin ey along with summons for Lloyd Wright,his attorney, Kono, his Japanese servant, and Edward T. McMurray, attorney and uncle of Mrs. Chaplin. _A subpoena was is- sued for Mrs. Chaplin several days Tues- ago. Informed that the subpoenas had been sent to California sheriffs, Mc- Murray, at his home in San Fran- cisco, said ke had no intention of at- tending the trial. When Mrs. Chap- lin was sammoned, both McMurray and Wright said they did noi be- lieve either the comedian or his for- mer wife would attend the trial. They said the Chaplins could not be compelled to leave the state. Clark is charged with beating Solovich to death near here January last. - The state contends robbery was the motive. ‘Clark told authori- ties he killed Solcvich because of the objectionable conduct of the for- mer Chaplin servant while the two were en route to Salt Lake City by automobile.

REPORT FLAYS OL MAGNATES AND TREASURY Senator Walsh Characterizes Stewart and Others as ‘Conspirators’ Washington, May 29.—()—A re- port bitterly attacking the four oil magnates who participated in the profits of the of the long investi- {gated Continental Trading company oil deal of seven years ago and crit- icizing the treasury for waiting al- most three years before demanding taxes due from the transaction awaited presentation today to the Senate. The report, prepared by Senator Walsh, Democrat, Montana, veteran prosecutor of the Teapot Dome com- mittee, and unanimously approved by his fellow committeemen, char- acterized Robert W. Stewart, Harry F. Sinclair, H. M. Blackmer, and James E. O'Neil as “conspirators” and denounced the entire deal as a “contemptible private steal.” Senator Nye, Republican, North Dakota, planned to offer a supple- mental report on the committee’s findings, but Senat- Walsh said neither was to be regarded as the last word on the oil investigation since many points remained to be cleaned up. The Montana _ Senator reviewed pany’s organization to buy and sell oil in this country and declared there was a general belief that its $3,080,- 000 profits were “to be devoted and perhaps have been devoted to cor- rupt uses of one form or another,” since $233,000 in liberty bonds pur- chased with the profits had been traced from Sinclair to Albert B. Fall, former interior secretary, about the time of the lease of Tea- pot Dome. CASE WORST ON RECORD, SENATOR NYE REPORTS Washington, May 29.—(AP)— Bristling with pungent cerms of de- nunciation of the naval oil leases and the Continental Trading com- | pany deal, a report supplemental to that approved yesterday by the Teapot Dome committee was filed today by Senator Nye, Republican, North Dakota, chairman of this sen- ate investigating group. - It went into the record along with the report of Senator Walsh, Demo- crat, Montana, who prosecuted the oil investigations and whose find- ings chavacterized Robert W. Stew- art, Harry F. Sinclair, H. M. Black- mer and James E. O'Neil as “con- spirators” and denounced the entire deal as a “contemptible private steal.” “Never has the world known a case involving a degree of fraud, quite evident bribery, thievery, con- spiracy and corruption to compare with what has come to be known as the Teapot Dome—Elk Hills—Con- tinental Trading Case,” the Nye re- port said. “The leases involved in the case are estimated to have been worth not less than $500,000,000, and were consummated, to use the language of the supreme court of the United States, ‘by conspiracy, corruption and fraud.’ “The investigation has uncovered the slimiest of slimy trails beaten by privilege. The investigation has shown, let us hope, privilege at its worst. The trial is one of dishon- esty, greed, violation of law, sec- recy, concealment, evasion, falsehood and cunning.” Dairy-Poultry Train at Jamestown Today Jamestown, May 29.—(AP)—The combination of the touring dairy- poultry special train and a circus brought a large part of the sur- rounding countryside here today.

GOVERNMENTAL COSTS HIGHER 70th Congress Appropriates Staggering Total of $4,642,293,897.57 Washington, May 29.—4)—The cost of federal government has got- ten back to a better than a four and a half billion doilars basis, the seventieth congress having appro- priated the staggering total of $4,642,293,897.57 to carry on affairs in the next fiscal year. This,-ex- ceeded the appropriations for ‘this year by $627,304,961.17.
