FLOOD ALARMS|[“cheer rebets —_|/FILM ACTRESY RIGHT EASED AS ICE GIVES WAY ALONG STREAMS Break Here Particularly Reas- suring; No Damage Expect- ed; Flyers on Watch Alarm over the possibility of flood damage along the line of the North- ern Pacific railroad has been allayed among operating officials of the line, according to word from headquarters at St. Paul. To give the Yellowstone and Mis- » Souri personal inspection, in view of ” the fear of flood trouble, T. F. Lowry, general superintendent at Livingston, has been over the lines from there to Mandan. He is now at the latter Place, in his special car, and has ob- served the river open up and the threat of trouble apparently dissipate here, as it has in Montana also. This feeling of relief is due to the ice going out at various points that always threaten danger from gorges. Moré than usual apprehension was felt this spring because of the heavy snowfall in the mountains—especially in the Montana mountains—and of the extreme cold weather, which froze ice to more than normal depth, as here. The Montana situation resulted in one brief interruption of traffic near y Forsyth, when the Yellowstone over- flowed its banks and spread out three miles to near the Milwaukee tracks to the north. The danger stretch, however, extended from Livingston to Glendive. A gorge formed beyond the latter division point, but it since has gone out. Bismarck became another point to excite solicitude, because of the heavy ice covering the Missouri, but the road was reassured Sunday by reports from here of the breakup of this ice and the partly open condition of the river. Although it has not yet begun to move out, the judgment of N. P. Officials is that it will pass out dur- ing the next few weeks without any particular harm. Further assurance is felt because air pilots will keep tab on the stream and will dynamite any jams that form, the Northern Pacific announces. This is expected to relieve any inter- ruption of the river's flow and avert trouble. " MELANEY WILL SING OVER KFYR TUESDAY Howard Melapey, tenor, will sing over radio station KFYR from 6:15 to 6:45 p. m. Tuesday, it is announced today. Mr. Melaney, known as the “Sing- ing Fireman of the Northern Pacific Railway,” has refrained from singing songs other than those of high class, and his popularity as a radio artist probably is unduplicated in this coun- try. He sings many of the old favor- ites, offers numbers from operas, and includes new songs that meet the high standard of his programs. There is no jazz im Melaney’s programs. His voice has contributed much to make high class music popular It has been said that Mr. Melaney at many of the leading radio stations draws the largest amount of “fan” mail and telephone requests, Federal Land Office Asked to-Send in All Oil and Gas Permits The federal land office here has been called on to forward to the bu- {,' reau at Washington, at once, all oil and gas applications to drill on or lease government land in this dis- trict, including applications rejected, » as directed by a prior telegram of in- structions, March 13.

THE RISMARCK TRIBUNE TO TEMPERAMENT IS | GIVEN COURTS OKAY Jetta Goudal Awarded $30,000; ‘Artist’ Not Subject to Menial's Obedience Los Angeles, March 18.—(7)—A su- perior court ruling upholding the jTight of Jetta Goudal, motion picture actress, to indulge in temperamental outbursts at the expense of the film producing company which employed her, was handed down here last night by Judge Leon Yankwich. Miss Goudal sued Pathe Studios, Inc., for $90,000 claiming that amount due her for services. The decision, which held that as an “artist” Miss Goudal was not subject to the same rules of obedience as a menial, awarded her $30,000. The suit resulted from the discharge of Miss Goudal, then under contract to the Cecil B. DeMille productions which later was absorbed by Pathe, in September, 1927, because “‘tempera- mental outbursts constituted a breach of contract by herself.” Motion picture circles today pre- dicted that the decision would place an entirely new light on the rela- tionship of players with their employ- ing producers. It was sald that it might result in the upset of the whole contract system and the development of an entirely new type of working agreement between movie employer and “artistic” employe. The court held that Miss Goudal's value was not “in her ability to obey slavishly—for the humblest extra can do that—but in her ability to inject the force of her personality, exper- oe and intelligence into the act- ing.” The decision held that artists are not servants and therefore not subject to the conditions generally existing between master and servant. Miss Goudal was being paid a salary of $1,750 a week at the time the con- tract was broken. Under an option of the contract she was to be paid $2,750 @ week during the year of 1928. Judge Yankwich refused to award Miss Goudal the full amount sued for because she waited until January, 1928, to file her complaint. He ex- plained that it should have become evident to her in 1927, after she was discharged, that the defendant did not intend to call on her for further services and that she was “not dili- gent” in delaying.

He had started his novel adventure at 3 p. m. last Wednesday. Handcuffed to the wheel by Police Chief Chris J. Martineson, he drove continuously except for short stops for fuel and food. A representative of the local police department un- locked the handcuffs and took the reading from the speedometer when he completed his drive. G. L. Spear, Burleigh county trea- surer, supervised reading the guess cards. One guess, 1,336.55 miles, was disqualified when it was learned that the person who turned in this figure had made three guesses. The highest guess made was 95,673 and the lowest 411. today.
