It left to the council the question of the ‘extent to which the statistics bureau should duplicate the work to be’ perfornied by the state ‘superin- tendent of criminal identification, who will take office July 1 under a law passed by the last general as- sembly. The committee recommended that the proposed bureau have an office here and that the reporter of the su- preme court be its secretary and have charge of the work. . Compile Pertinent Data Under the general classification of criminal matters the burenu would attempt to compile pertinent data on felonies, misdemeanors, extraditions and criminal appeals. The plan is to show the number of such actions and their result. Under the heading of quasi-crim- inal matters would be listed violations of municipal ordinances, proceedings under the illegitimacy act, juvenile cases, removals from office by the governor or by political boards and bodies, and paroles. The bureau also would keep a record of the number of paroles granted and the number vio- lated and the number of bail bonds forfeited, collected or reinstated. That section of the bureau devoted to civil matters. would keep # record of the number of cases filed in dis- trict court, the number tried to the court or to ® jury, the numbér in which jury trial is waived and the number of cases in which ore party defaults. The same information would be gathered with regard to county courts, 2 ‘The number of cases affirmed, re- versed or modified on apeals to the supreme court would be listed. Gather Divorce Statistics Miscellaneous information to be gathered by the bureau would cover arbitrations, adoptions, conciliations and divorces. Divorce statistics would show the number of absolute divorces, the number of separations and the custody of children. Data on the probate courts would show the number of estates probated, guardianships, proceedings to estab- lsh heirship and appeals from county to district courts in probate matters. Clerks of courts, state's attorneys, magistrates, mayors, judges of the district courts and other public offi- cials would be asked to cooperate with the bureau under the plan proposed. Violations of school laws would be checked through county school super- intendents and the state department of public instruction. AMERICANS HELD AS.

BEN EIELSON FACES SBASICKNESS AFTER FLIGHT: 10 CHICAGO North Dakota's Arctic Flyer Buffeted in Rough Waters Aboard Amphibian Chicago, April 16.—(4)—Colonel Ben Eielson, noted arctic flyer, believes that the most important element in the guidance of an amphibian plane is the pilot's choice of landing places. His experience of last night substan- tiated the opinion. With six other passengers he had ridden from Detroit to Chicago, 250 miles, in one hour and 50 minutes in the Chicago Tribune's plane, “Untin.” The skipper, Bob Gaston, delighted with the speed he had shown decided to have additional minutes by dis- charging his passengers at the Oak Street Beach instead of crossing the city to the Municipal air port. The plane was rocked and buffeted for more than an hour in the turbu- lent waters of the Oak street hatbor before a coast guard crew was able to haul it ashore. Meanwhile the pas- sengers had been rescued from the threatened terrors of seasickness by members of a boat crew.

Washington, April 16.—(— Representative Tilson of Connec- ticut, the Republican leader, an- nounced in the house today that consideration of the new farm bill would not be started until Thurs- day. It had been the hope of leaders to get started on the measure tomorrow. At the senate side of the capl- tol Chairman MeNary of the ag- ricultural committee indicated: that on Thursday he would pre- sent the farm bill drafted by that |, group to the senate. Washington, April 16.—(7)—Presi- dent Hoover, in a message of unusual brevity and directness, recommehded to congress today the creation of s federal farm board with authority and resources to remedy recurring causes of depression in the agricul= tural industry and a limited revision “ of the nthe with a reorganization of the tarif# commission. In addition he proposed in this, his first state paper, the completion of legislation initiated at the last session for the suspension of the national origins clause of the immigration act; the taking of the 1930 census and the reapportionment of congressional representation. While proposing broad powers for thé federal farm board, the chief ex- ecutive suggested no amount for the revolving fund to.be furnished by the treasury and proposed safeguards for the instrumentalities amd... activities e be created under the farm relief Opposes Farmer's Fee “There should be no fee or tax im- Posed upon the farmer,” he declared; adding that government funds should be furnished only upon application of the farmer owned and controlled agencies and then only when other: services of credit and facilities are not available at reasonable rates. In the matter of revision of tariff rates Mr. Hoover declared the test in the main was whether there had been @ substantial slackening of activity. in an industry during the past few years and,a consequent decrease of employment due to insurmountable competition in the products of that industry. The president emphasized that no discrimination against any foreign industry was involved in equalising. the difference in costs of production — at home and abroad and told congress that in determining changes in. the tariff account must be taken of the broad interests of the country as whole, adding that such interests. in- clude American trade relations: with other countries. Asks For Able Men - In proposing a reorganization of the tariff commission, Mr. Hoover said it should be placed upon a basis of higher salaries “in order that we may at all times command men of the broadest attainments.” Declaring the government had “ special mandate from the recent elec- tion not only to develop our water- ways and revise the agricultural tariff, but also to extend. systematic relief in other directions,” the chief executive said the multiplicity of causes of . agricultural could only be met by the creation of & great instrumentality clothed with (Continued on page ) tint SOUTHERN CROSS 70.
