Washington, June 12—(4)—The two border patrolmen, at Detroit and In- ternational Falls, Minn., will be held personally responsible for use of fire- arms if the treasury investigation should disclose weapons were used ex- cept in self defense or to prevent commission of a felony. Assistant Secretary Lowman in making this announcement today called attention to an order issued a year ago prescribing strict regulations for the use of firearms and warning officers of the consequences of viola- tions of the regulations. Under this order approximately a score of agents who shot persons in pursuit of their duties faced coroner's Juries last year. Lowman, who is in charge of prohibition: enforcement, declared, however, that all these had ‘been cleared. The hs that the two border patrolmen could demand transfer of their cases to federal vourts but that this would in no way change any charges of use of fire- a which might be placed against em. Disapproves Disarming Agents Lowman also said vigorous demands were being made on the treasury by members of congress to disarm agents. These, he declared, could not be ap- proved. To disarm agents, Lowman con- tinued, would do away with their ef- fectiveness. Lowman already has put in motion an investigation of the Detroit and International Falls shootings. These were started yesterday about the time the shootings were being discussed at the capitol, with a number of con- gressmen demanding action of some kind. International Falls, Minn., June 12. —(#)—Plans for the prosecution of E. J. White, border patrolman who kill- ed Henry Virkkula, were announced Yoday by David Hurlburt, Koochiching county attorney, who said he will resist efforts of federal authorities to ‘ake the case out of his hands.

D. Powell as Retailer's Necessity Clean, neat stores which offer good merchandise at fair prices and which adequately meet the needs of their community need not fear the compe- tition of chain stores, cataloguc houses or stores in larger towns, T. B. Garnaas of Sheyenne, president of the North Dakota Retail Merchants association, told the annual conven- tion of that organization here today. Garnaas’ prescription for successful retail selling in North Dakota in- cludes an interest in the welfare of the town and district in which the business is located. Unless some towns wake up to this fact and to the need for advanced methods of serv- ing their customers they are doomed to failure, Garnaas said. Other items in the prescription were: Clean up the town; paint at least the front of the store building; remodel old-fashioned stores; carry well-assorted, clean, up-to-the-min- ute merchandise; give good scrvice and have well-trained sales people who can tell at least one good point about every item of merchandise in thg store. u Can Lick Hatd Times Unless this is done, Garnaas said, some towns will disappear but if all Paul Mieavinis, below, a former cur- ate, shot and critically wounded Helen Halitaies, above, the girl for whom he forsook his priesthood vows, and then killed himself at Harrison, N.

This is the day of the modern Needs to Advertise Reporting on his activities for the year, W. D. Powell of Fargo, associa- tion secretary, said that publicity is one of the crying needs of the local retailer. It is necessary. he said, to information as to the goods the local retailer has to sell and the sefvice he offers. More and better individual adver- tising is needed along with educa- tional work which will reflect its value to all businesses in the town, Powell said. Branding as of a “begging nature” advertisements which plead with the |community to “help support the town,” Powell asked what the town gives in return. It owes to the com- munity, he said, “a snappy and cor- dial service, with an assurance of such service and that goods offered at an actual saving out as an example that it sometimes is difficult to sell high class sheeting, which will give four times the service (Continued on page nine) LANOURE BOY FREED OF CARDEATH BANE La Moure, N.

The group meetings closed at noon, today, and this afternoon the main convention of the association opened formally. Two main speakers dealt with the egg situation—R. O. Baird, state chemist and food commissioner, and C. M. Emerson, secretary of the Ni tional Cream and Produce Buyers as- sociation, of Chicago. Commissioner Baird dealt with eggs as part of a talk on general food conditions, while Secretary Emerson spoke of what he had learned in an 8000-mile tour of the state in the preliminary work of organizing the state branch of the cream and produce buyers here Tues- day. The drawbacks of the egg situation from the viewpoint of Secretary Emerson is in their merchandising. Some dealers are giving premium prices when the eggs are traded out. This makes it difficult for the cream- ery buyers of eggs to meet conditions, for he is not buying on a trading basis and must get all his profits out of the resale of the eggs, while the merchant obtains a profit also on the goods which the farmer takes out in trade. Mr. Emerson advocated that the merchants and dealers get toget er and try to remedy this condition, which has been creating confusion and havoc in the egg business to the detriment of the farmer as well as the dealers. Want to Boost N. D. Hen The matter of candling and grad- ing was before the meeting in talks from the floor following the talk of Commissioner Baird. Owing to the small quantities handled in compari- son to the big commission houses in the cities, where candling and grad- ing are the rule, such processes on the part of the small country store- keeper were rather regarded as im- (Continued on page nine) MACDONALD TO TALK OVER PROPOSED U. §.

The first death due to the wind and rain storms which swept a large area yesterday was that of Paul Krus, farmer, killed by a train near Cran- don, Wis. His brother, Joseph, was injured as the two apparently were blinded by heavy rain. A southern Minnesota arta 120 miles long and 40 miles in width bore the brunt of the storms, which caused considerable damage in eastern South Dakota and in parts of Wisconsin. Estimate Million Loss A survey of newspapermen of Man- kato indicated the area of greatest storm intensity extended from near Tracy to east of Waseca. They esti- mated the loss in this area would reach $1,000,000. Virtually every farm in a consider- able area out of Mankato was touched by the storm, with barns or other buildings down and trees uprooted. Throughout the storm areca tele- phone, telegraph, and power compan- jes suffered heavy damage, with poles and wires down and service disrupted. Golf Club Destroyed Officials of the Mankato golf club, whose clubhouse. was wrecked, today Placed the loss at $10,000, while ex- ecutives of the Mankato Fair associa- tion, whose grounds were swept, said their loss would reach $20,000. A live- stock pavilion on the fairgrounds also was wrecked. Fifteen persons in the Chicago Rod and Gun clubhouse near Minocqua, Wis., escaped injury when the struc- ture was destroyed with loss of $25,- 000. They were in a corner of the building which withstood the strength of the wind. A number of cottages in that summer resort district were demolished.

Funeral arrangements were not completed at noon today, but it was planned to have the services at the Zeeland church at 10 o'clock Thurs- day morning. Father John Greiner, of the Zeeland parish, was in Fargo, today, and it was not definite that he could get back. If he is unable to do 80, the services will be taken over by Father Niebler, of the Hague parish.

GASIN WELLRATAL TO FARMER, WHILE BROTHER IS SAVED! Tragedy Due to Inability of Rescuers to Get One Victim Out, Three Hours (Tribune Special Service) Zeeland, N. D., June 12.—Noxious gas in a well caused the death of An- ton Seist, 28, and imperiled the life of his brother John, this morning, five miles east of Zeeland and a short distance beyond the line in South Dakota. Anton Seist died while rescyers weré trying for three hours to get him out of the well, which was being dug on the premises of his brother John. The brothers, who are farmers, had gone down in the well to continue digging. Out of a pocket in the soil, deadly gas seeped into the well dur- ing the night and after the Seists had been down a short time, they were overcome. Parts of North Dakota and Mon- tana had heavy rainfall also, with Dickinson, N. D., having an inch, Bis- marck more than a half inch, and Glendive in Montana, in the region of the cloudburst and floods late last week, 1.90 inch. $100,000 Loss at Madelia Damage to property in the vicinity of Madelia was estimated at more than $100,000 by insurance agents and Power line men.

Brookhart of Iowa, who stumped the west for Herbert Hoover, unless the export debenture proposition was ap- proved by the administration as either a part of the pending farm re- lief or tariff bills. The suggestion that the debenture plan ultimately might be attached to the tariff measure has been advanced by a number of other senators and is known to have considerable sympathy among house leaders. The Iowan declared that he now desired to say to “progressive mem- bers of the senate on both sides” that if the proposition was rejected the time “has come to organize for a fight to the finish.” . “If the debenture,” he added, “ir the form I have here suggested, o1 in its present form, cannot be put into the farm bill, I think the bil: should be permitted to pass with- out it.” Rips Into Administration Brookhart ripped into the admini- stration forces as soon as the senate rhe ch Perks the time had ar- for a it to the finish ee Plan. ‘ = “In order io make sure that this be possible.” he said, “we should at once organize to put up a progressive candidate in every congressional dis- trict and for senator in every state whovwill fight for this program.

Slight damage to garden flowers and truck were reported from these areas.
