Lorraine Markowski, 3, was the lat- est victim. Her half brother, Chester Kwiatkowski, 9 died soon after he was taken to the hospital, and Agnes Kwiatkowski, 8, his sister, died yes- terday. ‘The other children, Richard and Doris Markowski, 6 years and 17 months old, respectively, were still in @ critical condition. Meanwhile the children’s mother, Mrs. Verna Mar- kowski and her husband, Edwin, showed symptoms of the same ail- ment. They were placed under med- ical care in the Psychopathic hospital, where they had been taken for ob- servation after being questioned by the police. Physicians said the children appar- ently had eaten some deadly poison, but its character was not determined. Some said they believed the family was suffering from a mysterious dis- ease. Markowski, a paint sprayer, told po- lice that last week he took home a poizonous solution for removing paint from his hands. Preliminary examin- ation of the first two victims’ organs showed that this was the poison that caused their deaths, said. Both Mr. and Mrs. Markowski de- nied they were responsible for the Poisoning, but each accused the oth RAILROAD EXCEEDS BILLION IN VALUE Pennsylvania System Has Huge Holdings, Findings of 1. C. C.

Dawes and Prime Minister Rainsay MacDonald. The speeches left in doubt the next move to bring about the conference. In one sense they were couched in general terms but in another they left no question as to the imminence of negotiations for naval disarmament, in which every nation concerned might share. General Dawes attacked the prac- tice of leaving naval ‘disarmament problems up to naval experts, whose prior interest he charged was naval maintenance rather than naval pro- duction. The prime minister's address was made before the Lossiemouth town council, in the same Scottish town in which he was born and which saw his rise from poverty to party leadership and twice to head the British nation. ‘Will Include All “As to the world wide purpose of what are known as the Anglo-Amer- ican conversations,” he said, “I hope that neither the large states hor the ‘small ones will have any doubt that they are not exclusive, they are in- clusive. “The mighty republic across the Atlantic will enter into no European entanglements and alliances. But no one ought to suspect that it will de- cline to serve the common interests of peace and democracy. There are ob- stacles to be surmounted, differing interests to be reconciled, some his- torical inheritance to be soothed and rivalries which are legitimate to be confined to their proper channels. “That is the glorious task which the py conversations which the American ambassador and I had opened up, and I would pray the whole nation, irrespective of party, to share helpfully in our labors, t& give us its confidence and to enable us to carry the work to a successful con- clusion.” Wants Naval Yardstick ‘The ambassador's speech was made before the Pil society, 400 of Britain’s social and political elite as- sembling.

He is rightly taught that he must strive not for equal navies but for a superior navy.” Dickinson Grain Elevator | Ablaze Fire believed caused by defec- tiye electrical wiring this after- neon was threatening to raze the Farmers Cooperative Elevator at Dickinson, according to a tele- phone call to the Bismarck Trib- blase began at 2 p. m.

Runyan Urges Each Man to Be a Missionary of Safety in His Own Community PRAISES LOCAL COMPANIES Ashley Band Furnishes Enter. tainment at Morning Ses- sions; Election Today Goverhor George F. Shafer told the state firemen’s convention, this fore- noon, that a fireman is a foresighted fellow who spends all his life in this world preparing against taking chances in the next. The firemen caught the levity of the remark and the governor went on'to speak of the high appreciation to which their serv- ices are entitled. ‘The governor's speech was left over from Tuesday, when he was unable to appear during the afternoon. After the close of his speech, the association made the governor an honorary member. Reach'1g Peak Today The convention was reaching its peak today. It was the day set aside to the parade, the street dancing and the cold lunch t the Elks hall. Ten- dency to have a good time along with the serious business was manifest. Mrs. W. T. Caswell, wife of the Valley City chief, evoked this feeling while the convention waited for the gov- ernor to arrive this forenoon. She took charge of the meeting as song leader and led the firemen in some novelty songs, then gave them a pro- gram of piano selections. ‘The desire to get the volunteer fire- men the protection 0: the workmen's compensation came up at this morn- ing’s session. Secretary Reade told of his efforts to accomplish that and his failure so f:r to make a dent on the board. Delegates George Crook, of Devils Lake; F. C. Robeson, W. T. Caswell, J. H.

So far few of the companies have collected benefits and it was Suggested that the money spent on these accident policies might, if of- fered the compensation bureau, be an inducement to take the firemen of the state under the bureau protec- tion. It was added that legislation might be required and that all these matters should be taken up, so that some action could be obtained either through the compensation bureau or the legislature.

MINER CRUSHED 0 DEATH AT WILTON Anton Brezden Instantly Killed as Mass of Roof Coal Pins Him Beneath It Anton Brezden, about 40. was in- stantly killed today in the Washburn Lignite Coal company’s mine at Wil- ton. He was crushed beneath a mass of coal dislodged from the roof when Brezden removed a prop supporting it. The accident happened about 8 a. m., according to a meagre telephone report received by The Tribune from mine officials. Brezden was work- ing alone at the time. The crash at- tracted the attention of other miners in the immediate vicinity who hur- ried to the scene of the tragedy but Brezden was already dead. ‘The mass of coal which pinned Brezden beneath it weighed about 1,200 pounds.

The Virginia senator was the author of the $250,000 fund appro- priated last session by congress for | the purpose of an inquiry under the direction of the president into pro- | hibition. Fund Used by Hoover This is the fund now being used by the Hoover law enforcement com- mission and Glass declared that “both the president and the commission have gone as far afield as it is pos- | sible to go when they talk about reorganizing the judicial procedure.” Glass’ utterances were made shortly after Senator Copeland, Democrat, New York, had described recent fatal shootings by federal officers enforc- | ing the prohibition law as “outrage- lous killings” and urged the senate to Igive serious consideration to finding @ remedy. Commission Is Silent Meanwhile, the president's law en- forcement commission was in session in an office building in the business section of the city, but its deliber- |ations were behind closed doors and nothing was forthcoming as to what was coming on. The Virginian in his attack de- clared that in the presidential cam- paign Mr. Hoover and the two parties confined their remarks on law en- forcement to the prohibition question. “I am citing these facts here,” he said, “to show how completely this major problem has been ignored and submerged. I will not say its purpose is to shift the respensibility for the determination of a perplexing prob- lem, but at least that will be the in- evitable result.” ?

Special treasury agents said the conspiracy was the largest that has been uncovered, with ramifications into a score of cities across the con- tinent. The defendants are charged with conspiracy to violate the prohibition act and with violation of a federal law forbidding ‘he attachment of spurious revenue stamps to contain- ers of spiritous liquors. Their stock in trade included every- thing needed to pack and label ordi- nary bootleg whiskey in imitation of the product of foreign distilleries. This included shavings from the inside of whiskey barrels, used to flavor synthetic liquor, bottles blown in imitation of the containers o1 widely-known distilleries, labels, wrappers, corks, cases and bogus in- ternal revenue stamps. The establishments accused in the indictments include distilleries from which the barrels were obtained, glass works, printing shops and manufac- turers and dealers in other lines needed for the business. A Brooklyn firm, one of those in- dicted, was said by federal agents to have been the headquarters of the ring. Will Be Test Case Indictments returned against 140 individuals and firms in New York charging conspiracy to violate the na- tional prohibition law was said today by Prohibition Commissioner Doran to be the first large scale test case against manufacturers of parapher- nalia used to camouflage “sucker whiskey.” Prohibition officials were elated over the case and plan to carry on their prosecution against persons and firms furnishing containers, labels, coloring matter and other articles used in placing synthetic liquor on the bootleg market. . “The indictments are the result of the biggest effort the prohibition bu- reau has yet made to prevent the sale of the fake whiskey,” Doran said. “We will not spare any firm, no (Continued on page nine. i MINNESOTA BANK FORCED T0 CLOSE Shortage of $20,000 Is Found in Accounts of Cashier, State Examiner Finds St. Paul, June 19.—(4)—The Alberta State bank of Alberta, has been closed because of alleged irregularities of $20,000 found in the accounts of L.
