Doors When! Enough Have Begn Admit- “ted to Fil Seats ‘A comparatively small crowd at- tended ‘the trial of Jacob Oster, charged with the murder of John Peterson, in the Emmons county dis- trict court today. Yesterday the court room was packed to capacity and some were unable to squeeze in. But Judge Thomas H. Pugh wants no more of that and it was different today. Acting under the judge’s instruc- tions, ‘the bailiff ‘today admitted only enough persons to fill the seats. The doors then were closed and there was none of the sala around and a spectacle which marked the trial yesterday. William Langer, Bismarck, de- fense attorney, wanted to move the trial to the local theater in order to accemmodate’ the crowd, but Judge Pugh made prompt and sharp re- “3f more peovle want to come to this trial than the courtroom can ac- it is too bad,” Judge . “But it seems to me that the answer lies in building a bigger courthouse.” x Oster is on trial for first degree murder growing out of the shooting. last March 24 of John Peterson, a neighbor and a former friend, for whom Mrs. Oster had been workin; as popeenneer: The Osters ha been estranged. n Melodrama of the olsatyte kind was a sidelight of the trial Friday.

After the senate had voted Friday to restrict the activities of the group to a study of the prohibition laws, President Hoover asked the commis- sion to proceed with its general pro- gram and obtdined its consent. This the president announced tate yesterday saying he would “be able to secure from private sources the $100,- 000 necessary to carry this work for- ward to its completion. The action of the senate came on an amendment to the second defic- jency bill to appropriate $250,000 for the upkeep of the commission. This sum, which had been requested by the president, was reduced to $50,000 with the added proviso that it be used only for the prohibition inquiry. Informed of the senate’s vote, Mr. Hoover called several members of the foommiission into conference. They were Chairman Wickersham, Dean Roscoe’ Pound, Henry W. Anderson, Monte L. Lemann and Miss Ada Comstock. Then in @ statement, issued in re- ply to questions put at mission’s full rami be through to completion and that. this ‘wouki be done, is “As a matter of fact,” the president said, “the enforcement of any one machinery. by which all criminal laws are enforced, and the country is con- cerned over the cause of increasing crime in general. “Nothing indicates the situation better than the fact that in the last two years there was an increase in the number of men convicted four seri- ous offenses from 8,400 to over 13,000; whereas in the previous two years the increase was from 7,100 to 8,400. “Seventy per cent of these prisoners are for other crimes than those aris- ing out of prohibition. What the causes and remedies are in respect to these 70 per cent is of vital impor- tance, ‘The senate’s action in appropriat- ing $50,000 for the commission auto- matically fixed that amount as the maximum that can be given it under the deficiency bill. No appropriation was made by the house, and the bill now goes to conference. DR. ROBT. W. ALLEN GETS HEALTH POST Forman Physician Is Appointed Head of Bureau of Pre- ventable Diseases Dr. Robert W.

JAMESTOWN MAN HAS SMALL EDGE OVER HELLSTROM Bismarck Candidate Is Only 91 Votes Behind, but His Chances Appear Slim SMALL VOTE AIDS LEADER Four-Cent Gasoline Tax Def- initely Beaten; Majority Against It 1,444 Pierce Blewitt, Jamestown, appear- ed to be the choice of the Democratic Party to oppose Governor George F. Shafer for reelection at the fall elec- tion. His lead, with 1976 precincts re- Ported, was only 91 votes, but in view of the light Democratic vote it was doubtful that F. O. Hellstrom, Bis- marck, his nearest opponent in the three-cornered race, could reach him. - The vote was Blewitt, 4,313; Hell- strom 4,222; and Fred Anderson, Minot, 3,124. The proposal for a four-cent gaso- line tax was definitely beaten by the electorate. With 2,090 precincts of the 2,228 in the state heard from, the count was Yes, 77,344; No. 78,831. This represented a margin of 1487 votes with only 138 precincts still to be heard from. Returns from 1,760 precincts on the Sunday movie question gave— Yes, 65,090; No, 77,995, a margin of 12,905. The prospect was that the majority might reach 15,000. Governor Shafer, had increased his Jead to more than 35,000 in his victory for the Republican renomination in the state primary. Only 12 counties had cast a majority for E. H, Brant, Linton, his Nonpartisan opponent. Governor Shafer’s margin was the largest to be given a gubernatorial candidate since 1916 when independ- ents and Nonpartisans began contest- ing for the Republican nomination, which is tantamount to election.- aes substrates rial Beit : y + 11079 prec! out: & the state's 2228 give Shafer~ 973 Brant 61,779. ‘The state's three congressmen, O.
