“ |» BEING CONSIDERED THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, TUESDAY, APRIL 28, 1931 JOINT RATES ARE BY RAILROAD BODY i Minot Commerce Body Filed Complaint Against Soo and Bus Line Company Whether joint through rates can ‘be established between a motor truck line and a railway line was a question confronting the state board of rail- road commissioners Tuesday follow- ing the submission of arguments and briefs by the opposing sides. Intricate legal points are at issue in the case, with much of the argu- ment presented before the commis- sioners bearing on whether the state commission has jurisdiction and pow- er to prescribe joint truck and rail rates. The matter was taken under consideration by the commission. Early in the summer of 1930, the Minot Association of Commerce filed 2. formal complaint alleging the com- bination rates via the Interstate Transportation company, a truck line, from Minot to Max, and the Soo Line railway from Max to Sanish, Wash- burn and Butte, N. D., and interme- diate points are unreasonable and un- lawful in that they exceed the basis of joint railroad rates established by the state commission July 12, 1929. These new joint railroad rates -ver: substantial reductions fcr joint rail- road hauls but were not made appli- cable to truck lines. The Interstate Transportation company, nominally a defendant, is in favor of the reduced rates and ap- peared in support of the complaint. Numerous Minot business men and representatives of business interests in the destination cities testified in favor of the reduction. MIGHT RETURN 10 N.D. CAPITOL SOON Work of Remodeling North Wing of Structure to Be Com- pleted Before June Several state departments formerly housed in the old state capitol build- ing expect to return to their “home” quarters within a few weeks. Work of remodeling the north wing of the structure, swept by fire last Dec. 28, will be completed befure the end of May, according to members of the state board of administration. Delay has been encountered be- cause of the water-soaked walls which cannot be caleimined until they are dried. Electric fans are be- ing played on the wet spots to hurry the drying process. It has not been definitely deter- mined, board officials said, watch de- partments would return to the re- modeled structure, but indications are that some of the departments would return to their former quarters. The state treasurer and auditor's offices, now housed in the Liberty Memorial Building on the capitol grounds, are among those expected to take up quarters in the old wing, which has been leveled off to a two- story building. Work of repairing the wing is being | done under a legislative act appropri- ating $10,000. proved sufficient for the work, board officials said, because of unusually low bids received on contracts for tne re- construction. Directed Verdict For Hughes Given In McCurdy Action (Continued from. page one) jury, some work on the Bismarck bank case and a trip to Chicago with members of his family. He also as- serted that a letter from Judge G. Grimson, who sat in the case, had Jed him to believe a settlement might be effected and this fact contributed to the circumstances which caused him to fail to prosecute the case vig- orously. Reiterates His Charge In seeking to have McCurdy dis- barred, Hughes said he believed the lawyer had entered into an arrange- ment with Patterson whereby the latter was to support McCurdy for state’s attorney and McCurdy was to neglect prosecution of the Patterson tax case. Testifying in the present trial he said he still believes this to be the case. McCurdy, on his part, sought to prove malice on Hughes part hy re- citing a conversation which, he said, occurred on a Bismarck street in the spring of 1924. This occurred shortly after a trial In which McCurdy represented- a plaintiff who collected damages from a@ company in which Hughes was in- terested, McCurdy said. He quoted Hughes as saying at that time: “Re- member, anyone who does anything like that to me has got something coming and it is drawing interest all the time.” McCurdy said Hughes then told him of his relations with another man with whom he had “got even” because of his actions in an- other deal. Under cross-examination Tuesday, McCurdy was asked time ana time again by E. B. Cox, attorney for Hughes, why he did not complete the record in the case from the time it was decided in May until Dec. 27, when a judgment finally was entered. Worked in Spare Time His testimony brought out the fact| that he had not regarded the case as} one meriting major attention and that he had worked on it only in his spare time and when no more press- ing matters called for his attention. Meantime, he admitted, Patterson’s taxes remained unpaid and the case lay dormant. He admitted that the time neces- sary to have drawn the final papers was not more than two or three hours and that the time needed to obtain the figures upon which to base an or- der would not have been great. Indications were that the plaintiff would finish presentation of his case Tuesday and that the defense would begin the introduction of testimony late Tuesday or early Wednesday.

The officer expressed the belief the professional gunmen were hired by enemies of Perry. Four men were seen loitering in the alley behind the garage a few minutes before the con- fidence man was shot, Fegan said. ‘The quartet was seen by Mr. and Mrs. Rene Rousset, neighbors of Perry's father-in-law, John Caniff, on whose premises Perry was shot. Sheriff Fegan believed the gangsters might have killed Perry upon the in- stigation of Perry’s associates in the faro game in which Mrs. Myrtle Tan- ner Blacklidge and Edward Litsinger were swindled out of $50,000 in a Springfield, Ill., hotel. The gangster theory was streng- thened by reports from Portland, Ind., where Dr. George L. Perry announced that he received an anonymous letter April 12 warning him of a purported plot against his life. His informant: said he overhead a conversation be- tween two men on a bus near Muncie, Ind., and that the men had said they; couldn't “stay around any longer than/ April 23 to do the killing.” Perry of| South Bend was shot on the 24th, however. | Meanwhile, other investigation into the slayings seemed at a standstill. Caniff and his daughter, Perry's widow, were questioned again Monday out either refused or could shed no more light upon the affair. VIRGINA MOTHERS WILL BE HONORED, Mrs. Elinor B. G. Byrd and Mrs. | Mary P. H. MacArthur to | Receive Medals Washington, April 28.—(7)—Two Virginia mothers will receive recogni-| tion Tuesday night because they rear-) ed illustrious sons. i The daughters of 1812, in conven-| tion here, voted to award gold medals to Mrs. Elinor Bolling Flood Byrd and Mrs. Mary P. Hardy MacArthur, mothers 0° famed sons and members of families which have been producing | heroes for generations. Mrs. Byrd, of course, is the mother | and the Atlantic ocean. But her other | two sons—Tom and Harry—have won fame, too. A woman who always has! stayed in the background, Tuesday night will be the first time the spot- light and decorations have been hers. The other mother reared Douglas MacArthur, now chief of the army Staff. She has lived with her son since her husband, a lieutenant gen- eral in the army, died in 1912, and has seen Douglas rise from a cap- taincy, which he held then, to the: full generalship which accompanies his present position. \ Mrs. MacArthur is an invalid, and} unable to leave her room in General MacArthur's Fort Myer, Va., home. She therefore designated him to re- ceive the gold medal for her. Negroes Get Sentences Of More Than 50 Years Richard Hubbard, 22, Charles B. Moore, 26, and James Smith, 16, three negroes who beat and robbed a St. Paul man near Buffalo Friday and who have received prison sentences totaling more than 50 years, will be received here sometime this week, prison officials said Tuesday. Gunder Osjord, head of the state bureau of criminal investigation, who has been conducting an investigation as to the previous record of the three stated that Hubbard had served a term in the Montana state peniten- tiary for grand larceny. Hubband, who according to Harry Tankenoff, the robbery victim, was the ringleader in the holdup, and Moore were sentenced to 20 years each, and Smith to 10 years, In sentencing Smith, Judge Cole said “I suppose I could send you to the state training school but under the circumstances I believe it is bet- ter that I send you to the peniten- tiary.

He was stricken at the publishers’ meetin: in New York last Wednes- day and was brought back home Sun- day in a serious condition. At the time of his death Colonel Ewing was Democratic national com- mitteeman from Louisiana and pub- lisher of four daily newspapers, New Orleans States, Shreveport Times, Monroe News-Star and Monroe Morn- ing World. Born in Mobile, Ala., Sept. 27, 1859, the son of a Scot who came to Amer- “ica in 1840, he was forced to leave school and earn his living after the family fortune had been swept away in the war between the states. He was married twice, first in 1888 to May Dunbrack, of Nova Scotia, and after her death in 1904, to Grace Hag Mackay, Kansas City, who is left. He also leaves five sons and one daughter by his first wife; James Lindsay, associate publisher of the’ New Orleans States; John Dunbrack, associate publisher of the Shreveport Times; Toulmin N., assistant manager of the Shreveport Times; Robert Jr., attorney of New Orleans; Wilson, ad- vertising director of the Monroe pub- lications; and Mrs. E. G. Brown, New Orleans. 208 DEATHS DURING WINTER CAUSED BY POISONOUS DRINKS Disclosure Is Made by Officials of Bureau of Industrial Alcohol Washington, April 28—(#)—A wave of 208 deaths during the winter at- | tributed directly to the drinking of | wood alcohol or synthetic methanol was disclosed Tuesday by the bureau of industrial alcohol. Commisisoner Doran said an even greater number of deaths believed due to a similar cause were under inves- tigation, but that 208 already had been certified through an elaborate | Survey of state officials’ ad coroners. The investigation has been under way for months. It was undertaken to determine whether there was im- proper handling of completely de- natured alcohol, made under govern- ment supervision. “Where we found between 12 and 15 deaths due to the drinking of com- pletely denatured alcohol made before our non-poisonous denaturant was adopted Jan. 1,” Dr. Doran said, “we discovered 208 had died from drinking wood alcohol or the anti-freeze so- lution made from synthetic methanol, neither of which are under govern- ment control.” people who had formerly drunk anti- freeze solutions made from completely denatured alcohol, containing four per cent of poisonous wood alcohol, un- wittingly turned to the new and cheaper solution made from synthetic methanol. The wood alcohol content of the latter in many instances aggre- gates 76 per cent. Among the deaths from either wood. alcohol or synthetic methanol, de- scribed as attended by almost instant paralysis of the optic nerve and body convulsions, were 10 occurring in or around Greensboro, N. C., 15 near Los Angeles, 10 at Chestertown, Md., eight at Pittsfield, Mass. and six in south Boston. Dr. Doran said some cases were dis- covered of improper handling and labeling of the denatured alcohol made under government formula and that these had been turned over to the justice department for prosecu- tion. “We have no control over the sale of wood alcohol or synthetic meth- anol,” he said, “save to urge the in- dividual states to enact laws provid- ing more stringent control.” It was held probable that the bu- reau of industrial alcohol’s investi- gations would be made the basis for @ new drive by some governmental agency for the enactment of federal laws allowing more control of this situation. The deaths, it was said, began early last fall when 14 persons died in or around Newark, N. J. Coroners’ in- quests showed all 14 attributable to the drinking of wood alcohol. During the colder months, when anti-freeze solutions were widely used, the wave spread through the mid- west, into New England and as far south as the Carolinas. ° ote | City-County News ry P, B.

Interest in Gardens In on the Increase Several hundred farm women in western North Dakota who are mem- bers of homemakers clubs are con- centrating on their gardens asthe main project of the year not only as @ means of economizing household food budgets but as a means of pro- viding a wider variety of healthful vegetable foods, according to Miss Ruth M.

District Attorney Is Speak- er at Luncheon Meeting of Kiwanis Club Assertion that the so-called good citizens of the country rather than the bootleggers and racketeers constitute the most pressing problem in America was made Tuesday by P. B. Garberg, federal district attorney, in an ad- dress to the Kiwanis club. Garberg said the high-grade citizen is what makes possible the bootlegger and the racketeer and that observance of the law by persons in places of trust and responsibility would do much to solve the problem which the bootlegger and racketeer presents. The situation was typified, he said, by @ North Dakota citizen who com- plained that liquor was being sold and used in the vicinity of a certain dance hall. He wanted the federal author- ities to do something about it. “I told him,” Garberg said, “you take a drink once in a while. I have every reason to believe you do. You know who the bootleggers are that are selling this liquor and creating this condition of which you complain. “Why don’t you and the parents of other boys and girls who are being laid open to this temptation, call in these bootleggers and say to them, ‘quit this practice or we will report you to the authorities and see that you do.” If you did that your problem would be ended.” Touching briefly on the prohibition law, Garberg said the people are res- ponsible for it and that it is up to them if it is to be made successful. The federal authorities, he said, are struggling along doing the best they can to enforce it and will continue to do so without complaint until the present situation is changed. Garberg stressed the responsibility of the individual and of such organ- izations as the Kiwanis club to set a good example and typify a high stan- dard of citizenship, telling them that most of the problems of government would vanish if the standards of citi- zenship among the rank and file of the population were sufficiently high. C. V. Freeman, James Guthrie and George W. Maroney were admitted to membership in the club, the charge being delivered by Gordon Cox. Tom Burke was appointed to rep- resent the Kiwanis club on a commit- tee which will sponsor the appear- ance here early next month of the Madrigal club, musical organization of the University of North Dakota. Guests at the luncheon were Fed- eral Judge Andrew Miller, E. O. Enge- son, Frank Talcott, Thorpe, Fargo; District Judge C. Buttz and Aleck Elmslie, Devils Lake; and George T. D. Casey, Dickinson, and Gilbert Knudson, Jewell, Ia.
