Governor Pinchot of Pennsylvania, one of several possible Republican presidential candidates mentioned by members of the western Republican, independents, brought the issue for-' ward Thursday. He called upon Andrew W. Mellon, one of Pennsylvania's wealthiest citi- zens and Hoover's secretary of the treasury, asking him for $1,000,000 for a state unemployment fund to be re- paid later from the Pennsylvania state treasury. He did not get it. The Pennsylvania governor then proceeded to Capitol Hill and consult- rounding territory. Operation and expense of cream grading in Canada was explained by E. E.

Moellring that it can re- turn one of three verdicts—not guilty, | ed, or second-degree murder. If convicted in the first degree, Sa- vora, a 50-year-old Russian, must spend the rest of his life in prison— if guilty in the second degree the sentence may vary from 10 to 30 years. Savora was pictured by the prosecu- tion as a brutal slayer who killed Mrs. Korchenko by cutting her throat on a street a short distance from the Sa- vora house where she lived. The defense pictured Savora as a victim of circumstance, claiming the officers “had to get someone” and that Savora was “it.” Savora, taking the witness stand in his own defense to deny the killing of Mrs. Korcheko, Thursday gave con- siderable testimony contrary in vari- ous ways to statements which state witnesses have testified he made to them after the murder.

Superstitions About Friday the 13th Failto Bother Many Bismarck Persons Friday, the 13th, supersti- tions falied to disturb Bismarck residents much today if the opin- ions of a handful of citizens questioned by a Tribune reporter can be regarded as indicative of the general attitude in the city. Only one, Police Chief Chris J. Martineson, expressed any tre- pidation over the ill-omened day. ‘The chief said he would be “glad when the day is over” but gave no reason for his feeling. He said that although he is not super- stitious, he feels uneasy when 4 black cat crosses his path and declared he never walks under a ladder unless it is necessary. A. P. Lenhart, president of the city commission, characterized Friday, the 13th, as “one of my lucky days.” “As a matter of fact,” he said, “I assumed man- agement of my drug store on Fri- day, the 13th, in February 26 years ago. And I regard that day as one of my most fortunate.” In support of his claim that.13 always has been a lucky number, Police Magistrate Edw. 8. Allen pointed to the fact that the orig- inal states of the union number- ed 13, “and who can say that the United States has not had the g services of Lady Luck?” he said. “Friday, the 13th, never both- ers me, but whenever a black cat crosses my path I take things easy for a while,” John W. Reel, director of recreational activity, H. P. Goddard, secretary of the Association of Commerce, said that if he had any big deals to put over, he could not think of a better day to start action than on Friday, the 13th. Prediction that the 13 Burleigh county men who had secured deer | hunting licenses Friday morning would have good luck during the season was made by A. C. Isam- inger, Burleigh county auditor. “This is an appropriate day to start such a campaign and should bring.us good luck,” J. P. Wag- ner told 30 Bismarck women Fri- day morning in explaining to them details. of a ticket-selling campaign for unemployment re- Hef shows next week. Supreme Court Justice A. M. Christianson is among those who believes Friday, the 13th, has a good, rather than ill, omen. “Why, President Wilson said Friday, the 13th,” he added. Columbus discovered America on fe Hazen; and P.
