FOR BISMARCK'S FUNDS Proposed Ordinance Which Would Prohibit Double- Parking Is Read Depositories for funds of the city of Bismarck were selected Monday evening by the city commission in its, regular weekly business meeting. With city funds at present totaling about $225,000, it was decided to maintain deposits in the First Na- tional Bank up to $125,000 and in the Dakota National Bank and Trusy leompany up to $100,000. Bidding for the deposits, each bank offered 2.5 per cent interest on time deposits and 1 per cent on call on surety bonds protecting the \ funds. The commission decided that surety bonds for $225,000 should be taken out. Read Parking Ordinance The ordinance designed to bring an end to unnecessary, double-parking in the city was given its first reading Monday night and is expected to re- ceive a favorable vote next Monday evening. The ordinance would pro- hibit double-parking except for a rea- when it is necessary because regular parking space is occupied. If the driver of the double-parxed machine is not engaged in delivering goods, the car must not be left unattended. The proposed ordinance also requires that double-parked machines must be not. more.than 18 inches from the ma- cine at its right, this being intended to prohibit double-parking too far out in the middle of’ the street.

British Outlaw Gandhi Party To Halt New Trouble in de TWO OHIO YOUTHS FATAL CABIN FIR Started Blaze After Nailing Doors and Windows; Eight Persons Perished Gallipolis, O., Ja. 5.—()—Sheriff Charles Swanson announced Tuesday that two inmates of the boys’ in- dustrial school at Lancaster confessed they made a funeral pyre last spring out of a Gallia county log cabin. burning eight persons to death. Revenge was the motive, Swanson said, adding that the boys confessed because of stricken consciences. The boys were Alber Reymer of Gallipolis and Elsworth Moywer of Bucyrus. The cabin was occupied by James White, 40. He and seven of his children died in the flames. Before setting fire to the cabin, the youths said, they nailed up the doors and windows so there would be no escape for the victims. The sheriff said they admitted the crime to him and to Assistant Su- perintendent Lambs when they visit- ed the youths at the institutiom White had moved from Gallipolis to the cabin, located in an isolated district 12 miles west of here, the night before the fire. His son, George, 12, was the only one who escaped. The boy broke from the cabin, but suf- fered severe burns. Swanson said Reymer and Mowyer were sentenced to Lancaster for auto- mobile theft and that they would be returned.here for prosecution. RECEIPTS OF LOGAL lregistera. or picketers. ..

Final Count Shews ee oe Fabel | POSTORFIGE GAINED 412 DURING 193 Business by Assistant Post- master Larson Receipts of the Bismarck postoffice were $4,612.67 greater in 1931 than for “}the preceding year, it was announced '8)Tuesday morning by Harry Larson, assistant postmaster. He expressed belief that the local office was one of the few if not the only postoffice in North Dakota to show a gain in receipts last year over the preceding year. Receipts in 1931 totaled $205,143.16! compared with $200,530.49 for 1930. The record year for receipts at the local postoffice was 1929, when $213,- 283.91 was taken: in. Due to Larson attributed the increase last year to general business. Receipts for the first quarter of 1931 showed a considerable increase over receipts for the same period in 1930, Probably due to the fact that the leg- islature was in session here, Larson said. Receipts for the first quarter during the record year, 1929, which also was a legislative year, were $71,- 049.29, or $6,549.33 greater than the first quarter receipts in 1931. Receipts during the last three quar- ters of the record year were only $1,- 590.75 greater than for the same pe- riod last year. Capitol Fire Helped 1930 Receipts for 1930 were given a con- siderable boost, the assistant postmas- ter pointed out, due to the capitol fire Dec. 28, 1930. The fire necessitated the purchase by state departments of @ great amount of postage on Dec. 29, 1930, to take care of necessary busi- ness over the year-end. This cut down the gain in receipts during 1931, Larson said. ‘ for 1931 and 1930 was given as fol- lows: 1931 bis Third Fourth Totals . Hoover Nominates 24 For Postmasterships Dakota to the senete.

Jennings Young was dead when of- ficers broke into the house in the Houston East End and Harry, younger brother, with two wounds, was taken to a hospital, where he died soon after. Both probably had been wounded in & gun fight with the officers before they turned their weapons on them- selves. The police received a tip early Tues- day that the Youngs would be found in the house, where they had rented @ room, after they had been pcs across Texas from Springfield, Mo. Nine officers went to the place and Claude Beverly, police Heutenant, ad- vanced with a shotgun. He was fired on and returned the fire. “We're dead, come and get us,” one of the men called out. Gas bombs had been used and after an interval Percy Pe chief of po- lice, donned a mask and said Monday she hoped end their lives rather than submit to arrest. 5 ‘The tip that the desperadoes had rented @ room in the house came to days after it was learned they fled here and the younger brother was re- Ported seen here Monday.
