MURDER ACCESSORY CHARGE DISMISSED IN HALLORAN CASE|=: Judge Says State Failed to: Bill to Repeal N. D. Dry Laws Offered FITCH OFFERS BILL T0 HELP FARGO IN MEETING PROBLEMS Water Supply and Sewage Dis- posal Questions Are Brought to Legislature Sponsored by K. A. Fitch, Fargo, a bill was presented to the North Da- kota house of representatives Tuesday through the committee on municipal- ities designed to give cities additional special powers and aimed primarily to help Fargo in the solution of its water problem. He introduced another bill through the committee to provide necessary legal procedure for establishment of a sewage system and for use of which residents would be compelled to pay @ service charge. His “special powers” bill provides for withdrawal of water from any stream, or body of water, “whether within or without or berdering upon the state of North Dakota” in quan- tities reasonably sufficient for needs of the inhabitants of the city. It would permit cities to erect dams and to alter or improve the bed or banks of lakes or streams for insur- ing a water supply and would also | permit cities to acquire necessary; land for protection of the water sup- y. Similar special powers would be delegated to the cities for establish- ment or maintenance of sewage sys- ms.

It would permit cities to regulate or Prove Murder, Even Though Mrs, Judd Hangs. Phoenix, Ariz., Jan. 25.—(?)—Su- perior Court Judge J. C. Niles Wed- nesday dismissed a charge of acces-' sory to the crime of murder against | John J. Halloran. Judge Niles, sitting as a committing magistrate in a preliminary hearing, termed the state’s case inconsistent and said a “trial in superior court would amount to an idle gesture and ‘an expense to the taxpayers of this county.” He added, however, that his order was not final. “If new additional evidence is dis- covered, the county attorney may file before any magistrate in this county the identical complaint against the identical defendant.” The “inconsistency in the state's case,” Judge Niles said, arose from! the testimony of the chief state wit- ness, Winnie Ruth Judd, condemned slayer, who charged that Halloran aided her in the disposal of the bod- jes of Hedvig Samuelson and Agnes Anne Leroi. Mrs. Judd testified she slew the women here on October 16, 1931, in self defense after an argument that started over Halloran’s friendship with another woman. Conflict In Evidence “We have been unable to reconcile the conflicting factor of her conviction “but without avail.” Despite the fact, said Judge Niles, that Mrs. Judd has been convicted of murder and the prosecutor has en- tered in the Halloran hearing the rec- ord of that conviction to “prove » prima facie case,” the state has, by its own evidence—Mrs. Judd’s testi- mony—“proved self defense.” In @ previous discussion of the Hal- loran case, Judge Niles had told Jen- nings that if the killing of the women not be an accessory to a crime.

J. Godwin of Morton PRESENTS BEER BILL, TOO Would Permit Manufacture of Beer When Authorized By U. S. Congress Repeal of the North Dakota prohi- bition laws was asked Wednesday in @ bill iatroduced in the house of rep- resentatives by W. J. Godwin of Mor- ton county. Godwin presented another bill to regulate “manufacture and sale of beer in North Dakota “if and when the United States congress authorizes manufacture and sale of beer in the United States.” The governor would be empowered to appoint a “beer commissioner “to supervise sale and distribution of beer and other beverages in the state. His salary would be $3,000 a year. The “beer commissioner,” accord- ing to Godwin’s bill, would keep a record of licenses and permits. No license would be issued to a “re- tail dealer” unless he “conducts his business within the limits of an in- corporated city. Only one “beer parlor” would be Permitted in towns under 2,000 and “such beer parlor shall be maintained in a hotel if a hotel” is operated in In larger cities one “beer parlor” would be permitted for “each 2,000 in- habitants or major fraction thereof.” The ‘bill says, “tables and chairs shall be furnished in all beer parlors for the convenience of the customers, adding “no barmaids shall be em- ployed in any beer parlor.” | Yearly license fee for manufactur- ers of beer would be $500, with $100 for the wholesaler and $200 for a re- tailer.

P. Goddard, secretary of the Bis- marck Association of Commerce. Postmaster General Brown inform- ed the house postoffice committee that he proposed to discontinue air mail routes from Phoenix to San Diego; from Chicago to Indianapolis; from Big Spring, Tex., to San An- tonio; and one of the services be- tween Kansas City and St. Louis. These changes, committee members said after Brown had testified in exe- cutive session, would be accompanied by extension of the transcontinental and western air express from Los Angeles to San » and cam- bination of the Northern Transcon- tinental and American Airways from Boston to Albany, Buffalo to Detroit, and Muskegon, Mich., to Milwaukee. This would give an air line from Boston to Bismarck and Mandan, N. D., furnishing Canadian connections with Winnipeg and Toronto. Another extension would be be- tween Toledo and Columbus, Ohio. Brown, committeemen said, informed them a mail contract would not be ven to the Ludington line for its extension from Washington to Nash- ville, Tenn, Opposition of the committee, which had resulted in a resolution to, hold {up all the changes, apparently was converted into tentative approval as Brown said money wiuld be saved, reducing the present $13,000,000 an- nual deficit.
