An unorthodox affinity for water shown by alcohol when it is mixed with gasoline was listed as one. The amount of water forming is 1 just a trace so small that alone it would be harmless in gasoline. But in the mixture, the water concentrates in the grain alcohol, causing it to separate from the gasoline. The remedy is a little butyl alcohol. But Dr. Egloff said the amount need- is added to each gallon, on this con- sumption rate, with the farmer get- ting 29 cents a bushel for corn, the additional amount chargeable to os ‘would be’ $90,000,000 annual- Another lication, R.

The committee instructed its counsel, Ferdinand Pecora, to draw up legislation giving it broader power after he reported the Morgan bank- ing house had raised questions about the committee's authority. Fletcher said the committee wanted to remove .| any doubt about its authority, and would ask the senate to amend the resolution under which it is conduct- ing the stock market inquiry. “We want to make it broad enough to cov- er every possible objection that may be raised,” Fletcher said.

March 30.—(?)— Henry Conklin, 58, Platteville under- taker, and his assistant, Frank Cram- ‘a8¢ | er, 38, were found dead Thursday af- ter they vainly tried to save them- selves in the flood waters of the Platte river by tying themselves to a telephone pole with coffin straps taken from their hearse. Conklin’s head was above water, in- dicatipg he may have died from ex- Posure. Cramer slipped down from the pole and drowned. The hearse was swept from the yhighway where it crosses the Platte, eight miles southeast of here, Wed- nesday night. al For six hours futile attempts to reach the men were made with snow- plows and tractors. ‘The two were en route to Lancaster to get the body of Mrs. Charles Bar- tell, who died Wednesday.

Commissioner John E. Williams announced a new re- cess until 3 p. m. and the attor- meys again went into conference. After considerable beating about the bush Wednesday night and Thursday morning, hearing in the effort of Governor Langer to oust George A. Bangs, Grand Forks, and Fred L. Conklin, Bismarck, as mem- bers of the capitol was to get under way here at 2:00 o'clock ‘Thursday afternoon. Presiding is John E. ‘Washburn attorney, by the governor to take evidence in the case and make recommendations, Appearing for the prosecution are E. R. Sinkler, Minot, representing the governor, and C. G. Bangert, Ender- lin, state senator from Ransom coun- ty, appointed special attorney general in charge of the case. Defense attorneys are George W. Thorp, Fargo, and John E. Sullivan, Mandan. Sullivan was injected into the case Wednesday afternoon. The delay Wednesday afternoon was occasioned by failure of Thorp to arrive in time for the hearing. That of Thursday morning was caused by a conference between Sinkler and defense attorneys for a celard which was not directly dis- closed. Rumor had it, however, that nego- tiations had been conducted for Settlement of the case whereby Bangs and Conklin would resign in for a statement by the governor there had been no graft and : wrong-doing in connection with capitol building. The governor understood to have refused on ground that for him to make a statement would be a confession that the entire effort to unseat the jeapitol commissioners was actuated {by political considerations. the legislative investigating commit- ‘tee which probed the capitol con- |struction issue during the legislative |session.
