. THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, SATURDAY, AUGUSY 26, 1933 2 THREE MEET DEATH IN WATER COLLISION Police and Coast Guards Invest- igate Accident on Lake At Chicago Chicago, Aug. 26—(7)—A double ‘Investigation, by police and coast- guardsmen, was under way Saturday into a collision of two water-craft which cost the lives of three world’s fair sightseers. Both boats, the Miss Chicago, a speedboat which carried 10 passengers and its pilot, and the cabin cruiser, ‘The Visitor, with seven aboard, sank after their crash which occurred Fri- day night in Lake Michigan near the mouth of the Chicago river and about 500 feet from the coastguard station. A lookout who saw the accident Gispatched three coastguard boats and 10 men, who rescaued all the Visitor's passengers and all but four of the speedboat’s. Its pilot, Walter Pomper, ‘was dragged to safety by the pilot of another speedboat which hurried up to aid. Only one body was recovered, that of a woman apparently about 40 years cf age. Coastguards dragged the lake for several hours seeking the others, believed to be a father and his young son. Pomper said the boats collided when tne 28-foot cruiser crossed the path of his boat so quickly that he had no chance to swerve it out of danger. The cruiser was rammed amidship and nearly cut in half. Both craft went down immediately but the cruiser was later towed to the guard station. Federal authorities held Pomper for the inquest while police sought to question further Anthony J. O'Malley, whe cruiser’s owner, who said the crash resulted from a race between the Miss Chicago and another speed- boat. —— Weather Report | —— OO FORECAST For Bismarck and vicinity: Fair tonight and Sunday; slightly warmer Sunday.

BEHIND THE CURRENT SCENE } HE DIDN’T SAY NO; HE WAS JUST AWAY The searchlight is glad to print the following letter from C. W. Mc- Donnell, member of the state railroad board, who was mentioned in this column last week as having paid his own expenses to Aberdeen on a trip in the state's interest. McDonnell writes in part: “The governor did not refuse travel authority. Request for it was made about July 15th. I made the trip on July 24, 25 and 26, traveling with elevator accountant from the grain department. I in_temperature. For Montana: Generally fair to- night and Sunday; warmer east of divide Sunday.

The expense account was not sent to the auditing board awaiting receipt of authority which came in on Aug. 15th, letter of transmit- tal being dated Aug. 10th. i “I believe delay in handling request for authority to travel was due to the absence of Governor Langer from Bismarck, especially in view of the fact that he has authorized a trip on Wednesday, August 23rd, for me to attend a meeting of the joint grain transpor- tation committee of the northwest shippers’ advisory board at Min- “Will you kindly give this space in your paper or make such correction as will make it clear that travel authority for the Aber- deen trip was not refused?” The searchlight is glad,to print McDonnell’s letter. He may be leaning over backwards to be fair to the governor, but there it is. The fact is Langer caught a lot of heat before he wrote that letter, dated August 10 and delivered August 15. A lot of people knew about his “failure” to grant travel authority as requested. He wrote the letter when it was pointed out to him that he was making himself small potatoes by his action.

Those in the know say the action wasn’t voluntary, that the Stutsman county Nonpartisan executive committee put on the pressure for Reuben Poindexter, one of its members. Politically it was a triple play, from Langer to R. M. Rishworth to Dr. J. D. Carr, asylum superintendent, upon which Thompson was called out. Rishworth, a member of the board of administration, comes from Jamestown and naturally takes especial interest in the institution. For this reason he was selected to handle the deal. Thompson got the job in the Bank of North Dakota because he used to work with R. M. Stangler, bank manager, and the latter has use for him. 44) EDGING TOWARD THE SPOTLIGHT Since Governor Langer vetoed the proposal to appoint Walter Maddock manager of the state mill and elevator, the feud between the Farmers Union and Governor William Langer has been edging more and more 86) toward the spotlight. As yet the Farmers Union lads have contented themselves with mut- tering in their whiskers and talking among themselves, but the word 1s being passed that Bill “ain’t right.” The specific complaint is that the governor failed to live up to his promises, although the promises themselves were not very specific. The boys under C. C. Talbott’s leadership have found it difficult to translate “Sure, I'll give you anything you want” into anything at all. It seems pretty well established that the governor did not definitely promise to name any Farmers Union man to the mill managership, although he talked some about “turning it over” to the Farmers Union, particularly the state elevator. But on one item they can tag him. That is on the promise to let the Farmers National Grain corporation, huge cooperative, become the mill's grain broker. There is a letter in existence in which the governor promised to do just that. But an old-line commission house still is doing business for the mill. The state enterprisd is paying this Minneapolis firm thou- sands of dollars which might have gone to the cooperative organization, There is real money behind this bad blood—and a lot of other things. How real is this breach may be judged from a recent happening. Bene- dict was having a celebration and asked the governor to speak. It was a bona fide invitation. A Farmers Union leader also was asked to appear. The latter decline. The explanation was that he did not care to appear on the same platform with the governor, though the terms used were more forceful and direct than can well be printed in a family newspaper. The governor appeared—without company. There may be something BOTH WERE PLEDGED TO ACTION The real reasons for nominating Maddock and Usher L. Buick for mill manager were not wholly political, though some persons have been so unkind as to say the “minority” members of the industrial commission were merely putting Langer “on the spot.” The fact is both men were under pledge to clean up the mill if appointed. The antipathy of Maddock and the Farmers Union to the management of O. L. Spencer are well known. Away back in the spring Burdick put himself on record to the same effect by writing a letter to the members of the industrial commission. In it he reviewed the Red Cross wheat deal, suggesting that the commission members probably did not know about it, and demanded action. The “minority” members informed him they already were trying to fire Spencer. What Langer said is not a matter of public record. BALLYHOO WITH A KICKBACK Plenty of people have filed, away a circular sent out a while back the mill and elevator over the Governor's signature. made much of a reduction in flour prices fo North Dakota consumers, scored the preceding mill rhanagement—under the same manager—for sell- ing cheaper in the East than to North Dakotans. Said the governor: “We have reversed this policy (of selling cheaper in the East) and are selling this flour now at home to our people at a lower price than we are selling it abroad. Already we have cut 50 cents per sack or $1 per barrel off the price that was formerly maintained in this state.” - This was perfectly true at the time but it hadn’t been true for long and it wasn’t true for long thereafter. The recent audit of O. B. Lund shows that the East again is getting North Dakota flour cheaper than North Dakotans get it—and have been so favored for some time. THE TRUTH ABOUT A RUMOR If you have noticed a finger of light sweeping across the sky recently it was “The Searchlight” trying to pick up the truth about a report that the insane asylum at Jamestown sent cooked meals out to the summer ex- ecutive mansion at Spiritwood Lake during most of the summer. The quest finally was successful. It can now be reported that rumors which have been in circulation are not exactly true. The insane asylum did not send a “rolling kitchen” out to the lake daily with meals ready to be served. It did send bread and other baked goods daily and kept the summer executive mansion supplied with vegetables. Some furniture was supplied by the occupational therapy department for use of the cottage occupants. ‘Those things have wever been done before but then it may be that other governors have failed to fully understand the possibilities of the Job. by In it the governor TURNING THE SEARCHLIGHT |, neapolis.

Agitators continued to attack the new administration, which has dis- solved congress, set dates for new elec- tions, and declared Machado’s acts in his second term illegal.

D., Aug. 26—(P)—A test case to. determine whether aj thresher’s lien is entitled to priority over a government seed lien has been filed in Williams county district court.- The action was brought by R. B. Delaney, a thresher, and results from the government's ruling that a farm- er who sells grain against which the government has a lien for seed, must pay on such lien at least half the pro- ceeds until the lien is satisfied. The suit, a friendly one, is against the Farmers Elevator, where the grain was sold, and H. U. Sheppard, owner of the land, and seeks to compel the elevator to pay to Delaney $204, the amount of the threshing bill, instead of only half that sum. The grain marked by Sheppard for the purpose of the suit, is just enough to pay the threshing bill. | Farm Facts | — OO Barley infected with head blight or |with ergot is not suitable for use as seed. North Dakota farmers whose 1933 barley is infected with these dis- eases are being urged by the Agricul- tural college to reserve some of their old barley for seeding in 1934, Blackhead causes greater loss of turkeys than any other disease. It 4s moet prevalent in young turkeys from a few weeks to six or seven months old. Older turkeys seem more resistant to the trouble. Usually a nurse crop is not needed when planting pasture, especially when sweet clover is used. The sweet Clover grows rapidly and gives plenty of shade to the young grass. A mix- ture containing two or three kinds of Grasses and a legume makes a better Permanent pasture than when a single kind of grass or legume is seeded. Adjustment payments received by wheat growerg this fall under the pro- visions of the wheat production con- trol plan cannot be assigned. The government contract states specific- ally that any such assignments are null and void. : When Russian thistles are used for hay the plants should be cut while they are still green, and before the spines become hard and sharp, The ey BCT PES LRwS \ fi \ ob fb AGA dome Friend, 1 Yr.
