» ‘ THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 1933 DAMAGE FROM FIRE AT CAPITOL SLIGHT Insulation Material Smouldered for Hours; Announce Floor Arrangement ‘Though it was difficult to extin- quish because of its inaccessibility, a smouldering fire in insulation mater- ial in the new North Dakota capitol building caused slight damage Thurs- day, according to officials of the Lundoff-Bicknell Construction com- Pany. The flame started Wednesday eve- ning when a spark from an acetylene torch found its way into a two-inch layer of insulation material under the concrete slab flooring on the plaza above the first floor. ‘Though there was no blaze, work- men knew there was fire some place because of the odor of smoke. Work- men left the building about 9 o'clock ‘Wednesday night believing the fire extinguished, but it revived during the night. Chemical fire extinguishers, oper- ated by the local fire department, put an end to the smouldering Thursday afternoon. Assignment of floors in the new building to state departments was made this week by the capitol com- mission as follows: * First floor—governor, secretary of state, attorney general, industrial and securities commissions. Second—supreme court. Third—state treasurer, state audi- or. Fourth—highway department. Fifth—highway department. Sixth—land commissioner, commis- sioner of agriculture and labor. Seventh—state tax commissioner, bank examiner. Eighth—insurance department. Ninth — workmen’s compensation bureau, state mine inspector. , Tenth—board of administration, children’s bureau. Eleventh—superintendent of public instruction, state printer and board of auditors. ‘Twelfth—railroad commission. Thirteenth—motor vehicle registrar, game and fish department. Ground floor—adjutant general, state livestock and sanitary commis- sion, fire marshal. The 14th, 15th, 16th, 17th and 18th floors will remain unfinished tempor- arily as an economy move, since the voard feels that they will not be needed immediately. Says Bank of France Faces Difficulties 17.—(#)—Crumbling French finances, Finance Minister Georges Bonnet revealed Friday, threaten to empty the treasury before the end of the year. The minister told the radical-So- cialist group of the chamber of depu- ties Thursday that while the Bank of France was losing three-fourths of a billion francs (approximately $48,- 750,000). in gold from the treasury it also had been obliged to reimburse holders of three fourths of a billion franes in bonds. “at that rate,” he said Friday, “the treasury will soon be exhausted,” un- te Paris, Nov.

Rate Reduction Is Approved by Board An optional electric rate for domes- tic service, filed by the Montana- Dakota Power company and appli- cable at Crosby, has been approved by the state railroad commission. ‘The rate will make a reduction in bills of 12 to 15 per cent for all do- mestic consumers except those using iess than 10 kilowatts, the commis- sion reported. The former rates re- main in effect and consumers may choose whichever ,rate appears the most advantageous to them. ‘The North Dakota Power and Light company, and the Northern Power and Light company filed electric rates covering bill board advertising and flood light service. The new rates will effect a considerable reduction in the bills of consumers for a class of service previously billed under reg- alar commercial rates, the commis- sion said. ‘The commission’ started insolvency g against the Denbigh Grain company, Denbigh, and John Gutschmidt of Harvey.

Overton's election prepared Friday to plough through the mountain of testimony accumulated by investigators. By sticking close to testimony, the committee hoped to curb the volcanic outbursts that have turned each ses- sion into tumultous uproar that Teached the verge of physical clash. In an attempt to prevent the crush of spectators that have stormed the hearing, the committee Friday per- Check Berry Weights Housewives are urged to make cer- tain that full weight is gfven when they purchase cranberries, according to @ bulletin issued by the North Da- kota regulatory department. “Notice has come to the depart- ment,” according to the bulletin, “that some concerns selling cranberries are either using @ liquid measure or are delivering in many instances as little as 14 ounces by weight when @ quart is called for. Cranberries preferably should be sold by the pound, but when sold by the quart, a dry and not a li- quid quart measure must be used and, further, the dry quart measure must deliver 18 ounces by weight of cran- berries (one dry quart equals 1.16+- liquid quarts).” The North Dakota statute, the bul- Tetin says, sets the legal weight of cranberries at 36 pounds avoirdupois per bushel and requires that when a fractional part of a bushel is sold a lke fractional part of the established weight per bushel must be delivered, which in the case of cranberries is 18 ounces per quart. “In order to avoid violation of the law and prosecution,” says the bulle- tin, “cranberries should be sold by the pound, or when sold by the quart a full 18 ounces by weight given.” Morgenthau’s Nephew Is Given Bank Post “st.

May Indict Mobsmen On Murder Charges of Maryland may seek murder indict- ments against nine persons for the lynching of George Armwood, Negro, at Princess Anne on Oct. 18 as indi- cated in the request of Attorney Gen- eral William Preston Lane, Jr., for their arrests. js The attorney general announced Thursday night he had forwarded to State's Attorney John B. Robins in- formation identifying “by name, ad- dress and occupation nine persons who participated in the crime” and describing “the part each took.” Lane declined to reveal the names until Summerset county authorities had an opportunity to make the ar- rests. Armwood was arrested Oct. 16 after Mrs. Mary Denston, 71-year-old white woman, said the Negro had attacked her. He was rushed to Baltimore to avoid threats of mob violence but was returned less than 24 hours before a mob stormed the jail and lynched him.
