King George took no notice of the interruption. The monarch turned and in ceremonial fashion, as if noth- ing had happened, offered his arm to the queen. His majesty had been on the point of doing this when the Laborite’s shrill cries, with a merked burr in his Scottish accent, broke through the vaulted peers’ chamber. McGovern's outbreak climaxed Bri- tain’s most brilliant hour of pagean- try and ceremony. The king had just finished his speech, uttering “May God's blessing rest upon your labors,” and had moved away from the throne. Assembly Is Stupified ‘The gorgeous assembly seemed stupified.

In a statement saying that under the circumstances the warrants will paid, Dale severely criticised the allowance of the fee by the state board of administration and the state industrial commission. Construction of the plant was abandoned after the North Dakota Power and Light com- Pany agreed to furnish electricity for state buildings in Bismarck and Man- dan at a reduced rate, estimated by State officials to effect a saving of $40,000 a year. Dale termed the payment as “prac- tically a donation.” No Definite Contract “There should have been a definite contract in the first place,” Dale's statement said, “with a fixed charge instead of the. uncertain and indefi- nite terms under which the foreign company alleges they dealt with the industrial commission. This same bill was presented last summer under the Langer, Gronna, Husby industrial commission, but did not . receive a second. It was resurrected after No- vember 1 and allowed.” Dale pointed to the law providing for a $250,000 bond issue for construc- tion of a power plant at the prison. “This office, however,” Dale said, ‘can see no justification under the above quoted law for the payment of $9,600 from other funds, inasmuch as @ specific method of reimbursement is made in this law from which it would seem all payments should be The board of administration and industrial commission authorized payment of the engineering fees from tunds of institutions benefitting by the reduced electric rates. “The controlled boards have okay- the irregular means of payment 1) along the line,” Dale declared. “This would seem to be an irregular payment of public funds to @ foreign company for a service which might just as well have been performed by the engineering staff of some state department for a small percentage of the excessive charges made.” _ Holds Charge Excessive Dale said the railroad commission making a complete survey of the electric system of the city of Grand Forks “for possibly one-third of the amount charged by this foreign com- pany for some blueprints and type- written sheets of specifications. He charged it was unnecessary to “go beyond the limits of the state when state departments and institu- tions have competent engineers qual- ified to perform the same service,” and expressed the opinion that “pay- ment of this enormous sum is abso- lutely irregular.” “But with certain boards and offi- cials lining up and supporting the ir- regular payment,” Dale continued, “it is useless for me to try further to iprevent it. Until the public becomes aroused over the irregularity, the ex- tortion, the waste and extravagance being practiced in certain quarters, backed up by able legal talent to keep everything within the law, there is very little that an individual, or a few individuals can do to stop it. “Under the circumstances, the war- rants will be paid when presented again to the stal fice.” * Fargo “Tough Guy’ | | Breaks Jail Lock | Fargo, N.

J., Nov. 21—()—A bullet ended the colorful career of Sheldon A. Clark, wealthy young oil company executive and sportsman, after a quarrel with his wife who told Police Tuesday she does not recall what happened after he hit her with a billiard cue. Mrs. Clark, a former actress, is under police gu: at a hospital with! @ severe head injury. Six stitches were required to close the wound which investigators said was inflicted before the shooting Monday night. No charge was placed against her. Clark, 35-year-old son of A Sheldon Clark, of Barrington, Il, senior vice president of the Sinclair Refining company, prominent in Illinois and an industrial and civic leader, met almost instant death from a bullet in the breast while he stood in the bil- Nard room in the basement of his 16-room mansion. A_ six-year-old son of the bebe . Nich- ‘been hired by Clark for some work on @ boat, witnessed the killing. An- other child, Harry, 5, was in a nearby room. Police quoted Johnson as stating the quarrel began while he and Clark were playing billiards. Mrs. k told her husband dinner was ready and he replied he intended to have dinner at the home of a cousin. Mrs. Clark asked him to spend more eve- nings at ‘home, the witness said. ‘Mrs. Lavina Brown, a housekeeper, told investigators the Clarks enter- ed the dining room while arguing about dinner. juddenly Clark growled: ‘If want an argument, I'll give you one,’” Mrs. Brown told Chief of Police Win- field Matson. “And with that he hit her over the head with the heavy end of the billiard cue, breaking it,” the house- heeper related. “Mr. Clark went down to the billiard room again.” Johnson said he and Clark resumed their game and after a few minutes Mrs. Clark entered, with a bloody towel wrapped around her head. “Then she said: ‘Sheldon, you've killed me,’” Johnson told Chief Mat- son. “She reached into the folds of the towel around her head and pulled out a@ .45-calibre revolver. She pointed it at him before I had time to move— or he had time to do anything—and fired. “The bullet hit him in the chest and knocked him right over.” William May Garland | Gets Sullivan Medal Pittsburgh; Nov. 21.—()}—William May Garland of Los Angeles, presi- dent of the committee which made ar- rangements fér the highly-successful Olympic games held there in 1932, Monday was named as the first recip- ient of the James E.

O. Put- nam, county agricultural agent, informed Tuesday over the telephone by Ben Kienholz of Fargo, federal ag- ricultural statistician. Putnam said Burleigh is one of the tew counties in the state so far re- | porting which will not have to revise .ts figures to conform with federal government figures. Burleigh’s modified county average, upon which most of the bonus pay- -nents will be based, will be “above eight busitels to the acre,” Putnam said following the long-distance con- versation. ‘ The bonus of 28 cents per bushel, 20 cents this fall and eight cents next spring, will be paid on 54 per cent of ‘he average production, or more than four bushels for each acre on which ‘wheat has been raised, the agent said. This means that Burleigh’s wheat acres will bring a bonus of “about $1.15" on the average or close to $200,000 for the approximately 154,000 scres under contract. About 88 per cent of the county's wheat acres are under contract, Put- nam said, Burleigh having about 175,000 wheat acres. The modified county average is based on acreage and production for the years 1930, 1931 and 1932. Some farmers, Putnam said, are using their own actual production figures rather than the modified county average on which to base their bonus payments, but the general aver- age in these cases, he estimated, will approximate the modified county average. The bonus is paid by the govern- Ment out of the fund accumulated through the processing tax on wheat in return for acreage reduction next year.
