BANCORPORATIONI DEFENDANT IN SUM PILED IN MILL CTY Woman Plaintiff Says — tors Defrauded Stockholders By Stock Pool Minneapolis, Dec: 9.—()—Suit for judgment in the sum of $2,000,000 was filed in county district court here Friday against all ofifcers and direc- tors of the Northwest Bancorpora- tion and against the corporation it- self, The plaintiff is Anna Englund, a stockholder of the corporation, and judgment is asked in behalf of the yanking organization. ‘The complaint alleges that in Dec- ember, 1929, some of the officials of the corporation organized a pool to purchase capital stock of the organ- ization and to sell that stock at a profit. It is alleged that the pool “fraudulently” made an agreement to buy stock up to 75,000 shares and to pay for the shares out of the cor- poration funds, with the understand- ing that if @ profit was made it would be kept by members of the pool, while if there was a loss, it would be borne by the corporation. It is set forth in the complaint that expenses of the pool were to have been paid by the corporation, that monies were withdrawn from the corporation funds, and that several! members of the pool gave notes against those funds. ‘The plaintiff claims that, when the notes were executed, the defendants had no intention of paying them and that they have not been paid. Fur- ther, it is alleged that the corpora- tion stock declined, that the defend- ants refused or neglected to collect on the notes, or that they charged off the notes without consideration, with Probably quaint little joke, j for the construction bn RRENT SCENE be FINAL, FOND FAREWELLS ra @ sentimental old ballad, “mi when Townley’s doughty crew pulls out of Fargo Get that $5,000,000 for new industries. ‘The Teason Particularly the highway maintenance men who for = oe were not enthusiastic ¢ man from the southern of the sts lose his job, so he kissed his wife ia aay the fate that requires him to work masters, Coe: was told he had to go or kids goodby and started off, lamenting for a living under such difficult task- THE NEW SQUEEZE ON LANGER’S EMPLOYES In Fargo Friday, Townley was quoted as saying that the men who are going to Washington are paying their own expenses. he did not expect to be believed, regards it as just another thelr next month's salary. Many, with an eye on thelr jobs, agreed to the Plan. These new saviors of the state will eat and have gasoline money. Some of the more affluent ones may have enough to buy a little drink in the wet states through which they will pass. HIS EXCELLENCY TAKES THE USUAL DISCOUNT Appearing before Townley’s mass meeting in Bismarck, the governor announced that he was “100 per cent” for the program, asked the “damn- able press” to take note of the fact. That was in the afternoon. That evening he took his usual discount by announcing to the self-same Press that he would, under no circumstances, favor the issuance of state bonds to guarantee repayment of any money the government might donate of state-owned industries, s The two statements do not jibe. As Townley outlines it, his {dea is to go the whole way. Any real 100-per-center would do the same. But that is not the governor's system, CAUGHT BETWEEN THE MILLSTONES It may be the governor thinks he can give the Townleyites the “run- around.” If so, he is liable to be mistaken. Many in the group which met, here, including some of those on the payroll, made it plain enough that they do not trust him, have retaliatory measures ready if he should try to ae their ranks. They feel they have him “over the barrel”—and they ave, Milwaukee Mother Blocks Attempt To Restore Her Daughter to Health Milwaukee, Dec, 9—()—Wheth- er the court can force a mother to sanction an operation on her 16-year-old daughter to save her from permanent inability to use her mouth Saturday was being studied by Judge Edmund Gau- sewitz of juvenile court. Friday the girl and her mother appeared in court, the girl mum- bling almost inaudible answers to questions of the court and proba- tion officers. Her jaw became in- fected several years ago and her condition has since become s0 se- rious that she now can open her mouth but a fraction of an inch. Doctors say that in time she will be unable to use her mouth at all. A Milwaukee specialist, who says the girl can be cured, offered to undertake the operation free, but the girl’s mother, determined to show who “was boss around the house” has refused to consent, Miss Rose M. Croal, a probation Officer, told the court. On reaching home Friday, in- censed at her husband’s agree- ment to the operation, the wom- an jerked off one of her shoes and struck him on the head with it. He was treated at emergency hospital. The court hoped to win the mother’s consent Saturday. 'Gold Price Remains’ HAS PLAN 10 | | At $34.01 an Ounce tes was {$34.01 an ounce Saturday for the . | eighth successive time.

He also is employed by the state regulatory department and pre- sumably carries a full course of work there, too, for he has been paid regu- larly. During September and October he drew pay checks from the state regulatory department. There was considerable comment about it. When his salary for November was presented to the auditing board, Langer raised a protest, although some were so unkind as to think it was the same kind of howl raised by the lad caught with his fingers in the jam pot. Langer knew that some persons unfriendly to him were investigating the matter. Steve Ter Horst, usually urbane head of the regulatory department, argued that Dale was one of his best men and had done good work. The auditing board voted to pass the bill but later Ter Horst quietly withdrew it. Whether or not Dale will get his salary—and expense money—rests on the lap of the political gods. It is doubtful if he will keep his job—at least on the present basis. Some sidclights on the whole business are the facts that Dale’s recent checks have been cashed by R. R. Smith, regulatory department employe who lists himself as Dale's attorney in fact, and the belicf of some persons that Dale was being primed to run on a Langer ticket for treasurer next year against Alfred S. Dale, incumbent. The two Dales are not related. NEW CROP OF HORRIBLE EXAMPLES Discussion of payrolls eM 10 a lot ots things these days and the old; of nepotism is being raised in some quarters. ue Many will remember how Langer castigated the McKinnon family in the last campaign.

Refused, he reverted to open threats, advised the prospective advertiser that, if he wanted to do business with the state, he would have to “come across.” The man didn’t like the idea, popped out to Bismarck to look over the situation. He left without; revealing the result of his investigation. | ‘Credence is lent to the story by the experience of a Bismarck merchant who sought some business at the state highway department. He was told by Czar Vogel “we do business only with firms that support the adminis- tration,” or words to that effect. A lot of firms are said to have been told the same thing. Many a salesman is spreading the poison as a result. ‘ AND ¥S ARE STILL LOOKING FOR THEIR JOBS Bd gee for cash, an alleged friend of Governor Langer recently got some money from two men on the ground that he was to be appointed to an important state office and would give them work when he landed.
