BAKER PROMISES LIST Says It Is Difficult to Compile Facts From Data in Her Office (By The Associated Press) The mystery surrounding the iden- tity of North Dakota beer inspectors was partially unraveled Tuesday as the names of 16 inspectors on the state payroll were furnished by vari- ous sources. Beer Commissioner Owen T. Owen, et the time he took office, announced several of the appointments. Later he: refused to divulge the remainder of the list on the ground that such publicity would hamper the work of the briesb testi The number of in- spect on state payroll gen- erally is placed at 20. State Auditor Berta E. Baker, in whose office the warrants are drawn, said it would entail considerable de- tail to compile a list of the beer in- spectors as the names have come through her office one by one and would have to be singled out from the many vouchers, She said the list would be available later. State Treasurer Alfred Dale said a list 1s not available in his office, as payment of the salary warrants and is id of beer inspectors have been held up pending outcome of an ac- tion against the beer commissioner. The 16 who have been serving as beer inspectors are C. C. Snyder, Fargo; J. E. Burton, Kidder; Allan McManus, Grand Forks; George H. Morris, Pembina county; C. G.

King of Menoken is deputy ‘beer commissioner. The action pending in Burleigh county district court against the beer commissioner challenges his power to @ppoint beer inspectors and furnish them transportation under the Initiated beer law. The attorney gen- eral’s office has indicated a demurrer to the complaint will be filed this ‘week. «Doe Warrant Issued In Murder Mystery Carrington, N.

Lee announced another meeting will be called at a later date to formulate definite plans for the precinct, county and state conventions. He said the ‘committee checked up on activities of | the last year, and that its meeting was devoted entirely to routine mat- ters.

He announced that county chairmen Barney Iverson, McKenzie county; Ray Patterson, Renville; E. J.

By a vote of 5 to 4 the high tribunal ruled in favor of the first emergency statute passed either in the state or nation, defending in board principle the right of a state to suspend con- tracts in an emergency. The Minnesota law, which also pro- vided the first major test to be decid- ed by the high court, extends the time for redemption of foreclosed property until May 1, 1935. In the majority opinion, handed down by Chief Jus- tice Hughes, the court went deep into basic principles. Emergency does not create power,” said the chief justice. “Emergency does not increase granted power or remove or diminish the restrictions imposed upon power granted or re- served. The constitution was adopted period of grave emergency . . . “While emergency does not create power, emergency may furnish the oc- casion for the exercise of power.
