~ BlG PROFIT SHOWN BY INSURANCE FUND Olsness Announces Fire and Tornado Business Clear- ed 60 Per Cent Aided by interest on the surplus fund, the state fire and tornado fund has shown a profit of more than 60 per cent tn the 14% years of opera- tion, according to 8. A. Olsness, state insurance commissioner. With an interest income of more than $63,000 the fund made a profit of $48,200 during 1933. As a result of lower values on buildings, insur- ance coverage was reduced during the last two years and this reduction, with smaller premium charges, some- what decreased the income of the fund, Otsness said. Fire and tornado coverage on state, county, school and municipal prop- erty, he added, is as sound as that furnished by the large insurance com- panies. “Realizing the plight of the taxing districts,” Olsness said, “the legisla thres of the last two sessions have teduced the premiums. Such action by the legislature has resulted in a! much-needed saving of more than $200,000 during the last two years. Losses during the year 1933 were ab- normally large, the loss ratio being 104 per cent.” ‘The purpose of the fund is to re- duce insurance costs on public prop- erty, Olsness said, and the fund al- ready has accomplished a great deal in this respect. The surplus now ts $1,600,000. When &@ mark of $2,000,000 is reached, no further accumulations will be added to the fund, which will be operated at cost. Bismarck Witnesses Testify in Mill City Minneapolis, Feb. 19.—()}—Two wit- nesses for the state Monday identified “Big Mose” Barnett as the man who served a term in the Bismarck, N. D., penitentiary in 1917 under the name of Sam Harris. The state and defense rested after these two witnesses had been heard and the defense then mov- ed for dismissal, but the motions were denied by District Judge Frank E. B. A. Woehle, former deputy warden at the Bismarck penitentiary at the time Sam Harris was convicted, iden- tified Barnett as the man who served @ prison term as Sam Harris. Woehle also testified that Barnett made a visit to the prison in 1925 to visit an inmate. Woehle identified fingerprints and photographs of Har- Tis, taken in 1917, as original records. These were received in evidence. Robert Henderson of Bismarck, who testified he had been an inmate of the North Dakota prison in 1917 and 1918, ‘was called as the state’s second wit- ness. He identified Barnett as the Sam Harris who served a term in prison in 1917 and part of 1918. HANGS SELF AT MINOT Minot, N.

Frazier Asks Probe Of Grain Exchanges Washington, Feb. 19.—()—Assert- ing the farm adjustment act would not be successful in raising agricultural prices “so long as gamblers manipulate the grain markets,” Senator Frazier (Rep. N. D.) introduced in the senate Monday a resolution calling for an in- vestigation of the nation’s grain ex- changes. The Senator also offered an amend- ment to the adjustment act making rye, flax and barley’ Basic commodi- ties.

Washington himself had held many public offices, among them be- ing a commission in the British army, and he was very reluctant sbout breaking those ties before the Revolu- tionary war. It was only after seri- jous study that he cast his lot with the revolutionists when he felt that their cause was right and there was no other way out than a complete break with the mother country. There were many things that made Washington hesitate, he said. The loss of old friendships. the breaking with his church, for the ichureh was the “church of England” ‘in revolutionary days, and the giving up of his rights as an officer in the English army were problems that ‘would make any sincere man: pause and consider. The perplexities of modern - ment, said Higgins, often make us ‘wonder whether. after all, a monarch- fal system of government would not be more efficient than a republic, but he believed that Washington, if he were alive today. would still decide that government by the people was the best and most stable government in the long run. Ray Johnson, accompanied by By- ron Betterly on the piano, played two trombone selections which were en- thusiastically received. E. O. Bailey ‘was program chairman for the day. !Ed Hatch of Bismarck was the only guest. Nicholas Hermann was intro- duced as a new member.

Hickey, Minot; F. W. Kiehn, Rugby; Rolf Glerun, Devils Lake; Jack Hammersmith, Grand W. Murray, Fargo; Neil Bailey, Valley City; R. A. Middaugh, Bismarck; J. A. Cannon, Dickinson, “Accidents on CWA jobs in the ‘United States have been less frequent than on general construction work,” Corn told the group. He felt that this is a remarkable record in view of the fact that most of the project workers have been unskilled. When Corn left Washington last Monday, only 180 deaths had resulted from ac- cidents on CWA work in the country. Corn explained that when the CWA was formed a safety program aleo was set up. The administration authorities felt that it would be un- fair to put an unemployed man on a Job where he might be injured for life, without offering him some com- pensation, he said. Is Merve Widespread Corn is conducting safety meetings all over the country. Leaving Wash- ington last Monday he conducted ses- sions at Columbus, Ohio; Lansing; Mich.; Madison. Wis.; and St. Paul, Monday night he takes a then to Helena, Mont.; Seattle, Wash.; Portland, Ore- gon; and Sunday, Feb. 25, he ex- ects to be in San Francisco. Also present at the meeting were A.

Bressler Saturday was fined five dollars and costs in Police Mag- istrate Edward 8. Allen's court after Pleading guilty to stealing gas from the Montana-Dakota Gas company. In addition to the fine, Bressler agreed to pay $20 to the company for the estimated amount of gas con- sumed. Evidence in the case showed that Bressler had moved into a house and connected the meter without notify- ing the company and had used gas ob heating and cooking for some in passing tence, that as Bressler had taken ‘the gas to keep his family warm it was about on a par with a man stealing a loaf of bread if his famfly were starving and was not to be construed as stealing in the ordinary sense of the word. He said he imposed the fine to impress the public that no one could expect to take property of oth- ers without having to pay ‘for it. ‘Bressler has not been employed stead- | ily for some time. Dr. Wynekoop Again On Trial for Life Criminal Courts Building, Chicago, Feb. 19—()—Dr. Alice Lindsay Wyne- koop Monday went on trial for her life for the second time, charged with the operating table murder of her daughter-in-law, Rheta. Prosecutor Charles 8. Dougherty announced he again would ask the death penalty. Dr. Wynekoop’s plea again was not guilty. The trial opened in the courtroom of Judge Harry B. Miller and was strangely different from her first trial in the court of Judge Joseph B. David a little over a month ago. Instead of a pushing. fighting. shouting mob of fans battling for ad- mission, there was an orderly group of Spectators, witnesses and jurors which did not even fill the limited capacity of the room. Dr. Wynekoop sat erect in her chair and looked about her with interest, a contrast to the limp figure she pres- ented during the first trial, called off because of her serious condition. iis iin t Today’s Recipe i nec BROWN SUGAR PUDDING 2 cups milk teaspoon vanille Mixing time: 25 minutes.
