Skxogen, 70-year-old farmer of Adams county, died at 5:45 a. m., Wednesday at a local hospital. Complete funeral arrangements have not yet been announced but burial will be made following services in the Emanuel Lutheran church at Hetting- er, probably on Sunday. Mr. Skogen was born February 4, 1864, in Norway and came to the Unit- ed States in 1903. He lived for one year in Minnesota and then moved to the eastern part of North Dakota. In September, 1906, he went to Hettinger and took out a homestead eight miles north of that city. Besides his wife he leaves four sons and four daughters. They are Ole Skogen, who farms on his father’s homestead; Mrs. Sarah Norby, Bertha Warne, and Mrs. Helmina Kwangvig, all of near Hettinger; John, Lars and Henry, are all em- ployed in scattered cities. Henry is in Montana and Mrs. Selma Kogli- mier, another daughter, is in Aber- deen, S. D. People’s Forum (Editor's Note)—The Tribune wel- comes letters on subjects of Inter- est.

BOUQUET AND SUGGESTION Hazelton, N. D. July 11, 1934 Editor, Tribune: The most of your editorials are en- tirely commendable —Tuesday’s on “Legal Moratorium” especially so. Re- garding your analogy of the measure as @ medicine likely to be helpful, may I make the observation that it would be equally, or even more, helpful if a certain preventative for future trou- bles could be assured. The writer continues to hold the opinion that in the future, orgies of price inflation and wild speculation must be curbed by paying for future wars as they go. ‘This means at war's outbreak all in- dustries must be conscripted and so- cialized for the war's duration, and sf any wage or salary is paid to any- cne it must not be above the soldier's pay of thirty dollars a month. A maximum price must be set on all goods. Perhaps these things can never be accomplished because human na- ture never changes. In a future war Jingoism and fanaticism will again Prevail. E. Weiser Editor's note: Mr. Weiser’s at- tention is called to the resolution Passed by the .North Dakota American Legion at its Fargo con- vention calling for enactment of the universal service act. Also to this newspaper's editorial sugges- tion for action along this line, as Presented in ‘ts issue of July 3. —_______—__ | Today’s Recipe | Jellied Apples Four tart apples, 1% cups granu- lated sugar, 1 cup water, 2 tablespoons tiny cinnamon candies, % lemon cut in slices, 1 tablespoon granulated gelatin, 4 tablespoons cold water.

OLE H. OLSON. Acting Governor. Attest: Robert Byrne, Secretary of State. Byrne, possessing the great seal of jthe state and recognizing Olson as governor, filed the proclamation Wed- nesday morning. Brocopp Handed Orders The order handed by Olson to Bro- copp read substantially as follows: “It has been called to my attention that the Bismarck company of the national guard has been mobilized and is now on cuty at the capitol building. “As acting governor, by virtue of the state supreme court's decision rendered as of this date, I hereby order that you return such company to its armory and hold it there, and not permit it to be used for any pur- Pose whatever, at the order of any Person, pending my further order.” E. H. L. Vesperman, local Western Union manager, opened his offices at 2 a. m., at Olson's request, to send islature advising them that the spec- jal session had been called off.

Workmen began re- moving files and papers from Langer’s Office Monday and officials of other it, were removing confidential files from their offices to their homes. Also, all Langer partisans cashed their mid-month expense checks with- out delay, an unusual procedure. The ostensible cause of Langer’s action in calling out the miltia was threat of riot and bfoodshed, although there appeared no possibility of this at any time in Bismarck, political hot- bed of the state and scene of ac- tivity. Late Tuesday night a small crowd, composed largely of young men with a few women stragglers, began to perade the streets shouting at the top of their lungs, “We want Langer!” The group of about 50 persons made so much noise that their voices could be heard on the outskirts of the city and the streets immediately filled with automobiles and curious onlookers, On the whole, however, the demon- strators were orderly and no untoward events occurred. Later this group and hundreds of |the curtous flocked to the state cap- itol building where Langer addressed them, among other things them for ioney to finance his ap- peal from the federal court convic- tion on charges of against the federal government, which lies ag the root of his present trouble.

Throughout the night Olson was in conference with his friends and ad- visers at the Prince Hotel. . still in the governor's office, held con- ferences with his partisans there, issu- ing a statement that his declaration of martial law was “designed to pre- vent bloodshed and rioting.” some quarters was that Langer still is the de facto governor and will con- tinue to be so until a writ of quo warranto is served on him by the su- preme court. Olson forces, however, were re- Ported to have taken tne stand that no such writ is necessary; that as soon as the court held Langer disquali- fied from acting he ceased to be de facto governor or to hold any official authority. Clarification of this angle was expected during the day. Case Had Peculiarities Attention was called Wednesday to &@ peculiarity of the court action ‘When the court held Langer disquali- son assumed office automatically by reason of such disqualification. The decision of the court was by a four-to-one vote, Chief Justice Burr sud Justices Burke, Nuessele and Mc- Kenna comprising the majority and Justice George Moellring, appointed to the bench by Langer, dissenting. Moeliring reserved the right to file a dissenting opinion. Observers considered the declara- tion of martial law by Langer as a fight against time in the face of the convening of the special session of the legislature. It was pointed out that with Langer forces in control of both they were hopeful that the legislature would take some action that may su- presede the court's order. How this would be done was not ascertainable, but it was definitely learned that such action has been considered by Langer supporters. Would Avoid Langer said his attention had been called to “the threat of rioting and disorder throughout the city to such an extent that the city is unable to cope with it.” Through the night, adherents of Langer marched through the streets here shouting, “We want Langer!” There also was a demonstration at the hotel where Olson lives.
