D., September 6, 1924, according to Mrs. Mary Elder, landlady of the Leeds City hotel. All three names are on the ho- tel register and from handwrit- ing and the pictures in the papers, Mrs. Elder the trio, she said. Mrs, Elder states that Haupt- mann and Fisch spent three weeks in Leeds and she well acquainted with them. She also states she met Fisch on a street in Chicago in, 1930 and spoke to him. Mrs. Elder says Hauptmann, when he sang, pronounced his words very clearly but otherwise his speech was in German accent. Fisch, she said, was registered under the name “John Fisch” {[Dillinger, Hauptmann, Fisch Guests | At Her Hotel, N. D. Landlady Claims and was also known as Issy, Jimmy and the “Jew”. She recounts that two years ago a man by the name of Ole Goldberg, registered at her hotel, had told her about Fisch and that “she would not see him again be- cause he (Fisch) had gone to the old country and died of tubercu- Dillinger, she said, was not in company with Hauptmann or Fisch, but he had been in Leeds many times, the last time in July 1932 in company with John Ham- ilton, she said. She said Dillinger and members of his gang had been in Leeds at her hotel many She said Hauptmann worked on the L. Olson farm near Leeds and that he and Fisch engaged in what she called “petty gambling”. Dillinger, Mrs. Elder sald, never stayed at her hotel for more than @ day at a time. celled instruments filed in the of- fice of register of deeds and setting more definite schedule of abstract- ing fees to eliminate “unreasonable charges” were offered by Senators Fine, John Brostuen of McKenzie and B. W. Lemke of Towner. Both ‘carried emergency clauses with the explanation that abstractors have “built a monopoly of abstract- ing, and all competition has been eliminated under the monopolistic provisions of the abstractor’s law;” that fees allowed abstractors are “too indefinite and exhorbitant”; and that immediate approval is necessary to provide for disposal of satisfied and cancelled instruments and to “protect the public from the monopoly and unreasonable charges being made by abstractors.” Provision of Motor Acts The three motor transportation Proposals presented would: Permit reciprocal agreements with other states by exempting non-resi- dent commercial haulers from cer- tain fees and taxes when laws of their states grant similar privileges. Exempt interstate truckers from the “truck mile tax” if they are op- erating under a permit of the state railroad commission and license of the state motor vehicle department. Clarify definition of term “auto transportation company.” The committee on education of- fered & measure to require free cor- respondence courses be provided for all North Dakota children of high school age. Under terms of the bill, a com- plete high school curriculum by cor- respondence would be set up by designated state institutions of high- jer learning and the necessary ma- chinery be developed at the insti- tutions to carry on high school instruction by correspondence “on a. high level.” college is designated as the state director of correspondence courses in secondary education to coordinate the corres- pondence work of participating in- stitutions, Provision also is made for study centers and adult classes. Final action on a house resolution memorializing laws insuring Juries” was laid over until Monday on motion of Senator Ettestad. William Watt of Cass declared he had “often wondered how federal Juries are selected” and asked some- one to explain. No one responded, and Ettestad finally arose, said he was a member of the committee which recommended it for passage, but that the committee did so because “it didn’t like to kill the bill until it found out how the juries were se- lected.” ‘The Cain-Young measure aimed to legalize the moratorium in North Da- kota will come onto the floor of the North Dakota senate Monday recom- mended for passage with amendments tt would be only fair that the rents |Tellef from. coming state-owned lands should help pay taxes, declaring there are some townships in which People couldn’t afford to live be- cause just a few people have to pay taxes, the E.

Outlaw’s Surrender To Agents Explained Pittsburg, Kan., Feb. 9.—()—Jess Doyle, alleged money changer in the ed |Edward G. Bremer kidnaping at St. the nails never had been used. Arthur J. Koehler, federal wood ex- Pert, followed Bornmann. He testi- fied it was his positive opinion that a left-hand upright of the Lindbergh kidnap ladder was ripped from the flooring of Hauptmann’s attic in the Bronx; also that the plane marks on the ladder had been made by Hauptmann’s own plane. One of the points made for the de- fense by two practical lumber men was that the attic board could not be @ part of the ladder rail because it had more knots than the rail. Koehler said the opposite. Koehler said he examined the lad- der rail in 1933, before Hauptmann’'s arrest, and saw in it the four nail holes which he said jibed with nail holes in the joists of Hauptmann’s attic. Dr. E. M. Hudson, a New York physician who testified for the de- fense, said there was only one nail oe in the plece when he examined The federal wood man said he not only observed the nail holes but made @ diagram of them. By Tuesday night, both sides agreed, the case should be in the hands of the eight men and ‘four women jurors. Hauptmann Appears Satisfied Hauptmann watched the concluding Paul a year ago, surrendered to of- ficers Thursday because he thought they were underworld enemies, it was learned Saturday. Doyle was still in the Crawford county jail at Girard and no an- nouncement was forthcoming as to when he would be removed or to what city. Farm Groups to Seek ‘Cost of Production’ Washington, Feb. 9.—(#)—Three major farm organizations were re- Ported Saturday to favor cost of pro- duction legislation for the farmer as congressional members of the farm bloc debated rural problems. Representative Lemke (Rep., N. D.) told the prairie states’ group that the farm bloc committee on cost of pro- duction and crop control “undoubtedly will go on record for cost of produc- tion on farm products consumed in the United States,” and said none of the three big farm groups, Farmers Union, Grange, and a Farm Bureau Federa- tion was opposed. Final draft of the bill which will be recommended to the farm bloc and if approved there, to the agricultural committee of the house, has not been | # day of testimony Saturday with some satisfaction. “I think you have done a good job,” he told Defense Attorney Rosecrans for the defense staff. “I am satisfied.

Rebuttal witnesses for Jersey Fri- day gave an alibi for Fisch on the night of the kidnaping.
