The plea first was entered in Zenge’s behalf by his attorney, Joseph Green, when the prisoner was arraigned before Judge Justin F. McCarthy in felony court. The judge then asked Zenge if he wished to ee @ plea personally. Zenge said “Not guilty,” he told the court. He was remanded to the custody of the sheriff and taken from state's at- torney’s officials, who in five days of| q had been unable to shake his claims of innocence.

D., Aug. 6.—(P)—A pre- liminary was waived here Tuesday before Justice L. A. Koons by Arnold Hostbjor, 26, charged with the ax murder of his 66-year-old the axe murder of his 66-year-oléd father, William Hostbjor, Sunday. The justice ordered that Hostbjor be held without bonds. No term of district court is at present scheduled here for several months. The defendant's mother, also at- tacked with an axe, remains in a critical condition in a hospital here. Filing of the murder charge, State's Attorney L, R. Nostdal pointed out, serves to suspend further procecd- ings before the county insanity board which Monday began an inquiry into’ the young man’s mental condition and heard several witnesses. Whether the youth was insane at’ the time of the attacks becomes a’ matter for the defense to prove when the murder trial is held, the state's attorney contends. The youth, believed irrational, was held while the coroner’s jury Mon- day returned a verdict of William Hostbjor’s death “at the hands” of his son and the state’s attorney con- ferred with District Judge G. Grim- son. FCA Has Not Acted on| N. D.

DEATH OF MANKATO CROOK Racketeer, Thought Killed by Irate Farmer, Was Pal of Public Enemies Rochester, Minn., Aug. 6—(?)—Au- thorities turned back to a red page of crime Tuesday, marked by John Dil- linger's hand, in moves to clear up the sordid end of John Kooser, mob- ster and racketeer. First, a warrant was out for Tommy Gannon, pal of the late Tommy Car- roll and Kooser, the latter also an al- leged confederate of Dillinger. Then investigators prepared for an inquest Wednesday into the death of Kooser. Police connected Kooser, Mankato bootlegger and mobsman believed to have aided Dillingers’ escape from Minnesota, and Gannon with the at- tempted robbery of two aged farmers near Rochester. Also issuing two “John Doe” war- rants, police acted on the theory Gan- non left the dead or dying Kooser be- hind after William Witte, 65, repelled them with shotgun fire from the farm house raid. Gannon served a six months’ jail sentence on a conviction in October, 1934, for harboring Homer Van Meter, Dillinger gangster since slain by po- lice in St. Paul. Investigators have suspected ‘Kooser provided an auto- mobile at Mankato for Dillinger and Van Meter after the apartment gun fight. Kooser's crime-spotted record also involves the murders of his wife, Lil- Man, and her sister,-Mrs. James Bar- rett, in St. Paul in 1927, climax of an underworld feud.

George E. Leach of Washington, chief of the United States mili- tia bureau, said in Minot Tues- day he is hopeful that a suitable monument will be erected over the chief’s grave at Fort Yates on the Standing Rock Indian reservation, Seeing a great romance sur- the memory of the In- dian chief whom he declares was the victim of an “atrocious mur- der,” General Leach said that now only a concrete slab marks 1 thp burial place. General Leach came to Minot with Adj.-Gen. Frayne Baker of North Dakota and will remain when he The general first traveled into Minot as a representative of a fire insurance company more than three decades ago. In conferences with General Baker, General Leach is discuss- ing a in 5 be- ing that the work in main be financed by work relief funds. As to the present North Dako- ta National Guard General Leach declares that “na state in the un- fon hes 2 regiment of infantry superior to Narth Dakote.” Bismarck Steady Payrolls, Conservative City Management Given Credit by Atkinson Steady payrolls and conservative management by the city commission for the last decade were reasons ad- vanced by Myron H. Atkinson for Bismarck’s splendid financial condi- tion as the city auditor gave a short review of the city’s fiscal affairs be- fore the Kiwanis club Tuesday noon. General obligation bonds against the city total $458,000, the auditor said, but of this total $305,000 are in waterworks bonds. Since the water- works is retiring its own bonds sys- tematically and its sinking fund now has about $100,000, this item is not a direct load against the taxpayers. The remaining $153,000 in general obliga- |tion bonds includes $48,000 in @ re- funding bond issue and $105,000 in World War Memorial building bonds. Assessments Not Counted Special assessments are not includ- ed in the budget, since these items are “fixed”, Atkinson explained. He Pointed out that special assessments for paving in the business district will run out in 1936 while those in me district No. 2 will run out in Atkinson expressed pride in that the city has never defaulted on its bends or interest and declared the city now owns about $75,000 of its own paper. ‘The auditor said the city con- templates expenditures this fiscal year totaling about $106,000, includ- ing $50,000 for salaries and wages, $40,000 for operating expenses and $18,000 for betterments and improve- ments. More Services Demanded Conservative management by the city commission must be the keynote, he said, because the growing popula- tion demands more governmental services, He pointed out that the Population is growing out of propor- tion to, the assessed valuation of city rty. In explaining the various mental obligations and duties in Bis- marck, the auditor declared that Bis- marck also should be interested in ‘Burleigh county affairs since the city’s evaluation is 45 per cent of the entire valuation of the county. Though the city pays a general prop- erty tax approximating $335,000, he said, only $102,000 or $103,000 goes to the city itself. The remainder goes to the park district, the school board, the county and state. Guests at the luncheon meeting in- cluded Rev. Mr. Louis Hagen of Haz- len, and three members of Kiwanis clubs in other cities, L. V. Bybee of Minneapolis and Captain W. R. Hazelrigg and Henry Gilbertson of Fargo.

E, McCurdy appearing for Frank Finlayson at the hearing conducted Monday night by the board of city commissioners on the revocation of the beer license grant- ed to the South Side Beer parlor. Eleven witnesses appeared at the two-hour hearing during which City Attorney Charles Foster attempted to establish the fact that the beer parlor was a “public nuisance and an im- moral influence” and met resistance on the grounds that the objectionable features occurred outside the tavern and were consequently the respon- sibility of the police department. Foster called seven witnesses to the stand to testify as to general con- ditions in and around the beer parlor. They were Clarence Hanson, Burleigh county constable; Mrs, Matt Seitz, 308 South Ninth St.; Mrs, Elmer Solem, 900 Sweet St.; Mrs. John Meyers, 911 Sweet St.; Patrolmen Joe Shimick, and Earl Schultz, and Philip Finlayson Takes Stand McCurdy’s witnesses included Fin- Jayson; J.

D. Cash Income FRAZIER-LENKE ACT AND BONUS SLATED FOR AXE IN SENATE Veterans Legislation to Get Preferred Status at Next Session of Congress PROPERTY MUST PAY TAXES ‘General Conspiracy’ Among Rich to Evade Levies in Past Charged Washington, Aug. 6.—(P)—A deci- sion to block efforts to attach bonus payment or other “extraneous” issues to the Roosevelt tax bill was reached Tuesday by senate Democratic lead- ers. At the same time they agreed to give bonus legislation preferred status at the next session of congress. Expressing hope that this would speed adjournment, Senator Robinson, '|the majority leader, sald many bonus advocates felt a tax bill amendment would not develop the full strength that the proposal might muster if of- fered separately next year. Property Must Pay Earlier, Robert H. Jackson, internal revenue bureau counsel, told a sen- ate committee considering the tax bill that added revenue to go toward balancing the budget and paying the cost of fighting the depression should be contributed by the “propertied class” according to its ability to pay. He declared there had been a “gen- eral conspiracy” among the rich to evade taxes in the past. The senate Democratic chieftains decided that bonus or other riders offered to the tax bill, which was passed Monday by the house, would be tabled. Prior to the leaders’ decision, Sen- ator Thomas (Dem., Okla.) had plan- ned to offer the Patman bonus bill, which the senate refused to pass over President Roosevelt's veto, as a rider. Senator Frazier (Rep., N. D.) also planned to offer his bill to refinance farm mortgages..with @ $3,000,000,000 issue of new currency. Does Not Delay Meeting Senator Thomas later said the Democratic strategy would not inter- fere with his plans for a meeting of house and senate bonus forces Tues- day night to determine whether to offer the proposal as a tax rider, tion “inherit of balance” with ability to pay. He suggested the “trend should be re- versed.” As evidence of a trend toward con- centration of wealth, Jackson testi- fied that only 1,747,740 persons re- ported taxable incomes in 1933, a cline of 3.8 per cent, while those re- porting taxable incomes of $1,000,000 or more increased from 20 to 50.
