The judge said that he made no finding when the boy came before him in Bronx Children’s court last June “because I was unable to make a finding. I had to know the boy. , . His background, .. . His environ- ment. . . . His reactions, I had to fathom his soul, delve into his spirit.” The boy’s four book reviews—of Sir Thomas Moore’s “Utopia,” Charles Reade’s “It’s Never Too Late to Mend,” George Eliot’s “Adam Bede,” and Mark Twain’s “A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court” — prompted the judge's observation that assignment of books to juvenile de- linquents served not only to reveal character but also to mold it. The youth, after a Henig talk with the judge, left smiling with “Looking Backward” by Edward Bell- amy and Paul de Kruif's “Microbe: Hunters,” volunteering two more un- solicited reviews, Conservation Unit Is Under Civil Service: Kress | North Dakota's technical staff of the; soil conservation service has been placed under civil service, A.

Airplanes have been forced to turn! back by snowstorms and ships have been unable to cut a path through the | ice, |for their hides; But one man smiles in reminiscence as the clapper strikes against the bell for to Capt. Isaac P. Baker it brings ® message of history, bearing a tale of river romance, of a river packet foundered and sunk, and of a life bound by the ties of Ol’ Man River. The bell swings on in the belfry of the Methodist Episcopal church here. Once it rang across the waters of the (Missouri river. As it swings the mem- ories of a half-century flood the mind of Captain Baker. Is Pioneer Dakotan Captain Baker, adventurer in, the hustling pioneer days of North Da- kota, has been steamboat operator, Politician, banker, and Indian chief- tan. This erect, bright-eyed man who's pushed four score years aside, is still the thing his blood demands—a river man. The answer is easy—his father and grandfather were river men. Long before Cap’n Isaac first re- membered day's light in Weston, Mo, his father was making the first trip by steamboat up the Kansas river. Before that, his grandfather and his brothers navigated flatboats down the Ohio river to New Orleans, before the advent of steamboats. The bell, evoker of memories, once rang from the pilothouse of the steamer Red Cloud, captained by John William, and operated by the Benton Packet company. Salvaged Bell The vessel sank in the Missouri river, but Captain Baker, owner of ithe craft salvaged the bell and pre- sented it to the church. Captain Baker came to North Da- kota in 1879. He liked it so well, he came back in 1882 and made Bismarck his permanent home. He had been associated with his father, Capt. John F. Baker, in the operation of a steam- jboat line on the Mississippi river. The boats, with Bismarck as a main Port, operated into the western coun- try on the Yellowstone and upper | Missouri, and bore raw material to the south, down the Missouri and Mississippi. Buffalo hides, stripped from the great animals by plainsmen, composed the majority of cargo coming from the western land, to be later shipped by train. Loaded Like Cotton Bales “Ono would scarcely believe it,’ Captain Baker recalls, “but 250,000 buffalo hides were carried into Bis- \marck by the boats. The hides were| loaded like cotton bales in the south; piled from main deck to the roof. The only part of the boats visible were pilot house, spars and derricks “Buffalo hunters killed the animals bohes were after- plead alee pioerras arpaa tere eusaen the ee Year. , Bottles Gingerale, Sparkling Water, Club of Dec. 27 to Jan. 3 Assorted ; Dried Fruits 19 Ib. box | fey / U ~ 5 Lime Rickey, Prices below are good for week $139 your good health and good cheer ‘esure he entice lazy may bespurchwed at your IGA Store ut extravagance.

Louis or oth- er points: to be manufactured into fertilizer for cotton fields in the south.” Captain Baker saw the river traffic, once booming along the Missouri river, dwindle with the passing years, until the passage of a vessel in the western country became a rarity. Speeding trains and fast trucks took the life-blood from the boats and ro- mance from the river, Captain Baker claims, Navigation of the upper Missouri river opened for settlement and de- velopment the British northwest ter- ritory; made possible the establish- ment of civilization’s outposts in a land then lonely and terrible from Indian ravages. Adopted By Sioux Years after he had come to North Dakota, Captain Baker was made an Indin chief, dopted into the Cannon- ball tribe of Indians, and given the name of “Mato Wanutu” — “High Bear.” He turned in later year to politics, and in 1896 was national commitee- man of the Democratic party from North Dakota. In 1917, he was ap- |Pointed federal fuel administrator for the state, and only recently retired from his position as a member of the board of directors of the Nationai ‘Rivers and Harbors congress, with which he had been identified since 1907. During the famous Deb's railroad strike, Captain Baker, through quick wit and the use of the steamer “F Y. Fatchelor” saved the lives of a deputy United States marshal and 16 other deputies, threatened with drowning by an infuriated mob. The chief deputy called Captain Baker. told him the mob intended: to tun him and his deputies into the |river at Mendan and drown them. Armed With Rifles Capiain Baker sent the boat across the river, directed the deck crew to arm themselves with rifles, and pro- tect the marshal and his men as they marched aboard. The trick worked. The men were saved. lremoval fight which saw the capitol established at Bismarck. He was a colonel on the staff of North Dakota's territorial governor, Gilbert A. Pierce. The old Bismarck National bank was the first in the city. It later be- |came the property of Andrew Mellon ‘and his brothers, then in turn had | been owned by T. C. Power and Cap- tain Baker. Captain Baker was born at Weston, Mo., July 20, 1855. He married Julia Franklin Barnes of Bismarck, Jan. 10, j188@. Their family includes four {and two daughters, Julia Franklin and Anne. Irate Editors Refuse | $2.50 Christmas Gift New York, Dec, 27.—()—There were three vacancies Friday on the editorial staff of E. P. Dutton & Co., publishers, after the editor-in-chief and two asso- ciates resigned rather than accept a $2.50 Christmas present. “We declined the gift because it was an insult,” Merton 8. Yewdale, editor- in-chief, declared Thursday, speaking for himself and his associates, Samuel Middlebrook and Louise T. Nicholl. | Yewdale said he and the others had accepted previous Christmas gifts of $10 but returned with thanks the $2.50 an identical present for all em- ployes—as “incompatible with our po- sitions as editors.” John MacRae, president of the pub- lishing house, summoned the editors, Yewdale said, and told them to accept the gifts—as he had done—or he would accept their resignatio:.s. The irate editor said the group re- signed at once, in a body. Congressional Probe Of Crime Is Planned Washington, Dec. 27—(#)—Prompted by the Lindberghs’ departure from the country, Senator Pope (Dem., Ia) an- nounced Friday he would ask a con- Sressional investigation of crime in the hope of making America a safer place in which to live. Col. and Mrs. Charles A. Lindbergh and their son Jon are en route abroad, fleeing, some say, from threats against the safety of the child. Negro Pleads Guilty To Automobile Theft Jimmy Swanson, Negro transient, pleaded guilty to a charge of grand larceny here Thursday before District Judge Fred Jansonius.

This was announced Friday as com- mittee members laid plans for hear- ings on which they will base their drive for broader neutrality legislation. At the same time, committee in- vestigation made public a memoran- dum by two members of the commit- | tee, Clark (Dem., Mo.) and Nye (Rep.,/| N. D.), reviewing the part played by! wartime secretary of state Robert) Lansing in advocating that the gov-' ernment permit the allies to borrow | money in this country for continued | war purchases before the United| States entered the conflict. Repeatedly Nye and other commit- tee members have said such loans helped swerve this country from its neutrality path. It is argued that, after | the loans were made, the United States | had a vested interest in the allied cause, Morgan and Company, fiscal agent | for England during the war, has em- ' phatically denied it played any part in inducing the United States to enter | the conflict. The memorandum was made public by Stephen Raushenbush, chief inves- tigator. Chairman Nye asserted he and other members would again press for bans against loans to any belliger- ents, One of the most delicate points in stratosphere ‘ballooning is balancing the lifting power against the ballast Twenty-seven persons were united into one family at Omaha, Neb., when Cari Kiudt, 54, 0’ Omaha, father of 13 children, and Mrs. Kathryn M.
