Kinney in circuit court Monday and then, fired two shots at Judge John Prystalski, presiding. The Judge ducked behind his bench and escaped injury. The pistol wielding attorney, identi- fied as John W.

The poet, who observed his 70th birthday anniversary just two weeks ago Monday, was stricken in a suite of Brown's hotel and in a semi-conscious condition, was taken in an ambulance to the Central Middlesex hospital. The first hospital announcement said “an urgent operation was per- formed.” The noon bulletin said the patient was “doing about as well as could be: expected.” af couse Tm He arrived at the hospital at 2 a. m. central standard time and his con- dition was so critical that an emer- gency operation was decided on.

Martin, 82, known for years as the “warhorse of the North Dakota senate,” died Saturday night at the home of his daughters, Miss Ora L. Martin and Mrs. Eva Hibbs. Martin was a pioneer contractor in North Dakota and built some of that state’s first roads. He served in his state legislature from 1907 until 1934. The body will be taken to Mandan, N. D,, for burial. Long the most colorful figure in the North Dakota legislative assembly, Bill Martin was a pioneer who watched the development of the state and as- sisted in it. Insisted on Bill’ To everyone he was “Bill.” He pre- ferred the homely diminutive of his given name and at times was known to insist upon it. His was the wild, free spirit of the pioneer and he boasted that he was always his “own man” and would go his own way “come hell or high water.” Martin attracted probably the most. attention while serving in the legis- lature by introducing a resolution in the 1933 legislation “recommending” 39 states secede from the union. He stated his action was a “protest” against the “financial east,” and tar- ifs, and asserted drastic measures were needed to “wake up the people.” A great raconteur and a pleasant companion, Bill Martin was also a fighter of parts and many members of the legislature felt his steel in de- bate during his long service. Withal he made few enemies among his legis- lative associates, even those whom he opposed speaking of him in affection- ate terms. One of his greatest legislative fights, and a losing one, was his ef- fort to reduce the cost of burials to the people of North Dakota. Of an mperishable breed. himself, death's main terrror for him was the though} of an expensive funeral. He conceived the idea that burials cost too much and proposed that the state make caskets and coffins at the state peni- (Continued on Page Two) Bill Martin, Slope Rancher, Is Dead MUST BE RETURNED TOU.S. TAXPAYERS Tribunal Refuses to Pass on Validity of Bankhead Cotton Act NO RULING BROUGHT ON TVA New AAA Act Did Not ‘Cure In- firmities of Original,’ Court Holds Washington, Jan. 13.—(?)—The su- preme court ruled Monday that $200,- 000,000 of processing taxes impound- ed by the courts must be returned to the taxpayers, refused to pass on the validity of the Bankhead cotton act at this tinie and adjourned without ruling on the constitutionality of the Tennessee Valley authority act. The tax decision did not go into whether processors had to prove they had not passed the tax on to consum- ers before they could recover, a main point at issue. It was handed down in the case brought by Louisiana rice millers, The result had no immediate bear- ing on the prospects for suits by pro- cessors to recover the $1,200,000,000 taxes already collected under the de- funct AAA, This question remains to be fought out in the lower courts.

Governor Hoffman, who once visit- ed Hauptmann in the death cell and who has said he does,not believe Hauptmann’s execution will solve the Lindbergh case, was asked in New York Sunday if he intended to halt the execution, set for 8 p. m., Friday. “I don’t yet know what I am going to do about it,” he said. .

A poll of agricultural representa- tives from virtually all sections of the country revealed arrangements to maintain congressional contacts on a larger scale than ever before.
