SPIT OF ROMANCE “ISSEY TO MARRIAGE Rev. Vater Urges Married Couples to Recapture Days of Their Courtship Only by maintaining the spirit of romance can married couples be hap- py. Rev. Walter A. Vater told a capacity audience at the McCabe Mcthodist Episcopal church Sunday night in the fifth of a serles of ser- mons on marriage. To be successful, Rev. Vater said, marriage must be a continual court- ship, “for when love ceases to grow it begins to die.” He urged married persons to remember birthdays, and to give strict attention to acts of “sweet considerateness” which meant 60 much during engagement days and “those little surprises which are born ‘out of a thoughtful love.” If men and women would be as pleasant and agreeable in their own thomes as they are elsewhere the di- vorce mills would have less business ‘and there would be less unhappiness, he said. Describing children as “the tie that binds,” Rev. Vater asserted that a (deliberately childless home is a ‘tragedy for a normal couple for out- waged nature “cries out for revenge and selfishness always brings its own reward.” Branding unfaithfulness as another ®eason for the breaking up of homes, tthe pastor condemned as a “human Serpent” anyone who would come be- tween a man and his wife and that portion of the “deepest, blackest hell” is the reward of the home breaker, ‘The man or woman who “sells out fan interest in a lovely home,” will ewaken later to find that they have made their bed in hell, he said, for the wages of sin is forever death and fe sure your sins will find you out.” Stopping of Freight Service Protested Hearing on proposals by North Da- kota railroads to eliminate the prac- tice of advancing freight charges to trucking lines where joint service is performed will be held Feb. 26 by the State board of railroad commissioners. The railroads have filed tariffs in- cluding suspension of the practice, but the tariffs were suspended by the board, pending the hearing. The Chamber of Commerce at Minot and the Interstate Transporta- tion company have filed objections to the proposed elimination.

Should the reverse be trus and should anyone, through ill mo- tives of for political gain, have whi pered statements having an ill effe: upon the hail insurance department. then I say, notwithstanding, let us have all of the facts. With this in mind my remarks are as follows: “From time to time certain rumors have reached me as commissioner of insurance that certain irregular trans- actions have taken place, said rumor: intimating that those trarsactions have been wrongful. Wherever these tumors have culminated in specific statements so that any particular file could be obtained, I have made it my business to call for that complete fue, carefully perusing the same and pass- ing judgment thereon, and in all in. stances previous to February 5, 1936, I discovered nothing that was wel founded. Current rumors stated tha: a certain claim filed by one Lars Seg- lum of Barnes county, had been wrongful, and in view of this a care- ful investigation was made by sending Matt Dahl, member of the legislature, j them. THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, MONDAY, FEBRUARY 10, 1y50 the warrant of $150.00. Mr. Myers re- turned the warrants to the same filing clerk from whom he received them, the time elapsing having been very short, and the filing clerk immediately no- ticed that the endorsement of the girl in the office had been erased from the warrant during the time that they had been out of her possession and to the time Mr. Myers returned Saw Signs of Erasure Sho also specifically noticed that there was an indication of erasure, and that ink erasure had been used, being @ chemical commonly used in offices to’erase writings in ink. This ink erasure has a peculiar odor and was distinctly noticed by the filing clerk. She immediately conveyed this in- formation to the accountant, who in turn notified me as Commissioner of Insurance and further stated that there was something about the matter as the girl, whose name had been endorsed on the warrant, was acting very strangely. “These circumstances _ naturally gave cause for suspicion. It was then about 5:00 p. m. on February 5, 1936. About 5:30 p. m. I went to the home| of the clerk in the office whose name was purported to be on the warrant in the sum of $150 as endorsee, and questioned her as to what she knew about the matter. I had another) party with me and before both of us she emphatically denied that she had endorsed any warrant or cashed the same and that she knew nothing whatever, and could give no reason why her name was on that warrant as endorsee. On the same evening, to Barnes county to interview all in- terested parties and to file his report. This investigation was made and ,it has been found that the Lars Seglum claim was legitimate in every partic- ular and within the discretionary power of myself as insurance com- missioner to exercise, and the records| dorsement) had been cashed through will so indicate. “The hail department belongs to the farmers of the state and they are vitally interested in its honest and efficient operation. They are entitled to full knowledge of the real facts and circumstances in connection with its operation. “In justice to Mr. Hopton and Mr. Siljan, in whom I have full faith and confidence and who stand ready to cooperate with me, and, having con- ferred with the attorney general, I have concluded that a full and im- partial investigation should be had. accordingly, I have directed the at- torney general to take immediate ac- tion.” “On February 5, 1936, it came to my attention that certain remarks were afloat as to a claim filed by one Axel Person of Luverne, Steele county, N. D. Mr. Person is the tenant, one Howard Fleming of New York the owner, and one Mr. Chas. Ouradnik, Petersburg, the agent of the owner. The claim in question involved $2340. The record reveals that Mr. Person filed an application for insurance ap- parently in good faith, but the law requests that where a tenant applies for insurance the department must have the consent of the owner before the insurance can become effective. Ouradnik Denies Signature “The file would indicate that at the time of making application for insur- ance by Mr. Person the said applica- tion was accompanied with a sup- posed consent to insure signed by one Mr. Ouradnik as agent of the owner. Sometinie subsequent thereto and pre- vious to the crop having been struck by hail, Mr. Ouradnik wrote the de- partment advising that he had not given consent for Mr. Person to insure the growing crops and that the con- sent to insure submitted had not been signed by him and therefore it was not authorized. This letter from Mr. Ouradnik which has been in our files on the basis of the statements of em- ployees in the hail insurance depart- ment, is not now in the file, indicat- ing that it has through error, been mis-filed or purposely removed there- from by someone. As a result of the aforestated circumstances the appli- cation on the part of Mr. Person was rejected and the file so stamped. Agent Changes His Mind “Bubsequent thereto the growing crops of Mr. Person were damaged by hail and immediately Mr. Ouradnik proceeded to Bismarck carrying along with him a properly signed consent to insure by Mr. Fleming, and desired to change his first statement so that recovery for the damaged crop could be made from the hail insurance de- partment. Mr. Ouradnik’s request was denied as the consent to insure was never changed, the original one still re in the file supposedly signed by Mr. Ouradnik but which he denied, and by verification with his it is apparent beyond all question of adnik is a forgery. This should have completed this file and it should have remained rejected right at this point, but such is not the case. Without the knowledge of myself, as Commission- er of Insurance, this file was subse- quently resurrected and paid, four checks having been issued in the pay- for his share; second, to Mr. Person in the sum of $984.00; third, to Alex Per- son in the sum of $150. | $468.00, Began Probe Feb. 5 “On February 5th I requested that I be furnished this file for perusal, and in examining same I asked one of the |employes to obtain for me the orig- jinal warrants that had been issued that I might verify signatures of the jendorsees thereon. This request had been made to C. J. Myers, assistant ;Manager of the Hail Insurance de- partment. He proceeded immediately and asked one of the filing clerks (a {young girl in the office) to obtain the Warrants. The girl in question obtain- ed the warrants and it appears that she particularly noticed the endorse- ments thereon, for at the time of turning them over to Mr. Myers she noticed as an endorsee the name of a young girl now working in the hail department, which would naturally strike her attention. Mr. Myers de- livered to me only three warrants, failing to deliver the one payable to Mr. Person in the sum of $150.00. Visitors came into my office about this time, detracting my attention from the matter for the moment, and I re- turned the three warrants to Mr. BsseResssseessessssesssssssssessssss | ber the name at that time. i. .00; and fourth, | to William Langer in the sum of! namely, February 5, 1936, I re-ex- amined the file and the warrants and; found that the warrant in the sum of $150 payable to Alex Person and supposedly endorsed by him (though there is reason to question the en- the state treasurer’s office under date of November 18, 1935. Checked Treasurer’s Record “About 7:30 o'clock in the evening I called Mr. Krier, cashier in the state treasurer's office who came to the in-' surance department and I presented him with the warrant and asked if he could remember cashing the same. He found his initial or.mark thereon and promptly said that he had. He remembered cashing the item but could not state that same evening def- initely as to who the party was that had presented it for payment. I al- so asked Mr. Krier to particularly no- tice the odor of the warrant and he concurred in stating that-he could de- tect an odor of ink erasure quite plainly. This was about the hour 7:30 Pp. m. on February 5, 1936, indicating @ recent use of the chemical. | ‘Upon the next morning, February 6, 1936, Mr. Krier came to my office reporting that his memory was more clear on the transaction and that he remembered that the warrant had been presented for payment by some girl whom he had requested to endorse the warrant but he could not remem- Thought Something Wrong “It was then conclusive to me that: there was an attempt to conceal the name of the endorsee, and naturally one would believe for ill motives or in order to hide some wrongful doing. This was about 11:30 a.m, I then called. Attorney General P. O. Sathre, who came to my office at’ once and without telling him what had taken place I immediately called in the girl, whose name had been on the warrant as endorsee, for our questioning. In how Mr. Langer came into the case and why his assignment in the sum of $468 had been recognized. Mr. Myers informed me Mr. Langer had been hired by the claimant to repre- sent him and in order to substantiate his statements he proceeded to the office of William Langer, returning with copies of letters purported to have passed between Mr. Langer and Mr. Person, the claimant. “I stated to Mr. Myers that it seemed to me that the amount Wil- liam Langer had collected was exorb- itant for the amount of ‘service ren- dered, even thouch the claim had been legitimate, and he then informed me that it was in payment, not only for his services in connection with that file. but other legal services previous- ly bee been Lge tine ps Langer Participat “William Langer did not even ap- pear at the insurance office at the capitol. He did not draw a single le- gal document nor furnish anything) to add to the file of the claimant. Ii is apparent that he did not leave his office, and it is alleged by Mr. Person hat the agreement to pay the claim took place in Mr. Langer’s own offic at which time the only parties present were the claimant, Mr. Langer and Mr, Myers. “Mr. Langer did not furnish any kind of proof as to why the claim should be reinstated as evidenced by the file in the office. I do not have paid for his hire, basis of this ular case parent to all fair-minded people that even though the claim had n in order the charge he has placed upon this farmer is unconscionable. The only service (if that is what you can call it) Mr. Langer rendered was in intluencing Mr. Myers to perform an unauthorized and illegal act.” Under the heading of “speculative remarks,” opton appended the fol- lowing: Scents ‘Tipoft’ “As previously stated there is a possibility that if all of the facts were known and submitted in affidavit form the claim would still be in order. There is a possibility that Mr. Langer came in the case as attorney of the claimant in good faith, There is a possibility, in view of the keen desire on the part of Assistant Manager Myers to pay the claim, and in view of the fact that he did not counsel with myself as commissioner of in- surance nor with Mr. Siljan, manager o° the hail insurance department, be- gj esponsibility will not rest upon the of Mr. Langer the exercise of the ut- Most good faith toward one who was ever ready to befriend him. “One would assume that caution would be ex Mr. Langer and Mr. Myers in a of this kind involving a money, namely, $2340, and wi was evident that Mr. benefit in the sum of $618 for prac- tically little or no services to dered. Mr. Myers claims he the $150 over to Mr. Langer. “Mr, Myers, being a young man, before him his entire future. He is a young man with a wife and one young would jeopardize the future of any young man, particularly when he knew that he was dealing with a man | whose trust and political support he received. It is apparent to all rea- sonable persons that the desire to ac- quire had been the motive force, and that no respect had been extended, either to myself as commissioner of insurance, through one of my en- trusted employes, or to the employe himself, and especially to the people of the state of North Dakota through me, their public servant. Myers Bears Responsibility “It is also very probable that legal spoken, though I will ¢ Governor Welford and believe their investigation. In this audit they have my permission and whole-heart- ed support to ferret out all matters shoulders of William Langer, for he can plead innocent of any knowledge that the claim was not in order, plac- ing all the responsibility upon Mr. Myers, the assistant manager of thi hail department, He will no doubt be able to hide in the shadows where the searching light of the law cannot reach him. Those shadows will not stop my opinion or accusations reach- ing him. I accuse him of a moral wrong; Mr. Myers of a legal one; and I make this accusation freely and in- dependent of any other individual or group of individuals. “TI realize the seriousness of this ac- cusation. I realize hundreds of peo- ple in this state have faith in William Langer. It is even possible they will believe him in preference to myself, but independent of that I have a duty of trust to carry out and I shall carry it out even if I am single handed. Points ‘Finger of Scorn’ “William Langer and all of his as- sociates are not too big for me to fore paying the claim as is the custom on all debatable claims, and in view @ rejection notice of his claim trom the office for that is the usual cus- tom; and if he had not received a rejection notice there would be no reason for him hiring an attorney. That would then seem to be a fore- gone conclusion that a rejection no- tice had gone out in a formal manner from the department but there is no copy of such notice now in the file, which is the common practice, in- dicating the probability of it having been removed therefrom by someone. Ouradnik Letter Missing “According to the clerks in the of- fice there was a letter from Mr. Ouradnik -denying that his signature to the consent to insure was genuine. That letter was seen in the file by members in the office. It is not there now, indicating it has been removed therefrom by some unknown party. The name of O. E. Loftus is signed to the loss report as adjuster.’ A Move was made by Mr. Myers to erase this name but another clerk in the office noticed him taking such the presence of Mr. Sathre and Mr. Siljan, manager of. the hail depart-| ment, I. again questioned this girl making an appeal to her to tell all she ate attitude denying any knowledge of all of the circumstances, denying that she had endorsed the warrant, denying that she knew anything about it and seemed to be apparently composed. “Attorney General Sathre ques-| tioned her very carefully, and after continued questioning, her attitude; changed. She then maintained that; she had a faint recollection of having! taken a certain warrant down to the treasurer's office, exchanging it for cash. Attorney General Sathre then presented her the warrant and asked her if that was the one, to which she answered in the affirmative, and said! that she had endorsed it some con- siderable time ago. The warrant in- dicates November 18, 1935, according to the state treasurer's stamp there- on, Gave Money to Myers “Upon questioning her as to what she received in lieu of the warrant) she said she could not remember. In view of this we made a further appeal land finally she admitted having re ceived $150 in cash and started out of the state treasurer's office with! the same in her hand, but returned to the office and asked that she be given a money sack in which to place the money, after which she returned to the insurance department and amet it over to C. J. Myers, the as- manager. “While the attorney general was) present in the office on the same afore stated date, other clerks were called into the office and questioned as to how the claim in question had been handled and from whom they received authority to perform the routine transactions leading up to the payment thereon. They all stated that their instructions had been re- ceived from C. J. Myers and under the direction of a superior they acted in accordance with what they thought was their duty and they presumed the file to be in order. The file was then turned over to the attorney general and at his request Mr. Verret, first assistant attorney general, proceeded at once to the home of Mr. Person in Steele county, N. for the purpose of questioning him and for verifica- tion of the endorsements on the re- spective warrants, and to learn in what manner Mr. Langer had been j hired by him as an attorney to collect the claim, Talked to Myers About It “Upon the same afternoon . Myers came into my office and stated, guess I’m on the spot,’ to which I | Myers for refiling, having overlooked knew and to confine her remarks to|M. the truth, She again took an obstin-|- steps and advised him that it would be wrong to erase the name he had written thereon, following which Mr. Myers put under the name, ‘By C. J. ” Adds ‘General Remarks’ . Under the heading of “general re- marks,” Hopton said: “Up until this time I had no reason other than to admire Mr. C. J. My- ers. He was a very efficient and cap- able employe; he was regular in his attendance to duties and temperate in his habits. I had predicted a bright future for Mr. Myers as he radiates a Pleasant personality, is self-confident and congenial, through all of which he had gained my utmost confidence and respect. I still entertain a kind- ly feeling toward him, for I feel that {he has been merely an instrument and a victim. It apparently was his de- sire to gain the good will of William Langer. It is definite that he went beyond reason to accomplish this aim. It must not be denied, however, that Mr, Myers is a keen and intelligent young man of mature age, approxi- mately 36 years. He is familiar with {business matters and he knows the law and authority vested in the of- ficlals of the department. Believes Signature Erased “It is now conclusive that he erased the name of the girl as an endorsee on the warrant, because the girl who en- dorsed it now states that he did, and that he informed her that he had done it to protect her. Mr. Myers must have known of some wrongful doing with respect to this claim or he would not have attempted to conceal the name of the endorsee. He must have ‘&@ guilty knowledge of the illegal pay- ment of this claim for he immediately Proceeded.to obtain affidavits in sup- Port of its validity. It is apparent. that he was swayed and influenced through William Langer, either with or without knowledge on the part of William Langer. “William Langer is an individual jearned in the law. He must have known that the claim of his client, Mr. Person, had been rejected. ‘He must have known the reason there- for, that is that we did not have con- sent of the owner to insure the grow- ing crop prior to the said crop having: been damaged by hail. “It would be unreasonable to believe that his services were obtained for other than to present the claim of tne claimant to the department on some’ legitimate basis. This was not done either by Mr. Langer or the claimant Himself. The claim now stands as Mr.| Paid on an illegal basis. It seems res- sonable to assume that Mr. Langer must know this. He also knows of his high position and influence iu North Dakota's political life. He al- 80 knew that Mr. Myers was one of his admirers and trusty Heutenants in this political faction. It would, there- point the finger of scorn, and I do it bility of a family and his whole fu- ture before him.
