D., Feb. 17.—(#)—Fire which destroyed a house in Harvey owned by Mrs. Grace Phillips of Minot was caused by defective wiring, E. T. Ytraland, Minot, expert electri- cian, testified in trial of Mrs. Phillips’ suit for $5,000 against the Rhode Island Insurance company in federal court Monday. The electrician said the fire center- ed around electric wire splices in the ceiling of one room. Under cross ex- amination, he said he had inspected the house Feb. 2 this year at Mrs. Phillips’ request. Some of the wir- ing had dropped away from the burn- ed area and showed improperly in- ulated slices, he said. Mrs. Phillips, saying her house was one of the first in Harvey to be wir- ed, flatly denied having employed Alex Brown to burn the house, stating she was in Minot on May 4, 1931, the date Brown claimed to have talked with her in Harvey about burning the house. She said she had been in Harvey on April 24, produced a receipt for a car license application signed there on that date, and said she then went to Minot and did not return to Harvey until after the house burned May 8, 1931, PLAYERS’ VEHICLE IS MUGH PRAISED Characters in Play to Be Given Next Sunday Are Describ- ed as Lovable ‘When the Cathedral Players pre- gent Martin Flavin's comedy entitled “Broken Dishes” in the city audj- torium Sunday, Feb. 23, they will in- troduce to theatregoers of the city two of the most lovable characters known in drama, namely, Cyrus Bumpsted and his daughter, Elaine. Cyrus is an example of monumental patience and good nature. In the midst of the continual bickering of his wife and older daughters, his tem- remains unruffled. He is one of Rhose men whose desire for peace and willingness to do good to others has been mistaken for weakness by all except Elaine. The lines of “Broken Dishes” are embellished with bright comedy which makes it a diverting as well as an intensely human production. In his comments on the play di its long run at the Ritz theatre in New York, Smith, of The World, wrote, “Should be seen at all costs as one of the really touching comedies of the sea- son, Ingratiating little play with shrewd, observant touches in incident and dialogue.” Rev. Henry Holleman, director, has selected a capable cast from the ranks of his thespians to handle the roles fn “Broken Dishes.” Heading the cast in the part of Oyrus Bumpsted is Edward Hennessy whose exceptionally fine comedy per- formance was one of the highlights of the Cathedral Players’ fall produc- tion, “Square Crooks.” Miss Marian Curran handles the character lead, and Miss Mary Cayou the ingenue. Both Miss Curran and Miss Cayou fhave appeared in former Cathedral Player productions. Other parts are in the hands of the Misses Elizabeth Enright and Helena @chaefer, Glenn Kennedy, Phillip rer Pai gohn Reibold. who are new to the ranks of the Players, will have their initial per- formances before the city's theatre @evotees in this play. : FAVOR LAND POLICY @pokane, Wash., Feb. 17.—(#)—The Pacific northwest regional planning conference Saturday recommended a “well defined nationwide land policy to bring about the greatest possible suse of the land and water resources @f the United States.” MES.

I met Alice under trying circum- stances, on the rocky top of the Mountain of the Lepers, most ad- vanced fortified Italian position on this battle-ridden front.

She ran right through that. From there she headed for the edge of the mountain top. She turned at the edge, raced com- pletely around the mountain top, which has a 10,000-foot drop.

Gent Roosevelt's plan for a Pan- American conference Monday brought indications of general approval among the interested nations. From Geneva, however,’ came word that although officials of the League ot Nations commended the peace move, there was some anxiety lest Latin-American nations might grow less interested in Geneva. The president asked the nations to meet at Buenos Aires soon “to deter- mine how the maintenance of peace among the American republics may best be safeguarded.” Some circles here thought the con- ference might develop into a Pan- American League of Nations. There was no immediate indication whether such an idea might meet with favor or disfavor among congressional op- ponents of American adherence to the Geneva league.

Officials said they believed the withdrawals were not connected with the recent fights along the Manchu- kuan borders and could not be inter- preted as @ preparation for war. They said that, instead, the Rus- sian action could be regarded as an outcome of the three-year dispute over the desire of the Japan-created empire of Manchukuo to establish consulates at Khabarovsk, Nikols- kussarisk, Verkhneudinsk, and Ir- kutsk, in addition to those established a ‘ac at Blagovest-Chensk and Manchukuo pointed out that the Soviet maintained consulates at Muk- len (closed last week), Tsitsihar, iho, Manchuli, and Pogranichnaya, in addition to Harbin, and demanded an equal number in Russia. Japanese officials applied a partial censorship to Japanese press accounts of the dangerous situation arising from recent sanguinary military clashes on the ill-defined Manchukuo- Outer Mongolia frontier. © The officials ordered the press not to publish concerning the issue except Japanese and Manchu- kuan government communiques. The ban was attributed authorite- tively to an official desire to avoid inflaming public opinion, while series of official conferences were started in Tokyo, in search of means to prevent the border friction from developing into a Russo-Japanese war. NORTHERN PACIFIC T0 BUY 12 LOCOMOTIVES $4,000,000 Equipment Order to Be Placed This Spring, Donnelly Says St. Paul, Feb. 17.—()—A $4,000,000 order, to be placed this spring by the Northern Pacific railway, for twelve 127-foot giant locomotives and 1,000 freight cars was announced Monday by Charles Donnelly, president. Donnelly said the roller-bearing lo- comotives, to operate in the Montana mountain territory between Living- ston, Helena and Missoula, are de- signed to speed up transcontinental freight service. The Northern Pacific will spend an additional $338,000, Donnelly said, to improve tracks, bridges and terminals to permit operation of the new loco- motives.

Householder, grumbling over mounting costs of coal to keep the shivers away from his easy chair, Monday could glean whatever comfort there was in glancing at the state capitol’s coal bill—$45 per day. And while Mr, Householder was poking shovelfuls of coal into # con- stantly-demanding furnace, automa- tic stokers at the capitol have aver- aged 18 tons of coal thrown into the mew of the official furnace. An average of 17 tons of coal each day was burned last month to keep several hundred state and federal employes in the 18-story building and adjoining structures warm, Ed Nel- son, superintendent of the structure, revealed. With each ton averaging in cost $2.50, a total of approximately 3,000 tons of lignite will have been burned FARGO TRUCK DRIVER KILLED AT HALSTAD Truck-Tractor Found Overturn- ed in Ditch With Lincoln Carlson Dead Fargo, N. D., Feb. 17.—(?)—Missing @ turn in the road, Lincoln Carlson, 26, Fargo truck driver, was instantly killed at Halstad, Minn. 40 miles north of Fargo, early Monday when his heavy truck tractor plunged into & ditch, crushing the cab and driver. The overturned tractor with the im- prisoned body was discovered by a passing motorist. It is thought Carl- son’s vision was blinded by windswept snow. Born near Honeyford, N. D., Carl- son was the son of Mr. and Mrs. Carl T. Cfarlson. Besides them he leaves before winter releases his hold, Nel- son estimated. ‘ The capitol fires never go out—even in summer months, flames roar into flues of the high pressure boiler, to provide hot water, and with exception of two months, take the early morn- ing chill off the building, Nelson said. During June and July and a por- tion of August, little coal is burned, the boilers being supplied with heat from tons of waste paper gathered during the year from the numerous Offices. Despite the record cold of this year, only one boiler has been used to heat ‘three buildings on the capitol hill— the 18-story office building, the Me- morial building and the legislative as- sembly rooms in an adjacent wing. Last winter, two boilers were used, but lessons learned in that first win- ter have produced a more efficient use of a single boiler, Nelson said. two brothers, Vernon in Fargo, and Walter on the home farm; four ais- ters, Helen at Honeyford, Mrs, Lyle Lukker, Larimore, and Mrs. Cleve Morrow and Crystal Carlson, King’s Mountain, N.

BROAD NEUTRALITY THEY GRY IN HOUSE Senate Experts to Debate New Legislation Quickly, Maybe Starting Tuesday Washington, Feb. 17.—(?)—While advocates of broader neutrality legis- lation cried that they were being “gagged,” Democratic leaders sought to push through the house Monday | an anti-war bill shorn of several con- troversial features. Chairman Mc Reynolds (Dem. Tenn.) of the foreign affairs commit- tee planned a move to suspend the Tules, a strategy which would shut off debate after 20 minutes to a side and ban any amendments. The measure provides that the present temporary neutrality law, call- ing for mandatory embargoes on war implements for belligerents, be ex- tended until May 1, 1937. The law otherwise would expire Feb. 29, 1936. The new bill also declares that loans and credits to belligerents shall be limited to amounts required for normal peace time commercial transactions. The measure would be inapplicable to any Latin-American nation at war with a non-American country. Before the house opened debate, Rep. Maverick (Dem., Tex.) charged that a “gag of the worst type" was be- ing attempted. The senate expected to debate the new neutrality legislation. quickly— Perhaps Tuesday. ‘Thirteen senators, headed by Chair- man Nye: (Rep., N. D.) of the muni- tions committee, propose to extend the present law only 60 days so congress would be forced to consider the whole problem again this session.
