SIOUX FALLS BOGUS MONEY MAKERS ARE LIBERATED ON Former Grand Forks Printer Is One of Three Men Facing . Counterfeiting Charge ‘ges of making Plates for $10 bills were at liberty on bonds Saturday while a third was held in lieu of $10,000 bond as secret service men continued their investi- gation into the case. Hubert M. Awrwick' and 8. M. Johnson, local engravers, were re- leased on $1,500 bond each. Arthur H. Maschka, 47, formerly of Grand Forks, N. D., @ printer accused of ELETYPE BRIEFS“; Akron, O—Six common pleas granted Saturday the petition of the Goodyear Tire é& Rubber Co., for an injunction rest striking em- Ployes from mass picketing of its closed plants. Wilmington, Del.—Pierre 8. Du- pont, denying the government’s claim for $617,316 additional income taxes, charged that the allegations against him seek to force a compromise set- tlement “in ® manner amounting to extortion.” St. Paul—Husband and wife died within nine hours of each other Fri- day night and Saturday. They were bon a Mrs. Robert R.

Maschka was quoted today as de- claring he printed none of the money. John C. Mundt, local attorney, contradicted ‘statements of secret service agents Friday that he had furnished a written opinion that the manufacture of plates for “novelty money” would not be “tegal because there was “no intent to defraud.” ‘The attorney said Maschka con- sulted him as to “whether there was any lability jn printing a rubber novelty that would resemble money in only one respect, possibly as to size; and to be sold as a novelty.” - His opinion to Maschka, Mundt said, clearly stated that any such novelty could not legally be in “the likeness or similitude of any circulat- ing note or obligation of security of any banking association organized or acting under the laws of the United States.” Federal agents said Machka used Mundt’s opinion to persuade the en- ravers to make plates of a $10 bill on which the words “counterfeit” and “don't take me,” had been printed. After the plates were made, the agents charged, the warning words Were chiseled out and serial numbers and other matter substituted. No charges were filed against Mundt in connection with the case. Sige a Bounces Back to Senate Where It Faces Ired Solon purchasing power. Before Dec. 31. 1987, federal grants will go direct to farmers in non-cooperating states. Before the bill passed the house, leaders rallied around Chairman Jones (Dem., Tex.) of the agriculture committee and beat back repeated at- tempts of a “dairy bloc” to make a major change. The defeated amend- ments were an attempt to make sure that none of the 25,000,000 acres to be taken out of commercial crop pro- duction shall be used to increase dairy production. Senator Smith said he would oppose the amendment by Representative McCormick (Dem., Mass.) directing the secretary of agriculture to “pro- tect the consumer” against exorbitant prices by keeping farm production in line with the 1920-1929 average pro- duction. BURDICK CALLS NEW BILL ‘MOST DESPOTIC’ Washington, Feb. 22.—()—The ad- ministration’s farm bill, passed by the house Friday and sent to conference to adjust differences with the senate, was described Saturday by Rep. Bur- dick (Rep., N. D.), the “most despotic and bureaucratic control of millions of people by one man ever brought before es Burdick made the assertion in ex- Plaining his vote against the meas- ure. He was joined in his opposition by his North Dakota colleague in the house, William Lemke. Like the AAA, Burdick said, the new measure provides for a “dole.” “It the farmers of my state are go- ing to be starved to death, we might as well make quick work of it and Minneapolis—Police continued their. search in St. Paul Saturday for Carl F.

New Haven, Conn:—President James Rowland Angell of Yale Saturday termed. it “utterly ridiculous” that teachers in certain states are required to take oaths of loyalty while a “re- cently naturalized foreign priest,” net under a similar obligation, is allowed to broadcast “inflammatory social nonsense,” Jacksonville, Fla. — Coast guard headquarters here advised this after- noon four of the 32 seamen aboard the burning oil tanker Albert Hill were missing, but the fire was under control. Charlotte, N.

THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 22, 1986 SNOWSLIDE IN PASS TRAPS TWO IN AUTO Seattle, Feb, 22—(4)—Two persons were killed and others trapped in a snowslide which buried automobiles on Snoqualmie. pass, Coroner Otto H. Mittelstadt announced Saturday. The dead were asphyxiated by gas fumes. They were caught in the cab of a truck. The bodies were recovered. One other person was missing and one was injured, Mittelstadt said. A message received here by J. R. Jordan, in charge of the state high- way department’s short wave radio tation, said that “buried motorists were still being taken alive” from the snow, Several automobiles and trucks and one passenger bus were reported trapped by the slide, which roared down the steep mountain side near the summit of the pass, in the heart of the Cascades during the night. Hundreds of Seattle skiiers had gone to the summit for the two-day. holiday. . IC ONTINUE from page one: History-Breaking Cold Spell Ended coating of snow had covered the ice and this protected it from the extreme cold as effectively as if it had been @ wool blanket. The fact that the ice in the river is comparatively light will have a tendency to prevent flood trouble, in 1910 the ice was 39 inches thick. As the weather moderated and the state continued the job of digging it- self out of the snowdrifts, stories of privation continued to come in. The mystery of Bowman county's missing girl was cleared up with the announcement by Sheriff A. N. Ham- ilton that she had been found at a neighboring farm. Gone Since Saturday Reports that Beatrice Crow, 17, em- ployed at the farm home of C. £. Wallace in the sparsely settled area 30 miles south of Marmarth, had been missing since Saturday had sent the sheriff on a difficult journey into} that snow-blocked area to investigate. Moderating weather also brought the spectacle of a fire in an icehouse at Mayville. Savdust caught fire but was extinguished without damage. A hysterical woman was brought to Sturgis, S. D., Friday following her harrowing experience in her frontier post store at Cedar Canyon. She was Place, who lived alone for three weeks after the only other resident, J. M Hamilton, 74, had perished in fiames which destroyed his home. The woman said she nearly went mad as she was unable to establish com- munication with the outside world. Aj | Meade county coroner's jury Saturday ‘was to make official inquiry into Ham- ilton’s death. Nation Recovering In the rest of the nation, long be- sieged by unusually cold weather, con- ditions were back to normal as rail and highway communication was be- ing restored everywhere. Workers for the North Dakota high- way department were making prog- tess in opening snow-blocked roads; but only the main routes were open to automobile traffic. In Burleigh county farmers were go- ing by team from their home places to the main highways, hitching their teams to their automobiles in the bad places. . Supplies of cream, eggs and other produce, hampered and delayed i most sections by adverse traffic con- ditions, again were coming to mar- ket The road between Bismarck and Wilton, blocked by mountainous drifts which required two days to clear away, was again open to traffic Saturday and other parts of the state reported that progress was being made in clearing main roads.

From’ then on legal prominence was achieved through his ability as a lawyer and his reputation ‘gained when serving as city attorney of Grand Forks. He rapidly succeeded in holding the offices of state's at- torney and United States attorney, serving in the latter position for four years, 1894 to 1898. Leaves Two Sons, Widow On June 15, 1887, he was married to Miss Jessie L. Caughell, a native of Canada. The widow and two sons survive, Felix F., now a practicing at- torney at Beverly Hills, Calif, and Phillip R., who became associated with his father’s law firm in 1918.

He was an outstanding citi- zen and honored in his profession.” Chief Justice John Burke, Governor Welford and other high officials sent CELESTIAL VISITOR SNUBBED BY EARTH Tiniest Object Ever Discovered by Astronomers Came Close to Old World Cambridge, Mass. Feb. 22—(7)— Earth has just had a celestial visitor— and snubbed it, Harvard astronomers said Saturday. It was a little comet or asteroid (scientists are not quite certain which) only a third of a mile in dia- meter; the tiniest object ever discov- ered by astronomers. And it came possibly within two or three million miles of earth, closer than any other such sky rover, with one or two pos- sible exceptions. Not until the little asteroid or comet was hurrying away did the people of Earth rub their eyes and realize a visitor figuratively had brushed their elbows. It is called the Delporte object, be- cause Dr. E. Delporte of Belgium dis- covered it. That was 10 years ago. Word of the discovery did not reach American astronomers until a week later. Now, ‘astronomers are belatedly training batteries of great telescopes and cameras upon the fleeting object, which is little more than a point of light streaking across the field of stars, fading daily as it files away from. the earth. elk eee eee | City and County | st ©.
