j y CONFESSED RUSSIAN CONSPIRATORS ARE SENTENCED 10 DIE Death by Firing Squad Is Pen- alty for Plotting Against Stalin Moscow, Aug. 24.—()-—Sixteen con- fessed conspirators against the Soviet state were sentenced Monday to death by firing squads as the “highest meas- ure of social defense” of the govern- ment. For the first time since the Bol- sheviks came into power, they order- ed the death penalty for leaders who { marched in the October revolution 19 years ago. The verdict handed down at dawn by a military collegium of the su- preme court was expected to have widespread domestic and international reactions. The prisoners were declared guilty of Having plotted with the exiled Leon ‘Trotzky, war minister of early revolu- tion days, to assassinate Dictator Joseph Stalin and others high in the government and Communist party. They were convicted also of having brought about the assassination of Sergei Kiroff, chief aide to Stalin, at Leningard late in 1934 or of bringing into Russia instructions allegedly from Trotzky for carrying out the terror- ist plot. Trotzky from his Norwegian haven denied connection with-the plot, but the prisoners admitted guilt and some named Trotzky as a colleague. The prisoners were in a state of col- lapse as Chief Judge V. V. Ulrich read the ten-minute long verdict in sharp Staccato sentences and condemned them to death. Several of them, in- cluding the once powerful Gregory Zinovieff and Leon Kameneff, had admitted they “deserved” the death sentence. The Soviets thus sought to avenge anew the 20-month-old slaying of Kiroff. Between 100 and 200 persons elready have paid with their lives for that crime.

State’s Annual Beer Outlay Is 8 Million North Dakota’s annual beer. bill is more than $8,299,000, according to spare. moment penciling by George Moris, head of the state regulatory department. Moris made the estimate on the basis of beer consumed for the year ending last March, which he said amounted to 9.38 gallons per capita, and then pointed out that beer revenue for the month of July had shown a “tremendous” increase. A report of the state beer de- partment, which comes under Moris’ supervision, showed a total revenue of $90,135.43 had been re- ceived during July compared with ve ata for the same month in He couldn’t explain why beer éales had moved to such heights, but the fact set him figuring “just how much money is spent in year for the beverage?” ‘QUEEN MARY” SETS RECORD IN GROSSING British Merchant Ship Ship Steams Figuring a gallon of beer at 128 ounces and ten-ounce glasses at ten cents each, one gallon would cost the consumer $1.30, Moris said. Applying this to the 9.38 gallons each person is supposed to have consumed during the year March, 1935, to March, 1936, he found that an average of $12.19 went for this purpose. This multiplied by the state's 680,845 population gave the total figure of $8,299,500 spent for beer in that one year, he concluded. Returning to beer taxes, Moris said that since the sale of 3.2 beer became legal in North Dakota on October 23, 1933, a net revenue of $1,387,572.50 in taxes has been collected, over and above expenses. Of this amount $880,000 has been, diverted to the real estate bond interest fund anda balance of $507,000 is available for the same purpose, he explained. |Marks Pleads Guilty; Given Life Sentence Shawano, Wis.
