| Smuggler ¢ a2 = 2 = SCHOOL TEACHER IS INDICTED FOR MANSLAUGHTER Death Car Driver Gets 24 Hours to Plead; Minot Men Ar- H raigned on Usury Counts Jurgens, at Drake, was arraigned Monday be- fore District Judge John C. Lowe, Minot, on a grand jury indictment charging first degree manslaughter arising from an automobile accident Nov. 24 near Surrey in which Mrs. Henry Abrahamson, Logan farm wo- man, was killed. Miss Jurgens was given 24 hours in which to enter a plea. She was released on $2,000 bond. A plea of not guilty was entered by Jourgen Olson, Minot, through Attorney E. R, Sinkler, to four indict- ments charging him with usury. Thomas J. Mangan and J. A. Ross, also of Minot, were given 24 hours in which to enter pleas to usury charges. Copies of a new joint accusation charging Ward County Commission- ers E. A. Donnelly, Kenmare; H. J. Yuly, Burlington, and Bertel Jacob- sen, Minot, with misconduct—the seventh such accusation to be brought against members of the county board —were being made Monday for serv- ice upon them. The accusation and 10 indictments were returned by the grand jury late Saturday before it adjourned until Jan. 17. Levine New York, Dec. 20—(#)—Charles A. Levine, the first transatlantic airplane passenger, was sentenced to two years’ imprisonment and fined $2,500 as a smuggler Monday. The sentence was imposed by Federal Judge Henry W. Goddard on charges of smuggling tungsten powder into the United States, and for conspiracy to smuggle. Levine became internationally known in June, 1927, when he financed Clarence D, Chamber- ln to fly him to a distance record of 3,905 miles nonstop. The flight began in New York June 4 and ended at Kottsbus, Germany, June 6. | Weather Report | {candles and Pine Trees, with their EMPHASIZES DANGER WHICH ACCOMPANIES CHRISTMAS LIGHTING Parents Also Urged to Take Care That Electrical Toys Do Not Start Fires The custom of lighting trees as a part of the celebration of the birth of Christ is of indefinite origin, various countries of the old world having their own traditions extending back many centuries. The Swedish story is that in olden times, mysterious lights shone from the branches of a particular tree dur- ing the Christmas season. The Vik- ings told of three messengers, Faith, Hope and Love, who were sent by the Lord to light a Balsam Fir Tree. The German stories associate the lighting of trees with shining stars as seen through the Evergreen Trees. When candles were developed it was only natural that they be used to simulate the traditional lights, but inflammable branches, made an un- fortunate combination. When the age of electricity brought incandescent lamps to take the place of candles, a great saving of life and property re- sulted. Fires Still Hazard It should be borne in mind, how- ever, says Electrical Inspector J. 8. Ceglowski of Minot, that fires and ac- cidents still occur with the use of elec- tric lighting. He urges all house- holders in Bismarck to follow a few simple rules so that no tragedies will mar the joy of Christmas in this com- RS.

It should be realized, Ceglowski con- tinued, that Christmas tree sets are not of such quality that they will last forever, in fact, some of them appear to be constructed with the expectation that they will be destroyed after use during only one season. In any case, lighting sets should be carefully ex- amined before they are put on the tree. See that the insulation of all wires is intact, and that insulation is not pulled back wheré the wires enter the sockets, so as to expose the cop- per conductors. If such weaknesses are discovered, the set should be dis- carded, See also that when the lamps are screwed into the sockets, no “live” metal is exposed. When lamp bases are too long or sockets too short, metal is left exposed which may make con- tact with tinsel or metal reflectors. Short circuits caused in this way re- sulted in a number of fires through- out the country last year.

The cords on toys, as on all appliances which comply with safety specifications, carry bracelet-like labels wrapped around the cord, indicating such com- pliance. Two or three fires were reported last year as being caused by sparks from electric trains falling into cotton piled around the base of Christmas trees. Electric trains employ transformers to reduce the house voltage and have an excellent record for safety, but, of tracks be imbedded in fluffy cotton.

CHRISTMAS PARTY IS HELD BY LIONS Singing and Distribution of Gifts Mark Meeting; Bro- copp Talks on Peace Members of the Bismarck Lions club held a Christmas party at their luncheon meeting Monday in the Grand Pacific hotel. Al Mayer, as program chairman, introduced Harold Smith to sing “Silent Night” and “O Little Town of Bethlehem,” and later saw to it that Santa Claus visited the club and distributed gifts to the members. Miss Bauer accompanied Smith at the piano. E. B. Klein led the club singing of Christmas music. Capt. Herman Brocopp spoke briefly on the “Keep America Out of War” petition now being circulated by the Veterans of Foreign Wars. They hope to obtain 25,000,000 signatures and thus emphasize to congress the atti- tude of the public on the question of war and peace. The petition stresses the will of the country for peace and, at the same time, the necessity for an adequate national defense program. The club voted to dispense with its regular meeting the week of Jan. 16 and to unite with the Association of Commerce in its annual meeting, scheduled for Jan. 19. Guests at the luncheon were Ed- mund Schatz, Valley City, and A. V. Anderson and D, E.
