in Penitentiary
CHARGED WITH HAVING CAUSED
Death OF GINA LIEN OF UNION
Is Second Conviction on the Charge,
the Case Having Been Appealed to
the Supreme Court and Sent Back
to the District Court.

Minot. N. D., Feb. 4.-The jury in
the case Of the state against DR.. Thor
Moeller, who has been on trial in
the district court for several days,
charged with having caused the death
of Gina Lien of Union, Cavalier coun-
ty, brought in verdict of guilty of
murder in the second degree at 8
o'clock this morning. y
The jury recommended the mini
mum penalty which is ten years in
the state penitentiary. A stay of
execution for ten days was granted
in which q motion for a new trial
will be made, and If refused, an ap-
peal will be taken to the supreme
court.
Miss Lien died in hotel in Minot
after having undergone a criminal
operation. She died alone after hav-
ing been visited by the accused in
the evening before her body was
found the next morning. DR.. Moeller
contended that the operation which
caused her death had been performed
before he was called and that he on
ly treated her for the resultant COM
plication.
He was tried on the same charge
once before and was found guilty, the
court imposing ten year sentence.
The case was appealed and reversed
and sent back to the district court
for new trial, which resulted in the
verdict of guilty today.

Interesting Information on the
Weak Links in Financial.

Washington, Feb. 4.-Moneyapanics
In the United States are most, likely
to occur during the stringent money
markets of the "spring revival" or
the crop-moving season in the fall.
This is one of the conclusions drawn
from an investigation by Edwin. Wal
ter Kemmerer, professor of econom-
les and finance at Cornell university.
Prof. Kemmerer does not mean to
declare that the seasonal stringencies
are the cause of the panics, but that
the months in which they occur are
the weakest links in the seasonal
chain, and that in periods of extra.
ordinary tension the chain breaks at
those links
Statistics Of great value to the stu
dent Of monetary problems are made
available in a volume written by
Prof. Kemmerer, just published by
the national monetary commission,
entitled, Seasonal Variations in the
Relative Demand for Money and Cap
ital In the United States" 1t 10 a

merer has gone beyond the range of

light upon the regularity and the ex-

on the degree to which our currency
aEI credit system responds to them,
and Snally to show some Of their
probable results upon more general
economic coaditions as exemplified in
such phenowena as security prices,
commercial failures. and panics." The
study is based upon the nineteen
year period, 1S90-190S, SO far as data
for this period is available. The ma
terial for the large number Of tables
found in the volume was, in part,
secured by the commission directly
from the clearinghouse associations,
from individual bankers, and from
public officials. It was also, in part.
compiled from government reports
and financial journals.

make lumber but not logs free. The

that is given the wood pulp manu-

made free by treaty. North Of Min

The author puts the beginning Of
the second period at about the mid

for money advancing rapidly to q
high level and maintaining it through

was very definite indeed that the at

Official notice of the intended at
tack reached the American consul
last night. In this notice Orozco said
he would attack within twenty-four
hours.
Couriers from his camp about ten
miles from Juarez this morning said
he expected first to reconnoiter the
town before striking, and that he was
awaiting reinforcements. Juarez, too,
was looking for reinforcements for
the federal garrison, but the revolu-
tionists said none might be looked for
from the south where Col. Robago and
his shattered command were.
/. Orozco declared that he intended
making Juarez the capital of Mexico
and rallying all his followers there,
start on a march south against Chi

"Diaz is frightened. There is no

Madero. "The revolution has reached
such proportions that he is already
making preparations for his depar-

Cadena street in the capital and plac-
ed soldiers on the roofs. He is in
heart of Mexico City. .
Health Is Undermined.
ut is quite possible that Diaz will
not live long enough to get: away
from the republic. He is a very old
man, and his health is poor. We
have certain information that he is
now keeping up with the aid of in
jections Of strychnia. When man
Of 81. years is forced to use such
stimulants he cannot be counted up
on to last long.
Should he live to go to Europe,
however, he will never be in want.
The information which we have fixes
his private fortune at about $25,000.-
900 gold. A large amount of this is
invested in European countries, and
much Of it is deposited in English and
continental banks. He would not
starve. you may depend on that.
mot so very long ago Gen. Diaz
made a statement that, II the revolu-
tionary forces ever reached a
strength Of 5000 men, he would take

figures, which have been complied
very carefully, we have total Of 49,
