BELIEVED DOSE OF
SIXTY GRAINS
TAKEN
Shown That Blows Had Nc
Effect and That Drug
Was Cause of Demise

The coroner's inquest into the cause
OF the death Of Ole Kjormoe is being
conducted at the city hall today. From
evidence given 1t has been shown that
the deceased met his death by choral
poisoning rather than from blows.
DIR. W. II. Witherstine Of Grand
Forks. who was the first witness call
ed this morning, stated that at the
postnlortem he had closely examined
was in excellent condition and that
the body was that Of a rugged man.
The wounds OF the head consisted OF
small cuts, n on the front part OF
the head. another above the ear and
another on the lip. None OF these
wounds had extended through the
scalp to the skull and were merely
superficial.
He told Of sending the stomach to
the university where 1t wal examined
by Professor George A. Abbott.
Sixty Grains Administered.
DR.. G. A. Abbott was the second
witness called. He told Of analyzing
the contents Of the stomach and and
ing that 1t contained upwards of thir-
ty grains Of choral hydrate. In re-
spending to a question as to how
much he thought had been admins
SbCos TIC SSatSu NudS IN UellONeO IudS
Kjormoe must. have taken nearly six.
ty grains. AS grounds for this opin.
ion he stated that the drug Is easily
evaporated and that a large percen.
tage Of that taken by the man must
have evaporated between the time
the stomach was removed and the
time the analysis was made. He also
stated that much of 1t must have
been absorbed by the body in general
and that he considered sixty grains
a very conservative estimate when II
was based on the actual finding. of
thirty grains.
DR.. witherstine was called back to
the stand and stated that he did. not
believe that the man had been dead
more than six hours and that from
conditions he believed 1t probable that
Kjormoe had not met his death more
than two or three hours before he
was called to make the examination.
Bartender Testified. I.
". p Smith. bartender in the Har
~ Hutchins saloon, was the third
witness called. He stated that he had
seen no commotion in the rear end
OF the saloon. on the evening before
Kjormoe was found murdered. He
testified that he worked at the saloon
nights and had charge of the rooms
above the place. On election night,
as soon. as the polls we're declared
closed. the saloons Of the city opened.

SOCIETIES PROTEST
AGAINST new
SYSTEM
Urge Debating Board of
Control to Reinstate Old
Plan Of Selection

At a joint meeting of the university
literary societies held Wednesday ev-
ening. the new plan proposed by the
debating board Of control a short time
ago for selecting intercollegiate debat-
ers by the free for all system In place
of the present i~ntersociety debates.
was emphatically voted down and the
debating board of control was asked
to reconsider the action.
That the new plan would eventually
mean the disintegration of the literary
societies and would lessen the grade
and class OF the debates was the con-
census of opinion Of the society men,
bers who spoke at tho meeting.
John A. Taylor. who proposed the
Void. who presided at the meeting. to
outline the plan of the free-for-all
system. He gave three arguments for
the new plan: first. that the Judges
could have an easier time in selecting
winners as they would hear all Of the
men on the n night. and that by
hearing all of the debaters they would
that were especially proficient OH the
question; second. that the free-for-all
debates would tend to help the win
ners. rs h wealth of information de-
rived might be noted on the n ques-
ton instead of on the intersociety
questions: third. that the new system
was more democratic than the inter.
society debates. Mr.. Taylor claiming
that II was common practice of the
judges to apportion honors among the
societies.
Argue Against System.
In complete refutation of his argu-
lnents Theodore Torgeson Of Ad AL
tiora. Harry South of Adelphi. Clyde
Duffy Of A. D. T.. George Shafer Of
Hesperia. brought up arguments
against the system. The key to the
arguments made BY all was that the
decay Of In societies. and finally the
debating ability Of the present literary
workers. The literary society is the
place where dehaters must be devel-
oped and the free-for-all system would
result in debates assuming the nature
of an oratorical contest.
O'Connor Opposed Plan.
Attorney j. F. T. O'Conncr was
called upon to express the views Of
the alumni. and he agreed with the
society speakers. stating that the socie-
ties often tool men of little ability and
arousing a spirit Of loyalty, furnished
an incentive to work and take part
in debates where the intercollegiate
honors would be beyond the reach and
not interesting from a personal point
of view.
He spoke Of the difficulty experience
ed at the colleges where the new plan
is employed in securing judges to lis
ten to a free-for-all where thirty men
participate. He declared that the
standard Of debating developed here
under the present system was on a
par with that of institution in the
country.
The speaker said that whatever eff.
feet the plan might have on the inter.
collegiate teams, it could never de.
velop the general literary ability that
the old system does and he stated
that it were better to turn out nifty
average speakers than a few stars.
The interest aroused by the debate
va very lively and the meeting wac
>oubtless productive Of good in arous-
society interest. It IL probable
Vt joint meetings will be called fire.
