Critieises Or. SchuItze.

As TO the cause OF death in my case,
there was but one witness, Or. otto II.
SChultze. He testified at the hearing that
the deceased was strangled TO death; that
there was no evidence of violence, either
CutaneOus or subcutaneous external or
beneath tho skim, but that he found the
organs OF the throat (back part or
the tongue, epiglottis, larynX, pharynNl
pressed together in r way that caused
him TO conclude that strangulation was
the cause OF death: because, as he SAID,
there was no way in which these organs
could have been placed in such position
as he found at the autopsy except by the
application Of external force and violence
on the throat.
am informed by eminent medical au-
thorities that this statement is ride
ulous. Moreover, IL must appear TO any
both before and after death in which
normal position and become compressed
together. Furthermore, the testimony
of eye-witnesses 10 the upsetting OF the
boat in which the deceased and | were
rowing, when we were precipitated into
the water at Greenwood Lake. shows
plainly enough that there was no
struggle between the deceased and my
self, no choking. no application OF vlO-
lence on the person OF the deceased by
me at that time or preceding that time.
1t would follow, therefore, that II the
deceased were choked to death, the Chok-
ing must have occurred under the sur
face of the water, at a time when both
she and were struggling or would
naturally be supposed 10 have been
struggling, TO save our lives

LOCAL OEBA1ERS

the commercial department of the
local school coached the East Grand
Forks debaters. while Miss Bertha
|Newlander acted in the same capacity
for ths visitors.
The judges We're: DR.. c. e. Coles,
J. r. johnson and Mrs. F. c. Massee.
Superintendent H. E. Wolfe presided.
A very small crowd attended.
The locals put up a good debate.
but fell short of the mark set by
Grafton. The latter team was an ex-
c~eptionally strong one, and the three
pu up a hard fight for the North Da-
kota debate championship.
Arguments Put Forth.
In bhalf of the affirmative side Of
the question, the locals argued that
government regulations Of express
companies had failed, tina. they were
owned by the railroads or by each
other, that they were not giving good
service and that the charges were ex-
cessive. 1t was argued that the gov
ernr ept can operate a parcel post ex-
press efficiently under the present
law, that the law is adequate and
practical and has the advantage Of
government ownership. The third
point which was made was that the
plan would not injure small COM
munities. This argument was based
on the fact that similar laws had not
wrought injury, that the best authori-
ties say that 1t will not and that sim
liar laws in Europe have not been in
furious.
In behalf Of the negative it was
argued that the demand for the meas
ure was artificial, that it involved
government ownership of public util-
tiles. the entering wedge of socialism.
1t was claimed that the system could
not be made self supporting without
charging as much or more than the
express companies charge, this be-
cause the express companies have
their equipment while the government
has not Another argument made
was that the plan would actually ben
eft the express companies because
tne government rates were higher Tor
short haul rates. which is the most
profitable part of the companies bust
ness. One Of the strong arguments
put forth was that the plan would
impoverish rural sections. that It
would take trade away from the retail
merchants, draw people to the large
centers and take away from the farm
ers the advantages of nearness to
markets, schools and social centers.
1t was declared that the plan would
minister to the convenience of only a
small part of the population, that
there is no reliable precedent for the
plan and that the true remedy lies in
the strengthening Of the interstate
commerce commission and the corpo-
ration tax.
