EPILEPTIC FITS
CAUSED INSANITY
CASE OF IVER SkARI, "CEME.
Terry INSPECTOR" TO BE SENT
TO STATE BOARD.

Grand Forks, N. D., Aug. 14.-Judge
L. K. Hassell of the probate court
and a member of the insanity COM
nittee, will forward today to the state
board of control, information gathered
in several conversations with lver A.
Skari, the man who declares that he
was sent by the Canadian government
to make an inspection of the ceme-
teries of the United States and who
has been held at the county Jail pend
ing an examination as to his sanity.
Judge Hassell had long talk with
Skari last night. The mans mind is
clearer now than at any time since
his arrest and he told the judge that
he was subject to epileptic fits and
that he had had some trouble BEFORE
though he stated that he had never
been in custody. Skari has been on
homestead near Vassar, Man, for
over two years, having papers in his
possession showing that he filed on
the land in 1911. He was there un-
til a month ago, when he started on
his inspection" trip.
All information concerning the un
fortunate man will be sent to the
state board of control by Judge Has
sell and it is likely that they will
take up the matter of his disposition
with the Canadian authorities. He be-
ing a homesteader in Manitoba would
make him a resident of that country.
The examination of Skari has been
postponed, because the Jamestown
asylum is filled and will not accept
any new patients. The state or the
county do not think that it is their
place to send Skari to a North Da-
kota institution and pay his charges,
as he is not resident of this state.
Judge Hassell stated last evening
that the man would talk nationally on
nearly any subject, but that when he
was broached on the subject of "his
inspection of the cemeteries" he would
declare that he had been sent into
the states by the Canadian govern
ment and that he could not return
until he had completed his work
Skari stated that he nad been sub
ject to epileptic fits since he was Il
boy and that as he grew older, they
came ofteber and were more violent.

Slang CRITICISED
ALSO DEFENDED

Chicago, Aug. IA. Slang found
enemies as we'll as defenders yester-
day at the University of Chicago
where the professors continued their
discussion Of baseball diction in the
contest of Slang VS.. English. Prof.
Theodore L. Neff of the department
Of Romance languages and literature
took exception to the statement Of
faculty members who regarded
mangled English one of the consola-
tions of life, characterizing slang as
wicked from the language stand
point"
Il think slang is a very bad thing
ven in baseball writing said Professor
Neff. THE young people have enough
trouble in making themselves clear.
We have candidates for the doctors
degree here at the university who
don't know enough about English to
present their material in respectable
form. Slang is partly to blame for
this.
The educated young German or
Frenchman uses his language with
good effect and correctly. The young
American finds it impossible to use his
mother tongue with any degree of eff
fectiveness. Slang which is a tenden-
cy Of the times contributes to this
condition.
THE best Of slang lives, becomes a
permanent part of the language and is
eventually taken over into literature.
Our young pople might just as we'll be
using good English as learning stuff
tRat will not live. I like to read the
sporting page, but don't like the
slangy articles.
The average young man cares more
for the sporting page than for any
other part Of the paper: He turns to
that first The result is plain. If you
limit the food a man eats it deter
mines whether or not he will have a
healthy body. The same rule applies
to reading. Our young people, so many
of whom cannot talk decently, will
or writing If slang is not curtailed."
AS at the University Of Chicago, so
at Northwestern university, professors
failed to agree on what kind of style
should be used in baseball With the
exception of Prof. J. A. James, head
of the department of history, slang at
least was. condoned, even If not rec
commended. The majority could see no
harm in the use of little.
Il am in favor of plain English
said Prof. J. A. James, head Of the
history department. II am not ur
on slang expressions and haven't time
| to figure out what they mean. The
makers of baseball language have pro-
gressed so fast that an ordinary per.
son cannot keep up, and it is impos-
sible to translate it all. 1t seems tc
I me that the sporting page should rur
| a pony" alongside of the sporting
column. Newspapers are a means OF
education to a great many people, anG
| the baseball articles as they have ap.
peared lately, have been a great ster
toward degeneration rather than edu-
cation."
That slang should be used as a sea.
soning, is the argument put forth by
Slason Thompson, for many years wei
koWn in the newspaper field. Mr.
Thompson says: ny
! "Oyer-use Of slang is generally the
device Of incompetence to conceal ig,
| norance Of both baseball and English
Slang should be used like paprika, fol
lseasoning."

EDITOR near
''FIRED'' FROM
ICONOCLASI

Minot, N. D., Aug. 14--J, M. Near,
editor of The Iconoc1ast, the socialist
newspaper, for the past sixteen month
newspaper, of the past sixteen
months, did not resign his position on
the paper as the report being circulat-
ed around the city has it, but was fore
ed to cut his connection with the pub
l1cation because he was not conserva-
tive enough, according to an interview
with Mr.. Near this afternoon.
i did not resign; was fired" de-
clared Mr.. Near.
A meeting Of the socialists was held
at state headquarters in .Minot Sun
day afternoon and Editor Near was
told that The Iconoclast could not con-
t1nue to be success under his radi-
cal policy.
Mr.. Near said today that he is a
socialist, but would not bind himself to
the party or owners of the paper if
he could find a better way to advance
the interests of the working class.
Editor Near sided strongly with the
I.3W. WIS and this is believed to have
something to do with the action Of the
socialists. ,
Near states that he is not out of the
newspaper game by any means, how
ever. He declares that he will start
up bipartisan newspaper tomor-
row which will be called The Rebel
which will be edited strictly in the in
terests of the working class.
Near appeared greatly incensed over
the action of his employers in forcing
him to quit. He said that he would
not be tied down by any political par
ty or clique of men.
The action of LeSueur and Commits
sioner Dorman in staying in Jail when
they had an opportunity of getting
out on bail he dubbed "grandstand
play"

BANK CALL CAME
MONTH EARLY
MOoRHEAD BANKERS OF OPINION
THAT COMPTROLLER WANTED
FIGURES UNDER NORMAL CON-
DITIoNs AND MADE THE CALL
EARLIER.

1t is the theory of local bankers that
the. comptroller of the currency was
desirous of becoming possessed Of in
formation showing normal conditions
rather than inflated conditions likely
to be caused by the movement of the
returns from the crops and that is
the reason for the late summer state
ment being called one month earlier

rule it is expected that there will be
shown a falling off in deposit lines in
