BOARD ASKED "
TO FIX PRICES
ON STEEL III: GOODS
Federal Trade Commission to Get
Request From Fleet Cor
p0ration
GOVERNMENT TO TAKE OVER
PLANTS IF NECESSARY

Washington, June 22.-The, federal
trade commission will be asked soon
by President Denman of the Emerg-
ency Fleet corporation to fix a uni
form price for steel and steel pro-
ducts for all Industries in the United
States. sltega
The commission will be asked to
name a fair price, which will afford
the producers fair rr0tlt,s not only
on steel, but on pig iron and other
materials entering into the manufac-
ture of steel. .
The method of procedure will be
for the, committee to suggest to all
iron and steel manufacturers and ore
producers that they unite and name
a price themselves, subject to the
committees approval Should they de-
cline to adopt this course, the govern
'ment has power to commander the
plant.
With the government obtaining its
steel for the proposed fleet Of ocean
going vessels at comparatively low
price, it is feared that unless some
restrictive action be taken, the price
of steel and iron to other industries
will attain unheard of levels within
a short time.
That, it is pointed out might be
brought about by the natural law Of
supply and demand as the govern
ment requirement, when filled, will
leave an Inadequate supply for other
industries.

Absence of Shipping Directions

Recover on Freight
MINNESOTA COURT SETTLES
IMPORTANT CONTROVERSY

St. Paul, Minn., June PA rail-
road is not in duty bound, in the alb
sence of shipping directions, to do
the unreasonable in order to secure
an anticipated rate for the shipper,
the Minnesota supreme court ruled
today in the case of the Comstock
Elevator company against the Great
Northern railroad on an appeal by the
latter.
The suit. was brought to recover
for alleged excess freight charges
paid on 112 cars of grain shipped by
the elevator company from Comstock,
Minn., to Minneapolis, pending the
federal Injunction prohibiting putting
into effect the maximum freight rate
statutes. The Great Northern has
two lines of road out of Moorhead to
Minneapolis, one intrastate, through
Barnesville, and the other interstate,
running through Breckenridge and
for seven miles in North Dakota. No
shipping directions were given and in
conformity. with it's usual practice,
and because of the easier grades, the
company carried all cars save one
over the Breckenridge interstate
route.
The Ramsey county court held that
the. railroad had misrouted the ship
ment and was bound to select the in
trastate route, which, under the law,
took a cheaper rate. This is reversed
on the ground that the intrastate rul-
ing under the conditions governing
would have been unreasonable.

CAPITAL
CASE SINCE '8OS
IN OLD k|ODER
Trial of Cleon Nash Marks End
Of Long Freedom From
Murder Actions
SLAYER LOST BOTH FEET 2
WHILE Kidding FROM LAW
(Tribune Specially

Steele. N: D., June 22.-The trial o1
Cleon NASH which is set for the sum.
'mer term of district court, beginning
July 10, will be the first capital case
in Kidder county since that of Wolf,
in the later 'SO's.
Many features of the Nash case lend
it unusual interest. The defendant is
charged with Staying Clarence Hicks
in the latter's lonely homestead, near
Robinson, last December. Following
the crime Nash wandered for days
over the bleak prairies in the teeth
of bowling gales and with the ther-
mometer at 20 to 40 below freezing.
NO matter in what direction Nash
went he was turned back by fear Of
detection. Finally he gave himself up
to a Kidder county deputy sheriff
whom he encountered in the road near
the scene of his crime.
.,.s Famished and Frozen.
When taken into custody Nash was
almost famished. He had frozen both
feet to the ankles, and the alleged
slayer, who confessed the killing, was
hastened to a hospital in Bismarck.
There it was found necessary to am
putate both feet, and Nash was not
able to leave the hospital until March
%, when he was brought back to
Steele and placed in jail to await
trial.
The motive for Nash's crime seems
to be mystery. He has been a tract.
able prisoner, cheerful and giving no
trouble. While he 'broods over his
deed and over the terrible penalty
which nature has exacted from him
in the loss of his feet, his department
is not that ordinarily associated with
murderer.

Other criminal cases to be tried are

vanced to more than $4,000, within

WOMAN IN CASE
KILLS WIFE Of
HER PARAMOUR

Waukesha, Wis, June 22.-Miss
Grace Lusk, who terminated love tri.
angle yesterday by shooting Mrs. Da
vid Roberts to death and later turn
ing the pistol on herself, was still con-
scious in the hospital today and it
was predicted that she would recover.
Owing to her highly nervous condi-
ton, no attempt was made to question
her closely.
DR.. David Roberts, husband Of the
slain woman, and alleged base Of the
triangle, still professed himself at a
loss to account for the shooting. Am
pie light on the subject, however, is
said to have been shed by large COL
lection of letters written or received
by Miss Lusk. They indicate on their
surface that Miss Lusk resented DR..
Roberts alleged failure to make a
clean breast of the affair to his wife
and break the triangle.
A letter, evidently written by Miss
Lusk to Mrs. Roberts while the former
was in Chicago, was made public to-
day. 1t reads:
Writes Wife.
ut has been desire with me for
long time to tell you frankly of the
state of affairs between DR.. Roberts
and myself. I have asked him to tell
you the whole story, but you seem to
have him terrorized to pitiful degree.
You must have known for many years
that there did not exist between you
and your husband the greatest con-
fidence that is essential in the higher
state of marriage. =
"You must have known for a long
time that your husbands affection has
passed from you, that he cares for
someone else. That is sufficient an
;nulment of any marriage vow that was
ever given.
I'm the eternal triangle our souls
require for their solution the elimin-
alton of one character. The two who
should remain are the two whose af-
fections are mutual. There is no use
in my telling the details of our case.

it has wrecked my life and hurt those
who are dear to me. Will you some
