FOOD CONTROL MEASURE IS LAUNCHED
Guilty
Of Murder In
Third Degree
(By United Press)


Minneapolis, June 16.-Frank J..
McCool was found guilty today of
murder of Patrolman Connery. The
verdict was murder in the third de-
gree.
McCool himself was the last wit
ness called in the case. The defense
rested with his testimony and the
state neither cross-examined the de-
fendant nor called any witnesses to
rebut the testimony offered by Nc
Cool and Joe Redenbaugh, his asso-
ciate and confessed slayer.
Few Questions Asked.
Only few more questions on di-
rect examination were asked McCool
when the trial resumed yesterday
morning. He stated that he had
been careful to rip the wounded pat
rolman's trousers on the seam, when
he attempted to bandage the wound,
so that he might use them again.
Il had no idea," he said," that Con-
merry would die. I knew man with
a wife and five children had little
money with which to buy new
clothes"
The case went to the jury last eve
ming.

Success of Opening Night;
Observation-Disclosures

Another large audience greeted the
Red Cross Lady minstrels at the
Grand last evening and, as on the
previous night, the big audience
thoroughly enjoyed the performance.
Some slight changes were made in
the "gags'' sprung by the lend men"
but otherwise the same performance
of the night before was presented
and in the same capable manner.
The Red Cross minstrels was no.
table for many innovations and much
hitherto unknown talent in stage
entertainment was uncovered. Mrs.
M. Brown in a song and dance has
received considerable comment for
her part Besides possessing an ex-
cellent voice, which was we'll known,
few Bemidji people were aware of
her abilities as a soft shoe dancer
and ability to ''sift sand" is rare
accomplishment in social circles in
Bemidji.
Mrs. Clyde Parker of Brainerd was
another who gave song and fancy
dance in an easy grace which was
we'll received, and Miss Vera Demp-
sey in a fancy dance added another
foot number. Miss Jane Hayner al
so introduced several impromptu
steps to her song number. Olive
Whaley was another dancer "uncov-
ered."
Vocal ability was plentiful and
the work of the ends made a decided
hit.

SIX POUND BASS IS
LANDED AT lTASCA
BY MANAGER BYER

Earl H. Byer, manager of Douglas
Lodge at Itasca State Park, was for
merly of the executive staff of the
St. Francis hotel at St. Paul, and
until he was asked to become the
manager Of Douglas lodge had never
been in northern Minnesota nor knew
anything of Douglas lodge. How
ever, he accepted the offer after due
consideration and since the opening
of the park for this season has been
exceedingly busy preparing for the
summer.
Yesterday the bass season for
northern Minnesota opened and Man
ager Byer thought the proper way
to observe the event was to get a
pole. hook and line and hike out on
the lake. He was having good luck
when he got a nibble, then a hard
strike and a battle was on. Dyer
"rassled" all over the boat and came
to the conclusion that he had hooked
German submarine and wondered
how it would come out. He stuck
to it, however, and when it was all
over a six-pound bass was reposing
restlessly in the bottom of the boat.
Will he have six-pOund bass for
dinner? He will not. Mr.. Bass was
prepared for shipping and sent to
St. Paul where it will be mounted
and grace the hotel or wherever Mr..
Byer is and whenever someone starts
to tell of that big bass he caught one
day, Mr.. Byer will gently escort the
enthusiast for a glimpse Of the big
six-pounder and thus take the joy

ATHLETICS GET
Big BOOST AT
FARM COLLEGE
Roberts Bros. of Bismarck,
To Enroll-Carry B. B.

The biggest boost that athletics has
gotten in years was scored at the
Agricultural college this morning In
the announcement that Warder and
Franklin Roberts, sons of Orris w
Roberts, meteorologtst at Bismarck
will enroll at the farm school this
fall.
Arrangements for their enrolment
were made this morning, the young
men autoing down here with their
father and Mrs. Roberts from Bis
r-arck Sunday. Mr.. and Mrs. Roberts
returned late this afternoon.
The Roberts brothers have a rep
utation OF being the speediest Ath-
letes in the western part Of the
state. AS boxers they have staged
exhibitions before the North Dakota
Press association, and before the
gridiron club of North Dakota, COM
posed OF newspapermen and legisla-
tors. The exhibitions have been fast
showed action and head work. The
bouts were usually refereed by the
boys father. I.
Warder Roberts is 20 years old and
will enroll in the Agricultural COL
lege engineering course, and his
brother, Franklin, IS. in the sopho-
more general science work. I'm
questionably both will make the foot
ball, basketball and track teams.
Both are graduates of the high school
department OF st. Johns university.
In 1916 Warder Roberts was cap
tain of the st. Johns basketball
team. His brother was a member OF
the squad for two years, 1918 and
1915. They both proved stellar track
men, and were given honors in all
the field meets.

Due to enlistments in military
branches OF the government and the
CONSUMPTION, very few young men are
expected to enroll in the junior and
senior classes Of the North Dakota
Agricultural college when the term
opens on October /.
THE ratio OF young men to young
women has been almost exactly two to
one for the past few years, but the
number OF young men at the institu-
tion will be greatly reduced" states
Registrar A. III. PARROT. From the
present prospects there will be larg-
er number OF girls here this fall than
ever before. Only so per cent Of the
applications have been received for
rooms in the dormitory compared to
this time a yearBago, in spite OF the
fact that the college opens two weeks
later this year,
''The freshman class will unques-
tionably be the largest in the history
of the college and the new normal
courses which will begin this fall are
already proving to be a great attrac-
ton. Those who attend this in
stitution will have an advantage over
students in the other normal schools
OF the state since after taking the
two years of the normal school work
they can go straight ahead IL they so
desire. and get their degrees in two
more years without anS loss OF time.

ma Rho, Alpha Kappa Phi and Theta
XII will maintain their houses short
handed this year since few of their
members will return, most OF them
