Whisky and Gas Don't Mix.

An automobile driven by A. b..
Mitchell and containing besides him
self, A. M. Gillis, lot of fishing tackle
and half mt bottle of whisky came
down Bridge street from the south
at a rapid rate Thursday afternoon
at $3.50 o'clock and when it reached
the curbing on the ncrth side of Main
street it jumped up on the sidewalk,
narrowly missed a big heavy elecr-s
line pole and shot across the street,
crashing into a big automobile owned
by M les Heath Of Detroit. Mitchell
was driving and claimed his brakes
would not work. Mitchell appeared
to be fairly well under the influence
of Intoxicating liquors and the two
men were locked up in jail until about
10 o'clock that night when friends of
theirs from Ionia, interceding for
them, secured their release. They
were back again Friday morning and
when Mitchell was arraigned in
Judge Lapham's court on a charge
of driving a motor vehicle while under
the influence of intoxicatin9 liquors,
he stood mute, as did his companion,
who was arraigned on a charge OF
drunk and disorderly. The case
comes up for final settlement again on
Friday, July 26. The warrant against
ellis on a drunk and disorderly
charge is undoubtedly mistake as he
showed no signs of having been
drunk and was far from showing
effects of drinking or being disorderly.
Both of the men were anxious to
square matters and did everything they
could to right the damages. Alfred
R. Locke of Ionia has been retained
by the men as attorney.

Captain Falconer,
Former Bismarck Man,
Dies In France

Bismarck. N. D., Nov. 3o.-The
death of Capt. Addison B. Falconer.
only son of Mr.. and Mrs. William A.
Falconer Of First street, was an
nounced in a telegram received by his
mother last night from the widow Of
the deceased, Mrs. Maude Irving Fall
coner of Galveston, Tex, who had
been officially notified by the val de-
partment.
Captain Falconer, said the brief
message, died in France on October
20 from pneumonia following an at
tack Of influenza.
The news came as a terrible shock
for the young mans family. When he
sailed from Galveston for France a
few weeks ago he was in perfect
health and in high spirits. He had a
splendid physique and had seldom.
if ever, been i'll.
Captain Falconer was admitted to
the second officers training school at
Fort Smelling in the summer Of 1917.
Thence he was transferred to the
coast artillery training school at
Fortress Monroe, Va, where he grad
uated with the rank of lieutenant. He
was then assigned to the coast artil-
lery station at Galveston, Tex, where.
in a. competitive examination in
which 1000 took part, he won a COM
mission as captain.
October 1, a few weeks after receiv-
ing his prom otion, Captain Falconer
was united in marriage at Galveston
with Miss Maude Irving, daughter of
a prominent Santa Fe railway off,
cial. Mrs. Falconer received the Of
fetal notification of her husbands
death at Galveston yesterday and i'm
mediately wired his parents here.
Captain Falconer was an unusually
promising young man. He had dis
played, brilliant abilities along mill
tary lines, and a splendid future had
been predicted for him in the army.
He is survived by his parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. William A. Falconer, pioneer
citizens OF BisSarck. and by one sis
ter Mrs. Robert A. Day, who is with
her husband, Lieut.. Day. in Texas.

KEEP PRISONERS
AT BEST HOTEL
State Can Better Afford This
Than Keep Them at Pen,
Says Kositzky.

Bismarck, N. D., Nov. 30.-The
state Of North Dakota can better az
ford to pay So per day for the board
and lodging Of it's prisoners at
best hotel In the state than to keep
them at the state penitentiary at the
present cost of upkeep. states Carl
Kositzky. state auditor.
Mr.. Kositzky is authority for the
rather startling fact that every pris-
oner in the state penitentiary during
tho ensuing two years will cost the
state $95 per month over and above
his earnings in the prison industries.
The cost during the last biennium has
exceeded by $50 per month any pront
which may have accrued to the state
from the convict's labor.
May Run Irvine Plant.
It has been pointed out that could
the present administration succeed In
farming out North Dakota's less than
100 prisoners, which will be the num-
Der following the expiration of a
number of sentences early in Deem
Der, to other state penitentiaries. the
state might take over the Irvine plant
and operate it with paid labor. One
Lacquer, at least, believes this an ex-
cellent opportunity to place in prac-
tice the theory of state-ownership Of
industrial enterprises. He points out
that a non-proit sharing corporation
might be organized within the state
administration to operate the Irvine
plant, returning to the state any profit
which might accrue owe the rental
and overhead cost charged up to: the
company. He believes hat the out
put could be increased. and the farm
err given more Irvine and better Irvine
at less cost.
On a per capita basis the main
tenance Of the state prison during
the ensuing biennium would cost
every man, woman and child in the
state rs cents. The appropriation
asked Of the budget committee for
the maintenance of the ~penitentiary is
$292,0S1. This sum includes a deficit
of $4,000 incurred, in operating the
prison for the ten months ending
July 1, 1918. The prison budget in
cludes $4,000 for guard hire and
salaries, as against $67,660 for the
last biennium; $4,000 for general
maintenance, as compared with $780,
900 for the biennium now closing,
and various other increased items OF
cost, in addition to the deficit above
mentioned The increased cos per

izations with highly successful results.
During the Third loan, for instance,
at one Russian mass meeting alone,
five million dollars was subscribed.
In the Fourth loan in New York city
alone twenty-eight million dollars
worth of bonds were purchased by
Russians.
During the Third and Fourth Loan
campaigns mass meetings were held
frequently, particularly in New York,
Chicago, Los Angeles, Philadelphia.
Detroit and Pittsburgh. These meet
ings served to direct the attention
OF the government to the loyalty Of
the majority Of Russians among US.
During the Fourth loan campaign, a
