Gets Stiff !.
Sentence
Lawrence b. Mattheisen, Recaptured
Jail.breaker, Pleads Guilty to
Grand Larceny and L. Sent to Peni-
Tertiary for Five Years.

All the dash and bravado which
had formerly characterised Lawrence
b. Mattheisen, left him this forenoon
when he appeared before District
Judge Charles M. Cooley to plead
guilty to q charge Of grand larceny
and to receive a sentence which
means that he must spend five years
in the state penitentiary at Bismarck,
After listening to the information
presented against Mattheisen by
States Attorney Theo. B. Elton, the
defendant broke down completely and
attempted to make pleas which he
thought might be considered extenu-
ating circumstances. These efforts
were all in vain, and he soon made
up his mind to plead guilty to the
charge of having, on September %,
stolen an automobile from M. Lundy
Of this city.
AS the circumstances surrounding
the theft were far from extenuating,
the court imposed the maximum sem
tence on Mattheisen-that is, FIVE
years in the ~penitentiary. Upon hear
ing this, Mattheisen was completely
unnerved and vainly implored the
court to give him another chance"
Mattheisen is alleged to have stolen
automobiles in South Dakota and
Minnesota as we'll as in this city; in
addition to this, he is a self-confessed
deserter from Camp Dodge. Iowa. AS
to whether or not the government or
the neighboring states will insist on
further punishment when he has
served his time at Bismarck, nothing
is known now.
On October 4, Mattheisen made his
escape from the Grand Forks county
Jail and was recaptured in Minne-
apolis only a few days ago.

Plans Work
War Camp Community Service Dis.
cusses Means of Bringing About Co.
operation With National Body for
Benefit of S. A. T. @. Men Here.

The War Camp Community Service
committee Of the Commercial club met
at the club rooms this forenoon to
consider matters relating to commun-
ity work for the enlisted soldiers and
members of the S. A. T. G. at the uni
versity post. 4
This matter was taken up several
weeks ago., and steps were taken to
bring the soldiers at the post and the
people Of the community into closer
relationship. The outbreak of influ-
enza has prevented the working out
Of these plans beyond the initial
stages, and in the meantime a repre-
sentative Of the national Wal Camp
Community Service organization has
visited the city and met with the
committee with a view to the further
elaboration of the plans under the
auspices of the national board. Rec
been made to national headquarters,
but thus far these have not been
formally approved. Pending decision
the local committee has not attempted
to proceed further.
It is felt that with 500 to 800 young
men at the university, most of whom
are as completely separated from their
own home life as are any OF the
soldiers in the c~antonments, and with
The prospect that in the near future
the health conditions will be such as
to permit a resumption of the ordi-
nary activities, with the periodical
visits\to the city Of men on leave,
there is immediate need for the COM
munity service which a be rendered
only by agencies without the army
post The committee therefore auth
orized the secretary to wire the ma
tional headquarters asking prompt
decision as to the policy to be pur-
sued. Should the national body feel
that this work here comes within the
scope of it's activities, the local COM
mittee will recommend to the club
directors hat independent action be
taken at once, in order that the need
may promptly be met.

Gas Cases
Not Alike
City Attorney Geo. A. Bangs Says
That Conditions Obtaining in MOOT
head Rate Litigation Are Not the
Same as are Found in Grand Forks.

In discussing today. the decision OF
Federal Judge Chas. F. Amidon in
the Moorhead gas case. City Attorney
Geo. A.. Bangs said that, contrary to
what appeared to be a pretty general
view. this would have no bearing on
the Grand Forks gas rates and that
conditions there and here were ma
terially different.
The suit of the Guaranty Trust Co.,
Light, Heat & Power Co., against the
city Of Fargo and certain heat coz
sumers seeking to set aside an in
junction granted in district court re-
straining the company from increas-
ing its rates for heat or discontinue
ing the service. heard in federal court
in Fargo a month ago, was dismissed
for lack Of jurisdiction by Judge
Amidon.
Judge Amidon held that the plain
tiffs and defendants in the action
were in reality residents of the state,
and that Jurisdiction rested in the
state courts. The trust company held
that its security was jeopardized by
the fact that the light company was
forced to supply heat at a loss due to
war conditions.
In a decision in the Moorhead gas
case. rendered at the same time,
Judge Amidon held that the contract
between the light company and the
city Of Moorhead, providing a maxi
mum rate for gas and heat, was bind
ing on the company and could not be
/ ~abrogated by the company to the
detriment Of the public.
A similar decision was rendered in
the Minot case, Judge Amidon con-
tinuing the injunction against the
light company, and denying the COM
pany's motion for an injunction
against the city.
Differences I'm Franchises.
When asked for comment on the
action of Judge Amidon. and its re-
lation to the Grand Forks gas rate
matters, Mr.. Bangs said this after
noon:
I'm the Moorhead case the
ordinance under which the light COM
pany was authorized to use the streets
fixed the rates for lighting, at $1.45
n for heating at $3.50 per thousand
cubic feet; the rates were to remain
in force for 10 years. were accepted
by h company and became a con-
tract; Judge Amidon held that the
lighting company was bound by the
terms of the contract precisely the
same as was the city of Moorhead.
AAe CouoltlOH 1T a FORKS II
materially different: it will be OBJ.
served that the Moorhead rates were
fixed by an ordinance enacted within
the last few years; the Grand Forks
franchises were issued to the electric
light and gas companies, predecessors
Of the Red River Power Co., ava,
back, In the eighties. from 80 to 81
years ago when everyone was anxiou,
to induce people to put their none,
into such plants to help build up thu
country. I think Grand Forks citizen
aided in the construction Of the plan
by subscription to induce the pro
motors to build: in the electric ligh'
franchises, no rates whatever wer,
fixed; in the gas company franchise
he maximum was fxedN at $500 pel
thousand so that the principles ap
piled by Judge Amidon in the Moor
head case cannot aid US here.'

Two Deaths on East Side.
In East Grand Forks pneumonia
today caused the death of Hugh Da-
vid Murray, 4 years old, and a two
week old child, whose parents are
Mr.. and Mrs. j. W. Tack.
Several new influenza cases were
reported to DIR. Henry O'Keefe. Grand
Forks. city health officer, today, but
it appears that none of them was
very serious, although it is difficult
to forecast the development of each
case Pneumonia seems to continue
to be prevalent in the city, n al
though there has been a slight falling
of in the mortality rate. the epidemic
is still serious enough to warrant the
utmost care.
About a month ago it was said by
one of the local physicians that the
period of an influenza and pneu-
monia epidemic ordinarily extended
over five or six weeks. Nothing
definite can be established as to the
exact duration of the epidemic, but.
judging from observations made else
where, this impression was formed.
At the present time. it looks as
though the disease will have run its
course here during that length of
time, for although new cases are re-
ported, it does not escape the atten-
ton Of the health authorities, that
the cases reported are becoming few
err every day. But as to certain pre-
dictions concerning the recall Of the
general closing order. everybody is
careful, and, in spite of the fact that
things may become Just about nor
NAL by the end Of the week, there is
nothing now to make this prediction
final or decisive.
