HOLDS BANK TRIAL
IN DAKOTA IMPROPER
Dissenting Judge Believes Judg-
ment Void in Case Of Scandi-
navian American House.

BISMARCK, N. D., November g.
Lack of a proper trial was the ground
on which Justice Luther Birdell Of
the state supreme court, in q minority
opinion filed here today. dissents
from the majority verdict Of the su-
preme court, handed down October 81.
in which state ofiicials were perma-
nently enjeined from conducting an
examination of the Scandinavian
American Bank Of Fargo and in which
the majority of the supreme court
held that the Fargo bank was solvent.
Justice Birdsell said:
1T 10 to be hoped that the condition
Of the bank is such as to justify the
reopening which closely followed the
announcement of the majority opin-
ion. Possibly an immediate trail on
the merits might have given added as
surance as to the correctness of the
findings, which are now based on q
showing only sufficient for a prima
facie case required for a temporary
Injunction. 1 can only regard the final
judgment as being void. for lack Of a
trial conducted in accordance with due
process of law"

SOLUTION OF PROBLEM
TO KEEP HIGHWAYS
OUT OF POLITICS

One of the fundamental needs
OF the road legislation for Okla
homa is that administration OF
road funds shall be removed from
politics. TO achieve this result is
no easy proposition as all who have
had experience in legislation will
readily agree, even though there be
a strong majority sentiment in its
favor.
Another of the fundamentals OF
the proposed road legislative pro-
grams is that the control of funds
to be expended in road construc-
ton throughout the state shall be
removed from local township and
county authorities and placed un-
der the direction OF a centralized
state board so that every dollar may
be placed upon roads in accordance
with specifications as directed by
competent road engineers.
Many proposals have been made
to accomplish these results, but
Col. Sidney Suggs, ufirst highway
commissioner and the premier good
roads promoter OF Oklahoma, has
made suggestion that has been
taken up by the Ardmore Chamber
OF Commerce with the belief that It
offers the best solution yet pro-
posed OF the problem confronting
the promoters OF the state Col
oncl Suggs' proposal, with some
elaborations worked out in confer
cnce is as follows:
The proposed fifty million dollar
bond issue will be paid either in
whole or in very large part by au-
tomobile and truck owners in the
form OF an annual license fee. These
automobile and truck owners are
virtually stockholders in a great
corporation organized for the pur-
pose of constructing a state system
Of permanent highways. As stock
holders, they are entitled to select
their board OF directors to admin
ister the affairs OF the corporation.
Therefore, when the annual auto
mobile or truck license is paid,
there should be issued, attached TO

GENERAL HARTS DENIES
STORIES OF DOUGHBOY
CRIME WAVE IN PARIS

Paris, Feb. 5.-Reports OF wide
spread lawlessness on the part OF
the Americans, particularly from
the American cXpeditionary forces,
are wholly unfounded declares
Brig,-Gen w. w. Iarts, Ameri-
can commander of the Paris district
in report submitted to Mai. Gen
!. G. Harbord. The report gives
the results of exhaustive inyesti-
cations of printed and rumorcd re-
ports OF crime and lawlesSnesS. 1t
is based on records of the Ameri-
can provost marshal, the French
police and other sources.
General Harts says that the per-
sistence of appearance OF news
paper articles accusing the Ameri-
cans of lawlessness "has led to the
impression that there is some anti
American propaganda at work in
Paris, which some have ascribed
to German sources He says that
incontrovertible figures show that
the criminal offenses committed in
Paris and ascribed to American SOL
diers from January 1918 to Janu-
airy 1919 were extremely few in pro-
portion to the number OF American
soldiers in Paris during that period.
One Paris newspaper recently as
cribed to American soldiers total
OF "a murders, 25O day and night
attacks and $50 bloody combats," :"
during December. General Harts
characterizcs this as malicious eX-
aggeration and says that the rec
ords show that serious oifenses
committed by Americans during
December totallcd two cases OF as
sault and battery, three cases Of
house-break.ng and seven cases OF
disorderly conduct.
Inviting attention to the fact that
more than 25000 soldiers have been
stationed in Paris at one time and
that some 5000 pass through the
city daily General IIarts gives the
following data of cases OF crime
in which American soldiers were
concerned as reported by the per
feet OF the Paris police:
From Jan. I, 1918, to Nov. l8,
there were 80 shooting affairs.
