Sisters Live i'm Cave
In Hillside IS Years

The board Of insanity for Stark
County, North Dakota, recently com.
|mitted to the state hospital at Janas-
town two maiden sisters who have
been living for thirty-hve years In q
dugout in hillside fifteen miles soutA
of Dickinson. These two women, Kath-
erine and Rebecca McCullum, are about
sixty years old. and came from Pom
eroy, Iowa, in an immigrant car and
have lived practically ever since on
the same farm which they homestead
Jed at that time.
The siseAts were noticed as being
peculiar fsv1 the beginning, but about
twenty years ago they went back to
by relatives, and on their return stated
that they had been given drugged ap-
pies to eat. From that time on they
became more and moro peculiar, one
OF them, Rebecca, never having left the
farm since. Until old age and weak.
ness prevented Katherine made the
trips to town for supplies, carrying
them on her back or pushing them in
an ancient looking baby carriage.
cause they said they could find moth
ing in the Bible warranting it, and re-
Gently they became imbued with ths
idea that the Lord would provide all
OF the necessities of life without effort
on their part. Accordingly they quit
buying supplies and clothing,
When the war broke out 1hey imag
ined that the Germans had poisoned
the water supply with Paris green, 90
they melted snow for their cattle and
refused to use the milk lest it, too,, bs
poisoned.
The'Red Cross became interested in
the case and Miss Sonia Marakoff,
executive secretary, visited the dugout.
There she found the women dressed in
tattered overalls and in cast off shoes
and coats. The nurse tried 60 induce
the women to change their way Of liv-
ing but they emphatically refused all
assistance, stating that the Lord would
provide in, His own! good way. The
county authorities then took the case
in hand and brought the poor creatures
before the insanity board, whore they
were committed to the asylum.

legal, definitely and publicly abandon
them and accept such consequences as
seemed just and proper to the court
under all of the circumstances.
MY advice has been ungrudgingly ac-
cepted and fully carried out. The COM
bination or group complained Of has
been broken UP and permanently dis
banded. All information sought by the
Lockwood Committee has been frankly
placed at the disposal of it's counsel
without reserve. So far as possible the
committee has been assisted in its Inn
portant work. All of the defendants
who have been asked to do so have
gone before the Grand Jury and stated
the facts, waving any claims of Inn
munity. They knew that they were ab-
solutely innocent of any criminal intent,
that they had relied implicitly on what
they believed to be competent legal adj
vice and felt that in passing Judgment
both the court and the public would
take these facts into consideration.
This has been no combination of pros
porous concerns to boost prices or prof.
teer. On the contrary, 1t has been
desperate and III advised effort to keep
failing business going. Not one OF
these concerns shows a net profit for the
period of the last five years.
ITO accomplish the division OF the
work estimates were submitted 70 CEN
trail office, and from time to time when
1t was found that among rival bidders
one had more work In hand than its
agreed proportion. and another was be-
low its quota, the parties were in some
cases advised to change their estimates
In such manner as to make the one to
whom the work was to be allotted the
lowest bidder.
'In this manner these concerns have
worked on and off since 1912. There were
periods when 1t was abandoned. but
during the depression in the trade while
the war was in progress the plan was
revived. The arrangement embraced
only about 60 per cent. of the trade No
coercion or influence was employed by
the members to bring others into the
group. All were free to join or leave
as they saw fit. In entering into this
arrangement the whole purpose of these
contractors was to keep their heads
above water and maintain business
which was threatened with destruction"

KapIan Alone in HIS Fight.

But the committee did go into secret
session and Kaplan went along. Then 4
was discovered that the Democrat mem
bers were In n majority. Two OF the Re-
publicans had been excused and gone
home and the committee stood four Dem
ocrats and three Republicans
Scores OF men gathered around the big
plate glass door leading into the private
room where the committee sat and FOR
half an hour watched the Senator's, AS
semblymen and counsel waving the.i
arms and shaking fists at one another.
No word was heard. but the pantomime
was interesting. After the session ended
Mr.. Untermyer hurried away to the
Criminal Court Building, but the mem
bers of the committee kept up the panto-
mime for another twenty minutes. Sen
ator Lockwood came out and dictated q
statement.
The committee decided. the Senator
said. that It had no jurisdiction over
criminal proceedings and would express
no opinion thereon. The members stated
In their discussion that It would be gross
improperly for them to tell tire court
what sentences should be imposed. The
committee further declared II had full
confidence in It's counsel. naming Mr.
Untermyer and Messrs. Wallstein and
Berger.
Kaplan alone voted against the resoiu-
ton, the other Democrats refusing 70
stand by him.
