FRAZIER AGAIN
BEGINS PROBE
OF LAYER CASE
Thought Case Was Dropped
Until Governors Detec-
tive Shows Up Again.

Bismarck. N. D., July 27.-Further
investigation into the Turtle Lake
murder case is being carried on by'a'
detective employed by Governor L. J.
Frazier.
Although Henry Layer, confessed
murderer. is serving his life sentence
IN the p~enitentiary, the case is not
closed. When a party of relatives
n friends of Layer called upon the
governor Last week. he told them that
II they believed Layer to- be innocent
they could hire a lawyer and appeal
to the supreme court, for q new trial.
It was believed that the governor
had. dropped the case until Detective
Hoy Of Minneapolis came back to
the case for Governor Frazier after
the murders OF the Wolf family OF
seven n q chore boy were commit
ted in April.
Hoy refused to make a public
statement as to his connection with
the case and Governor Frazier is now
motoring to Yellowstone National
Park.
Reward is Not Paid.
The reward Of $1,000 offered by the
governor for the apprehension Of the
murderer mas never been allowed, al
though statements Of officials to the
effect that Chris Martineson, chief
of the Bismarck police, Is entitled
to the reward have been presented
to him.
The claim of Madame A. de Meules,
St. Paul ~spiritualist reader, who came
here to claim the reward on the
ground that she saw the crime in
st. Paul and gave q detective infor-
nation which led to- the arrest of
Layer, has not made much impress
sion upon officials. . a-s.
The Madame declared while here
that while Layer committed the crime
It was planned by another, the motive
being jealousy ~engendered over
blackmail attempted. as a result of
treatment of a hired girl.
Officials Of Mclean county declare
any theory that another person was
involved IN the crime is not support
ed by any tangible evidence.

Italian Troops Try '.Starv-
ing Out" Process With
dAnnunzio.

London. March "A Starvation
is expected soon to bring to an end
the state Of war; now existing be-
tween the regency Of Quarnero"
at Fiume and the kingdom Of Italy.
The 4s-hoar time limit given civil.
ians to leave the city expired at 6
o'clock last night. and It appears
tine Italian government troops have
settled down to wait for hunger to
defeat dAnnunxio's plan to COM
bat the enforcement Of the treaty
Of Rapallo. One government SOL
der 10 reported to have been kill
ed by = bomb thrown by one of the
d'Annunzian legionnaires, and
shots are said. to have been fred

far the war" has not been marked
by any notable h0stilities.
A barrage Of proclamations has
been hurled into the rival camps by
d'Annunzio and General Caviglia,
commander Of the government
troops forming the Gordon about
Fiume. These .pronouncements
have kept public interest centeFed.
for the. time being at least, in the
strange situation that has develop
ed on the eastern shore Of the Ad-
Ratio. D'Annunxio's latest procla-
nation invites the people Of Fiume
to sacrifice their lives and for
tunes in opposing the Rapallo pact.
The people, however, do not seem
to be very anxious to follow his
advice. In spite Of the orders from
the poet-soldier forbidding anyone
to leave Fiume, several hundred
persons are said to have ned, NOT
wishing to share, even by their
presence, in responsibility for any
rash actions committed by dan
punxio OF his, forces.
The fact that some Russian
troops. formerly q part Of General
Baron, Wrangel's army. have been
landed in Dalmalia, has caused ap-
prehension in some quarters that
they might be used to oust dan
nunxio from Ffume. Il ID asserted
however. there il no intention oi

Washingtpn, Dec. A-Applause
70 beng given In some quarters to
the newest extraordinary action OF
Kansas court Of industrial rela-
tions.
According to newspaper reports.
the Kansas court has ruled that
skilled and faithful employees
should be given such treatment as
will enable them curing the period
Of limited production to support
themselves and their families."
This may b merely . pious wish
Of the court intended ~ q @gges-
tion to employers not to stop wages
when mills arc closed. 1t may
mean that the court intends to
force employers during shutdowns
to carry on their pAyrolls their
skilled and faithful employees" the
court to determine what employees
are to be- ranked ~ faithful" In
the last case the right Of the en-
ployer to lay OF workmen would be
taken from him.
In any event the flour mills Of
Kansas are to be regulated by .
committee appointed By the court.
Ne doubt the committee will base
its regulations on the principle laid
down and quoted above.
Those who applaud this princi-
pie are those who have applauded
the Kansas industrial relations
court since its inception. They call
this ruling another proof OF the
fairness Of the, court and the idea
behind 1t.
!; This principle OF government or
court regulation Of industrial con-
ditions. Of hourB Of labor, of wages,
is the principle Of paternalism in
government It to the idea on which
the socislistic and communist state
IL based.
The soviet government Of Russia
! started out based on the principle
Of paterna1ism. They becames
slaves.
do noe think the principle Of
| patsrnalism . good thing for the
people Of America. 4
Some employers now seem to be
u,isled into hslptug the movement
! towards pat6rnaliam. Tue move
msnt 10 beekdd by I certain few
/ big employers who know exactly
what they want. Their desire IN
not paternalism and government
| regulation Of their factories and
/ PROFITS. But they: want government
help or patsrnalism II they can get
1t for time until they shall have
established an industrial 0ligarchy
in which they shall be dictators
and trades and labor unions shall
have been destroyed.
