If the Bank of North Dakota can't

better do with the Bank of North Da-

He was released on his own recogni- tion and will be tried in the police court Monday morning. A warrant for his arrest was issued some days ago, but he was out of town.

MacFar1an exhibited a stock certificate showing that he had bought 1000 shares of stock in the Shekomeko Company at ten cents a share.
 At that time as at present, no h-
 necticut had been issued by Bank Commissioner Everett J. Sturges and so MT. Mead called eae bank commis- sioner's attention to the sale. MT. 1 Sturges placed the facts in the case in the hands of Attorney General Frank E. Healy, who in turn put it
 up to the police.
 i The wells of the Shekomeko Com | pany are located about nine miles i from Millerton, N. Y.
 The oil company was organized with a $1,000,000 capital and it's off l cers are all residents of Hartford.

 tives.

The prices,- it is said, are substantially those at wholesale. plus a charge for overhead expenses. At present distribution is in bulk, the workers in each mill dividing case lots.

MARTENS SAYS HE
 IS REvOLUTI0NIST
 IN EVERY COUNTRY
Tells Senate Investigat- ing Committee He Does Business in the Open-Has No Con- nectiOn With Russian Socialist F ederatiOn.

Washington, Feb. 21-Ad- mitting that he had been "a revolutionist" in every country where he had lived-Russia, Germany and Switzerland Ludwig c. A. Martens, Russia Soviet agent in the United States, told a Senate investigat- ing committee today that he still was a revolutionist.
 You mean here in the United States, you are a revolutionist now ?' asked Chairman Moses.
 q am,' was Martens reply.
 Wade Ellis, counsel for the com mittee, asked Martens if he had ever opened "secret communication with revolutionaries here.
 All my business had been done in the open," Martens said.
 Don't be too sure about that" the examiner warned him, we're coming to that later"
 Martens said he had no connection with the Russian socialist fedora tion.
 Who nominated you for ambassa- dor to the United States?" MT. Ellis asked.
 Martens said he did not know. that the appointment had come to him as en entire surprise.
 You just got a letter by courier telling you the appointment was yours, and wondered how it came about?'' MT. Euies pursued.
 That was it.
 Now, isn't it a fact that the whole matter was fixed up by a committee in New York, of which you were a member which sent the notice to Rus sia, where it was acted upon?'
 Martens said he did not know, but conceded that such a committee had been formed in New York.

POLICE FORCE
 SEEKING FOR
 GIRLS SLAYER
Twelve Year Old Girl Found Dying In the
 Snow

Sprinfffeld, Mass, Feb. 21-The en- tire police detective department is working today to run down the slay- CT of Virginia Walker, 12 years old, who was found dead in a shed be- longing to the Somers Creamery Co. plant, a few hundred yards from her home, shortly after midnight. The child had been assaulted and had been dead several hours when the body was found. She had been sent to the creamery plant at TAB o'clock to get cream, and her failure to re- turn led to a search. An autopsy will be held to determine the cause of death but the body bore marks of strangulation.
 Though the shed where the body was found is only a few yards from the main building, employees of the company said they heard no outcry, Ernest Darlington, barnman for the creamery company, reported that he found the girls bloodstained hat not more than 10 feet from where her body was found. Asked why he failed to report this sooner he said he thought the hat belonged to his own daughter and that he did not see the stains on it until later. There were six men in the creamery plant be- tween and g o'clock last night, which is believed to cover the time of the murder, but each declared he heard nothing.
 A possible clue is being investigat- ed is that Mrs Frank Devine on the way to her fathers home, not far from the creamery plant, last night was followed and accosted by a young man. She finally cried for help and her brothers came to her aid, where upon the fellow ran away toward the creamery plant.

OUR ATTITUDE
 ON CRITICISM
 IS DANGEROUS
Sims Says Government and People Object to Ad-
 verse Comment
PhiIaHa1nhia

Philadelphia, Feb. 21-Admiral William Sims, orator at the Univer- sity Day exercises of the University of Pennsylvania today to celebrate the birthday of George Washington, drew lessons from the career of the first president and criticized the tendency of Americans to resent adverse com ment upon military unpreparedness of the United States.
 s'The missing element in American ism,'' said the admiral, ''is that it does not include adequate solicitude for our country. The government and to certain extent our people, resent criticism of anything American. This is a dangerous attitude that has cost us many thousands of lives and many millions in treasure.'
 Admiral Sims, who was given the honorary degree of Doctor of Laws, made a personal reference to himself 1 After saying his father was a native Pennsylvanian, that his mother was a Canadian and happened to be in Can | ada when he was born, he added: Perhaps you may be kind enough
