New York's sticky, swetering wealth
er continued yesterday. The efforts of
citizens to obtain relief also continued
but they had little success. The days
highest temperature was 80 degrees,
recorded at 4 p. m, but almost every
body is of the opinion that it was hot
ter than that.
Three persons died in the city from
heat prostration during the day and
two deaths occurred in Newark. Per
sons were overcome by the heat in all
parts of New York City and seventeen
were attended for heat prostration up
until an early hour last night. The
condition of a number of them was
such that they had to be removed to
hospitals.
Relief will be here to-day sure, says
the weather man. 1t was predicted
last night at II Battery Place that the
temperature will drop, the fall to be
accompanied by moderate winds and
cloudy skies.

Defense Blames Woman

Nicholas Laresch, who has been on
trial before Judge Grain and a Jury
IN General Sessions, charged with the
murder, on December 16 last, of Police
Lieutenant Floyd Horton, was last
night found guilty of murder in the
second degree and sentenced imme-
diately to term of twenty years to
life in states prison. His counsel,
Bernard H. Sander, announced that
he would appeal from the verdict.
The jury deliberated for six and a
half hours. Little emotion was shown
either by the defendant or Mrs. Hor-
ton, wife of the slain man, who had
been IN attendance throughout the
trial, when the foreman announced the
decision. Judge Grain, in imposing
sentence and before the defendant's s
counsel announced that he would ap-
peal, said:
"In the light Of the evidence in this
case, the jury has been merciful to
this defendant. The verdict is fully
justified by the evidence"
Laresch said, in giving his pedigree.
that he was chauffeur, thirty five
years old and married. He gave his
address as 303 Sixth Street, Brooklyn.
In 1912 he was convicted before Judge
Mulqueen of grand larceny and SEN

He will remain in the Tombs for a
week before starting his sentence.
Mrs. Horton shook Judge Grains
hand when he stepped down from the
bench after adjourning court.
lntimations of further indictments
and trials for the murder of Lieuten-
ant Horton were made by Assistant
District Attorney Brothers in summing
up. Mr.. Sander had asserted that
Mrs. Lucille f. Brooks, who had
formerly lived at the apartment house
near which the shooting occurred, and
John Cavanaugh, the former .superin-
tendent of the house, had gained i'm
munity from prosecution by appearing
before the grand jury. The Assistant
District Attorney replied:
mo one has secured immunity. We
are now trying Nicholas Laresch for
murder in the first segree. We now
have the whole truth of the Staying OF
Lieutenant Horton and perhaps soon
we will come into court again with
further indictments in this case"

In the view of board officials the
British shipping interests have taken
an unreasonable attitude toward ad-

The negotiations which have led up

Alexandria and the general recog-

INSPECTION OF
665 HOTELS IN
STATE is MADE

Fargo. N. D., Sept. 17.-Following
the recent completion of state inspec-
tion of 665 hotels in tie state, under
the provisions of state law. three in
spectors of the state Regulatory Di-
vision are now engaged in re-inspec-
ton of places where improvements
were needed, according to an an
made today by Alma X.
Johnson. chief deputy hotel inspector
for North Dakota.
Reports from inspectors in the field
indicate that sanitary conditions are
good in general, in hotels Of the state,
and that the scores show an improve
ment over last year, according to Miss
Johnson. The decrease of almost so
hotels in the state sine. last year is
stated to be due to decrease in num-
ber of small rooming houses for tran
sients. The average score this year
of hotels in the 10 largest cities in the
state was 9O-2 with the highest aver
age score at 81, and The lowest 83.6.
Five hotels we're DESTROYED by fire. and
II were closed during the year. Last
year the average score of all hotels in
the state was S6.
Besides the inspection of sanitary
conditions in the hotels, provisions for
fire prevention and fire escapes and
similar iter,s are inclndef in the in
spection. Due to lack of funis, in
spectors are furnished hy the food
commission for part Tine service as
hotel inspectors.

LICENSING OF
ENGINEERS UP
Will Attempt TO Obtain Early
Legislation

The matter of the registration OF
professional engineers and land sur
veyors in North Dakota is about to re-
ceive considerable attention by the en-
gineers and surveyors Of the state.
At the last session of the legislature
bill for such registration sponsored
by the state chapter of the American
Association of Engineers was twice
favOrably reported out of the house
committee to which it was assigned
but in the confusion and haste of the
closing days of the session, the bill
became lost and was Indefinitely post
poned.
The primary purpose Of registra-
tion act is to insure protection to the
public against the practices of such
persons who are INSCRIPTIONS or have
only a smattering Of engineering
knowledge. This matter of muck
Importance to the public as the work
of engineers and engineering works
are commonly of public or quasi
public nature.
In all but seven states, engineers
license laws are in effect or have been
recently proposed. Nearest North Da-
kota is Minnesota, which enacted
registration act in 1921. Iowa, Colo
RADIO, Wyoming and Idaho have license
laws and virtually surround Montana.

to date have none.

DECIDE SOON
ON FIRE TRUCK
The City Commission Considers
Strongly Local Bid

The city commission may act on the
purchase OF fire truck for the city
on Monday night. Commissioner
Larson who has been out Of the city
on business, Is returning and action
will be taken as soon as possible, ac-
cording to members of the COM
mission.
There is a strong probability Of the
purchase OF a truck offered by To-
cal bidder. Some of the members Of
the commission have investigated
closely the proposal made by Chris
Dertsch, Jr. Of the Bismarck Motor
company for the sale of White truck
equipped with fire apparatus. One Of
these bids was for a combination
chemical and hose car with double
tank for $7,703.5O and another was for
a large apparatus with more equip
ment for 1895 90.
The bids offered through the local
men were considered the cheapest
bids for the kind of fire apparatus the
city commission desires to purchase.
