SUPT, DEYINE
REMOVED FROM
SCHOOL POST
When Resignation Was Not
Forthcoming, Board Takes
Matter in Own Hands

J. NJ. Devine, superintendent of the
Mandan Training School, was remov
ed today by the board of administra-
tion and Ole Lund, employed by the
board was placed in temporary
charge.
Mr.. Devine has drawn the fire OF
the administration several times and
not long ago was formally requested
to resign but evidently did not COM
ply. 1t was stated at the board Of
administration headquarters today
that conditions at the school warrant-
ed the removal Of Supt. Devine.
Mr.. Devine was appointed to head
the training school by Gov. l.. B. Har-
ia about six years ago. He came 10
Mandan from Min0t.
Supt. Devine is former governor
of North Dakota and former state
superintendent of schools.
There was no ground for my re-
moval," said Mr.. Devine today. They
have filed charges that was not con-
ducting the school according to the
best interests of the state and not
turning out the best kind of citizens.
l refused to resign without an oppor-
tunity to be heard and answer specific
charges. Now that they have seen
fit to remove me, l will retire as soon
as my successor is installed be-
lieve my removal is due to the fact
that l do not agree politically with
the administration" e

U. s. REGULATION
OF PACKERS,IS
HELD NECESSARY
Secretary of Agriculture Asks
it be Placed in His Depart
ment
POINTS OUT REASONS

Washington, May 5.--Federal ragi.
lations Of the meat packing industry
is very desirable now" to aid the
livestock industry, Secretary Wilson
declared today before a house COM
mittee holding hearings on proposed
regulatory legislation.
The agricultural secretary suggest
ed that his department be charged
with administration of the law as it
had a large number of men familiar
with the industry and also because the
farmers felt it was closer to them
possibly than any other government
agency.
Mr.. Wallace told the committee he
was unable to understand why the
packers should oppose such legisla.
tion as reasonable supervision of their
industry might have the effect of end
ing the criticisms to which they have
been subjected. ~
Secretary Wallace asked the com.
mittee to give his department power
to make studies of the price move
ments and economic changes ins meth.
ods in distributing agricultural prod
ucts. 4fasFs es..s} ''
1T seems to me the government
SHOULD provide agencies in the depart
ment of agriculture which may give
continuous study to price movements
and the distribution Of greater agri'
culture commodities, the secretary
said, "The United States is now I'M
dergoing profound economic changes
which may change the relationship
and the balance for al! our people. 1t
is most important that we have the
data which will enable US to deter.
mine the general trend.'

Coblenz, May 4.-(The Associated

Germany more than $4,000 French

street.
The window, TRANSFORMED into a
cell, was decorated with placards tell
ing what the knocker had been doing,
which included knocking everything,
even the Elks minstrels.
The clever writing on some Of the
cards indicated to some citizens that
the conspirator must have had witty
, co-conspirator, and some one thought
of Sam Clark, but they dismissed the
thought for they knew he wouldn't
be writing knocking signs under any
circumstances.
The Town Criers captured the con-
spirator, but the !Elks have the honor
Of disposing Of him and venting their
feelings, for the reports said he had
