CHIEF JUSTICE RoBINsoN,s
OPINION.

After reading the evidence in the
Bank Of North Dakota case taken
before the legislative committee
Chief Justice Robinson of the SUI
pren1e court gives the following view
OF the case as he sees it. It means a
lot toward convincing people that
the Bank of North Dakota is really
a liability rather than an asset to
the. state, from the fact that the
chief justice was elected on the Non
partisan ticket and the Townley
bunch are looking to him fof !. favor
able opinions in issues that come up.
This is the way his opinion reads:
Con our Ship of State, there
is modern Jonah-the state
bank. The Lord has sent out a /.
great wind and there is a mighty
tempest in the seas and the ship
is likely to be broken unless Jo-:
nah be thrown overheard. q
This same Jonah, without any
means Of his own, has posed as
a banker and gotten into his
Golfers all the public moneys
from every county and corner of
the state. He has put a large
part of the money into longtime
loans on land and into the Golfers
of bankers and parties that will
never repay, and into buildings,
mills and elevators.
Now the depositors demand
their money and there is no pay
ment. Jonah is several millions
short and he will neither fish,
cut bait nor go ashore, SO the
chances are he will have to be
thrown into the sea-
Does the senate investigating COM
mittee think that Chief Justice Rob-
inson also does not know what he Is
talkine about. and is trying to "n,is-
lead the public" and that his state
rnents are "rfdiculous," "meanine-
less" absurd and INTENDED to de-
ceive?"

The Pioneer Express is not in fa-
vor of a recall election just now.
Give the Nonpartisan bosses at Bis
marck a few more months to manipu-
late things and they will strangle
themselves, for the the rope they
have been playing with is Tightening
all the time.

True Memorial
Dav Observance

For the first time in many years
Memorial Day was observed in Gar
diner exactly as was originally intend
ed, by paying tribute to the soldier
dead and not by ball games and SINH
lar entertainments. There were no
athletic games or diversions of any
kind. The weather was all that could
be desired and the attendance at the
various exercises throughout the city
excellent.
Following long established custom,
Heath Post and allied and other pa
triotic organizations observed the day
with a parade and the decorating the
graves of the dead, at the various Gem
eteries.
At eight o'clock members of Heath
Post B. E. Smith Post, American Le-
gion, Spanish War Veterans and Sons

on the bridge, where flowers were cast
on the waters of the Kennebec, as a

a characteristic of Americans, a prone

Army Air Board
to Probe Loss of
Ambulance Plane

Washington. May disappointment
of a board of three officers of the
army air service to investigate the
dent in which five army men and two
civilians lost their lives when a big
army Curtiss Eagle ambulance air
plane crashed to the earth in a severe
storm near Morgantown, Maryland,
Saturday evening, was announced
today by Major NJ. F. Scanlon, COM
mandant at Boiling Field.
Captain w. c. Ocker, who was
caught in the storm himself flying
here from Langley Field in an SE-5
single seat plane. ISIS enior member
of the board. The others are Lieut.,
r. C. Wilkins, who was the first
army officer to go to the scene of the
crash and take charge of the bodies,
and Lieut.. Leroy Wolfe. They will
endeavor to determine among other
things, whether the crash was the re-
suit of any defect in design or equip
ment of the airplane, or of any mis-
take or mismanagement on the part
of the pilot, Lieut.. s. M. Ames and
whether the five army men met
death in line Of duty.
Flying officers stationed in the city
and at Boiling Field asserted en-
phatically today their belief that
Lieut.. Ames had not 'lost his head"
in the storm and therefore been in
measure at least, responsible for the
accident He was one of the best
and coolest pilots in the service and
was familiar with the big Curtiss
plane they declared. They were also
inclined to discredit reports that the
wrecked machine was defective in
design. Major Scanlon declared that
he had piloted similar plane, with
out the ambulance equipment, to New
York, with eight passengers recently
and found it satisfactory in every
way.
The board of investigation visited
the scene of the wreck today and
took the testimony of persons who
were nearby when the Eagle crash
ed. They made a careful study of
the wrecked plane and afterward had
it burned. as it was considered UNI
sanitary. No part of the plane was
salvageable. officers said, adding that
army aviators would not fly in a
plane carrying any equipment taken
from the wrecked machine anyway.
1t seemed probable that the details
of the accident would never be
known, as every man in the plane
was killed. An examination of the
personal effects of the victims show
ed that six of the seven watches had
stopped at $40 P. NJ, fixing the exact
time of the crash, it was believed,
beyond dispute. The seventh watch
stopped at 625. The board was eX-
pected to finish it's inquiry tonight
and report to Major Scanlon tomor-
row. A number of photographs were
taken of the wrecked machine.
Major T. C. Turner, in charge of
marine corps aviation, it became
known today, had a narrow escape in
the same storm which caused the
wreck of the Eagle, as well as'send-

Dempsey Finds New
Punching Bag in
Tough Larry Williams

|. Atlantic City, May 30-With four
days rest awaiting him, Jack Demp-
sey took his last workout today I'M
til Saturday, stepping six furious
rounds with a trio of sparring part
nerS.
The workout was witnessed by the
largest crowd that has damned the
champions open air arena since he
started training two weeks ago. There
were several hundred women specta-
tors and they applauded Dempsey af-
ter he finished.
Larry Williams, the 1S0-lb. fighter
who was all but knocked out yester-
day, received another battering from
the champion. Dempsey punched him
numerically around the body with
wicked left hooks, occasionally
Strengthening him up with solid
smashes to the head. Williams is
proving the best sparring partner for
the champion, as he fights back all
the time, while the others content
themselves by backing away from
Dempsey's rushes. Dempsey opened
up the cut over Williams eye with
the last punch of their two rounds.
After Williams left the ring, Jack
Renault and Leo Houck faced Demp-
sey for two rounds each. but Demp-
sey was unable to do much with them
because of their inclination to retreat.
Dempsey cracked Renault twice on
the chin with left hooks and dug a
left into his body without return.
Dempsey sent Houck to his launches
a straight left in the first round he
boxed.
Dempsey wore full length tights in
stead of fighting trunks as a chill
wind swept off the ocean and he did
not want to risk the danger of catch
ing cold. He also wore a strip of
white court plaster over his right eye
to protect it. The wound, opened
when Dempsey's head collided with
Renault on Friday, is healing nicely.
Despite another threatening down.
pour and rain soaked roads, Dempsey
insisted on covering six miles on the
road this morning.
While trotting along with his three
dogs, a passing automobile struck
Doctor hemingway, one OF Dempsey S
Belgian police dogs, running over the
animal and stunning it.
When the driver brought his car to
a stop and learned the identity of the
champion, he quickly blurted out an
apology. Dempsey rushed over to the
injured dog and picked him up in his
arms. The dog was not seriously
hurt and limped back to the camp
with the champion.

the statement that Saturdays air &C
cident furnished a dramatic illustra-
ton of the need for centralized control
of aeronautics. Properly marked air
way, frequent landing fields. direc-
tional wireless communication with
planes in the air and hourly weather
reports are the outstanding needs of
aviation today, he asserted.
They can only be obtained, through
out the country, he said, by placing
all aviation under single control.
The United States is as yet only 40
per cent mapped aerially, hea dded.
The United States, Gen. Mitchell
said, has only about 400 military air
planes of all types available. most of
them obsolete. The present concen-
tration at Langley Field in prepara-
ton for the join army-navy bombing
, tests next month represents the ma
{ tons real aerial strength, he de-
clared, added that the army entirely
/ lacks modern pursuit planes. Great
Britain's air service is organized into
q squadrons totalling, with reserves,
more than 5000 machines, the officer
asserted, and is being increased by
, seven squadrons. Japan Is organizing
an air force of one division Of 1900
ships for combat and bombing work
and about 600 observation planes, he
said. Japan already has about 500
airplanes in service nd is buying more
of the most modern types, he added.
General Mitchell asserted that the
United States could maintain a force
of more than 5000 aircraft with the
more than $1OO,OO0,0OO appropriated
last year for all forms of government
