House Juggling Shown
Mr.. Lofthus declared the record
showed not only the the wrong con-
struction had been placed on his
statements by counsel for the house
committee but that the record has
showed few things which he had
never said. Mr.. LOTUS pointed out
that his answers and the construc
ton placed on them when he was
questioned as to the reserves of the
Scandinavian American bank of Far
go by which Attorney John Sulli
van had sought to make it appear
that that bank had no less than no
reserve when it was closed by the
LANCER raid in August, 1919. was
not only misleading but inaccurate.
Mr. Lofthus pointed out that he had
protested against Mr.. Sullivan's
method of Interpreting the banking
law, and Sullivan had chosen his own
method of figuring.
The attorney was asking me to
figure on an Interpretation Of the
law which the supreme court itself
had ruled against" Mr.. Lofthus tes-
titled. "He was asking me to apply
an Interpretation Of the law, which
had enver been applied in the ex-

rectly into the bank and no SAC

the impression that the supreme

BISMARK, N. D., Feb. 28.-The
audit of the Bank of North Dakota
made by the accountants hired by
the l. v. A. failed to credit the Bank
of North Dakota with 100000 in
assets, according to revealments be-
fore the senate inquiry committee
this afternoon.
Accountants for the firm have
been on the stand and sworn to the
accuracy of the audit H. A. Pad
dock, of counsel for the senate COM
mittee also ELECTED from witnesses
testimony proving that the same
audit firm had charged the Drake
mill with loan of $4,000, which
it has never received. The conten-
ton of the Industrial commission
has been that the audit was merely
for the purpose OF creating polite
al capital and making the worst
showing possible against the indus
tries.
M. w. Thatcher OF the Equitable
Audit company was responsible for
the discovery Of the 100000 short
age in assets as listed by the Bishop
Brissman company in the bank audit
it was reported. The bank has been
carrying the 800. 900 on its monthly
statements. The Blank of North Da-
k0ta last August sent to the state
treasurer 100000 to pay interest
on bank bonds, $4,000 of which
came due January I Of this year
and $4,000 July 1.
On the basis of this discovery
the asset also having been over
looked when the industrial commits
sion made its own annual report
the undivided profits and surplus
Of the Bank Of North Dakota at the
time the Bishop, Brissman company
was making its audit should have
been $276,681.84, instead Of $780,
998.60 as set out in the Industrial
commission report. This was for the
period Of 10 months operation Of the
hank. On that basis the average net
profit per annum would have been
$144,740.72.
More False Figures
L. p. McAnepey, credits director
OF the Bank Of North Dakota, and
Mrs. Rose ii. Keller, bookkeeper at
the Drake mill, testified that the
I. v. A. accountants had made the
error of charging the mill with q
$4,000 loan from the Bank Of
Month Dakota which It never made.
Notes and drafts for that amount
had been sent to the bank and the
bank had refused to make . loan.
Mr.. MoAneney said. The charging
Of transaction was on the books at
the time the auditors were at the
mil. Mrs. Keller testified. Il was
shown that an identical transaction
for $4,000 taking place at the same
time. had been properly charged
off In the audit.
Witnesses also testified to the
existence Of q conspiracy among
privately owned banks deliberately
to discredit the Bank Of North Da-
kota.

THE u. S. MARINES ARE TO
GUARD ALL MAIL TRAINS
Postmaster General Hays Declares
Open Warfare on Crooks
and Bandits.

Washington, n. C.-With orders to
shoot to kill il necessary to prevent
mail robberies, 1000 marines were
ordered to duty as guards Of mail
trains and trucks and at postoffices
in Is cities. The men will be armed
with pistols and sawed off s%hotguns,
Postmaster General Hays announced
after a conference with Maj. Gen. LIE
Jeune, commandant of the marine
corps. The marines are to be re-
placed eventually, he said, by a spe-
cial force recruited from the postal
service.
Arrangements for the services or
the marines, Mr.. Hays said, were
made with the secretary OF the navy.
The matter was discussed at a cabinet
meeting and President Harding is
said to have expressed approval Of
Mr.. Hays plan.
The postmaster general also an
nounced that as a result of the recent
New York robbery, orders had been
issued .~suspending from the service
three New York ~postoffice officials
e. M. Norris, superintendent Of mails;
Henry Lippman, superintendent of
registry, and w. S. Mayer, superin-
tendent of money orders. Investigation
of the New York robbery, he declared,
will be continued.
Some of the marines, Gen. LIE Jeune
said, within "a hours would be on
guard on practically all trains in the
country carrying valuable mail. Men
for duty in the west would report
from San Diego and Mare Island, Cal.
Among the cities to which they will
be SEN are San Francisco and Los
Angeles.
Declaring it was proposed to pro-
tect the United States mails ito the
last postal card, regardless of cost
and sacrifice" Mr.. Hays said he want
ed it known that the ~postoffice de-
partment had declared open warfare
on the crooks and bandits"
During the IL months ended last
April 9, according to Mr.. Hays, $780,
| 900 was stolen from the mails, but in
the six months following the an
nouncement that postal employees
would be armed the total stolen fell
$31S,S69
The advisability of enacting legisla-
| ton urging the government to pay
benefits to the families of postal EN-.
| ployes slain by bandits is understood
to have been discussed by the cabi-
net.

II You Need a Medicine
You Should Have the Best

Have you ever stopped to reason why
it Is that so many products that are ex-
tensively advertised, all at once drop out
of sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason is plain-the article did not fulfill
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to a medicine.
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
benefited, to those who are in need of it.
A prominent druggist says Take for
example DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, a
preparation l have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for in
almost every case it shows excellent re-
suits, as many of my customers testify.
No other kidney remedy has so large a
SALE"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of DR..
Kilmer's Swamp-Root is due to the fact,
so many people claim, that it fulflls al
most every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments; c~orrects uri-
nary troubles and neutralizes the uric
acid which causes rheumatism.
You may receive a sample bottle of
Swamp-Root by Parcels Post. Address
DR.. Kilmer & Co., B~inghamton, N. Y,
and enclose ten cents; also mention this
paper. Large and medium size bottles
for sale at all drug stores. Advertisement
