FORTUNE FOR SUSSEX FAMILY
If Reports Coming to McCabe Family
of an English Estate are True


Heirs of the late Pemberton Nc
Cabe, who is reported to have died in
England leaving a large estate, of
whom there are nearly one hundred In
the vicinity of Selbyville, have deter
mined to make an investigation of the
reported millions and strong fight
for the estate if the story proves cor
rect. Monday a committee appointed
by meeting of the heirs sent to Phil
adelphia to confer with the English
consul to ascertain if there was an un-
settled McCabe estate in England.
Their next step will be to employ a
firm of English solicitors to fight for
the estate, each of the heirs having
pledged to contribute to the fund be-
ing raised in Baltimore hundred. The
facts concerning the late Pemberton
McCabe coinciGed singularly with the
facts of the unclaimed estate. McCabe
was a Baltimore hundred trader and
soon after the Civil War went on a
trip to England but never returned.
AS he was unmarried and left only
brother and sister it was supposed he
had been lost at sea as no word was
ever heard from him after the English
trip. AS his brother lived to be more
than ninety years of age it is believed
that the Pemberton McCabe must be
the one from Baltimore hundred.

EASTON HITS PHONE COMPANY
Demands a S1.OO Year Tax on Every
Telephone Pole in Town Limits


The Mayor and Council of Easton,
Md, have made public their stand in
regard to the Chesapeake and Poto-
mac Telephone franchise. Legal pro
ceedings will be used to compel the
telephone company to accept the ordi-
nance offranchise passed in Nav last.
Last May the telephone company sub
mitted franchise to the Mayor and
Council asking for a perpetual grant
and without offering any revenue to
the town for the privilege of doing
business other than taxes onh oldings
in Easton. This the town officials
turned down and later submitted {.
franchise in the nature of an ordi-
nance, which the telephone company in
turn refused to accept. Since then the
matter has been dropped until about a
week or so ago, when a lengthy COM
municatiOn was received by the city
officials asking for a hearing by the
telephone company. In this letter it
was stated that the company was will
ing to accept a limited franchise, but
could not possibly meet the demands
of the officials in paying a dollar a
year for all poles in the town over a
certain number. Now the officials
have ordered the town attorney to
forthwith proceed by any and all
speedy legal processes to uphold the
authority of this body and to prose-
cute and defend the rights of the peo-
pie of Easton."

were Mr.. Ives, j. L. Nordholne, assist
ant manager of the Fargo branch; B.
K. Jenkins, of the Oliver plow com
pany which furnishes equipment which
may be used with Fordson tractors,
and representative of the Lincoln
Motor Car company. All Ford dealers
now have sales contracts for the dis
tribution of Lincoln cars.
Many of the dealers visited the plant
of the Copelin Motor company here,
being shown modern methods installed
by +. A. Copelin in the handling Of
Ford products.
Mr.. Ives was toastmaster at the ban
quet. A number of dealers made talks

Many Phases Are Before Okla.
hOma Authorities in Case

Oklahoma City, April 6.-Various
phases Of the Staying here Of Lieut..
Col. Paul Beck, assistant commandan!
OF Post field, Fort Sill, Oklahoma,
early Tuesday morning in the home of
Jean Day, oil man and prominent at
torney, were being developed today by
county officials.
X-ray photographs definitely settled
the question as to whether Beck was
shot. Shattered fragments of bull
let were disclosed in his head.
Day has declared he struck Beck
over the head with the revolver he OBJ
tained after he returned home and
found the aviator attempting to as
sault Mrs. Day. The revolver was
discharged, he asserts.
Lieut.. COL Beck was absolutely Sob
er, Day said. County officials were
trying to develop another phase of the
killing. It was why Beck, with the
reputation Of an army officer to uphold,
did not leave the Day home after Day,
as he asserts, passed through the room
on his way upstairs to get his gun.

BELIEVE STATE
CANSELLB0ND
now ABOVE PAR
Administration Feels Pulse of
Bond Market and Finds
Favorable Response
MAY MAKE SALES SOON PROBE IS CO

Belief that bonds Of North Dakota
can be sold above par in the future is
expressed by members of the state
administration. Both changed con-
dition in the bond market and a chang
ed attitude towards the state on the
part of eastern investors have created
a condition that the administration
believes will reflect favorably in the
offering of future issues.
1t is considered likely that in the
near future the state will offer for
sale large block of farm loan bonds.
1t is probable that sale Of bonds may
be made, with delivery dates based up
on the rapidity with which farm loans
are negotiated. There is an advant-
age in sale of bonds in large lots but
consequent disadvantage to the
state in accumulated interest charges
if funds from bond sales cannot be
used without delay. "
Governor Nestos has been engaged
in the task Of preparing the way. for
future bond issues and for sale of
municipal and other bonds from North
Dakota by conducting quiet "boost-
er" campaign in behalf of the state.
One Of the results Of the campaign
pointed out here is receipt of word
that two "ticker" services which carry
news throughout the eastern financial
world carried ''story" to the effect
that representatives Of large eastern
investors had sent in report favor
able to North Dakota for the first time
in six years. The story" according
to word reaching heret also was carried
in the financial columns of large
eastern newspapers. Z.
The net result of the investigation
of the situation in the state by repre-
sentatives Of eastern investors and
the booster campaign" carried on is
that statements already have been
made to the administration that under
present conditions bonds can be sold
at a better figure than heretofore.
One member of the Industrial Com
mission expressed the belief that
North Dakota could sell state bonds
at 5 IL per cent interest at premium
Of two points
After the accession of the present
members Of the Industrial Commission
the bond contract previously made for
the sale Of $12 100000 bonds was mod
flied. so that 100000 of real estate
bonds were sold at 5 S-4 per cent, the
previous contract for all being at
per cent and $6,l00,000 of bonds with
drawn from the contract. The admin
istration is left free to dispose of this
amount of bonds, if necessary, at the
best figure obtainable at this time.
OF this amount $4,50O,00O were real
estate bonds and $1,000,O0O mill and
elevator bonds:
1t is the plan of the administration
to issue mill and elevator bonds in the
futuro in 100000 lots, as work prog
resses on the Grand Forks project, if
possible, so as to avoid accumulated
interest charges and avoid having idle
money on hand. The same plan will
be used in disposing of farm loan
bonds, if possible. The farm loan de-
partment of the Bank OF North Dakota
is now making appraisements and
loans at rate that may necessitate
new issues Of bonds in the near fu-
ture, it is said.

defeated and the measure was put
through as framed, 222 to 73.
Representative Walsh, Republican,
Massachusetts, a member of the Ju-
dietary committee which wrote the Or
iginal Volstead act and who offered
the motion to recommit, declared he
believed now as then that the enforce
ment law was made too drastic at the
start
Warning was sounded to prohibi-
tlonists by many members, including
Representative Mann, Republican, II.
linois, veteran of the house, that
they were going too far, that there
was danger of disrupting the whole
system of law enforcement and tha,
jurors would be unwilling to convict
those who ought to go to Jail if it also

32APPLICATI0NS
AREF0RWARDED

: Thirty-two applications of Burleigh
county farmers for seed loans from
the government seed loan office were
forwarded to Grand Forks today by
John de Jong, who yesterday assumed
the position of county agent of Bur-
leigh county.
The total amount asked by the farm
ers is $4,000. Because of the govern
ment regulations it is expected that
many farmers will not get loans, and
the amount of applications will be
much larger than the amount to be
loaned. 1t is urged that farmers get
their applications in quickly.
