gave one of the deputy sherffs guard

DR.. Tyson further stated that no
such weapon is allowed to be used
about the wards by either patients or
attendants. the patients being shaved

Delay Decision
On Packer Merger
(Bv the Associated Press)

(By the Associated Press)
Washington, Nov. 25. - Although
the various interested agencies of the
federal government have about COM
pleted their individual Investigations
into the proposed merger of the
packing concerns of = Armour and
Morris, there were indications today
that, no final policy would be decid-
ed on until there had been full eK-
change of opinion among high ad-
ministration officials generally.
1t was considered probable in
sope quarters that todays cabinet
meeting might advance the question
toward the point Of discussion.
It, is known that arguments bo.h
in favor and against the, merger
have been laid before the depart
ments of agriculture and the depart
ment of justice.
Whether the administration policy
will be determined before Senator
La Toilette, Republican, Of Wiscon7
sin, has an opportunity to call up
his resolution asking for full in
formation about the merger, is a
question which is causing cons!d-
erable speculation at the capitol.

NO! PENALTY
IS PROVIDED
Holding Ones Self Out as Ac'
cOuntant Not Crime

The cases against Herman G.
Brissman, of Bishop, Brissman and
company, St. Paul accountants, which
were instituted at the time Mr.. Briss-
man and employees were making ex-
aminations of various state indus
ftries for the Nestos administration
shortly after it took Office year
ago, we're disposed of by the su-
preme court here, in upholding the
contentious of Mr.. Brissman's attor-
neys.
sBrissman was charged in one case
with representing himself to be a
certified public accountant in North
Dakota when he had not been iicens-
ed by the state board of accountancy,
and in another case with violating
the false advertising law in holding
himseuf out as such. Both cases
were instituted by Joseph Coshlan,
and member of the state board, be-
fore Justice of the Peace R. H.
Thistlethwaite. Mr.. Brissman was
arrested in the first instance at 8
o'clock at ninght. The cases were
removed to the district court on GER
tioriari proceedings, and Judge Nucs-
sic held with Mr. Brissman his de-
cision being affirmed
In the first case the supreme court
holds that "inasmuch as the statute
relating to accountancy does not
either declare that it is a crime for
one to practice, or prescribe any pun
ishment or penalty whatever upon
one who practices, as an accountant
without having received a certificate
from the board Of accouhtancy man.
isfestly no punishment can be pre-
scribed by the courts Hence, it is
obvious that the alleged criminal
complaint did not charge crime at

WOULD CLOSE
DEER SEASON.;
LIMIT. DUCKS
Members of State Fish and
Game Commission For
Changes

Many sportsmen in the state are
urging a closed season on deer again
for several years and changing of
the opening of the duck shooting sea-
son from September is to October /,
Elmer Judd, chairman Of the fish and
game commission, said in an inter
view here. Mr.. Judd and C. E. Man
ming of the commission were here
on business with state officials.
The state board will join in the
request for the closed season on deer
to protect the fast diminishing num-
bers, Mr.. Judd said, and will also
support a demand for the change of
the opening Of the duck season to
October l. There are too many ducks
killed in the "fapper" stage during
the last two weeks Of September, Mr..
Judd said. =
The state board is now making
preliminary surveys on plan for the
conservation of waters Of many
streams in the state in which fish
may be propagated successfully, Mr..
Judd said. In many streams there is
not sufficient water left after, the
spring run-off to keep alive large
numbers Of fish, Mr.. Judd said. The
board believes that the building Of
reservoirs or dams at such points as
Arrow Wood Lake and Jim Lake,
which are, he said, widening Of tbs
Jim River, would make possible ex-
cellent fishing grounds. 1t is not
proposed. he added, that the board
should do this work but that legis-
lation should be enacted to make pos
sible the building of the, dams OF
reservoirs by local communities.
