WANTS DEBT IN
TREASURY FIRST
Harding Hopes That Britain Wilt
Hand Over More Money On For
eign Debt.

Washington, Feb. 22-President
Harding has high hopes that by Ju-
ly / Great Britain will have handed
over to the United States $1,000, 00O,-
900 in bonds to refund parts of its
war debt to this country and that the
sale of the securities here will pro-
vide necessary funds to pay the SOL
der bonus. This information was
impaired to members of the house
ways and means committee by Pres
ident Harding at a recent White
House meeting. The president, some
members of the committee believe,
has virtual assurances that the Brit
ish bonds which are in exchange for
temporary obligations and now held,
will be Forthcoming by that time.
This is the reason why they said for
Harding privately expressing his wish
for further delay by congress in the
enactment of the bonus legislation.
Final action will be delayed. The pres
ident does not want any disposition
of the foreign debt fund until it is
actually in the treasury.

PACT REPORTED
TO THE SENATE
United States Promises To Respect
Other Nations Territorial Rights.

Washington, Feb. 22-The senate
foreign relations committee today
was to adopt a reservation to the
four power Pacific pact and order
the treaty reported to the senate.
The senate itself was to begin dis
cussions of the treaty with Japan
settling the status Of American ca
Bile and business interests on the is
land of zap. Announcement that
President Harding will not object to-
the Brandegees reservation to the Pa
cific treaty was made by administra-
ton members Of the foreign relations
committee. Former irreconcilibles de
clared the. reservation added nothing
to the territorial rights of all other
nations on the Pacific as the U. S.
would respect these rights without
the reservation. Senators said this
nation is not bound to anything I'M
usual now that the acceptance Of the
reservation is virtually assured.

WOULD SCRAP AIR
APPROPRIATIONS
Demands Arise In Congress To Scrap
Air Service Appropriations As
Result OF Roma Disaster

Washington, Feb. ga strong de-
mand that all appropriations for the
army and navy dirigibles be scrap
ped at once, arose in congress today
as the result Of the Roma disaster
at Norfolk yesterday which took to-
tai of 81 lives.
Because of the destruction Of the
big airship yesterday and the des-
truction of the ZR-2 over Hull, Eng
land, last August, with a loss of 81
lives and the loss Of several smaller
crafts in recent years, congressional
leaders in close touch with army and
navy affairs believe that this money
should be saved and scores of lives
not risked in developing the dirigi-
bles.

giant sank rapidly, her nose pointing
down at an angle Of As degrees. At
two score feet from the ground the
nose passed over half dozen high
tension wires tearing them to frag-
ments. A second later the dirigible
thrust her nose into mass of scrap
ped iron and collapsed. Flames
swept the wreckage. A huge cloud of
flames shot from the huge gas bag
and lifted it high into the air, driving
away scores of soldiers and civilians
who had rushed to the scene but were
unable to approach. The fireme3
turned in the alarm and picked up
Lieut.. Riley who had jumped from
the ship just before she struck the
wires. His parachute had failed to
open.
The board Of inquiry will conduct
hearings for several days before max
ing it's report to the war department
at Washington. Nobody will ever
know what was the. cause of the ac-
cident, said a high officer at Lang
ley field to the United Press.

with nobody but the smashed plane
and most Of the crew dead, just what
went wrong. ct.

EDITORIAL


That the republican party is doing
something in the way Of reducing
public debt is substantiated by the
following from Congressman Mad
den: "The Republican party has
made good start. 1t came into con-
troll of the congress in 1919. The ex-
penses of the government in that year
were over $19,0OO,O0O,o00. The sue
ceeding year the expenses were ST.
100000, 900; in 1921 $6,5o0,O0O,Ooo;
for the current fiscal year 1922, which
ends June 80, next, the estimated ex-
penditures are S4,o34,O 100000. That
indicates reduction in costs, doesn't
it? We have $975,000,0OO interest
charges, 1881 100000 sinking fund
charge, and $4s9,ooo,ooo of expenses
connected with allotments, alloWan-
ces, compensation, vocational tram
ing, disqualification, insurance and
payments to the dependents of dead
or wounded soldiers who fought IN
the late war, amounting in all to ST.
s45, 900 900, no part of which exist
ed before the war"

TO INVESTIGATE
ROMA DISASTER
Many Killed In Air Disaster. Chief
OF Air Service Investigating Dis
aster To Determine Cause.

Norfolk, Va, Feb. 22-Ar1my air
service experts today started an in
vestigation to determine the cause Of
the disaster to the American dirigi-
BILE in which 81 were killed and elev-
en- injured. Sparks and flames scar
ed the twisted steel remains of the
queen Of American skies as she lay
in the Norfolk mud today. Her char
red remains concealed many secrets
to air service experts who will seek
to probe.
No one will ever know the cause Of
her collapse one officer at Langley
field told the United Press. Practi-
cally every one Of the 81 victims We're
burned to death, officers and physic-
ians said today. Indications were
that few Of the men We're killed by
the fall. Most of the bodies were
identified by trinkets, so thorough
did the flames do their work Of des-
truction.
Major General Patrick, chief of the
army air service at Washington, was
on the ground today with an army
court of inquiry to determine the
blame. While the court will require
several days to complete it's investi-
cation, indications were that the
crew would be exonerated and the
cause of the collapse reported as un-
known.
The concensus of opinion is that
Capt. J. L. Mabry, commander of the
Roma in making the turn over, fail
ed to allow for the increased power.
The rudder broke after the unusual
settling and jammed into the con-
troll. This occurred at height of
$50 feet. The Rona's nose pointed
down and Lieut.. Burt at the elevator
tried desperately to straighten the.
ship. She refused to respond and he
yelled to Capt. Mabry to shut off the
motors. They were shut off one by

Fans Well Pleased With Showing Of
Coach Hurst's Crew. Midgets
Defeats College Giants 22-13.

The local teachers college added
another name to their list of victories
last night when they defeated the
fast Concordia five by score of 13
to %. <~
The visitors was the first to ap-
pear on the floor in the evening and
seemed to handle the ball with much
skill that many of the fans had no
hopes left for the locals. However
Coach Hurst soon turned his war;
riors on the floor under the leader
ship of Capt. Larson and they also
seemed quite able to locate the bas-
ket. After few minutes of warm
ing up by both sides, the signal was
given to start the game. Both teams
were on their toes and ready. to go.
The visitors got the tip off but the
ball rolled off toward the side, one
of the locals picked it up and after
several short and snappy passes the
ball landed in the hands of Person
ius. Although he was almost. in the
center of the floor near the side line
he took sensational shot at the
basket and registered the first shot
Of the game giving the locals the
lead. This was soon followed by a
score of while the visitors were
yet scoreless. About this time one
of the Concordia crew let drive at
the basket from tn ecenter of the
floor and was fortunate enough to
have the ball pass thru the hoop.
This made the score 3 and 2 with
Coach Hurst's crew still on the long
end. From this point on towards the
end of~the first half the game sway
ed back and forth neither team be-
ing able to register field goal. To-
wards the end of the first half both
teams scored a field goal which
brought the score to and S. This
completed the scoring Of the first
half which was one of the fastest
halls witnessed on the local floor this
season.
Both teams came back strong the
second half but the locals again took
the lead. Both teams were guarding
their men close and very few shots
were gained by close shots. During
the last quarter both sides opened up
and the Lutherans took squirt which
brought their score up to 13. The
locals however were busy scoring at
all times and at the end Of the sec
ond half had a grand total OF ~
while the visitors were still trying to
get over the 10 mark. -.
The game, while featured with con-
holding and rough play, was
one of the fastest games witnessed on
the local floor this season. One main
feature of last nights game was the
many sensational shots from the GEN.
ter of the floor which are always
pleasing to the fans, if they regis
ter for the right side as they did in
the game last evening.

Court Convened at $3.50

Court convened at $3.50 this morn
ing to complete the case before the
adjournment for the holiday. This
was vain effort as States Attorney
Green had been taken ill with the pre-
vailing epidemic yesterday afternoon
and the attending physician would
not permit his appearance in court
this morning. Several witnesses
were examined with Assistant States
Attorney C. C. Wattam conducting
the case for the state. Both sides
The weekly times-record. (Valley City, N.D.) 1912-1922, 1922-02-23

rested at 1O:4O and Judge Cooley, in
view of the fact that Mr.. Green would
be unable to appear in court. today,
adjourned court until 1000 o.
clock Thursday morning.
AS both sides have rested the pleas
to the jury will start when court re-
convenes. This will probably take
the greater part of the day but is
is confidently expected that the ju-
-ry will be given the charge by the
court late that day and the defendant
VIM. GUNNER, may expect to know
his fate within a short time after the
case is resumed.
Mrs. Minnie Thompson was recall
ed to the stand by Judge Barnett, for
the defense, and questioned as to
certain statements she is alleged to
have made to Attorney Brickner, in
which she is alleged to have stated
that she was unable to recall whethe2
she had called Andy Brown on the
morning of June 18th or not. How
ever, she stoutly, and most emphati-
cally maintained that she had not
called him that morning and was Ger
tain that her memory was correct In
this particular. T..
Deny That Storlie Opened Room
Capt. Welsh denied that John Stor
lie had opened the door to room 40
on the 7th Of June with a bent hair
pin. This testimony was directly OPP
posed to the testimony as given by
Mr.. Storlie yesterday afternoon. Of
ficer AL. Mcdonald corroborated the
testimony of Capt. Welsh.
Sheriff Kraemer was returned to
the stand and asked some prefunc-
tory questions regarding the meet
ing in the Cass county Jail at the
time GUNNER is alleged to have made
the admissions which have been read
in court.
Jas. Milligan was returned to the
stand and questioned regarding the
meeting at the Cass county Jail. He
St@;t5.! tat he had not said "Don't liz
to me, 3d. you" but had lost
his temper when GUNNER persisted in
lying to them and had called him
"G-d- liar. Under cross ex-
animation Milligan said that this in
cident did not take place until after
the completion Of the taking of ad-
missions by GUNNER and after Green
and Kraemer had left the room. He
denied that he had gotten angry be-
cause he was disappointed that they
had not gotten more out of GUNNER
and was trying to force further ad-
missions from him, but said that it
made him sore to think that GUNNER
would Lie to them the way he had. He :
also stated that there was no moving
of chairs during the time of taking
the admissions and that the lights
were not, switched on and off until
after the taking Of admissions was,
completed.

Green's Notes Complete

It was agreed between opposing
counsel that; testimony which Green
would give, were he able to appear in
court, should be read to the jury and
Attorney Wattam read the statement
that the shorthand notes were taken
at the time the admissions were made
that they were taken as the questions
were asked and the answers given,
that the notes were continuous and
complete, that no part of the con-
versation had been omitted and that,
the lights had not been turned off
during the time the questions were
being asked.
At this point the state recessed.
There Is James Farrell, Willmar
A. P. Bergeson, former chief, of po-
lice of Willmar, Mimi, was called to
the stand by the defense and stated
that he had been chief of police there
in 1918, that while he was on the po-
lice force there, there was man in
Willnar who was employed by the
Great Northern as brakeman, and
whose name was James Farrell. Jas
Farrell had been around Willmar dur
ing the summer and fall of 1918 but
had left there and the witness had
not seen him since.
Under cross examination the wit
ness said that he did not know wheth-
er James Farrell had gone by the
name of r. F. Farrell or not. He des-
cribed James Farrell as being a man
about S feet, z inches in height,
weight about $50 pounds, medium
build, round faced, dark complexion
ed and about 81 to 30 years of age.
Judge Barnett showed the witness
a photograph Of r. F. Farrell and
asked him if that was likeness of
James Farrell. The witness said
that it was not. This was objected to
by the state and the objection was
sustained, but Judge Barnett had
gotten the matter before the jury.
Clair Brickner was placed on the
stand by the defense and said that
Mrs. Minnie Thompson had told him,
less than ten days ago, that her mind
was a perfect blank as to whether
she had called Andy Brown on the
Of June 7th or not. He also
said that, in a conversation which he
had with her in September, she had
stated that she was not sure wheth-
er she had called Brown or not.
At this point both sides announced
that they rested and Judge Cooley
adjourned court at 10:40.
