:# Bismarck. N. D., Jan. 81, 1922.
Mr.. Sheriff n States Attorney:
There was created by the legisla-
ture of 1921 a department known as
h state licensing department.. to be
0perated in connection with the office
Ofsthe attorney general. 1t was made
the duty. of this department to APP
point inspectors to assist in the en-
fOrcement of the laws regulating and
licensing pool halls, theaters, bowling
S@Ssl u USP0A IAAlSIIS oAS was
required to aid local officers in en-:
forcing the laws against the manu-
facture and distribution of i%ntoxicat-
tRg liquor. Fees were collected from
the businesses subject to its regula-
ton. and made available to pay the
expenses of operating the department.
Mp to and including the 23rd Of
November, 1921, there had been col
lected in licenses the sum of $69, 006.-

Heould be expected up to June, 1922.
When I anne into Office all this had
been expended, and, in addition, I
found bills aggregating $5,O0S. 01
which had not been paid. This de-
partment therefore has been ham,
strung, and cannot function to any
great extent. except in a general
supervisory capacity. as far as the en-
forcement of these various prohibitory
avs is concerned.

sS1 am appealing to you, as the duly

else the utmost energy in enforcing
particular jurisdiction. There are two
constabfes in every township (you
can get their names from the clerk

policemen in every city, and you

In a warehouse at Bismarck we
have approximately 1,4OO sacks Of
plaster reported wholly unfit for use."
The report takes up in some detail
certain Of the reports made by the
Equitable Audit company. showing the
absolute failure of concern to install
a proper accounting system for the as
ISOLATION. This failure appears to
have been either due to the lack of
ability on the part Of the company
or incompetency or worse on the part
of the employees of the association.
In conclusion the report says:
.,,. Dismal Failure.
THE limits of this report forbid the
detail that ought to be given TO the
management Of h association. The
handling of this association is a pic
ture o. the most dismal failure. .ilc
law, as it now and even il admins
tered by skillful and competent men
offers no hope of success. The whole
scheme has not enough suhstan lal
merit in it to form the basis of a
fatuous dream.
"In all it's varied activities this as
ISOLATION measured up to it's oppor-
that was by using every dollar in
sight regardless Of where the dollar
came from. Even a. careful study
does not reveal, one single instance
where the management missed an op-
portunity to blunder. and in this blum
dering the Industrial commission, the
management Of the association and
h Bank of North Dakota are alike
culpable though not in equal degree"

PIE BAKERS ATTACK
VOLSTEAD MEASURE

Chicago, Oct 31.--In a new attack
on the Vested act by the old Victory
distillery Judge George T. Page in
federal district could have been asked
to restore mince pies TO their pre-
prohibition standing when brandy
sauce was legitimate ingredient.
Attorneys for the distillery contend
ed the Volsted act is unconstitutional
if it prohibits the sale of spirituous
liquors for cooking purposes. They
suggested that liquors have great
value as an aid to the culinary arts
and by some cooks are deemed es.
sential especially in the preparation of
mincemeats.
Action was directed against Pro.
hibition Commissioner Haynes and
Charles Gregory, federal prohibition
director for Illinois, who, it is con
tended, refused to issue permits for
the removal Of liquor for cooking anl
nothing more.

MONMOUTH RESIDENT TRACED
THRU LETTER QUITTING PRES.
iDENcY OF STONE COMPANY.

Chicago, Oct. 31.-A new mystery
in the disappearance Of J. Howard
Jayne, former state legislator and po,
litical leader, was revealed yesterday
afternoon when his resignation as
president and director OF the Mon
mouth Stone company, $l,000,0O0
corporation was read and accepted at
special meeting of the other direc-
tors.
The resignation was dated oct II,
a week before his disappearance but
the fact that IL was in the possession
OF the directors did not become known
until yesterday. Mr., Jayne gave as
the cause of his withdrawal poor
heats, which was rapidly becoming
worse.
Attorney George s. Tracy, a direc.
tor Of the Merchants National bank
Of Burlington. Ia, was selected 10
succeed Jayne. He gave out a state.
ment saying the finances Of the cor
poration were in sound condition, add
ing that no stakeholder need feel any
concern for the safety OF his money.
The fact that Mr.. Jayne wrote his
resignation two weeks ago was taken
to indicate he planned at that time
TO drop from sight and some Of his
friends said he probably was merely
seeking a rest at some sanitariuu
. Mrs. Lynette Jayne, his wife, who
is directing "A search for him. denied
that there had ever been any discord
in their domestic affairs.
I'VE have been pals for thirty
years" she said, "and never has there
been any trouble between us. Ger
tain persons have tried to insinuate
TO me that Mr.. Jayne left because OF
family trouble. but that is absurd
Mrs. Jayne still entert aims the be
lief that her husband is being held
