MAYOR AND EDUCATION

It is to be presumed that Mayor bazaar and dcmonsfltion by the local Junior Achievement council were spoken adviscdly, Ho asserted that he was back of educational move ments and is quoted as saying; 'Nou arc building q better foundation for the next generation, and the pro- motors of the work and the club lead CTS should be congratulated"
 And then followed Mayor Paones- sa's solemn promise. q, as mayor of the city of New Britain, win promise, and faithfully promise, that l will do anything in my power to promote the interests of this generation anG the future generations of it's citizens
 These were not mere words. Th2re was no necessity for Mayor paonessa to go to the lengths he has gone in this regard unless the matter i.s close to his heart. There were no votes to be gained. There was nothing for him to gain other than the good will of the people interested in educational work and tteir confidence to the end that they will consult him and seek his help when 1t is needed.
 The promise was an indication of fine spirit, It will encourage men and women interested in welfare work in this city to go ahead with their plans confident of the sympathetic support from the mayor. The promise should not encourage them to seek to estab- fish organizations more costly than the city can afford. It should not i'm pei them to trespass upon the prof. fered good offices. It should, on the other hand, encourage them to carry out their plans efficiently and show the mayor that they are deserving of the trust he is so ready to give them.

SHOULD
BACK OFFICERS,
JOHNSON SAYS
Attorney General Declares Sher-
ifs, States Attorneys
Ready to Act

States Attorneys and Sheriffs in
North Dakota generally are anxious
and willing to enforce the law, and
desire the cooperation and the back
ing OF the people of their commun-
tiles in their efforts, Attorney-Genef-
al Sveinbjorn Johnson declared today,
in summing up replies received by him
to his letters to states attorneys and
sheriffs calling upon them for law en-
forcement, announcing the dec ision
not to- expend the states money in
hiring special assistants when it can
be avoided.
"All the replies have been very
friendly and the officers express them.
selves as anxious to enforce all the
laws, including the prohibition law,
and believe they can do so if local
sentiment is favorable to them,' said
the attorney general.
Mr.. Johnson appealed generally for
strong public sentiment in favor OF
the law-enforceing efforts of the Of
fcers of the various counties.
"The most effective law enforce
,nent is in those, places where the
people most actively support officers
in their efforts to enforce the law
said Mr.. Johnson. 1T is unjust for
people locally to- blame officers for
failing to enforce the law as the peo-
pie themselves either fail or refuse to
help them by giving evidence and by
demanding honest, competent and
fearless jurors and in every way sus
tanning efforts at law enforcement at
home"

Admits Misstatements


GUNNER on cnoss-eXaminatiOn said
that he had made misstatements to
the officials concerning the presence
Of John Myers, roOmer in the hotel
being in the lobby when Miss Wick
registered and also that he had made
misstatements concerning converse.
tion he had credited to Myers in the
early stages of the investigation.
The state was seeking to lay fOun-
dation for the argument that GUNNER
tried to shift suspicion from himself
to Myers.
GUNNER said that when Officer Mel
son, of the Fargo police, testified that
he, GUNNER, had said that Brown was
with him at the hotel Nelson was not
telling the truth.
The defendant also said that A. H.
Leimbacher, Fargo hotel propri-
etor and Fred Kraemer, sheriff Of
Cass county, had told an untruth with
reference to statements they testi-
fled to.
Says Sheriff swore Falsely
Also GUNNER insisted that Sheriff
Kracmer had not testified truthfully
when he said that he (Gummer) had
told him that on the night Of the
murder he had met Andy Brown at
the depot near the Prescott hotel.
Also that the sheriff testified falsely
when he said that he (Gummer) had
said that Brown was in the hotel only
five Or ten minutes.
GUNNER admitted that he had not
informed the officers correctly when
he told them he had gone to the train
at 1 a. m. the night of the murder
and that he had not informed them
correctly when he told them that
George O'Brien was in the hotel
about 12:40 and took letter to the
depot for him.
GUNNER also said that E. Kincaid
had testified falsely when he quoted
Gunner as stating that he (Gummer)
had friend with him until 2 or 3 in
the morning Of the murder.
GUNNER was still under cnoss-ex-
animation when court adjourned until
2 o'clock
Second Day on Stand
Today was Gummer's second day
on the witness stand, and he was
given hard grilling by the states at
torney today.
On the witness stand yesterday af-
ternoon, he denied that he opened the
door of Room 80 with the key that
had been given to Miss Wick. He said
the key he used was given to him by
Fred Lawrence as nearly as he could
recall.
GUNNER described the condition in
the room when he and Richard Pick
Eering, Of the Fargo police force, ar.
rived and said that it was Pickering
and not himself, who first advanced
the theory of suicide and that Pick
ering and he afterwards agreed that
it was murder.

GUNNER said he did not change any

September

Washington, Feb. 16.-The Ameri-
can Relief Administration expects to
withdraw from it's undertaking in the
famine stricken district in Russia by
next September, Edgar Rickard, OF
that organization, said today, after he
had, conferred with Secretary Hoover.
BY that date Mr.. Rickard said the
Russians should be able to feed them
selves with the proceeds of their har-
vest. The American Relief Admins
tration is sending to Russia 10000
tons of seed wheat for planting this
spring, he said, which is expected to
insure an ample crop. In addition be-
tween five and six million adults will
be given the daily supply of corn meal
or grits sufficient to feed them until
the new crop comes in. -.. l..
More than 100000 children. are be.
ing supplied with a balanced ration
now, Mr.. Rickard said, and this num-
be.r will have been increased by the

Reports Say
FOR SOUTHWESTERN N. d.

Steps we're under way to secure i'm
mediate relief from trying conditions
in southwestern North Dakota where
heavy and continued snow has caused
a serious shortage Of feed for cattle

railroad would cut the rate on hay
shipments One-half providing state
and county authorities made arrange
ments that would insure the benefit
going to the consumer, was communi-
eating with county commissioners
and county agents.
A telegram received from Henry
Blakelee, of the Northern Pacific rail
road, said: "In matter of supplying
hay in southwestern portion OF the
state the Northern Pacific will apply
one.half tariff conditional on some ar
rangement through state or county
boards that will insure consumer ben
eft of concession we make. We are
already advised that prices are being
advanced at Dakota points, predicted
on distress of people. Think hay

ty officials on proper certificate OF
these officials. Reduced rate effective
TO March 81"
Governor Nestos is calling upon the
county commissioners and county
agents in the territory affected to
make arrangements in accordance
with the conditions Of this Offer
The Governor condemned any at
tempt by any person having hay 20
sell to take advantage of conditions to
force the price to an unreasonable
figure.
The continued cold has made the
present winter an exceedingly hard
one on range cattle The feed which
the cattle can pick up on the rang IS

ficent. Some reports have been re.
ceived that cattle are dying for lack
Of feed. The western part Of the
state is covered by. two feet of snow

Ione on CATTLE.
The territory most severely affect

and New England branch of the Mil
waukee. Commissioners of the uoun-
ties of Morton, Grant, Hettinger
Stark and possibly Adams, Bowman
and Slope are expected to be concern
ed in the relief shipments of hay.
There also is said to be- need among
individuals, and these agencies will
distribute clothing and food, the Gov
