MISS NELSON
RUM0R DENIED
Governor Declares He Knows OF
No Basis For Report

Investigation of reports emanating
from the Nonpartisan league conven-
ton that there was disagreement be-
tween Miss Minnie ]. Nelson, state
superintendent of public instruction,
and Governor Nestos or others OF the
state administration, has brought de-
malls Of the reports.
Asked concerning the reports Miss
Nelson said: 1T is news to me. So
far as l am aware it is absolutely
false"
Governor Nestos denied upon ques-
tioning that there was disagreement
between him and Miss NELSON on
questions of policy.
81 am sure that as far as l am con-
cerned, there is no trouble brewing"
Governor Nestos said "and there has
been no indication as far as l know
that Miss Nelson's attitude toward the
administration is not friendly. We
have discussed a number OF matters,
and have always agreed upon the pol
icies that ought to be pursued. Both
of us believe in maintaining high edu-
cational standards, and the greatest
efficiency of our common schools;
both of us believe in the need of we'll
trained teachers and that good
teacher should have a good salary.
The laborer is worthy Of his hire, and
that is most assuredly true when it
comes to those who are training the
future citizens of the commonwealth.
We also believe in the great need of
economy in the government Of the
state and in the administration OF
every political subdivision within the
state, and do not believe that these
economies should be exercised in one
department or field of endeavor alone,
but that we must try to find every
method of saving money that can be
accomplished without injuring or SER
iously handicapping the essential in
terests involved, and we believe that
by having every political subdivision
and the states administration in all
of its departments cooperating along
this line that great saving may re-
suit, and the tax burden materially
1iphfoned" "

STATEMENT OF
JUDGE COLE IS
HELD UNUSUAL
Attorney General Johnson Com.
ments on Statement of Judge
In T0wnley Case
MISLEADING, HE SAYS

Statement made by Judge A. T. Cole
regarding the Townley hearing in
Fargo is declared misleading by Tt
torney General Johnson. His atten-
tion today called To Judge Coles
statement given to the Fargo Courier
News the, Attorney General said:
1T is very unusual, to say the
least, for q judge to give statement
to the press, commenting on the evi-
dence produced in case heard before
him, but since that has been in the
ToWnley case, regret to note tnat
such statement is misleading in some
respects, and calls for some explana-
ton. The record in the case does not
show, as the Judge says, that the
Sisal Trust did its banking with the
Scandinavian American Bank but
only shows that one Harvey drew
drafts on Hastings personally for
sums aggregatlng $9000U0, that Has.
tings paid such drafts out of the funds
of the bank, and covered the shortage
by inserting notes executed in name
OF the Sisal Trust by himself, all with
out authority first obtained from the
Board OF Directors or Discount Com
mittee, as required by law. Neither
does the record support the statement
that such loan was removed within a
reasonable time which was done by
payment, but on the contrary, it shows
that the debt represented thereby was
renewed on April 7th, 1919, by the
giving of new note for 100000 by
the Sisal Trust
And while the record in this case
does not disclose payment of such re-
newal note, it is matter OF common
knowledge as we'll as of public record,
that such note was not paid until
November 3rd, 1919, after the Bank
had besn closed by the State Banking
Board, and that the existence of the
Sisal paper in the bank was bne of the
contributing causes of such closing
Hence, to say that the bank was not
deprived of it's money temporarily,
and that the, bank lost nothing but
was the gamer is extremely mislead-
ing and not justified by the record
facts"

Charles / Who Made Two Lose

Is Dead
TRIED TO REGAIN RULE
Made. Two Spectacular At
tempts in Effort to Regain
Control of Empire
TRIED TO REGAIN RUL]

Funchal Madeira, April 1.-(By the
Associated Press. Former Emperor
Charles of Austria Hungary died here
today.
Charles was taken i'll at his home in
exile slightly more. than a, week ago.
He was first said to be suffering from
fever but direct advices from Funchal
on March % announced that his
malady was bronchial pneumonia and
later it was stated that he was suffer-
ing from pneumonia with cerebral
complications.
Charles, and his wife Zita, were sent
into exile by the tentente allies after
he had made spectacular attempts to
regain the throne either of Austria or
Hungary. Thereafter he was kept a
political prisoner on the Portuguese
island 400 miles off the African coast.
Although his situation in exile there
resembled in some respects that of
Napoleon at St. Helena, Charles and
Zita occupied much more comfort
able position for they were given a
pleasant home in the beautiful city of
Funchal whose residents treated them
with friendly consideration.
Ex-Empress Zita had left her chill
dren in Switzerland, and when one of
them was taken i'll the allied govern.
ment permitted her to return to that
country and visit them.
Emperor Charles of Austria, king OF
Hungary, was an unprOmising major
in an Austrian infantry regiment when
the shot of the assassin who killed
the Archduke Francis Ferdinand on
June %, 1914, made him the heir ap-
parent to the throne in the "HaWk's
Castle" on the banks of the River Aar.
Two hundred or more monarchs OF
this historic house of Hapsburg, ruled
for centuries the land of Magyar, Slav
and Teuton-centuries Of blOOdshed,
tyranny and aggression-and sleep
their last sleep in tae wonderful
crypt of the Capauchin church in Wen
ma. Emperor Francis Joseph, the aged
predecessor of the youthful Charles,
seeing "the handwriting on the WALL
had hoped to unite the discordant ele-
ments among his 50,000,0OO subjects
whose racial antagonisms were compli-
Gated by the absorption by Austria Of
the Serbian provinces of Bosnia and
in 1908.
It was the Archduke Francis Ferdi-
nand's determination to bring about d
triune empire made up of Magyar, Slav
and German states, it is generally be-
lieved, that led to his assassination In
Saraievo. Francis Ferdinand feared
the dual monarchy might be ended up,
on the death of Francis Joseph by the
Intervention of Russia or Germany and
sought to forestall it.
