INSUB0RDINATE
PROFESSOR IS
GIVEN CENSURE
Administration Board Also
Removes Unqualified
Building Inspector.
(Hcrald Special Service.)

Bismarck. N. Dr. Feb. 23.-The
state board of administration has
adopted a resolution censuring Prof.
w. J. Bell Of the Dickinson normal
school for criticizfng Miss Minnie
Nelson, member of the board. The
resolution followed the calling Of at
tention of the board to an article ap-
pearing in the Fargo Courier-News by
w. J. Bell in which the work of Miss
Nelson as state superintendent. her
qualifications and state school system
administration were criticized. The
resolution of censure of the board was
unanimous, according to Chairman
Muir.
Bell Submits Resignation.
Prof. Bell is understood to have
submitted his resignation to President
May Of the normal school, but it is
said by board members that his res
iignation was not demanded by the
board. -
Prof. Bell was instructor in psy-
chology and education, having come
to North Dakota from South Dakota.
He had been at the normal school
ssince; It opened. The action was taken,
it was said BY members. because ii
was an act of INSTRUMENTATION.
Hunt Let Out.
The board has also, it was learned,
let out George Hunt, who had been
acting as inspector of construction
work on the power plant at the Dick
inson normal. The action was taken
on the demand of Joseph A. Kitchen,
ex-officio member of the board, who
held that Mr.. Hunt, who he said was
a farmer living north Of Beach. and
a friend of A. c. Townley, was not
qualified for the work of inspecting the
building, and declaring that such i'm
portant positions as those of inspect
ors Of costly public buildings should
not be made political 'plums. Hunt
was being paid 5000 a month. Another
member of the board said his work
was finished.
The Bell resolution was withheld
from the press until the Courier-News
was given an opportunity first to
print it and failed to do so.

Of the treaty are disappointed and in

clared opinion that ''the agreement

HE DROVE CAR TO
HOME OF TAYLOR

Detroit, Mich, Feb. 2s.-What he
claimed to be the location of the pis-
tol used to kill William Desmond
Taylor in Hollywood, Calf, three
weeks ago, was disclosed to Sheriff
Irving J. Coffin late last night by
Harry M. Fields who declares he
drove the automobile that carried the
film directors slayer to his home.
Fields is in custody here charged
with forgery.
Fields also told the sheriff last
night that the man who paid him
5000 for driving the automobile had
changed a $1,000 bill at Los Angeles
bank the day Taylor was killed. The
money was received from one of two
men driven with a woman to Taylor's
home, Fields said.
Fields was identified tonight by
Deputy Sheril Carl Brooks as an in
ternal revenue agent who worked in
the vicinity of San Diego and Los An
geles - 1915. The veracity of Fields
statementS Is being checked.
