prepare plans for a regular catboat,
fifteen feet long and six feet wide.
Since last March Maj. Carter has
employed all his spare time in the
construction of the boat. He chose
his garden for a workshop, because
there was ample room, and his work.
ing time was limited by his daily
uuties at the War Department He
procured all the material. cut the

the mast in the bow and the rudder

caulking and other details too nu-
merous to mention. He was on the
Job every morning and every after
noon and on all Sundays and holi-
days. His only assistant was Mrs.
Carter, who helped handle the ma
terials and contributed materially to
the result. She loves the water, too,
and was a most enthusiastic helper
in the building. operations. After
nearly four months work the boat is
now finished, the last work done yes
tcTday being to put the centerboard
in place.
Maj. Carter plans to ship his boat
by rail to Westerly at once and put
IL into the water as soon as he can
get there himself. in the next week or
two, when his vacation begins. The
boat rests on a log platform built
for that purpose and will be carried
to the stations IN this city and at
Westerly by auto trucks. Maj. Carter
wants to superintend the launching
himself. but Will divide the duties

Modest Of Achievement.
Maj Carter is very modest about
his bodybuilding achievement. From
his friends, however, IL was learned
that he is very fond of all water
sports. and spends the greater part Of
his summer vacations in sailing, fish,
ing and bathing in the quiet waters
of Shelter bay, near Westerly. r. L.
1t appears he acquired that taste in
boyhood, while resident of this city
and spending the summer months on
the eastern shore of Maryland near
Chester river. He also had natural
taste for mechanics and construction.
He went to the Military Academy In
1900. Graduating four years later
was assigned to the cavalry. In July,
1920, he was promoted to a majority,
and in the following month was de-
tailed to the adjutant generals de-
partment. with which he Is still con-
nected. During the world war he
served as lieutenant colonel Of in
fantry.
Throughout all that period he re-
tained his interest In aquatics and
mechanics. After he returned from
France in 1920 he rented a cottage
at Westerly and spent the succeed
ing summers there sailing and fish,
Ing on Shelter bay. The small SAIL
boats he rented never entirely salts

TO OPERATE
u. S. OWNED SHIPS

Washington. June 6.-The shipping
board decided to proceed with direct

composed of Chairman Lasker and
Commissioner O'Connor and Thomp-
son, was named to map out admins

Under a resolution adopted by the
board the committee will prepare a
plan to be submitted to the shipping
board with a view to the formation
of such companies or organizations
to be owned and controlled by the
shipping board, as it may ascertain to
be necessary for the purpose Of oper-
ating sufficient vessels to fully cover
world trade routes under the Amer.

possible economy and efficiency in
direct government operation"
Decision to name the committee
was reached after Commissioner
Lissner, who had been IN New York
confering with some. of those who
submitted bids for routes not now
operated by the government, reported
that only "thrce or four promising
bids remain"

SEES INCREASED INTEREST IN
NO. DAKOTA AMONG IOWA FARMERS

Belief is expressed by P. o. Will
liams and Miss Leila Diesem, in Iowa
for several weeks for the state i'm
migration department, that North Da-
kota will receive many 1owans as
citizens of the state in the next few
years.
"A number of people have signified
their intention of locating in North
Dakota as soon as business becomes
better and money is more plentiful"
Miss Diesem wrote. "Due to the
land imitation in Iowa during the past
few years, many farmers have be-
come swamped with debts, having in
vested too heavily. and are much cast
down over present conditions. The
renter says he must move to some
other place where he can hope at
some future time to own home Of
his own. Upon investigation all agree

COURT HOLDS
CASES UPON
INDICTMENTS
Supreme Court Takes Appeal
For Reinstatement Under
Consideration

The supreme court today had under
consideration whether or not it would
assume jurisdiction in the case in
which the state asks the court to ex-
crcisc it's supervisory powers and re-
view the action of District Judge
George Mckenna in setting aside 35
Scandinavian American bank wreck
ing cases.
Arguments lasting an entire court
day, were made by w. S. Lauder and
Charles f. Wolfe Of Wahpeton. and
John Burke Of Burke, representing
the defendants in the case, and At
torncy General George Shafer and
George A. Bangs, special assistant
attorney general.
Attorneys for the defense objected
to consideration of the entire case
without the court issuing writ ask
ing Judge Mckenna to submit the
record in the case, but denied siren
uously that they sought to delay the
case. Judge Mckenna made no re-
turn to the notice of the state that
it would apply to the supreme court
yesterday for a review Of his deci-
sion. The defense attorneys insisted
it was not incumbent upon the judge
to do so without a writ from the su-
preme court
The arguments hinged largely upon
the jurisdiction of the court. Mr..
Burke contended that it would be an
abuse Of discretion for the court to
assume jurisdiction because Judge
Mckcnna's action was not prelim-
mary action, and declared it was a
rule of appellate courts that they
could not require a judge to reverse
himself, and that was asked in this
case.
Mr. Bangs said the state was anxi-
Gus for an early disposition of the
case, and thought thes record before
the court was sufficient He said
transcript had been prepared by the
state for Judge Mckenna in order to
facilitate the matter.
