SUE STATE FOR
DEFAULT UPON
20-YEAR LOAN
Administrator Of Andrew
Carnegie's Estate Insti-
tuteS Law Suit

Suit for $4,000 and interest has
been instituted in the Burleigh coun-
ty district court by the Home Trust
Company Of Hoboken, N. j. executor
Of the last will and testament of An
drew Carnegie, steel magnate and
philanthropist, against the state of
North Dakota for alleged failure to
repay funds advanced for the North
Dakota Industrial School and School
for Manual Training at Glendale.
An arrangement was entered into
with the board Of trustees of the Ell
lendale institution in 1902 for a
$4,000 loan in exchange for revenue
warrants payable on or before 20
years from date, the plaintiff sets
out. The revenue warrants, the conf
plant says, were executed by Thom-
as Seton, chairman, and B. r. Crab
tree, secretary, of the board Of trus-
tees, other members Of the board
being c. j. Sturgeon, w. H. Boomer,
j. B. Taylor, Andrew Weber, F. B.
Cannon.
The money, the plaintiff sets out,
was to be used to build and equip
a building to be known as Carnegie
Hall. The method of financing, by
issuing revenue warrants, the plain
tiff says, was usual practice in the
state, adding that the contract was
ratified by the legislature.
There is due, it is alleged, the
principal of $4,000, together with in
terest at the rate of four percent
from March Is, 1924.

According to the charge, Opsah

ishment."
In statement to the Associated
Press this morning Mr.. Opsahl said:
"The chair that I had contrived
for furnishing the children--three in
all-was merely an ordinary office
chair to which l attached high
frequency current or testla coil
When / placed the students in this
chair / saw to it that their arms
were placed tightly against the arms
of the chair 1 did this as the test
la coil was fastened to the metal
rods running through the chair and
if the arms were placed solidly
against the arm of the chair the
pupil would merely feel tingling
sensation. If the arm would loosen
itself from the arm of the chair
small sparks would fly but the stu
dent would not be injured.
Not Strong Current
"The current at its strongest, was
not any more violent than the elcc-
trical treatments used by medical
men for rheumatism. l could have
and should have, used ruler to the
children but had heard that was
insufficient although it would hurt
them more. My idea in using the
chair was to give them mental
punishment. In short, ! wanted to
scare them. Mental punishment, you
know, is more efficient than are
mere physical punishment. They.
the parents of students Of Barnes
vile High School, are trying to
make a case out of this but they
till not succeed. They have been
taking the side of the pupils all year
and we have had hard time getting
discipline. l realize that l made a
mistake but l think it will bring to
their attention the absolute neces-
sity Of discipline. AS to the report
ed Severe cuts on the Tenneson
boys legs that is merely bunk.
