C0UNTRYCLUB
LOOKS TOWARD
ENLARGEMENT
1S-HOle Course in Future and
Acquisition of Land Among
Things Considered
PLAN NEW COMPANY

Plans arc expected to be taken up
at the annual meeting of the Bis
marck Town and Country Club, which
probably will be March 81, of chang
ing the golf course or charging 1t in
the future.
Directors of the organization have
already evolved a tentative plan for
the formation of holding company
separate from the operating org:ni-
cation of the Country Club. Under
the plan the holding company would
acquire all of the property of the
Country Club through the sale of
shares of stock, probably as low as
$40 for each share, and perpetually
hold it for the benefit of the operat-
ing organization of the Country Club.
Many officers of the club who nave
closely studied the situation believe
than an 1S-holc golf course will be a
necessity within a few years, with
the interest in the game growing
and the club becoming a center OF &C
tivity for outdoor enthusiasts Of
both Bismarck and Mandan.
The Country Club owns the land
on which clubhouse is situated bat
probably will make an effort to &C
quire considerably more land, either
in the immediate vicinity or if ntces-
sity should cause the action, to seek
another location. The building of
the new ROOSEVELT school house on
one edge Of the gorf course may also
make desirable a change sometime in
the future.
The local club enjoyed an cxcep-
tional year financially in 1928 and
interest was declared greater than
ever before. SO rapidly did the
membership increase that there has
been discussion of the possible nctes-
sity of limiting the club membership
after. the spring membership invita-
ton is issued.

dents of the city, have been favored
with chatty conversation sometimes
during busy business hours, and
other times during more leisure mo-
mcnts occasionally quite late in the
evening. No one has been located,
as yet, who has had time to meet the
sweet-voiced, individual.
The constant recurrence of the af-
fair has resulted in an inquiry being
instituted to determine who this
mystery woman is, and what her
we'll studied game" may be as well
as her purpose.
In the meantime the advice is
given to know who you are talking
to before you transact much bust
ness over the telephone.

ed war profits to fight against the
passage of obligations which arc
pledged to us by the Republican
party, John r. Quinn, national com
mander of the American Legion, de-
cIared here today in an address tc
American Legion representatives
from southern states while address,
ing the Legion representatives ga.
thered for a get-togc Their conference
at which it ,ns expected agreement
would be reached on measures the
southern Legion men would back.
Legion repre- sentatives from Vir,
ginia, North and South Carolina
Kentucky, West Virginia, Alabama
Georgia and Florida were present
including department commanders
adjutants, historians and other Off
GERS.
Everyone except Big Business
felt this was an obligation that was
owing, he said.
Declaring that the railroads in
wartime contracts and ship yard
workers received large sums and
civil service employees received and
still receive bonuses the national
commander declared these payments
were just and the Legion hid no
complaint but added that every
factor except the veterans who went
to the front was compensated for
its economic loss and handicap" He
said that President Harding was in
duced to veto the compensation bill
by AN astounding miscalculation.
He quoted figures which he said
came from a report by Rep. A. Plat
Andrew of Massachusetts,, showing
that the government paid out in the
year the first bill passed $21 100000
more than the legal requirement on
the war debt and ended with a bal
ance of S37O,OOO.OOO to its credit.
This year. he said. when the
adjusted compensation issue came to
the front Secretary Mellon could no
longer disguise the condition of the
treasury so he came out with a slo-
gan NO tax cut If the bonus passes.
This was the cleverest political trick
of the age.
Secretary Mellon proposed re-
duction of $3.50, 100000 if no bonus
passed and he added to that by say
ing that if a bonus did pass taxes
would probably go up and prevent
any reductions for years to come.
We investigated his figures and
found we had estimated the cost Of
the adjusted compensation at ap-
proximately sS4 100000 per year for
the first four years. We told him
about that, showing that the adjust
ed compensation could be paid and
still reduce taxes S246,OOO,OOO. We
showed him that by reducing all the
taxes except the surtax that the
money collected on surtaxes from
$4,000 war-made millionaircs would
pay the cost of the bonus

LUSITANIA
AWARDS MADE
TO AMERICANS
Mixed Claims Decision Makes
Award to Persons Who
Lost in Sinking

Washington, Feb. 22-Under an
award of the German-American mix
ed claims commission involving Only
part of the claims arising from the
sinking of the British liner LusitAnia
the German government must pay
approximately one million dollars re-
paration for losses sustained by
Americans through death, injury.
property damage, or otherwise in
that disaster. The decision was
handed down today by Judge Edwin
Is. Parker, umpire of the commission,
in 81 cases representing only the
first group 'of Lusitania claims.
Eighty eight separate awards were
made, the amounts in the cases in
volving property damage of destruc-
ton carrying 5 percent interest Il
year dating from May 7, 1915, when
the Lusitania was sunk, to the date
of payment, and those in the death
cases the same interest dating from
November 1, 1923, when the commits
sion handed down its opinion in the
case determining the measure of
damages. Forty claims were denied
in today's dccisios.
Gave Statements
In handing down his decision,
Judge Parker made brief statement
of the facts in each case and applied
them to the rules laid down in the
Lusitania opinion Of November l.
The cases came to him for decision
because of disagreement between the
American commissioners Chandler p.
Anderson, and the German commits
sioner Wilhelm kiesselbach.
In the death cases, according to
the opinion, the basis of damages
was not the value of Il life lost or the
loss sustained by the estate of the
decedent but the losses to claiments
resulting from the death, insofar as
such losses are susceptible of being
measured by pecuniary value"

DISCUSS PLAN
TO BRING HERE
MANY ARTISTS
Representative Will Discuss
Proposed 1925 Musical
Series in Bismarck
PLAN POPULAR PRICES
Proposal Also Is Discussed
For Bismarck Mandan
Symphony Orchestra

A plan for bringing some Of the
marck next winter for concerts to be
held once or twice Il month at pCpu-
lar prices will be placed before local
people within the next two or three
weeks. Discussion among several
here, following the successful prcsen-
tation financially Of the Ricardo
Martin concert last fall, has resulted
in Harry Culbertson of Acolian Hall
New York, manager Of Martin and
ments to come to Bismarck soon to
discuss the matter with Secretary
Bradley of the Association of Com
merce and others
The proposed plan is one which is
said to have been adopted with sue
cess in many large cities, it having
been found that popular-priced con
certs with community backing are
more successful than limiting the
concerts to a few through charging
of the usual high rates of many of
thu finer artists.
Among the artists Culbertson lists
under his management who might be
obtained for a musical season in Bis
marck next wit.er are: Soprano sol
oists, Irene Pavlaska, Myrna Sharlow
Margaret Maxwe; Tenors-~Forest
Lamont, Ricardo Martin; Violasts
Emil Telmanui, Ruth Ray; Bari
tones Louis Kreidler, Thomas Chal-
mers, Chas. b. Granvil: Pianists--
Maurice Dumesnil, Jan Chiapusso,
Leo Ornstin, Margaret O'Connor.
There also is listed the Cali de
Mamay ballet of Is dancers.
Orchestra Suggested
A number of Mandan people are
discussing the possibility Of organic
ing symphony orchestra composed
of 40 to so of the best musicians of
Mandan and Bismarck. The propon-
ents of the plan say that there are at
least 100 musicians in the two cities
who could be drawn from to form 4
5O-piece symphony orchestra.
They suggest further that this or
chestra would be a tremendous as
set to either city for entertainment
purposes during great state conven-
tions; that it would be possible to
give the public real music after Il
surfeit of jazz; that concerts could
be given during winter months, plob-
: ably each two weeks alternately in
Mandan and in Bismarck, and the
organization serve as medium by
which the two cities could enlis. in
the national campaign for apprecia-
ton of better music.
