TRADE TO GET CATCHER

ST. LOUIS, April A. Manager
Branch Hickey of the st. Louis
Nationals is in communication with
officials of the Brooklyn, Philadel-
phia and Boston Nationals, in an
effort to arrange a three-cornered
trade, whereby the Cardinals will OBJ
tain an experienced catcher.
Hickey and Manager Fletcher of the
Phillies, it was reported, have vir-
tually completed negotiations by
which the Cardinals will part with
Milton Stock, "hold-out" third base
man, and either another player or a
cash consideration for Hank Deberry
and another Brooklynite. Rickey, it
is said, then proposes to exchange
Deberry and the other player to the
Phillies for Catcher Henline.
Hickey, it was added, is trying to
interest the Boston club in a similar
deal, in case a hitch" in the nego-
tiations with either of the other two
clubs should develop.

CARP-TUNNEY VICTOR
MAY BATTLE GIBBONS

NEW YORK, April 4.-DeveIop-
ments in the priority dispute over
the services of Georges Carpenter
indicate that the date of the French
mans fight with Gene Tunney will
be moved forward one week and that
the winner of the scrap will meet
Tommy Gibbons in the middle west
on July 4.
Billy Gibson, manager of Tunney,
American light heavyweight cham
pion, yesterday refused an offer of
$4,000 from Floyd Fitzsimmons for
the contract which binds Georges to
night Tunney probably in New York
during the week of June 16. After
a conference it was said that the
rival promoters agreed to the de-
cislon which would permit Gibbons
TO tight the winner of the first bout,
Whlch was to be advanced one week
The agreement is expected to be
closed today. The confusion resulted.
II appeared, from the confidence of
DeScamps that Carpenter would best
Tunney with ease. The French man
ager signed articles for Gibson on
March IL and on the next day cabled
TO Jack Curley to proceed with ar
rangements for the Gibbons match

Judge Coffey of jamestown
Sits in District Court

Judge James A. Coffey of James
town today is hearing in districf
court arguments on the demurrer O.
banks in the county to the complain
of the county, by F. o. Hellstron
attorney, in which the county d.,
mands additional payment of take
for the years l919-1922.
A. G. Divet of Fargo, attorney for
the North Dakota Bankers Assoc
alton, representing the banks, argue
in favor of his demurrer this morn
ing.
The complaint alleges that tn
banks should pay tax on the assess
ment of 100 percent on bank stock
The supreme court held the banks
were not taxed for these years on
bank stock. Most Of them paid tax
es on so percent basis, a compro-
mise. Mr.. Hellstrom alleges that as
a result Of the act Of the 1928 legis.
lature, and the subsequent referen-
dunn in which section two of the acts
were defeated, the original assess
ment became valid.
Judge Coffey set the cases against
the Standard Oil Company anc
Russell-Miller Milling Company, in
which corporate excess tax is claim
ed by the county, for hearing next
Thursday. 3

LIBRARIES ARE
BENEFIT TO
EDUCATION

Minneapolis, May Lett is in the
field Of self education, more or less
detached from the class room and
formal teaching, that the public lib
rary can render it's most important
contribution to the education of
American citizens, said Carl NJ. Mi
lam, secretary Of the American LIB
rary association, speaking today te-
fore the Conference on Home Edu-
cation, meeting in this city with the
National Parent Teacher convention,
Everything the library does is to
some extent educational, Mr.. Milan
said, and Libraries are now expert
mcnting with type of adult edu-
cation service designed to increase
their usefulness to men and women
who wish to continue their educa-
ton out of school.
Education is not synonymous with
schools nor teaching" Mr.. Milan as
serted. Every child is educated
not only by the school but by his
contacts, experiences, by what he
sees, hears and does and by what he
reads. Alth ough we put on to the
teachers most of the blame for our
uneducated or poorly educated, we
should agree that the better part of
every man education is that which
he gives himself.
There is growing recognition
that America needs a thoroughly ed
ucated citizenship, and we are COM
ing gradually to realize that no man
is educated if he stops learning
when he leaves school. The world
movement for adult education is now
felt and it gives to all agencies for
adult education an opportunity to
increase their usefulness.
IF the Libraries see and meet this
opportunity We may expect them to
add to their staffs not only general
educational advisors, but specialists
in the several important fields, men
and women of the type of high
school teachers and college profess
sors, who will be available for the
preparation of reading courses and
to give advice to the student as he
follows out his course of reading.
In all probability these specialists
will not be teachers; they will be
advisors to the independent student.
The library, by organized effort.
by establishing personal contacts
outside. by having at the library
persons who can take time to give
personal advice, by having enough
copies of needed books to meet de-
mands promptly, can help materially
to prevent boys and girls from con-
tlnuing or becoming uneducated cit
liens"

Last of Three
Talented Hermits
Dies In Tower

London, May 16.--The last Of tnree
brothers, all talented men, who for
80 years refused to have intercourse
with their fellowmcn, has died in a
lonely tower on the Essex Coast. The
brothers took up their residence in
the tower about 35 years ago, re-
fusing to admit women and gradually
came to close their doors against all.
They only came to town to purchase
food and clothing.
William Cole, the eldest, was nat
uralist, founder of the Essex Museum
and the author of several books. Ben
jamin was an entomologist and
Henry, the last to die, was an artist,
etcher and sculptor.
The tower in which they lived was
surrounded by a moat, and was built
in the fourteenth century.
The will of the last brother leaves
~ The property, which is valued at
about $l25,000, to the state.

Miss G. Peterson of Los Angeles,
California is perhaps the first cross
country hiker to stop in the city
this season. Miss Peterson is hik-
ing from Los Angeles to Duluth,
Minnesota. She left her home city,
April IL, and camped out during the
trip in California. She went by way
Of Portland to Spokane and found
it necessary to take train through
the mountains on account of the ex-
tremeiy heavy snowfall. After pass
ing the snow she proceeded to hike
the rest of the way.
Miss Peterson is of different

hiking togs with rather a heavy
three quarter length top coat. She
is stopping at hotels enroute for her
trip since leaving California.

are short-sighted because they, il
their new system, propose Il roat

ing to the Milwaukee line and Mo.
bridge, South Dakota, where bridge
is being built across the Missouri
Their plan, the local citizens say
will drive people Of the "south coun.
try" into South Dakota to do bust
ness, send them to the Milwaukee
railroad with their freight and thus
hurt the Northern Pacific railroad
which does much for Mandan.
Also they say that the people from
Fl. Yates north will resent any Man
dan attempts to bottle them up, and
Mandan will lose friends.
Also, they say there is opportunity
now to work with Sioux county and
the federal government, on capital
to capital highway, with the govern
ment spending much money to build
a road across the Indian reservation,
which can be carried through Morton
county, giving a beautiful scenic
road touching the Missouri at times,
which would encourage traffic and
expand it, to the benefit of both Bis
marck and Mandan.
Also, they point out that floods in
the west end of Mandan might rem
der the proposed road useless at
