Plan Christmas
Cheer at Prison

The state penitentiary is agog
with gossip over plans for
Christmas. much as school for
small boys.
Warden John j. Lee has an
.nounced that c hri t ma $
cheer will not be barred from
the prison walls. He has ar
ranged Christmas dinner which
will include turkey. mashed po-
tatoes, cranberry sauce, celery,
coffee, cream, butter. rolls and
mince pie, and another big meal
Christmas night is planned.
The Salvation Army will give
a program Christmas morning
and another program probably
will be arranged for the after
noon.

MERCURY DOWN |
Temperatures of 10 to 20
Degrees Below Are
Predicted
A REAL COLD WAVE
Weather Bureau Announces
Snow Also May Blanket
City For Xmas

A cold wave, in big, heavy let
tcrs, is announced in today's bull
etin of the weather bureau here.
It will be the first real one Of the
season, and it is going to cover lot
Of territory. 1t is likely to be pre-
ceded or accompanied with snow. to
give this section of North Dakota
real blanket for Christmas time.
The weather bureau expects the
mercury to fall to 10 to 20 degrees
below zero tomorrow. Tonight 1t is
expected to snow, and tomorrow will
be a gray, sombre day, partly over
cast, the prediction adds.
A touch of the advance Of the cold
wave came last night and this morn
ing, when temperature of 10 above
zero was recorded. This also was
the lowest Sunday. Far up in Can
ada, at Prince Albert, where the
cold wave already is in action, the
thermometer dropped to 20 below
zero, and it was ii below at Havre.
Montana, this morning, while several
other far Northwest points recorded
Ibelow zero temperatures. The mer-
curry had fallen to an even zero at
Williston, in northwestern North
Dakota, this morning at Z o'clock.
1t was 10 above in Fargo.
What Causes 1t
Old High Pressure, the bad man
of weather bureau lingo, is respon-
sible. 1t extends over the Cana
dian Rockies and on the north Pa
cific Coast, and is now moving
scutheastward from the extreme
Northwest with considerable gusto,
and anxious to reach far down be-
low zero before Christmas.
Some Of the western Canadian
provinces already have recorded
I temperatures of 20 to 30 degrees be
low zero, the weather summary says
and zero weather has appeared in
Montana and swesterI North Oak
Old Low Pressure, the counter-ir-
ritant, is sojourning at present over
the southern Rocky Mountain region
and warm weather prevails there. it
is stated. 1t may be that after Old
High Pressure has had its fling, Old
Low Pressure will turn this way and
dispcl the biting cold.
Heavy snow has fallen in Wash
ington and British Columbia.

AUTOS TAKE
MORE LIVES

Motor Fatalities Are Put At
One-Fifth of Total Acct
dental Deaths

Washington. ID. e., Dec. l5.-The
that in 1928 practically one-fifth of
all fatalities from accidents were
the result of automobile accidents.
Approximately twice as many deaths
from automobile accidents occurred
in urban rs in rural districts; Il
difference doubtless due, in part, to
the greater number Of hospitals in
urban districts.
Of the 3S states, only three
Kentucky, Mississippi, and Wyoming
had higher mortality rates from
railroad accidents than from auto
mobile accidents. Wyoming had the
highest mortality rate from railroad
accidents (34 per 100000 pOpulation)
and Massachusetts, the lowest (3.5).
Wyoming also had the highest
mortality rate from all kinds of ac-
cidents 1854 per 100000 popula-
tion), and Mississippi the lowest
(57).
California had the highest mortal
ity rate from automobile accidents
(32.6 per 100000 population. and
also from street car accidents (4.O,
while Mississippi had the lowest rate
from automobile accidents GA per
100000 population), and Wyoming
had no deaths from street cars.
OF the 66 cities of 100000 popula-
tion and over, for which rates are
shown, Camden had the highest NOR
taiity rate from automobile acct
dents (35.D, Buffalo the highest
from street car accidents $50, and
Scranton the highest from railroad
accidents l6.A, and also from all
accidents U44.5).
On the other hand, the lowest rate
from automobile accidents (6.2) was
for New Bedford, and the lowest
rate from all accidents (47.3) was
for Fort Worth, while Duluth, Jack
sonville, San Antonio and Yonkers
had no deaths from street car acci-
dents. and New Bedford none from
railroad accidents.

PRESIDENT. COOLIDGE ACCEPTS
LOWER WHEAT RATE OF
TWO PROPOSED
LOWER RATE ACCEPTED
COST OF PRODUCTION IN LAST
THREE YEARS is BASIS OF
NEW RATE

Washington. = President Coolidge
chose the lower of two suggested i'm
port rates on wheat in his recent proc
lamation increasing the tariff from 30
to AZ cents bushel, it was disclosed
here when the tariff commission made
public the full file of information
turned over to the chief executive on
the subject
The report disclosed that the Inter
nal row which has kept the commission
split for more than a year had result
ed in the sending of two complete sets
of data to the President in the wheat
rate case. One proposed rate of 40
cents, an increase of 10 cents a bushel,
the maximum permitted under the law,
while the other suggested the rate
which was accepted. The faction
headed by Chairman Marvin, Repub-
lican, with whom Commissioners Bur
CESS, Republican, and Classic, Demo
crat, Joined, proposed the higher rate
Vice Chairman Culbertson, Republican,
and Commissioners Costigan, Repub-
lican, and Lewis, Democrat, held out
for the rate of 40 cents. The President
took not only the recommendations OF
the latter with respect to wheat, but
also their suggestion for a rate of S10
per hundred on wheat flour.
The commission split in another
fashion on the proposal to reduce the
rate on bran, shorts and mill feeds
from 10 to ~ per cent ad valorem.
On this rate application Chairman
Marvin broke away from the other
five commissioners, informing the
President in supplemental state
ment that reduction in the mill
feeds duty might have consequences
difficult of appraisal"
Chairman Marvin and his colleagues
argued for basing the new wheat rate
on the 1923 production costs, while
Mr.. Culbertson, with Commissioners
Costigan and Lewis, chose three-year
period-1921, 1929 and 1923-as the
cost basis, which was subsequently ac-
cepted by the President.
The controversy on this point was
predicted on construction of the
flexible provisions of the law, the
group headed by the chairman insist
ing that it was the intent to adjust i'm
port charges on the basis of contem-
poraneous costs. Mr.. Culbertson and
his two supporters maintained that to
establish the precedent of using data
for single year alone, would result
in an annual cIamor for ALTERATION of
rates that could only be disturbing
to business.
