cned by SmOOt Unless
Progress Is Made

Washington, May 2.--(By the A
P0-Entering the second week of
consideration of the tax reduction
bill, the Senate tried again today to
speed up the discussion with spokes-
men of both parties urging prompt
action.
Democrats at conference last
night went on record favoring Il
speed-up program while Chairman
SmOOt Of the finance committee, in
charge of the bill for the ma ity,
late yesterday threatened night ses-
sions to expedite disposal of the mea-
sure.

W0MEN'S CLUBS
END SESSION

The Seventh District of the FEEDER
ated Clubs closed it's annual meeting
with the banquet which was given at
the Lewis and Clark hotel last even
ing when 10 club women of the dis
trict and few guests from this city
assembled at the banquet board.
The afternoons session was most
interesting. Misses Minnie and Hazel
Nelson gave talks along their special
lines of work. 1t was proved by the
various reports given during the
day that the eradication of illiteracy
was perhaps the most important
achievement Of the club women of the
past year. Mrs. John Hillius was
introduced by Miss Hazel Nelson
and she told for herself the blessings
of being able to read and write,
which achievement she has only been
granted during the past two years.
Mrs. Hillius told how during the
time her sons were in the recent war
she was oblidged to 60 to her neigh
bors to have letters both written and
read. She is splendid type of wo-
man and her story bears out the i'm
portance Of the effort the Clubs are
taking to reduce illiteracy to the
very minimum.
Governor r. A. Nestos made
splendid address to the Club women
at the session held yesterday after
noon at the Palace theatre which was
crowded. Following his talk moving
pictures were shown relating to the
beautiful scenery of the West. The
beauties of the Yellowstone Park
were given in a series of films de-
picting the animal life and natural
scenery.
Elect President
At the election of officers which
was held Mrs. f. L. Simmons of New
England was elected president for
the year to succeed Mrs. Nickerson,
whose term expires in October.
The program arranged for the BAN
quet was AVERY clever arrangement
of speeches in keeping with the day.
Mrs. W. H. Stutsman was given the
title of announcer for the evening
and she was most clever and witty in
her introduction Of the speakers.
Miss Florence Connolly and sister,
Mrs. Cain sang two delightful num-
bers. The talks were all most in
spring and Mrs. c. l. Cook, of Beach,
in her subject. Signing Off" made
an excellent talk.
Chorus singing was lead by Miss
Eunice Stevens of Mandan and Miss
Mathilda Hess was accompanist.

T0WNLEY AND
HASTINGSF FREE
OF STATE CASE
Judge MOnsOn Holds Statute
of Limitations Bars Prose-
cutiOn at Fargo
CASES ARE DISMISSED
States Attorney Indicates
That New Effort May BE
Made Against Accused

Fargo, May 2.-The joint embezzle-
ment charge preferred by the state
against A. c. Townley and j. J, Has
tings, former Nonpartisan League
officials, was formally dismissed in
Judge Leigh Monsons court this
morning on the ground of the North
Dakota statute of limitations.
States Attorney Horner, however,
declared that the question of bring
court is being considered and will he
decided upon Immediately after con-
sultation with the Attorney General :
office.
The statute, which Judge Monson
held was applicable in this case,
provides and requires that an action
must be started within three years
after the cmbezzlement is commNted.
The alleged embeZzlement of funds,
belonging to the Consumers United
Stores, was committed, according to
the testimony of the state, on Sep
tember 5, 1918, and the complaint
was filed by j. W. Brinton, former
private secretary to Townley, on
December 81, 1923.
The North Dakota statute provides
that IAN information for felony must
be filed within three years after it's
commission. There is an except on,
however. The law further provides
| that IF when the time of the offense
| is committed the defendant is out of
| the state the information may be
! filed within the time herein limited
after his coming within the state,
and no time during which the defend.
ant is not an inhabitant of, or usual
| ly resident within the state is part
of the limitations.
Bitter Fight
| The whole question as to whether
the statute was effective in this case
hinged on Interpretation of the lat.
| ter paragraph. Todays decision
brings to an end, one. of the bitter,
est legal fights ever witnessed at a
preliminary hearing in North Dakota
courts. w. S. Lauder OF Wahpetor
and John E. Burke, attorneys fol
| the defendant, and Special Prosecu-
tor Arthur LeSueur and States At
torney Horner engaged in several
hot verbal clashes, challenging each
other as we'll as the defendants, rel
ative to the operation of the Non
/ partisan League during it's control OF
the state administration.

Remembered in Artist Colony
For Her Splendid Work;
Regarded as intellectual
Prodigy
BY GEORGE BRITT


Chicago, H.. May 2.-On that biz
zarre, blue fence back of the studio
who killed herself after committing
murder and then taking her own life
made her clrefrce home three years
ago, it is remembered that the girl
painted gorgeous yellow rising sun.
All the artists and near artists
put their marks on that fence in
the early summer, just after they
had moved into the studio. The
house was to be u real democracy
of art and intellect, with no rules
except freedom and sprightly. con-
verSation.
But summer ended, the community
broke as nest of jaded gossip and
the house was razed. The startling
back fence with its frieze of tom
cats, wild flowers dancing nimphs
and sunrises went with the rest.
Into the studios youthful atmos-
phere of wit and liberty came Wanda
Stopa, fresh from home, MZXJ&-
Stopa, fresh from her home. She
was an intellectual prodigy and of
dominating emotional. nature.
Just how impossible it proved for
her to dive into that glowing flare
without singeing herself, body, mind
and soul, it just now becomes APP
parent.
Golden Sun Has Fallen
The golden sun she pictured her
self to be in the morning Of her
emancipation has fallen from heaven
1t made it's final plunge when she
rushed, murderbent, to the home OF
Y. Henley Smith and in frenzy
shot his aged and unoifending care
taker, Henry Manning.
Wanda's father was one of the best
n odelers in the SCULPTURE studios,
both here and abroad. Her mother
was Of titled Polish family, and her
bearing today indicates that breed
ing. The home atmosphere was set
at high standard.
Wanda herself was kept diligently
at her studies, and when admitted to
the bar, little more than three
years ago, she was the states young
est woman lawyer.
Then She Was Wed
About that time her parents re-
turned to Poland on a visit, and
Wanda. ..moved to the little Bohcwia
of the North Side studio. Inde-
pendence and individuality were the
watchwords.
The parties usually were just be-
ginning at midnight, to the disgust
Of the neighbors. One girl would
smoke cigars instead of cigarets, just
to be different. Costumes Knocked a.
styles and conformed to the wearer's
tast.

ing man Lived in the studio that sum-
mer. Also his wife, remarkable
pianist.
Also Wanda met vladimir Gas

ACREAGE IN NORTHERN BURLEICII

Wheat acreage in northern Bur-
leigh county will be cut 20 percent

Barnes, representative of the City
National Bank, who has just aan-

Other crops, particularly corn, will

Four-fifths of the wheat was seed
ed in northern Burleigh county be-
fore the receat sr-.v, he said, and
moisture conditions ire declared to

Much of the early wheat has sprout-
ed and is through the ground.
The corn acreage in northern Bur-
leigh and Kidder counties and south
ern Sheridan county will be trjpled
this year, Mr.. Barnes declares.
He also reported number. of pros
pective settlers from the east have
visited the territory, and asserted
that one or two more good corn crops
was all that was necessary to bring
in the outsiders, who make. diligent
inquiries about corn raising. A num-

kenesaw Mountain Lands
Gives Committee dope"
on Prohibition

va hington, May with the pic
turesque emphasis that made him
famous long before it took him from
the federal bench to become base
balls high commissioner, Kenesaw
Mountain Lands today gave the
Senate Daugherty committee his
opinion on prohibition enforcement
and other administrative affairs as
they have been dealt with by the De-
partment of Justice.
At dinner parties in Chicago, he
said, "pre-war stuff still appeared
to be holding out remarkably we'll
and he confessed that he himself
had not been able to resist the en-
ticing invitation of his hostesses to
try some of it. But, he added that
the Department of Justice appeared
to be doing the best it could in view
Of the fact that it did not always
have the best of lawyers on it's pay
roll.
Called to testify before the house
of corrections sentenced he passed
upon Philip Grossman for liquor law
violations, he said he could not tell
for his life how Grossman got his
pardon from President Coolidge. He
thought Fred Upham, treasurer of
the Republican, national committee,
and other Republican leaders in Chi
cago ought to be criticized and he
told the committee in way no one
could understand that he believed
that politics should have no more to
do with executive clemency than
with decisions handed down from the
bench.
Then, under the urge of sharp
cross-examination, he got up from the
witness stand, and strobe up and
down the room, and, between puffs
on long black stogie, summed up
and reiterated all his statements
about the Grossman case and the
conduct of the Department of Justice
in general.
When the committee was satisfied
he departed with an invitation to all
of its members to come along with
him and see ball game.
