NO TRACE OF NUTTING
Party Which Tried to Locate Missing Men Return, Having Found No Trace of Them.

Trace of Them.
 New Brunswick, N, j., Aug, 1s R, Robert W. and J. Seward Johnson returned today from an unsuccessful 1000 mile search in northern waters for trace of the lost Nutting expedi. ton which left Iceland in August, 1924
 Sailing from Nova Scotia in the yacht Zodiac they penetrated Ham, ilton Inlet to Labrador, interviewing natives at points along the coast without obtaining any trace of Nut ting. They said they believed the Nutting expedition struck an iceberg and was lost before arriving in those waters.
 The Nutting expedition left Roykjavik, Iceland. in 1924 in the 40-foot sloop Lief Erickson for Bad deck, N. S., to follow the trail of tho Vikings. William Washburn Nutting, commodore of the Cruising club Of America, was in command with Ar thur S, Hildebrand, writer: John Towdahl, a marine painter, and a Norwegian skipper, member of the crew.
 The sloop was reported 25 days overdue on Oct. 9, 1924, and ice pa- troI :. rats of the navy department were asked to watch for her off Lab rador and the southern part of Greenland. On November 3, the United States cruiser Trenton re- turned 10 port after an unsuccessful search. Since then several other ef- forts to trace the sloop were unsuc- cessful.
 Mrs. Nutting, with her two chil- dren in New York, has faith that the expedition will yet be found,

SEARCHING IN
NORTH WOODS
Hope to Locate Missing Plain
view Banker

PTainview, Mimi, March 16.-The
search for Edwin l.. Sylvester, miss
ing president of the closed Plain
view State bank, who is wanted on
all embezzlement charge, will prob
ably be carried islto the north woods
country of Minnesota or Wisconsin,
it was indicated Saturday with the
uncovering Of new Developments in
the case.
The theory on which the authori-
ties are working at present is that
Sylvester has sought refuge in the
north woods, where the aged banker
used to go on hunting expeditions.
County Attorney John R. Foley and
Deputy Sheriff John Jacobs, who
hold the warrant for Sylvester's ar
rest changing embezzlement of $1,65O,
arrived here late Saturday from Wa
basha, bent on seeking information
regarding Sylvester's hunting expe-
ditions. The officials also interview
ed the uncle of a IL year old Mid
tleton, Wis, boy, who claimed he
saw Sylvester week ago Saturday.
1t is the theory of police officials
working under the direction of Sher-
iff Anna Fitzgerald of Wabasha, that
Sylvester, when his money ran low
in Chicago a week ago, left that city
and went to Middleton, where he is
thought to have taken train for
northern Wisconsin or Minnesota.

TRIAL OPENED
OF BANKER ON
CHARGE OF U. S.
H. E. Skauge, Former Cash
ier of Dickinson Bank,
Placed on Trial

Trial of H. E. Skauge, former
cashier of the Dakota National Bank
Of Dickinson, got under way today
in federal court here, after jury
had been selected late Saturday aft
ernoon. Mr.. Skauge is charged on
two counts with misapplication Of
funds and with false entry on the
books of the bank while cashier of
the Dickinson bank, now closed.
The government is represented by
w. E. Green, assistant United States
District Attorney. Mr.. Skauge, who
resists the charge and has asserted
it was the result of efforts of enc
mics in Dickinson to discredit him,
is represented by j. M. Hanley of
Mandan.
The charge involved is that funds
we're misapplied by Mr.. Skauge in
the account of the Service Motor
Company of Dickinson, in which he
was said to have been interested, and
A. r. Peck, said to be his partner
in the company. A final overdraft
when the bank closed of about 81 900
was alleged. The government also
charged that Mr.. Skauge entered a
note of $3,40O of the Service Motor
Company on the books of the bank
as approved by the board Of direc-
tors when they did not do so.

THE CONTEN S

Washington. March 16.-The COM
pulsory education law Of Oregon re-
quiring that after September of next
year all children between the ages
of eight and sixteen, with a few cx-
ceptions shall attend public schools,
was reached in the Supreme Court
today for oral argument in two cases
brought by the state to have set
aside the injunction of the Federal
District Court against it's enforce
ment.
Contending that the injunction has
been based largely upon the assump-
tion that the property rights of the
parochial and private schools grant
ed by the state would be impaired by
the requirement that children should
attend public schools, they took the
position that the court in deciding
the issue, should ignore the invest
ments of private schools. holding
that any loss which might result
from the exercise of a proper govern
mental function by the state did not
constitute an unlawful taking of pro-
perty.
Counsel for the appellant on the
other hand based their argument on
the contention that the new school
law violated the natural rights of
liberty and property secured by the
Constitution, that it amounted to a
denial of the rights of those follow
ing the useful occupation Of con-
ducting school violated parental
control over children, and exceeded
the police power of the state.

GUARANTYFUND.
HAS PRIORITY
Attorney General Rules in
Case Involving Funds

The Depositors Guaranty Fund
Commission holds a priority over
the United States government for
moneys deposited in banks which
have closed, according to an opinion
given the Commission by the Attor.
ney-General's office.
"You ask for the opinion of this
office upon the question of the rel
ative priorities existing between the
United States for deposits in closed
state banks, which includes Indian
funds, postal funds, postal drafts,
etc. and the Guaranty Fund Com
mission for its moneys deposited in
such closed state banks, and for
which the statute Of the State of
North Dakota gives the Guaranty
Fund first lien," says the opinion.
1--WE know of no case which holds
that the government is not entitled
to a preference. The claim Of the
United States is founded upon Sec
tion 3466 Of the Revised Statutes
Compiled Statutes, Section 6672).
"Such statute gives to the United
States only priority as to the pay
ment out of the proceeds of the
estate of the insolvent. 1t is not q
lien, nor does itssupersede or over
reach any valid subsisting lien on
property. In other words. the Unit
ed States. is entitled to first payment
out of the proceeds of the assets
after the satisfaction of all liens.
If, therefore, the Depositors' Guar
anty Fund has a, first lien upon the
assets of the bank, it is entitled to
exhaust its lien before the other
creditors, including the United
States, is entitled to payment from
the proceeds of the estate"
