UNDER PAN
67 Members in House and 81
in Senate Is to be
Proposed

The state senate would be com
posed of 32 members, instead of 49
as at present, and the house of re-
presentatives would have 81 members
instead Of lib, ss al present, under

ed by Herman Hardt of Napoleon.
The plan probably will be placed be-
fore the legislature in the form of 4

Under the scheme, The basis of re-
presentation would be one Senator
for each 10000 population and one
representative for each 10000 popu'
lation. Burieigh county, which has
population of 1858, would have
one senator and two representatives

Cass county would have two dis
tricts, the only county in the state SO
affected. Fargo would he one dis.
trict, since it has more than 10000
population. The city would have
two representatives, Cass county, out

REDUCTION OF
TRANSPORTING
COST is URGED
Education Committee Would
Materially Reduce Present
Cost of Transportation
HIGHWAY BILLS UP
Creation of Big State Fund
For Exclusive State Road
Building Loses

Progress was made in legislative
committees today in disposing of
measures providing for revision of
the state highway laws and the
school transportation laws, two Of
the big "money bills of the present
session of the legislature.
The House Committee on Educa-
tion voted to report for passage
Bills of Reps. Morton and Veitch
bills placing the limit beyond which
school transportation must be fur
nished or parents paid for transport
ing pupils to school, at four miles
for common schools and two and one
half miles for consolidated schools.
The bills were recommended for
passage unchanged. House bill No.
1856 provides transportation shall be
furnished pupils of consolidated
schools who reside not closer than 2
1-2 miles to school instead of the
present 1 1-2 mile limit. Limits for
any one family of $1.OO per day for
transportation of children and not
less than 20 cents for one child.
House Bill No. 1877 increases the
minimum that common school pupil
may be transported to four miles in
stead of the present two and one
half miles; clarifies existing statute
so that transportation shall be at
the rate of rs cents per pupil or not
to exceed so cents per family re-
Rardless of the number Of pupils car
ried.
School transportation cost in the
state has amounted to about $780,
600 at times. and the proposed mea-
sures would greatly reduce the ex-
pense.
Highway Legislation
The highways committee of the
House, having before it the question
of disposing Of the motor vehicle
license funds, did not reach a def
| mite conclusion. Committee senti-
| ment, however, indicated that a divi-
sion of funds between the state high
| way commission and counties some
where between the present $3.50 plan
and the proposed rs percent to coun-
ties and 25 percent to state plan,
would be adopted.
The committee was told that if
division were made on 6O-4O basis.
deductions made for administrative
expense, bridge fund and mainten-
ance Of federal aid roads, and all the
gas tax given to the highway COM
mission. it would have about $780,
600 or more annually to meet like
amount of federal aid, in building
main roads. The highway commits
sion. it was said, must spend $780,
600 annually maintaining $500 miles
of federal aid roads already built,
which the federal government re-
quires the state to maintain.
Some members of the committee
are against federal aid entirely, but
the majority sentiment appears to be
! for some main road building. Many
members also are insistent that a
considerable portion Of the money
available 60 back to counties so that
they may build their own local roads.

COLLINS, HELD in KENTUCKY CAVE,

Sand Cave City. KY, Feb. 5.--(By
the A. P.)-Floyd Collins. S5 years
old, and cave explorer SINCE boy
hood. found wonderful cavern, but
may have lost his life in tkSlattempt.
Forewarned by others of the danger
to those who attempted to explore
her uncharted chasms, Collins de-
scended into narrow passageway
Of Sand Cave last Friday in search
Of cavern more beautiful than
Mammoth cave"
How far he went no one knows,
but "at the end of his rainbow" he
found what he sought, he said.
Jubilant, perhaps, and anxious to
come out to tell Of his discovery
Collins was emerging from the cave
when within 1875 feet of the mouth
a tremendous boulder slipped and
pinioned his foot. There he lay "a
hours before he was found by Jewell

GROUP EXPECTS
END OF WORLD
TO COME SOON
Little Band, 'Dcfying Church
Edict, Prepares For Their
> - Doom Tomorrow

New York. Feb. Spraying, fast
ing and singing hymns, 13 Seventh
Day Adventists on Long Island to-
day are awaiting the end Of the
World, which they think is coming
tomorrow.
They are led by Robert Reidt, who
calls himself the "Apostle Of DOOM y
The group includes men, women and
children and the family Of four ne
groes. Most of them have sold their
worldly goods, even part of their
clothing and are spending the last
few days subsisting on light food.
Tomorrow they will go to a hill
top near Patchogue, whence they ex-
pect to be taken in cloud chariot
to Woods near San Diego. There
they say, 144,OOO "brides of the
lamb" will be gathered. All other
people will perish, according to their
prediction.
This agreement from the head
quarters of the Seventh Day Adven-
lists in Washington that tomorrow
is not the decreed day for the milen-
mum has not affected the prepara-
tions of the little band. Mrs. Mar
garet w. Rowen, leader of those who
have fixed the day for tomorrow
was denounced by the church leaders.
It is the contention Of the Adventist
organization that the date fixed by
her is extremely premature.
The seventh plague, including the
great battle of Armageddon. must
come before the worlds doom, it is
maintained by the main group of
Adventists.
Reidt made his prediction in detail.
The period of destruction starting
tomorrow midnight will last for sew
eral days, he says, with first disease,
hail stones end pestilence striking
the earth at one time. Reidt is
himself no longer a member of the
Adventist church. He has sold his
furniture to second hand dealer
on condition that he may buy it back.

TO QUESTION
50 STUDENTS
IN POISONING
Columbus, Ohio, Police Take
Up Cause of Death of
University Student
FROM DISPENS AIRY
Several Students Made Vic.
lently III by Poison
Given to Them

Columbus, O., Feb. 5.--Columbus
police today planned to question GO
Ohio State University students who
last week worked in the pharmacy
dispensary from which capsules
some of which contained poison,
were used to fill prescriptions writ
ten by the University medical ser
vice, and which caused at least the
death of one student and illness of
several others.
With university officials cooperat-
ing. Investigators expected to bend
every effort to find the source of
the poison. With every supply of
the poison on the campus accounted
for, the task. the investigators
cover who gave out the capsules con-
tanning the poison instead of one
containing quinine, which closely re-
sembled the poison;
To find out the motive, if any
underlying the act;
To uncover the source of supply
of the poison.
Belief that the poison was inten-
tionally placed in the capsules was
strengthened yesterday by the find
ing of the deadly drug in the stom-
ach of David l. Puskey, Canton, Ohio,
senior, who died suddenly Sunday
after brief but violent illness.
The only other traces of poison
discovered were in capsule in the
possession of Timothy Mccarthy of
Fremont, Ohio, and evidence of the
poison in the contents of the stom-
ach of George Thompson, Canton
Ohio. Mccarthy and Thompson are
two students taken most violently
i'll and who have survived.
Convinced that deliberate intent
was at the bottom of the illness
which in Puskey's case, at least
probably caused death.
University officials late yesterday
afternoon turned over the official
investigation to Columbus police.

the student health service is made

Esters, II. There, also. he remained
alive, for at least 1876 hours and
probably longer.
He still was in the cave today,
whether alive or not, unknown to
man.
Like his father before him, Floyd
was hunter of caves. Once before
he experienced the thrill Of finding
an underground coliseum.
Years ago he found Crystal Cave
and then, as now, he was trapped by
a gigantic rock which fell across his
path and held him captive 48 hours
Competition in the Mammoth Cave
region was keen. Floyd hoped to
find natural wonder close to Cave
City, the nearest railroad point, more
beautiful than either Crystal or old
Mammoth himself. He was to share
whatever profits might accrue. Tha,
was why he went in the hole.

RESCUERS DISCOURAGED

It was discouraged group which
undertook the mine labor this morn
ing. No effort was spared to speed
the work but the race with death had
all the odds against the rescuers
Because of the rocky strata expected
to be encountered all the way down
it was probable that days would
elapse before anyone could hope to
reach Collins.
Orders have been given by Gov.
ernor Fields to stop all trains which
carry equipment at Cave City. Ma.
