Paris, April 22.-Fist fights occur.
red on the presidents rostrum of
the Chan1ber of Deputies this after.
! noon during the second ballotting
for the presidency of the body.
Former premier Edouard Herriot
was elected president Of the Cham
Der of Deputies this evening. He
received 27O votes, without a single
vote against him. The opposition
abstained from voting.
When a member of the opposition,
Deputy Balanant charged that "fif-
ty-three deputies voted twice." two
Socialists broke through the protec-
ton offered by the sergeant of arms
There was much wild swinging of
arms and one straight arm punch
staggered Balanant whose friends
mixed in making the fight general
on the rostrum.
Suspension Of the session was me-
cessary before order could be T.
stored, and when proceedings were
resumed the president proposed that
Balanant be censured,
The chamber of deputies gave
Premier Paul Painleve and his gov
ernment vote of confidence, 3O4
to 2lS. The vote came after 8 hours
of bitter personal debate, in which
Joseph Caillaux. new finance minis
ter, was the central point Of attack.
CaillauX, restored to power from pri-
son and exile, was considered by the
opposition as the most vulnerable
spot in the armor of what has been
designated the 'Painleve- BRAND Gail
laux cabinet. But, staging the i'm
pressive comeback in history of the
French political world. he weathcred
the fierce storm in the chamber.
The ministerial declaration, the |
context of which was virtually known
previous to NJ. Painleve's presenta-
tion of it before the house, was a
matter of secondary Importance both
for those within the chamber and the
thousands surrounding the Palais
Bourbon, who had come to see Gail
laux.e
The dominating idea of finance,
which caused the downfall of the
Herriot cabinet played only a small
part in the debate because NJ Gail
aux was not ready to propose mea-
;ures.
The minister promised to have the
1926 budget voted, as promptly as
He will introduce the 1926
budget in parliament some time in

Forced to Stand BY While
Steamer Lists and Goes
To Bottom
By The Associated Press)

New York, April 22.-The White
Star liner Homeric was steaming to-
ward New York today with details
OF the death of fortY-eight japanese
seamen lost when the freighter
Ralfuku Maru foundered in huge
seas lSO miles southeast of Halifax
as seven ships raced to the rescue.
The Homeric was close to the ves-
sci as she capsiZed and sank. The
heavy seas, however, made it i'm
possible for the liner to launch her
life boats, and those Of the freighter
had been smashed by the waves. Of
flcers and passengers were forced to
look on helple ssly as the Atlantic
engulfed the freighter's crew.
The Raifuku Maru left Boston
April lS for Hamburg with a cargo
of wheat. Monday storm arose
and her cargo shifted, causing a bad
list. She began to leak yesterday
morning and the first S. q. s. was
sent out.
As the Homeric came within sight
of the sinking Ship the japanese
climbed out over the rail as she list
ed far over. Then she sank, leaving no
trace of life on the water. The
Homeric turned toward this port,
sending a brief message that it had
been impossible to effect "a rescue.
The Tuscania also arrived too late
to help, but in time to see the tragic
end Of the race.

in Jeopardy
FUND is INSOLVENT

North Dakota's fire and tor
nado fund act, passed by the
legislature in 1919, will be
tested in a suit filed today in
the Burleigh county district
court by the Minot board OF
education.
The suit asks that the court
restrain and prohibit S. A.
Olsness, state commissioner
CT insurance, from cancelling
fire and tornado insurance
carried on the Minot school
property in old line companies
and issuing policies in the
state fire and tornado fund on
the buildings.
Every school district in
North Dakota will be affected
by the decision in the case.
The Minot board. in its com
paint, declares that the school dis
trict owns seven school buildings
valued at about 5000 900 which are
now insured in old line companies
for $7O3.450 against fire and $647,
$50 against tornado. The com
plaint states that the insurance is
carried by 55 companies licensed
to do business in this state.
1t is stated in the complaint tclat
S. A. Olsnes3. commissioner of in
s,urarce for the state of North Da-
kota, now demands the school
BOARD cancel the insurance and ne
himself is threatening TO cancel
same and threatens to issue, and
has issued policies in the state fire
and tornado fund
The complaint alleges that the
state fire and tornado fund is
insolvent and if the Minot board is
forced to accept insurance as pro
vi>.1d by the commissioner, the
oroperty of the district would be
ieopardized in the, highest degree.
IT is stated in t.!e complaint. that
the state fire and tornado fund. not
having money available IL loss
Ghould be suffered upon the pro
perty insured by the fund, the ulti
mate payment on tic loss might 1,
depend upon all appropriation by |
the next legislature. an,.' such ap-
1propration might fail by veto of

school district wait an unreason-
ably long time for payment of
said loss

vHave already discussed permit
with solicitor. edwin S. Booth of
the Interior DEPARTMENT.
The Senator is charged with ap-
pearing illegally before the Depart.
ment TO- prosecute Campbells oil
prospecting permits.
Haste said he took up the matter,
which has nothing to do with the
permit originally granted to N. E.
Lincoln, with Booth himself on the
same day. The Lincoln permit is
one OF those involved in the indict-
tried.
Senator Burton X. Wheeler took
the stand in his own defense this
afternoon.
II never met George P. HAYES in
the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in New
York." he said in a positive tone,
Il never heard of him until he ap-
peared before the Daugherty inves-
tigating committee. He was attor-
ney for a bootlegger by the name of
Gorini."
His statement was interrupted by
an objection by the government which
was sustained. Hayes, who was the
governments star witness testified
that ne met Senator Wheeler in New
YORK IN March 1928, and that Wheel
er asked him to appear before the
Interior Department in his case.

Only for the strong arm of the
law a Burleigh county farmers wife
would still be in shook" this morn
ing instead Of experimenting her
household duties around her own

fore a proprietress of Bismarck
rooming house would allow the wom-
an and her small son to depart with
the husband and father before money

In. enlisting the aid of the police
to get his wife away from the house
the farmer said his wife, accompan-
led by the small son, had come to
Bismarck for change and rest from
her duties on the farm and had been
stopping for several days at the
roominR house.
He said that, when he went to get
her yesterday and had paid the board
and room bill, the woman of the
house refused to let the wife and
child depart until he paid for dam
ages she declared the boy had done
in the room they occupied. The hus-
band declared he offered to pay rea-
s0nable sum but the woman set the
damages too high and he refused to
pay. The ro0ming house proprietress
then locked the wife and child in a.
room and said she would not release
them until the bill was settled.
The man declared that not only
was the woman holding his wife and
child but she threatened to do them
bodily injury unless the. bill was
paid Immediately.

tinued to hold the wife and child.
The woman told the chief she would
not release the pair and he sent Of
Picers to the house. The woman at |
