PUTNEY WILL LOSE ENFORCEMENT POST
(Cotnlnued from First Page)
the bootleggers. rum runners and others to profitably ply their trade much longer"
Pulls" Useless 'Tis said

Washington. June 24 Rl-State and local political influences are to be showed aside in filling new ad- ministrative posts in the prohibition enforcement organization. 1t was in- dicated today at the treasury where Assistant Secretary Andrews was busy on plans for the new regime announced yesterday.
 It was freely predicted that the assistant secretary would fill many of the 22 divisional administrative posts in continental United States with men from districts other than those in which they will serve. Congressional influence in the past has weighed heavily in the selection of federal directors for states and in the selection of many other sub- ordinate officials, and the treasury has not been satisfied with all of the men thus named.
 Mir. Andrews said today he would not retain men whose integrity has been questioned and who did not measure up as producers of results. The whole list of present officials will be gone over before the new system goes into operation August 1 to determine how many of them will be asked to stay.
 In order to obtain the type of administrators he seeks the assis- tant secretary has asked Comptrol- Ter General McCarl for a ruling on the salary question. It Is under stood he proposes to pay as high as s1o,oo0 annually for some of the posts.

 What did the state have on Fai- man?" asked Stewart. If you don't think they had anything on him, you are crazy"

 "They wanted the testimony of Faiman. and they had an agreement with him, else why is that quack doctors diploma mill running just as it vas?"

SECURITY PACT
 LINES LIMITED
Chamberlain Explains Terms for
 European Agreement

London, June 24 Rt-Foreign Sec retary Austen Chamberlain today told the house of commons that Great Britain's obligations under the proposed Western European security pact must be definitely limited to the frontier between Germany on the one side and France and Belgium on the other"
 He added that "our guarantees of that frontier cannot be invoked by a wrongdocr to shield him in his wrongdoing,"
 He said the abstcntion of the British empire and of Great Britain in particular from European affairs never had served and never would serve the interests of peace. Great Britain's signature to the covenant of the league of nations was incom- patible with isolation.
 Our safety is not in seeking an impossible isolation" he said but In a wise and prudent use Of our in- fluence and power to obtain peace and prevent war from breaking out again."
 Mir, Chamberlain said the pact should not be unitateral, hut must be mutual pact among the nations whose past differences had pro- ,oked her, Germany must enter the League Of Nations. he declared.
 Nothing in the propose6 pact, the secretary said. should affect the lights and obligations attaching to membership in the league under the covenant.
 Great Britain's guarantees. he added, become effective only if in defiace Of treaties of arbitration and the obligations of the league conven- ant the wrongdoer resorted to force
 Mir. Chamberlain said there was no treaty or draft Of a treaty exist cnt. The house had merely a pre- liminary statement Of what the diff ferent countries felt il would be possible for them to undertake and in what direction they thought they could make an advance.
 IL vas impossible, said Mir. Cham berlain, to have a unilatcral pact. such as formerly was contemplated in the Anglo-American treaty of Guaranty, which lapsed when the United States declined 10 ratify it. or in the British pact Of Guaranty, of Cannes, which lapsed owing to political episodes in another country.
 (Mr. Chamberlain here was refer ring to the crisis in France early in 1892 which resulted in the fall of the Briand ministry.)

men throughout the state, S. A. OILS
ness, state commissioner Of insur.
ance, has asked Attorney General
George Shafer for a ruling on the
legality Of blanket insurance policies
covering automobiles sold by certain
companies in North Dakota.
The case is the outgrowth Of the
action of the Chrysler automobile
company in offering free insurance
for one year with all new machines
sold; the company contracting for
the insurance in the same manner
that group life insurance policies
are issued to the employees Of vari-
Gus firms.
In addition to asking the attorney
general for an opinion on the ap-
plication of the North Dakota law
Olsness has asked the superintcnd
ent of insurance Of Michigan for
copies of the "master" contract be.
tween the Chrysler company and the
Palmetto insurance company which
issues the policies. He also is watch
ing with interest the action Of the
New York insurance commission
which will hold a hearing on the
same subject within the next few
weeks.
Under the North Dakota statutes
insurance contracts must be entered
into between the insured and loca
agent Of the insuring company anc
a premium must be paid, Olsness
said.
Complaint of North Dakota insur
ance men was based on the fact thai
adoption Of blanket policy system
by insurance companies would ser
iously injure their business.

Holding that court cannot sub
stitute its judgment for the judg
ment of the North Dakota state
board of administration on matters
in which reasonable persons might
differ. Judge Jansonius in Burleigh
county district court today refused
the petition Of the Washburn Lig-
mite Coal company, Wilton, for an
injunction to prevent the state
board from entering into contracts
with other companies. The PLAIN
tiff claimed it's bid was the lowest
and that it should receive all the
state contracts.
Judge Jansonius pointed out that
"the general rule is that in award

are vested with discretion in deter
mining who is the lowest and best
bidder and their decision cannot be
interfered with by the courts, even
IL erroneous. provided it is based
upon sound and reasonable discre-
tion and exercised in good faith

The state board contended that
higher heat unit content of Goals
offered by competitors of the PLAIN
tiff warranted them in awarding the
contracts at higher price than that
made by the Washburn company.

that it is financially responsible, and
that it produces a high quality Of
