DEATH RATE
HERE IS LOW
Only 242 Persons Died in
County Last Year

Burleigh county has one physician
to each 600 of population, compared
to one physician to each 1900 pop
ulation in the state at large, but
there is not physician in the county
outside of the city of Bismarck. ac-
cording to the report of Dr.. F. R.
Smyth, county health Offer, sub
mitted to the board of county com.
missioners.
DR.. Smyth stated in his report tnat
this situation makes it difficult at
times to get prompt medical atten-
tion and results in failure to call
physicians in mild cases of conta-
gious disease, so that such diseases
spread rapidly.
The report of the, county health
officer stated that the total number
of deaths in Burleigh county in
1924 was 242. giving death rate Of
1876 per 1000 population. The mum.
ber( of deaths in the rural part OF
the county was SO, giving death
rate of AZ per 1,00N This, DR..
Smyth stated, is very low death
rate even for a farming community.
The village of Regan reports seven
deaths but no births in the year. and
five townships have neither births
nor deaths. Ecklund township takes
the lead from health view. 1t re-
ports eight births to one death.

TRADE DOOMED
IN DISTRICT
DURING MAY
Money Value of Business
Transacted II Per Cent
Greater Than Year Ago

The money value of business trans
acted in the Ninth Federal Reserve
District during May was II per cent
greater, and the physical valume as
reflected by carloadings was about 10
per cent greater, than in the same
month a year ago. This increase was
due to the higher prices prevailing
for grains, livestock, butter, eggs and
ore, forest and linseed products and
less-than-carload lots of merchan-
disc.
As compared with a month ago,
however, there was an unseasonal de-
cline of l per cent in money value of
business transacted. This decline
was. partly due to the high levels
reached in April. Recessions were
shown in shipments of forest pro-
ducts, linseed products and flour, and
in the shipments and prices of live
stock. These recessions more than
counterbalanced gains in grain re-
ceipts and grain prices and quad
rupling of iron ore shipments.
Nine eities out of the eighteen that
report building permits to this office
exhibited gains in the. valuation of
permits granted in May as compared
with last year, but the total valuation
for the eighteen cities was 5 per cent
below last year. The extraordinary
gains shown last month as compared
with a year earlier could hardly be
expected to continue in May There
was also decline in both the num-
Der and total valuation of permits
for these eighteen cities in May, as
compared with April. Housing facil-
tiles available in both Minneapolis
and St. Paul are shown by current
indexes to be much more plentiful
relative to demand than was true a
year ago.
Reports received from number of
selected city banks indicate that dur
ing May demand deposits increased
and lloans declined, resulting in re-
duction of borrowings from this Fed
eral Reserve Bank and increases in
reserves and in holdings of secur-
tiles. :,

by. whose father formerly was a
Fargo business man. Mr.. Kellogg
saw all the vicissitudes that fell to
the lot of the early newspapermen
in North Dakota. Through lean
years, when support was meager, he
kept the daily going as matter Of
local pride.
Mr.. Kellogg has made the Alert
one Of the most influential dailies
in the state and it has time and time
again been felt as strong force
making for advancement and civic
righteousness. It's progressiveness
and the reliability Of its news col
umns have gained it wide and rep
resentative circulation.
Aided Development
Through all the strenuous period
of state making, Mr. Kellogg was a
considerable figure in moulding pub
lie opinion and became widely pop
ular with the newspaper cult al
though not averse to taking issue
with his contemporaries at times.
Mr.. Kellogg's capacity as a bust
ness man as well as an editor is
evidenced in the growth of the in
stitution of which he has been the
head and he may be reckoned among
the state makers who accomplished
things in the development of North
Dakota.

HEAT PLANT
MUST OPERATE
Board Declines to Allow
Shut Down at Enderlin

On the ground that it has no
legal right to permit a public utility
to abandon a service, the state board
of railroad commi ssioners has de-
clined to allow abandonment of the
steam heating plant at Enderlin own
ed by the Otter Trail Power COM
pany.
The commission rejected the con-
tention of the school board that a
contract made on July 81, 1915, for
steam heating service at rate to
hold for 10 years, cannot be altered
by the commission.
1t was found that the cost of pro-
ducing steam in Enderlin is $1.97 per
thousand pounds and that the pres
.ent legal rate is s1.40 per thousand
as compared with the school board
contract of 60 cents. The commits
sion suggests that, those affected by
its decision seek to agree within 80
days and communicate it's views. In
the meantime the commission retains
the right to issue further orders
regarding rates.

MANY FALSE.
TAX RETURNS
AREREP0RTED
Penalty Required BY Law To
Be Enforced in State,
Commissioner Says

Many false income tax returns
have been made to the state tax
commission and the penalty required
by law will be enforced in all cases,
according to Fred Hanson, field au-
dftor of the state tax commission
The penalty in this case is $4,000.
Several hundred tax returns on
corporations in the state are found
to be either made out with intent to
defraud or in an incomplete and
negligent manner. Many corpora
tions have failed to report altogether,
Hanson said.
On Final Trip
The field auditor will shortly start
on a trip at the completion of which
he expects to have matters straight
ened out. Penalties will be assess
ed in most cases, as the income law
provides. Thousands of dollars will
be collected as a result of this trip,
said Hanson.
1t divided in the income tax law
that "if any taxpayer without intent
to evade any tax impose :. e. shall
fail to file return of income or pay
a tax if one is due at the time re-
quired by or under the provisions
of this act, but shall voluntarily file
correct return Of income or pay
the tax due within sixty days there
after, there shall be added to the tax
an additional amount equal to five
per cent thereof, but such additional
amount shall in no case be less than
one dollar and an additional one per
cent for each month or fraction of a
month during which the tax remains
unraid."
The law also provides that if a
taxpayer does not voluntarily file a
return Of income within sixty days
of the time required he shall be sub
ject to fine Of not less than $40
and not more than $500, with interest
of per cent month until the date
of payment.
Liable 70 Fine
Failure to pay tax or any attempt
to evade any part of the income tax
law makes the offender liable to a
fine of not more than 81 900 to be
recovered by the attorney general by
action in court. Conviction also
makes the offender liable to years
Imprisonment or both.
Double the amount may be assess
ed If an incorrect return il not cor
rected or in case of failure to, file
return after notification by the
tax commissioner. The commission
er may in such cases determine the
income Of the taxpayer according to
his own information.

Net Permitted TO Examine
Witness on Conviction of
Criminal Charge
THRONG AT TRIAL
Spectators Gather Early to
Hear Fiancec of Young
McClintock Testify
1Rx The Associated Pressl

(By The Associated Press)
Chicago, June e115.-The defense to-
day lost another hard battle when
Judge Lynch ruled that William Ste
wart, counsellor for William Shep-
herd. could not examine DR.. Amante
Rongetti as to indictment and convic-
tion of a crime.
The court agreed Stewart might
cross-examine the doctor as to his
medical knowledge and to the sources
of his business.
The Jury was brought in at noon
and trial got under way again.
Not Positive
Upon cross examination DR.. Ron
getti admitted that. he was not posi-
tive that Shepherd was the man who
visited his hospital and inquired
about a course in bacteriology and
how typhoid germs got into human
body.
A crowded court room of spectators
attracted by newspaper stories that
Isabelle Pipe, financee of William
McClintock. would testify today, was
left to swelter in silence, more than
an hour and half at the opening
of court while the attorneys argued
law in the judicial chambers.
It was the defense contention that
it could cross examine DR.. Rongetti
as to whether he had been convicted
of crime.
,, The physician testified upon direct
examination Saturday that Shepherd
had approached him about a, course
in bacteriology and inquired about
tuberculosis and had asked about how
typhoid got into a human body.
Doctor Convicted
1t was admitted that by the pros
ecution that DR.. Rongetti had been
convicted and assessed fine of ST.
600 for selling diplomas stolen from
Marquette University at Milwaukee,
Wis, but the state contended the
crime of conspiracy of which Dr.
Rongetti was convicted was not "fn-
famous"
The defense attorney contended
that it was necessary to their case to
show that Rongetti could not be be-
| lieved. ~.s

sued Sunday by the Mexican embassy
here asserted that Secretary Kellog's
statement last Friday. contained q
"threat" against Mexico's sovereignty
and that the implication that Mexico
stood ION trial before the world" in

Furthermore, President Gales add
ed. Mexico "does not accord to any
foreign country the right to inter-
vene in her domestic affairs, nor is
she disposed to subordinate her in
ternational relations to the exigen-
cies Of another country"
Conscious of Obligations
Mexico, the statement continues, is
conscious of her international obliga-
tions and is determined to comply
with them, as a proof of which it
mentions the establishment of claims
