him with participation in an alleged
Jewish conspiracy to control Amer
lean agriculture, or to organize the
farmers of America in the interests

KILLED YOUTH
! WHO BROKE UP
I HOME, HE SAYS
10 Year Sentence Given by
Judge Thomas Pugh to
Fred Geisler
MAKES CONFESSION
Admits Crushing Youths
Skull With Gas Pipe
Ready For Punishment
MAKES CONFESSION
Especial to The Tribune)

Dickinson, N. D., Jan. Sired
Geisler, 32, carpenter of Belfield,
Stark county, pleading guilty to a
charge of second degree murder be-
fore Judge Thomas H. Pugh in dis
trict court here today, was senten-
ced to serve ten years in the state
penitentiary at Bismarck.
"A Geisler, after hours of grilling by
al 1thorities broke down and confess
ed> to committing deadly assault up
on John Parish, also of Belfield,
Monday morning, which resulted in
death of Parish in local hospital "a
hours later. Extremely mitigating
circumstances in the case ,and the
+ past reputation Of Geisler as an up
Wight, law abiding citizen induced
States Attorney j. p. Cain to recon-
mend clemency.
Broke Up Home
The court pronounced the mini
mum sentence. In his confession
Geisler declared that the dead man
had alienated the affection of his
wife, broken up his home and wreck
ed his happiness; that he had re-
peatedly warned Parish to keep
away and that although the latter
had promised to do so before wit
nesses he continued his attentions.
. In moment Of insane jealousiy,
Monday morning, he went to the
room of Parish near those occupied
by his wife, armed with piece of
gas pipe and while Parish slept
struck the blow over his head which
crushed his skull and resulted fatal
ly, he said. Geisler expressed no
regret over the deed and indicated
his willingness to take whatever
punishment might be meted out. He
declared however, that he did not
intend to kill Pari sh and that he in
tended only to knock him senseless
that he might gain possession of
certain letters written to the dead
man by his wife.
A strange coincidence lay in the
fact that Geisler killed Parish on
the anniversary of his marriage to
his wife two years ago.
Maintained Innocence
Gesler had worked for the Nor
thern Pacific Railroad at Belfield.
Parish, aged % was employed in a
Belfield cafe for some time.
Parish was found in his room in a
Belfield rooming house, with his
skull crushed. He died without re-
gaining consciousness, after being
brought to Dickinson. Authorities
said they were informed that Gels
ler on several occasions had threat
ened to kill Parish, but he maintain
ed his innocence for considerable
time, when questioned by authori-
ties.
Parish, according to word received
by authorities, was caller at the
O'Clock Monday night. vi

RENTERS WAR
ON REALTORS
President Asks That Law Be
Drawn Up Regulating
Rents in Capital
BECOMES BITTER FIGHT

Washington, Jan. 8.-(By the A. -P.)
Coolidge, at the Novem-
Der election, was given 4-year ex-
tension of his lease on the White
House but nevertheless he is having
plenty Of trouble these days with
Washington landlords.
BY initiating steps to bring about
permanent government regulation Of
residence rentals in the District Of
Columbia, Mr.. Coolidge, whose home
in Northampton, Massachusetts,. is
the rented half of double house,
has brought down on his head the
wrath of Washington real estate men.
The result has been to fill the air
here with statements and counter
statements regarding rents, the in
sertion of half-page advertisements
in newspapers by the real estate in
terests and broadcasting by realtors
of urgent proposals for Did from
other associates in other cities.
These developments which of late
have threatened to crowd from the
front pages of Washington newspa-
pers discussions Of the French debt
question, the postal pay bill and the
state of the Navy, represents only
a new phase in merry little war
which has been going on for several
years between Washington landlords
and tenants.
The contest, which has had coun-
ter-part in many of the country's' ci-
ties developed during the fall to the
point of near riots at public meet
ings held by the Tenants League.
Members of the league accused the
real estates men of hiring agents to
break, up their meetings and the
owners Of rental property, as repre-
sented in the Washington Real Estate
Board, charged the league with boil
shevist IDEAS"
President Coolidge entered the lists
about two weeks ago on the side Of
the tenants by requesting Richard
Whaley, chairman of the District of
Columbia rent commission and form
er congressman; to draw up regu-
lating bill based on the police power
of the federal government to main
tain sanity and moral conditions in
the district. The new legislation
would take the place of the existing
"hall rent" act first passed in 1919
and since twice extended, setting up
a commission to determine fair rem
tails on application either Of the ten
ants or owner. This law, enacted as
war emergency, has heen inopera-
tive since last June by court decision
affirming the contention of real es-
tate men that the war emergency had
ceased to exist.

LETTERS FOUND

Hibbing, Minn.. Jan. 8.-Letters,
some relating to love and others to
the harder side of financial dis
agreement, some cherished and some
torn up, from Laura Palmer to F. x.
Bernard, were located in the latter's
trunk here today.
Many of them we're written to
Bernard while he was teaching part
time French in Hibbing Junior Col
lege year ago, substituting for Miss
Palmer, who was in Paris. The lat
est date is December Is, 1924, though
some of the torn ones may be more
recent.
In her letters Miss Palmer ad-
dressed Bernard as sweetheart and
signed herself Laura" or - Laura
Palmer"
In one letter, in which answers
are numbered, evidently replying to
a tabulation of questions he had
sent her, Miss Palmer wrote: "No.
I can't marry at this time, because
you are not earning enough to sup
port me and two children by form
er marriage"
Lower down in the same letter:
"there is no other man."
Another missive says 81 couldn't
marry you after what happened at
Duluth"

Minot, N. d., Jan. 8.-Perfection
Of arrangements whereby all per-
Sons who are not financially able to
pay for vaccination for smallpox,
and who upon signing such state
ment. will be vaccinated free of cost
by DR.. F. E. Wheelon, city health
officer, was announced recently

other cities throughout the country
in its throes.

FOUR READY TO INTRODUCE BILLS
PROVIDING CIGARETTE LICENSE TAX
Probable That Several Legis-
latOrs Favoring Proposal
Will Endeavor to Agree
Upon One Bill to be Intro
duced in the Assembly

Four different bills already have
been prepared providing for repeal
Of the state anti-cigarette law and
| licensing the sale of cigarettes,
| which was recommended, by Cover
nor Sorlie in his message.
Four different bills have been
prepared by as many different
groups dealing with the repeal and
| subsequent licensing of cigarette
sales. One bill is modelled after
the Iowa law. This proposal pro-
vides extreme penalties for viola
ton of the act or sale of cigarettes
! to minors; classification of cities
with licenses fixed at S25, $50 and
SIS in the cities Of the third second
| and first class respectively; requires
bond from the dealer that he will
not sell cigarettes to minors; pro-
vides injunction against the place Of
business, turning the lock in the
door" for year; and provides for
| recovery of damages for sale to
minors.
This bill is, according to it's spon-
sors an identical copy of the Iowa
law except for the tax on the Gig
arettes. Cigarettes which weigh 3
pounds or Under per thousand would
be charged one mill per cigarette
tax; brands weighing over 3 pounds
per thousand would pay tax of 2l.
mills per cigarette; cigarette papers
would be taxed one half cent per
unit of so, or two cents on each
nickel book Of 200 papers.
Under this proposed measure
Camels, Fatimas, Chesterfield and
similar 20 to package brands
would pay four cents a package tax;
/ Sweet Caporels, Home Runs and
similar cheaper grades would pay
about a cent and half; while
Schinasi Naturals, Murads, Pail
Mells and similar brands would pay
about two cents.
Another bill is modelled after the
South Dakota law, following that
states statute in each particular
except the amount of tax. Where
South Dakota taxes each "2O to a
package" sale one cent; the bill in
question fixes the tax at two cents.
Each of the other two of the four
bills drawn grades the tax on the
sale price of the cigarette package.
Late Wednesday afternoon, legis-
lators sponsoring the four bills at
tempted to find basis on which all
could agree on one particular meas
| ure prior ito introduction Of the bill
-coordinating the desirable points
of each. 1t was generally conceded
that only a bill providing a consid-
cradle revenue could be passed, but
| members were at variance as to
what constituted an equitable stamp
taxa tax as high as possible but
not so high as to defeat the very
purposes of the act-more revenue.
It was considered probable that
forces favoring the repeal Of the
anti-cigarette law,-both leaguers
and independents favoring the meas
ure-would get together on a COM
| mon bill before the end of the week.

u. s. HELD RIGHT

Washington, Jan. g. Secretary
Hughes, in a letter read today to
the House Naval committee, took the
position that elevation of guns on
American capital ships would not
violate the arms treaty, although
it might have the unfortunate effect
Of tending to promote naval compe-
tition.
The letter also recited that while
Great Britain had taken the view
that the alterations proposed would
be q violation bf the treaty, Japan
took the opposite position.
