STUDENT TELLS
OF GIVING OF
POISON PILLS
Ohio State University Fresh.
man Admits He Was The
Cause of Deaths

Columbus, o., Feb. 10.-Louis Fish
10, freshman in the College of Phar-
macy at Ohio State University, was
in Jail here today for further ques-
tioning in the investigation of the
death of two University students and
the illness of others, following his
admission last night that without
permission he had dispensed poison
capsules to David l. Puskin, fel-
low student, which caused his death.
Fish was held incommunicado.
Fish, while admitting he failed to
tell all he knew of the facts on be-
ing questioned, denied he put poison
in the capsule bottle. Puskin, Fish
told the city prosecutor, was his
"best friend"
His willingness to do favor for
Puskin, Fish said he now realized,
caused the latter's death. At the re-
quest of Puskin. he said, he entered
the pharmacy dispensary to get ga
couple Of capsules that wouldn't be
missed" although Puskin had d pres
cription for the capsules in his pos
session. The capsules normally cost
20 cents.
Fish, the first student to be ques-
toned last. Wednesday, was also one
of the first two students, who were
on duty in the dispensary during the
week, when the poison capsules were
dispensed.

BILL ASSAILED
IN COMMITTEE
President of Consumers
League Hits Commission
Recommendations

Washington, Feb. 1O.--The Wilt
ans bill, designed to carry out the
recommendations of the Presidents
agricultural commission, was assail-
ed today before the House Agricul-
ture committee by B. +. Yoakum,
chairman of the Farmers to- Consum-
ers League who said it would pro-
tect those now engaged in depriving
the farmers "of their just dues"
The measure "would so strength
en- the oppressive powers" controll-
ing farm prices that the farmers
"would be left the choice of losing
their farms through foreclosure or
deserving them," Mr.. Yoakum con-
tended.
He advocated the Curtis-Aswell bill
to provide for system Of cooper
ative marketing agencies and a
ten million federal loan"
The witness asserted that no law
could be written that would "rescue
the farmer through legislation pro-
posing to place the farming indus
try under government management"
and declared the Williams measure
showed concfusively that the intent
OF it was that the wholesalers, brok-
ers and commission men would be
the protected industries" and the
predominating power in controlling
farm products.

IN RIOT IN
FRENCH CITY
Drive on Catholic Party.
Newly Organized, When
1t Holds Meeting

Marseilles. Franl., Feb. lO.-(By
the A. PO-Nearly 100 persons were
wounded or bruised during attempts
by Communists to break up a meet
ing of the newly organized Catholic
Party, presided over by General De
Castelnau here last night.
The list of casualties at first es-
timated at slightly more than a score
was increased today by reports from
hospitals and police stations where
many of the victims presented them
selves.
Senator Slaissieres, the socialist
mayor of Marseilles, has forbidden
all public meetings for an indefinite
period.
The population of Marseilles is at
q high state of feeling, especially the
Catholics who resent the interfer-
ence with their meeting and alleged
the police failed to afford it proper
protection.
The clash was the first serious
one between the recently organized
Catholic Party and the Communists
the activities of both of whom Pre-
mier Herriot has termed sinister to
the present regime.
The casualties were about evenly
distributed among Catholics and
Communists except for four police
men who are reported to have been
the most seriously injured. Revolv-
ers were used during the attack but
blackjacks and loaded canes were the
weapons most favored.
The Catholic meeting had been ad-
vertised for some days but it was
only yesterday the Catholics announ-
ced their counter manifestation. The
hcstilities began while the Catholics
were proceeding to their meeting
hall. The Communists opened their
attack to the tune of the "Interna-
tionale" while the Catholics resist
ed to the strains of the Marseilles. y

the paper is to succeed it must have
the united support Of Nonpartisans.
Unfortunately l have incurred the
displeasure of an office-holding, Of
flee seeking element who would trade
off the party any time it served their
personal interest to do so. The
treachery and duplicity of some of
these men to the cause should be
shown up, but handicapped as l am
by a board that is long on criticism
and short on constructive assistance,
l find my hands tied.
81 have demonstrated that it is
possible to conduct a Nonpartisan
newspaper without begging for sup
port. The Nonpartisan has had
little other source Of support than
it's subscription. 1t has never asked
for or received gratuitOus penny
from any source, and l turn the pa
per ,over with every bill paid and a
great deal more money in the bank
than the paper started with.
II know something of the efforts
of the 'wrecking crew. which are, be-
ing made to effect a change in the
editor management. Their trouble
has been wholly unnecessary. for I
will be most glad to lay down my
work.
"For three weeks l have been con-
fined to my room at the Mckenzie
and after another week l hope to OBJ
tain permission from my physician
to return to Fargo
Mr.. Bloom also intends. he said,
to seek lower altitude for some
time. He is suffering from heart
trouble.
The stockholders meeting tonight

lively fight for control is expected.

sold at 81 each, in the last few days.

M'CURDY ASKS
SHOW W-D0 W n
COUNTY TAXES
Photos from Underwood L. underwood

F. f. McCurdy, states attorney,
who made his last campaign upon
the issue of collecting unpaid taxes
gave the following interview to The
Tribune today covering the latest
developments in the matter. He
said:
AT recent meeting of the coun
ty commissioners when f. G. Patter-
sen. chairman of the board was
absent. resolution was passed in
structing the county auditor to
proceed under the Wood law. The
vote on the resolution was favorable
with the exception of Commissioner
Swanson who voted against the res
olution.
"The next day it was voted to de-
fer action under the resolution for
ninety days after March l. On this
resolution Swanson, Patterson and
Soder voted aye and Bachman and
Moynier, no.
County Auditor johnson at this
meeting was given verbal instruc-
tions by members of the board not
to publish the resolution or give it
publicity.
1T is now proposed to hold a
special meeting, Wednesday, Feb.
II, and l suppose the purpose of this
meeting is to rescind the first res
olution. The law is plain in such
matters and it is my intention to
see that taxes are collected where
such collection is possible.
II have had the county auditor
list all unpaid taxes and those bid
in by the county and the total
amount reaches staggering figure
running into several hundreds of thou
sands Of dollars. Where county bids
in the taxes they draw interest at 6
percent, made survey of those
owing the taxes and find that very
few farmers are on the list. Most
of the taxes held by the county
cover land in the hands Of specula-
tors, loan companies and residents
of Bismarck
Some people are paying ten per-
cent on money to raise their taxes,
while the county holding the taxes
only gets six percent. This means
very low interest for those who are
delaying the payment of their taxes.
81 trust the board will see this
matter in the right light and notify
the county auditor to proceed and
collect the unpaid taxes, according
to the resolution first passed, re-
gardless of what property. owner is
concerned in the matter"

wet or something like that. John
has been the only one 1 could ever
allow to talk seriously to me about
you know"
Mrandon caught the witfulness in
her voice, the usefulness that came
into it at every mention of John. His
lips curled again, ever so slightly.
You will have to listen to great
many men who will talk Of mar
riage," he said. II think it is better
for you that you had your little
smash, last night before you had
plunged toosfar. John will be walt
ing. when you are ready to call him
if you really want him."
A deep flush warmed Joanna's
face. Her eyes hardened. Brandon
saw, but he had been. deliberate. He
met her eyes coolly. Before she
could make her attack he disarmed
her.
II fancy that whoever bestowed a
fortune upon you would prefer that
you be uninfluenced in your spend
ing of it-for a time. at any rate.
That, though, is only my own con-
clusion. And I'm wondering If you
will fit John into your new career
as snugly as you fitted him into the
one behind you"
Again Joanna surveyed the COM
pany around her while she con-
sidered what sort of reply to make.
She realized that Brandon had been
leading up to this-and she was UNI
| happy before a doubt that he had
succeeded in planting in her mind.
Would John fit in? Now? Into this
gay world Of pleasure, joy, I'M
repression, to which she was being
admitted? Could she, with him hold
! ing up for her the examples Of his
own old-fashioned ideals, exact from
her new opportunities their full need
of the only things she knew to be
worth while. She hated Brandon,
fiercely, she concluded. for con-
juring up the doubt. And hated him
for the cunning with which he had
stirred it.
She was brought abruptly out of
her reflections. The woman who had
once before lowered at the table, had
come up again. Joanna had not seen
that quiet signal from B-andon's
cigaret which was instantly caught
at the nearby table where a woman
sat with her escort, a man made
much after the pattern of Brandon
| himself.
Brandon rose and greeted the new
conner. Joanna looked up at her,
startled by sleek, perfectly as
sembled beauty that was as pungent
as the essence of some heavy per-
fume. Brandon made his presenta-
tions easily. Joanna caught the
softness of a foreign sounding name,
and heard that Brandon called the
stranger, "Yvonne." Despite the
pretenses. Joanna sensed, instructive
ly. that the meeting had been
arranged.
