HASTINGS CASE
AGAIN ARGUED
IN HIGH COURT
Former N0npartisan League
Leader Appeals From PEN
itentiary Sentence

Arguments We're presented to the
supreme court Tuesday in the case
Of !. j. Hastings, one-timc Nonpar-
tisan League financial wizard.
\. I. Faber, attorney for Hastings,
based his appeal from the sentence
OF Hastings to serve five years in the
state penitentiary on two separate
charges, on the ground Of errors by
the court at the time Hastings was
sentenced.
He contended that the Morton
county district court erred in deny
ing Il motion in arrest of judgment
made prior to the sentence and also
in denying "a motion to withdraw
Hastings guilty plea and substitute
one of not guilty.
John Sullivan. Mandan, special a,
torncy general, argued that Their.
were no technical errors in the court
procedure but that Hastings had been
shown every consideration permissi-
Bile under the law.
Hastings was sentenced to two
years in the penitentiary on charge
Of violating the state blue sky law
and three years for cmbezzling the
funds Of the New England State
bank, of which he was president, the
sentence to run cOnsecutively.

Safety Education
Held Best Way to
Prevent Accidents

Fargo, N. D., Dec. 15.-LR)-Safety
education Of the public rather than
the enactment of stringent regula-
tory measures is the best method of
preventing accidents, according to
George C. Hoenck, Fargo's street
commissioner.
During q 40-mile trip to a neigh
boring city, Hoenck said. he recently
counted about 40 automobiles with
one headlight burning. despite the
law requiring all automobiles to have
two headlights.
If we could educate the people
who are careless about the observ-
ance of this law am sure much great
er good could be accomplished. Only
thoughtlessness and carelessness
cause the breaking Of this statute.
II people realized that they are en-
dangering, not only their own lives
and safety but the safety of others
using the highway there would be
little Of it.
I'm some communities people with
one headlight arc picked up by law
enforcement officers and taken to the
nearest garage to have their lights
repaired at once. At the same time
the number of the car and name Of
the driver is taken and reported to
some central authority. If the same
party is again picked up with but
one headlight he is given q fine.
Sew persons are intentional law
breakers. II autoists can be made to
realise that they are endangering
themselves and other persons with
the possibility Of causing death they
will Immediately become more care
ful. You can lead people oftener
than you can drive them"

DAMROSCH HAS

larity-Will Become Honor
ary, Guest Conductor

New York, Dec. 15.-(R)-Walte
Damrosch, who became conductor of
the New York Symphony Orchestra
AZ years ago at the age of %, has
resigned at the peak of his popularity
rather than wait until music lovers
begin to whisper that he no longer
is the Damrosch of old.
The directors, in accepting his
resignation, declared it marked "the
end of a musical era"
on the death of his father, DR.. Leo
pold Damrosch. who founded the or
chestra in 1873. His resignation will
become effective at the close of the
present season, when, at the request
of the directors, he will become hon
0rary and guest conductor.
"In looking back I seem always to
have been pioneer, first with the
Wagner music dramas, then with the
concerts for young people and chill
dren, and now today with something
entirely new, the RADIO" said Mr..
Damrosch.
1--WE have played a concert each
week for six weeks past to an au-
dience estimated to number two mil
lion persons. They listen in from
Alberta and Hudson Bay down to
Louisiana and Florida.

NORTH DAKOTA
FREIGHT RATES
HELD i N AIR
Traffic Expert For Fargo
Commercial Club on Wit
ness Stand Today

changes in the rules and classifi-
cations applied to intrastate freight
were recommended To the state rail
road board today by N. Il. Williams.
traffic expert for the Fargo Com
mercial club.
Testifying at the boards general
investigation into all intrastate rates,
Williams expressed the belief that
the same rules and classifications
now applied to interstate shipments
in Western Trunk Line territory
should be applied to North Dakota,
both for the benefit Of North Da-
kota shippers and in the interest of
uniformity.
tie pointed out numerous instances
wherein intrastate rules and classifi-
cations differ from those applied to
interstate traffic.
Presents Statistics.
Williams was still ON the stand at
noon after having presented several
exhibits which, he said, tended to
show the Exceptionally healthy
financial condition of the railroad
lines serving North Dakota as well
as the high intrastate scales in ef-
feet today in North Dakota as COM
pared to other states bordering on
North Dakota. He presented numer-
Gus statistics on railroad income and
alleged surpluses which, he said, have
been accumulated by the railroads.
The witness presented numerous
examples of the effect Of applying
certain rules to intrastate commerce
while other rules have been made for
interstate commerce and in some
states for intrastate commerce. He
cited eases in which rates for 20
mile haul are Is cents when they
should be II under standard practices
established elsewhere, and rs cents
where other states enjoy rates of
1Sa cents for the same distance.
Comparisons with South Dakota rates
were made, in each instance prejudi-
cial to North Dakota shippers.
Average Rates
Reducing his figures to averages,
South Dakota for all freight included
in the four major classifications is
58h cents, or 1874 per cent Of the
North Dakota rates for the same
Rates for Nebraska,
where the population per square mile
is approximately the same as North
Dakota throughout much Of the
state, also were cited by Williams
as evidence that North Dakota intra-
state rates are unreasonably high.

ALICE HOIST
NOT SORRY SHE
KILLED NAFUS
Prolonged Brooding Over
Wrong Man Is Alleged to
Have Done Her, Cause

Stanley, N. D., Dec. 15.-LR)- -Ex-
pressing no regret for the Staying Of
William Nafus at Sanish on Monday
afternoon, Alice Hoist, 2O-year-olti
daughter of well known farmers re-
siding between Van Hook and Sanish,
today is held in the custody Of Sheriff.
Odin Stray in this city while author
tiles are going forward with prepar-
ations to file charge of first degree
murder against her.
Conviction on the charge would
subject the bobbed-haired, unassum-
ing slayer to a sentence of life inn
prisonment in the state penitentiary.
1T was my own act and deed and
if | had it to do over again, I'd do
the same. No one prompted me to do
it. and I'm not sorry" was the state
ment reported to have been made by
the girl to Sheriff Stray and States
Attorney c. N. Cottonham Of Stanley,
who brought her to this city late
yesterday from Sanish.
Broods Over Wrong
The nights and days Of brooding
over wrong which Nafus is alleged
to have perpe.rated upon her is the
major motive which is believed by
authorities of Mountrail county to
have resulted in the girl shooting
Nafus in the Amsler pool hall at San
ish.
Going to the pool hall on Monday
afternoon, Miss Hoist called Nafus to
the point where she was standing in
side the front door, pulled a .38 cali
bre revolver out of her coat pocket
and fired. the bullet striking Nafus
in the heart. As the revolver shot
rang out she swooned on the floor,
the weapon falling beside her. Nafus
walked few steps, told the horri-
fled group Of about 20 men and boys
to call Il doctor, then slu.nped to- the
floor and died within few seconds.
The lips Of the girl today we're
sealed concerning motive for the
Staying, but to her mother, Mrs. Gust
Hoist, she has confded her reasons,
it is known, and it is the mother who
has verified rumors that have been
current that the girl is alleged tn
have been wrongcd by Nafus.
