DEFENSE WINS A
PARTIAL VICTORY
IN EWERT TRIAL

Faulkton. S. D.. Jan. l9.-tR)--
Judge j. II. Bottum to-day sustained
in part and oycrrulcd in part objcc-
tons of defense counsel to admis-
sion of nearly 200 exhibits as evil
dence in the Ewcrt cmbczzlcmcnt
trial. The judge permitted reports Of
the rural credit board and it's treas
urcr, made prior to the time A. W..
Ewert was removed as the treasurer,
to go into records. Bank statements
showing the amount Of rural credit
funds on deposit at the first of each
month were denied admission.
The decision was a partial victory
for the defense inasmuch as, should
the bank statements become ncces-
sary to proof Of guilt, it would de
yolvc upon the prosecution to call
as witnesses bank officials of about
100 South Dakota institutions. From
standpoint Of expense alone, the
prosecution looks upon this as pro-
hibitive.
In sustaining the objections to the
bank statements, Judge Bottum held
in effect that the law provided they
should be filed at the end of each
month with the state treasurer. Dur
ing the Norbeck and McMaster adj
ministrati0ns they were filed with
the state executive accountant.

SCRAP OYER
A MEMORIAL
STIRSU.'S.
Question Of Roosevelt or Viii.
son Memorial Brings
Much Argument

Washington. Jan. ia lot Of pol
tics is mixed up in the controversy
over the relative greatness of the
late Col. Roosevelt and Woodrow
Wilson.
It doesn't seem as II the validity
Of u dead mans claim to tho honor
Of Il national memorial ought to be
regarded as depending on whether
he was II Republican or Democrat,
but apparently that's the way Con-
gress looks at IL.
At any rate, Congress- members
arc divided mainly along party lines
on the Roosevelt Wilson memorial
proposition.
Same Site Is Wanted BY Both groups
Ii it were a question of the me-
mortal alone, two memorials would
settle the matter.
But, as was pointed out recently,
both groups want the same site.
As Washington is planned, just
one unoccupied spot remains, in pO-
tOmac Park, where an imposing mon
umcnt will show to the very best ad.
vantage.
The Rooscvcltians thought they
had this spot pre-cmptcd and had
their plans all drawn, but now the
Wilsonites arc making q strong
drive to upset the arrangement.
Colonel Would Laugh
A surprising degree of bitterness
is developing out Of the wrangle.
The Republican majority ut the
capitol is in II position to decide in
the Rooscveltians' favor and that's
their inclination, but it isn't easy
to 60 ahead with pretentious me-
mortal to their hero's greatness IL,
the face Of a formidable, though \
minority. protest that he wasn't as
great as they think he was.
The situation probably would
greatly entertain the colonel, il he
could be here to see it, but it en-
RACES his admirers.
The Roosevcltians, on the other
hand, are placed in the position Of
having to depreciatc the war presi-
dents accomplishments, as their on
ly means of combating his greatness
superiority to the coloneis.
Naturally this, in turn, infuriates
the Wilsonites.
Both sides realize that it's an un-
dignified squabble, they resent II
on their respective great mems ac-
count, and yet, while the other
keeps it up, neither one can stop it.
Plcbiscitc Would Only Widen the
Row
The suggestion. heard in a few
quarters, that the question be left
to national plebiscite, finds little
support, as it's argued such a solu-
ton simply would swell the row
from Washingtonian to countrywide
proportions, with no hope Of leading
to a generally satisfactory settle
nGnt IN any event.
A likelicr outcome appears TO be
the adoption of Congressional res
olution against the erection Of any
national memorial within less than
50 or 100 years following the death
Of the individual it is intended to
honor.
This will be a bitter pill for the
rival memorialists TO swallow, but
it is beginning to be agreed that
some way must be found Of tcrmin-

259 PERSONS
DIED IN 1924
FROM APOPLEXY
Greater Number of Deaths
Occurred Among Persons
Under Year Of Age

Apoplexy caused more deaths in
North Dakota during 1924 than any
other single cause, vital statistics for
that year. just completed by the state
health department, show. It account
ed for the demise Of 259 persons.
Other diseases Of the heart caused
1877 deaths and tuberculosis account
ed. for 224.
Three different forms Of pncumon-
ia caused total of 489 deaths. Of
these, brOnch0 pneumonia led the
way with 202, lobar pneumonia caused
141, and other forms Of pneumonia
LAG.
Other leading causes of death were:
CANCER of stomach, 1856; diabetes, ";
chronic nephritis, 1877.
OF the 1880 deaths reported in the
state in 1924, 2,74l were males and
2,l10 were females; 4,699 were white.
144 were Indians, and the remainder
were divided among II different ma
tionalitics.
First Year Most Dangerous.
The first year still is the most dan
gcrous, the statistics showed, and the
age division in which persons are
most susceptible to death is that be-
tween 60 and 60. The records showed
deaths of 974 infants and CSC per-
sons in the decade just past the 60
mark. That longevity is common in
North DAKOTA is shown by the fact
that the third age division in point
of the number Of deaths is that be-
tween 70 and 70, . total Of Cos per-
sons having reached their allotted
three score and ten years before the
grim reaper took them in 1924.
Deaths by the leading counties and
cities are shown by the following
