BUREAU WILL
GET DATA ON
HAIL STORMS
May BE Able to Predict Mum.
Der of Storms Which Will
Strike the State

Predictions as to the number Of
hail storms which may reasonably
be expected to strike North Dakota
during any growing season may be
accurately made in the future if a
movement in which the state hail
insurance department is co-operat-
ing works out as planned.
The movement, launched by the Ma
tional Storm Insurance Bureau. New
York City, has for its object the rat
ing Of districts for weather coverage
on the same basis that fire underwrit-
ing bureaus now set fire insurance
rates for cities and districts.
The cooperation Of the state hail
department consists in furnishing the
bureau with it's maps and claims for
study by actuaries Of the bureau
Purposes Of the Bureau
Outlining the purposes Of the bur
head Of the state department, the
New York organization explained that
it is a "rating bureau for the under
writing of all classes of weather
cOverage with rates developed on a
scientific basis in accordance with the
principles Of the Finley system Of rat
ing weather hazards. The system is
the result Of many years of inten-
sivc study and research with meteoro-
logical. Chronological and insurance
data covering long periods Of time.
The first two kinds Of data arc obtain
ed from the records of the u. S. Wea-
ther Bureau and the third kind from
insurance companies and from the
records of state departments Of in
surance."
The letter further explains that
scientific weather rating is based on
specially prepared data which are
subjected to prolonged statistical and
mathematical analysis.
The state department has sent for
such analysis it's notices of losss for
the year 1924 together with the storm
maps made up at the time for use by
state hail adjusters.
Complete Record Kept
These maps show by townships the
dates on which losses occurred and
the number. The state department
maps the course of each hail storm
reported during the summer, regard
less of whether or not losses are re-
ported. As result. Hagen said.
its data probably is the most complete
Of any hail insurance organization in
the world.
Since the state hail insurance fund
operates as mutual organization it
would be in position to make little
use Of weather hazard ratings worked
out by the bureau. Hagen said. 1t
would.be of benefit to have such data
covering the state, however, for scien-
tific, if for no other reasons. he
said. Another factor is that it might
enable old-line insurance companies
which still are writing hail insurance
in the state to more accurately gauge
the probable losses in any district
and hence to set their rates with
greater accuracy than they can with
the limited information now avail
able.

PROHIBITION
BILL WILLGET

House Suspends Rules For
Consideration of Admin
istrati0n Measure
LIMIT PUT ON DEBATE
Bill Would Give Bureau Status
to Prohibition En-
fOrcement Unit
LIMIT PUT ON DEBATE

Washington, April 27.--[P)-- Meas
ures to tighten rather than modify
prohibition enforcement held the
center Of attention today on capitol
hill.
House rules had been suspended to
permit quick action on an admins
tration bill to give bureau status to
the prohibition unit. now technically
part Of the internal revenue bureau
ana 10 the customs service.
Meanwhile, with u shcaf Of supple
mcntary bills designed to put more
teeth in the Volstead act submitted
to the senate through Chairman
Cummns of the judiciary committee,
General Lincoln G. Andrews, the en-
forccment commander, has added his
endorsement to the deportation bin
reported by the house immigration
committee as another measure to help
prohibition.
Would Eliminate Congestion
Holding that the "prepOnderance Of
law violations came from the foreign
born element" he expressed tho opin-
ION that the bill would provide for
"a house cleaning to rid courts Of
congestion Of prohibition cases."
Alien gunmen and narcotic peddlers,
under its provisions. would be sub
Ject to deportation 'as soon as guilt
has been established" and IA Jail
sentence of one year or more, or a
series Of shorter sentences tOtaling
Is months, would be made basis for
expulsion.
The bill before the house, by
creating prohibition bureau, would
give formal legislative sanction to the
practical enforcement of the present
unit from the internal revenue bur-
eau already effected by the treasury
in the reorganization of enforcement
agencies.
House leaders arranged for consid-
GRAFTON of the bill under suspension
Of the rules. limiting debate to 40
minutes. shutting off amendments
from the floor and requiring two
thirds vote for passage.
BACK WHERE We STARTED"
ONE ORGANIZATION SAYS
Washington. April 27-(AP) The
board Of public morals Of the Metho-
dist Episcopal church. through its
publicity organization. puts the result
of the recent senate wet and dry
hearings this way:
"Wcll. the hearings are over. and
we are back just about where we
were when it started. The-wets haven't
the votes and they cannot get the
votes without convincing the people.
and they haven't the facts with which
the people are to be convinced.
$50 prohibition will probably stay
little longer, and let's hope that all
good citizens will stand back Of the
law until it is repealed, if ever"
The statement said there was no
real necessity for the hearings, but
that the vets insisted so that they
could "use the opportunity as a ve-
hicle for propaganda" Senator Reed,
of Missouri, who did most of the cross
examining. came in for considerable
comment. the drys insisting that
much of his questioning seemed to be
trivial.

Frye left in one of the Government
automobiles with Lee Cumberland, an
other prisoner, who is still at liberty.
Evidently the break for freedom
was made on the spur of the moment
Frye. a former manager of an automo-
bile concern here, was the trusty in
charge of prison transportation and
frequently had driven to Washington.
On these occasions he could have got
away without trouble. but never took
advantage of the opportunity.
Now he loses his time off and faces
the charge of stealing a Government
car. The auto was recovered near
Massachusetts and Wisconsin ave-

After Frye's escape, the police
learned, he and Cumberland had
driven about the city in a car taken
from in front of the home of Edward
A. Neale, 3701 Massachusetts avenue
