PLAN To BRING
SUIT AGAINST
STOCKHOLDERS
Persons Who Owned Stock in
Closed Banks Will Be
Made Defendants

Preparations to bring suit against
stockholders in closed North Dakota
banks now living in California. Wash
ington and Oregon will be made by
John Thorpe, first assistant attorney
general. and Judge c. NJ. Cooley,
Grand Forks, on trip begun this
week.
Thorpe will act as agent for l.. r.
Baird. receiver of closed banks. Judge
Cooley is the district judge appointed
to hear cases pertaining to closed
banks now in the receivers hands.
Many persons who were stockhold-
ers in closed North Dakota banks
now are residents of the west coast.
Attorney General George Shafer said.
The state has never been able to coli
lect from them under the bank stock
holders liability law because they do
not live here and have no property
in North Dakota which could be at
tackled if.judgment were obtained.
The idea now is to bring suit in
the courts of the state in which these
persons now live in order to obtain
jurisdiction over them. Under the
state law i person owning stock in
a closed bank is required to pay, for
the benefit of the creditors, an amount
equal to the par value Of the stock
owned.
Although he has no figures on the
subject Attorney General Shafer said
the total amount which the state will
seek to recover in the actions will
reach huge sum.
Thorpe and Cooley will retain at.
torneys to handle the cases for the
state receiver in the proposed actions
and otherwise prepare the way for the
suits. Under the state law the per-
mission of Judge Cooley must be had
by the receiver before he can begin
suits in connection with the affairs
of closed banks under his control.

Messages Say They Are i;a
''Fairly Good Condition"
Despite Wanderings
MISSING SINCE SUNDAY
Plane on Spanish Manila
Flight Forced Down 100
Miles From Amman

Cairo, Egypt, April 17.-GR-- Both
Captain Estevez, leader Of the Span
Manila fliers, and his mechani-
elan, Calvo. have been found. Mess
ages received here say they are in
fairly good condition. despite their
wanderings in the desert since last
Sunday. when their airplane was
forced down about 100 miles from
Amman, Palestine.
Captain Estevez was found by fly-
ing officer Coghill of the British air
forces, 40 miles from his abandoned
machine. His feet were bistered, but
otherwise his condition was said to
be fair. He was taken by airplane
to the nearest medical station.
Mechanician Calvo was found 25
miles further away from the plane.
If his condition permits, he will be
taken by airplane for medical treat
ment.
The British are at loss to explain
how the airmen subsisted during the
long period between their forced
landing and their rescue.

COOLIDGE HAS
OPEN MIND ON
RELIEF BILLS
Republican Leader Assures
\ House Consideration Of
Crop Surplus Bill
TINCHER BILL FAVORED
Chairman Haugcn Directed,
However, to Draft Proposal
Along His Ideas

Washington, April 17.-CR-With
plus bill assured BY Representative
leader, President Coolidge is main.
to the Tincher bill embodying Secre-
in marketing their products through
a farm commission provided with a
revolving fund out Of the treasury.
Chairman Haugen of the house
agriculture committee, which has
held hearings for several weeks on
the corn belt and other bills, has been
directed, meanwhile, to draft a pro.
posal along his own ideas. The com.
mittee, however, is not pledged t.
support his plan, which probably will
bring together some of the provisions
of the McNary-Haugen bill which
failed to receive congressional ap.
proval two years ago, and Of the
corn belt measure, with the equal.
zation fee proposed in the latter ap-
plicable to the first sales of wheat
corn, cattle and hogs. Both plans
contain the farm board idea.
While the president is not commit
ted one way or the other and will
wait until the opinions of farm group
members in congress have been
brought out, he is inclined toward the
principle of the Tincher bill in pro.
viding for assistance without putting
the government in the business OF
buying and selling crop surpluses
Mr.. Haugcn, on the other hand
would have the proposed board au
thorzed to buy and sell products il
the ,rice should fall below the worle
market quotation plus the impor1
tariff on that commodity, and wQule
empower the president to change
tariff rates to any point necessar!
TO protect the farmers from foreigI
competition.

0NTARIO'S EXPERIMENT WITH The LOCALIZED SALEOF
COMMUNICATING BEER DECLARED UNSUCCESSFUL
That Sale of Beer
Had Solved DOminiOn's Wet
and Dry Troubles Are I'm
true, Former Toronto AttOr.
ney General Tells Senate
Prohibition Committee.

Washington, Aprirl7.--(P Again
turning to Canada for light on the
prohibition question, the senate pro-
hibition committee was told today
that there was no truth in state
ments that sale OF beer had solved
the dominions wet and dry troubles
William f. Raney, former attorney
general of Toronto, Ontario, called
by the dry leaders, testified that
Ontario's experiment with the legallz-
ed sale Of Notwithstanding" beer
had not been successful.
"Thc beer drinkers said the four
per cent beer allowed under the law
did not have enough kick in it,"
I Raney said, "and the permits for the
sale Of this beer are useful to the
holder as disguise to sell something
stronger"
"Bootlcgging goes on in both the
wet and dry provinces of Canada, y
he continued, land the products Of
Canadian distilleries and breweries
have become well known in the Unit
ed States.
Law Enforcement Difficult
"This makes law enforcement in
the dry provinces more difficult" the
witness said.
"And il also makes law enforce
/ ment in the United States more diff
4 ficult," interjected Senator Herreld,
( Republican, Oklahoma.
Mr.. Raney said the efforts to sup
press the clandestine sale Of liquor
in Ontario had been reasonably sue
cessful and gave general satisfaction
TO the friends of the temperance act.
4 "The government control provinces
are Quebec, Manitoba, Saskatchewan,
Alberta and British Columbia" he
pointed out "These are the only sys-
TENS Of government control in an
! English speaking country anywhere
in the world. Three of them have
beer parlors, as they call them.
LESS than year ago Montreal
paid $4,000 to hear the truth about
itself. A police investigation was
held which produced 200 witnesses
and 10000 pages of evidence. Much
of the evidence about the drinking
under government control and so
cial vice and about the protection
Of crime and wrong doing was SEN
sational and the community 'gasped.
Large Dope Traffic
"NeXt to British Columbia, Quebec
province has the largest dope traf-
fic in Canada.
Zone Of the daily papers recently
quoted an unnamed official of the
{, Quebec liquor commission as saying
that the menace of the illicit liquor
F, still is one of the main problems
that faces the city Of Montreal that
it was increasing, and that the COM
mission estimated that there were
more than l,CO0 illicit stills in full
operation in and about the city"
The witness said Quebec had "the
system Of government control that
is most acceptable to the brewers and
distillers." He quoted Mayor Webb
Of Winnipeg as saying that condi-
tions there, due to government con-
troll, were Undermining the whole
social structure
