stephens has been instructed by the
District Commissioners to study
with District AUDITOR Daniel j.

7 RAG ION
DEAL IS
HIT

Purchase of the Washington
Rapid Transit Company by the
North American Company Of
New York City was illegal under
the terms of the Public Utilities
Act and a very grave question
may arsie as to the legality" of
this company's holdings in the
Washington Railway and Electric
and Capital Traction Companies,
William NICK. Clayton, legal ad-
visor to the public utilities com
mission advised the commission
today.
No. Other Companies Offended
No other local public utility has
offended against this act by acquir-
ing and holding the stocks in an
other public utility without the con-
sent of either Congress or the com.
mission, Clayton declared, referring
particularly to- the case of the
Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone
~
These opinions were forwarded
by Clayton to the commission today
in a long brief outlining the legal
reasons for his opinions. The brief
was drawn up at the instruction OF
the commission. E
The purchase Of the Washington
Rapid Transit Company by the North
America n Company seems to be the
first instance IN its IA years of con-
troll where public utility submit

He then outlines various rulings
made by the commission on such APP
plications concluding with the fol

This question has little bearing
in the case of the company now

HEROISM Is

Lindsay, Ont, July 22-tP)-Revela-
tion of youthful heroism in connec-
tion with the drowning Of IL men,
bers Of the Anglican Church camp
today came out Of the wilderness
northeast Of Lindsay.
Fifteen youths we're thrown into
Balsam Lake when their canoe was
overturned IN q sudden squall late
Tuesday night. They held onto the
upturped craft, and aided one an
other as test they could until, one by
one, after hours in the water, their
strength gave out, they loosed their
holds and sank. Only four members
Of the party could maintain grips on
the keel until the canoe drifted
ashore yesterday.
An Ontstanding Here
Ray Shea Butcher, director Of the
camp and ot,e ,df those drowned, was
an outstanding hero. He vas among
the few who were able to climb on
top Of the overturned craft.
A. the hours passed and the ranks
Of the boys in the water were thin.
ming Butcher decided that he would
rive his place on top Of the canoe to
another. He offered up . prayer for
the safety Of those still surviving
and. bidding them goodbye, slipped
into the water and disappesred.

peatedly swan around the canoe. in.
structing the more youthful boys how
to hang on and begging them to keep
up their courage. AS the boys weak
ened, Lambden aided them in every
way he could until they became en-.
tirely helpless and disappeared be-
meath the water.
The four boys who drifted ashore
are under medical care. One is in ,
critical condition.

DEFENSE IN
!. MURDER CASE
NEARS CLOSE
Teacher Tells Of Giving Ash
ley Youth Mental Test
Mother on Stand

Wolf Point. Mont, July 22.-tP)--
The defense of Ferdinand Schlaps,
l8 year old Ashley, N. D., youth, on
trial for murder, ran into snag
yesterday. After- Dorothy Bond, Ken
mare, N. D.. teacher had told Of Civ
ing the defendant an intelligence
test, introduced to show that Schlaps
is mentally subnormal. the court bar
red her from giving her conclusions.
Miss Bond, who is graduate of
the Minot State Teachers college,
taught at Poplar, near Biem, where
Mr.. and Mrs. Anton Geisler were
slain on their farm home, the crime
with which Schlaps is charged.
interviewing Schlaps at the county
Jail, she gave him the Binet Simon
intelligence tests to determine mis-
mental age, she said. The tests were
given in similar manner to the meth
DDS used for her pupils.
As she was about to offer her con-
clusions the state objected and the
court Sustained the request.
Inmates Of the Jail who had OBJ
served Schlaps for more thane .
month were introduced. They de-
clared that he talked little, refused
to participate in card games with
them and. played solitaire when q
deck Of cards was given him.
Mrs. Christina Schlaps, mother OF
the youth, whose appearance on the
stand Tuesday occasioned his first
show Of emotion when he cried, was
cross.examined yesterday. Although
he had gone to school over q period
of nine years he actually attended
only 81 months, she said. He had
shown decided mechanical ability
from early age on their North Dakota
farm, she said. They moved to Mon
| tana in March.
Indications are that the defense
| will rest its case today.
