AIR DEATH EXPLAINED.
Barkesdale's Chute Opened, But
Caught on Ship. Says Report.

First reports of the accident which
befell Lieut. E. H. Barksdale yester
day, at McCook Field, Dayton. Ohio
attributing his death to the failure OF
his parachute to open, were corrected
by the Army Air Corps today.
According to a message received
from the commandant of McCook
Field, Lieut.. Barksdale jumped at
about 1000 feet while the plane was
spinning rapidly to the left, and the
opened parachute caught in the wires
of the plane, cutting the shroud lines.
No other details were given, but II
was thought here that the noted air
man fell right in line with the spin
ming ship which fouled his parachute.
The record for the efficiency of the
Army parachute to date is 100 per
cent, 1t was added.

The odd part Of the situation here
in New York. where shootings are the
order of the day and the night. is that
this State has the most drastic pistol
law Of any commonwealth in the
| Union. Usually. it is a crime only to
tote a pistol Here 1t is a crime to
own one without a special court per-
NIT. But as bootlegging thrives in the
whisky business. it prospers also in the
sale Of deadly weapons. The law is
as ineffective as if it were never
passed. Its only advantage seems to
lie in the fact that the finding of a
revolver In suspected premises permits
the police to hold suspicious charac-
ters for investigation and sometimes
to send them.
Usually the police of any city are
relentless In the pursuit of the per-
son or persons who kill fellow Of
f1cer. 1t is a tribal trait to search
out and punish those who have
struck within your own circle. But
lately New York has been baffled by

SALE OF MALT
T0NICILLEGAL
IN THIS STATE
Attorney General Shafer
Gives Ruling in Reply
to Brewery Query

Sale of the malt tonic recently au-
thorized by the federal treasury de-
partment is illegal in North Dakota
because of the state law, Attorney
General George Shafer told the
Pabst Brewing Co., Milwaukee, in a
letter today.
A bottle of the tonic was sent to
the attorney general by the Milwau-
kee firm with request for an opin-
ion. After examining the product
and discussing with an agent for the
company the proposed plan for SELL
ing it, Shafer held that it is illegal.
Although it is classed as a tonic
the fact that it would be sold in the
same manner that beverage is sold
places it outside the North Dakota
law, the attorney general explained.
Whether or not it could rightfully
be classed as beverage was not
discussed.
Attaches Of the attorney generals
office who sampled the mixture
agreed that it was not beverage in
the light Of pre-pr0hibition standa rds.
The fluid, which is dark brown in
color, was almost like a syrup, they
said.

Announces That He Will BE

Minot. N. d., Aprik 14.--fP)--Hal-

today announced that he will be a
candidate for the Democratic nomin-
alton as United States senator, at
the June primary election.
In his announcement he says: II
had not intended entering politics
this fall. Every indication was that
the present congress would give re-
lief to the farmers Of the northwest.
The great state Of Iowa took the
campaign in hand and with the Amer
lean council Of agriculture and the
scores of farm organizations cooper
ating with it, it was believed impos-
siblc that the administration could
refuse its good office. But believe
it is apparent to everyone now that
the tariff crowd Of the east and the
ultra conservative members Of con-
gress arc going to adjourn without
passing any effective legislation. In
view of that fact, and in view of the
Importance to North Dakota that this
handicap Of preferential for indus
try and labor, and l speak now of
organized labor, be overcome so as
to par the farmers dollar, it would
be unjust to the many friends who
are urging me to be candidate, not
to file for the Democratic nomina-
ton"

SHIPPERS OF
CREAM MUST
OBSERVE LAW
Cream Shipped in Dirty Cans
Have Caused Heavy Losses
in the State

Heavy losses sustained by North
Dakota creameries as the result of
cream shipments received in cans un-
fit for use has caused the dairy diyi-
sion of the state department Of agri-
culture and labor to issue warning to
cream buyers that the state law must
be observed.
Bright red placards on which are
printed the main items of the state
law governing the shipment of un-
clean cream have been sent to every
cream buyer in the state. They are
especially warned not to accept cream
contaminated with gasoline, kerosene
or other oils.
One creamery recently lost 1.lOO
pounds Of butter as the result of con-
tamination caused by shipping cream
in can which had contained gaso-
line. it was said at the dairy depart
ment. Other creameries have report
ed similar losses although every eff
fort is made to detect cream shipped
in contaminated cans and reject it,
Gasoline Taints Cream
One of the main troubles. according
to dairy department officials. is that
farmers haul gasoline to their farms
for use in tractors in empty cream
cans, then fill the cans with cream
and return them to the creamery.
Since only hard securing and treat
ment with steam under pressure will
remove the taste of the gasoline from
the cream it is worthless to the
creamery. Even hogs will not eat
cream from oily cans. state officials
said.
Another factor is that only one Gan
of oily cream is needed to contamiKate
an entire churning and that after the
churning the buttermaker must scour
and steam his churn before it can be
used to make sweet butter again.
The dairy department is asking
cream buyers to notify it when any
producer attempts to sell contaminat-
ed or poor quality cream. giving the
producers name and address and q
brief description of the product Of
fered.

Chicago, April l4.-R-Colonel
Frank l.. Smith, foe of the world
court, has been nominated by ILL.,
nois Republicans as their senatorial
candidate over Senator William b
Mckinley, who voted for the mea-
sure in the senate.
He will be opposed in the Novembcr r
election by George Brennan, Demo-
cratic chieftain and an avowed wet,
who distanced his two rivals by an
overwhelming vote.
Senator McKinley's vote for Amer
lean adherence to the world court
was made the chief issue Of Colonel
Smiths campaign and the lattcr's
aides attributed his victory to his
stand against the measure. 1t was
the first opportunity voters have had
to register their feeling toward the
proposal since anti-world court
forces started their campaign to de-
feat senators who voted for adher-
ence.
The statewide primary yesterday,
which was marked by the death Of
six persons in riots in Herrin, Illi-
nois, and by considerable shooting
and disorder in Chicago, saw victory
for boxing in this city and in
several downstate municipalities.
Chicago also approved bond issues
totaling nearly $2O,00O,000, one Of
which provides for a geological park.
Without boxing for a quarter of Il
century after fake match had rais-
ed the bars against the sport, the
victory may mean the holding Of the
Dempsey-Wills heavyweight title
match here next September.

Various Particulars
JARDINE OPPOSES BILL

Washington, April ll-RY-Aftc,
seven weeks Of public hearings, tho
house agricultural committee wa.
confronted today with the task OF
reaching an agreement on a surplus
crop bill in time TO permit it's con.
'slderation by congress before ad-
Journment stops the legislative ma
chinery, u month or six weeks from
now.
The house committee wound up its
hearings last night, several hours af.
ter the senate agricultural commit.
tee had voted approval of the corn
belt farm relief bill as a rider to the
cooperative marketing measure, and
indications had been given that the
proposal. which would levy fec on
basic crops to combat the drag on
prices resulting from surpluses,
would be unacceptable to the admin
is,ration.
House Has Passed Bill.
The cooperative marketing bill al
ready has passed the house and is fav-
ored by administration officials, but
the senate committees action will
bring the corn belt proposal to a vote
IN that chamber first. This bill oc-
cupied most of the house committee's s
attention at its hearing. and indica-
tions have pointed to its modifica-
tlon in various particulars before it
is reported.
Although the corn belt bill was not
mentioned. a letter from Sec. Jar
dine to Chairman Haugcn Of the
house committee. and Senator Capper.
Republican. Kansas. formed the basis
for belief that he was opposed to that
proposal. and il has been known for
some time that President Coolidge
expects TO rely chiefly on his judg
ment in reaching a decision on any
farm relief measure.
The secretary's letter. made public
after the senate committee had ap-
proved the corn belt plan, outlined a
Legislative program calling for u fed
cral commission to assist farmers in
their products. acting
through the department Of agricul-
ture and their own organizations.
The commission would be aided by
an advisory council and provided
with a revolving fund for use in t;,-
Of cooperative marketing
agencies to a point where they could
handle surplus crops without govern
mcnt assistance.
