ACTUARY MAY
BE CALLED T9..,..,,, !,
PROBE BUREAU
Governor Will Suggest Such
Course If Compensation
Fight Develops

An investigation of the state work
mems compensation bureau by an i'm
partial actuary will be suggested by
Governor A. G.. Sorlie If the proposal
to change the present benefit scale
becomes an important issue ut this
session of the legislature.
The executive said this morning
that he believes an impartial survey
by competent and dtsinterested au-
thority should disclose the facts
which it would be necessary to know
before any intelligent revision of the
compensation law could be made. If
a fight on the proposal develops in
the legislature, the governor said he
probably would suggest such q
course. He indicated that he would
take the action in an effort to pre-
vent the proposal frome becoming a
political football.
Commissioners See Governor
r. e. Wenzel, commissioner of the
bureau, who is advocating the reduc-
tion in the benefit scale, called on
Governor Sorlie yesterday. Hot on
his heels came s. S. Mcdonald, the
commissioner who is contending th&t
the benefit scale should not Be
touched. Wenzel was appointed on
the commission to represent the en-
ployers and Mcdonald was appointed
to represent the employees.
Wenxel presented Sorlie with data
which he contends proves the justice
OF his contentious. McDonald also
had mass Of data which he a1id
proves just the opposite. Eaeh is
prepared to appear before any legis-
iative committee, which may conaider
the proposed bill to reduce the hepe-
fit scale, and give his version. 4

Chaff From the
Legislative Mill

That journals of the senate are
poor reading is the opinion Of Senator
J. E. Eastgate, Grand Forks county.
The journals are "not worth as
much as five-cent cigar would be to
some people," he asserted. "There
are several members Of this body who
wouldn't be able to follow the session
by studying the journal, and there are
some Of us who don't know what Is
going on even when we sit here and
listen to it," he said.
His remarks came during . discus
sion on the advisability Of keeping
the journal mailing list under 5000
copies by cutting Oft schools. other
than first class, from the list unless
the copies were requested. Aftsr
some debate. the mailing committeN
was givn instructions to use its own
judgment.

13.--(AP)--A slayer of two wom-
en- and a college student, who sue
cessfully barricaded h imself
against an armed community for
eight hours, met his nemesis early
today in a fusillade of shots in the
basement of his home.
w. B. Johnson, merchant, went
dcwn severely wounded before the
charge Of IL deputy sheriffs who
gained entrance by the use Of dy-
Mantle. At a Knoxville hospital,
physicians said he had chance to
live.
Machine guns, automatic rifles
and tear bombs were used in at
tempts to dislodge Johnson who,
armed with revolvers and $50
rounds of ammunition, held scores
of deputy sheriffs at bay.
johnson, former deputy sher-
iff, yesterday met Mrs. Josie B.
Howard, 60, cripple, and her
daughter, Mrs. Josie Howard Bish-
op, 25, a widow, acquaintances OF
long standing, as they were re-
turning from a shopping trip.
Both Mortally Wounded
An argument between johnson
and the women was suddenly pune
tuated by revolver fire, and both
women fell mortally wounded, each
shot through the mouth.
johnson fled to his home and a
crowd quickly gathered about the
house. Suddenly the slayer ap-
peared in an upstairs window and
fired two shots into the crowd.
! D.brell Hicks. a college football
player, fell dead, and the crowd
scattered. Then the officers ap-
peared, and while automobile head

| chine guns spat challenge. Aft
er several spirited bursts the firing
became desultory and there was no
answer from the building. But Of
! ficers hesitated to enter, and fin
ally decided to use dynamite.
House Partially Wrecked
Five sticks were thrown. After
i the crash hing detonations had
wrecked the front part Of the
building, the officers crawled in,
but Johnson was not to be found.
Sheriff Walter Anderson led his
men to the basement and from the
darkness they were greeted bv re-
volver fire. One answering burst
and the fight was ended. johnson
had two wounds, in the right eye
and leg.
Many rumors as to the cause OF
Johnson's difference with the wom-
en- he killed were heard in the com.
munity of 800 today, but few per-
sons knew more than that the mar
and Younger woman had been ac
quainted before her marriage
