ARCHITECTS WANT
POLICY ASSURED
Capitol and White House
Frontages Should Be Pro-
/ tected, Says Institute.

Definite establishment Of the future
character Of the Capitol and White
House frontages. the American Inst
tute OF Architects declared in a public
brief issued today. instead of throw
ing cloud" over property, would II"
lieve the present situation from I'M
certainty"
Passage of the Shipstead bill regu-
iating the design and height of build
ings in the vicinity of public parks,
the institute holds, would not be suf-
ticient to protect the Capitol and White
House from the inroads of business
development. the only equitable solu-
ton apparent being acquisition of the
properties by the Government. Since
retroactive legislation is contiScation.
the brief points out that the Shipstead
bill could not affect buildings fog
which permits already have been IS
sued.
For this reason. the Institute re-
newed its appeal for Federal acquisi
ton Of the properties because the
price of delay will add between So
600, 900 and 100000 to the cost of
the properties" besides delaying devc-
iopment of these sections indefinitely.
RezOning of the areas was urged to

To Conduct Symposium.
Finding a good deal of misllnder-
standing concerning the questions in
volved in the controversy. the Amer
lean Institute of Architects. through
Horace w. Pea$<ae. chairman of its
planning committee, has undertaken
to conduct a symposium with a view
to allaying any apprehension that may
exist. Uncertainty would be removed.
MIR. Peaslee points out, by giving the
proper Federal authorities the right
to consider the use of these sites and
by forcing them to decide whether
Or not they wanted the property.
Definite establishment of the future
character of the frontages. the public
is assured. would force conformity in
architectural type for the Capitol to
scheme harmoniZing with the Senate
and House Office Buildings and for the
White House to scheme harmoniZinG
with the Treasury Annex
The reason why the institute speci-
fles 'harmonizing" instead of like

Authorization is necessary. it was

JUDGE ORDERS
DISMISSAL OF
MURDER CASE
Famous Bowen Murder Case
Ended Today BY Action of
Judge J. A. COffey

The so-called Bowen murder case
which has caused much comment in
North Dakota during the past seven
years, has been dismissed.
Judge j. A. Coffey, in Burleigh
county district court. today ordered

81, 1919. Of Murrel X. Bowen of Col

A. Miller. states attorney Of Golden
Valley county, had presented mo-
ton requesting such action. The mo-
ton was approved by Attorney Gen
eral George Shafer.
Delbert r. Offley, indicted with the
trio for Bowcn's death, was given 6
separate trial in Adams county in
June and July, 1921, after the ease
had been transferred from Golden
Valley county, first to Stark county
and then to Adams. Offley was nc.
quilted.
States Attorney Miller stated in
his motion that the question of the
innocence or guilt Of the other three
was indirectly submitted to the jur.
ut that time inasmuch as the jur,
was instructed if it believed any OF
the defendants went to the Bower
place with the intention Of killing
Bowen or committing any unlawful
act, it should find the defendant gull!

LOWER RATE TO
MEAN MUCH FOR
NORTH DAKOTA
People of State Will Save
Huge Sum From Cut in But.
ter, Egg, Poultry Rates

Not only will butter manufacturers
of North Dakota save more than
$4,000 annually in freight rates,
but they will be able to compete on
even terms with South Dakota but
ter dealers through the recent deci-
sion Of the Interstate Commerce
Commission lowering butter, egg
and dressed poultry freight rates
from North Dakota to Chicago and
Duluth, according to E. NJ. Hendricks,
traffic expert Of the state railroad
board.
Approximately 80 cents on each 100
pounds of these products, or $50 a
carload, will be saved on North Da-
kota shipments to Chicago under the
new rates, Hendricks said. Based on
shipments of 1850 carloads of but
ter, eggs and dressed poultry in 1925,
this would mean saving of about
$l41, 900. Slightly lower rates were
granted from NorthDakota to Duluth.
Provides Uniform Basis
In addition, Hendricks stated, the
decision establishes uniform basis
on rates from both North and South
Dakota to Chicago by lowering North
Dakota rates and increasing those
from South Dakota.
Aberdeen dairy products dealers
formerly had big advantage over
North Dakota firms, but the rates
now have been cqualized, he said.
"The principle we fought for was
that. mile for mile, North Dakota
rates should be no higher than any
Others" Hendricks asserted. He at.
tended the hearing before the Inter
state Commerce Commission at Du-
luth for two weeks. The railway
commission had interviewed for North
Dakota as a whole in pressing the
complaints against the rates brought
| by the Duluth Chamber Of Commerce
and the commercial clubs of James
town, Fargo, Valley City, Crane

Commerce Commission for two years

for all the Mandan cagers have but
one idea: TO beat Bismarck. and Bis
marck has the same idea about Man
dan.
The Mandan- Bismarck game is one
whose result can seldom be foretold
before il is half over. according TO
veteran fans of this vicinity. They
claim that regardless of how weak
either team may be before it comes
on the floor. that it strengthens
when the whistle blows and the bat
tie is an evenly fought affair for
half the game or more.
Result Hard to Predict
With two strong teams, the result
should be even harder to predict. On
both sides are stars. Heidi has done
some remarkable work for the
Braves in past games and if not
guarded too closely by the Demons
should do some more in this affray.
Mcdonald is making 4 name for
himself with his long shots. two of
which saved the Braves from defeat
in the Hebron game. He should be
strong threat to the Demons to-
night Seitz and Mcdonald make a
speedy pair for forward positions,
while Harold Borresen, if in at CEN
ter, can be expected to do much to-
ward helping the Braves to win.
Frank Wagner will probably be back
in his old position at guard and will
prove Il strong man in the Mandan
defense.
The Demons have been working
smoothly and are 'rarin' to 60" De-
fects which cast cloud Of gloom
