SELF DEFENSE
PLEA EXPECTED
FROM LENARD
Bowman County Farm Hand
Claims He Feared For His
Life and Shot Pippin

Bowman, n. D.. Feb &. up While
funeral services were held here today
for Arthur Pippin, slain last week
by jack Lcnard, his farm hand, Len
ard languished in the Bowman county
Jail under charge OF first degree
murder.
A cOroner's jury late yesterday
found that Pippin had come to his
death fcloniously by shooting with a
gun in Lenard's hands. A first de-
gree murder charge was filed immc-
diately and Lenard will be given a
preliminary hearing later this week
before Martin Madden, justice Of the
peace. He will be bound over to the
district court.
Lenard is expected to plead self
defense, alleging that Pippin cursed
pitchfork following an argument.
Before he died, Pippin made a
statement characterizing the shoot
ing as a "cowardly act" States At
torney Mark Amundsen said. and
claimed that Lenard shot him from
behind. The wound did not bear out
this statement, however. and the bull
let which killed him was found in his
clothes. Lenard's contention is eX-
pected to be that he feared Pippin in
tended to kill him and fired in de-
fense of his own life.
Amundsen said today evidence in
his possession shows, however, that
Lenard went to the house on the Pip
pin farm and returned with rifle
to the place where Pippin was shot.

ONLY WET CAN
BE PRESIDENT,
SAYS BUTLER
Dry Republican Would Have
No Chance Against Smith
Or Ritchie, He Says

New York, Feb. S.-R Nicholas
Murray Butler, Republican president
Of Columbia University. expects that
President Coolidge will decline to
run for reelection next year. 1t is
also his view that no man not frankly
wet can be elected.
Speaking at Il meeting Of the River
side Republican Cub last night, DR..
Butler said:
Zone of the deepest and most per-
sistent convictions of the American
people is that no president should
have three terms of office. 1t is idle
to define as to the length Of either OF
the two terms which president may
have had. That president has served
two terms who has twice taken the
oath of office"
DR.. Butler spoke Of the bitterness
engendered by attempts to name
Grant for a third term and recalled
Rooscvelt's statement objecting to !;
third term, voiced in 1904.
"The Republican party is going to
have hard enough time in 1928" he
said, without inviting certain defeat
through injecting the third-term is,
sue into the campaign"
Campaign ISSC<S
DR.. Butler said prohibition, farm
relief and foreign policy would be the
issues Of the campaign.
"The notion that either Governor
Smith or Governor Ritchie, should he
be the Democratic candidate, can bt
defeated by a Republican who is not
openly opposed to prohibition Is
quite groundless," the educator con.
tinued. "For the first time since
1884, it seems likely that the presi.
Dental election will be settled in 1925
by the vote Of the city Of New York

candidate who is so strong in the
city of New York that he will keer
the adverse majority down to 25O,OO(
or SOC, 1000 at most
"Any candidate Of the Anti-SaloOn
League or the Ku klux Klan or any
one who tries to dodge the prohibition
issues" DR.. Butler said, would find
arrayed against him New Hampshire
Massachusetts, Rhode Island. Con

Illinois, Wisconsin, Missouri. Mon.

electoral votes, and not improbably

Pierre, S. D., Feb. 8.-@ Capital
punishment for murder in South Da-
kota loomed today as the senate sent
the house measure with that provision
to the governor after passing the bill
yesterday without debate. The vote
was 81 to Is.
Absence Of debate was as much a
surprise to senators as it was dis

which had gathered in the expectation
OF verbal. pyrotechnics over the mea-
sure. Several speeches had been pre-
pared on the measure, but when
Lieutenant Governor Covey called for
discussion not senator moved.
Although there is no indication of
Governor Bulow's attitude on the
measure, it was said that the chances
Of his vetoing or signing the bill are
about equal.
The bill is that Of Representative
Otto Johnson Of Sphinx county, and
provides for electrocution or life i'm
prisonment on conviction Of murder
with the penalty to be fixed by the

The senate also passed the cohpan-
ion bill of the capital punishmen

persons who object to the death pen

GUARANTY BILL
IS INTRODUCED
IN MINNESOTA
Measure Provides Plan of
Mutual Insurance Of De-
p0sits, Author Explains

St. Paul, Feb. 8.--(R-Anothe,
plan for insurance Of bank deposits
appeared in the Minnesota Legislature
today when members of the senate
and house completed preparation of a
bill modelled largely after the Nebras-
ka guaranty law.
The bill was to be introduced in
the senate today by Senators Victor
K. Lawson, liver j. Lee, c. j. Pulitzer,
L. r., Lund. A. M. Landry, Henry
Arens, Frank Romberg and Moses L.
Frost.
Though designated a bank guaranty
bill. the measure really provides a
plan Of mutual insurance Of bank de-
pcsits, Senator Lee, one Of its authors,
explained.
Provides Assessment
Under the bill payment of interest
on deposits in state banks would be
limited to three and one half per cent.
instead Of four per cent, which most
of the banks pay. For the first two
and a half years, the bill provides.
there would be an annual assessment
OF one half of ono per cent on de-
pOsits in the banks to build up a
state guaranty or insurance fund.
The assessment would bring in a
fund Of approximately $8,OOO,OOO by
the end of this period.
After this fund is built up, during
the first two and lfSyears. the
assessment would be one tenth Of one
per cent a year, with possible in
crease in the way Of special assess
nent If the guaranty fund should
fail below two per cent Of the de-
posits in the state banks. A special
assessment Of one quarter of a per
cent would be permitted.
Thus depositors in the banks
would pay for the increased protec-
tion given by the insurance fund.- the
reduction in interest rate covering
the assessment.
Completing the preparation of their
bill. authors Of the measure made
public q signed state msnt. calling at
tention to the laree number Of banks
which have failed in Minnesota and
urging the need Of guaranty plan. The
statement pointed out that 236 state
banks having total deposits of $54,-
71l.208.68. have closed in Minnesota
since 1921.

REVOLUTION
AT 0PORTO is
IN FULLSWING
Virtually All Civilian P0pula-
tiOn Is Under Arms-Hun-
dreds of Casualties

London, Feb. 8.-LR)-Not only was
the Portuguese revolutionary move
mcnt still in full swing today in
Oporto, where it began last week,
but news paper reports from the cap
ital, Lisbon, were that virtually all
the civilian population there was in
arms.
Other uncensored dispatches reach
ing London indicated that the move
ment as first confined to an in
surgent garrison at Op0rto, had as
sumed serious proportions with the
revolutionaries clamoring for res
\ stOratiOn of the constitutional rights
which they allege were suppressed
by President Carmona when he as
sumed the dictatorship after a mill
Stary coup last spring.
Wheh word of the insurrection at
Oporto reached Lisbon several days
ago, President Carmona in his ca
pacity as war minister, hastened to
the district to organise his forces,
confident that the revolt would be
short lived. But insurrectionists re-
fused to surrender.
Only meager, garbled reports have
come out Of Portugal the lest few
days because of the censorship; they
seem to agree that the revolution has
not been without some heavy fight
ing. that serious damage was done to
sOporto by the bombardment and
that there have been hundreds of
casualties.
. The Lisbon correspondents Of the
Daily Express, announcing that
nearly all the civilian population of
Lisbon is enthusiastically supporting
the movement, says its success
!" seems certain"

at Los Angeles
BUSINESS ASSOCIATES
Suicides Wife, With Men on
the Links, Becomes Hys-
terical After Shooting
BUSINESS ASSOCIATES

Los Angeles, Feb. S.-(P)-The
story Of tragedy on the golf links
was woven today into the annals Of
the royal and ancient game in Los
Angeles, as police sought to learn
why Andrew Jankowski, Toledo, Ohio.
i automobile dealer, yesterday shot and
probably fatally wounded his old
friend and business partner, Cornelius
J. Callahan, on the Bellevue club
links and then killed himself.
Mrs. JankOwski, who was with them
in threesome and who witnessed
the shooting, was under care of a
physician after having become hys-
terical and unable to tell coherent
story.
Police believe Jankowski was seiz-
ed with fit of temporary insanity,
precipitated by an argument over the
golf cards.
Threatened to Kill His Wife
Mrs. Jankowski told Deputy Sheriff
Stensland her husband flared into a
rage, cried out that he was going to
kill her and drew pistol. Callahan,
she said, leaped between her and her
angered husband at the critical mo-
mcnt and dropped with the bullet in
his head.
you've killed the best friend
ever had," Mrs. Jankowski screamed.
Jankowski then turned his weapon
on himself and sent bullet into his
temple.
The womnl's screams attracted 9TH
cr players who rushed up to find both
men lying on the green.
Had Nervous Breakdown
Jankowski recently suffered a
nervous breakdown and came here
with his wife month ago, hoping to
regain his health. Callahan accom-
panied them. The two friends fire.
quently played golf together.
Jankowski and Callahan had been
close friends and business associates
for several years. The former was
president and general manager Of a
motor sales company in which the
latter was q heavy stockholder. Call
ahan was general manager of soft
drink manufacturing concern in which
Jankowski was one Of the heaviest
stockholders.
Besides his widow, Jankowski
leaves q son, Andrew, Jr.
