BUS SERVICE
MAY REPLACE
TROLLEY LINE
j. G. Belanger Outlines His
Plan to City Commission
Would Cover the City

Asking that the city Of Bismarck
grant him some sort of protection as
to routes and fares charged, J. G.
Belanger, head of the Interstate
Transportation company, described
in detail. to members of the city
commission Monday night his plan
Tor city bus service in the event that
the state discontinues operation of
the street car which now operates
between the business district and
the capitol.
Representative Gordon Cox of
Burleigh county Monday introduced
q bill in the house providing for dis
continuance Of the street car serv
ice and it is considered quite likely
that the bill will receive favorable
action if the legislators are assured
that a regulr bus service will re-
place it. Mr.. Belanger told the
city commission he is ready to
guarantee a regular bus service
twice an hour to and from the capi-
tol, If he is given reasonable pro-
lection by the city, in the form of
certificate of convenience or
franchise.
Reasonable Fares
A 10-cent fare would be estab-
lished, Mr.. Belanger said, with COM
mutation tickets available to those
who used the bus frequently at q
fare of seven and ons-half cents. He
would provide sufficient equipment
to take care Of any emergency and
would maintain regular scheduled
service. In addition to the capitol
run, he plans to operate bus service
over the principal thoroughfarcs in
the city. covering both the east
and west sections. These runs
would also be on regular schedule
twice hourly.
The city commissioners expressed
their willingness to cooperate with
Mr.. Belanger in every way possible
in order that the. street car line,
which causes much traffic congestion
especially during the summer months,
may be replaced by bus line. They
instructed the city auditor to get
copies Of ordinances from other ci-
ties where bus and taxi lines are
regulated by the municipalities. Upon
receipt of these copies; the question
will be given further consideration.

MILLIONS OF
MICE REMAIN
IN t0WLANDS
Estimated Cost of Extermina.
ting Those Still Alive
Placed at $4,5OO,O0O

Bakersfield, Calf, Jan. 25.--LP)--
Estimates by c. H. Bowen of the
Kern county horticultural department
and S. f. Piper of the United States
eovernment biological control depart
ment indicated today that between
30.00O,O00 and 50,O0O,OOO mice still
remain in the Bueno Vista lowlands,
despite the millions which migrated
into the Midway-Sunset oil fields, and
met death in the six weeks campaign
of trench and poison warfare.
Piper estimated from $4,000, 900 to
$5.OOO,OOO will be required to exter-
inmate the mice.
Estimates from personal inspection
by Mr.. Piper said the count hnd
showed as low as 400 mice to the
acre and as high as 1000. The in
Tested area comprises from $4,000 to
10000 acres, he said. An average Of
1000 mice to the acre for the 10000
acres would make = total of 10000. 900
mice and the report indicated this
estimate may be too low.

CLAIMS IN WISCONSIN

man and lay.preacher, who yestcr-
day confessed killing his bigamous
wife. Hattie Sherman Halcs, today

Dist5 SfMcy Kane of Du-
beques NaS expected here today to as
ssst in clearing up details Of the slay-
ing left unsolved in the confession
signed by Coffey in which he said
that he killed the 58.year-oh La
Crosse. Wis.,, woman after . quarrel.
Coffcy insisted that he killed her
accidentally by hitting her with q
baseball bat during z quarrel with
the woman while they were camping
on the Wisconsin side Of the Inter-
state Bridge, east Of Dubuque, on
October 13.
Claims Blow Wss an Accident
Describing the quarrel, Coffey said
that when Mrs. Hales brandished q
baseball bat he snatched it from her
and, with vigorous effort. attempted
to hurl it from their tent. The bat,
however, Coffey said, struck Mrs.
Mrs. Hale on the temple and she fell
dead.
II drove out on the bridge and
where l thought the river was the
deepest hoisted the body over the
railing and dropped it into the
stream" he said.
Authorities, however, suspect that
the death blow actually was struck in
Iowa. where, under the law, jury
may fix the penalty in a murder case
at life imprisonment or hanging. In
Wisconsin the extreme penalty is life
Imprisonment.
District Attorney Kane of Du-
buque and District Attorney R. P.
Clark of Juneau county will confer
today on the possibility Of bringing
Coffey to trial in Iowa in connection
with the killing.
Coffey Knows Law
Coffcy,. who at one time in his
varied career was an employe Of an
organization which aids ex-convicts,
has considerable knowledge Of Grim
inal law, particularly as it affects his
case.
II have confessed to accidental kill
ing in Wisconsin," he remarked to
District Attorney Clark yesterday.
IF you want to convict me Of MUIR
der in Iowa, will you please produce
the body?"
Regardless Of the status Of the
death charge which Coffey faces, he
also must contend with bigamy and
forgery charges. The forgery charge
already has been sworn against him
under Wisconsin laws.
Search for the body Of Mrs. Hales
in the Mississippi. near the point
where Coffey said he tossed it into
the river, would be futile, authorities
of Wisconsin and. Iowa counties
agreed last night. The river is frozen
and there is little Likelihood Of find.
