Alas! Poor Bandit!
HOldup FOrgets Gun

Chicago, Nov. 21.-(AP)-The
decadent age of banditry seems to
have set in.
First there was the bandit who
got peeved at his victim, threw away
his gun and started fight. Then
there was the bandit who suffered,
taking SO long to give the command
to "st-t-t-ick 'em up that police
were on the scene before the victim
could respond. Again, just last
week, there was the holdup man who
picked 4 deaf gentleman as his vic
tim, and had to shout so loud to
make his demands known that police
came running.
And today there was Daniel False,
the holdup man, who forgot his pis-
toll.
Falco walked up to Milton
Fields at Madison and Curtis streets
and said: Hands up.
AS he spoke, he reached to his
hip pocket for his gun. 1t was not
there.
In quandary. he began to search
his other pockets. His victim OBJ
served the actions with growing in
terest.
'You have no gum" he inquired.
NO." said Falco. ITS gone"
That was all Fields wanted to
know. He began burying his fists
in Falco's face.
When Police Lieutenant Sullivan
was shutting the cell door behind
Falco a few minutes later EaIro still
was mystified.
1T certainly beats ALL" he said,
where put that gum"

SULPHUR DUST
CONTROLS RUST
Canadian Experiments Prove
Successful; Rust-Resistant
Wheat Found

Ottawa, Ont, Nov. 21.-(R-The
federal department Of agriculture in
m official report says that sulphur
busting experiments conducted last
summer in the grain fields Of west
ern Canada have established beyond
doubt the effectiveness Of this
method Of cereal rust control.
Citing the case Of an experiment,
the report says that grain 50 treated
yielded the farmer $11.87 an acre
more than grain not treated. The
yield was increased and the grade
Of the busted crop improved. Dust
ing in this case was done by . horse
drawn machine, but the use of air.
planes also proved satisfactory, the
report says.
Further experiments are to be
made to definitely fix the cost Of
the busting.
A new variety Of rust-resistant
wheat, the Reward, also has been de-
veloped, but experiments have not
gone far enough to make Z def
mite report. Preliminary govern
nnent tests Of the grain have shown
that it has marked ability to COM
bat stem rust, one Of the most wide
spread and virulent Of the rust
forms.

MAN DYING IN HOSPITAL

Omaha, Nebr., Nov. 21.-(AP)-
Not since the rifle of Frank Carter,
1.-THE sniper," was q death weapon
that sent fear racing down q city's
spine, has Omaha been gripped by
the dread inspired today by its
"hatchet-mal."
The new slayer who, like "the
sniper," appears to pick his victims
at random, has slain three, beaten
fourth SO severely he will not live.
and seriously injured fifth. All
the attacks have taken place since
early Sunday morning.
Omaha's "sniper," whose silencer-
equipped rifle slew two and wounded
one before he was captured few
years ago, kept the city in q state
Of uneasiness during the days he
remained at large. That same sense
of terror prevailed today, intensified
because of the brutalities of the
crimes and the regularity Of the
Ratchet mans deadly visitations.
Mrs. Harold Stribling, the only
victim of the madman's handax who
was not killed or critically wounded,
had provided police with a descrip-
ton Of the man they hold responsible
for all five attacks.
HE is of dark complexion, about
81 years old, five feet seven inches
tall and weighs about 14O pounds"
she said. "He was well dressed. His
trousers were neatly pressed, and
he wore belted overcoat, dark
gray cap and a bow tic."
Harold Stribling, who was beaten
by the Ratchet man early yesterday
morning, lies dying ut a hospital
with four distinct skull fractures.
Hospital physicians said his death
was matter of hours.
Eight policemen, in pairs, armed
with shotguns drove over Omaha
last night. A half hundred men
volunteered last night to assist po-
lice in the hunt for the slayer.
Purchase Shotgnns
Two dozen shotguns have been
purchased for the police department,
Commissioner Dunn said and SO cots
and mattresses were provided to
give officers and detectives chance
to rest. A score of deputy sheriffs
slept in the courthouse last night to
be ready for an emergency.
A squad of 200 American Legion
men, narcotic agents, federal and
prohibition agents have volunteered
their services. Rewards of $1,000
have been offered for the slayer's
arrest or information leading to his
capture.
Two bloodhounds have been
brought to the city to be used in
tracing the slayer should another
attack be made.

DOCTORS GIVEN
CAMPAIGN PLAN
FOR DIPHTHERIA
City to Pay Cost of Toxin.
Antitoxin Injections of
School Children

Schedules to be followed by doc
tors in administering toxin-antitoxin
in the campaign against diphtheria
in Bismarck will be worked out to-
day following decision of the city
commission to back the campaign, it
was announced here today by DR.. j.
D. Jungman, epidemiologist at the
state health department.
Besides making decision to en-
dorse the campaign to eliminate
diphtheria in North Dakota by 1880,
the city commission has voted to ap-
propriate enough money to aid in
the work, DIR. Jungman declared.
The city will pay the cost of all
toxin-antitoxin used in the prevent
i've work in the city schools, while
the board of education will finance
the cost of printing children "per-
mission" slips and the cost of pre-
pairing pamphlets and other litera-
ture. The permission slips will be
passed out among children in school
classes to be taken home and signed
by the parents to give health Off
GERS authority to administer the
toxin-antitoxin.
All city schools will be visited by
DR.. c. E. Stackhouse, city and coun-
ty health officer, next week, jung
man said. A first injection Of the
preventive medicine will be made
during the week and will be followed
by two more injections in the follow
ing two weeks, making a total of
three weeks necessary to complete
the work.
DIR. Stackhouse will make the
three injections for a charge of 81,
which is much lower than the actual
cost, DR.. Jungman stated. The city
will pay approximately $500 for the
toxin-antitoxin. City commissioners
have agreed to pay about fifteen
cents per child in the campaign
work, which will amount to approx
mately $500 for the 1000 children
expected to be treated.
The step taken by the city COM
missioners will do much in the cam
paign to eliminate chances of diph-
liberia epidemics, DR.. Jungman said,
pointing out that most chances of q
spread Of the disease are in the pub
lie and private schools where large
numbers of children attend.
Work to immunize children from
the disease is progressing steadily
in other cities Of North Dakota, he
added, with many schools con-
templating similar steps as that TAX

WOMEN JURORS RUGGED
Standard Oil Magnate Freed
Third Time on Contempt and
Prejury Counts
WOMEN JURORS RUGGED

Washington, Nov. 21.-(P)-Oil is
highly inflammable. The blaze
started some years ago by the in
quiry into the conditions surround
ing the leasing of the naval oil re-
serves is no sooner quenched in one
place than it breaks out in another.
Robert w. Stewart, chairman of
the board Of directors of the Stand
ard Oil company of Indiana, was ac-
quilted yesterday in the District of
Columbia supreme court on charges
of perjury. The case was one of the
many qualifications Of the investira-
ton into the oil leases.
Almost coincident with the YER
dict, Senator Walsh, of Montana.
said that he intended to ask the SEN
ate to inquire into the reasons Of
DR.. Hubert Work, former secretary
of the interior, for renewing a lease
in the Salt Creek oil field to Sim
clair crude oil purchasing COM
pany. This lease was recently de-
clared invalid by the department of
justice.
And these two developments, with
oil as their background, had two
others for company.
Sinclair in News
The District Of Columbia court of
appeals asked the supreme court for
interpretations on five points in
yolved in the appeal of Harry F..
Sinclair, oil magnate, now under
sentence for contempt of the senate,
and Senator Borah, of Idaho, has be-
gun returning $4,000 which he re-
ceived as part of prospective fund
of 100000 which he intended to re-
turn. to Sinclair.
Sinclair gave the 100000 to the
Republican party in 1920 and when
the circumstances of the gift came
to light, Senator Borah said he felt
that party morals demanded it's re-
turn. He announced that he would
receive voluntary contributions to
purge" the Sinclair contributions.
Stewart, tall, thick-set and gray
haired, showed his joy at his acquit-
tai yesterday by giving each of the
three women jurors, a hearty hug.
He has twice been brought to trial
after facing a senate committee and
has twice gone free, being acquitted
in May on a contempt charge.
His troubles have grown out Of
his answers, or lack of answers, to
questions about the liberty bond
profits Of the Continental Trading
Company, Ltd, of Canada. Called
before the senate public lands COM
mittee, on one occasion, he decided
not to answer queries. When he did
answer them, he was indicted on
charges of perjury.
The government insisted in the
perjury trial that Stewart said he
knew nothing of the distribution of
the liberty bond profits Of the Con-
tinental Trading company; that he
had no conversation or any knowl-
edge that would lead him to believe
any individual or organization had
received the securities and that he
had not received any of the. bonds,
when the president of the Continent
tai had given him bonds to the
amount Of $759,500.
The oil magnate's defense was
chiefly the contention that there was
not quorum Of the senate present
when he testified, and the official
record Of the public lands committee
was also attacked.
