grand 1uries to reduce the present
legal grounds for annulling indict-
ments returned by them. He also
would amend the law which requires
that signers Of petition for grand
jury must be men. The law was
passed before women were eligible
to vote.
2. Reduction in the penalty for
first violation Of the law requiring
cigaretts sold in the state to have
q state stamp affixed to the pack
age. The present maximum penalty,
. fine Of $3.50, means that such cases
must be tried in the district court.
Shafer would reduce the maximum
penalty for first offenders to per-
NIT trial before = justice Of the
peace. The maximum penalty rec
commended IS 500 fine and 30 days
in Jail. A much heavier penalty
would be imposed on second offend
ers. Such = change would facilitate
enforcement Of the state cigarette
laws, the report stated.
Among recommendations for
changes in the law affecting the at
torney generals office, other than
the one that the attorney general be
taken off of numerous state boards
on which he now serves, were these:
1. Sever the connection between
the attorney generals office and the
state workmen's compe, sation bu-
reau. AT present the attorney gen.
eral appoints an assistant to care for
the work Of the bureau and the bu-
reau shares the expense with his Of
flee. All suits are brought by the
state on behalf of the bureau. It is
recommended that the bureau have
its own sui.s in its own name and
pay its own expenses.
2. That the attorney general be
given q raise in pay. Pointing out
that he can speak frankly since he
is leaving the office, Shafer ex-
pressed the view that his successors
should have more than the $500 =
year which he has received. When
the present salary was fixed, it is
pointed out, the attorney general
was not expected to give his full
time to the work and was permitted
to engage in private practice. I'm
til 1917 they either did so or were
associated with law firms. In 1917
the law requiring him 70 give all his
time to the Office was passed.
Unless TIE salary is increased, the
report states, q high class lawyer
and capable administrator "can
be retained in the office Of attorney
general but for q short time"
The report, which covers So type
written pages, lists the various &C
Invites Of all divisions of the attor-
ney general'S department in detail.
An appendix contains copies Of all
legal opinions given by him during
the year.

Sheep raising is becoming more

Frank Oxton, Hope, has to date sold

spring the flock contained 81 ewes,
the wool from the sheep bringing
$16O.40. He did not keep figures

SO that the price the animals brought

Figures Show State
Fifth Most w althy

Basing their report on the August
volume Of business, North Dakota is
listed as one Of the five most pros
porous states, relatively, in the
United States, by the Standard Sta
tistics company Of New York.
Special attention is made Of the
business volume transacted 1T Minot
in the report. The company reports
that business transactions there
were larger in August than any
other month this year and far in
excess Of any previous August dur
ing the last eight years. For that
reason, Minot is placed as one Of
the most prosperous cities in the
United States. The August volume
Of business was 80 per cent above
the average for 1920-24, and increase
Of 26.9 per cent over August last

felony to conspire to commit TEL
ony. All conspiracies now are mis-
demeanors. 49,
2. Passage of . law creating z
new crime Of aggravated assault and
battery. Assault and battery com.
mitted without q weapon is subject
to q maximum punishment Of $780,
fine and 80 days in Jail. The new
law would apply in aggravated cases
where serious injuries are inflicted
upon the victim and would carry .
heavier penalty. Montana, Minneso-
to, South Dakota and Iowa already
have such law.
8. Passage Of q law, creating .
jury commission in each county to
select persons qualified for jury
service. The jury system Is the
foundation of American justice and
the present system often results in
the selection Of unqualified jurors,
| the Recommendation said. In some
sections the professional juror evil
still exists, according to complaints
coming to him, Shafer said. His idea
is to select jurors because Of their
special qualifications rather than by
! chance. The jury commission would
be appointed by the district court.
4. Establishment of q state bu-
reau of criminal Identification to
identify criminals and aid in appre.
bending them. Failure to apprehend
criminals is the weakest link in the
chain Of law enforcement machinery,
the report states, because policy sys-
terms are local in scope and the per
petrators Of q crime, often are miles
away from the scene q few hours
after the crime is committed. The
proposed bureau would supervise
and coordinate the activities Of. the
police officers Of the state.
i 5. Passage of law permitting
perpetuation Of testimony OF wit
nesses for the prosecution in Grim
inal cases. In many cases witnesses
die, disappear or become i'll and tn

asked one another as the show pro-
crossed, with the girls changing

it would have been padlocked on the

Some of the patrons blush. at the

always come back again. And yet
these girls are but step ahead OF
the flappers who can be seen nightly
in almost any cafe, their costumes

Minneapolis Outfit Enjoys One

Contests Yesterday to Take
Both Ends of Indian Double
Bill; Saints Lose

Chicago, Aug. 6-R-Mike Kelley
and his fighting band of Minneapolis
Millers have captured another
salient in their steady but brilliant
drive for the first place stronghold
of the American Association.
Second place fell to them yester-
day when they invaded Indianapolis
and crushed the league leaders in
both ends of q doubleheader, while
Kansas City fell twice before the
rejuvenated cellar occupant, Coluni-
bus.
Kelley's policy Of one big inning
gave his men their victories, each
by a score Of 4 to 8, yesterday. In
the first game, Orsatti drove home
three runs with a home run in the
fifth inning, in the nightcap, the
Kels scored all four runs in the Sec
ond frame.
Kansas City had the services of
it's two mound aces, Sheehan and
linn, but the Senators were not to
be denied. They dashed out 10 hits
for an 8 to 4 victory in the first
over Sheehan and Morrison, which
were good for 80 bases and 10 to 3
victory. Then, in the second, bagged
20 hits off linn, Yarmouth and
Morrison, which were good for 30
bases and 10 to victory.
Another member Of the proletari.
an family of the circuit, Louisville.
also won a double victory to please
the Sunday customers and to keep
away from the cellar. The Coloners
victim was St. Paul by scores of 2
to O and 5 to 3.
Toledo defeated Milwaukee, 7 to l.
Two games were scheduled but rain
caused postponement of the second
