GOVERNOR ON DAIS
AS PAY BILL FAILS
Didn't Know What Was Up and
Hadn't Asked for Il; Came
in Honor Of Scouts

For the first time in. history a
North Dakota governor Saturday sat
beside the presiding officer Of q leg
islative body and saw that body deny
him an increase In pay.
Shortly before the vote on bill to
increase the :;alaries Of state officials
was taken in the senate the governor
was invited to the senate chamber to
receive. in company with the lieuten-
ant governor, q delegation Of Bis
marck boy scouts.
One Of the PUTS made q brief
speech and the two executives then
were presented with Boy Scout man
uals.
When the senate resumed its seS-
sion the next thing on the calendar
was the pay boost proposal, which
was promptly killed while the COVER
nor sat beside the lieutenant COVER
nor and looked on.
Governor George F. Skater had two
compensations, however. One was
that he did not know the nature of
the bill on which the vote was being
taken and the other was that he had
not asked for an increase in the
Bubernatorial salary scale.
Scouts participating in the cere-
mony were Ben Cave, Donald Carls-
from and Louis Ahlen, all OF Bis
marck.

and rocked and roared at the quaint
maudlinities and exaggerations.
Hoboken forgot the peace that once
was hers and found great mob de-
scending upon beer palaces which for
years had been the gathering places
for sai!orfOlk of this waterfront town
and quiet Germans who brought their
own pretzels.
Today one Of the most surprising
situations In stage history obtains.
One Of the greatest successes CT any
season Is, not on Broadway, but miles
away and all Broadway Is trying to
get there. Five leading theater man
ayers have offered fabulous sums for
the production, which now threatens
to run for two years. One scalpinp
agency in the Broadway belt has
offered $4,000 for the rights" to be
the official ticket broker. Six phones
have had to be installed in the
ancient show house. More than q
thousand mailed requests for seats
arrive daily and beer and steak"
parties hire fleets Of Hoboken buses.
The inn-keepers are swamped, and
since there are but few such gath.
crirlg places they can scarce handle
the amazing and undesired crusli.s

Meanwhile strange things have
happened to Hoboken. The sailors
who once lazied at the bars and spun
yarns Of their trips, have suddenly
become racketeers and catch penny
merchants of the Broadway type.
They go among the high-hat crowds
with strings Of beads smuggled off |
