DEFENSE CASE IS
Being PRESENTED
TOSAV0RA JURORS
Contention Made That Defend
ant Had no Serious 1rou-
Bile to Cause Murder

Minot, N. D., Nov. 11.-(P-That
William Savora had no serious trouble
which might cause him to desire to
end the life of Mrs. Dena Korchenko,
his housekeeper, but that other men
had threatened to kill her, are princi-
pal contentious the defense will seek
to establish when trial Of Savora on
murder charge is resumed here
Thursday.
Late Tuesday. after Attorney H. E.
Johnson, defense counsel, began pre-
sentation of testimony to prove Sa-
vora's innocence, the court adjourned
until $50 q. m. Thursday.
Beginning his effort to show other
men had sought the life of the wom-
an. Johnson called to the stand j. j.
Coyle, Minot attorney, who had act
ed as counsel for Mrs. Korchenko on
several occasions.
About month before her death,
Coyle testified, Mrs. Korchenko had
come to him for advice, telling him
two men; whom she had met on tbs
street that day, had threatened her
life. These men, Coyle quoted her as
saying. had asked her to sign an afft-
davit that testimony she had given in
the trial of John Martin, charged with
killing her husband, was false. Mar
tin was convicted of manslaughter in
connection with Korchenko's death
and was sentenced nearly two years
ago to serve IL years in the state PEN
itentiary.
Mrs. Korchenko was told by these
men, Coyle said, that unless she sign
ed the affidavit, "she would not see
sunrise again."
Two letters, which Attorney Coyle
said Mrs. Korchenko had turned over
to him, In which Martin sought to
prevent her from testifying at his
trial, are not in his possession, he told
States Attorney Campbell. Coyle said
he had sent the letters to the states
attorney of McHenry county. In these
letters, the substance Of which Coyle
related to the jurors, Martin pronais-
ed to provide for her and her children
if she would refuse to testify against
him, and threatened to kill her II She
did.
Before the defense rests It's case
witnesses are to be called, Attorney
johnson told the jury, to show that
on the night preceding the finding o.
Mrs. Korchenko's body, a stranger
who held grudge against her visited
the woman at the Savora house.
Savora is also expected to testify
his counsel said, that human blood
stains found on his trousers after ths
murder probably came there wher
Mrs. Korchenko fell and cut her heae
upon q stove about two weeks before
she was slain, and he carried her II

federal farm board was created, was
adopted by the North Dakota Farm
ers Union In annual convention here
Tuesday night.
Earlier in the day John A. Simp-
son, national president Of the Farm
ers Union, attacked the farm boards
operation. There was little debate.
however, on the resolution, and IN a
vive voce vote, only one vote was
heard In opposition.
The resolution, offered from the
floor, called on delegates to express
their approval of the marketing act.
Debate centered around whether this
would, in effect, consist OF approval
of the farm boards policy, and senti-
ment expressed was the act was to be
commended until something better
was obtainable.
Thatcher Commended
Another resolution adopted by q
unanimous standing vote commended

the Farmers Union Terminal assocta-
ton. The action came after an ad-
dress by Thatcher, who made a STIR

proved In another resolution.

The Wickersham Report

One of the most contradict ory reports ever made by z responsible body was that o1 ei1v rriva1UI sa.s.4.. v~......ioe:-- on prohibition, submitted : few days ago. So far iron, agreement were the members of the commission that separ- ate individual reports were made by several of them in addition to the ambiguous doc ument presented by the com- mission as a whole.
 Briefly summarizing the individual opinions expressed by the eleven members, it may be said that none gave perm anent approval to the Eigh- teenth Amendment and the Volstead law. Five members advocate giving the present law a further trial, four mem bers favor immediate revision and two members favor repeal
 All in all, the various views expressed would rather see,1 to muddle the situation, rather than clarify it.
 There is little indication that they would have much effe, t upon public opinion one way or another. The main repo~. is rather "dry" in it's conclt,- sions, while the individual ra. ports are preponderant'l "Wet."
 That enforcement has beer far from satisfactory is admit ted by all the members, while SIX of the eleven seem to feel that adequate enforcement of the present law is impossible.
 Senator Borah aptly describ- ed the reactions of vets and drys by saying that the com general conclusions were very satisfactory to the drys, while the conclusions Of individual members were very l satisfactory to the vets.

 Silver has been receiving more public attention, and remedies inumerable have been suggest

 yet recorded only a few weeks
 ago, no one is certain that the
 price of Silver is not going
 lower still. The chief among
 the variety of reasons put for
 ward as to why Silver, a once ; precious metal, is now a com
 modity is that which is put for word as the reason for the low
 prices of other metals; namely, oVer-production. Were Silver
 as scarce as it once was, it
 would now have the same rel atlVe value as it had then. On
 the other hand, the cause of
 the surplus of metallic silver and consequent low prices is hlamed by equally good auth )rltles on the Government of India in dumping millions of ounces on/the market and whose intentions are to dump still further millions as they i see fit. Bad trade is placed as the cause of low silver and low !! silver is given as the reason for ! bad trade. And so forth.
 It is when it comes to the cure for the lack of demand | for Silver that the public inn aglnation runs riot. The huge silver loan proposed for Chi China's asking for it-caused that astute country to request the stabili- zation of the price. They have silver in plenty already. What they want is a value for it which will remain relatively Like other countries China has no love for dump ing the products of other coun- tres within her borders. Short y after the proposal was moot ed to loan her these huncreds of millions of silver with which 70 buy wheat, a duty against foreign wheat and rice was immediately proposed. What China wants, what India wants, what Canada wants.

 Light experts of the Bureau of Standards have found that the average useful life of an electric bulb is 1000 hours, the equivalent of 42 days of continuous lighting at rated efficiency.
 Bulbs frequently give con- siderable longer service, how ever, because the load on the bulb is reduced during those periods, usually at night, when the voltage is heavily drawn upon.
