In q 50 story building erected by w.
B. Foshay were offered as evidence
Thursday by the government in his
trial on charges Of using the mails to
defraud.
Blocked by objections Wednesday,
Fred HoroWitz, special assistant at
torney general, contends they r EVIL
dence that Foshay sought to keep up
appearances" to aid in the sale Of Sc
curities when his enterprises were no
longer financially secure. Both floors
were retained for Foshay's business
and personal use.
From E. J. Bouchard, former assist
ant treasurer Of the W. B. Foshay Co..
parent concern, came testimony We'd
nesday that Foshay was kept fully
aware Of the status Of his projects
through daily financial statements
presented to him. The prosecutor
contends the enterprises were In trou-
BILE financially IS months before they
went into voluntary r~ecetvershtp Nov.
1, 1929.
The Foshay tower building, design
ed to resemble the washington mon
ument. was dedicated only q few
months before the collapse Of the en-
terprises. In his suite, Foshay had
arranged for q large art gallery to
house the collection he gathered dur
ing his rise to the leadership Of con-
Germs which sold go 100000 In secur-
tiles in three years. :.
Thus far, testimony has centered
LARGELY around personal activities OF
Foshay. Six associates in trial with
him ON the same charges have been
mentioned frequently. They served as
officers of his companies.

-convicts were in solitary confinement
Wednesday as officials investigated q
riot at the state p~enitentiary in which
one prisoner was killed and several
guards and other convicts were in
jured.
Warden w. E. Davis quelled the OUT
break by refusing to bargain with the
mutineers a. policemen, deputy sher-
IFS and firemen swarmed the walls to
beat down any wholesale attempt by
the convicts to escape.
The warden expressed the opinion
six or seven other prisoners were i'm
plicated. The group was armed with
knives and crude bombs made Of Sec
tons Of pipe. Only one bomb, how
ever, exploded.
The men held as the ring leaders
are Robert H. Elliott and Delbert

spirit Of the rioters who only q few
minutes previously had lured c. L.
Christensen and d. L. Rees, guards,
and Deputy Warden MILFORD M. Giles,
into the cell block and demanded that
they instruct the wall guards to throw

DEATH OF FARC0AN
RECALLS DAYS OF
FRONTIER SPORTS
Clinton n. Smith, Veteran
Horse. Sheer and Salesman,
Shod Many Speedsters

Fargo, N. D., Sept. 10.-R-Clin-
ton H. Smith, "a, for more than SO
years q resident Of Fargo, died last
night at his home here. He had been
bedridden since last winter.
Keeping shod the horses which Ia
bored through Fargo,s Doggy streets
of the early '80's was one Of the first
jobs Of Smith, who was one Of North
Dakota's best known horse shoers
and statesmen. In his later years he
often recalled laboring In his d!ngy
little shop in Fargo from early in the
morning to far after dark.
One of the brightest spots in those
days Of endless labor was the han
ding Of some Of the fastest colts In
the country, which annually were
brought to town for the gala racing
season.
Horse racing in the early days was
"the" sport of the frontier towns,
and some Of the fast ones" per-
formed here for the benefit Of North
Dakotans. MI. Smith remembered
The death knell of commercial rae
ing In the smaller towns was sound
ed with the advent Of the automobile,
Although the coming Of the ponies
annually drew hundreds Of persons
into Fargo and Moorhead from dis
tant parts OF the state, it also was q
call to the gamblers, Smith often re-
marked. From the twin cities, Chi
cago and eastern parts the gamesters
came, their pockets filled with money
to back their wagers.
Born April 80, 1857, at Livingston
vile, N. Y, Smith went with his par
ents to Austin, Mimi, at an early age,
From there his father continued on
to the frontier town Of Fargo, and
began operation of q blacksmith shop
The son, ~electing to go to the twin
cities, became known for his handling
Of racing horses and his father pre-
vailed on him to come to Fargo and
join his business. Smith was married
In Austin July %, 1873, to Miss Alice
Tubhs. who accompanied her hus-
band to Fargo in March Of 1850
After working with his father a few
years, the younger Smith opened his
own establishment.
That structure was destroyed In the
Fargo fire Of 1893 and a brick build
ing was erected. At q later date he
also operated the Village Forge
which was long a town landmark.
This business was continued until
1901 when Smith entered the employ
Of q wholesale hardware firm az q
travelling salesman. Later he was as
ISOLATED in q similar capacity with
the Winston, Harper Fisher company
Of Minneapolis, covering q wide ter
ritory in North Dakota and northern
Minnesota.
Smith served one term as q mem
Der Of the Fargo city council. He
was a member of the various Masonic
bodies and also was a member Of the
Elks lodge in Fargo.
Surviving are his widow, one
brother, Hezekiah Smith Of Scranton
a., and q niePce, Mrs. N. E. Morgan

Munich, Germany. Sept. 1o.-R-
Lujo Brentano. German economist,
died Wednesday. He was 81 years
old.
A stout champion of free trade, in
an age when tariff walls were rising
In every country In Europe and be-
yond, Brentano stood out as a firm
believer in trade unionism and the
eight hour working day.
In the knowledge of the ~intricacies
Of political economy and social
science, Brentano va pre-eminent.
Aggressive by nature albeit a theo-
rist, he fought vigorously when Bis
marck, the Iron Chancellor" pur-
sued his policy Of imperialistic cap
italism. He disputed with the Man
chester School, the German agrarians
and the heavy industrialists with zest
equal to that with which he combat
ted Karl Marx and Ferdinand La
sale, the fathers Of Socialism. He
fought consistently for social ideals
which, considered radical at Their
inception, had become commonplace
in his own lifetime.

B ASS DEFEATS
LEW MASSEY:

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. g.
Benny Bass still tilted his junior
lightweight crown today. His
body punching was too much for
Lew Massey in their 10-round
title contest here last night, the
title defender having a substan-
tial margin when the final gong
rang.
The boys met about six weeks
ago and Bass was the winner.
Last night Massey started off au-
Spiciously and registered with a
left jab and a right uppercut.
However, Lew didn't have Stlf-
ficient steam behind his blows to
bother Bass and after q few
rounds Massey began to break
ground. He discovered that the
champion was willing to take a
punch in order to get in close for
some shots at Lewis stomach.
Massey didn't like the body
punching. One left hook to the
midsection that proved partlcu-
larly distressing to the challenger
was delivered at the start Of the
sixth.
A capacity crowd Of 10000 wit
messed the Aght.

oring for some fistic nourish-
ment, which it hasn't had since
Tunney and Dempsey in 1927.
What Chicago wants is a
fight twixt Schmeling and
Stribling and since so many
boxing bugs have wondered just
how these two enigmas would
stack up against each other,
that seems to be altogether the
more attractive program.
Apparently Scheming isn't to
be given any say in New York
as to who he meets, and as
champion, however cheesy a
champion he may be, he ap-
pears to have the upper hand.
Therefore, if he can't fight the
man he wants to in the EN-
pire State, then none can deny
him the right to fight else
where.
Surely a champion has some
rights!

Fritz Eugene Dixon is expected
to succeed Joseph w. Wear, Of
Philadelphia, as chairman of the
Davis Cup committee Of the

Wear today confirmed reports
that he is giving up the post held

The PhiIadeIphian explained
that pressure of business,
coupled with his obligations as
chairman of the alumni board of
the Yale University, compelled
him to relinquish certain other
activities, tennis being among
them.
Wear Is not in the field for a

Back in 1926

Along back in 1925, when the
New York fathers were taking
just as stubborn an attitude
about Gene Tunney meeting
OF Harry Wills before meeting
the then champion, Jack Demp-
Sey, Gotham lost a darned good
fight and a swell tax on one
Of the biggest boxing crowds
on record.
The commission insisted on a
Tunney-WillS fight because Wills
had filed a challenge to Tun-
ney. The latter, not wishing
to go IN on a battle over which
he could see no particular pub
lie clamor, let Tex Rickard
guide him into what would
be the SmarteSt move, and Old
Tedge decided on the Tunney-
Dempsey thing at Philadelphia,
since New York wouldn't let
its native son Tunney fight in
that State until he had met
Wills.
From this distance it is be-
ginning to look as though New
York is backing Sharkey, in
the present Squabble which is
due to come to a head in to-
days meeting Of the commits
sion. Joe Jacobs isn't any
too sure the public will go for
such fight and he is expected
to be right firm In such a
viewpoint when he faces the
commission.
