travelled with them, sleeping in cradles
supplied from the property rooms Of
various theatres where they played.
Often cradle was not to be had, and
dresser drawers were used as make
shift cribs, where I slept during their
act on the stage!"

State EDUCATIONAL
INSTITUTIONS Will
RAISE TUITION FEE
New Charge Will Be Directed at
Students From Out Of
the State

Out-of- state students attending
North Dakota state institutions Of
higher learning will pay special non
resident fees beginning with the sum-
mer terms Of 1882, it was announced
Wednesday by the state board Of adj
ministration.
The nonresident fee at the state
teachers colleges and the school for
science at Wahpeton will be 5000, in
addition to the regular school tuition,
while nonresident students at the
University Of North Dakota and the
State Agricultural college will be as
sessed an additional $500. These fees
will cover the regular school year of
nine months. A pro-rata fee Is to
be charged nonresident students for
summer school sessions.
At present nonresident students
attending teachers colleges and nor
NAL schools Of the state pay no spe-
cial fees, while a nominal fee Is
charged such students attending the
university and agricultural college.
Action Of the board to establish
nonresident fees was by unanimous
vote of the five members. Members
expressed the belief that because of
low incidental fees In North Dakota
educational institutions, :. compared
with such fees in surrounding states,
large out-of-state enrolment has
been attracted to state schools.
Last year the total nonresident en-
rolment iii the various higher educa-
ton institutions in the state totaled
1,116.
Nelson Sauvain, chairman Of the
board. explained that while the state
constitution provides that instruction
shall be furnished free to residents Of
the state, the board members believe
that this liberality should not be ex-
tended freely to residents Of all states
a the expense Of North Dakota tax
payers.
students from states charging
higher incidental fees than North
Dakota have found 1t cheaper to
come to our institutions, even from
distant states" he said. This Is a
nice advantage for out-of-sta stu
dents to avail themselves of, and no
one can blame them for accepting
such advantages 50 freely offered.
But, as the number Of such students
has increased, the result has been an
increased expense to the state to &C.
coramodate such numbers"

CAPITOL THEATRE

Bert Wheeler, for the first and the
last time in his life, plays the role of
a gay young woman in RKO-Radio
Pictures "Peach-O'-Reno." which
soon shows at the Capitol Theatre
with his starring partner In comedy,
Robert Woolsey.
The comedian, who takes his bust
ness seriously, dutifully crowded him
self into q tight fitting evening gown,
cramped his feet in French slippers,
put on sheer stockings and q blond
wig and affected q high soprano voice
all this for arts sake.
Wheeler, who Is good soldier In
things cinematic. found his nerves
frayed at the end Of three days of
impersonating q woman. The hard
est task of all, he complains, was re-
membering to raise his baritone voice
to the higher scale befitting wom-
an.
"Peach-O'-Reno" is q unique bur-
lesque satirizing the Reno divorce
colony and demonstrates how lucra-
tive can be the business of two enter
prising young lawyers who advertise
perfectly legal and satisfactory d.
vorces for $50 and no questions asked.

CARRIER IS LIABLE
FOR ANY DAMAGE TO
SHIPMENT En- ROUTE
Supreme Court Rules Express
Company Has Alternative
Of Refusing Shipment

Where perishable goods are deliver
ed to common carrier In good con-
dition, the burden Is on the carrier
to show that any damage to such
perishable goods en- route did not
result from any cause for which the
carrier was legally responsible, the
state supreme court ruled in deci-
sion affirming verdict Of the Bur-
leigh county district court.
The action was brought by W. G.
Gehrke, Baldwin. against the Ameri-
can Railway Express company, to re-
cover the value of poultry shipped.
He was awarded verdict of $284.55,
from which the express company ap-
pealed.
May Refuse Shipment
"When 1t is apparent to a carrier
or his servants, upon ordinary OBJ
servation,' the supreme court held.
that perishable goods presented for
carriage are not properly packed, or
50 improperly or insufficiently packed
that their transportation in that con-
dition would be likely to entail on the
carrier an element of extra risk, the
carrier may refuse to receive the
goods in that condition: but if he
does see fit to receive them, he as
sumes to carry them as they are, and
his full common-law liability as
carrier attaches to the contract OF car
riage.
1.-The interstate commerce act is not
a limitation upon the liability Of
common carrier, and does not deprive
the shipper Of his common-law rene
dy"
Chickens, Turkeys Spoiled
Gehrke alleged he delivered to the
express company six boxes Of dressed
chickens and one barrel Of dressed
turkeys, all in good condition, con-
signed to a Philadelphia firm. The
consignee refused to accept the ship
ment because the poultry was spoiled
and unfit for food. Gehrke claimed
the railroad agent told him that If
weather conditions made it necessary,
a refrigerator car would be available
for the shipment.
The express company contended
there was no contract between par
ties for furnishing refrigerator SER
vice and that it would be unlawful
and contrary to the rules of the in
terstate commerce commission to fur
nish a refrigerator car for less than
a carload: that under the official ex-
press classification record the defend
ant could not be required to furnish
refrigerator car for less than car
load, and since Gehrke had less than
a carload, the express company was
not obliged to furnish refrigerator
