MENDEL'S HEREDITY
LAW BROUGHT into
WINNIE JUDD trial
State Alienist oss-Examined
Sharply in Phoenix Trunk
Murder Case
Courthouse Phoenix Ariz.. Feb. 8

| Courthouse, Phoenix, Ariz., Feb. 8.
Il AP The ghost of Mendel and
his heredity law, lowered over
Judge Howard C. Speakman's little
courtroom Wednesday as defense
counsel spared with q prosecution
alienist over whether Winnie Ruth
Judd is insane.
The teachings and axioms Of the
ancient monk were injected into the
murder trial by Attorney Paul
Schenck as he sought to break down
Tuesdays declaration of DR.. Paul F.
Bowers, state psychiatrist, that Mrs.
Judd was sane Oct. Is, when, it is
charged, she slew Agnes Anne LeRoi
and Hedvig Samuelson, the latter q
native Of North Dakota.
Leading the Los Angeles PSYCHE
artist through questions Of heredi-
tary tendencies, in insanity, Schenck
produced Manual Of Psychology" a
book written by DR.. Bowers eight
years ago.
Under questioning Of Schenck, DR..
Bowers admitted he agreed "in gen.
eral" with a Mendelian chart Of
hereditary tendencies set forth in his
book.
Now" announced Schenck, 1--WE
have here a chart of the defendants
family tree, which we will establish
is in almost exact accord with the
chart Of Mendel.'
Recalling testimony Of Rev. H. J..
McKinnell, father of Mrs. Judd, that
"My fathers mother lost her mind
became insane," from worry over
disappearance and death of her hus-
band, Schenck demanded:
did you take into consideration
that the paternal great grandmother
Of this defendant became insane from
worry and shock?"
"No," answered Bowers, II knew
there was some insanity in the FAM
lily didn't know just who"
"You know there was q second
cousin on the maternal side who died
in an insane asylum-with demen-
tia praecox?"
II heard that in COURT didn't
know what kind of insanity he had
when examined the defendant"
Pressed by Schenck, the witness
said, II agree that from so to 80 per
cent Of insanity cases have history
Of insanity behind them ~ heredity
has q tremendous effect" !.

GRAIN MAN ASSAILS.
FARM BOARD POLICY
AT CONVENTION HERE
G. II. Conway, Starkweather,
Points to Contradictions
of System

The agricultural marketing act and
the federal farm board were assailed
by G. H. Conway. Starkweatl,er, in
an address here Wednesday at the
opening Of the convention Of the
North Dakota Farmers Grain Dealers
association, of which he IS president.
Several hundred members Of the
association were gathering for the
convention, which will continue
through Thursday. Governor George
F. Shafer was scheduled to speak
Wednesday afternoon.
p. A. Lee, Grand Forks. secretary
Of the accusation, In his recommen-
dations urged that the organization
enter into the handling Of cash COM
modities as q "side-line" to bolster
up the financial condition Of the as
ISOLATION. He recommended that the
association take steps to handle gaso-
lire and oil.
In an attempt to eliminate the
"middleman," or commission mcr-
chant, Conway said, there have
been substituted giant blood-suckers
drawing from $4,000 to $4,000 9
year each, and expenses, to tell US Il
we will refrain from raising q GER
tain product they will guarantee us
q good price"
Points to Contradictions
I'VE are advised by the department
Of agriculture" ConaWay continued
ITO curtail production to a point that
would eliminate the surplus, and the
federal farm board concurs In this
opinion. This same group Of advisors
told us before the passage Of the
agricultural marketing act to hold
our grain for higher prices Is, there
was no such thing Is supply and de.
mand. When faced with the respon-
sibility Of sterilization they seek to
avoid this same responsibility BY tell
ing us that we raise more than they
can sell at a profit. We cannot ur-
derstand this line Of reasoning and
still they say: Remain neutral; don't
throw q "monkey-wrench" into the
machinery; we cannot succeed II you
fight u.s."
Declaring that he did not seek to
defend the middleman, Conway said
that the attempt to replace this "bit
of machinery that has apparently
outlived its usefulness" has resulted
in substituting "a group Of govern
ment agents that are Indifferent
ignorant and unreliable"

MEASURES Will Be
|. DESIGNED TO PARE
GOVERNMENT COSTS
Voters Will Have Opportunity
to Ballot on Suggestions
Next June
REACH DECISION At MIN0T
Mileage Cut, Valuation limita-
ton and Commission Eli
mination Favored

Four initiated proposals, all de-
signed to reduce the cost OF govern
ment, will be found on the ballot at
the state primary election next June
II present plans of the North Dakota
State Taxpayers association mature.
DR.. r. r. Hogue of Linton, q men,
Der Of the executive committee of the
association, which met Monday and
Tuesday at Minot. said tentative
decision was reached there to carry
the matter of tax reduction direct to
the people.
One initiated measure will provide
for reduction In the mileage rate
now allowed state and county officers
and employees when travelling on pub
lie business. The question often has
been considered in the legislature but
the taxpayers group are not satisfied
with the rates now allowed.
The second measure would reduce
the present assessed valuation of real
estate and place q definite limit up
on the amounts Of such valuations In
the future.
The state law now places q limit
upon the rate of taxation but makes
no restriction as to the valuation
which may be made.
Third on the list Is q bill to revise
the states fiscal system and to trans
fer to the general fund all moneys
now In inactive funds, Of which
there are said to be several.
The fourth bill, Hogue said, will be
drawn to eliminate "a certain state
commission" the name Of which is
being withheld by members of the
group because there may be more
than one suggested for the discard
when the bill finally is proposed.
DR.. Hogue said the active business
people Of Minot were greatly interest
ed In the meeting there and offered
valuable support and assistance" to
the committee.
Members Of the executive commit
tee attending the meeting, in addition
to DR.. Hogue, were Harrison Garnett,
st. Thomas; Harold Nelson, Rugby;
E. J. Bottem, Sheyenne and James
Evans, Carson.
G. F. Lamb, Michigan City, COM
mittee chairman, was absent because
of the recent death at Duluth, MIMI,
of his brother, John Lamb, veteran
Michigan City banker.
DR.. Hogue will be the principal
speaker at q meeting TO be held Sat-
urday afternoon in the Burleigh

IL PERSONS KILLED
AND ESQ INJURED IN
CUBANEARrHQuAKE
Principal Buildings Of Santiago
leveIed BY Two Shocks
During Night

Santiago, Cuba, Feb. 3.-(AP)-
Twelve persons were killed and 1t
was estimated $50 others were in
jured in an earthquake which struck
this city during the night.
There was great property damage
and the prison building suffered
heavily. Several prisoners escaped
but q numben>o others were injured
The mayor ordered the gas and
electricity service cut off to avoid
fires, and the municipal officials were
confident that they could handle the
emergency.
The historic Caribbean seaport was
shaken as 10000 inhabitants slept in
the quiet hours before dawn.
Some estimates of dead and in
jured ranged from 100 to 1000 and
said approximately one-third of the
stone city was laid waste.
The quake rocked the entire eastern
tip Of Cuba and extended westward
through Oriente province to the
Province Of Camaguey but Santiago
suffered the most terrific loss.
Residents were tumbled from their
beds as solid masonry homes crum-
bled, crushing hundreds under the
debris before they were fully awake.
Horror seized the area as lights III
many sections went out and terror
stricken men,. women and children
stumbled through narrow. debris
strewn streets seeking comparative
safety in the public parks.
Cries Of the Injured were heard on
all sides as emergency ambulances
wove their way through the debris
covered streets.
Within an hour the devastated area
was under military control and extra
forces Of soldiery barracked here were
thrown into the district to prevent
pillage and assist In rescue work.
Hospital facilities were quickly ex-
laausted.
Practically every home In the city
was evacuated, the frightened occu-
pants fleeing to the open in their
night clothing.
Frantic efforts to communicate
with havana were fruitless as all lines
between the eastern and western ex-
tremes Of the island were down.
Radio dispatches from the yacht
Kenkora finally brought the news to
Havana and government officials
hurriedly prepared to rush aid to the
stricken city.
The duration Of the shock was be-
lieved to have been about q half min
ute. Another shock, experienced at
4:30 p. m. Tuesday afternoon. was so
slight it was felt by only few per-
sons,

ROOSEVELT OPPOSES
j. s. ENTRANCE into
LEAGUE OF NATIONS
Also Believes European Debts
Should Stand and Tariff
Walls Be Lowered

Albany, N. Y, Feb. 3.-lR--Frank-
lin D. Roosevelt, governor Of New
York, and candidate for the Demo-
cratic presidential nomination, be-
lives:
"a The United States should not
participate In the League Of Nations.
Cd European debts should not be
cancelled.
90 An international trade confer
ence should be called to level tariff
barriers.
Governor Roosevelt committed his
views on these subjects to public con-
sideration at Q meeting Of the state
Grange Tuesday night. His pro-
nouncement on the league followed
by few days the challange OF VIII
liam Randolph Hearst that he an
nounce his views thereon.
Gov. Roosevelt Is the second prom
inent Democrat to discuss altered
views on the league question In re-
cent weeks. Newton D. Baker. secre-
tary Of war In the Wilson cabinet and
for years a proponent Of American
entry into the league, said recently
he was against a League Of Nations
plank In the 1892 Democratic plat
form. He said, however, he believed
the country will and ought to join the
league some day.
Concerning cancellation Of debts,
Roosevelt said:
Europe owes us. We do not owe
her. Therefore we should call a
meeting of our debtors here and not
in Europe and demand an under
standing. II it were considered adj
visable in the present condition Of
world finance to postpone payment OF
debts for q while, we should never
theless insist upon an accord as to
when payments should begin and in
what amount. Europe has INDUCED
herself in an orgy OF spending. :"
His comment on the tariff included
the following:
1T IS time for this nation to use
little horse sense about the results
Of our present tariff law. It Is time
for us to sit down with other nations
and say to them, this tariff fence
business, on our part and yours, Is
world trade. Let us see II
we can work out reciprocal methods
by which we can start the actual In
terchange Of goods"
