Changes Would Cut Cost
Chairman Rishworth said 1t nov
appears that considerable money can
he saved in the capitol construction
as the result Of changes In the set-up
Of state departments and In the build
ing or its equipment.
Among the changes noted was the
removal Of the state health depart
Iaent from Bismarck to the state uni
versity at Grand Forks, making the
space In the new building designed
for use by the state department avail.
able for other purposes.
The state regulatory department,
and the licensing division Of the at.
torney generals office were consoli-
dated, with q saving In the space
needed.
The principal reduction, however, !.
expected to be made by retaining thu
present power plant on the capito
grounds and by failing to construc,
the power plant designed for the
basement of the capitol building. The
necessary foundations and abutments
have been placed in the building 70,
this equipment and could be used a
later time. Rishworth explained.
Other contemplated changes, anc
there are many of them, relate to de.
tails Of the building proper. It wal
explained that, unless the need TO,
the space Is manifest, some Of the
floors may be left unfinished and
without partitions originally planned
for them. Under this process the tor
floors Of the big building would moi
be completed at this time and the
money would be used for the prison

DEMOCRATS WAITING
FOR PLUN|S TO FALL
FROM FEDERAL Tree
National Committeeman, Back
From Washington, Is Reti-
cent on Subject

North Dakota Democrats, gathered
under the political plum tree, are
waiting for the new national admin
istration to begin the apportionment
Of positions to the faithful.
H. H. Perry, Glendale. Democratic
national committeeman. has returned
to his home after sojourn In WASH
ington and this event has brought
rumors Of the prospective lineup In
federal positions.
All Of the men now holding feder-
ar offices in North Dakota are Re-
publicans, no general exodus having
been ordered to date. None Is In
prospect, either. since many ap-
pointees were named for definite per-
iods and probably will be given OPP
portunity to serve out their terms. On
this basis the transition from Repub-
lican to Democratic control win be
made gradually.
Each community has a postmaster
ship contest In progress or brewing
but chief interest centers on the So
called statewide jobs such as collec-
tor Of internal revenue, United States
marshal and district attorney.
Rumor has It that p. w. Lanier,
jamestown, senatorial candidate at
the last election, will get the latter
post while Perry will himself take the
post Of revenue collector.
A number Of men are listed Is
prospects for the marshalslnip but Joe
Doyle Of Fargo held the place under
the Wilson administration and may
get It again.
A recent dispatch listed Fred w.
Mclean, Grand Forks. as the pros
pective head Of the Federal Land
Bank and other government credit
agencies under the consolidated
Roosevelt set-up, with headquarters
at st. Paul. He formerly was regis
trar Of the land bank.
Z. q. Quamme, st. Paul, one.time
North Dakotan and former. director
Of the bank, now Is mentioned for
registrar.
Because Of the peculiar part which
this state played In the Roosevelt
pre-convention campaign. North Da-
kota Democrats are hopeful Of getting
= little more than their normal share
Of federal patronage.
It was at the insistence Of North
Dakota Democrats that Roosevelt an
nounced his candidacy for the presi.
dency and 1t was here that he first
demonstrated the western strength
which marked the subsequent land
slide In the November election. In the
North Dakota presidential primary he
Was pitted against Governor Murray
Of Oklahoma. Z western man, and his
victory here Is Credited with solidify-
Ing his strength In the west. At least
North Dakota Democrats claim this
to Be the case.
Perry WAS reticent on his return
from Warrington. his only comment
being that It would be some time be-
fore the president got around to con-
sidering patronage matters because
the press Of public affairs has been
given precedence over purely politi-
cal considerations.

CURB SHARES SAG

Market Sells Off to New Low

Trade Reports.
BY JOHN A. CRONE.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, February 23.-Soft from
the start, stocks on the Curb Exchange
sold steadily lower today.
Electric Bond & Share made dis
play of resistance until noon, when
it dipped to new low ground Earlier
some of the higher priced public util-
tiles, such as Consolidated Gas Of
Baltimore, and miscellaneous standard
leaders like Great Atlantic & Pacific
Tea common, Newmont Mining, Alum
mum Co. of America common and
others had scraped new low levels.
Aside from the character of the stock
market inquiry revelations in Washing
ton there was nothing in the news
to produce softness at the opening to-
day. Trade reviews on general busi-
ness, electrical production, steel, rail-
roads and petroleum were in the main
favorable Earning reports and divi-
dend actions usually were in line with
expectations.
Pressure was felt in the public utili-
ties, then in miscellaneous industrials
and later in most sections of the list.

The fact that mineral output in this
country last year was greater than
the world production decline average
failed to steady the various metal
groups. Regular dividend declarations
by such companies as Consolidated Gas
of Baltimore. Katz Drug, Abbott Labra-
tories and United Profit Sharing Cor
poration were ignored by their re-
spective stocks.
Axton-Fisher Tobacco A, which de-
clined Az points Tuesday, opened up
fractionally today. Tobacco g. Allied
Stocks, Inc, on its first few trades
remained steady. Parker Rust Proof
was the first of the motor accessories
to establish new minimum, though
recent earnings exceeded expectations.
Later Stutz Motors made a new low

H|GH-GRADE BOND
GROUP IN DECLINE
Government and Corporation
Issues Subjected to Selling
PreSSure-RaiIs Lower.
BY CHARLES r. SPEARE.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, February 23.-Highest
grade securities today were subjected
to the most pressure in the bond mar
ket and among them occurred some
of the largest declines. 1t was appar-
ent that holders of these bonds, either
individuals or institutions, were selling
them on account of their marketability,
for at the same time there was COM
paratively little reaction in low-grade
issues.
In this liquidation United States
Government loans suffered further
relapse amounting to "a to about "a
points. The 33s per cent bonds, quoted
earlier in the year around l03, fell
below par The Treasury As were 312
points under the high of the year and
the Treasury 414s were down points
from the January high. The Treasury
31ss stood their ground somewhat bet
ter than the others, but the Treas
ury IS lost Il point, which made their
net loss from the high of the year 31a
points. The First Liberty 4As, which
are expected to be refunded, had the
largest decline, selling down to 10l.
With the Government market in its
present condition there is likely to be
a still higher rate of interest quoted
on the $1O0, 100000 of Treasury bills
to be bid for next Monday.
Unusual weakness developed in the
market for high grade corporation
bonds. AtchiSon General As dropped 2A |
points to 90. They were recently 81. |
Union Pacific first As lost 3 points and
were down points from the years
high. Consolidated Gas IS broke below
par. American Telephone g. Tele-
graph issues were off l2 to point and
in some cases as much as 6 points un-
der the 1888 high. Pennsylvania Rail-
road 61as lost l Il points and Northern
Pacific 6s the same. Detroit Edison |
SIS of 1852 were down 212 points and
Columbia Gas e. Electric debenture SIS
were off points.
Other striking losses were 8 points
in New York Central debenture IS, 2
in Philadelphia Co. 5s, a new low
price on International Telephone &
Telegraph 412s, which were off IA
points; sharp decline in United States
Rubber IS to new low and losses |
of 21a to "a points in Allegheny Cor
poration IS. ConspicuouSly weak in
dustrials were National Dairy Products |
5As, American Smelling & Refining |
SIS, International Paper 5s and Good |

The weakest members of the foreign |
dollar bond list were German gov
ernments and German public utilities. |

ket and made new high price for |

WAR REPORTS HELP.
PRICE FOR SILVER.
Spectators Mark Up Metal
on Reports of Strife
in Far East.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, February 23-The sick
metal, silver, sat up in bed during the
past week, as new war rumblings were
heard in the Far East
Bull speculation cropped out in both
London and New York, on the theory
that the Chinese would need more Of
the metal, which they use as money, to
fight the Japanese invasion of Jehol.
Coupled with this were new legisla-
tive proposals in Washington designed
to doctor the metal.
Statistical Position.
From its historic low of 2412 cents an
ounce, reached in the New York mar
ket last December %, silver for immedi-
ate delivery has risen to q cents, gain
ing more than a cent in the past few
days. Of course, 27 cents is extremely
low in contrast to average prices over
the past several years. A number OF
legislative proposals have been designed
to restore it's value to so cents or above.
Immediately after the World War the
metal reached peak of $1.35 an ounce.
Statistically, the position OF silver has
begun to improve, as result OF cur
tailed production, but aside from the
attempt at remonetization or other leg
islative panaceas, silver experts are IN
clined to the view that higher prices
are contingent largely upon a larger
demand from the Far East.
Chinese buying has recently taken
lump. but in view of the disordered
economic conditions in China, 1t is
questionable as to how far this move
ment can go. In January, shipments
from San Francisco to China amounted
to 3,7O1 900 fine ounces, the hlgnest
since October, 1880, and in contrast 10
only 212OOO fine ounces in December.
Production of silver in the six prln-
cipal producing countries (Mexico,
United States, Canada, Australia,
Burma and Peru dropped in December
to the lowest level in years, accordlng
to the American Bureau of Metal Sta-
tistics, output amounting to only 8,2oO'-
600 fine ounces, against 1O,82l ,O00 IN
that month of 1881.
World Production.
Total world production in 1882 mas
been estimated at 160, 600 900 ounces, as
reduced from 193,800,000 in the pre-
vious year, but India and China, when
usually purchase about rs per cent OF
the world output, took only about 81
Der cent. In 1929, when production
reached its peak of 60,900,000 ounces,
India and China took approximately "a
per cent

PILOTS PRAISED
FOR A|RFEAT

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 13 (U.SO
AS the investigation of the fire
which destroyed a transcontinen-
tai transport plane was gotten
under way today, commendation
of the two pilots, whose heroism
in the face of death saved eight
lives, was heard from many
sources.
Keynote of the praise for the
airmen, Pilot Edward A. Bellande
and co-Pilot Lynn Berkenkamp,
was that their calmneSS in stand
ing by their posts inspired the six
passengers and prevented a death
panic.
Five minutes north Of Bakers
field Friday night Berkenkamp
told his companion at the controls
that fire had broken out under
the floor of the ship. Mrs. A. j.
Pyle, of South Gate, one of the
passengers, declared:
"When the smoke began to
fill the cabin, Berkenkamp
calmly assured us that the best
thing we could do would be to
remain quiet.
with the fire extinguisher
and pillows from the seats he
kept the fire from spreading
from heater in the floor while
Bellande pilOted the burning
ship toward the airport"
