Four Hours Over Body Of
Harry Webber
WAS DROWNED IN CITY POND
11-Year-oId Boy Had Been
Fishing For Minnows;
Brother in Hospital

Though two Bismarck and Mandan
doctors worked for four hours over
his limp body, their untiring efforts
Saturday afternoon failed to rescusi-
tate Harry G. Weber, 1l-year-old
Bismarck boy who drowned in the
pond Immediately west Of the yehicu-
lar underpass at the western end Of
main avenue.
The youngster was taken from the
pond about o'clock by Wade Green
and Harold Smith, Bismarck youths,
who made several dives to extricate
the body from hole at the bottom
IN which he was wedged.
The boy, with his l2-year-old bro
Their. Lawrence, had been fishing for
minnows. Harry was standing on the
end OF a log dangling a small net in
the water, and toppled into the water
when the log rolled.

brother, almost drowned himself and
was In a local hospital Monday re-
covering from shock.

brother, saved his own life by cling
ing to the log. Green and Smith

cial respiration treatment.

chimes from the city fire hall were
brought to the pond and a crew Of
men from the North Dakota Powe,

ment.
At 2:30 o'clock DR.. w. B. Pierce o,
Bismarck arrived and took charge. He
said Monday that at no time did his
stethoscope definitely reveal a beating
OF the heart in the boy. He injected
adrenalin to stimulate the heart and
made use of an oxygen device in the
attempt to revive the boy. He was as
sisted by DR.. George H. Spielman of
Mandan, who arrived later.
The doctors, not wishing to waste
any time In the emergency by moving
the boy. worked on the body at the
ponds edge. A large group of spec
tators, including the boys parents,
looked on.
Harry was son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Ray A. Weber, 1923 Front st.

SEEK DUTCHMAN'S
REICH FIRE AIDES
Communists Believed Accom-
pIices-TorgIer Linked With
Van Der Lubbe.

By the Associated Press
BERLIN. October 26.-After "a SeS-
sions, the German Reichstag Building
fire trial narrows down to the question:
Who were MarinuS Van Der Lubbe'S S
accomplices?"
For long time it appeared the court
might accept the Dutchmans Oft-reit-
Grated assertion that he set the fire
last February q alone.
A lengthy array OF witnesses brought
no evidence that he had any helpers.
But on the 22d day of the hearings
chemical experts testified and evidently
satisfied the judges by experiments that
Van Der Lubbe's deed must have been
carefully prepared by others.
Since then. the court, the prosecution
and the four other defendants accused
in the fire have been graphing with
the problem OF possible acc0mpllceS.
Blame Communists.
Neither the judges nor the states
attorney seem to entertain an idea that
there is even a possibility that others
pncattd
Charges from many quarters that the
Maz1s Ma might haRs prepares ths gTonnid 15ia
by all officials.
Not only that, but the insinuat!ons of
Georgi Dimitroff, one of the three Bull
garian defendants, that preliminary
hearings might have been conducted in
a one-Sioed manner invariably have
drawn rebukes from the presiding judge,
Wilhelm Buegner
DimitroffS persistent questions and
comment on the trial and court pro-
cedure have so annoyed the judge that
he has twice been excluded from the
chamber
The prosecution, which obviously is
trying to prove CCmmuniSmS aSsocia-
ton with the deed, fired the heaviest
gun of all yesterday by producing
former Communist-now Nazi men,
Der of the Reichstag.
Links Torgler With Holiander.
This witness, Berthold Karwahne,
swore he saw Van Der Lubbe and Ernst
Torgler former Communist whip in the
Reichstag and another of the defend
ants. together in the building the day
OF the fire.
1t was the first time the two had
been linked directly. KarWahne offered
no proof that the two conversed.
The prosecution also produced an
other Reichstag member who said he
saw Torgley talking with one of the
Bulgarian defendants. Blagoi Popoff.
(The third Bulgarian is Wassil Tanef)
While the courts questions obviously
have been directed at tracing pos
sible connection of Communism with
the incendiarism only one defendant
Dimitroff-hitherto has tried not only
TO wash himself. the other defendants
and Communism from association with
Van Der Lubbe, but also to probe into
the question of whether the Nazis might
have been implicated.

SPRING BEGAN MONDAY; IS EXPECTED TO Be WARM

The sun on Monday began six
months of shining more strongly on
the northern half of the world than
on the southern-in other words,
Spring is here!
March 20, at 8:43 p. M, Eastern
Standard Time, was the moment of
the "Vernal Equinox" the words used
by experts as meaning the advent of
Spring.
Weather prophets report that just
at this period ends an abnormally
warm Winter, so will the coming days
have higher temperatures than the
average for years past.
In expert terms, the Vernal Equinox
comes when the earth, circling
around the sun, moves into such po-
sition that the part north of the equa-
tor receives more heat and has longer
days than the southern hemisphere.
The winter of 1928, says the U.
S. Weather Bureau, continued the
trend of abnormally warm winters
that have been going on since 1905
east of the Rocky Mountains. Aver
age temperatures during the official
weather bureau winter December,
January and February ranged from
one to nine degrees above the normal
of 35 degrees in various sections. The
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1933-03-23

trend so far in March has been SIM
liar.
Spring weather, observers say, also
gives indications of being warmer
than normal, judging from the trend
of spring temperatures during recent
years. This, however, is not an Off
cial forecast. Temperatures of all
four seasons, during the last 25 years,
have tended above normal.
A warm spring would be generally
beneficial to ground crops, says ]. B.
Kincer, chief of the weather bureaus
climate and crop-weather division.
But it might be harmful to fruit trees,
causing them to bud prematurely with
danger of a later frost killing the
young shoots.
The winter just ended bore out I'M
official prophecies of abnormal
warmth based on the weather bureaus
discovery that apparently there are
"cycles" of abnormally warm and cold
weather lasting over periods of years.
Temperatures during the official
weather bureau winter averaged one
to five degrees. above normal in the
southern states, three to six in the
central valleys and Middle Atlantic
area, and five to nine in the northeast.
