Survey Shows Penitentiary Inmates
Paid $1,174, Promised 81 900 More
Three Persons Find Lucrative
Business in Appearing Be-
for Pardon Body

How three Bismarck persons have
collected $l.l74 in cash for represent
ing prisoners before the state pardon
board since January l and have OBJ
tanned promises of $500 additional
when the prisoners get the money Is
disclosed in an investigation by The
Tribune Of records at the state peni-
Tertiary here.
Chief participants. in the business
Of representing prisoners before the
board. the records show. are Joseph
Coghlan, Mrs. Ethel Mills and Alvin
G. Strutz.
Mrs. Mills Is not an attorney but
is an employe of Strutz. The latter
is newcomer to Bismarck's legal
circles. He took over the law business
of William LANCER when the latter
became governor.
Mrs. Mills said that her collections
of fees from prisoners were made for
the firm presumably for Strutz, and
that she received none Of the money
personally.
She pointed out, however, there Is
nothing in the law which requires a
person to be an attorney to appear
before the pardon board In behalf Of
a prisoner. She served as clerk In
Langer's office for many years and
is contemplating taking an examina-
ton in an effort to win admission to
the bar, she said.
Four Get Little
Seven attorneys are listed as having
collected money from prisoners since
the first Of the year, but two Of these
had only one case each. They are w.
E. Matthaei, who collected $25, and

r. Sinkler, Minot, has had four cases
and collected $l25, while Ben john
son had two cases and received SO.

Stone walls and steel bars were re-
inforced Tuesday by keen eyes and
ready machine guns to keep the word
Of Joseph B. Keenan,. director Of the
nations anti-gangster campaign. that

The steel doors Of the Oklahoma
county Jail changed shut behind Bailey
Monday night scarcely . dozen hours
after his startling escape from the
county Jail at Dallas, Tex, by means
Of q pistol which Bailey said he found
In the mattress Of his bunk.
The result Of his daring break, the
only successful one ever made there,
was to hasten his removal to Okla
homa City to face charges Of plotting
the kidnapping Of Charles +. Urschel,
oil millionaire, for $20o. 900, one Of the
largest ransoms ever paid. The trial
is set for Sept. 10. Bailey probably
will BE arraigned Tuesday or We'd
nesday.
Authorities at Dallas launched an
investigation Of how Bailey obtained
the pistol with which he gained hts
freedom and saws with which he es-
capped his solitary cell, enabling him
to surprise q jailer who was bringing
his breakfast.
Free Four Hours
Recaptured at Ardmore, four hours
after forcing his way from the Dallas
Jail and kidnapping Turnkey Nick
Tresp, Bailey, manacled hand and
foot, was brought here by q five-car
caravan Of heavily armed officers.
Apprehensive Of an attempt to free
Bailey at Ardmore following . tip
that members Of his gang were await
ing him east Of there, federal officers
speeded his removal to Oklahoma
City, where four other alleged men,
bers Of the Urschel kidnap ring al
ready were held.
The four are Albert Bates, named
as one Of the actual kidnapers, and r.
q. Shannon, his wife, and son, Ar
mon. on whose Paradise, Tex. ranch
Urschel was held for nine days until
the ransom was paid, and where
Bailey later was captured as he lay
asleep, q machine gun under his bed.
Bailey was captured by Ardmore
officers who were advised OF his ap-
proach by telephone, after chase In
which his pursuers fired three shots.
none Of which took effect.
Although he had . heavy caliber
pistol, Bailey made no attempt to re-
sist after he wrecked Tresp'S car while
speeding through Ardmore streets IN
an effort to elude the officers.

DIVERSION HACKERS
Say Lakes and Rivers Are Dry

Devils Lake, N. D., Sept. 5.-P)-
Scores OF cities and towns in North
and South Dakota Joined Tuesday In
an appeal to the federal government
for water relief through the Missouri
river diversion project.
Describing conditions in Ermons
county, R. r. Hogue Of Linton, rep
resentative Of the North Dakota Tax
payers association, declared that If
they continued for as long as eight
months a large part Of the popula-
ton would have to move out.
I'VE have no marketable crops, no
feed. no forage, no gardens, all as
result Of the drought" DR.. Hogue
said.
There Is no surface water for
livestock. Many Of our wells are dry.
People are hauling water as far as
Is miles for their livestock and the
stock Is going to market at great
sacrifice. Our breeding stock IS be-
ing sold, thus hampering this indus
try in years to come"
George p. HOMES of Crosby point
ed out that the government has
poured millions Of dollars into that
area for relief Of stricken farmers.
Thousands Of farmers" he de-
clared, have been forced to abandon
their farms because they have been
unable to pay taxes and interest or
even support themselves from the
crops. The situation Is intolerable."
Judge George M. McKenna, writing
from Napoleon, drew attention to the
value Of the project as an instrument
Of flood control on the lower Missis-
sippi.
Will Pay In Long Run
1T seems to me-" he declared. that
this project would amply repay the
government in the long run for the
expenditure named because it will
prevent the expenditure In the future
Of vast sums In prevention Of floods
and care Of flood sufferers In the
SOUTH"
Farmers are hauling water for
their stock In barrels and tanks,
groves Of trees are dying on farms
and In towns and cities many have
already died. Ducks with their
broods are seen travelling on foot
looking for water, while prairie

said, but at the Farm Adjustment Ad-
miniStration there was no comment on
methods that might be adopted.
The price provisions of the proposed
basic pact were criticized severely by the
consumers counsel of the Farm Admin
istration and economists who analyzed
the agreement, Secretary Wallace said.
They cOntended consumers would be
charged more than any resultant bene-
fits to the farmers from the proposed
accord.
Wallace said 1t had been estimated
that for each increase Of one-half q
cent per pound tn sugar prices, the
$4,000 farmers raising sugar in this
country would have received benefits
falling at least $3,900,000 short of the
excess cost to the 100000 farmers who
are consumers Of sugar.
Benefits Uneven.
"This net loss to farmers taken as a
group" the Secretary said, "is the rea-
son why the agreement in the form pre-
sented to me would have resulted in in
creasing rather than reducing the dis
parity in agriculture's purchasing power.
Under the agreement, increased cost
to 100000 farmers who are consumers
from each half cent rise in price, would
be more than $l4,000,000 as against
benefits to $4,000 farmers of only about
