GERMANS EXECUTE
YOUNG SYONEMASON
Van Der lubbe Pays With Life

stag Building

Leipzig. Germany. Jan. 10.-tRt-
Marinus Van Der Lubbe, 24-year-old
Dutch stonemason, was beheaded
Wednesday for firing the German
reichstag building In Berlin last Feb
ruary.
He had repeatedly confessed setting
the fire but steadfastly refused to d.
vulge any information as to whether
he had any accomplices.
Van Der Lubbe had been under
sentence Of death since December q
when the supreme court convicted
him and acquitted four co-defend-
ants.
Steps through which the Dutch gov
eminent sought to gain lighter SEN
tence for tho young Hollander were
unavailing.
Late Tuesday night Van Der Lubbe
was informed by the Leipzig prison
governor that German justice must
take It's course, but the announcement
failed to arouse him from the stupor
In which he remained virtually
throughout the long trial.
The guillotine was erected during
the night by the official executiouel
and his attendants In the prison yard
Of the Leipzig district court.
At 7:25 o'clock Wednesday morning,
few strokes Of the prison bell an
nounced to the outer world that 4

ernoon when reported attempts to
dismiss Ole B. Lund rs accountant
for the auditors board are expected
to be aired.
Lund was called to Bismarck from

time that Gov. william LANCER,
chairman Of the industrial commits
sion. sought dismissal Of Lund. but
the matter had remained dormant.
Lund Is employed BY the board Of
auditors. composed Of Secretary Of
State Robert Byrne, State Auditor

Lunds work before the joint meet
ing ana probably ask his dismissal.

Christensen Says Government
Cannot Carry Relief Bur-

Fargo, N. D., Jan. l0.-(F)-Fgures
showing the growth Of poor relief
work In North Dakota since 1880 and
an almost revolutionary change from
local to federal funds In carrying the
burden of the loan during 1888 were
presented BY Judge A. NJ. Christian
son to the North Dakota Association
Of County Commissioners at its 9th
annual meeting here Tuesday.
Christianson. justice Of the state
supreme court, Is chairman Of the
state committee set up to handle
federal funds in North Dakota, in
Guiding the CWA.
He presented figures to show that
IN 1880 there were but 9,447 persons
OF poor relief rolls Of the state and
$78l ,446 was the total expended In
the nine month period ending Sept.
80. 1880. In that period in 1891 the
number on the rolls had increased
to 1860 persons, the amount ex-
pended to 81, 100. 408 and in 1882 It had
increased to 29.4l6 persons and ST.
477,042
Government Bears Burden
He pointed to the change in the
ratio of federal funds to local funds
In caring for the poor and the growth
Of poor relief work last year.
Last January the federal funds
coming to North Dakota for poor re-
lief work constituted 0.3 per cent Of
the total expended for that purpose,
OCT per cent being local funds. The
figures were $l3 ,008.47 Of federal funds
and $l70. 69.6l local funds.
BY November the relationship was
reversed. In that month sos per cent
Of all poor relief funds In the state
came from federal funds and 1915 per
cent from local sources. The figures
were: federal 43l7,076: local 477.O07.
Christianson warned that federal
relief expenditures are only temporary
1.-THE emergency relief act expires In
May 1885" he said. land money appro-
priated for carrying on this work will
last only until April Il may be that
congress win make additional appro-
pr1ationS-it may extend the act, but
these things are not assured and one
thing Is certain. that the time will
eventually come when this federal aid
will cease.
There never was an intention on
the part Of the government to take
this work over permanently"

Sound Basis

Party Leaders in Senate and
House Predict Success

ARE BACKED By PROPERTY

washington. Jan. 1o.-(R-Presiden
Roosevelt in his first special message
to congress Wednesday proposed
that the government guarantee the
principal OF the $4,000, 100000 in
bends for refinancing Of farm mort
cages.
Also, in = conference with Chair
man Fahey Of the Home Loan Board,
he agreed that the $2,O0O00 900 In
hcme loan bonds should be treated on
a basis OF substantial equality with
the farm mortgage bonds. A recon-
mendation on methods Of providing
some form Of government guarantee
is now being prepared, but Wednes-
days message did not deal with this.
The senate and house were &C.
quainted in the brief message with
the presidents conviction that the
government has the moral responsi-
bllity to guarantee these issues.
He pointed out that the action
recommended would put the bonds on
q par with treasury securities.
Should Acknowledge Obligations
1T is true" he said, that techni-
cally the responsibilities Of the gov
eminent will be increased by the
amount Of $4,000, O00, 900, but 1t seems
IN every way right that we thus pub
licly acknowledge what amounts
already to q moral obligation.
I'm any event." the securities to be
offered are backed. not only by tho
credit Of the government, but also by
physical property Of very definite
value"
The Democratic leadership Of SEN
ate and house expressed no doubt
they would be able to get the legis-
lation wanted. Bills to the end
sought already were prepared and
action was to be asked without de-
lay.
Later In the day the president
planned to send to the senate mes
sage proposing immediate considera-
ton Of the treaty with Canada for de-
velopment Of the st. Lawrence water
ways.
