' THE WEATHER Unsettled |THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE LAST EDITION THIRTY-NINTH YEAR BISMARCK, NORTH DAKOTA. FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 3, 1920 PRICE FIVE CENTS SUBMARINE CREW. RESCUED FROM OCEAN DEPTHS FAIR BOOSTERS | PLAN TRIP HERE FOR NEXT WEEK Mandan Men Will Bring Band and Singers to Extend Slope Fair Welcome \ REDUCED FARE SECURED Special Train Will Be Run From Bismatck on Three Days of the Fair The Mandan boosters, a hundred strong, pushing the Missouri Slope fair, will probably invade Bismarck some evening next week. In addition to boosting the fair they will attempt to establish a closer friendship be- tween the two slope cities, according to the sentiment expressed by Man- dan people ‘this morning. The exact date of their excursion here has not been fixed, and details will be arranged by Thomas H. Sul- livan of the Mandan Commercial club, and George N. Keniston of the Bismarck Commercial club. Bring Their Band The Mandan ‘business men made two trips last week and met w splendid receptions in all towns vis ited, besides having a good time themselves. Their 25-piece band which is said to be excellent, will accompany them on their trip here. A quartette will also come with them and it is probable that a special song of invitation will be sung to Bismarck, and that a Bismarck quar- tette will reply. The boosters. will come either on a special train ahead of or behind No 4, or on No. 4. Reduced Rates for the Fair Reduced railroad rates for persons attending the fair have been secured on the Kildeer, Mott, and Linton branches and on the Northern Pa- cific main line from Dickinson to Steele. These rates are one and one- half of the regular fare for a round trip ticket. A special train will be run for the three days of the fair between’ Bis marck and Mandan. This train will leave Bismarck at 1:00 p. m., Bis. | marck time, and leave Mandan on the return trip at 11:00 p. m., Mandan time. Children’s Tickets The first day of the fair, Septem- ber 14, will be Children’s Day an¢ all children will be admitted to the grounds free of charge. Tickets were sent out this week to the county school superintendents and city su- perintendents at Bismarck, Dickin- gon and Mandan, Superintendent Martins of the Bismarck school re- ceived 1,000 children’s tickets. New Buildings Two new buildings are being erect- ed this year. One building to house the eight county exhibits was origin- ally planned to be 24 by 64 feet, but theeplans. have been extended to make the building larger, so as to in- clude a display of the state immigra- tion department. A new cattle barn, to house 126 head of cattle, is now being built on the fair grounds. The Canadian government wiii! have a display of agricultural pro- ducts and general items of interest at the fair. “Unusual interest is being shown in the women’s department,” Thomas H. Sullivan, assistant ' secretary of the fair said today. “Many entries have already been received from the women. ‘i “The committee is making bis plans for the proper display of the canned goods, cooking, sewing, etc. ; Sale tags will be allowed upon these products. “The live stock entries are coming in rapidly,” he continued. *Of course ; Westerman brothers carnival is the! big amusement attraction. This is 4| high class eastern carnival company? making its first trip west. i “Aviator Davidson of Valley City.) will fly. He does all the stunts which can be done with the Curtis ai plane. The professional auto race ticket has not been completed and until that is finished we cannot an- nounce the amateur ticket.” Get Together In discussing the proposed trip of the Mandan boosters to Bismarck, Mr. Sullivan said, “Let’s get together. There is no reason why the two cities should not be friendly. And there is no need to wait a year and a half for the bridge to be finished. No two cities can do as much for each other; with the opportunities and field that Mandan and Bism have they can be the biggest cities in the state.” Other Mandan men expressed the same attitude in regard to the pro- posed journey. REFORM WORKER VISITS PRISON. Miss Virginia Young, of New york | City, a worker with the American | Prison association, is in Bismarck for | the purpose of studying the care of} criminals and delinquents in the state | of North Dakota.

Poolroom Assembly Attacks Night Watch; Warrants Out Today for Attackers . Matt Sand man, was badly beaten up last night by a crowd of young men. He has sworn out warrants today for the ar- rest of Ray McAdams and Robert Windbaur. Sanders, it is said, has not proven very popular with the people of Man- dan. Last night he entered a pool room where a number gf young men were loafing. Reports say they were drunk. A fight followed, in which Sanders | was very much the loser. Thoma Sullivan, of the Mandan Commer club was passing by and dropped in to help the policeman, but after floor- ing two of his assailants, left.

The] agreement was signed under protests by representatives of the miners, whose scale committee will meet here for the purpose of asking that th2 wage agreement be re-opened and the mine workers given such further in- crease as was done in the case of the bituminous coal diggers. The scale committee went on rec- ord in a statement to the operators t the award of the commission was “far -from being satisfactory,” and that it was ally, unsound, disturbed the differentials, straddled the r igsues, would cause confusion and react against harmony and co- operation. The miners were prepared to pre- sent new demands at once, but it is understood the operators let it he i known they were there for one pur- pose, and that was to accept the award as approved by President W son, and that if the workers had an thing further to communicate, it | would have to go through regular { channels, as the mine owners’ com- mittee felt they had no authority to r receive new demands. | “VACATION? CONTINUED Wilksbarre, Pa., Sept. 3- ‘he “va- cation” of the insurgent mine work- ‘ers kept the anthracite coal fields slosed here today.

The back to the mines {move brought no beneficial results {and it is not thought that the con- ‘dition will improve until next week.

The letter urged bankers, packers live stock producers, and railway rep- rensentatives to mect here with repre- sentatives of the Federal Reserve bank “to find out whether there is not a better plan by which the livestock industry can be protected and financed to the end that confidence and normal tood production be restored and ab- normal shipments of young and breed- ing livestock be stopped.” West Depleted “The summer of 1920 has produced one of the grea test crops of hay, corn, pasture and other feeds known in the history, of the country,” the letter said. “However, tho and feeders find it very difficult to secure funds with which to purchase live- stock for their usual operations. The drouth last summer in the northwest, which caused a great part of the livestock there to be thrown on the market shows prospects of result- ing “alomst in extinction of livestock production in certain parts of the west,” said the call for the confer- ence, adding that the price for hides and wool are demoralized, with prac- tically no market. “It is of the utmost importance that this matter be disposed of promptly as the search for purchasing of live- stock for feed lolg and pastures is. quickly passing,” the letter con- cludes.” POLISH TROOPS ARE WELCOMED AS CONQUERORS Enter ‘Suwalki While General Budenny, Bolshevik Caval- ‘ry Leader, Retreats Warsaw, Sept. 3.—Polish troops have entered the city of Suwalki, 19 miles north of’ Augustowa, and have been given an enthusiastic welcome, aecording to an offical statement is- sued here today.

GIGANTIC POOL OF WHEAT FOR SALE I$ PLAN Farmers Would Virtually Con- trol Marketing and Selling of Grain Under Plan Columbus, Ohio, Sept. 3.—Forma- tion of a gigantic wheat pool in the United States, whereby the farmers virtually will ntrol marketing and selling the grain, is one of the more subjects to be planned here by farmers’ who are attending a three-day session of the national board of farm organizations. More than 150 farmers, represent- | ing, it was said, practically every ag- ricultural state in the union, are in attendance. The board of farm organizations controls 1,500 grain elevators in ‘the | country-and does a yearly business | of $2,000,000,000, according to offic- | ials. Plans are to take over or build grain elevators at every point where | wheat is shipped. It will be possible, it was said, to control 40 per cent of wheat output. “Profits will be stabilized and pri es to the consumer greatly reduced, said Charles S, Barrett, Uni Ga., president of the organiz E. M. Pollard of Nebraska, formet congressman, chairman of a com- mittee working out plans for the wheat pool. The committee is to re-' port tomorrow. night. Principal subjects which will be considered by the farmers will be co-operative methods of marketing and buying and methods to best care for their own interests. Friday morning, Governor James M. Cox will be interrogated and ask- to to fill out a special questionnaire. That afternoon, the farmers will go on to Marion and present Senator Warren G. Harding with the same questionnaire.

The forecast says: “Fair Friday night and Saturday; not much change in temperature.” But that only tells the immediate prospects. The general headquarters bulletin says: “Somewhat more settled weather conditions prevail this morning. The high pressure area is moving slowly eastward. Scattered precipitation has occurred in all parts of the Mis- souri and Missippi_ valleys. Clear weather prevails in the Rocky Moun- tain region and the indications are for generally fair weather in North Dakota tonight and Saturday, except possibly unsettled east portion, with not much change in temperature.” '. High Pressure brought .14 of an inch to Bismarck with the lowest temperature in the last twenty-four hours of 52. The maximum tempe- rature was 63. O. W. Roberts, who is in charge of the weather bureau and also pres- ident of the baseball association promised to do his best to have clear weather for Sunday, but he’s mak- ing no promises.

It was after three o'clock this morning when Lieut. Com. C. M. Cook, who ex- ercised his prerogative of being the last man to leave his vessel was taken aboard the steamer, Alanthus. Nine hours had elapsed since the plight of the undersea boat had been made public through a wireless call picked up by an amateur opera- tor in Farmington, Conn. Among those who responded to the all of the General Goethals was the steamer Alanthus, which, with the ar- my qaneport, stood beside the sub- merged vessel and managed the army to put a cable about the submarine. holding the submarine in a vertical position, a hole was bored and air pumped to the crew. The air in the submarine was practically exhausted. Towing Submarine The submarine S-5, which was par- tially flooded while making a dive 55 miles south of Cape Henlopen is heing towed to the Delaware brea water by the Alanthus. The Alanthus is proceeding slowly and is not expected to reach the Del- aware breakwater until about noon. New Device Used New York, Sept. 3—The rescued officers and men of the United States submarine S-5, who were submerged for more than 42 hours in their crip- pled submarine off Cape Frenlopen owe their lives to,a hither too little tested safety dash—the telephone buoy—developing during the world war. The steamer, plowing along the course of the cape, cought the insi: ent clamor of a huge gong, sighted a buoy where the mariner’s chart showed no buoy ought to be, drew closer and observed that there was # telephone on the mysterious buoy. A few minutes later the Goethals had a boat overside and this message came up: “The submarine S-5 has been sub- merged for 35 hours. Air igs run- ning she lachinery damaged. Send for help The Goethals wireless flashed the news ashore and within a short time fleet destroyers and other naval craft were rushing to the rescue. The Goethals, in the meantime, got a line about the stern of the S-5, and draw- ing it to the surface, drilled a small hole through the metal hole through wihch air was pumped to the suffocat- ing men until the submarine was pull- ed to the surface. First Big Test Yesterday’s use of the telephone buoy is said to have been the first critical test to which the apparatus had been put to since its development less than three years ago. It has been placed on but a few of the newest submarines and many na- val of! were ignorant even of its existence until its dramatic entry us the savior of the S-5 crew. Action Explained An officer attacked to the submarine base at New London, Conn., explain- ed the operation of the telephone buoy to the Associated Press. “The buoy with its telephonic and signalling equipment, “he said,” is attached to the hull of a submarine in such a manner that it may be releas- ed by an electrical control from with- in. When the buoy is released and rises to the surface the gong capable of being heard for a mile goes into operation.” The buoy also is equipped with electric lights giving it even greater signalling power in darkness. “When Lieut.-Commander Cook of the S realized while he was crip- pled,” said the officers, “all he had to do was to push the telephone buoy it.” CREW SAFE Washington, Sept. 3.—Informed by wireless that all members of the sub- marine S-5 submerged off Cape Hen- lopen had been rescued navy depart- ment officials today awaited further details of the rescue and a report as to the cause of the submarine’s | disability The S-5 had been on special re- cruiting duty at Atlantic ports. She was commanded by Lieutenant-Com- k= mander C. M. Cook. TOWING Boston, Mass., Sept. message from the Alanthus regeived today said: “S-5 secured to Alanthus. Fif- teen feet of stern above wate: sibly slight negative buoyanc, of boat on bottom. Towing S-5 to Delaware capes. If Alanthus fails to carry to the Bresas will do the tow- ing.” Pos- Ne
