IESDAY, SEPT. 2, 1920 CCK TRIBUNE ier EDITION PRICE FIVE CENTS PROPOSE SPLIT IN CITY WARDS BEFORE VOTING City Commission Would Divide Four of Them Because of : Increase in Votes COUNTY ALSO MIXES IN) “Whistling Eddie” Patterson Wants in City Affaris—Other Action of Commission First reading of an ordinance divid- ing Bismarck wards into election pre- cincts to reduce the number of votes which would be cast at a voting plac? | when women vote in the fall was held befort the ctiy commission last night.’ The city ordinance would divide the first, second, third and sixth wards into two precincts and leave the fourth ! and fifth wards unchanged. It developed that “Whistling Eddie” Patterson still wants to dabble in city affairs, though his league ticket was swamped by Bismarck voters in the primary and his ticket beaten in the county. The board of county commissioners, of which “Whistling Eddie” is high priest, believes it has the power to divide the city wards into precincts, it was reported. The curious thing about it is that Eddie’s board would, divide the city the same way as the city commissioners, except that the county commissioners would divide the sixth ward. Whistling Eddie's precious fifth ward, however, is un-! disturbed. The county precincts would not be divided. Women for Inspectors During a discussion over the ap- pointment of precinct election inspec- tors, members of the city commission expressed themselves favorably on a proposal to appoint some women in-; spectors. The division proposed by the city | is as follows: First Ward Precinct No. 1—All that: part of the: first ward between Mandan avenue and Fifth street. Precinct No. 2—All that part of first ward not included in precinct 1. Second Ward Precinct No. 1—All that part of second ward between Mandan avenue and Fifth street. Precinct No. 2—All that part of the second ward not included in precinct; No. 1. Third Ward Precinct No. 1—All that part of the third ward between Fifth street and Tenth street. Precinct No. 2—All that part of the third ward not included in pre-; cinct No. 1. Sixth Ward Precinct No. 1-—All that part of the sixth ward between Fifth street and Tenth street. “The fourth and fifth wards shall comprise the same election precincts as heretofore, each ward comprising one election precinct. Read the Budget The city budget was read for the first time. budget, which estimates total expendi- tures for the year of about $114,000, is tentative and will be changed in many particulars. The commission was informed that; Ed Allen, state’s attorney, had agreed ; to a “compromise” in the tax case, in’ which it was held that the city| exceeded the state limitation. As a result of the action following were stricken from the 1919 budget: swimming pool, $10,000; bridge fund, $2,500; park maintenance, $1,000, 2 total of $13,500, which will be re- turned to taxpayers. The total excess had been estimated , at about $23,000, but there was a legal; question as to ‘just what cut should! be made, and rather than’ have an- other lawsuit the “compromise” ' was agreed upon. The net result is that the kiddies lose their swimming pool, the county pays the $2,500 the city had appropriated for Bismarck-Man- dan preliminary bridge survey and; the fund for park maintenance is wip-| ed out. The board of education petitioned! the city for sidewalks in front of the new east side schoolhouse and on! streets leading to the schoolhouse. ONE TELEPHONE FOR EVERY TEN, FIGURES SHOW, There is one telephone for every ten persons in North Dakota, according to figures compiled by V. E. Smart.| rate expert of the railroad commis- sion. The compilations show that there are 72,755 subscribers in the state. There are about 1,083 telephone com panies, which own 27,700 miles of pole line and use 1,620,986 miles ot! iron and copper wire to perform this {| service. These figures will be en- hanced as the commission is able to secure data from many small. farm lines, according to Mr. Smart. Most of these telephone companies are now seeking rate increases from the commission. 4 NEW CITIZENS IN COUNTY TODAY There are four newly made citizens in Burleigh county today. They were admitted by Judge Nues- sle, of district court, after examina- tion. They are: Katherine Otto. Wilton, subject of Russia; Machacl Schneider, subject of Russia; Waino Waino, Wing, subject of Finland; Os- kar Heino, Arena, subject of Finland. Three applications were rejected because the candidates had not made sufficient progress in acquainting themselves with the American gov- ernment and customs. It was explained that the; items; ARE YOU REAL CITY sentative Crow: This is the question men in charge of the Third Booster Tour, due to start from Bismarck at 8 a. m. Sept. 23, are seeking today. 5 Eager to have representative busi- ness men—to have every business house in the city represented — the touring committees issued an appeal to every real booster who will goon the trip to notify the Commercial club, phone 313. At a meeting of committees last evening it was reported that all ar- rangements were completed. The one thing now is to get the crowd on the starting mark promptly at 8 a. m. ‘Thursday. Emphasis was laid at the meeting of committees .on the fact that the jtrip is a serious proposition, not a |joy ride. Every business man on the trip is going for the purpose of extend- ing greetings with others in the 16 towns to be visited. Individual ad- ;vertising is barred. There will. be ‘LODGE’ FEATURE IN PARKS OF GRAND RAPIDS Given Over to Free Use of Part- ies Unon Application \to City Official STRICT RULES MPOSE Only One Party Has Violated Any of the Regulations Imposed Editor's = Note—This is the third in a series of articles upon park systems, published with a view of assisting public spirited citizens of Bismarck in solving the Capital City’s park problems. Grand Rapids, Mich. Sept. 21— Grand Rapids has taken an unusual step in public park use and advanced an idea so novel and successful that there are plans afoot in many cities to- day to pattern parks and park houses after it. In an effort to encourage commun- ity interests, and make the best use cof their park so that it can be enjoyed by everyone, the park commissioners erected a “Lodge” at Garfield park, at a cost of approximately $2,500. It is a cement-plaster and frame two-story construction, and is situ- ated in the center of a grove of trees on the banks of a beautiful wading ool.. On the first floor is a hall for dancing, with several small lounging and rest rooms. The second floor was modeled into a living apartment. Garfield Lodge. This house, which is known as Gar- field Lodge, is given over free to be used for parties not to exceed thirty persons, on appli n to the secre- tary of the board. A piano is a part of the furniture, and parties not car. ing to go to the expense of hiring small orchestra, find it economical for members to furnish the music. The light and heat are furnished gratis, and it is possiblé for a party to in- | dulge in a very satisfactory entertain- ‘ment without a cent of expense. | The caretaker of-the park, who has a family, is housed in the upper story, {and the cost of his maintenance is ‘thus materially decreased. His wife is an excellent cook, and with proper notice will concoct refreshments for a | party at a moderate cost. The only requirements which are in- | sisted upon by the board are that each ‘guest shall register, that boisterous j conduct be taboo, and that smoking ‘shall be forgotten. Since the estab- | lishment of the Lodge, only one party {has violated the rules; they succeed- gd in breaking several chairs before ‘the caretaker exercises his special po- | ! lice powers. The name of each mem- | ber was secured from the register, and ‘all were’ served with a polite, yet | forceful, notice not to ask for a second | privilege. In the winter time the Lodge is al- ways in use. Dancing parties are not the only function, although they are | predominant. Frequently Sunday School classes stage socials there, and mothers’ meetings are often held. It is the center of the minor social life in the vicinity, and a favorite i place for gatherings of all descrip- |tions. In the summer it furnishes an ideal place around which lawn so- ;cials and other events of similar na- | ture may be centered. The success of the Lodge is unques- tioned. The money saved on the e: | pense of maintaining the caretaker | will soon pay off the original cost. | The expense for light and fuel iS pro- portionately small. And it has en- couraged social activity and commun: ity interest to such an extent that offi- cials declare the benefit easily remun- {erates for the expenditure. The Lodge | has grown to be as much a part of the {community as the park itself and without it, the children and young folks would be heavily handicapped. “From a moral standpoint the Lodge jis indispensable,” said HE. E. Pulte, president of the board. “It creates 2 desire for wholesome, clean entertain- ment and fun, which is just what ev- ery growning child and young person needs. It gives them a place to go it the evenings, where they meet their friends and acquaintances and enjoy j innocent pleasures. Without it they would be at a loss to know what to do, and as a result they would drift in- to dangerous channels.” In the near future, it is anticipated that a special bond issue will be vot- jed upon, which will provide a fund sufficient to build lodges in all the wards of the city. BOOSTER? IS ASKED BY TOUR COMMITTEE With All Arrangements Made For Best Bismarck Extension Trip of the Year, Committee Wants to Get Out Repre- d for the Tour : “stunts but no tomfoolery,” said one member of the committee. The trip will not be a hard one to make, the schedule being slower than the first two trips. Assured of hearty greetings in the ‘owns to be visited, the local commit- teemen want a representative crowd to extend Bismarck’s glad hand. The business men already signed up for the trip do not except to realize personal benefit from it, except for a pleasant trip. They are going simply because they. want to boost the entire city. The transportation committee for the tour was out today to line up the men who will take cars on the tri They will not be satisfied with 1 than fifty. .Charley Anderson, c! man of the committee, who also has served on two or three other commit- tees this week, sacrificing his own time for the purpose of boosting the city, urges upon every business man who has a car. the importance of be- ing in line Thursday morning. $1,000 OFFERED FOR RETURN OF PETER ZINK Carrington, N. D., Sept. 21—-A re- ward of $1,000 has been offered for information that will locate Peter P. Zink, Sr., who disappeared from his home at Melville, August 14. Zink has been traced to the railroad station and it was at first thought he had gone to Minneapolis, but he has not shown up there. Records at the sta- tion disclose that no ticket was sold him and trainmen assert the missing man did not board any train. Zink had been suffering from the effects of a nervous breakdown. RESERVE BOARD ASKED TO HELP STOCK INDUSTRY Committee Calls on Board to Ask Encouragement in Re- viving Industry REPRESENT PACKERS, ETC. Washington, Sept. 21 — Relief from what was described as possible “destruction of “the: livestock” indus- try” through curtailment of banking loans was sought from the federal reserve board by a committee of live- stock producers. They asked the board to encourage banks of the reserve system to aid them financially in raising and marketing their product. Would Stop Loan “Callini? The committee, which came as the representative of a Chicago , con- ference of producers, packers and bankers, predicted dire consequences to the livestock industry throughout the west unless bankers and cattle loan companies discontinued “calling” loans. In reply, Senator Harding said the; board’s policy has been to look upon the livestock and other food-produc- ing industries as “vitally essential’”. He explained the board could not di- rect or compel loans by any banks but that it had planned with the re- serve banks for aid for the agricultur- al interests to the extent of nearly $1,000,000,600,000 this year. Young Stock to Market. Spokesmen for the producers’ com~- mittee told the board that, as a result of, the credit situation, the “little cowman and sheepman” was being forced to dispose of young stock which, is he could borrow more money, would be kept on the farms and ranges. Frank J. Hagenbarth, of Salt Lake declared this to be the in- dication of “a destruction of the in- dustry.” He said also that in the Pacific northwest there was an abun- dan¢ée of roughdge but little stock to teed it to because of tightened credit. PUBLISHES BOOK ON HISTORY OF THE N. P. LEAGUE “The Despoilers,” a a story of the North Dakota grain fields, has been published by J. E. Buttree, a pioneer of North Dakota. The book is a his- tory of the Nonpartisan league and of its leaders} who are termed “The Despoilers.” Mr. Buttree recounts many of the scandals of the Nonpartisan league administration, but devotes himself chiefly to ,the underlying ‘phases of the movement.” Theory and practice are not the same,” is the basis of his writings on the causes and results of the league. Mr. Buttree goes into details in the manner in which representatives of the league have taken hundreds of thousands of dollars from the farmers trough schemes of various kinds, the purpose of each of which is to create a powerful organization, retain part of the profit and autoeratic power for the purpose of increasing the power of the leaders. HURRICANE IS Washington, Sept. 21—A hurricane warning for 10 a. m. on the West Louisiapa coast and on the Texas coast from Port Arthur to Corpus Christi was issued today by the weather bureau. The warning said the tropical storm in the Yucatan was advancing north- westward and was attended by dang- jerous winds.

Houses be- longing to prominent Sinn Feiners were set on fire and a total of 28 residences are reported burned. The sacking of the town was carried out by 50 auxiliary police known as “black and tans,” from their uni- forms. Today these police were re- ported as declaring they would re- turn tonight to complete the destruc- tion of the town. The Burke brothers, the two po- lice officers were shot as they were leaving a restaurant. They had mo- tored over from Dublin in plain cloth- es with other members of the police force. Some dispute arose in the restaurant and as the Burkes emerged five shots were firey).from the crowd. tans” which are English recruits for the Irish police force. They started in motor lorries to Balbriggan. The shooting, burning and looting began immediately on their arrival. One of the acts of the auxiliaries was to seek out the men suspected of having shot the Burkes. One man, the father of a large family, was taken from his home and killed, as was a Gerry farmer. The latter was both bayonetted and shot. During the night numerous explo- sions were /heard. The “black and tans” left at 5 o’clock in the morn- ing, declaring that if the wounded police, officer, Sergeant Burke died, they Would return and finish the town. ATTACKERS DISGU : Belfast, Ireland, Sept. 21—After a display by Ulster volunteers today armed and disguised men in uniform attacked several parishes in the coun- ty of Leitrim and caused considerable damage with rifle fire and bombs. Reports from Scariff, county Clare, state that reprisals have been taken on that village for the wounding of constables. Similar scenes occurred }in Abbey, county Limerick, where the local temperance hall was burned, pharmacy damaged and windows of houses smashed in reprisal for the death of a constable Saturday. cD MacSwiney on 40th Day London, Sept. 21.—Lord Mayor Terence MacSwiney, of Cork, passed avery restless night in Brixton prison where he entered this morning the 40th day of his hunger strike, accord- ing to a bulletin issued, by the Irish self-determination league. He had some sleep but it was quite fitful and he was weak this morning, the bulle- tin states. When asked the direct question whether MacSwiney was being fed a home office official id this morn- ing: “Not that we know of but you must remember his relatives have free ac- cess to him.” This is the first time officials have qualified the statement that as far as government doctors know the Lord Mayor is now receiving nourishment. The prison physicians reported this morning that MacSwiney is consider- ably weaker than he was yesterday. COLBY REFUSES.

E. Pa rd, former member of the tax commission, They show an increase of the amount from $1,417,984 to $3,893,195. There is an increase for every ‘year, as the Nonpartisan league has in- creased the number of offices and bureaus in the state and added high- salaried appointive officers. The statement is made in answer to Prof. Wm. G. Roylance, “propa- gandist” for the Bank of North Da- kota, who is referred to as “late of the University of North Dakota, closet economist and school room theorist.” Figures Won't Lie? The figures show how the Non- partisan propagandists arrive at their claims of reduced taxes. They show a decrease in the state tax levy, but fail to mention that the valuation has increased and that the amount raised by the tax levy has increased three- fold on the state levy alone. Sometime before the state tax levy for next year was fixed by the state board of equalization, G. E. Wallace, tax commissioner, estimated that the current tax levy for state purposes would be about .7 of one mill, ex- clusive of the soldiers’ bonus. Mr. Packard ventured that it would range between 1.9 and 2.1 mills. { Prof. Roylance, in, a letter to the Fargo socialist paper, assailed this statement as a distortion of the trutn. He concluded: “A levy of 8 of a mill would more than cover the amount (levy for state purposes); so that it is plain that a levy of .7 mills -pro- posed by Commissioner Wallace will be ample.” But when the levy was fixed,-it-was-fixed not at»3.of-a-mill as Roylance suggested, but 1.9 mills. “The levy for the current year fixed by the state board of equalization was for the general fund, 1.044 mills; sink- ing fund, 0.05 mills; interest fund, 0.056 mills; total, 1.150 mills, or near- ly four times as great as Prof. Roy- lance declared would be ample. Add- ing to this 0.75 mills for the soldiers’ bonus, we get 1.9, mills,” said Mr. Packard's statement. Add Some More Taxes “On a valuation of $1,500,000,000 (estimated by state tax commissioner) this levy will produce $2,847,186.00. ‘This, however, does not tell the entire story. The income tax, the oil tax, and the stock and bond tax, all new and direct taxes, will produce this year $1,046,000, according to the state tax commissioner. His estimate for next year is about the same, so that to the $2,47,186 general property levy must be added these special direct taxes, which makes a burden of $3,- 893,186. In 1919, with no special di- rect taxes, the levy was $3,676,039, or somewhat less than for the cur- rent year. The rate last year was 2.4125 mills. “In 1918 the levy for state pur- poses, without the direct taxes of tnis year, was $1,690,156, or 4.3 mills. in 1917 it was $1,657,612 or 4.3 mills, and in 1916, the last levy made by the Hanna administration, it was $1,417,- 984, or 4 mills. Roylance Sees Red “My assertion which threw Prof. Roylance into such a rage, was that a levy based upon the pre-socialist valuation, would have to be about 9 mills to produce the revenue needed at this time. Let me demonstrate that this is true. Taking the levies in dollars for last year and this year, and the 1916 valuation as the base, I find that to produce this year’s | revenue upon the 1916 valuation, a levy of 11 mills would be necessary,’ and taking this year's levy in dollars, it would have required 10.4 mill levy upon the 1916 valuation to produce it. Here are the levies for the past four years in mills based on the 1916 val- uation: 1920, 11 mills; 1919, 10.4 mills; 1918, 4.8 mills; 1917, 4.9 mills: 1916, 4 mills. “Using the 1917 assessed valuation | as a base, to produce this year's revenue, 10 mills would have been sary, and to produce the 1919 essed valuation, 9.4 mills would have been necessary. Using the 1918 assessed valuation as a hase, to produce the 1920 revenue, a levy «f 9.6 mills would have been necessary, to produce the 1919 valuation, 91 mills would have been necessary. | “Mr. Wallace and Prof. Roylance;{ may prate to their hearts’ content in the socialist papers of the state, and} attempt to convey the impression that | a low rate percent levy upon a high) valuation, produces a low, tax burden, but they can’t get away with it.” DEAD FISH FOUND | NEAR VALLEY CITY; Valley City, N. D., Sept. 21.—Thous- ands of dead fish, pickerel, suckers. pike and a few bullheads, have been brought to the surface around the dam in the southeast part of the city. There is plenty of freshwater at the dam and there is no apparent reason why the fish died. __ KEEPS ORDER COL. S: BURA HART JR, Williamson, W. Mae Sept. 21.—Col. Samuel Burkhart, Jr., is commanding 370 federal troops statigned here, to preserve law and order in the Wil- liamson coal fields where a strike and lockout followed org: tion of the miners. Colonel Burkhart has full au- thority to declare martial law, but says he will not do so unless he finds it absolutely necessary. wee COMMISSION RENEWS ITS Dupuis and Aandahl Ignores Lemke’s Meddling in Controversy Records Corrected in Line With Opinion of State Supreme Court Commissioner Dupuis and Aandhal ,of the state railroad commission with Commissioner MiJhollan dissenting to- day*reinstated the order increasing in- terstate freight rates 35 percent and interstate-passenger rates 20 per cent. They announced that shippers and re- ceivers could appeal from any rate so fixed and set October 18 as the date upon which to hear any appeals. This is the second chapter in the battle between William Lemke and the league board of railroad commis~ sioners> After a former hearing on rates, the commission issued an order fixing the new rates in line with the rules of the interstate commerce com- mission. Lemke denouncing the com- missioners applied for and received an injunction suspending the opera- tion of the rates on the ground that the commission had not acted regular- ly and that the rates were confisca- tory. The court found that the records were’ not strictly in form and set aside the «ommission’s first order. The action taken today indi effort on the part of the majority of the commission to correct its proced- ure in line with the decision. It is intimated that Mr, Lemke will now attack the rates as a special at- torney general appointed by Governor Frazier who also disapproves of Du- puis and Aandhal, commissioners elected on the Nonpartisan league ticket. Milhollan stands pat for Lem- ke’s side on the controversy. FORD ANNOUNCES PRE-WAR PRICES Detroit, Mich.

Thomas Burke, pastor of St. Gabriel’s church. The negroes were wanted for the mur- der of a white man in a street corner argument. When Father Burke reached the church a mob estimated to number 5,000 was packed around the doors and ha hundred more had entered in search ‘tor the negroes. Forcing his way in- to the church through the crowd he addressed the crowd. “What is this sacrilege? Who are the rowdies that storm the House of God?” he demanded. Someone explained. “That makes no differentg,” the priest said. “This place is a sanctu- q I order every person in this AAT [building to leave immediately and quietly.” Crowd Breaks The crowd broke and filed out. The last man had left when a police riot squad arrived. Taking the police in- side Father/ Burke called to the hid- den negroes, and one came out from the confessional. A cassock in a robing room yielded a second and the third appeared from behind the altar rail. One knelt and kissed the priest’s hand; then police spirtied them out a side entrance. With the negroes safely away, Father Burke smiling, went out to ad- dress the mob. “Go home, be peaceful and happy. There's too much trouble in the world right now. Don’t start more,” was his advice. The mob left. Guard “Black Belt?” The first battallion of police reserves including 1,000 patrolmen, two plat- toons of mounted police, a machine .gun company, 7 rifle squads and a motorcycle force patrolled the riot zone on the south side this morning. The deadlines established last night when every negro who sought to leave the “black belt”? was halted and turn- ed back were lifted today. Elevated trains were run into the passing town stations under police’ protection this ;morning and removed the night force from the stockyards plant, including many negroes. Quiet Restored Quite prevailed this morning in the stockyards district on the southside where the white man was killed. The disturbance, which ended when the ;police hurried the negroes from the church while Father Burke was talk- ing to the crowd, was followed by minor outbreaks in which Frank Gev- in, white man, and several others, both negroes and whites, were report- ed both wounded and injured. The man killed was Thomas Bar- rett, an employe of the Chicago sur- face lines, who, the police said had been arrested several times on charges of assaulting negro men. Accordiing jto the police the trouble started when Barrett began abusing the negroes, threatening one of them. The negro is said to have drawn a razor, almost severing Barrett’s head by one stroke. Barrett's friends, whose number grew as they ran, followed the negroes to the church. DRY OFFICERS HERE TO STAY, THEY DECLARE Raid One Place and Say Théy Have Names of Others En- gaged in Whisky Running WATCHING MINOT LIN Federal prohibition officers are in Bismarck to stay until bottlegging in this section is ended, according to their statements.
