He! said that the same method as in pre- vious campaigns with respect to gen- eral organization work would be used —thery will be the state committee, county managers and local organiza- tions, There will be this difference, however, he said. The league will rely on volunteer workers for county; general conduct of the campaign. “We have about 150 volunteer speakers,” he said. “Many of them| are farmers who are willing to go out. | There also will be speakers from ‘Montana, Minnesota and South Da- kota who will tell the people that| North Dakota tax problems are not; as serious as the tax pnoblems in those states. There are now some; league organizers in the field, solicit- ing memberships, collecting past-due checks and extending the organiza- tion, but the campaign will be con- ducted mainly by volunteers.” ‘He «predicted defeat of the Inde- pendent candidates by 25,000. Mr. Nestos, who attended a meeting of candidates in Fargo yesterdayéan- !nounced ‘he would’ begin a speaking tour in Richland county next Mon- jay. Text of The Statement Mr, Nestos' statement follows: ( “The plan now is to start the speak- ing campaign in Richland county next Monday. In this campaign I propose; to deal with the issues and especially | with the conduct of the public busi- ness during the last few yoars. i “I do not pnopose to engage in any | personal abuse or vilification or ‘to call anybody any names, but I do pro- pose to speak plainly about the se-; crecy, ‘the waste and the incompe-| tence in the management of the pub- { lic business of our state. There has| been too much of a disposition on the part of the industrial commission to; surround its operations with tne mys- tery and secrecy of a Klu Klux Klan and to prevent the people or * ples’ representatives fiom get facts. “I expect in the campaign to bring | an abundance of evidence to prove! the truth of these statements and to} show that by this secrecy and by the use of the various industries «nd the | public moneys, theyhave sought and succeeded in serving the inner poli- tical ring; the autocracy in power, instead of the people of the state.

Layer was! plea of guilty. That the confession olitained by officers from Layer was forced from; him by “third degree” methods and| that new evidence has been discover- ed tending to throw doubt upon Lay- er’s original story was the basis of the plea for trial made by Edward P.; Kelly and James Morris of Carring- ton, attorneys for Layer. The crime for which Layer was sentenced, ong of the most brutal in! the annals of the'state, was supposed-| ly committed April 22, 1910. Jacob! “| Wolf, his wife, five children and a! chore boy were found murdered in| their home north of Turtle Lake. j McLean county. The confession of| Layer was made in the jail at Wash- burn May 12, 1920. z Morris asserted that officers “pldnt- ed” a detective with Layer in the cell to gain his confidence, subjected him to ‘third degree” questioning, struck: him, and told him that a mob would; get him if he did not confess and get out of Washburn. ™M. Tellefson, states attorney of! McLean county, and John E. Wil-| liams, who was states attorney when} ‘Layer was sentenced, argued before} the supreme court that Layer had been given every opportunity to re- vudiate his confession before he was token to prison, and answering the charge that he was threatened with mob violence said he had requested istration, and shall then lay the re- conducted and how the affairs of the) | state stand. | “T als propose. to appoint @ com- | mittec: of citizens ‘thoroughly familiar | with the grain and milling business, | and in whom the farmers of the state have confidence to make a survey of the Mill and levator association, de- | termining the cost to date, the amount ' {needed to complete the project, what | funds required for operation, the best method of manufacturing and selling \ the product and to make such recom- mendation for the future conduct of this business 23 in their opinion will) best serve the people of the state. we intelligently plan and apply the | relief.

HIBBINGSLAYER | FACING CAPTURE KILLS HIMSELE John Webb Blows Head Off With High-powered Gun in Cabin in Woods POSSE WAS CLOSIN IN Murderer of Three Policemen Turns Gun on Self as Officers Near Cabin Hibbing,. Minn., Sept. 14.—John Webb, who shot and kiiied three mem- bers of the Hibbing po: force last Thursday night, shot and killed him- self at 7:45 a. m. today in a shack one mile east of Hibbing when -sur- rounded by a police posse. He blew his head off with a bullet from a rifle when a posse approachea the shack. Webb was charged by the local po-| sice department with killing the po-j iicemen when they went to arrest him on a warrant charging him with a statutory offense. The fugitive killed himself with a 30-30 rifle, the same weapon he used in his triple slaying here. It was just 7:45 a. m. when five; patrolmen approached the cabin which reated on a knoll in 1 wide clearing in the woods. Ever cautious of the Gead shot des- perado they got within 200 feet of his hiding place before they espled him. Just a moment his head showed at a window, a gaunt face pcering out at them like an animal at bay. Then he dropped from sight and a second or) two later the shot rang out that end-| ed the search for the man who had struck terror to the countryside around Hibbing.

The; EARLY TRIALIN ARBUCKLE CASE | District Attorney Believes Mur- der Charge Should be Press- H ed Against Actor |FATTY REMAINS — SILEN |Unmoved By News of Indict- ment by the Grand Jury in San Francisco Prison San Francisco, Sept. 14.—T! was cleared today for a cent Gin ot Roscoe “Katty” Arbuckle, motion picture comedian, on ‘one or two charges that holds that he is respon- sible for the death of Miss Virginia Kappe, motion picture actress, after ane had been subjected to an alleged eae in his rooms in tie St. Francis ; ‘Ine first charge is murd = ferred Monday by Mrs, Bambina Maude Delmont who said she was in an adjoining room at the time of the alleged attack. The second is man- slaughter which was returned as a trial bill by the grand jury last night and which will become a formal in- dictment when it is filed in court to- morrow. The authorities were all discussing today the charge on which they will bring the actor to trial ‘Would Press Murder Charge District Attorney Brady is of the opinion that the murder charge should stand. If Arbuckle is cleared of that charge in the event he is tried on it he still must face the manslaughter charge. The coroner’s inquest, which start- ed Monday was continued today with Miss Zey Prevost and Alice Blake scheduled as witnesses. Arbuckle re- ceived news of his indictment in the city prison early today, He said nothing and appeared unmoved. Miss Prevost was a witness at last night’s session of the grand jury, Dis- trict Attorney Matthew Brady today announced she then told a story which differed in many particulars from the statement she is said to have given his office of circumstances attending the’ Arbuckle party. Brady said he was conducting an investiga- tion to learn why Miss Prevost’s statement differed. Mrs. Bambina M. Delmont, friend of the dead actress and her compan- ion at the, Arbuckle party, in her tes- timony detailed the alleged attack as she has detailed it a number of times before. She told Coroner T. W. B. Leland in response to a question, that although she had taken several drinks of whiskey, her memory had remained clear. Mrs. Delmont admitted having brought liquor from Los Angeles to the party. She said, however, that Miss Rappe did not touch this liquor. ASKS FILMS BARRED. St. Paul, Sept. 14—Moving picture men of Minnesota were called on to- day by Governor J. A. 0.
