THE BIS BISMARCK, NORTH DAKOTA, FORTIETH YEAR . FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 18, ’21 PRICE FIVE CENTS GREAT BRITAIN FOR OPEN DOOR POLICY RRR SAYS LEAGUERS “GENERALLY ARE BEHIND CONTEST John Bloom of Devils Lake Ar-|' rives in Bismarck to Take Charge of Preparation SAYS. FUNDS OBTAINED Attorney-general Says He’ll Not Be In It But Says Petiti- oners Are Right Opposition expressed by some Non- partisans to the proposed contest of the recall election was discounted by John Bloom, of Devils ‘Lake, here early today to take charge of prepara- tions in advance of the arrival of at. torneys, “There is only a comparatively small per cent of Nonpartisans who have expressed opposition,” he said, “and they base their attitude mainly up expressions in the Courier-News and the attitude of league headquar- ters, but I think down in their hearts they are anxious that we go through with it. Of course it would not be a good thing’ for League headquarters to start a contest, it would not be the action of good sports after they had been leading one side in the elec- tion.” Asked if he would ask the attorney general’s office to take part in prep- ération for the contest, Mr. Bloom said he would not do so, Attorney General William Lemke who arrived hére from Washington during the night said, however, that he believed Bloom and his associates were right on the ques- tion of fact and of law. He said he would not take part in the case. SERVES IN JAIL FOR BUDDY HARKY W. HALEY By N. E.

Jones, charged with being a de Haley con! time under Jo saved his life in Fr Jones, who is ma Canada. He'll have to sentence, despite Haley’ ficials say. CLOTHES SHOP WILL OPERATE The cost of the contest is uncer- tain, Mr. Bloom said. He said that until yesterday out of 30 requests for $100 contributions George Laird had received refusals from but three. The original cost was estimated at from between $3,000 to $5,000, he said. “It depends upon the course of the case,” he said. If the supreme court accepts our verified petition it will be kept within this amount, but if it is required that we bring in witnesses it > will cOst-a ‘great*deal “more.” * One theory of the contest, he said, would be that there was a large num- ber of duplications in recall peti- tion and’ that there was a large num- be who signed petitions who had not voter for governor at the previous election. One or two other lesses points will be raised he said. He thought complaint would hardly be ready for presentation to the court before Monday. DO NOT TAKE CONTEST SERIOUSLY Independents do not regard the proposed contest of the recent elec- tion seriously, T. G. Nelson, secre- tary of the Independent Voters As- sociation declared here today. “If they do not believe the petitions contain the names of legitimate vot- be a lively time in any town that the them,” he said. “Since there are over 2,000 of them in the state there would pe a lively time in any town that the contest case might be started.” EXPECTS JUDGE NAMED SOON Be- Attorney-general Lemke lieves it Will be Miller or Richardson Andrew Miller of Bismarck . or Seth Richardson. of Fargo will be ap- pointed federal judge in North Dako- to by president Harding in the opinion of Attorney-General Lemke, who re- turned today from Washington. He said that Senator McCumber and Senator Ladd urged their res- pective candidates, Miller and Rich- ardson, and he expected that one of the two would be named. He thought appointment might be made by Presi- dent Harding in the very near future. Mr. Lemke went to Washington to argue the state grain grading case, in which the constitutionality of the law is in question before the U. S. supreme court. The case now is finally submitted, he said. Judge Simpson, of Minneapolis, appeared for the Farm- ers Elevator company of Embden. He made a motion to permit the fil- ing of a brief in the Wisconsin rate case, involving the Esch-Cummins law, which was permitted, he said. FEDERAL COURT MAY CONVENE A petit jury term of federal court will be held in Fargo, Minot, Devils Lake and Bismarck next month if Judge W. J. Woodrough of Omaha, will preside accordng to Judge Charles F, Amidon of Fargo. “Everything depends on whether Judge Woodrough can come to take charge of the court work in the dis- trict of North Dakota,” said Judge Amdon. “If so, terms of court will he held in Minot, Devils Lake, Bis- marck and Fargo. “Last advices from Judge Wood- rough were to the effect that he thought he could come.

The business wiil be still !2cated and conducted in the present location in the McKenzie hotel building. The chief reason to prompt this hustling clothing enterprise to change the style name, is for the reason that in the past few years there have been other tosens who have come to Bis- marck and have operated under this name in the clothing business. . - “Our customers and the public have ,| the corporé ‘HOUSE ACCEPTS Rejects President Proposal in a Close Vote Include Provision To Tax Gifts By Wealthy Washington, Nov.. 18—The house | having settled the big issue in the tax, revision bill by accepting by a vote of 201 to 173 the snate 50 per cent maximum income surtax rate amend- ment, senate and house conferees re- sumed their negotiations today witli a view to reaching an agreement on the j bill by tomorrow night. The margin by which the house aj pnoved the senate surtax rate—23 voles—was even larger than had bee. expected by proponents of the senate amendment. - The more important issues in the tax bill now awaiting seitlement are ion income rate fixed at 12 1-2 per cent by the house and by the senate at 15 per cent, and the scaate proposal to tax gift of property persons the purpose being to pre- vent evasion of taxes by the wealthy. Ninety-four Republicans, most of them from the middle and far west, joined with the practically solid Damo- ¢ minority in supporting the sur- ux amendment. Announcement of the result brought applause from both sides of the chamber with some of the Democrats breaking into cheers. Three hours before the vote was taken, the house listened to the read- ing of a letter from President Hard- ing to Chairman Fordney of the ways and means committee, suggesting that the house and senate compromise. The executive, said he still believed the original house rate of 32 per cent was “nearer to a just lovy and the more promising one in returns to the public treasury,” but that in view of the legislative situation he thought “it : wholly desirable” that there be a com promise at 40 per cent.

We came to Bis* marck first and as we were then the only Rosens we decided to style our clothing business as Rosen's Clothing Shop, but today there are others of similar names which oonfuses the trade and that is why we have deemed it necessary to change the style name of our up-to-date and first-class cloth- ing store to The Men’s Clothes Shop. “We desire to inform the public that by changing the stylo name of our business it is not going 1:9 inter- rupt in the least with the quality of merchandise that we have carried for years.

Baron’ Kato bas announced Japan's acceptance of China's proposals as the besis of dis- cussion in committee saying he had no objection to their acceptance in principle for that purpose, British, Americans Differ. Meanwhile committees of the Brit- ish delegation pushed thelr work to- day of formulating in detail their po- sition on both the American arma- ment proposal and the Chinese Far Eastern program. Although prepara- tion of the British viewpoint on the armament questions, it was stated, will require two or three days yet for completion the committee of naval of- ficers for the five powers is carrying forward its consideration of the American proposal and is reported al- ready to have made some progreas. It As, regarded as certain, however, that: no early reports from this body can be looked for in view of the task it faces in accommodating the strong British desire for a cut in the maxi- mum submarine tonnage proposed and the equally firm American view that this maximum should be retained While this at present. is the outstand- ing point of disagreement on the arm ament question the committee also must take up modifications to be pro- posed by Japanese permitting her to maintain a “general tonnage slightly greater” than the proposed 60 per cent ratio. Announcement that Japan would ask this was made by Baron Kato late yesterday in a statement in which he said his country also would seek the right to maintain in type of vessels of “strictly defensive char- acter” of tonnage approximating that of the other two powers, | ( ' i For twenty-four hours ending at noon Noy, 18, Temperature at 7 A. } Highest yesterday .
