i H ! PAGE EIGHT N. D. MAN FINDS HUNGARY IN ENTIRE CHAOS Jacob Rothschiller Housing Condition Budapest Serious UNEMPLOYMENT EXISTS Finds in Shows Films of Agricultural Conditions in North Dakota In a letter to the Bismarck Tribune Jacob Rothschiler writing from Bud- wpest Hungary, where he was sent by a North Dakota relief work organ- ization to aid in improving conditions rope reports that he finds polit , and economic chaos in Budapest, Hungary, Jan. 20, 1923. To the Bismarck Tribune, Bismarck, N. D. On his way to Odessa, Russia, hi ing spent three weeks in Hun ry, Mr. aJcob Rothschiller of Bismarc ports a successful continuance o his journey. In Hungary he finds an internal situation approximating, omic and social chaos. politic The is not only suffering from the exhaustion retributive to participation in a gruelling war, but also from the loss of two-thirds of its territorial possessions. In ad diton, the harsh measures and dis- er{minating treatment inflicted on the people within the lost provinces by the annexing governments, have caused great numbers to seek safety in their diminished homeiand, Hun- gary, is therefore, overburdened wita 2 penniless population to which, through lack of industrial develop- ment she is totally unable to give adequate support. Situation Critical. In Budapest the housing situation is critical. Families are quartered in makeshifts of all sorts, even to box-cars on railway sidings. There has been a consequent crowding to- gether in tenement houses. On one of his excursions around the city for tHe purpose of investigating condi- tions of the poor, Mr. Rothschiller visited only tenement districts. His i warrant that one-half the residents of Budapest live in ab- ject misery and distress. Families x to eight persons occupy, at the t, two and three small rooms for a home, with only the meéagerest of furnishings and equipment. Sanita- tion and ventilation do not exi: filth and squalor, form substitutes. To the class living under these cir- cumstances, America is their only hop They look and wait for the United Stats to force a peaceful set- tlement of European affairs; to pro- vide charity and relief; and to make the gold loans necessary to re-estab lish business stability. Mr. Rothschiller, throughout his stay in Budapest, was associated with church and charity organizations of every denomination. He personally visited many institutions, and made bequests of 50,000 to 100,000 kronors at each place, amounting in total to a sum of 1,500,000 kronors, or $500 in our money. In this manner he had the opportunity to thoroughly ac- quaint himself with the scope of charity work in Hungary, and to as- sure himself of a fair distribution of his offerings. Hungary on the whole is a backward country, and poorly organized, for this reason very little aid for the poor has been received from foreign nations, and practically no propaganda for this purpose disseminated. Coincident to the universal dis- tress and shortage of employment is the corresponding disinclination of the people to apply themselves and the lack of confidence fora better fu- ture. A poor man is glad to work to keep alive, but the one who has a little surplus is content to live spar- ingly and lose it all in idle exist- ence. He argues that wages are nig gardly, and that taxes, higher prices, and depreciating currency make it impractical to save and plan ahead. Showing Films. With him, Mr. Rothschiller, has . six reels of film which he has bor- rowed from the State Department ot Immigration for the purpose of show- ing the European beneficiaries of North Dakota generosity,the manner in which our ciitzens live and work, Acid Stomach Don’t Worry If Gassy, Sour, Belch- ing Stomach Follows a Meal. Use Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets. Sugars, starches and meats of the average meal often sour and cause gas because the stomach cannot at the time produce the alkaline effect to prevent acidity. So your recourse is one or two Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets chewed after eating or any time. They are pleasant white ie Jets and they do the work so nicely and comfortably that you feel great, you approach the next meal content- edly and you learn the secret of good living and how to take care of the stomach if troubled with indigestion. You can get these tablets at almost any drug store in the U. S. and Can- ada at 60 cents a box. Those who tear to eat pie, cheese, sausage, pas- try and the good things of the table for fear of a sour, acid stomach due to indigestion go back to them with- ‘out fear or distress.

L. reservation, Hall of Fort Berthold who has been connect- ed with missionary work since Oct 1874 relates in a letter to “The Van Hook Reporter something of the carly history of the missionary sta- tion on the Indian reservation and of conditions in this vicinity in that early day. The frontier of the Dakota at that time was Springfield, 30 miles up the Missouri from Yankton, “Bismarck was then just beginning to be the terminus of the Northern Pacific railroad at the Missouci. There was nothing in between the forts and the trading posts. Opposite and above Springfield were the sta- tions of the A. B. C, F, M. among the Indians,” the writer relates. “Indian missionaries had been looking forward to the occupation of Fort Berthold for some time. Fort Berthold was one of the Amer- ican Fur Company's trading posts on the Missouri. It was about 90 miles by the trail above Bismarck. Remnants of three tribes were ga- thered about the post. They were banded to help one another against the more hostile Sioux or Dakotas. The American board made the occu- pation of Fort Berthold a special object for the centennial year and sent us to begin the work. On Feb. 22, 1876 I was ordained a foreign missionary at Yankton. It the first’ missionary ordained che Dakotas, Father Seccombe ator, and Pre: iamson, Joseph in was mod- Magoun, J. Ward, A. L. Riggs. and Ehnamani, the preacher, took part. Mr. Hall relates that he made a trip down the Missouri by steamboat to preach one Sunday in Bismarck. “Here in Bismarck I preached my first sermon in the boundary of what become North Dakota, It was in the unfinished Presbyterian church of which the Rev. Mr. Sloan was pastor. Bismarck was a collec- tion of log houses that stood ready to be put on wheels at any time as the title to the ground in dispute. “There were about 400 people liv- ing there. The text of my sermon was “Hitherto Hath the Lord Helped va? ~d the subject: “Not Our Past History, But the Faith of the Past Exercised in the Pres@nt, Will Save Us.” In the evening we had a Dakota service’ on the boat. First we had the colored “roosters or roust- abouts” perched on barrels and sacks on the lower deck listening to the preaching some of them had requested. After dark we had preach- ing in the cabin. There were pai sengers, cooks, and some of the army officers, two army + surgeons, one from Virginia and one from Boston, a young lieutenant from New York harbor, people going to Mo one of the river pilots, the assist- ant engineer, and blacksmith, por! er, steward, clerk, women and _ba- bies, and some children from New York City streets. There were all sorts of people from all sorts of places. A type in minature of the west, The mon was on “The Blood of His Cro: and also our state. The films were given in Budapest before a good- sized audience preliminary to be sub- mitted to the censor. The wake enthusiastic over the scenes disMayed showing the big farms ang modern methods used in North Da- kota, and heartily applauded the lides of Gov. Nestos, U. S. Senator Frazier, and Commissioner Worst There are a large number of desir- able property-holders in Europe who, having become discouraged with Eu- ropean conditons, are selling out and leaving for North and South America, and Australia. This class of citizens have eagerly-inquired from Mr. Roth- schiller, information pertaining to the farming and business conditions in North Dakota with the view of finding a favorable location for a new home. It is to be regretted that the Hungarian censor refused to pass the films until the English portions of reading had been translated and substituted by that of the Hungari- an language. This of course, was impossible to do without great ex- pense and injury to the films, there- fore, Mr. Rothschiller decided not to comply and to proced on his way to Russia without further delay. Mr. Rothschiller leaves Hungary the latter part of January and hopes to precede his shifment of food and clothing, which is coming forward by water, to Odessa by eight or ten days. This will give him time to ar- range for a proper and orderly Wis- tribution of the wares. people TURN DOWN | RIVER PLAN Sen. McCumber Asks Missouri River Appropriation Washington, Feb, 7.—Consider- ation of the rivers and harbors pro- visions of the annual, army appro- priation bill occupied the senate six hours. The senate defeated, 46 to 15, an amendment offered by Senator Mc- Cumber, Republican, North Dakota, which would have set aside $250,000 from the lump appropriation of $56,- 589,910 for improvement work on tl Missouri river between Sioux City, Towa, and Fort Benton, Mont. Mr. McCumber declared special construc- tion was necessary in that stretcn to prevent further erosion of the banks with consequent destruction of government and private property and the blocking of approaches to river terminals. Nonpartisans _ Make Drive For Funds For Paper Mitchell, S. D., Feb, 7.—A fund of $10,000 to insure the publication of the South Dakota Leader, the offi- cial paper of the Nonpartisan league, was started by the first of a series of: Nonpartisan league meetings when 30° members of the farmers and labor parties met in Mitehell. More than $500 was pledged by members, and according to Tom Ay- ers, manager of the league in South Dakot it is expected much more. will be obtained in Davison county. The $10,000 to be raiséd this, year and an equal amount next year will insure the steady publication of the league’s organ until the time for the next state . political campaign. The paper has not been issued since last November. In addition to the decision to re- sume publication of the Leader, plans for the reorganization of the league in the state were mapped and it was decided that as soon as wea- ther conditions permit a corps of league organizers will start canvass- ing the state.

His prepared address was read by Winthrop L. Marvin, the senator being unable to appear. Emphasizing the dependence of tho American farmer on foreign markets Senator Jones’ message declared that the shipping bill, equalizing the difference in cost” of American and foreign ship operation would mean for the farmer American transporta- tion instead of foreign transporta tion. BACK PROPERTY Return of Many Million Dol- lars Worth Approved Washington, Feb. 7.—The admin- istration measure proposing return of many millions of dollars worth of enemy alien property seized dur- ing the war was formally approved by the house nterstate commerce committee after it had been amend- ed in many important particulars. ‘Aside from the original proposal for return of as much as $10,000 of each trust -fund held by the alien property custodian, the measure car- ries these general provisions: Payment to the original owners. other than once enemy aliens, of their stock in corporations, com- panies, partnerships and dssociations in such eases where a majority of the, stock was owned at the time of seizure by other than enemy aliens. Restoration to the original owners of all patents seizedg and not now in litigation and not sold to or li censed by the war or navy depart- ments.

IMMIGRATION I$ PROPOSED Japanese Would be Excluded In New Plan of Committee ¥ Washington, Feb. 7.—Exclusion of Japanese immigrants and:a re- duction in the percentage of aliens admissable from European coun- tries would be provided for by sections of a proposed permanent immigration restriction act ap- proved by the house immigration committee. Completion of the en- tire measure within a day or two and a prompt report to the house is the committee’s plan. Japanese exclusion would be made possibie, it was explained, under a general provision of the bill, which sets forth that “an im- migrant not eligible to citizenship shall not be admitted to the Unit- ed States.” To meet treaty stipu- lations exceptions would be made in the cases of ministers of. the Gospel, professors or colleges, members cf any “learned profes- son” and “bona fide students” who seek to enter the United States solely for the purpose of study at an educational institution parti- cularly designated by them. Such students who married after enter- ing the country would be deport- ed, however. As affecting Europe and the near east the bill would reduce the quctas of immigrants from any one country in any one year to four hundred and in addition two persons of the number of for- eign born individuals of such na- tionality resident in the United States as determined by the 1890 census. The present restriction act, which this bill would replace and which expires by limitation on June 30, 1924, places the quotas at three percent, based on the census of 1910. The number of immigrants who would be admissible in any one year under this provision is esti- mated at 186,437 as against the 358,837 annually under the present act, but actually the 186,437 total probably would be greatly exceed- ed through the operation of gen- eral provisions designed to avoid division of families. iH REMOVAL OF. GIRLS FROM SCHOOL URGED Report of Investigation pf Mandan Training School Is Submitted pls ! ‘ Recommendations tMat the giris, delinquents, and the dependents, both boys and girls, now inmates of the State Trai school at Mandan “be moved to some other established state institution. said institution to be the one deemed most feasible under present condi- tions,” and that no appropriation for new buildings at the present locatiqn at the .present time be made by the legislature, were the chief points in the report of the special joint investigating commit- tee of the house and senate which was named early in the session to make an inquiry as: to the future conduct of the Mandan institution. The report was filed in both the house and the senate this afternoon by the members of the committee. It was anticipated, however, in the senate by the introduction Tuesday of a measure by Senator W. H. Porter of Cavalier county which in effect authorizes the state board of administration at its option and such time as it deems proper ‘to remove the girls and the juvenile dependents to the buildings now used by the State School of For- estry at Bottineau, there to create a new institution for the care of delinquent girls and practically an orphanage for the dependent mates ‘who aré “able'to do farm work. In view ‘of the fact that: Such a small part of the land own- ed by the institution is capable of cultivation, we would recommend that more tillable land should be secured at once and that appro- priation be provided therefore. “If the above action (removing girls to Bottineau) is taken, we would recommend that there be no appropriation for new buildings at the present location at this time. “We would recommend that the girls in this institution receive in- struction along the lines of domes- tic science, especially work ~ in plain sewing, that the boys be given courses in manual trajning, ete.” SHIPS CRASH ATSEA: HOPE 10 SAVE ALL Honolulu Vessel © With ,200 Passengers Strike Motor- Driven Boat San Francisco, Feb. 7.—Four hours after the passenger liner Wilhelmina collided with the wooden motor ship Sierra at sea, about 20 miles from San Francisco, at 4:50 d’clock this morning, the crew of the Sierra had taken to life-boats while the Wil- helmina was not in trouble and had suffered little damage. The coast guard cutter Shawnee was expected to reach the vessel first and another yessel from San Fran- cisco was making top speed toward the scene. Shipping men thought the crew of the Sierra would be saved. The Wilhelmiha, inbound from Honolulu, was. thought to carry 20u or more passengers though an accur- ate check of the list could not be made this morning. INSURANCE BY STATE 10 BE URGED IN MINN.

George Wélls, state insurance commission- er, is drafting the bill. The state nas approximately $40.- 000,000 worth of property on which thé insurance premium if insured by private companies, would be about $200,000 annually. It is esti- tiated that if the state conducted its own insurance business it could save 40 percent of the premium. The bill will call for an appro- priation of $150,000 a year for in- surance, . A‘measure to make the primary election seven weeks in advance of the general election was advanced to the calendar, The house passed a bill providing for appointment of at least one wo- man to the industrial commission, by a vote of 68 to 50. Representatives Samec, Mauritz, Bernard and Bowers are authors of a bill to abolish the pregent prac- tice of charging a fee for obtaining employment for anyone. In essence, the bill would virtually eliminate employment agencies operated for profit. The senate committee on public heajth and welfare recommended for passage a bill providing more stringent regulations for dance halls. MINOT POLICE WAR ON ‘DOPE? juveniles. The Porter , measure ‘would require all of the costs in- cident to the moving be paid from the maintenance fund of the State Training school.

It sets forth that there are in the school 137 boys and 43 girls, in- cluding 44 bovs from 7 to 14 years of age and 87 from 14 to 21. The committee “found the girl’s home badly crowded and in a very un- safe condition because of lack of fire escapes and the building badly in need of repair.” “The home for the larger boys overcrowded, also badly in need of repairs to put it in a sanitary con- diton; the home for smaller bovs over crowded, but in better condi- tion. ‘Barns in first class condition but horses showed lack of proper care; poultry house in delapidated condition and in need of immediate and | attention; new boiler room in good condition, also superintendent’s home.
