Walsh Raps Re- peatedly For Order, But Fails in Effort to Quiet Mob ALTERNATIVE PROPOSALS New York, June 26.—A tenta- tive draft of the Democratic platform as containing alterna- tive proposals on the Ku Klux Klan and the League of Nations was submitted to the resolutions committee today. It was prepared by Chairman Homer S$. Cummings and Sen- ator Keyes Pittman of Nevada, on the basis of discussions which continued before the sub- committee until early this morn- ing. ‘The committee hoped to con- clude its work before night and it is planned to finish the draft before tonight. It was hoped to have the plat- form ready for consideration by the convention tomorrow. Whe- ther there will be a fight on floor over the Klan and League of Nations views depended, lead- ers said, onthe action on those two questions by the full com- mittee. Madison Square Garden, New York, June 26.—Having given a renewed but brief demonstration for William G. McAdoo, the Democratic national convention plunged into a rip-roar- ing demonstration for Alfred Smith, Like the principal demonstration of yesterday, the Smith demonstra- tion was aided and pushed by a complete organization of demonstra- tions, hundreds of whom marched in the halls from the outside bearing banners and noise-making devices. Galleries and guest sections, obvi- ously filled with friends of the New York Governor for today’s events, Jet out a continuous series of yells, howls and whistles, Racket Breaks Loose No sooner had Franklin D. Roose- velt finished his speech placing the \yew York Governor in nomination an the racket broke loose. Bands, rooters armed with megaphones, cheer leaders and others, with all the equipment of professional dem- onstrators started a procession through the hall. From points of observation on the speaker’s stand it appeared that probably half the delegation was taking part in the demonstration either by joining the marching party or by stunding on chairs and waving flags. The other sections of the delegates apparently were interested in look- ing over the show, stood up, too, but gave no evidence of joining the Smith demonstration. Use Many Devices In the demonstration about every device seen before and many new ones appeared. Some were dressed as ragamuffins, others as newsies, all of them had automobile license tags hung around their necks bear- ing the words “Al Smith.” The fathers who presumably had rented the ,children out for the oc- easion tried to balance some of them on the high rail about the speaker's stand, 15 feet above the floor, with the result that the youngsters were scared and bellowed lustily. After some experiments the children were removed. Although state standards were carried into the procession the del- fgates sections remained well filled hile it was going on.

MOFFET, FORMER LOCAL MAN, HONORED Given Citation For Bravery During the Mexican Puni- tive Expedition TRANSFERRED TO TEXAS Lieut. Col. W. P. Moffet, a former resident of Bismarck, and who has just been relieved as professor of military science and tactics at Cre- tin High School, St. Paul, nd order- ed to Houston, Tex Ss executive officer of the 438th Field artillery, ee received notice from the War lcpartment of a citation for gallan- try in action in the Mexican punt. tive expedition of 1916 led by Gen- eral Pershing. All recommendations for citations made at that time were held in abeyance during the World war and have just been acted on by the War department. Col. Moffet was at one time the editor of the Bismarck Sceptre. He was Captain of Company “A” at the time of the Spanish-American War and made a fine record during that conflict. After the war he took up newspaper work for a time here, and then went into the regular army. The act for which Colonel Moffev is authoried to wear the silver star on his Mexican service ribbon was the leading of a spirited cavalry charge against the forces of Villa. The citation says: P. Moffet, lieutenant ‘cavalry, United States army, then ‘captain, Seventh cavalry, Unit- ed States army, for gallantry in ac- tion against Villas forces. at Tomo- chic Mexico, April 22, 1916,” The commendation for citation sent to the War department after the return of the punitive expedi- tion by Colonel George A. Dodd, commanding the Second cavalry bri- gade, whose surprise march of 120 iniles in Mexico in. forty-six hours total time is considered by army men one of the most remarkable marches in the history of cavalry, read as follows: “For coolness and, gallantry in. ac- and crook on the floor, made the! tion in the fight with Cervantes bulk of the noise and at times act- ually drowned out the band.

KIWANIANS TO CONTINUE AID ON FIRST PLAN Aid For Under - Privileged Child Will Be Stressed Dur- ing the Coming Year LOCAL MEN ' RETURN Kiwanis clubs of the United States and Canada will continue to stress aid to the under-privileged child, according to local Kiwanians, whb have returned from the Kiwanis In- ternational convention at Denver, Colorado. Eric Thorberg and Worth Lumry represented Bismarck at the convention. In addition to emphasizing this first tenant of the organization in welfare work, the international or- ganization urged stress upon promot- ing a friendly feeling between cities and the country, and developing mu- tual aid in this respect, according to the local delegates. The Minnesota-North Dakota dis- trict was represented by about 250 delegates at the convention. Valley City carried off the honors for the district, winning third place in the efficiency contest, in its class. St. Paul was voted the 1925 convention, an action pleasing to the Northwest delegates, ‘ The Kiwanis International has grown rapidly, according to reports made at the convention. There are now 1,257 clubs in the United States and Canada, with a membership of 90,000. The Denver convéntion was at- tended by about 6,000 delegates, and a royal time was shown the visitors, Mr. Thorberg and Mr, Lumry report- ed. Among the speakers were Hon- orable R. J. Manion member of par- liament, Fort William, Canada; Clyde Dawson, “representing the United States Chamber of Com- merce; and Roe Fulkerson, editor of the Kiwanis magazine. EXPULSION 1S ANNULLED Coblenz, Germany, June 26—The Rhineland Commission on the pro- posals of the French members to- day annulled the expulsions of more than 7,000 French from the occupied territory. These with their families number about 30,000 persons. The total number of persons expelled by the allies from the Ruhr and Rhineland is about 150,000. Radio is still unknown in Sicely. BANDITS KILL | POLICEMAN AT DEVILS LAKE Charles Sneesby is Killed) While Trying to Prevent Postoffice Robbery IN COLD BLOOD OT Indications Are He Entered Building Cautiously to Surprise Robbers Devils Lake, June 26.— Charles Sneesby, night patrolman here, was shot and almost instantly killed today when he surprised four men attempting to rob the postoffice. His assailants escaped in an automobile. Making his usual rounds about 11:45 a. m., Sneesby passed the large postoffice building, which stands somewhat detached from other business buildings. Authort- ties believe he saw the light used Ly the men and sought to surprise them. Indications are that as he enter- ed the building cautiously, he was shot down in cold blood, for the revolver shot that ended ‘his life was fired at close range, powder markg peppering his face near the point where the bullet entered his head, just above the nose. Chief Heard Shots Two blocks away, Chief of Police G. Timboe heard two shots as he sat in hig office. He thought they were firecrackers, he gaid, and paid no attention to them, until a :pass- erby, who had found the dying pa- trolman, rushed into the chief’s office. A large touring car was used by the four men in making their get- away. Two youths named Rankin and Ferrell were sitting on the porch of the former’s home short- ly before 1 a. m. when they saw four men rush out of the alley ‘back of the postoffice building and leap iuto a touring car standing at the curb. At about the same time, Russell Miller, 18 years old, employed in a restaurant here, was en route home in his small roadster when he saw the body of Sneesby lying on the floor of the ipostoffice lobby, just inside the door. Recognizing the form as that of a man, he hurried to Chief Tim- bee's office, and the police official and several other residents rushed to the place. SIX BOYS ARE BEING HELD ON FRAUD CHARGE Tried to Emulate Loeb and; Leopold, in Blackmailing, Chicago Police Say early Chicago, June 26,—Six boys, rang- ing in age, from 12 to 16, are in jail facing charges of attempting extortion as a result, police say, of their endeavors to emulate Nathan Leopold, and Richard Loeb, con- fessed kidnapers-slayers, of the Frank schoolboy. The same motives, authorities be- lieve, actuated the extortion letters being sent to wealthy Chicago fam- ilies. The boys are Edward Krug, his brother Henry, 15, and Elmer Olsen, 16, a decoy package left at an appointed rendezvous by John Borner, a cement worker from whom they demanded $50.00 in a letter turned over to the police. Three other boys, arrested after the attempts ‘to extort $8,000 from Jacob Frank, father of Robert, who they hoped would be easily fright- ened, after his son’s death, and ac- cede to their demands, when they threatened his daughter’s life. 12, Charges involving _ penitentiary sentences, may, be filed against them. JAIL STRIKE AT STANLEY ENDED Stanley, N. D., June 26.—Obsti- nate prisoners in the county jail here who refused to work at the direction of the sheriff, soon lost their contentious attitude when Judge John C. Lowe of the district ordered them placed in solitary con- finement with bread and water as their food. The “organization” which had been perfected by the prison- ers was soon disorganized as a con- sequence of Judge Lowe's order. On- account of the crowded condi- tion of the jail, the sheriff is using & cook car to feed the “jail” crew which is working on the courthouse grounds, leveling and putting them in condition for seeding to lawn grass. MAJORITY FOR NESTOS FALLS IN BISMARCK Sorlie Probably Carries Bur- leigh County as a Result of Slump in the City IS NOMINATED OLSON Victory Over Harrington in Close Senatorial Race Is Indicated on Returns A marked falling off in the total the city of Bismarck, and a falling off, not so great, in coun- try precincts outside of Bismarck, was noticeable in the returns from the county, with the complete city of Bismarck vote availuble and. some representative country precincts. The lead of Governor Nestos in Bismarck was 823, his vote being 1,622 to 799 for Sorlie. Two years ago, in the primary, Governor Nestos received 2,080 votes in the city to 770 for B. F, Baker. The total vote in the city in Wednesday’s primary was 2,421 us compared to 2,854 two years ago, on unofficial returns. falling off in the Nestos in vote Th majority in Bismarek, and a falling off in the first eight rural precincts the county, indicated that A.

While telephone communication — brougnt many county precincts to The ‘Tri- dune, it was apparent that many of the returns would not be available until precinct judges brought them to the city late today or tomorrow. Olson Nominated On the basis of the returns avau- able, Obert A. Olson was nominated state senator on the Republican tics ket in Burleigh county, probably by 100 to votes, over P. G. Har- rington, indorsed by the Independ- ents. Harrington had a lead in the city of Bismarck of 345 over Olson d task still as compared to the larger Nestos majority of 823, and the vote of Julius Meyer, the third candidate, appeared to cut both ways in the county.

There was much interest in the race for county treasurer, in which Gilbert Haugen and Gerald Rich- holt assumed the lead. Richholt was | shead of the field of eight in Bis- marek, having 720 votes, with Haug- en second with 478 votes. For States Attorney, the city of Bismarck gave Allen 743, Smith 520, McCurdy 863. : For Congress Here For Congress, in the city of Bis- marck, Thomas Hall took the lead, getting 1,486 votes to 505 for Sher- man and 461 for Williams.

E, Shipley fell behind a little in the city, some votes being deflected to 0. A.

Fisk were out ahead for the supreme court in the city of Bismarck. QUAKE SHOCK IS RECORDED Los Angeles, June 26.—An earth- quake of approximately the same vi- olence as the Japanese quake of last September, centering probably in central America, and continuing for more than an hour and a half was recorded in the seismograph of the University of Santa Clara last night.

Governor Nestos, when 1,050 of the state’s 2,160 pre- cinets had been heard from, had 47,301 votes to 35: 373 for ; A. Se Sorlie, indorsed by the Nonpartisan League, and 3,515 for I. J. Moe of Valley City, the third candidate. a lead for Nestos of 11,928. With 1,110 precincts reported it would be necessary for Sorlie to gain slightly more than 10 votes a precinct in order to pass the Governor in the race. Nonpartisan League can- didates have done this in the past. The uncertainty of the situation rested in the light vote in the state, and the possibility that a light rural vote in the western one-third of the state, strong League territory as a rule, would fail to cut down the majority of the Inde- pendent candidate as it has done in past elections, or that there had been a change in sentiment with resultant gain to Nestos. The vote fluctuated in the tabulation as is evidenced from the following comparison at various stages today: 677 precincts—Nestos lead 11,868. 771 precincts—Nestos lead 9,397. 847 precincts—Nestos lead 9,905. 1,050 precincts—Nestos lead 11,928. The fluctuation is caused by the addition of votes fram remaining precincts in cities, or from territory very one« sided in its expression. Political leaders refused to make any prediction on the final outcome late this afternoon, and observers who have watched the trend of the vote in North Dakota in the last four or five years took the position that it would be unwise to make any prediction. Earlier in the day the Sorlie sup- porters were very jubilant, and expressed belief that their candidate would win by Several thousand votes. If the re- maining vote should come in as in some past elections, it is more than probable that he will win. The total vote is light. In 1922, in the primary, there were 176,032 votes cast for Nestos and Baker. In this pri- mary, almost one-half the percincts in, the total vote was 82,674, and it is probable that this represents considerably more than half the vote. It is not believed that more than 150,00 votes were cast. In 1920, in the gubernatorial race between Frazier and O’Connor, almost 230,000 votes were cast in North Dakota. MISSIONARY WILL SPEAK Miss Clagett Will Discuss International : Relations This was Gains in Cities Sorlie gained considerably over the League vote of two years ago in Grand Forks and in Bismarck, and most of the cities reported a vote considerably less than normal. This plainly operated to the disad- vantage of the Independents. The others on the Independent and Nonpartisan slates ran pretty well along the same lines as Sorlie and Nestos, so that should either win by a large majority it is prob- able he would 4 carry his ticket on Friday across, but with the vote close there igi is a likelihood of a mixed ticket re- Much is being said about the feel-| sulting. ing between The United States and| Politicians were engerly seeking Japan.

Miss Clagett has had an Lean county Sorlie gained 295 votes over the League vote of two years ago then he had 982 and Nestos 499. In eight precincts outside of Bis- marck in Burleigh county Nestos had 218, Sorlie 302 und Moe 12. In 1922, in the primary, Nestos got 295 and Baker 351 ih the same precinets, This falling off in the vote oper- ated to the advantage of Sorlie. In Morton county 23 precincts re- ported, Nestos was leading by 650, and he appeared to be running well in that county. John Burke and C. J. Fisk were aut. in front for the supreme court judge- ship race; Miss Minnie Nielson had a small lead over Miss Bertha Palm- er, with G. W. Conn third, for sup- erintendent of public instruction; Thomas Hall was running strong for Congress in the Second Congressional district. Attorney-General Shafer, in some places, also ran well, going ahead of his ticket, while the presence of a third candidate for the nomination for Secretary of State in the person of O. A.

Sorlie had about broken even in Grand Forks, ‘his home county, gained over the Governor's vote in Bismarck of two years ago, and held his own in Far- gO. The result may depend on the extent of the vote in the western part of the state, always League territory. Should it prove to be very light—and some reports indi- cated it was considerably leas ny usual — Governor Nestog 9! will win out, but if it is wclane to normal, Sorlie will apparently be returned victor.
