h WEATHER FORECASTS For Bismarck and vicinity. Part- ly cloudy. tonight and Sunday, So Quoted By Police Officer Who Is Put on Stand Dur- ing the Hearing DARROW. IN ACTION Lawyer Cross - Examines Po- lice Officer on “Friendly: Judge” Statement Chicago, July 26.—Insinuating that the state’s testimony which credited Nathan Leopold Jr. with a desire to plead guilty before a “friendly judge” was a fabrication, Clarence Darrow, chief counsel! for Leopold and Richard Loeb, struck hard today at this evidence. It was the first time since the boys pleaded guilty to the kidnap- irg and murder of Robert Franks that their counsel had challenged the truth cf any material fact brought out.by the witnesses sum- nioned by Robert E. Crowe, states attorney. For the first time since the open- ing of the hearing on Wednesday, which is to fix the penalty for the youthful Slayers of Franks, a state witness was cross-examined at length by the defense. Detective Sergeant James Gort- land, who yesterday told of con- versations with Leopold in which the college student defendant, re- vealed his reaction to the crime he confessed, was stubbornly cross- examined by Attorney Darrow as to the style of his notes and his experience as a police examiner. The action’cf the defense was in the nature of a challenge of the testimony of Gortland, in which virtually every statement in chief was examined in the most minute detail. It was Gortland who, yesterday as the state’s 67th witness before Chief Justice John R. Caverly of the criminal court, who quoted Leopold as having declared murder to be no crime in his code. Add Two Alienists As the fourth day’s session be- gan it was learned that the defense had added to its staff of alienists. two eastern experts noted for their work in juvenile delinquency. The witness was asked to read textually his short-hand notes on thy statement that if he.decided he would prefer life imprisonment to the gallows, he would “plead guil- ty before a friendly judge.” For a considerable time there- after, the cross-examination cent. ered on the friendly judge conver- sation. Several times during his ques- tioning of the witness Mr. Darrow conferred with his associate coun- sel, Benjamin Bachrach, and the boy defendants “listened in” on these whispered consultations. After an hour’s cross-examina- tion Gortland was temporarily withdrawn from the witness stand and ordered not to converse with anyone in the courtroom while Ja- cob Weinstein, general manager of an optical establishment, was called by the state to identify the glasses found near the railroad culvert which yielded Franks’ body. The sudden switching of witness- es was agreed on by counsel as an accommodation to Mr. Weinstein, who was waiting in the witness room, Identifies Glasges Weinstein identified the glasses presented by the state.as corres- ponding to the identification called for “on a jicb envelope,” on which pppeared the name of Nathan Leo- pold Jr. “Now, Mr. Officer,” Mr. Darrow, concluded in cross examining Gortland, after he resumed the stand, “Don’t you’ know this story of your talk about a friendly judge is a>pure fabrication for the pur- pose of intimidating the court.” “It is not,” was the response, —_ -—_________@ Weather Report | SS ae. 4 For 24 hours ending at noor: Temperature at 7 a. m.

Notwithstanding the weekend holi- day the leading representatives of the allied governments here did not relax their endless toil to break the deadlock which has assumed such serious proportions, An acceptable compromise, it was said, would still allow the French to maintain their rights under the Versailles treaty and at the same ime provide such guarantees that financiers. could still offer the Ger- man bonds to investors with assur- ances of perfect safety. Despite the delay, the atmosphere of the conference negotiations is not altogether pessimistic. A British official said the technical work of the conference had been accomplish- ed and that ‘the conferees were ready for the’ nest: plenary. session next Monday ‘afternoon at 4 o'clock. This is takenSby many to indicate that an agreement between delegates from France*and bankers is impend- ing. Three Problems Left Only three problems remain to be dealt with. The first is the all- important one of reconciling the bankers to the conference experts’ proposed method of deabing with German violations of the Dawes plan. The second is a minor ques- tion of railroad control in the Ruhr and the third is the question of Ger- man representation at the confer- ence. . It is expected Berlin will be re- quested immediately to send dele- gates to London. It is increasingly evident the British and French premiers do not intend to give way entirely to the demands of the fin- anciers who would float the German loan. It is believed it would be political suicide for either premier to do so, LaMoure County Will Wage War On Sow Thistles Fargo, July 26,—Deputy weed com- missioners have been appointed in. every township in the county by the LaMoure county board of commis- sioners in their intensive war against the sow. thistle pest, according to County Extension Agent, H.

D. State Employment Director Kitchen Plans For Open- ing of Labor Offices EXPECTS ENOUGH MEN Sees Failure of © Canadian Crop as a Boon to State Farmers in Hiring Men ‘Twelve thousand farm laborers will be needed for harvest work in North Dakota, in addition’ to those al- ready here, it is estimated by Com- missioner of Agriculture J, A. Kit- chen, in charge of employment ser- {vice in the state, following his re- turn from a trip during which he made’ arrangements for the opening of free employment offices in the state August 1, Conditions are favorable for North Dakota obtaining plenty of harvest help, Mr. Kitchen said. The drouth and: hot winds in Canada have caused many laborers who had planned to go there to turn to North Dakota, where there is prospects of a fine crop, he said, and the advertising of North Dakota’s good crop has al- so brought many loborers into the state already. Fields will be more free from weeds than usual, and the grain will be easy to handle, he said. The reduction in grain acreage and the increase in corn, in sweet clover and other crops will render less pressing the need for harvest labor, making the harvest longer, he said. J. S. Williams, federal director of employment in Minnesota and & mem- ber of the state industrial com- on of that state, has agreed to handle the job of securing laborers for North Dakota through informing them of the specidl low railroad rates effective July 26. Mr. Williams seeks information ‘as to the needs of various communities, he said. Labor offices will open in the state August 1, in addition to the Fargo oltice, as follows: Minot, in charge “fot Obyde Nelson; Brocopp; Devils Lake, Oliver Geno; Grand Forks, G. C.

Davis, Democratic pres- idential nominee. In giving voice to this belief here ir. Davis made his first declara- tion of policy since his nomination, but he was only reiterating a state- ment to the American Bar associ- ation more than a year ago at the time he was president of that or- ganization. “TI said that and I still say it,” Mr. Davis declared in reply to questions as to whether he ha made such a statement. “I believe with John Hay, the forefathers in their wisdom fixed it so that the kickers could rule. If I had my way the kickers would not be able to by I rule. 4 “Treaties had been ratified in the ame way that laws are made. One strikes at the vitals of the gov- ernment no more than the other. I do not know of any other civilized government’ that requires more than a majority, and I do not see why it should be required in this country.” Asked if his acceptance address would disagree with the party plat- form, especially with reference to the plank proposing a referendum on the League of Nations, Mr. Davis said it would not “dissent from it.” Mr. Davis. will. leave here next Thursday returning to New York.

HOME TOWN OF INMATE BACKS FREEDOM PLEA Roland Gans, Sentenced For 20 Years For Auto Theft, . Bo Seek Liberty... BOARD IS INTERESTED The state board of pardons, when it meets in a special session next Tuesday, will consider the applica- tion of Roland Gans, aged 26, sen- tenced to prison in Fargo last Feb- ruary 7 for 20 years for automobile theft, for a parole. The Gans case, quite different from most parole cases, originated largely through the efforts of Judge H. A. Bronson, a member of the board. An application had been pre- pared by Gans before the last ses- sion, but it was filed too late, and Judge Bronson suggested, after in- vestigating the case, that Gans file a new application. Gans pleaded guilty to automobile theft after he and Charles Mauer were caught in a stolen automobile in Cass county, according to pardon board records. Gans was sentenced to serve 20 years by Judge Cole, but Mauer has not been tried, being out on bond of $5,000, the records here show. Gans appeared to be a clean young man, and attracted the attention of Judge Bronson. He is declared to have an excellent prison record. Correspondence with people in Gan’s home city of Joliet, Wlinois, has brought strong pleas for him. He is, according to information from there, a graduate of the Joliet Conse tory of Music, a high class musi and of respectable family of Two or three of these writing to the pardon board declare their be- lief that he is of excllent character. “This young man was born and raised in our city and I have known him ever since childhood, as well as his parents, who are respectable law-abiding citizens,” wrote Mayor George F. Sehring. “This yong man’s vocation is Pro- ic, and I can vouch for his ability as he was an instruc- tor of my daughter for a long while. “I know that there is not a wrong motive in this young man’s charact- nd I am convinced that he is a victim of circumstance. “Trusting you will be influential enough to obtain this young man’s freedom and put him back in the ranks of a good citizen, I am——” L. M. Rubens member of the fire and police board of Joliet, wrote for the young man, as did the police magistrate, probate judge and others, and three jobs were offered hith on his return to Joliet, one by a real eitate firm, one as a musi- cian and one by an automobile com- pany.

According to the minister’s dis- patches, the Persian youth tore a veil worn by Mrs. Imbrie, attempt- ing to tear it from her and at the same time expectorating upon her person. The reported outrage was said to have occurred at Teheran last Tuesday. The native reported to have been some distance away from the place where Mrs. \mbrie was at- young tacked but who it believed to have witnessed the attack made no at- tempt to interfere or capture the sailant, the dispatch said. COUNTY VOTES $11,000 FUND FOR FAIR HERE County Commissioners Pass Budget, Including This Appropriation In It MANY ASKED FOR IT Prominent Citizens Appear Before Board to Request This Action County commissioners of Bur leigh county, in session today com: pleting their budget for the en- suing year, adopted the budget with a half-mill levy, estimated to yield $11,000, included in it for a Burleigh county corn and dairy show and fair. The action of the commissioners confirmed the tentative provision for this amount.in the budget, made some days ago. Yesterday was the time set for hearing on the budget, when taxpayers might ap- pear and protest or offer sugges- tions. Several local business men interested in the fair appeared be- fore the board and asked that the appropriation. be granted, so that a fair association might be organ- ized here. Strong representations were made to the commissioners that public opinion throughout the coun- ty, as sounded in newspaper inter- views and personal conversations of those appearing, was for the fair. Make Big Cut The budget as finally adopted carried a total of $189,000, includ- ing about $21,000 sinking and in- terest fund. The estimated reduc- tion in the budget over last year by the county auditor was about $50,000, almost a 25 percent reduc- tion in the estimate of expenses of was accomplished by marked slash- es in many proposed expenditures by the commissioners, Yesterday $25,000 was cut off the road fund appropriation. Among those who appeared be- fore the board in connection with budget matters was F. W. Pusch, tax expert for the Northern Pa- cific Railway. GIRL TARRED, FEATHERED Charged With Receiving At- tentions of Marrjed Man Frederick, Md., July 26.—Mrs. Lloyd Shank, wife cf a farmer, was under liberty today on a $2,000 bond on a technical charge of as- sault and battery growing out of the tarring and feathering of Miss Dorothy Grandon, 20 years old, near Myersville, Thursday night. Eight men also involved in the affair likewise were at liberty un- der similar bonds. Miss Grandon was held in jail in default of $500 bond as a material witness. Those arrested were a part of about 50 men alleged to have com- posed the mob that participated in tarring and . feathering of the Grandon girl who had been accused by Mrs. Shank of receiving the ,attentions of her husband.
