There will be three bands in the parade and many uniformed men. However, the program will be car- ried out as a demonstration of the willingness and ability of citizens to rally to the defense of their coun- try, and very little of a militaristic nature will be found in the arrange- ments. Bismarck citizens will be joined by many from outside the city. Dris- coll, Sterling and Wilton all have reported that automobile loads of men will come to the city for the parade. All Asked in Parade All fraternal orders of the city have urged members to participate in the parade. However, they will not march as orders. The old draft ‘board will be stationed at Washing- ton and Broadway, and,men report- ing will be quickly assigned to the various reserve units, and march with them. This will be done quickly, and without any “red tape” but will feature of the last effort to raise men. Disabled Veterans and mem- bers of some other will be in automobiles; others will march.

Mr. Halvorson will be followed in the field by other Independent can- didates for state office, and a live- ly speaking campaign will be con- ducted until the time of the Novem- ber election, the campaign commit- tee announced. Members of the committee were joined in conference here by Mr. Halvorson, Attorney- General George F. Shafer and oth- ers, Campaign headquarters will be es- tablished in Fargo within a few days by V. A. Corbett of Minot, cam- paign manager, it was decided. Of- ficers of the campaign committee were named as follows: Chairman H. P. Goddard, Bismarck; secretary, Charles Simon, Bismarck; treasurer, Horace Young, Fargo. Corbett’s Views Mr. Corbett was optimistic over the interest shown in the Independ- ent campaign since the selection of Mr. Halvorson to head the ticket here recently. “There is a revival of the old fighting spirit of the Independents [that won for us before,” he said. “The sentiment generally among the The physicians und surgeons held closely to their program revolving around the discussions of specialists in various diseases. The association probably will take no action upon any legislative questions, and Dr. James Grassick president, said, he had not named a resolutions committee this morning to present matters of gen- eral interest before the body. Election of officers and selection of the next place of meeting was scheduled for this afternoon. More than 100 physicians and sur- geons attended the banquet held last night at the McKenzie Hotel. Dr. V. J. LaRose and Dr. W. H. Boden- stab of Bismarck acted as joint toastmasters. C. L. Young of this city delivered an address on “Some of the Medico-Legal Phases of the Practice of Medicine” and eight out- of-state specialists here for the con- vention made one-minute talks. The physicians and surgeons, who are devoting almost their entire conven- tion to serious discussions, took a short time ‘off for the play after the banquet, a vaudeville show being held in Patterson Hall. The vaude- ville acts weer obtained from Chi- cago. “Bat” Krause forced “Buch” Garrison to quit in the sixth round of the boxing match, Garrison taking the count. IN CIVIL WAR Desperate Attempts Being Made by Kiangsu Generals To Check Advance Shanghai, China, Sept. 11.—(By the A. P.)—Desperate attempts of the Kiangsu generals to cheek the advance of*Chekiang troops upon Thing, a town about 100 miles to the westward of Shanghai, near Taih Lake took the bulk of interest in China's civil war away from the nearby bat- tle front today. Qn the west (Taihu Lake) front Chekiang troops were reported by their headquarters at Kungwha, south of here, to have made good progress through the hilly country south of Thing. High hopes were expressed of the possibility of their striking across the lake or to the northward and cutting the Shanghai- Nanking Railway lines as well as gaining control of the Grand Canal. This would have the effect of cut- ting of supplies of all kinds from the Kiangsu army which have thus far failed to open another door for supplies at Liuho and who would be pinned between two hostile armies.

The Highway department, the bul- letin says, has complete testing equipment and can correctly analyze all samples sent in. By taking ad- vantage of this free service the farmer can assure himself of the exact worth of his product. “This free service,” says the bul- letin, “will, no doubt, explain to many why gravel or sand taken from certain pits does not hold up when used in concrete, or doesn’t pack right when used on highways.” The testing plant for gravel is a new thing in North Dakota, and it is expected that it will prove invalu- able in the effect for the better which it will have on work in which, previously, poorer grades of gravel have, unknowingly, used. | Previously gravel has been used on a hit or miss basis. It was used and if it was good material, well and good. If it happened to be poor stock the work had to be re-done. With the inauguration of the tes ing laboratory this condition is changed. Now no gravel can be used, at least in road work, which doesn’t pass all tests. ‘ Independent workers is that the fusion ticket can be put over if all workers will put their shoulder to the wheel and get the voters out. The last election was won by ‘the voters that did not go to the polls, thousands of Independents not vot ing because of over-confidence. “There also is a realization amony Independent workers that to let any election go by default would be to sacrifice ull they had fought for and gained in the last six years in the state. I believe the major favor continuing the construct! program of the Independents in state affairs, and do not want to endanger the credit and good name of the state again by permitting it to be turned over again to a wasteful and expensive socialistic program. “The action of A. G. Sorlie, the Nonpartisan League candidate, in finally taking stand in national poli- ties for Robert M. LaFollette makes it impossible for him to further deceive the Independent voters, and it makes it plain that the political battle in state affairs is purely one between forces favoring the con structive Independent program or the socialistic Nonpartisan League program.” Reports ‘on Threshing Andrew Sauer, proprietor of the Hillside Dairy Farm near Washburn, was here yesterday with Edna, Mil- ton and George Sauer and Miss Em- ma Falstaed. Mr. Sauer reported he had threshed 23 busehls of wheat to the acre, 47 bushels of oats, 40 of speltz and 40 of barley. Mr. Sauer's chief business is breeding pure bred Holstein cattle.

The first of the fifteen million se- The first of the fifteen million se- cret ballots are in the mail. The balance will soon be dispatched at the rate of about a million per day. .| This means that within the next three weeks the ballots will be in the hands’ of over one-half of the number of voters at the last quad- rennial election. The first returns will be published September 20, The results of this gigantic ref- erendum will be an index of the of- ficial outcome and, as such, a valu- able aid in your local political prog- nostications, as the vote will be tab- ulated by States. To that end I think it will be of benefit all around if you will kindly urge those of your clientele who have received ballots to mark and mail them at once in order to reveal early the political trend in your State.

FERGUSON IS TARGET IN| LEGAL BATTLE Right of Texas Woman To Become Governor Is De- nied in Suit Filed Austin, Tex., Sept. 11—The in- junction suit filed here yesterday to prevent the name of Mrs, Miriam Ferguson, Democratic gubernatorial nominee, from going on the ballot, charges that James E. Ferguson, who is debarred from holding office, is ‘the real candidate, the petition to- day revealed. If Mrs, Ferguson’s name is not kept off the ballot as requested in the suit filed against the county judge, county clerk und sheriff of every county in the state, the peti- tion says Ferguson will be elected Governor in the name of his wife, thereby circumventing the judgment of impeachment and disqualification against him. Another proposition presented by the petition is that, according to a common law, which was adopted in Texas in 1840, a woman, especially a married woman, was ineligible to hold any executive or judicial office and that no such right has been con- ferred by the statute of the Consti- tution, WOULD OUST STANDARD OIL Motion Is Filed in Supreme Court in Missouri Jefferson City, Mo.

Prison gi waited all last night in anticipation of their com- ing while Warden Whitman’ had left orders to be called if they were ‘brought here during the night. The cells which they will occupy their first day in prison are those to which all the new prisoners are taken and are termed “solitary court” or detention quarters for in- coming prisoners. When their automobile draws up to the entrance to the penitentiary !they will be hustled to the entrance |and will be stopped at an iron gate. When they pass through this iron | gate they will enter into the custody ;of the prison. Inside the gates the record clerk will receive sheriff of Cook coutny two uve ever entered the walls of the old building and will give to the sheriff a receipt for the youths.

The boys will proceed to the Ber- tillon bureau for identifi measurements and there they receive their first prison suits, sec-. ond hand shirts, shoes and stock- ‘ings used for the incoming prison- ers. Then will come “court solitary” where they will be kept in separate cells their first night in prison. To- morrow they will be assigned reg- ular cells and work, will face the examination and will be: given a lecture on prison rules, being can- tioned particularly about silence in mess halls, cha marching. While at work they may talk and while in their cells they may talk to cell mates. Warden Whitman said the youths would not be confined in the same cells or even in the same section of the prison. They may see one an- other while marching or in mess halls but probably will not have an opportunity to converse for years. Cell mates will not be awarded to the slayers at once. The youths wil} be assigned man- ual labor at the beginning, despite their university education, Warden Whitman indicated. Office work is reserved as a reward for good be- havior and a new man seldom lands such work at the start. 1 Placed in Grade C | All prisoners entering Joliet are | placed in grade C.

Today’s menu ‘consisted of vegetable soup, short ribs, potatoes and bread, while for supper the prisoners will eat hot |biscuits, apple sauce, bread, syrup jand peas. Prisoners may buy to- jbaceo, gum and candy but the only \time they will have an opportunity to eat food prepared outside the prison is on visitors’ day. They may receive a visitor once in two weeks and if the prisoner eats food they may have an opportunity to eat it during the half hour of visit. 1 Leopold will have no opportunity to write the book with which he had expressed his intention to oc- cupy his prison time, Warden Whit- man said. Once a week each prison- er may write one letter. This is the extent of their writing. They may receive unlimited mail but all of it is censored.

The 19-year-old youths who con- fessed they killed “to get a thrill” amused themselves by playing cards pending the start for Joliet which, it appeared, would not be before 2 or 3 p.m. Sheriff Hoffman, in disclos- ing the latest threat, a repetition of many others, made by cranks, said it was about 11:30 p. m. when he re- ceived the anonymous telephone call n of telling him that the jail was to be the most celebrated prisoners who} blown up.

In the second car Loeb and Leopold would ride with four armed guards. Another contingent of guards with buckshot charged guns would bring up the rear. In the meantime the sheriff had guards doubled in the alley at the rear of the jail yard. A crowd .of about 500 curious persons gathered outside the entrance to the jail but police details kept them moving. Sleep Soundly Loeb and Leopold slept soundly all night and had to be awakened by guards at breakfast time. “Its all over now; we just hope it doesn’t rain any more,” was all they had to say in response to quer prison physician and psychiatrist for | ies by reporters who, along with the guards, had remained night. “We hope we have a nice trip to the boys said, in explanation for their desire for bet- ter weather. “Well, you will soon be rid of us now,” both told the night jailer. “Yes, and I'll be darned glad of it.
