WEATHER FORECASTS For Bismarck and vicinity: Most- ly fair tonight and Saturday. ESTABLISHED 1873 BISMARCK, NORTH DAKOTA, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, , 1924 THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE | mona PRICE FIVE CENTS $4,000 STORE LOOT RECOVERED HERE DAWES ENTERS MILWAUKEE T0 HIT RADICALS Republican , Candidate For Vice - President Attacks LaFollette in Home State “MASTER DEMAGOGUE” Dawes Does Not Mince Words in Making Strong Attack Upon Opponent Milwaukee, Wis., Sept. 12—The LaFollette ‘independent candidacy was attacked here in its recognized stronghold last night by Charles G. Dawes, Republican vicepresidential nominee, as “the quintessance of demagogism, animated by the vi- cious purpose of undermining the constitutional foundation of this Re- public.” Speaking in the Milwaukee audi- torium, Mr. Dawes declared that ‘in the mass of clap-trap ‘accompanying the LaFollette effort we can see one steady purpose always in mind--the “attack” that Mr. Dawes devoted most of his attention. The Republican nominee described Senator LaFollette as “the master demagogue”; warned against any party attempting to take a position in the half-way ground between “those who favor the constitution of the United States and those who would destroy its essential parts”; declared this division to be greatest issue of the campaign, and appealed to the voters of Wisconsin to decide the issue “by a full vote of the reg- istered voters, not by the fractional vote which, for the last four years, has been cast in Wisconsin.” Mr. Dawes said he recognized that there were in the country “many men who are just discontented, but who are patriotic at heart.” Warns Against LaFollette “They may be opposed to certain things in the existing order, but they are not opposed to the existing order of things,” he added. “I warn them that they should not be deceived by the catch-all phrases of this master demagogue, endeavoring to amalga- mate them with the socialists flying the red flag, in an ‘attack on the Constitution.” The Republican candidate combin- ed with his attack on the attitude of the LaFollette movement toward the constitution an assault on the state- ments made by Senator LaFollette in his Labor Day address. “In its strong appeal to the pre- judices and passions of the people, the speech was unusual, but in no other way,” he asserted. “Never in the history of the United States, has the common sense of the average in- dividual received a greater affront. LaFo'lette’s speech should raise the question in the minds of the Ameri- can peopie—Does he consider us a. race of fovls?’” Mr. Dawes in beginning his dis- cussion of the LaFollette movement, which he characterized as “the cul- mination of the most dangerous era of demagogism through which this country has ever passed,” quoted the declaration in the LaFollette plat- form for a constitutional amendment providing that congress might by enacting a statute make it effective over a judicial veto. Would Elevate Legislative Power “This proposition,” he asserted, “is to abrogate the principle of three- fold division of power—executive, legislative and judicial—which is the basis of our constitution, and make the executive and judicial power subordinate to the legislative power. It means that for our present form of government, we are to adopt an- other in which Congress will pre- dominate. The success of such a doctrine, which would mean that the constitution would be stripped of authority, would be disastrous and government would become the play- thing of changing political parties, with demagogues in the saddle.” The effect on the individual, Mr. Dawes told his audience, would be to place his bill of inalienable rights, evolved through centuries of strug- gle and conflict, “at the mercy of Congress” and subject these rights to‘the threats of “mob action.” “The courts of the United States,” he continued, “are the guardians of the inalienable rights of individuals, including the freedom of the press, the rights of property and religious tolerance, They interpret laws pass- ed by Congress in their relation to those rights upheld by the Constitu- tion. What kind of a government would this be if Congress had the right to pass a law taking property from one man and handing it to an- other, directing a man where he shall go to church, and undertaking to encroach upon the _ individual rights recognized by all civiliza- tion.” The present constitution govern- ment of the United States, Mr. Dawes said, provided in its system of checks and balances sufficient safeguard “to render certain that only the ultimate right and sound judgment of the people crystalizes People Must Be Rulers “The government whose policy is determined by the ultimate judgment of. the people will permanently sur- he added. “The government actions are determined by the passing phrases of popular opinion, tingul; Nf from, ultimate. opin- (Continued on” page 3) EVEN A PRINCE IS ON THE SIDELINE Mitchell Field, Long fs dropped down for a shor side of the picture, a the arrow sh (1) Lieuts.

The party had been es- pecially made up to visit places of historical interest. “The most lasting impression I re- ceived was when we stood on the “Brig o’ Doon”, and realized that Bobby Burns once stood there and looked at the same things we saw— the velvety banks, the flowering rho- dodendrum, the rippling water—and was inspired to write: ‘Ye banks and braes 0’ bonnie Doon’ ”, said Miss Palmer, who returned here yes- terday. “But the place which most impressed me with the weight of the past, was the ruins of the Forum in Rome. We saw marked with a wreath the place where Mark Antony deliv- ered his stirring agdress over the body of Julius Caesar.” History Alive “History was made very alive to us when we'stood in the stone cell where the Apostle Paul was confined; this prison adjoins the Forum. “The study of the school system in England, as we touched it iy visits to Rugby, Eton, and the universities of Cambridge and Oxford, was to me the most interesting part of the trip.” An amusing incident occurred ati one of these schools, illustrating the fact that the Engtish do not speak “American.” A member of the visit- ing group said to the instructor guid- ing them as they passed into the dining room, “Do the boys ever cue up here?” “Oh yes,” he replied “The meats; are passed through this door, and the boys do all their own carving.” Thrill Over Lakes The deep blue of the Alpine fakes —of Lake Lucerne and Lake Geneva —delighted the tourists with its beauty, and Mount Blanc and the} Jungfrau “thrilled us as it does all! who look upon them,” said Miss Pal- mer. Miss Palmer found Paris more beautiful than she had expected, while the wonderful restoration work on the battlefields of France she considered marvelous. Mias Cream, Butter “Venice we found wholly delight- ful, with its black, swanlike gondo- las, and the carless, horseless, si- lence, broken only by the voices of the gondiliers.” Miss Palmer smiled and quoted: “Oh, its sweet to dream in Venice, and its great to study Rome; but when it comes to living, there is no place like home.” When asked what sh¢ had missed most, Miss Palmer answered readily: “Cream and butter. And one has to beg for water to drink. But there are compensations.” EPIDEMIC SWEEPS JAPAN Tokio, Sept. 12.—Meningitis epi- demics, sweeping Japan, have result- | ed+in 2,630 deaths out of a total of 9,888 cases reported, according to government reports made public to- day, which placed the death rate at 45 percent..

Caverly, who . sentenced them to life imprisonment for the murder of Robert Franks in spite of the state’s demand for hanging, was right, Clarence Darrow, chief coun- sel for the defense, declared here today. Mr. Darrow, after the close of the sensational trial in Chicago, came to the summer home of Albert H. Loeb, father of Richard, here. “In five years the whole country ‘{will know that Caverly was right,” said the lawyer. “In five years Na- than Leopold will be—well, every- body will know that the insanity part of the defense was the truth. It will take a bit longer for Dick Loeb, perhaps, but it will come. Perhaps people cannot understand the matter now as I do but they will come to comprehension soon.” “Look at this place,” he added, re- ferring to the great Loeb estate and the palatial home, “and see if a sane boy could leave it. Its absurd.” LAST INTERVIEW Joliet, ll, Sept. 12—Nathan F. Leopold and Richard Loeb today told the world good-bye with a smile and started a life-time behind prison bars.

Much enthusiasm was being mani fested today, many citizens entering nto the preparations here with the same enthusiasm which marked the days of 1917,. Not only did they find it good sport to enter into the acti- vities but they were coricious of the importance .of the showing of the nation’s ability to man itself in time of need. All fraternal orders have asked that members report at the swim- ming pool, where a draft board will assign them to ,marching units. ‘Three bands will be in line and it is expected hundreds of citizens will march, The program at the Auditorium will include community singing, and brief talks by C, L, Young and At- torney-General George Shafer.

GET GOOD REPORTS Washington, Sept. 12——The nation’s defense machinery, intended for act- ual use only in the event of a war emergency, was given its first test lt da ccompanid by patriotic dem- | onstrations in every part of che ‘United States and its possessions. It was a limited test, the actual expansion plan of the War Depart- ment being designed to cover a per- iod of months but dealing only with the question of personnel and not with supply, equipment, housing or training, the progressive stages were consolidated into this one day. The day’s program calls for a trial of the decentralized defense machinery set up since the National Act of 1920 was substituted for the pre-war sys- tem. Demonstration of the success of the new scheme of defense will signalize the separation from the military estublishment at least, 80 far as active service is involved, of General John J. Pershing, who has devoted his time since 1918 to per- fecting it. When the “Defense Day” test act- ,{ually got under way toduy it was *lapparent to War Department offi- cials, after studying reports from’ outlying commanders, that their hopes had been entirely justified by the response throughout the country who through the day had reported “for duty” to the corps area com- manders and in the more local dis- |tyicts to the committees set up to function like the draft boards did during the war. BURIAL ALIVE | TS CHARGED Father Alleges Woman Was Burying Day Old Baby Lakewood, N.

The baby which Saunders said he found his wife burying Wednesday after- noon when he returned from work is recovering. Prosecutor Jayne an- nounced he would question the hus- band as to why he had not reported the affair at the time of its alleged occurrence. Saunders said taat he was away from home at work and therefore he had only sirong sus- Picions of the facts.

Bell returned to Bismarck yesterday noon, from a six weeks trip abroad. He made a short trip through England and France, re- turning through Belgium and Hol- land. Following his arrival in Mon- treal on Saturday, he spent a day with relatives in the east, then came directly home. The long motor trips through rural England and France, Mr. Bell said he had especially enjoyed. Visits were made to several of the battle fields of France, where he noted with inter- est the restoration work in the de- vastated regions, in the rebuilding of |‘; the villages. Belleau Wood, Chateau Thierry, and other fields beyond ) Rheims, were among those he visited, as well as Rheims itself. A stop was made at the grave of Quentin Roosevelt, buried where he fell in July, 1918. The Roosevelt family has erected a fountain to his memory, in the hamlet close by. England and France are filled with American tourists this year, Mr. Bell said; many were drawn te Lon- don by the Wembley exposition, which he saiq he had found extreme- ly interesting, especially the Cana- dian, Australian, and New Zealand exhibitions. “From what can bé learned in so brief a time,” saig Mr. Bell, “If woutd ‘appear that, economic and financial conditions in Europe were improv- ing.” BANDIT LEADER UNDER ARREST POLICE ASSERT Goods Stolen From Stores in Linton and Fredonia Re- covered by Officers ALSO GET AUTOMOBILE Sheriff Hedstrom and Chief of Police Martineson Re- veal Yegg Roundup J. D. Crawford, 38, declared the ting-leader, is under arrest, an au- tomobile and merchandise valued at over $4,000 have been recovered and a bandit gang which robbed stores in southern North Dakota has been broken up as a result of activity of Chief of Police C. J. .Martineson and Sheriff Albin Hedstrom, officets de- clared today. Crawford, held in jail here, will be charged with burglary, and since he had twice served in prison, he faces the prospects of a long sen- tence, officers deciare. Goods recovered were stolen chief- ly from the Linton Leader Store at Linton, Emmons county, robbed of $2,000 worth of silks and other mer- chandise on Sunday night, August 17, and from the Fredonia Cooper- ative Mercantile Company, robbed about two weeks ago of goods valued at $2,000. Automobile Recovered A Cadillac automobile identified as stolen from George Gillmore at Barton, North Dakota, August 15, 1924, was recovered when Chief Martineson arrested Crawford, the officer said today." Most of the goods recovered had been “planted” in an old granary on a farm about 10 miles south of Bismarck, and some of it was re- covered from persons in Bismarck and Mandan, and in the country, to whom it had been sold. The house of Mrs. Crawford, in Daven- port, Iowa, also was searched at the request of Chief Martineson and two bathrobes, some silks and other goods were recovered, which Daven- port police said Mrs. Crawford told them she had received from North Dakota by parcel post the latter part of August. Chief Martineson refused to die vulge the methods by which he an@ Sheriff Hedstrom and their forces built up a net work of evidence against Crawford and recovered the goods. They began work on the case just after the Linton robbery and closed it yesterday, it is understood. The evidence was built up piece- meal. House Raided When Crawford was arrested a house on the south side of the city was raided and considerable goode of value obtained. Crawford was arrested in that part of the city. The police station resembles a merchandise store in one room, with silks, suits of clothes, shirts, vests, and other goods valued at more than $2,000 stored there until it is return- ed to the owners. Crawford, according to the records in the hands of the police, served three years in prison here, being sent up for burglary from James- town, where gt was said he robbed some places and stole church bells. He was released in 1920. He also was sent to the Iowa state prison from Sioux City to serve two years for carrying concealed weapons, be- ing paroled January 11, 1923, ACTRESS IN MOVIES NAMED Mabel Normand Co-Respond- ent in Divorce Suit Los Angeles, Sept. 12—Mabel Nor- mand, motion picture actress, is named in a counter suit for divorce and division of $1,000,000 in commun- ity property filed in superior court here yesterday by Mrs. Georgia W.
