ESTABLISHED 1873 HUGHES OFFERS | BUILDING HERE, Would Build’ Structure For Bank of North Dakota at Second and Broadway SAVING FOR STATE Departments of N. D. Located | at Farge Could Be Moved To Bismarck Members of. the Industrial mission are considering a tion from E. A. Hughes to erect a| building for Bank of North Dakota opposite the Hughes apartments at! Second and Broadway.. It is propo ed to erect a $50,000 two story build- ing and rent it to the state for a net return of 6 per cent on the invest-| ment. The state is now paying in its} present location $1,000 a month ren- tal and furnishing its own heat, light and incidental expenses at a cost of some $2000 a year more. The present location has been rented com- since 1919 at the $1000 a month ren- $60,000 has been over that period alterations without considering sion Monday but no action was tak- en. Mr. Hughes proposes to lease the building to the state for a per- iod of five years with an option of| purchase within that time, It is es-| timated that the rent would amount) to between $3,000 and $4,000 a year! on the type of building Mr. Hughes) has offered to build. : Members of the commission have| instructed C. R. Green to give Mr.| Hughes an estimate of the kind of! building needed to care for the bank. | If the deal goes through the state would pay $200 expense for plans. It is pointed out with increased| office facilities that some of the de- partments of the state now located at Fargo could be moved to Bismarck. The Hotel Inspection and vther_re-| gulatory offices such as the food) departments .ightfully belong’ at the Capital City but cannot be located here because of lack of space at the “apitol building. A survey of condi- tions brings home acutely the’ neces- sity for a new capitol building. Ef- forts to secure [egislative authority for the use of money available for capitol building purposes have: been futile. There is accumulating mopey in the capitol fund for a new build- ine as soon as the legislature acts. | In the meantime this money is being} lvuaned out through the Land Depart- ment.

According to Mr. and Mrs. Dohn and witnesses of the crash, Mr. and Mrs. Dohn and three children were traveling west on the River road in a Ford sedan at a moderate rate of speed when a Dodge sedan driven by Erickson crashed into the rear of the Dohn car. The Ford was hurled across to the left side of th’ road and down a ten-foot embankment when it turned over on its side. The Dodge went off the right hand side of the road and up an embankment, where it stopped, Mr. Dohn was pinned under the stearing wheel and flying glass from the windshield struck Mrs. Dohn across the nose and about the face. The force of the impact threw Mc- Bratney against the windshield of the Dodge car where he sustained the cuts on his forehead.

Casselman, who was elected over W. C. Cashman by a margin of 13 votes at the city election on April 7. declares his term of office began this morning, while Judge Cashman, who has held the office for the past two years, says his term does not expire until May 1. Mr. Casselman appeared at police headquarters at 9 o’clock this morn- ing and declared police court in ses- sion. When he told Chief Chris Martineson to bring out his prisoners he learned that Judge Cashman had held court last night and every- thing to date was cleaned up. Mr. Casselman made a demand on Judge Cashman for his books and records of office this morning but Judge Cashman refused to turn them over.

DAWES RAPS SENATE RULE IN ADDRESS Vice-President Airs Views at Associated Press Annual Meeting ASKS SQUARE DEAL Appeals to U. S. Citizens To Join in Fight on Old Methods (By The Associated Press) New York, April 21,—Vice Pres- ident Charles G. Dawes speaking to- day at the nual luncheon of the Associated Press, gave his views on reform of the rules of the United States Senate. Frank D. Noyes, president of the Associated Press, introduced Mr. Dawes, as a man with a “wonderful record of achievement,” a “radiant personality,” and one who “has now cut out for himself a man-sized job.” Speaking at the twenty-fifth a niversary luncheon at the Waldorf- Astoria the vice-president said that the movement for limitation of de- bate in the Senate was,non-partisan, non-sectional and patriotic. “The issue,” he said, is this: “Shall the Senate continue unchanged its existing rules which admittedly make possible at times the exercise by « minority or even one Senator of power to block the purpose of a majority of the Senate to legislate?” It is important, he continued, that the Senate’s rules, “give every Sen- ator a square deal, but it is imper- ative that they give the American people a square deal.” The extra-constitutional powers of Senators in this connection, Mr. Dawes said, were subversive of the principles of representative consti- tutional government. Answering sev- eral arguments against ,a cloture rule, the Vice President said: “The purpose is not to prevent Senators from fully debating a question, but to make possible the prolonging of debate to prevent a majority from settling the question.” Mr. Dawes appealed to citizens to make known to their individual Sen- ators their attitude on the question. Mr. Dawes’ speech follows: ‘As_ Vice-President, elected, not by theSenate, or by a State, but by the le of the United States to pre- side over the Senate, I conceive my- self charged with the duty of call- ing attention to methods of Senate parliamentary procedure in their re- lation to the national interest. The fact that of practically all deliber- jative and legislative assemblies of the world, the United States Senate, almost alone, chooses to conduct its business under rules which do not provide properly effective cloture, emphasizes this duty on my part. The issue presented in the move- ment for reform in the present rules of the Senate of the United States is non-partisan, non-sectional and pa- triotic. An improvement in these rules to expedite the conduct of business is as impersonal and non- partisan a question as was that of the adoption of the budget system improving the conduct of routine governmental business. ‘As emphasizing this non-partisan- ‘ship, on the day after I had called the attention of the Senate to the need for a change in the rules (as ta Vice-President who happened to be a Republican), that able and dis- tinguished Democrat, Senator Under- wood of Alabama, long an earnest advocate of reform in the business methods of the Senate, re-introduced a resolution in the Senate providing for better cloture. The absence of cloture has been denounced on the floor of the Sen- ate by Senator Kellogg, now Secre- tary of State under a Republican administration. In the platforms of the Democratic party, adopted in 1916 and 1920 was a plank which Treads: “We favor such alteration of the rules of procedure of the Senate of the United States as will permit the prompt transaction of the nation’s legislative business.” It is evident from all this that the advocates of this reform recognize it as non-partisan. It cannot be ac- complished except it is accepted in the hearts and consciences of all citizens as non-partisan and patri- otic—a reform demanded by the people in the interest of ail the people. It should not be discussed from any other standpoint than that of nonpartisanship. The issue is this: Shall the Senate continue unchanged its existing rules which admittedly make p ble, at times, the exercise by a ority or even one Senator of power to block the purpose of a majority of the Senate to legislate? Of what material relevancy is the claim that this BORE of blocking legislation desired by the majority, under its constitutional rights, is sometimes a check to mis- taken legislation, if that check i volves the use of power the exis- tence of which is not contemplated ‘by, the Constitution and is inconsist- ent with the principles of represen- tative government? f what rel- evancy are the claims that because the power of unlimited debate in the early days of the Senate with its small membership was not abused, that this pores with its consequen- ces should have existed then or should exist now? Because it could modify the con- | Lei duct of government business as in- tended ay the Constitution, the ex- istence of the power was as wrong in the past as both its existence and exercise are wrong at the present time. Who can justly claim that the rotection of the country against jasty legislation demands not only concurre: in legislative action of the two houses of Cong: the the ‘veto power of the President of United Sia, and the power of re- vision by th United Btates but, in addition, (Continued on page three) Sapreme Court of the} m THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE Limon BISMARCK, NORTH DAKOTA, TUESDAY, APRIL 21, 1925 NEW FRENCH CABINET STATES AIMS De eee. | WILL MAKE OCEAN FLIGHT U.

Young who held that the claim was illegal. Mr. Kiebert stated in his claim that on March 13 he fell near the corner of Thayér and Third streets and sustained a broken arm. He bas- ed his claim on the allegation that the arc light at the intersection of Thayer and Third streets had not been switched on.

WHEELER WANTS FACTS | BEFORE JURY Accused Solon Will Not Ask; For Directed Verdict ! in Trial (By The Associated Press) Great Falls, Mont. April 21.— out asking a directed verdict in Senator Burton K. Wheeler counsel in his trial here on charges of wrongly using his influ- ence with the Department of Interior, went forward today with its an-| nounced purpose of “putting all the! facts before the jury.” “We don’t want a directed verdict,” | declared W. F. O'Leary, one of| Wheeler's attorneys. “We want every opportunity foregiving all the facts to the jury. for determination of guilt or innocence. After intreducing a mystery wit- ness, a New York lawyer, the gov- ernment abyuptly rested its case The mystery witness—George B.| Hayes—testified that Senator Wheel- er approached him in March, 1923, shortly before sailing for Europe and, asked him to appear in his place be- fore the interior department in pro- being sought by Gordon Campbell, Montana oil operator. Hayes asserted Wheeler offered to split the retainer fee with him and created the impression that it was a large one. Hayes declared he was gpproached early in March, 1923, by Edwin S.| Booth, then solicitor for the depart- ment of the interior, and was asked to meet with Wheeler. A conference} was arranged and a few days later,| he testified, he met the Montana sen- ator in the lobby of the Waldorf As- FOR FACTIONAL PEACE ASLIVESLOST PRICE FIVE CEN' WILD SCENES AS PLATFORM | 1$ PRESENTED | | Cheers and Jeers Greet Reading of Declaration To Parliament Appeals to National Con- cord in Finances and Religious Question (By The Associated Press) Paris, April 21.—The ultimate im- position of drastic financial mea- sures, maintenance of the embassy at the Vatican and pacification of internal dissension, but above all the real security for France, were the principal points in the minister- ial declaration of the Painleve-Cail- laux-Briand cabinet read before the Chamber of Deputies and the Senate this afternoon. France has had a “bitter illusion- ment,” the statement declared, but was “determined to look the facts in the face.” The statement appealed to the “national concord” with re- ference fo the finances as well as to the religious questions. Regarding the finances the state- ment declared: “When we have succeeded finally and definitely in balancing the bud- get so it cannot be questioned, we will take the state out of the role of banker, which it has been made to fill. Then we will be obliged to ask big sacrifites of the nation. We shall appeal to all citizens in the atmosphere of national concord.” The statement said France would maintain all her present treaties and “pursue the execution of the Dawes plan at the same time\as the settle- ment of the inter-allied war debts.” The government pronounced in favor of the maintenance of a diplo- matic representative at the. Vatican calling the offi ‘a highly quali- fied representative” instead of an ambassador. Tumult in the Chamber of Deph- ties and absolute silence in the Sen- ate greated the ministerial declara- tion when its reading began. In the Chamber there was booing and cheer- ing. Finance minister Caillaux was greeted with cries of “Bolo, Bolo!” a reference to the executive war ti traitor Bolo Pasha with whom Ci laux at one time was accused of sociation. Order was finally restored Premier Painleve begun reading th declaration amidst impressive si ence. : After the reading the Senate ad- journed until Thursday morning awaiting the Chamber's decision on the new ministry and Premier Pain- leve’s appear in the upper chamber. Caillaux, who was the storm cen- ter of the tumult in the Chamber sat rigid on the government bench, never looking to the right ‘nor the left, and never acknowledging by a single motion either the cries of hatred from the right, or tite cneers and applause from the radicals, toria hotel in New York. “Wheeler told me he was leaving} for Europe and that at least one| fatter of unusual importance affect- | ing his client was due to come up before the interior department short- ly,” said Hayes. “He asked if I would handle it and said I could dis- cuss the matter freely with Booth. I think it was characterized as the Lincoln oil well or the Lincoln prop-| erty. I said I did not particularly | care to take the matter up.” = Hayes declared the meeting was in the lobby of the hotel. He said Wheeler mentioned his retainer fee and agreed to split it for whateyer services Hayes would render. On cross examination Hayes said he did not recall that the amount of the re- tainer had been mentioned, but that Wheeler left the impression that it was a large one. ‘As Hayes unfolded his story, which the government concedes the strong- est point in its case Senator Wheeler | leaned back in his chair and sat with | eyes closed.

Two steamships and two ocean going tugs were speeding to the rescue of the crew but the freighter went down before any of them could reach the distressed vessel in time to effect a rescue. For more than seven hours before going down the Raifuku Maru strug- gled in mountainous seas which stove in her life boats and caused a dan- gerous list by a shift of the cargo. The freighter was listing thirty de- grees when her captain sent his first urgent call for assistance. i Although the Homeric put on full speed in the direction of the dis- \tressed vessel she failed to arrive in time to save the freighter’s crew. Heavy seas made it impossible for j the crews to survive in the waters. STATE GRAIN | EXCHANGEIS INCORPORATED (By The Associated Press) Grand Forks, N.
