Later they were dio- persed by the police. PREPARE FOR WAR Shanghai, June 26.—(?)—A_ meet- ing of the ‘Shanghai students’ union yesterday decided to issue an appeal to all Chinese students thoughout the country to “learn the art of war and be ready to fight for their coun- try.” It was resolved to petition the military chief to select teachers to “arouse the patriotism of the people and soldiers.” McLEAN COUNTY BOOMS VOGEL FOR SENATOR: Garrison, June 26.—The friends of Frank Vogel in this county began circulating petitions this week ad- dressed to Governor Sorlie asking him if he has the power of appoint- ment, which seem fairly certain, to appoint Mr. Vogel as senator. McLean couaty friends argue inas- much as this was one of the banner counties in giving Governor Sorlie a majority in the last election, it has as much, claim to the honor as any county ‘or section of the state. Mr. Vogel is alive, virile, a go: retter in the Progressive cause that Governor Sorlie calls his own. As administration leader in the house of representatives, Mr. Vogel served with distinction, He has the ability and vim that the West demands in its representation in Congress. There is probubly no Progressive in the state on whom the Progressives could so unite as on Frank Vogel, in his all-round acceptability. WAR AGAINST Mr. O'Connor is an orator of nz tional prominence and was active Democratic circles iz North Dakota for many years. BIG PROGRAM IS MADE FOR LEGION MEET Valley City to Entertain North Dakota Veterans in Royal Style Fargo, N. D., June 26.—(®)—Jack Williams, Adjutant of the North Da- kota department of the American Legion, just returned from a con- ference with post officers at Valley City, reported today that arrange- ments are now completed and a final draft of the program has been made for the state convention of: his or- ganization there, July 8 and 9. | Mr. Williams, Fred J. Frederick- son, commander of the Valley City post, and other state Legion officials conferred in the convention city on matters concerning the program and entertainment. / “The Valley City post is showing “a great spirit of cooperation with the state department and has made great plans to entertain the Legion- naires of North Dakota,” Mr. Wil- Iams said today. “A rodeo and wild west entertainment staged by ‘Bad Lands Bill’ McCarthy, the one who has put on the annual Mandan round-up, is one of the main fea- tures that the Valley City post has arranged for the meeting. Another entertainment feature will, be a box- ing program consisting of 34 rounds with some of the leaders in the northwest mitten-pushing _ world.” Main event contenders in the box- WITH M’ADOO Sq) c— TS 8 ‘B.

MADE HEAD OF STATE BANKERS Ed Pierce Elected . President at Closing Session of N. D. Convention FACTIONS ARE ACTIVE; Political Groups Seek Create Popular Demand for Special Election to No appointment or any other ac- tion in regard to a successor to the late Senator Ladd likely will be tak- en by Gov. A. G. Sorlie until the body of the late North Dakota sena- tor is finally laid to rest either in| North Dakota or Maine. Mrs, Ladd/ has not decided definitely where the final interment will take place. e éntire matter of the vacancy is now before Gov. Sorlie. He is giving it deep study as well as the law and precedent applicable to the! situation.. He is opposed to a spe-! cial election and the expense and | political bitterness that it will entail.| | The state’s chief executive points| out that there is no necessity for haste in the matter, as Congress is} not in session. Factions Are Busy While the governor maintains silence and avoids discussion large- ly tha political factions are busy seeking to create popular opinion for ai special election. William Lemke in league circles is not backward in demanding an election and in turn the leaders of the “Real Republican Committee” or the so-called mug- wump Republicans who refused to support Senator McCumber when he ran last at the primaries and then supported J. F. T. O'Connor, a Dem- ocrat, in the fall, seem positive that an election is the only recourse and there are evidences that they may force the issue sooner or later. There is a split, however, in the old I. V. A. organization. The Grand Forks Herald editorially strongly op- poses a special election both because of the expense involved and because the bitterness that would be engen-} dered. Laws are Searched Laws, congressional records and every kind of a precedent is being searched to sustain either of the positions taken; that of filling the vacancy by appointment or by a spe- cial election. Within the next few weeks some interesting developments are expect- ed. : COOLIDGE PAYS TRIBUTE TO SENATOR LADD Glowing tribute to the life and a complishments of Senator Ladd was paid by President Coolidge in a let-! ter to Mrs. Ladd. The letter follows: “The news of your husband's death has just come to me, bringing a ek that is the greater because I had been led to'believe that his ill- nog eam not nearly oo erave as this sad event proves. It brings me a peuse ot persoual loss, vecause of Devils Lake, June 26.—(?)—Form- er Senator Ed Pierce of Sheldon, N. D., was elected president of ‘the North Dakota Bankers Association at the closing session of. their state convention here today. H. T. Graves of Jamestown was elected vice pre- sident and balloting continued for an executive council which in turn will select the secretary and trea- surer. The convention decided to hold its next meeting at Jamestown, The bankers adopted a resolution urging Governor Sorlie to as soon as possible without undue cevemony hold an election to select a succes- sor to the late Senator E. F. Ladd. Another resolution expressed sorrow over the death of Senator Ladd. The third resolution indorsed .the repeal of the guarantee of deposits jaw. President John Lee Colter of the state agriculture college, addressing the bankers on the agriculture out-| look for North Dakota, said that losses by hail and rain and possible rust losses in wheat would not aver- age more than 10 per cent and that this minimum loss would only serve to increase the value of the remain- ing excellent crop.

It was estimated that nearly 100 persons were in the known. The exact cause of the explosion is not known. Police believe the blast occurred in a restaurant in the building. Search Delayed Henderson estimated that it would require at least two days to clear away the wreckage. Parts of the walls of the four story building still standing will have to be felled be- fore a search of the ruins can be made, Chief Henderson said. After searching through the building, fire- men expressed the belief that the blast was caused by escaping gas. Due to the huge amount of debris they were unable to explore the ruins and arrive at a definite cause. According to Melvin McNutt, negro porter in the restaurant, he and the cook, who is missing, smelled gas fumes in the basement 30 minutes before the explosion. The negro had left the building for fresh air when the blast came. Comedian Escapes Jack Renaud, comedian at the theatre, and his wife were at the rear of the stage when the blast oc- curred. The vaudeville show had just ended and the picture, featuring “Flaming Passion,” were _ being shown. Renaud and his wife stepped r of the ruins just as tons of is hurled down behind them.

CAPITOL CAR LINE TRACKS 10 BE REMOVED Bus to Take Place of Street Car After July 1; City to Serve Notice | The city of Bismarck is to serve la trespass notice on the state of! | North Dakota which will then pro- ceed to remove the tracks and wires on Fourth street, long the apple of discontent with the city fathers. R. B. Murphy, chairman of the state board of administration which is foster-parent of the trolley-line, said today that it is quite likely that on July 1 an aytomobile bus will take the place of the street car. This will be the final winding-up of years of contro’ y which was recently brought to a head by a de- mand of the city authorities that the state remove the trolley and tracks or obtain an extension of franchise and pave between the tracks and one and one-half feet on each side of the tracks. Mr. Murphy says that the board the state with a renewed franchise and that the state has no appropri- ation for paving, due to negligence on the part of both city officials and the legislature. He believes that if the city had applied a little more Pressure the paving would have been completed long ago. “The only sufferers by the change,” said Mr. Murphy, “will be the two men we employ on the car and the fire- man. They will be out of jobs. And| then there are a lot of people who have traveled to and from the capitol so many times that they consider the trolley as part of the capitol and its tradition.” The Interstate Bus company has agreed to install bus service at 7% cents a fare, 2% cents more than the Present fare on the trolley. The bus company has promised to maintain regular service and to take in a lar- ger itinerary than was possible with the trolley.

[juam) BISMARCK, NORTH DAKOTA, FRIDAY, JUNE 26, 1925 PRICE .FIVE CENTS HEPHERD CASE TODAY Shanghai Strike Ends CROWE MAKES PLEA TO HANG ACCUSED MAN State’s ‘Attorney Delivers Final Argument in Trial for Germ, Murder ASSAILS ATTORNEYS Ridicules Plot Accusations Made by Lawyers for Defendant Chicago, June 26.—The greatest crowd of the six weeks of the trial fought for admission to the court room today to hear Robert E. Crowe, states attorney, make the closing jury plea in the Shepherd trial. Hundreds of persons forced their way into a court room which ordin- ary holds 90 and long lines extended awav from the entrance. Prosecu- tor Crowe faced the jury at 10:25 a. m. and began talking in easy con- versational tones. He led_ with a denunciation of William Scott Steward and W. W. O'Brien, the defence attorneys, for their spirit of levity during the trial. He defended himself, Judge Olson, and Alexander J. Reichmann from the defense allegations that the ac- cusation against Shepherd and trial were steps in a vicious con. spiracy against Shepherd to prevent him inheriting the million dollar estate willed to him by the boy he is charged with using typhoid gcrms to slay. New Kind of Murder “Tam here because it is my sacred duty to be here,” Crowe shouted. “They have introduced a new kind of murder here and because of that the most important murde¥ trial in the history of Hlinois. “Yet Stewart and O'Brien would have you believe I am so vile. ven- ial and corrupt that I would be forced to become a party to a con- spiracy to strangle an, innocent man.” Prosecutor Crowe's face reddened and his eyes narrowed as he turned and glared at Shepherd when he ar- raigned the defendant as “perpetra- tor of a new species of murder.” Stewart and O'Brien were on their feet with a half dozen objec- tions as Crowe talked and O’Brien made, numerous sarcastic comments from his seat. “They wanted to laugh this case out of court”, Crowe forced between clenched teeth, Call it a Comedy “They wanted to call it a comedy, mke a burlesque out of it.” Crowe said the reason he put Judge Olson on the witness stand was to give Stewart and O'B: opportunity to make good their jury choosing statement “We will show this case is a frame up; Harry Ol- son has a financial interest in it”. “What do you think of tactics of that sort?” demanded Crowe as he accused Stewart and O’Brien. “What do you think of the method in which this case has been defend- ed?” Shakespeare h: aid that “ap- parél oft proclaims the man”. You can often tell whether or not the defendant is guilty by the kind of defense he presents to the jury.” Waits Until Last The prosecutor criticised She herd for living 16 years in a mi lionairie home in a fashionable sub- urb and practicing law and not having a host of influential friends to rush to his rescue and for waiting until the last moment to deny the charges against him. The defdnce objected that by insin- uating that SI rd should have led chi the prose- cution was committing a reversive error. History of Case ial of William Darling Shep- begun approximately six weeks ago; three weeks and three days were required for selection of a jury, twelve days for presentation of testimony and the last three days for jury pleas by four attornys. Shepherd was indicted March 17, last, upon 22 counts of murder, chief of which were that he had used typhoid germs to cause a fatal dis- ease in his young foster son, William Nelson McClintock, who had made a will naming Shepherd chief benefi- ciary of an estate valued in excess of a million. Died Last December The youth died Dec. 4, last, of typhoid during a minor epidemic of that disease traced by city health officers to contaminated oysters shipped from the east. Virtually from the day of - the youth’s death whispers were heard against, Shepherd in Kenilworth, the fashionable northshore suburb in which the Shepherds shared McClin- tock’s home, : Judge Harry Olson, chief justice of the Municipal court of Chicago, proclaimed himself “counsel for the dead” and demanded an official. in- vestigation. Shepherd and his wife, who had gone to Albuquerque, N. M., re- turned to Chicago, were ned by the state attorney and detained.
