F. Ladd, R. W. Fi vice-chairman of the Non ue executive committee, | has now issued a call for a meeting of the Republican state committee to be held in Bismarck on July 7.| Frazier also invites “every progress- | ive man or woman in this state who| has an interest in the _progre: cause” to attend the meeting. Tribune received the following tele- gram dated at Crosby, N. D.: On account of the opposition of S. S. McDonald, appointee of Governor Sorlie, and Ole Knut- son, a close personal friend of the’ governor, there has devel- oped opposition to a call issued by me for a state convention of Nonpartisan Leaguers to meet in the McKenzie hotel in Bismarck on July 7 at 1 p.m. As chair- man of the Republican state cen- tral committee, I hereby issue a call for a meeting of the Re- publican state committee men at id time and place and invite every progressive man or woman in this state who has an interest in the progressive cause and in who is to be appointed-or elected to fill the vacancy caused by the untimely death of Senator Ladd to attend. R. W. Frazier. Gov. Sorlie had no comment to make on Frazier’s call for a meeting of the Republican state central com- mittee. One member of the commit- tee, when shown Frazier’s Ictter at the ci,itol today, that if the meeting is held steps will be taken to oust Frazier from the chairm ship of the committee. Cannot Be Stopped : Frazier declared today that no one: can stop the call of this meeting of the Republican state central commit- tee and the progressive voters of the state. The Divide county leaguer declared that the proposal for a league conven- tion was indorsec at a big Nonpar- tisan picnic held at Little Cottonwood grove, in the southeast corner of Di- vide county, Sunday, with leaguers from Burke, Mountrail, Williams and Ward counties present. The picnic was addressed by Congressman J. H. Sinclair and State Senator Ralph In- gerson Frazier declared that ever since the Nonpartisan League was estab- lished the system of calling a repre- sentative convention to act upon im- portant questions had been followed and that it would harm the league to override this precedent. The conven- tion, he said, would not try to dic- tate whether Governor Sorlie should appoint or call an election, but would name a candidate for either appoint- ment or election. “I did not take action until many} influential Nonpartisans had dis-| cussed the matter of a convention,” asserted Frazier. “I was advised by them to take this action.” IN CITY MUST BE KEPT CLEAN ._ Weeds and grass on {boulevards in| Bismarck must be cut by the prop- erty owners or the city will have the boulevards cleaned and assess the charges against, the property| owners, according to a decision made by the city commission last night, A. F. Bradley, secretary of the Associa- tion of Commerce, urged that the commission take action to have the grass and weeds on boulevards keep short and said that the associatipn would cooperate in the campaign. Decision was made to present the matter before the luncheon and civic clubs of the city and to notify ptop- erty owners that the boulevards be kept clean.

STATE BUYS | AUTO TAGS AT LOW PRICE Auto license tags are being pur- chased by the North Dakota highway commission at a price among the lowest in the country. At its meet- ing last Saturday, the state highway commission awarded a contract for 128,000 tags at a price of twelve and ninety-five one-hundredths cents per set of license tags, and ten cents for motorcycle tags. The Western Dis- play & Mfg. Co., of St. Paul, Minn., was the successful bidder and will deliver the tars to the” registrar of the motor vehicle at Bismarck for the price named. The reason why this state can se- cure these metal tags at this low rate is due to the fact that the plates are ordered early and can be made at off-season periods, and also, be- cause they are paid for immediately upon delivery, whereas, in several states there is a delay until auto li- cense fees are collected. BIG WARRANT IS DRAWN BY STATE BOARD One of the largest warrants ever issued in North Dakota will be de- livered to the industrial commission tomorrow by the boardvof university and school lands. The warrant was issued today and is for $1,000,000 to pay Ar Bank of North Dakota real estate bonds which the board is pur- chasing. The board of university and school lands had decided to buy the bonds‘ to the amount of $1,600,000, but re-{ considered the action at a meeting yesterday and voted to buy $1,000,000 of the real estate bonds. The indus- trial commission objected to allotting $1,600,000 bonds to the board at 4 per cent par, as the commission could sell the, bonds on the market at a premium. The $1,000,000 bonds pur- chased by the board are at 4.32 per cent. With the payment of $1,000,000 for, bonds, the state board of university and school lands has $750,000 left in the common school permanent fund.

Devine represented state employes who work at the capitol at the commission meeting last night. He said that the state employes re- gret that the city contemplates forc- ing the state to discontinue opera- tion of the street car. Mr. Devine stated that many of the employes de- pend upon the car for transportation to and from the capitol and the dis- continuance of the car would work a hardship on many.

Although shocks were reported Billings, Bozeman, Logan, Three Forks and Manhattan, none were se- vere enough to cause additional damage. Discovery was made that large cracks had appeared in the county jail at Missoula and that the build- ing had listed seven inches. Re- ports from White Sulphur Springs declared that $10,000 would cover the damage caused there. Officials of the Great Northern railway said their lines were open and Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul rail heads announced that their tracks probably would be cleared by Wednesd: Twenty miles of the Milwaukee's main line tracks still are blocked by landslides. Damage Slight White Sulphur Springs dispatches indicate that the damage syffered there Saturday night is much less than originally reported. Both the courthouse and county jail were damaged to the extent that lower j floors cannot be used. Apprehension over the possibility |of a renewal of quakes in Yello stone National Park abated when Sunday passed without additional shocks being felt. Tourists arriving in Billings from the park declared the shocks there were almost imper- ceptible. Residents of the Gallatin valley, the apparent center of the earth- quake which shook four states Sat- urday night and Sunday, remained out in the wide open spaces vester- day looking back at about $500,000 worth of ruins—the aggregate cost jof the temblor.

Looters plied their trade amid the earthquake ruins of Santa Barbara during the night and numerous re- pofts of their depredagions came from officers, national guardsmen, and naval. reservists who threw a network of patrols over the business district during the dark hours. Guadalupe Catholic Church was said to have been one of the prin pal sufferers. Here the police re- port said that altar vessels of gold and silver were stolen. Two suppos- ed thieves were discovered in the ruins of the Arlington hotel, but managed to evade arrest. Other minor cases of theft were also reported, including _ pilfering from the small shops along the wa- ter front. During the night upwards of 200 uniformed police arrived from Los Angeles to aid the local militia in patroling the streets which were closely cordoned from sunset to sun- rise. Shortly after four o'clock the Battleship Arkansas dropped anchor in the harbor and began dispatching MANY INJURED WHEN SHOCKS | DESTROY CITY Property Damage May Reach $30,000,000 in Santa Barbara District PLAN RECONSTRUCTI One Hospital Left in Town to Care for Persons Hurt in Temblors Santa Barbara, June 30.—(/) —A hot June sun rose today on a physical prostrated city by the blue Pacific that throbbed nev- ertheless through every pile of her earthquake debris with the ere spirit of reconstruc- tion, shore patrols of bluejackets through the razed city. JAMESTOWN MAN FOUND DEAD AT PORTLAND, ORE. Jamestown, June 30.—(@)—Mrs. Robert Pugh received a telegram to- day stating that the body of her son, Charles Pugh, had been found in the Willamette river and that identifi- cation was postive. Mr. Pugh dis- appeared from Portland, Ore., on the evening of April 3 following the an- nouncement that he was the winner of a $2,500 prize for a motion picture film salesmanship contest. The theory is that he met foul play, No particulars were given in the tele- gram. The remains will be brought to Jamestown for burial by the wife and three children. He is survived by his mother, Mrs. Pugh, and two isters, Mrs. Gustav Golseth of Jamestown and Mrs. H. John Bjerke of Valley City, and formerly of Bis- marck. Mr. Pugh was 32 years old.

In the hospital lay thirty in- jure. Conservative estimates of material damage, which can- not be definitely confirmed un- til a survey is made today, fixed the loss at $15,000,000. More liberal surveys ran the damage as high as $30,000,000. The injured were treated at Cot- tage hospital, the only hospital re- maining fit to receive patients. No check has been possible of those treated for injuries in their homes. State street, the main artery of the torn and twisted business dis- trict, presented a desblate appear- ance that threw into bold relief the optimism of the men and women who owned the wrecked stores. In front of one shop lay what was left of a small automobile. Blocks of stone weighing 400 or 500 pounds each had crushed it flat and in their fall had ground out the life of William Proctor, window cleaner. Across the way stood a five ton truck shattered under a similar avalanche, TANK KILLS In the ruins of the Hotel Arling- ton, the Mecca of world travelers for years, the fall of a tank contain- ing 60,000 gallons of water, had swept to their death Mrs. Charles E. Perkins, aged millionaire widow, and Ertman B. Hancock, son of G. Allen Hancock, wealthy Los Angeles real- ty_dealer. The latter escaped with three brok- en ribs and scalp wounds after slid- ing three stories to the ground in the room beside that in which his son met his death. NEW BUILDING WRECKED The San Marcus building, a block below the Arlington, recently finish- ed and held to be one of the finest structures in the city, was a paradox of ruin. The center caved in when the earth wave struck the commun- ity. The wings stood apparently in- tact, but a close survey showed them to be badly cracked and twisted. At the other end of the fourteen blocks of State street, which approx- imately marked the extent of the serious business district damage, the new California hotel of 100 rooms, completed within the week, was a total wreck. The roof had collapsed in several places and throughout its entire side one wall had been ripped bare, exposing the beds. Another new hotel, the Carrillo, of filled concrete construction, was badly shaken in its two lowest floors, but above that the walls seemed ta be as good as new. Here and there, throughout the down town section, the pavement bulged and cracked, while in some localities it had been slashed and shot into fragments a foot square by the grinding force of the successive tremors. Plays Queer Pranks In the older and less pretentious residential districts the earthquake had played queer pranks with the wooden homes built a quarter or a half century ago. Herrado Charis, Mexican, of Santa Barbara, died at the Cottage hos- pital today from injuries received in the earthquake. his brings the known list of dead to nine.
