Lowden of Illinois, wants more information from him as to his views on western problems. Senator ye of North Dakota, one nf the five ators now belonging 0 the Norris cluster, made this clear in a speech here last night before the Washington Chamber of Commerce, in which he asked Mr. Lowden to clari his position re- garding the inte s of the west. Wants Position Clarified The North Dakota senator said ne did not wish to embarrass the candidacy of Mr. Lowden or to elim- inate him from the considerations, but he thought it possible that Low- den “might soon see fit to clarify his postition.” While the former governor of . Illinois has advanced the MecNary-Haugen bill, Senator Nye declared that mere enactment of this measure is not going to save rgriculture. “With these thoughts in mind,” he added, “I would assume that you could understand why there are many of us who would insist upon tie candidacy for the presidency of ene like Seyator Norris and why ve feel that’ the t ought to en- eourage, in whatever way it can,; such a movemen’ Meanwhile this insurgent group, which includes Senator Borah of Idaho, Brookhart of Iowa and Fra- zier of North Dakota, is busy work- ing out a new farm relief bill which it hopes will be acceptable to Sen- ator Borah, an opponent of the vetoed McNary-Haugen measure. The new bill will eliminate the con- troverted equalization fee provision which met the disapproval of Pres- ident Coolidge and of Senator Borah as well.

There is a feel- ing among some that Senator Nor- vis, in his own words, “has little chance of getting the nomination.” Senator McMasters says he would be glad tg campaign for ether Sen- ator Norris or Senator Borah, but, without naming a candidate, he says the people want to vote for a man whe they believe can obtain the nomination. He adds that the issue is not men but-a cause—farn relief. Some members of the group de- clare privately their hope that, if Senator Norris: will not make the race or sees no chance of success, Senator Borah will go forward in their cause as a presidential candi- date. This, however, i: predicated upon formation of a farm relief bill which agrees with the views of the Tdahoan.

(Uncle Bill) Clune, who was one of the pioneers on the trail that led motion pictures out of the penny arcades and nickelodeons into the glittering movie palaces of the present day. A paralytic stroke yesterday re- sulted in the death of the 65-year- old film man today, whose vision a quarter of a century ago of what the film industry was to become re- warded him with a fortune esti- mated at $20,000,000. é A fortunate real estate venture gave Clune, who started as a rail- road engineer, the money to open a small film exchange, with a few comedy reels as his only stock in trade. It grew to a small fortune when he risked everything to build the first of his theatres to present screen dramas on what is now con- sidered a lavish scale. ‘ le plunged to enter the field of Portland, Maine, Oct. 19.—( Maine has chosen to rect primary.

But one thing is certain, It won’t cost the state as much as some of the newspapers are costing it by their efforts to wreck the state.” The governor said he is leaving for Minneapolis tonight in connec- tion with the case of the Grand Forks mill ana elevatot which now is before the interstate commerce commission. The mill management is asking the federal commission to “make an equitable break” in grain rateS at Grand Forks to permit milling in transit at the state mill and to aid in building up at Grand Forks a grain terminal for North Dakota products. Meanwhile figures compiled by State Auditor John Steer. showed that the special session of 19:9, the last in the state's history, lasted 18 days and cost the state $35,814.98. The per diem and mileage of legis- lators cost $21,854.50; salaries and mileage of employes cost $5,159; rinting cost $5,768.02 and miscel- ene expenses and supplies cost $3,033.46.

MINERS FACING PICKET ARREST Illegality of Colorado Strike Claimed by Authorities— Walkout Continues Denver, Oct. 19.—(AP)—Striking Colorado coal miners affiliated with the Industrial Workers of the World, today faced an ultimatum from state agd county authorities that all pickets’ would be arrested because yesterday's strike call was illegal. Although approximately 1,000 mines responded to the I.W.W. strike order, only part of the state’s coal poids were seriously affected thus far. Uniteq Mine workers, although in the minority in most fields, con- tinued to denounce the movement and attempted to carry on their usual duties.

BE OBSERVED Governor Proclaims October 27 as Joint Holiday—Prai: Former President Proclamation of October 27 as Roosevelt. and Navy Day was made here today by Governor A. G. Sor- lie. Pointing out that the date marks the sixty-ninth anniversary of the birth of the former president, Gov- ernor Sorlie said the event is of par- ticular importance to the people of North Dakota. : “Roosevelt came here in search of health and strength and his life in the open as a frontier ranchman transformed him from physical frailty Ao robust manhood,” the proclamation said. “While his great- est contributions to Americanism and the cause of humanity were made from more prominent stages than his Elkhorn ranch, neverthe- Dakota as the state that gave to Roosevelt, the healthful vigor whicht marked his career. He loved the wholesomeness of his companions and friends here and through the years cherished happy memories of his life in ‘North Dakota.” Pointing out that the United States Naval Institute has selected Roosevelt’s birthday as Navy Day, the governor said it is highly fitting since Roosevelt bent his energies to- ward pertecting the United States navy throughout his life. Exercises should be held through- out the state wherever possible with special consideration being given to the principles which governed Roos- evelt’s life and made him the most typical American of modern times, the proclamation said. Thoughtful consideration should be given the American navy and merchant marine, the proclamation said, and incidentally called atten- tion to the campaign for funds to reconstruct “Old Ironsides” famous American warship of the sailing ves- sel age.

From the outside, the plane is an imposing craft, with a wing span of| 71 feet, a length of 49 feet and a height of 13 feet. One look at the| powerful motors—three of them— which propel the plane, convince one that a flight can be! ithout any danger. | The “airplane” idea of cramped] quarters and little protection from| the cold blasts of the uppc further dispelled as you step into the cabin of the Stanolind. Seats Very Comfortable Three comfortable berths, which) f are folded into divans for daytime | use, occupy the rear of the cabin. In front of them are fou wicker chairs, looking more as if they were on somcone’s front porch than in a plane. Wide glass win-| dows at the side give a view of the country passed over and fur- ther reminder of a Pullm 7 A writing desk is another item of equipment. Smoking sets and elec- tric cigar lighters are provided in convenient locations. Just ahead of the main cabin is a small observation compartment, with space for two people, while ahead of this is the control cabin, enclosed in glass, which contains seats for the two pilots, together with a double set of controls so that either pilot can operate the plane. Fields Like Checkerboards In the main compartment, there was not the slightest jar as the plane took off on its trips yester- day, and there was only the muf- fled throb of the engines to tell that it was in the air. Gradually rising, the Stanolind veered toward Bis- marck. Below, the fields showed a variety of colors not visible from earth. Like checkerboards they looked. Off to the left was the Mis- souri, winding lazily off between the hills, and so high was the plane that the river looked more like a giant lake than a_ swift-moving stream. The machine traveled at an average speed of 80 miles an hour during the trip. From an altitude of 2,500 feet, Bismarck presented a much less fav- orable aspect than from earth. houses looked straggling and the largest buildings were dwarfed. The railroad track appeared like a child’s toy set, on which a miniature train ran, and the capitol, like a small reproduction of‘its actual self. No Jar at Landing The plane circled over the city sev eral times, while its passengers car- ried on a conversation, little disturb- ed by the sound of the motors, and looked with interest at the land- scape below. At the end of 10 min- utes, the plane turned toward the field again and landed with scarcely a jar. The passengers stepped out, convinced that the modern conven- fences don’t have to be left behind when one goes on a flight. Further. more, they suffered no discomfort in ESCAPE FROM IRREGULARS APTER FIGHT 67 Irregulars Either Killed or Wounded — Constabulary Loses Four Men HU FOR MISSING 'MEN Contingent of 600 Constabu- lary Formed to Fight General Sandino Managua, Nicaragua, Oct. 19.— (AP fter severe fighting with a force of 300 outlaws who suddenly closed in on them, a patrol’ of 40 American marines and constabulary pscaped from irregulars operat- in the Nueva Sergovia depart- y-seven irregulars were killed led and four members of the lary were killed in the bate The fighting occurred when the patrol tried to penetrate bandit strongholds in search of two marine Second Lieutenant A. Thomas and Sergeant Frank . Dowdell, who were last seen run- ning from their wrecked plane near Quilali, een, passing through the brush, engaged in a fierce Tight with the bandits, killing four of them. The patrol finally managed to cut its way out, but lost horses, mules, rations, blankets and a compass in the encounter, ierce Fighting Reported report of the fighting sent the commander of the patrol, Lieutenant George J. J. O’Shea, com- manding a detachment at Jicaro, and Lieutenant J. B. O'Neil described two instances which indicated the intensity of the battle. One mem- ber of the Guardia Nacional con- tinued to fight after his rifle barrel had been shot away and Private Kenneth Struck was credited with saving Lieutenant O’Shea’s life when he picked off a bandit who had the drop on O'Shea at close quarters. The patrol had made a forced march to the region near Quilali in an effort to find the missing flyers who crashed near Surotilla mountain while dropping bombs on General Augusto Sandino and his followers early this month. The aviators were seen running from their burning plane. They ‘signalled that they were not hurt. Since then scouting expeditions have been unable to lo- cate the fly New Expedition Planned A contingent of 600 constabulary is now being formed as an expedi- tionary force against General San- dino, who was the only one of the liberal General Moncada's lieuten- ants to reject the Nicaraguan set- ted by Colonel Henry The activities of the irre; under his command have increased in the mountain region to which he fled. July 25 his forces iF }ambushed a detachment of marines and constabulary near Ocotal. One ine was killed and several of the 100 wounded in an encounter, nesty has been offered to those of Sandino’s followers who would lay down their arms. The report of the most recent en- counter says that the detachment was advancing cautiously in the vicinity of the mountain where the plane crashed. Suddenly it was attacked from three sides by a bandit force of 300. They were well armed, having plenty of ammunition and dynamite bombs. Despite their courageous fight against superior numbers, the re- port states, the patrol was forced to withdraw and fight its way to the rear. Using hand grenades and auto- matic rifles, Lieutenant O’Neil and Private Henry McKenzie killed seven bandits, including their leader, May-. ora, Machine Guns Silenced Due to the heavy bush and con- stant machine gun fire from the ban- dits, the fighting was difficult. Lieutenant O’Shea and Privates Go- lah and Welch silenced the machine guns, however. The bandits then reorganized, the report continues, and began to close in, ‘Finally, after two hours and 15 minutes of fighting, the patrol took to the bushes. It succeeded in es- caping by passing between two groups of the irregulars, One bandit was captured. The patrol followed the ravine of a small stream and after a forced march reached scfety.
