Suet a, NORTH DAKOTA’S OLDEST NEWSPAPER ESTABLISHED 1878 EARTHOUAKE CENTERS OFF MA Martial Law Is Declared in Rumania CITY TO BUILD NEW ROAD TO FORT LINCOLN Preliminary: Surveys Will Be Made This Fall—Construc- tion Next Spring TO LEAD TO NORTH GATE Fort Lincoln Flying Field May Be Available For Munici- pal Airport Assurance that the city will build a first-class graveled road from Bismarck to Fort Lincoln just as soon as possible was given Lieut. Colonel Thomas W. manding officer at the fort, by city commission Monday _ night. Colonel Brown appeared before the board to request that something be done to improve the road to the fort’s “front door,” which is the north gate. Absence of a good road means that the men at the army post must do double work to Beh supplies out from the city and consequently have less leisure time, Colonel Brown pointed out. “The men will have more time to come to Bismarck if the road system is good,” he said. It was suggested that a new road be laid out running directly north fro the north gate of the fort, intersect- ing Main avenue at about 19th or 20th street. A straight road would make the distance from the fort to Bismarck at least one-third of a mile shorter, as compared with the present zig-zag road, Colonel Brown said. It was stated that a prelim- inary survey indicated that the necessary right-of-way could be easily secured. Needed For Airport Frayne Baker told the commission that a good road to the fort would be a most important consideration on the part of the war department in maintaining or preheat the garrison here, and Colonel Brown said he would gladly recommend to his superiors tl rt of the, Fort Lincoln grounds be leased to the city at a nominal sum for use'as a mu- nicipal airport, Sane, there was @ good stn ds leading thereto. An airport would be useless as cuch un- less there was a good means of communication between the city and ring field, he said. Although the county has already contracted for graveling the road which runs south from the peniten- tiary\to the east gate at Fort*Lin- coln, ‘Colonel Brown said that this road was somewhat out «f the way for use by the garrison and, if the Northern Pacific puts back the spur which formerly extended to the fort it will require some 6f the road’s right-of-way, he said. Efforts are now under way to have the spur re- turned. City il . to Cooperate Mayor A. P. Lenhart assured Col- onel Brown that Bisma:ck was glad to cooperate with the,army post of- ficers to the fullest extent and that steps ‘would be taken immediately towards the building of the new road, although actual construction work probably could not be com- menced until spring. The city en- gineer was instructed to. make the necessary surveys at ohce, after which steps will be taken to secure the right-of-way. M. C. Berger asked the city com- mission for installatiaon of a sani- tary sewer on South Ninth street between Front and Bowen avenues. He was instructed to present a_pe- tition for such improvement at the next meeting. Requests Rejected , Request of W. A.

Fall as early as Octo- ber, 1921; the defense brought out today at the opening of the seventh day of the oil conspiracy trial in the District of Columbia supreme court. Arthur D. Ambrose, former em- ploye of the interior department, Palled originally as_a government witness, gave this information to the jury trying the former interior sec- retary and Harry F. Sinclair on the cha wing out of the lease of Reeeat ene on April 7, 1922. Under cross-examination by George P. Hoover, of counsel for the oil operator, Ambrose said after he had made a visit to the west in the late summer of 1921, he reported to Fall that the “saddle” in Teapot Dome had been erroneously located and that part of the reserve was susceptive of drainage by wells lo- I cated in the salt creek field to the north, Did Not Go Into Details “At the time we did not go into details of the drainage,” Ambrose said, “because the subject of drain- age had just come to our attention and we were just beginning to give it somé thought.” The defense has laid stress on the danger of drainage making it neces- sary to lease the field. erring to a conference he had with Fall in January, 1922, Ambrose testified that H.

Two applications for injunctions to rescue the literary brands from the burning were filed, ofle by Ed- ward J. Bohac, which was to be heard in circuit court today, the oth- er by J. Kentner Elliott. Both act- ed as taxpayers, secking to enjoin the destruction of public property. But there was one bonfire re- ported last night, which, while not much in the way of a display, was regarded as symbolic by those who have endorsed the mayor's “America first” endeavors. It was the private burning by U. J. Hermann, library trustee and the mayor's agent in the library investigation, of a copy of Meiler Schlessinger’s American His tory, which has been attacked as un- American in some of its sentiments. Hermann bought the copy he de- stroyed, Not Encouraging The mayor's crusade against Bri- tain-tainted literature and against, pro-British teaching in the Chicago public school system brought forth a concert of circumst#hces yesterday involving the library board, the school board, the mayor's field men in the campaign, clergymen and his- torians, For the most part the de- velopments were not encouraging to the mayor’s cause, yet there was neither. pause nor slowing down at the city hall. One high spot of the day was at the offices of the board of educa- tion where the trial of William Me- of schools, was to have been re- sumed. It was this trial, echo of Mayor Thompson’s campaign pledge o “rid the schools of King George's stool pigeon,” that kindled the fire which now is lapping at tomes in the public library. The board finally postponed the hearing because of the absence of the defendant, who was out of town filling a speaking engagement.

PRICE FIVE CENTS ~ ASKA TEMBLOR DOES LITTLE DAMAGE: NO LIVES LOST Cable Communications Dis- rupted, Windows and Dishes Broken by Shock RESIDENTS FRIGHTENED Tidal Wave in Hawaiian Wa- ters, Predicted to Follow, Does Not Materialize Seattle, Washington, Oct. 25.— (AP)—Alaska congratulated itself today on surviving an earthquake of unusual intensity without loss - of life and with but little damage. The southeastern part of the ters ritory was given a vigorous shak- ing about 7 o'clock yesterday morn- ing in a ‘eismic disturbance which had its center in the ocean bottom Aes hundred miles off the main- and, Force Diminishes Tho femblor, which disrupted ca- ble communications, broke windows and dishes and frightened residents of several towns, had diminished in force by the time it struck the main. land yesterday. Had an earthquake of such vioe lence occurred in @ region more densely populated than Alaska, seimologists pointed out, the loss of life undoubtedly would have been heavy. The tremor was of suffi- cient force to put out of commis- sion’ seismographs in many parts of the United States. A prediction by Dr. Thomas A, Jaggar, director of the Mount Ki- lauea volcano laboratory on the island of Hawaii, that a tidal wave would occur in Hawaiian waters a few hours after the Alaskan earth. quake had not materialized early today. News of the quake, however, had its effect on the Japanese fishermen of Hilo. Dispatches from there said the fishermen, on hearing of the temblor, rushed into the outer har- bor, spread their nets and brought up whole boat loads of strange, deep-sea fish, They expressed the belief that undersea heat incidental to the disturbance had caused the fish to seek higher and cooler water. Cables Are Broken Residents rushed into the streets of Juneau, Alaska, when the first shock was felt. Recurrent tremors were felt for sevcral minutes. _Re- ports of the quake were received from Sitka, Ketchikan and Peters- burg, all in southeastern Alaska, and from Seward, mining town of northern British Columbia. Advices from Petersburg said a cable near Wrangell, 50 miles away, had been broken. A second break im the ca- ble occurred between Juneau and Seward. Cordova, several miles northwest of Juneau, described the quake as “slight.” Belief that the shock was the re- sult of a volcanic eruption along the Alaska peninsula or the Aleutian jslands was given little credence when reports from Weward and oth- er towns near the so-called voleano peainn said no disturbance hal been felt. In Seattle and Everett, Wash. the water in swimming tanks was said to have been dashed into ama)! waves coincident with the Alaska quake, Butte Mine Company.
