Mea NORTH DAKOTA’S OLDEST NEWSPAPER _ "“ESTAB}ISHED 1873 AUTO CRASH ' BISMARCK, NORTH DAKOTA, S. ’ ATURDAY, OCTOBER 29, 1927 FAT THE BISMARCK TRIBUN Serious Charges Are Made by Survivor of Steamship Mishap BOAT DECLARED UNSEAWORTHY; WAS LAST TRIP Officers Were Negligent, _ Wealthy Belgian Claims— Crew Became Drunk LETTER IS MADE PUBLIC Boat Lacked Proper Number of Lifeboats, He Says—Wild Scenes Described Rio Janeiro, Oct. 29.—(AP)—Sur- vivors of the’ Principessa Mafalda disaster today were bound for new homelands in Brazil and the Argen- tine, sorrowing over the loss of some 300 companions on the trip from Italy. Horrors of the foundering of the boat were recounted and charges of negligence, inadequate life saving equipment and a ship in bad condi- tion were aired. Georges Grenade, a wealthy Bel- gian resident of Buenos Aires, made public through the correspond- ent here of La Nacion, of Buenos Aires, a letter which he said he had sent to the Italian royal maritime commissioner at the latter’s request. Grenade, a first class passenger, wrote: Officers Negligent The commander and officers were negligent in complying with their elementary duties, for had they act- ed with energy they could have sub- dued the frantic immigrants and the work of saving the passengers could have been carried out normally in five hours. i The Mafalda did not have a suffi- cient number of lifeboats aboard to save all the passengers, for when the boats were filled only 500 pas- sengers were accommodated. (The Italian embassy has stated that there was room in the lifeboats for 3 persons; the Mafalda carried 6. 1,256. “The engines of the Mafalda were not in gaod condition leaving Genoa, as it had been estuvlished that the ship was detained several times at sea. Tried to Cancel Sailing “The captain had full knowledge of the bad condition of the ship, for it has been established through the indiscretions of some employes that attempts were made to cancel the sailing. “The commander and the first en- gineer confirmed that this was to be the Mafalda’s last South Ameri- can trip, She was to be sold for Mediterranean cruises, for her condi- t' . did ot permit long voyages.” Grenade charged that members of the crew became drunk after the dis- aster occurred, that the ship was looted by steerage passengers and stewards, and that there was a wild scramble for boats which could not be halted. A che kup of survivors in various Brazilian ports accounted for 963 perscns, leaving 293 dead or missing.

PROSECUTION © RULED AGAINST ON TWO POINTS > Two Decisions in Fall-Sinclair Case Are Disadvantageous to Government. Washington, Oct. 29.—7)—With 10 days of bitter legal skirmishing behind, the Fall-Sinclair conspiracy trial came today to its weck-end pause. Counsel for the government, leok- ed back on two decisions from the bench distinctly disadvantageous to its cause. Both involved the laying of important evidence before. the jury; one the source of $230,500 in liberty bonds reached M. T. Ever- hart, Fall’s son-in-law ard business associate, shortly after the Teapot Dome lease was signed, and the other Sinclair's statement before the senate investigating committee that his renowned “Christmas visi to Fall at the latter's New Mexi ranch in 1921 wr; for the purpose of opening negotiations for aélease on the Wyoming naval oil reserve. uestions Bitterly Debated Both questions were taken under advisement by Justice Siddons after much acrimonious argument. In the former the court upheld Everhart’s contention that to tell from whose hands he received the bonds would tend to incriminate him in the same conspiracy charged against Fall and Sinclair, and that in declining to give this evidence he was acting within his constitutional rights. Justice Siddons also ruled the Sin- clair statement inadmissible be- cause the oil operator was under oath at the time it was made and an act of congress forbade the use of evidence laid before congres- sional investigating committees in subsequent court actions. Any por- tion of Fall's or Sinclair's testi- mony to the committee, fmade when they had not been sworn, could be laid before the jury. Government Wins a Point Government counsel looked with satisfaction, however, upon its suc- cess of yesterday in connecting Sin- clair directly with the Continental Trading company, Ltd., of Canada, which at one time held the bonds that eventually reached Everhart. Through former Serator Charles S. Thomas of Colorado, the govern- ment showed that Sinclair took part in a conference called for the pur- pose of negotiating the purchase of a huge quantity of oil from A. E. Humphries of Denver by the Conti- nental company. Sinclair, Thomas said, acted as co-guarantor of the contract which subsequently was executed.

Brings Many Returns, Favor- able and Otherwise INDIANAPOLIS MAYOR’S CHAIR | |One Candidate Suggests That Nine Judges Be Allowed to Select Mayor Indianapolis, Ind., Oct. 29.—(AP) —A new side to the many-faced mayoralty situation in Indianapojis was turned uppermost today when Joseph L. Hogue, city controller in the administration of the late Lew Shank, presented mpromise ,plan under which all claimants for the mayor's office would waive their claims and agree to let the nine judges of Marion county courts s lect a mayor. With two active “mayors” and two more in the off- ing, including Hogue, ,the proposal gained some attention. Hogue said that the legal qualifi- cations of any candidate for the mayor's office would not be decided for six months or more as the case would have to be finally decided by the state supreme court. Chicago, Oct. 29.—(AP)—-A dash iof George M. Cohan’s “Grand Old! Flag,” a touch of Stephen Decatur's | “My Country, Right or Wrong,” and} a taste of opera bouffe seasoned | Mayor Thompson’s “America First” efforts today. His appeal for support of the “America First Foundation,” with a $10 membership fee, brought many returns. Some were complimentary. Not a few were condemnatory. Sev- eral were ironic. The plea for membership in the foundation, a national, patriotic or- ganization, “for better citizenship, ‘on loyalty, with a nation- wide educational program to teach the constitution of the United States and respect for our form of govern- ment and a thorough knowledge of its fundamental laws,” was tele- graphed to mayors, congressmen, senators and governors. “Fee” or “Free” Alfred M. Phillips, Jr., mayor of Stamford, Conn., wired back, charges collect: “Did you say fee or free?” No reply was received. Again he wired, also tolls collect, cautioning Mayor Thompson that “the tricky British” might have “some pretty mean propaganda against him in ‘Alice in Wonderland’.” The Stamford mayor quoted from that book the story of the old man, feriticized by his son for standing on jhis head, whose answer was: “In my youth, I feared it might injure the brain, but now I am perfectly sure I have none.” Another reply from Congressman Emmanuel Celler, Brooklyn, N. Y., read: “Were flee not so enthusias- tically misgui in your campaign against anything British and were it not for your raid on the Chicago li- brary, I might consider your propo al seriously, but your anti - British mania’ a eats x00 Picea in the eyes of int nt people. A Hot Rejoiner To which ever Thompson re- joined telegraphically: __ “Sorry you wasted so much money in such a long telegram and if you are not permit me to it that you should not use the Judge's Ruling May Help The muddled situation will be partly cleared up today, however, with a ruling by Judge Joseph M. Milner of the supreme court on an netion suit filed by Claude E. Negley, appointed mayor by the city council, asking an order restraining others from interfering with his as- supmtion of the office. The city council, in apopinting Negley mayor, held that Duvall’s conviction barred him from holding ublic office. The basis for Ira M. olmes’ claim was more complicated. Duvall secretly mailed his resigna- tion. to the city clerk Thursday, his wife, Mrs, Maude E. Duvall, as city contraller, becoming mayor. She appointed Holmes city controller and 15 minutes later also resigned, Holmes then becoming mayor. Despite Negley’s contention in the injunction suit that Holmes was in- terfering with him, there was no indication of this in the mayor’s of- fice yesterday. The two got along famously, sitting side by side at the mayor’s desk and making separate appointments for the same offices. Takes Court Action Hogue filed quo warranto action in the Marion circuit court a week ago, claiming that he was mayor by reason of the fact that he was city controller in the last administration, Hogue claimed that Duvall’s election was illegal and that the Shank ad- ministration continues in office. Shank died several weeks ago leav- ing Hogue the only legal claimant to the office, the suit set forth. * Friends of Walter Mayers, Du- vall’s Democratic opponent in the | mz he is the rightful mayor.

The band concert was the first of its kind given at any state educa- tion as: ion meeting. Directed by L. right, Valley City, and composed of the best players from North Dakota high schools, the band was enthusiastically received. Plans are under way to make the concert a regular feature of future conventions. ies Told State's Possi North Dakota's industrial and cultural po: lities were dis- sterday afternoon’s held in the house chamber pitol. ng on “Our Chief Indus- try,” Dr. John Lee Coulter, pres ident of state agricultural col- lege, pointed out that agriculture must be the mainstay of this state. Urging a carefully worked out nature study program for school children, to start in the primary grades and continue through hig! school, with gradually increasing emphasis on agricultural phases, Dr. Coulter said he thought such a program would de much toward appreciation of the possibilities of North Dakota. Pottery Making Demonstrated The making of North Dakota pot- tery was demonstrated by Miss Margaret Cable, ‘Grand ‘Forks, who used a potter's wheel and molded several pieces in ‘connection with her talk. She explained how pot- tery-making had progressed and averred that North Dakots clay will make as fine pottery as any to be found. In support of this conten- tion, she exhibited some articles made from clay found in this state. Commercial possibilities in pottery making are great, she suid. L. P. Dove, Minot, spoke on “In- dustries and Our State,” and told of the natural resour bined with proper equable rates, he said, should some day make this state important in- dustrially. Profits of farming in North Dakota were cited and the develop- ment of the industry traced in a talk by M. B. Chase, St. John, pres- ident of the Norta Dakota Fur Pro- ducers’ association. Value of Music Cited Music, when used as material to be worked over and not as a play- thing, contributes strongly to the mental strength of school children, W, F. Webster, superintendent of the Minneapolis public schools, told delegates at the closing session Fri- day night.

FORT LINCOLN SOLDIER SAVED AFTER BURIAL Cave-in Entombs Private—Is Rescued After 20 Minutes F by Companions Buried alive yesterday morning while digging a trench for a new water line at Fort. Lincoln, Private Gustave F. Beahler, Company I, Fourth Infantry, is back at work today none the worse for his har- rowing éxperience. » Beahler, with six other men under direction of Sgt. George Lester, all of Company I, was attempting to locate an old pipe line which the new trench was to join. He had sunk his section of the trench to a depth of even feet when a portion of the trench wall caved in, burying him to the waist and pinning him so he could not escape. Shielded Beahler Seeing that another section of the wall was about to cave in, Sgt. Lester jumped into the trench and shielded Beahler with his body, so that when the secord slide occurred only the earth which sifted around the sergeant fell on the man. This vas, however, sufficient to bur Beahler’s head with .wo feet of soil. et. Lester immedi .tely began digging with his h , and other members of the fa‘igue detail at- tempted to use their shovels. A shovel, however, .truck Beahler in the shoulder; and as his cry could be plainly heard through the muf- fled earth, only bare-handed digging was continued. Sergeant Lester be- lieves the man’s head was uncovered within two minutes of burial, but it took more than 20 minutes to re- lease him entirely from his acci- dental entombment. “It seems like a hundred years,” Beahler states. “I couldn’t breathe and I couldn’t even move my head.” Captain John R. Oswalt, of the medical corps, examined Beahler shortly after the accident and pro- nounced him uninjured. The medi- cal officer stated it was remarkable that the man had not, in struggling, filled his nose and lungs with earth.
