SATURDAY, MAY 5, 1928 THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE PAGE SEVEN PEASANTS WANT REGIME CHANGE AT BUCHAREST Thousands Will Participate in Great Referendum at Alba Julia Alba Julia, Rumania, May 5 (®)—Aroused from their eastern lethargy, a vast horde of Peasants was plodding into this city today to voice a widespread demand fer a change in the regime at Bucharest. Many of them are illiterate, the majority know nothing about poli- tics or government, but they are keenly sensitive to wrongs and eager to participate in the great national referendum of the National Peasants party tomorrow, which will express the will of 15,000,000 Peasants who constitute the back- bone of Rumania. This meeting will protest against the liberal gov- ernment of Vintila Bratianu and Juliu Maniu, leader of the Peasants party, has promised to give them a better government. Such a tremendous meeting is un- paralleled in the history of Rumania, but neutral foreign ob- servers believe that it will be a long time before the Peasants par- ty realizes its aims. The Bratianu regime exercises complete political mastery and has ironclad control over the nation’s productive life. Its firm grip grasps all the treasures of the country, including rich oil fields, coal mines, forests, fisheries, foundries and factories, granaries, water power, transportation, banks and great corporations.

Girls Employed by Syndicate to Pass . Fraudulent Checks Philadelphia, May 5.—(®)—Two young women arrested here today told police they were employed by 8 syndicate which uses girls to pass fraudulent checks. They said the syndicate had operated in New York, Chicago, Pittsburgh and other ati which aggrevated his ailment cities. The prisoners identified them- selves as Betty Todd, 23, of In- dianapolis, and Dorris Pamsay, 21, of Martinsville, Ind. The girls said that eight others; had been brought to this city, with two men supervisors. These men, upon going into a city, opened accounts in various banks. Shepherdsville, Ky., —One woman was shot to death and three other women and two men were wounded seriously early today in what officers believe was a revenge attack by moonshiners whose stills recently had been raid- ed_by prohibition agents. Mrs. Kate Browning was shot down as she fled from her home at Brownington settlement, about .sev- en miles from here, after the build- ing had been set afire. Three sis- ters and two sons of the sisters also were shot as they fled from the burning building. The attackers appeared at the Browning home soon after mid- night, officers said, and after set- ting fire to the house waited under cover for their victims to appear. The four women were said to have furnished prohibition men with the information that resulted in raids on several moonshine stills in the neighborhood recently. Bullitt and Nelson county officers investi- gating the case had made no ar- rests this morning. CROP REPORT The weather generally throughout the northwest has been favorable for farm work during the past week and rapid progress has been made in seeding, according to the weekly crop report issued by the - Van Dusen Harrington eompany of Min- neapolis, The ground has frozen at night in the northern districts and this has delayed field work to some extent. There has been a few local show- ers but no general rains. High winds have been experienced in South Dakota and Minnesota the past few days, drying out the top soil, and moisture is needed to germinate some of the late sown grain. In southern Minnesota and South Dakota, the seeding of wheat and other grain is practically completed. Early grains are up and the stand is good. ¥Varmers are plowing and prepar- ing the soil for corn planting, which will probably start the first part of next week. In many sections an in- creased acreage is contemplated. There is apparently no scarcity of seed corn. We have some reports as to the effect of frost on early sown oats, but little damage has shown. We have not heard of farmers reseed- ing oats or barley, In the Red River Valley, central and southern North Dakota, wheat seeding is about 90 per cent com- pleted, and a large part of th coarse grains are in the ground, In the northern districts of North Da- kota, and in eastern Montana, wheat seeding varies from 50 to 75 per cent completed, and in central Mon- tana, 50 per cent is done. Winter rye is showing an uneven appearance, due te winter-killing. Our reports dnticaia. tant, elas ti some places will probal e plows up and used for other ea In the winter wheat sections of Montana the reports are generally favorable, although in occasional districts there is damage due to winter-killing. It is too early to form an opinion as to the flax acreage as this will depend largely on weather condi- tions during May. As a summary, we believe the situation is about normal, although there has been no general spring rains and the weather has been too cold for proper germination until the past few days. Seed has been put into the ground in good shape, and with another week of warm weather, seeding throughout the northwest should be completed well within the average tim GLADSTONE CLUB WILL BUILD HALL Gladstone—Members of _ the Knights of Columbus club of Glad- stone recently voted to sponsor the eres of a community hall at an estimated cost of $8,000. the structure will begin as soon as arene farming operations are completed.

Devils Lake Youth Commits Suicide Devils Lake, May 5.—()—An anxious mother was still waiting for her son to come home early this morning, when Sheriff E. F.

This station and shortage here has driven me to it. Tell mother, but don’t do it too fast for I didn’t go home last night at all.
