ESTABLISHED 1873 BISMARCK, NORTH DAKOTA, TUESDAY, MAY 8, 1928 ROBBERS GET $16, Former Crown Prince of Rumania Is Ordered Out of Englan HIS ACTIVITY IS EMBARRASSING, OFFICIALS SAY Carol Announces That If Pres- ent Plans Fail He May Go to America STRONG SUPPORT HERE Manifesto Says He Is Only Awaiting Call to Re- turn to Throne London, May 8.—(AP)—Sir William Joynson-Hicks, secre- tary of home affairs, told the house of commons today that he had caused Prince Carol to be informed that his presence in England was no longer welcome and that he should terminate his visit without delay. The home secretary said that he had taken this step after consulta- tion with Sir Austen Chamber- lain, the foreign secretary. London, May 8.—(AP)—The Brit- §sh government today ordered for- mer Crown Prince Carol of Rumania to leave the country. Recent Carolist activities have become too embarrass- ing, the government decided. Carol intimated that he might go to America. He admitted it a manifesto had been printed in Lon- don saying that he awaited only a call from Rumania to return to as- sume the throne in place of his 6- year-old son, King Michael. Copies of this manifesto, he said, had been sent to America sometime ago and were ordered distributed on Saturday. “I have had no fi ance from Ameri “But I have strong support there. It is possible that if my pians fail I shall visit America.” The manifesto was also to have been distributed throughout Ru- mania by airplane, but the British government, learning of this plan, iiceley the planes from leaving ingland. An Expulsion Order Police were on guard today at the Surrey estate where Carol is stay- ing and the morning papers said that the government's decision, which was in effect an order of expulsion, had been communicatetd to Carol shortly after midnigh: by three Scotland Yard officers. The request that Carol leave was in accordance with the usual pro- cedure when a terete: uses Eng- lish territory as the center for intrigues against a friendly govern- ment. Heads of Rerun eprenument ee artments, including the home an foreign offices, conferred last night and then instructed Scotland Yara to put into operation its usual machin- ery for ridding the country of an unwanted visitor.

VOTE RESULT IN INDIANA HOLDS MUCH INTEREST Strenuous Battle Between Hoover and Watson Con- tinues to Last Minute Indianapolis, May 8,—(?)—The strenuous battle between Herbert Hoover and Senator James E. Wat- son for the state’s 33 delegates to the Kansas City convention and for the Republican presidential prefer- ence vote attracted nationwide inter- est in the Indiana primary today. Senator Watson did not end his campaign until the last minute, ‘hav- ing made a radio address from Fort Wayne last night after having made three speeches in that Hoover stronghold during the day. Kenesaw M. Landes, aged 17, son of Frederick Landes, candidate for the Republican nomination for gov- ernor, traveled from radio station to radio station by airplane making speeches in behalf of his father, who suddenly became ill. Senator Arthur R. Robinson faces a stiff fight in his effort to regain nomination. Solon J. Carter, In- dianapolis attorney, and Attorney General Arthur L. Gilliom have con- ducted vigorous campaigns in an effort to win the nomination. Both have denounced the Ku Klux Klan, which figured in the charges of po- litical corruption in the state, and Carter has declared Robinson is backed by the Klan. Robinson has the endorsement of the Indiana Anti-saloon league. ITALIA WILL START FLIGHT WITHIN WEEK Minor Repairs Being Made While Nobile Completes Preparations Copenhagen, May 8—(?)—The di ible Italia was undergoing re- irs at its hangar at Kings Bay, jpitzbergen, today as General Um- berto Nobile completed preparations to leave for the north pole within a gee % ° ne engine needed repairs, as did the envelope which was torn at the bow when landing at Vadsoe, Nor- way.

Mayo, Chief En- gineer of Ford Motor Com- pany, at Detroit—Both Re- fuse to Comment Regarding Purpese of Visit Detroit, Mich., May 8—(®)—Re- ports that Colonel Charles A. Lind- bergh plans another transatlantic flight, this time over the northern air route to England, the project to be backed by Henry Ford, were re- vived today with the arrival of the famous flyer ostensibly for confer- ences with Ford officials. Lindbergh, accompanied by Lieut. Commander P. V. airport last night after an unan- nounced flight from New York and immediately went into conference with William B. Mayo, chief en- gineer of the Ford Motor company. Only a few mechanics were at the field when the flyers arrived and after indicating they would be here for a few days, the two hurried to the Ford offices and later accom- panied Mr. Mayo to his home. Mayo, together with William B. Stout, is in charge of aeronautic activities of the Ford company. Neithr Colonel Lindbergh nor Mr. Mayo would comment regarding the purpose of the visit. The general interpretation in flying circles, how- ever, was that it concerned the re- ported transatlantic project which first came to light when Lindbergh sent friends to the navy department to inquire regarding availability of data pertaining to the northern route. The route, only partly chart- ed, provides landing places at Har- bor Grace, New Foundland; Green- land. Iceland, and Croyden Field, England. Although rumor had linked Ford as sponsor for the reported flight, verification has not been forthcom- ing from company officials, the gen- eral inference being that any such announcement must await the re- turn of Ford from Europe. HAGEN, BARNES, ARMOUR ARE IN BRITISH OPEN Three Americans Sure to Qual- ify—Stupple Doubtful— Nabholtz Out Sandwich, England, May 8—@) —Americans among the early fin- ishers in the second qualifyinug round of the British open golf championship pointed with reason- able pride and viewed with extreme alarm at the same time. Walter Hagen, Tommy Armour and Jim Barnes were safely in, Bob stupple was on the ragged edge and Larry Nabholtz seemed definitely eliminated. Silas M. Newton, ama- teur, in spite of a good round today, was out but he had little hope aftet a 93 yesterday. Hagen’s golf today was no better and not much worse than that of yesterday but his 77, added to his|*ir 76 for a total of 153, placed him safely in the select circle. Armour had to work for his 79 but with yesterday he had little to worry|T® about, and Barnes with 78 today on 74 yesterday was in good po- sition, 160 May Be Qualifying Mark The sick Nabholtz used up needed yesterday, while Stupple’s 80 today was a stroke under his score of the first round. It was thought that 160 might be the highest qual- ifying score with a bare chance that there might be ties at 161. “Si” Newton played i gol today but his return to form was too! cither side of late.. His 76 in the second round with 98 yesterday added up 169, far too many strokes to permit him to remain in the competition. H. C. Jolly, British pro took the lead in the early qualifiers with 73 today. ad 74 yesterday so his aggregate of 147 loomed large on the scoreboard, until Jose Jurado, the Argentine, came in with a sen- sational 69 for an aggregate of 144.

Peking, May 8.—(®)—Concern for Americans in Tsinan, where Chinese Nationalists and Japanese troops clashed with heavy casualties, was renewed today with the receipt of advices saying that fighting had been resumed. The Japanese chief of staff at Tsinan also sent a dis- patch, dated yesterday, saying: “One American missionary killed.” The American legation could not verify this today. A dispatch from Tokyo, reporting the resumption of fighting at Tsinan, claimed it was due to Nationalist aggression. Na- tionalists were stated to have at- tacked the Japanese guard at the foreign commercial district last night in defiance of the Japanese agreement with the Chinese com- manders.

O. P. Nom- inee, Are Already Made New York, May 8.—(?)—Herbert ; Hoover, if nominated by the Repub- eae party as its presidential can- didate, is to make his campaign largely through the medium of the motion picture and radio. Alan Fox, one of the New York Hoover campaign leaders, who made iene announcement after Mr. Hoover had visited the city, said the secre- |tary had approved the plan. Motion pictures showing the sec- retary of commerce’s activities in Belgian war relief, Russian child jfeeding and Mississippi flood relief work are to be assembled into film programs to give pictorial presen- tation of his humanitarian work. Has Advantage Over Others “We are going to fight this cam- pagin with the movies and radio,” Mr. Fox said. “The personal ap- pearance of a candidate on the plat- form is a thing of the past. Mr. Hoover is an admirable radio speak- er and the pictures are a knockout. There is no such opportunity to de- pict in pictures the career of any other candidate.” Ten programs have already been assembled, Mr. Fox said that the radio and moving picture campaign did not Prechage the possibility of Mr. loover also making platform speeches in public. The plan has been conceived, Mr. Fox intimated, with the idea that Governor Smith is to be the Demo- cratic nominee and with the hope of counteracting the governor's adroitness on the stump. It is understood Governor Smith’s ad- visers plan a transcontinental speaking tour for him in event of his nomination as they consider him at his best in personal appearances.

Bids were asked on sewer con- struction on Ninth street south from Front to Bowen avenues, and on Broadway from Fifteenth to Six- teenth streets and Sixteenth from Broadway to Avenue B, These bids will be opened May 28. The city engineer's estimate of cost on the first named project is $1,641.50, while the cost of the sec- ond project is placed at $3,499.25, Action Deferred Asking of bids on the construc- tion of a storm water sewer on Broadway from Thirteenth to Fif- teenth streets, on Sixteenth from Broadway to Avenue B and on Fif- teenth from Broadwa~ to Avenue B was deferred until next week in or- der to determine for a certainty whether any of these sections will be eliminated from the paving pro- ject. Should such streets be with- drawn from the paving job, the storm sewer would not be neces- sary at this time. The engineer's cost estimate on this sewer projecu was $9,289.39. Bids on a light coupe for use of the street department will be op- ened on May 21. An ordinance creating a_ special assessment district for the installa- tion of a sanitary sewer and water main_on Mandan street from Ave- nue D to Avenue E was given its first reading.
