s- a NORTH DAKOTA'S OLDEST NEWSPAPER ESTABLISHED 1873 DIRIGIBLE ITALIA LOST IN POLAR Farm Relief Le _—_ CAMPAIGN NOW WARMING UP IN NORTH DAKOTA Frazier Seems to Be Favorite Candidate As Race Gets Under Way GETS LOTS OF SUPPORT Dissension Exists Among I. V. AJ’s—Nonpartisans Settle Differences They're at the post in North Da- kota’s biennial state election classic. And it’s the same old horse race. There are no overnight entries and if there is a favorite in the fiel” it probably is Senator Lyna J. Frazier, who formally begins his eae campaign at Wahpeton, Monday night. North Dakota is a strongly Re- publican state. So far as national affairs are concerned the issue is sharply defined in farm relief, tar- iff revision and revision of grain grades in this state. Endorsed by the Nonpartisan League wing of his party within the state, which has always voted solidly for him in his campaigns for reelection, he is the beneficiary of much support from Republicans, who while not agreeing with the Nonpartisan Teague find the Inde- pendent faction less acceptable. Announcements ef support for him come from many unexpected sources, Gerald P. Nye was the first beneficiary of this sentiment two years ago. It is apparently in- creased in the present campaign. Republican leaders in the state hope for a reunited party, free from factional differences. They are pav- ing the way for this day with con- sistent support of Senator Frazier. Nestos at Disadvantage Former Governor Nestos is placed in a most disadvantageous position by this condition. He is made to appear simply as an office seeker striving to realize a long-cherished ambition. His mistakes have not. been forgotten. Neither have Sena- tor Frazier’s. But they have been forgiven. Furthermore, Mr. Nestos is re- ceiving rather shabby treatm |; in his own camp. The Independent newspapers are paying little atten- tion to his candidacy. There is an apparent disposition t concentrate on the electior of Shafer for gov- ernor and upon the Independent can- didztes for the industric] commis- sion. If there is a Jonah to be thrown to the whales in the Inde- pendent camp it ~ppears that there is tacit agreement as to who it shall be. It is Mr. Nestos. He has a reputation as a vote get- ter and a large personal following of warm friends. ‘How far they will be effective in overcoming this sit- uation is problematical. Meantime the practical men at the head of the two campaigns were busy ironing out differences and ap- plying the arnica to old sores. Differences regarding who shall be in charge of the campaign of the T-vublican candidates endorsed by the Nonparti.an League were ap- parently settled at a conference of (Continued on page two) f Weather Report ; —_—_—_—_——_—_—_—_"* ‘Temperature at 7 a. m. 51 Highest yesterday .. 87 Lowest last night .. 50 Precipitation to 7 a. m....+--. 0 Highest wind velocity ........ 18 Bottineau Crosby Dickinson Dunn Cente: Ellendale ien 84 58 Repl City 78 opi ie.

SENIOR CLASS 18 WINNER OF KLEIN DERBY Sets Record Time of 29 Min- utes, 40 Seconds for Run from Mandan The seniors of Bismarck High to- day won the annual Mandan-to- Bismarck relay race for the E. B. Klein trophy in the record of 29 minutes, 40 reconds. The sopho- mores were second in 30:55, juniors third 31:0, St. Mary’s fourth in 31:50 and freshmen fifth in 33:45. From the time that Neil York, lea. off man for tht Seniors, took a message from the hands of C. D. Cooley, mayor of Mandan, until Duane Davis gave the message to A. P, Lenhart, mayor of Bismarck, the supremacy of the champions was never challenged. Almost a half mile separated the seniors and the juniors at the fin- ish. It was an advantage that was gained foot by fot over the six- mile distance of the Memorial high- way. The preponderance of track stars on the winners’ team was decid- ing factor. Eight men who have earned track emblems carried the baton, They were York, Rubin, Moule, Helgeson, Quain, Faber, Landers, Rober’ -, Brown, Sell, Del- zer and Davis. The new mark established today displaces the 1925 figure of 33 min- utes flat. The Message The greetings of Mayor Cooley follow: “In pursuance of the custom in- augurated by the annual Bismarck- Manday relays, I wish to extend to the citizens of your city the greetings of the citizens of Man- in. “From year to year it is encour- aging to note the increasing friend- ship between cur two communities, with the destinies of the two cities linked togetber by virtue of their proximity to each other it is highly desirable tha: this friend- ship should continue and be con- stantly fostered and enlarged. “I think I can assure you that this entire community 1s as much inter- ested in the growth and welfare of Bismarck as ars the citizens of your city, and it is our sincere wish that your splendid development will con- tinue u-abated.” Tax Collections Set New High Mark Tax collections of almost $1,000,- ited the money in the hands of the state treasurer to a new high mark as of April 30, according to a report by State measured | Treasurer C.

THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE BISMARCK, NORTH DAKOTA, SATURDAY, MAY 26, 1928 SENATE FAILS TO REPASS BILL BY FOUR VOTES Three Republicans and One Democrat Change Votes to Uphold Veto CURTIS IS ONE OF FOUR Delegations Will Present Farmer's Attitude at Kansas City Convention Washington, May 26.—(P)—A change of votes by three Republi- cans, one a presidential candidate, and a lone Democrat, today prevented the senate from overrid- ing White Hou.e disapproval of the McNary-Haugen farm relief bill. In sustaining President Coolidge’s veto of the measure yesterday, 31 to 50, the Senate lacked just four votes to obtain the required two- thirds majority for repassage. the four senators who voted for the bill when the Senate passed it a month ago, 53 to 23, not switched to uphold the veto it would have been overridden. But this assistance was not forth- coming and farm relief legislation thus was killed for the present ses- sion. Curtis Switches Over Senator Curtis, Republican, Kan- sas, a candidate for the Kansas City nomination, was one of the four former supporters of the bill to go over to the president’s side. He ex- plained afterward that he felt it) was his duty, as Republican leader of the senate, to uphold the execu- tive, “much as I sympathize with the ers and much as I favor legislative relief for them.” Senator Curtis wss the author of two farm relief measures long be- fore congress until the McNary- Haugen bill was approved. The other three senators who formerly voted for passage and helped sustain the veto were Sackett, Kentucky, and Waterman, Colorado, Republicans, and Fletch- er, Florida, Democrat. The senate’s action yesterday constituted the first showdown on the McNary-Haugen bill between the president and congress. No attempt was made last year to override the president’s first veto, which, for its severity of denuncia- tion on grounds of unconstitutional- ity, ranked almost on a par with the veto message sent to the capi- tol three days ago. 3 The Roll Call With party lines thus divided, the vote found 19 Republicans and 12 Democrats voting to sustain the veto 29 Demoerats, 20 Republi- cans, and the Jone farmer-labor sen- ator lined up for repassage. Four Republicans were aired for the veto with four Republicans and four Democrats against it. Those voting to pass the bill over the veto were: Republicans: Blane, Brookhart, Capper, Couz- ens, Cutting, Deneen, Howell, John- son, LaFollette, McMaster, McNary, Norris, Nye, Oddie, Pine, Robinson of Indiana, Schall, Steiwer, Vanden- berg and Watson—20. Democrats: Ashhurst, Barkley, Black, Brat- ton, Broussard, Caraway, Copeland, Dill, George, » Harrison, Hawes, Bayeen, Heflin, Kendrick, Losher, McKellar, Neely, Overman, Pittman, Robinson of Arkansas, Sheppard, Simmons, Smith, Steck, Stephens, Thomas, Wagner and Wheeler—29. Farmer-Labor—Shipstead. Total—60. Those voting against passage were: Republicans: Bingham, Borah, Curtis, Dale, Edge, Fess, Gillett, Greene, Hale Keyes, McLean, Metcalf, Phipps, Reed of Pennsylvania, Sackett, Shortridge, Smoot, Warren, and Waterman—19. Democrats: Bayard, Blease, Bruce, Edwards, Fletcher, Gerry, Glass, King, Swan- son, Tydings, Walsh of Massa- eats. and Walsh of Montana Total 81.

Taking his wife to the hos- pital, Elmo Solem’s car stalled at Hamline avenue and Ran- dolph street. Hurriedly calling a police ambulance Solem made an efort to outdistance the stork, but the bird was not to be denied, and an infant who tipped the scales at nine pounds was born in the brand new po- lice car. Mrs. Solem has not decided whether to name her son Roy, in honor of Dr. Roy Schancke, the police surgeon, or Art, in honor of Art Courtney, ambu- lance driver, who assisted the doctor. Both the infant and mother were doing nicely this morning. KRAFT SEEKS ELECTION TO SCHOOL BOARD William Harris Not to Seek Reelection—Register Makes No Statement | ' William T. Kraft, manager of the Knife River Coal Mining company, is the only person who has so far filed as a candidate for election to the local school board at the annual election Tuesday, June 5, according to R.

'wenty-five new oil companies have entere dthe state during the last Liat and those already estab- lished have erected mary new fill- ing stations, accordig to C. S. Ladd. state chemist, who tests all oil and gasoline to see that it meets the standard set by law. Gasoline shipments received in the state during the three-month pe- riod from January 1 to April 31 this year were 5,000,000 gallons in ex- ces. of the figures for the same pe- riod a year ago, the department’s records show. Shipments of kero- sene during January and February decreased 354,898 palluns as com- pared with the first two months of 1927. A tabulation showing the number of gallons of kerosene and gasoline tested by the department follows: Gasoline— 1927 1928 January ... 2,755,523 2,521,557 February .. 4,253,731 5,768,674 March ..... 4,296,298 6,858,907 Kerosene— January ... 898,591 651,531 February .. 1,511,808 1,493,970 The difference in cost between kerosene and gasoline is no longer sufficient to warrant the use of kerosene in tractors and more mod- ern lighting equipment is replacing the old style kerosene lamp in many North Dakota farm homes. “Persons using kerozene in trac- tors find it necessary to use gasoline to start their machine,” Ladd said, Raa Ory, few farmers bother with rosene for power purposes.” oil into gasoline is rapidly tak- ing kerosene off the woarket, Ladd persons paying use riencing difficulty in ite supply.

At a_ conference rday at which the supposed of agree- ment was outline jan, sec- retary to Govern Sorlie and Nonpartisan candidate for auditor, was appointed to make whatever an- nouncement should come from the meeting. He had nothing to say last night. Today he went into a conference wtih himself and emerged with the statement that he still had nothing to say but that an announcement probably would be made later, The basis of agreement, it was rumored, provided for the elimina- tion of R. A. Kinzer as campaign manager and recognition of the rights and powers of the Nonparti- san executive committe , headed by R. W. Frazier of Crosby, but that Frazier agreed to name someone as campaign manager who would be acceptable to the candidates for state offices. The fight, which started several weeks ago and which has held U. S. Senator Lynn J. Frazier here for a week in a hitherto vain effort to iron out the difficulty, resulted from the development of open antagonism be- tween members of the executive committee and Kinzer. Announcement of the basis of the agreement, it was_ indicated, has been held up pending the arrival of Fred Argast of Moffit, vice chairman of the executive commit- tee. R. W. Frazier was the only member of the executive committee who took part in yesterdayq’s con- ference. Kitchen Swamped by Requests for Talks J. A.

Anyway he feels that meeting the people as he does is more effective than an out-and- out cam Kitchen was first elected in the recall campaign in 1922 and has been re-elected at each subsequent election.

Plelae at the 4 After 6 Days in Mine Found by Rescue Workers About Two Miles Back in Mine and Seems None the Worse for His Experience— Escape from Deadly After Damp Is Miracle Mather, Pa. May 26.—(AP)— Entombed for more than six days in the ruins of Mather mine, after an explosion there last Saturday after- noon, John Wade, 38, a negro coal loader, today was reunited with his wife and three children after having been mourned as dead. He was found sitting in butt 24, north working, about two miles back in the mine, by rescue teams seeking the remaining dead, early last night. Butt 24 is practically half a mile from the right face rooms where the explosion took place. Seemingly none the worse for his experience, he was taken to an emergency hospital. Physicians said that, barring danger of pneu- monia, he was physically sound. He said he had wandered about the workings and had lived on contents of miner’s food buckets he found in various sections of the mine. How he escaped the deadly after damp that swept the explosion torn mine was a mystery. Officials in charge of rescue crews ure of the opinion Wade luckily followed air currents. He had been underground 146 hours. The disaster took a known toll of 174 lives with several workers unaccounted for. News of the rescue of Wade spread rapidly through the village. Mrs. Wade rushed to the mine tipple. On iving confirmation of her husband’s escape the “widow” be- came hysterical with joy. Spurred on by the finding of Wade, additional rescue squads to- day were searching every recess in the mine. While they held no hope of finding others living, they deter- mined to spare no effort to explore each butt from the botton. of the shaft to the three-mile limit of the working in each direction. Are Women Slaves? . Speakers Disagree Chicago, May 26.—()—Modern women are (1) slaves and they are (2) not slaves. Miss Esther Dun- ahee, former president of the Wom- en’s Bar association, says one thing and Prof. T. F. Tout of the Univer- sity of Manchester the other. Both spoke last night, though in separate audience auditoriums. Miss Dunahee said wives and mothers work long hours without pay be- cause the law puts them in that position, She said discrimination against women exists in all depart- ments of human activity, business, professional and political. Prof. Tout, on the other hand, held that women are much better off now than in the days of chivalry, so-called. So little did women count then, he said, that men didn’t bother will pay tribute to 18 Civil] } even to make provision for them in the building of castles.

Kings Bay, Spitzbergen, May 26, Out of Spitzbergen more than 80 hours, the dirigible Italia at 5 p. m. Spitzbergen time, (11 a, m, eastern standard time) was lost in the icy polar regions, with fears for her safety increasing hourly. Quick to respond to an Italian re- quest for assistance, the Norwegian government promised every aid. Roald Amundsen, famous Norwe- gian explorer, was reported in con- ference with government officials to head a relief expedition. Last word directly from the Italia, received at Spitzbergen more than 36 hours ago, told of the ship fight- ing fog and adverse winds, her speed being cut seriously. Today the wind had veered and was blowing from the north. ._, Fuel Exhausted Spitzbergen advices indicated the fuel would have been exhausted at 4 o'clock this morningg. The Italia could remain in the air under favorable conditions a least two weeks and carried enough food for the 16 men in the crew for a month, as well as emergency equip- ment should a landing on the deso- late ice cap be necessary. The belief in Spitzbergen was that the ship was drifting towards the Siberian coast although it was possible she may have drifted past spiterergen towards Norway in the log. Ship to Take Up Search The base ship, Citta di Milano, was preparing to sail tonight to search for the dirigible. It will probably proceed eastward around south cape, Spitzbergen. The wireless operators of the Cit- ta di Milano continued ceaselessly efforts to get in touch with the Italia, but_were unable to make any contact. The airship has a reserve ith an ocumulator which can yen though the motors are not operating and this fact has served to make the airship's long silence incomprehensible to the crew of the base ship, Sister Ship of “Norge” The dirigible Italia, which was built by General Nobile who is an expert in dirigible construction, is a sister ship of the “Norge” in which Nobile flew over the north pole in 1926 with Roald Amundsen, the Norwegian explorer, and Lin- (Continued on page two) NEW EXPLOSIVE IS DISCOVERED Radium Is an Important In- gredient—More Powerful and Effective Pasadena, Cal May 26.—(F)— A new explosive, of which radium is an important ingredient, today was reported by military professors of the California institute of techno- logy, to have shown itself to be 30 per cent more powerful than T N T and 15 per cent mare effective than commercial dynamite, in official tests conducted at the college. , Tests of the explosive, which was invented by Captain H. R. Zimmer of Los Angeles, former army offi- cer, were conducted by Lieut. Col- onel L. M. Adams, professor of mil- itary science at the institute. An ounce of each of the three explosives was placed in three separate lead » and their comparative power determined by measuring the ex- Pansions created by the explosions, Representatives of the institute's paverve alice draining. corps and of commercial powder conce: ~ fees the et ice ptain Zimmer refused to allow the institute scientists to analyze the explosive, declaring that he be- lieved the United States war de- partment might wish to maintain secrecy of its formula.
