A. NORTH DAKOTA'S OLDEST NEWSPAPER ESTABLISHED 1878 RESCUE PA House Ready to Adjourn--Senate Fights PROPONENTS OF BILL FACE FILIBUSTER Hope to Delay End of Session Until Saturday If One Develops LONG SESSION IN SIGHT House Cleans Up Important Bill Calendar — Would Quit Tomorrow og Washington, May 28.—(—Con- gress entered the last lap of its turbulent, hard-working session to- day facing conditions similar to those of the closing days of the sixty-ninth legislature—the Senate battling over Boulder canyon dam and the House with nothing but little bills to clean up before ad- journment. The House already has voted to close down for the summer and fall at 5 p. m. tomorrow, but its adjourn- ment resolution faced a severe test today in the Senate, which was to vote upon it after the regular first two hours of business. Confronted by a filibuster, pro- ponents of the Colorado river devel- opment legislation were ready to de- lay the end of the session until next Saturday at least, but whether they had the strength to win in this ma- neuver was doubtful. As a last resort to obtain a vote, the Boulder dam advocates were prepared, in event their adjourn- ment postponement attempts fail, to keep the Senate in continuous ses- sion until whatever time is fixed for quitting. Should this develop and the House time of 5 p. m. tomorrow is approved, the body would have another marathon session of 29 hours, an hour and a half short of the sitting last week which saw os comer of a filibuster a jorris-Morin government operation of Muscle Shoals bifl. The House, which cleaned up its important bill calendar Saturday with disposition of the tax reduction measure, also ran into the possibil- ity of a meeting today that would carry it well into the night. Meeting at 11 a. m. it planned to remain in session for 12 hours if need be to dispose of several hun- dred uncontested measures, unless an adjournment is taken out of re- spect to Representative Butler of Pennsylvania, who died here Satur- day Many Bills to Die in Hopper With vote-delaying tacta mar- shaled against not only the Boulder canyon dam measure, but against the $274,000,000 administration naval building bill should by any chance the former legislation be dis- posed of, little hope is entertained for final enactment of the last flock of House little bills. The Boulder dam and naval bills are the only ones of the list of major (Continued on page two) o——_—_——__—_—_"* | Weather Report —————__ Temperature at 7 a. Highest yesterday Lowest last night .

BANKS Governor Commends Efforts of North Dakota Bankers Along That Line Governor A. G. Sorlie has joined the North Dakota bankers in their effort to force the Bank of North Dakota to redeposit its funds with banks in this state. Commenting on a passed at a recent meeting of tl Missouri Slope bankers at Mandan, the executive said: “I am glad the bankers realize that we can use our money at home. The idea of depositing the surplus funds of the Bank of North Dakota in other North Dakota banks is what I have always advocated. Several years ago I suggested the matter to the state industrial commission. It is possible, however, that the indus- trial commission may change its mind. Keeping our money at home would insure adequate finances for our people who are trying to build up the state.” At the close of business on Dec. 31, 1927, the Bank of North Dakota had $7,588,316.48 redeposited in banks or trust companies outside of the state, C. R. Green, manager, said today. Only $23,000 was on rede- posit in North Dakota banks. THOUSANDS COME TO BISMARCK FOR ____ CHRISTY’S BIG FIVE-RING CIRCUS ; Well patronized and everyone gar- buf he still is a circus fixture. equines, waiting for Here are some of the circus drivers and riders. Throngs Crowd Streets as Big) Parade Goes at Noon—Many Attend Afternoon Perform- ance—Second Show Will Be- gin at 8 o’clock Tonight Circus day, to the kids the big- gest day of the year, not excepting Fourth of July or Christmas, is here today, marking the first visit to Bismarck of the Christy Brothers big five ring wild animal circus, the largest circus in the world that still retains the always looked for street parade. From everywhere within a wide radius people have been driving to town to see the circus. Throngs of people, old and’ young, gathered early in the business district and al- though it was entirely too soon, grew impatient because the street parade did not put in an appearance. They jammed the sidewalks, streets were filled with cars and the roofs of buildings as well as tc'ephone and telegraph poles were used as vantage poinis to get an unob- structed view of the big pageant. Scenes of circus day were enacted as early as 9 o'clock when the crowd began to arvive and the cir- cus street men began to display their wares. Soon vari-colored balloons were bobbing in the breeze, fond mothers bought little rubber elephants for the kids, some pre- ferred the rubber snakes and blue birds on a stick met with a ready sale. The merchants profited by the coming of the circus, particular- ly the restaurants and the ice cream parlors. Drug stores were nered in a few extra dollars . that were not left with the ticket sellers out at the show grounds. The cir- cus spent quite « sum with the lo- cal merchants, all of the feed being purchased here by the 24-hour man, so called, who came here yesterday and had delivered this morning, two tons of hay, 75 bushels of oats, 1000 pounds of bran, four sides of beef for the animals, 509 loaves of bread at the cook house, half a dozen crates of eggs, and twenty gallons park and make stand, bleachers, etc., to the Mr. Larson is now has invested, to say nothing k and Mandan, to which tick- n al- July 18th will be orators will under way. bail. team will. be in im- Respectfully submitted, Kiwanis Club— of ice cream for the candy stands. | There. was a truck load of groceries delivered to the show’s steward early this morning and all of the 500 employes of the big show spent some money in local stores.

Doctors today reported that the boy had sustained a fractured skull and severe internal injuries. His condition was rrave at noon, The accident occurred on Fourth street directly in front of the Harris and Woodmansee store. The boy in his coaster wagon shot out of the alley under the wheels of the car which passed over portions of his body, according to witnesses, The wagon was completely demolished. Miss Slater was traveling at a slow rate of speed, according to witnesses, and stopped within 10 feet. Warren is the son of Mr. and Mrs. John J. Elhard, 418 Ninth strect. ANTI-SMITH FORCES ARE VICTORIOUS Come Out Ahead in Democrat- ic Precinct Meetings Held in North Carolina Charlotte, N. C., May 28.—(?)— A victory for the forces opposing Governor Smith has been won in the Democratic precinct meetings over the state preliminary to the June 2 primary, the county conventions, and finally the state convention set for June 12 when delegates to Hous- ton will be selected. Returns tabulated by newspapers from 84 of the 100 counties having a state convention vote of 1869 to- day showed Representative Cordell Hull of Tennessee leading Smith by 154 votes. The vote was: Hull 533; Smith 379; uninstructed 652; doubtful 103; anti-Smith 96; instructed to vote for a dry candi- date 36; Governor McLean 6, to be selected at a mass meeting June 9, 64, While both the Hull and Smith camps are claiming large blocks of state convention delegates from counties in which precinct meetings gave no instructions, and many are known to favor one or the other candidate, the fact that every Dem- ocrat is eligible to attend more than one county convention makes the situation an involved one. Indications today were, however, shops. The circus has its own elec- tric lighting eystem, and carries a force of expert mechanics. There are with the show more than 500 people and they represent almost every nationality. There ar> Chin- ese who do marvelous slides in the cireus, Porto Ricans, famous acro- bats, who think nothing of turning somersaults, Mexican wire who stand on their heads on wires strung 30 feet in midair, a Spaxish girl who does a whirl of death with a flying trapeze, and imals who ow of four and six pond the to the ground, biff, iss, each one ition. that the hot battle being waged be- tween the Smith and anti-Smith groups would continue to be fought toe to toe right up to the June 12 conveition. With the exception of Winston- Salem and Charlotte, Governor Smith carried most of the larger cities of the state in the precinct voting. Winston-Salem _ favored Hull delegations and Mecklenburg and Charlotte counties generally voted “anti-Smith,” but without naming any special candidate. WILL MANAGE WABEK ELE- VATOR Parshail.—L. A.

Luetzow Holm Will Carry on Air Search in Hydroairplane SHIP HELD BY ICE FLOE Amundsen and Sverdrup Aid in Preparing Relief Expedition By the Associated Press) The fate of the dirigible Italia was still a mystery today as rescue efforts were rushed in Norway and Spitzbergen. Lieutenant Luetzow Holm, Nore wegian air ace, started for Spitz. bergen with a hydroairplane ta carry on an air search along the north and northeast coast of the archipelago. The sealer Hobby will carry the plane to Kings Bay as soon as possible, Roald Amundsen and Captain Otto Sverdrup, noted polar explor= ers, aided the Norwegian authorities in preparing an auxiliary relief exe pedition on a large scale with Cap- tain Riiser-Larsen in corfimand. The base ship Citta di Milano put out from Kings Bay yesterday but was held up by ice floes, The steamer Braganza put out from Tromsoe to assist the Citta di Milano. Oslo was the center of all sorts of rumors regarding the possible fate of the Italia but none of these could be confirmed. Efforts in California to pick up further messages believed relayed from the Italia, saying that the ship had met with disaster, were fruit- less. The messages first reported yesterday are believed to have been relayed at Vladivostok. The Italia was six and a half days out of Spitzbergen today, last defin- (Continued on page two) DR. W. E.
