D., May 30—R. A. Nestos, Republican candidate for ea totes: senator endorsed by independents, should: be proud of Hod aaron a ted tao home town. fo man in No. ‘ota politics ever had better. No man ever had more enthusiastic support from his friends, Whether the eagles of victory crown his standard on primary elec- tion day or whether he comes home upon his shield they will still be loyal to-him. They are that kind of friends, C. D. Aaker, Minot attorney, is in charge of the Nestos campaign w Ward county. He is very confident. § He predicts Nestos nomination by a big majority and he declares the en- tire Independent ticket will get the same majority. Nestos old time friends are going about his paign locally with all the enthusiasm that marks every undertaking in Minot. They are or- ganizing carefully. They have sent the candidate in- to the southern part of the state to visit his old time friends. He w: in Richland county Monday, whet the normal Independent majorities were badly cut both at the prima: and the gerieral election two years ago. Personal Contact Sought They reason that in this cam- paign nothing will be quite so ef- fective as personal cgntact. Nestos popularity among his friends here is a fine tribute to him. They ad- mire him for his citizenship. They point to the fact that he is clean. They are making a big and an ef- fective effort ‘n his behalf. They are pointing to the fact that in the matter of farm relief Nestos antedates McNary, Haugen and all others in his practical in- terest. Aaker in fact is able to take the Nestos record on farm re- lief back in the before-Adam era. He shows that in 1923 Nestos said at a public meeting: “We should revive th> United States Grain Corporation or create some organization similar thereto, with adequate powers to segregate the American surplus and to dis- pose of that surplus in the markets of the world in the best possible way.’ Frazier Attacked Nestos’ friends here are attacking Senator Frazier for the fact he, was not in Washington when the final vote was taken on the Mc- Nary-Haugen bill. They point to his speech in the Congressional Record, the record that it was de- livered to only a few listeners and that at its conclusion some one arose and suggested that all the senators would be the better for a little fresh air. Nestos’ friends deny that Ward county and Minot especially are not enthusiastic for his candidacy. They confidently assert his majority: here| tained will be bigger than ever. Quite another story comes from those who ar* opposing Nestos, however. They are responsible for a most interesting story of a basket picnic at a Minot park a week ago last Sunday. Professional men and their families, business men three bankers were in the group. The talk ran to politics. The dis- H.| cussion was such as good neighbors member of : Little Falls.

ABDUCTOR AND SLAYER PLANS INSANITY PLEA 26-Year-Old Taxi Driver Con- fesses Strangling 7-Year- Old Girl to Death Toledo, O., May. 81.—(®)—An in- sanity defense for Charles J. Hoppe, 26, taxi driver, who confessed the abduction and slaying of 71-year-old Dorothy Sielagowski, was forecast today as the county grand jury took over the case. Hoppe’s confession came late yes- terday after questioning that began with his arrest Tuesday night. Po- lice said he admitted that, \while under the influence of liquor 8 ob- at a wedding cele mn, he drove to the Siclagowski home, forced an entrance, kidnaped Doro- thy from her bed and strangled her to death after a criminal attack. Hoppe was suspected because he had roomed at the Sielagowski home.

In an open letter to the Nonparti- san and Independent campaign man- agers, C. C. Talbott, president of the farmers union in this state, asked that all state campaign activities be suspended during the week from June 10 to 17 to permit farmers, candidates and others interested to attend the national Republican con- vention. The idea of suspending state ac- tivities, it was explained by i. Ricker, farmers union official, is to concentrate attention on the fight for farm relief at Kansas City and to, permit state candidates to join in the demonstration. Another idea, he explained, is to permit farmers to go to Kan: ‘ity with the assur- ance they will not miss anything at home while they are gone. To Protest Veto The main objects of the pilgrim- age, Ricker said, are to protest the veto by President Coolidge of the McNary-Haugen bill and to stage demonstration against the nomin: tion of He Hoover for th presidency. The matter of the pilgrimage has been presented to the 602 locals of the farmers union in this state and these have been asked to hold county meetings June 9 at which they will decide who can attend the conven- tion and what transportation is available. The present idea is to go in automobiles, four men to a car. Mercer and alba Sooty au ready are organizing for rip, he said, and Ricker expects the pil- to amount to an exodus of HOLDUP NETS $200,000 AT INDIANAPOLIS Roaring Road Fans Celebrat- ing at Country Club Lose Money and Jewels Indianapolis, Ind, May 31.—(®%)_— In one of the most spectacular hold- ups ever staged here, six men late last night held up about 200 guests at a Speedway Day dinner dance at the Broadmoor country club just northwest of the city limits and escaped with money, jewelry and other valuables, the total value of which, club officials said, w tween $150,000 and $200,000. Several of the city’s most prom- inent businessmen and department store owners were among the vic- tims. The dinner dance was held in connection with the annual 500-mile race at the Indianapolis motor speedway yesterday and many out of town guests were present. It was said the club members and their guests were wearing much valuable jewelry. Just as the dance was in full progress, four men rushed in the main door and forced A. S. Lubell, club manager, to hold up his han Two men with sawed off shotgu rushed into the ballroom and wit! several companions guarded the en- trances and forced all of the dancers and other guests to line up against the wall. The guests were then ordered to toss their jewelry, watches, billfolds and all their pocket money into a large canvas bag. Halls and rooms were searched by the bar for guests who might have hidden. Several shots were fired into the ballroom over the heads of the guests when some became unruly and women became frightened. After about 30 minutes in clubhouse the bandits made their exit in an orderly manner and sped times from some districts.

D., they would meet a motorcade from Minnesota and the group then would proceed to Omaha, Neb., where it would meet delegations from Iowa and Nebraska. The entire group then would go to Kansas City under the leadership of Governor Adam Mc-| 4 Mullen of Nebraska, who originated the pilgrimage idea. To Oppose Hoover At Kansas City the northwestern farmers would join with those from other states in a demonstration fav- oring farm relief legislation and opposing the nomination of Hoover. “There is no question but that this movement is one oppo! to the nomination of Hoover as well as a demand for farm relief legis- lation,” Ricker said. “The farmers of the northwest, especially those who grew wheat during the war, are unalterably opposed to Hoover. From what I hear it is my judge- ment that if Hoover and Smith are the opposing nominees Smith will carry North Dakota and would stand a good chance of carrying Minne- sota.” Governor A. G. Sorlie has been invited to head the North Dakota Pigeon to Kansas City, Ricker Governor A. G. Sorlie said this morning that he would accept the invitation to head the North Dakota pilgrims. “You bet your life Yl be there,” the executive told the s. “If they want me to go along I inly shall do it.” R.A.

The couple filed notice of inten- tions to marry last week but kept the wedding date secret.

General Jose Alvarez Dismissed by Calles Mexico City, May 31.—(7)—Gen- eral Jose Alvarez, chief of staff of President Calles, has been dis- missed from that post on charges: of having betrayed’ the president’s confidence by smuggling large shipments of silks into Mexico un- der the protection of Calles’ name. The announcement of the general’s dismissal, which was made over the signature of the president, created a sensation. General Alvarez was arrested and lodged in a cell at police headquar- ters and it was predicted that there will be a greater sensation when the public learns of this. The morn- ing papers today decided to with- hold news of the arrest, awaiting an icial statement on it. Calles’ announcement said: “To my great surprise and undoubtedly to that of the country, one of the highest state officials and a prom- inent member of the army, General Jose Alvarez, chief of my general staff, who enjoyed my friendship and confidence, has betrayed the elementary principles of honor and morality not only by directing the introduction of a large shipment of contraband but also by using my name in telegraphic orders to pro- tect the contraband and to insure himself immunity.” _ 2 8 Police Killers Pay Penalty on Scaffold London, May 31.—(?)—William Henry Kennedy and ir arrest and conviction after the murder of the constable in BUNE | “Perfect Crime” i Plan Fails GS: pa ihe Weather ; artly cloudy to cloudy tonight, Friday fair to partly cloudy.

In his spe-ch at the Gettysburg battlefield yesterday, the president urged less indifference to crime, condemned what was described as tendency of legislatures to exceed authority granted them by the con- stitution and declared that although greater sums are being spent for the maintenance of American mili- tary establishments they were “ex- ceedingly moderate” and purely de- fensiv> in character.

President Coolidge as yet has not decided the exact date of his depar- ture, but it wah said today that he would leave Washington as soon as possible after June 11 when he is scheduled to deliver the budget speech here. Home on Island The estate surrounding the sum- mer White House comprises several thousand acres mostly wooded but the actual living quarters of the president will be situated on a small island little more than an acre in area reached from the mainland by a narrow footbridge. The living quarters on the island consist of a one story bungalow of white birch bark and comprising eight bedrooms. The dining room, kitchen and servants quarters are in a corresponding bungalow on the mainland at the opposite end of the footbridge. The estate is at an approximate altitude of 1,000 feet. It commend- ed itself to Mr. Coolidge, it is un- derstood, for the good fishing that is reported in the Brule river. In addition the temperature is cool, thus meeting another of the require- ments for a summer presidential residence. . Bungalows Are Available Woods cover most of the estate The estate is and mn the mainland. crisscrossed by many walks trails. Is Pretentious Estate Equipped with all modern con- veniences, the estate of Henry Clay |Pierce, New York financier and one time Partner of John D. Rockefeller, is ranked as one of the most preten- tious in Wisconsin. Mr. Pierce died last year. The president will be afforded ab- solute privacy in the estate. Good graveled roads lead to it, but the home is set far back in among the trees, down in a deep valley of the Brule. More than 25 wild deer live in the several hundred acres estate. Estimates here place the value of the Pierce estate at more than a million dollars and local reports have it that the cost of keeping up the place is nearly $100,000 a year. Fish Abound Fish abound in the Brule river, which is called one of the best trout, streams in Wisconsin. The presi- dent will have many opportunities to fish either in the stream or in nearby lakes. Brook trout, speck- led trout, rainbow and steelheads are found in the Brule and to catch 10 pound rainbows or steclheads is not uncommon. The estate has_a private ion on the line of the Duluth, Southshore and Atlantic railway The presi- dent may get to the twin ports of Superior and Duluth in slightly more than one hour over 34 miles of good roads. The village of Brule is six miles away. From Superior or D: luth it is an overnight ride to Cl cago or a three hour ride to the Twin Cities by direct rail routes. Duluth and Superior combined have a population estimated at 150,000. If the president chooses to go canoeing, he may follow the Brule down to Lake Superior or trace its headwaters through timbered coun- try. ‘Most of the estate has been cleared of underbrush so that walk- ing is easy. There are many paths and shady spots along the bluffs above the river or down in the val- ley. Several trout pounds have been made close to the river banks. : Is ‘Show Place’ The Pierces have owned the prop- erty for a number of years and it has been o.e of the “show places” of northern Wisconsin.
