Allen, di-|. rector of Republican publicity, has accused Chairman John J. skob and the Democratic national commit- tee = RF raph cyt a ieee to suppo! ae attacks upon Governor Alf of his religion may be traced to Re- publican campaign officials. In a statement issued for publica- tion today Allen denounced suspected “frame-up” the documents made public by Raskob as part of an open letter to Chair- man Work of the Republican nation- al committee, which: the Democratic leader declared proved that his charges were true. Moreover, Allen charged Raskob with “an obvious effort to make the widest use of bigotry in his own campaign, while denouncing its pre- tended presence in the Republican See He declared, too, that Raskob had given tacit approval to attacks on Herbert Hoover because of his Quaker faith. “Case Is Frame-Up’ Referring to the documents made public by Raskob, Allen said that all the affidavits they contained were made upon the same day, and that one man had denied making an affi- davit which Raskob had attributed to him. These considerations, Allen said, arouse “the suspicion whole case is a ‘frame-up’.” He characterized as “a mere mask to hide his own mud-guns” Raskob’s early appeal for a clean campaign. Allen asserted that “the pretended meeting” between klan and Republican leaders in New Jer- been “easily traced to Dem- ocratic headquarters in Philadel- phia,” and thet-en-“attack* ef ‘the: most vicious character was lat by the Demoeratic regional commit- tee at St. Louis upon Mr. Hoover's’ religion.” In the latter connection he charged that “this Democratic committee, which is a part of Mr. Raskob’s organization, circulated thousands of copies of this attack”. and that Raskob “approved the cow- ardly thing” by silence. Bitterly Flays Raskob “There has never been, in the his- tory of American politics,” “Allen id, “an outburst of political big- otry such as has been in evidence under the auspices of the Tammany national committee during the last days of this campaign.

It is a police theory that she had in- tended to meet Hitchcock, who is also night watchman of Lake Bluff, at the station. Visits Dyi Girl “Hello, Fritz,” Hitchcock said to the dying girl. . Mi naak looked him full in the face, but did not speak. He asked her several questions the authorities had prepared: “Why did ‘you do this terrible thing? Who Jet you.into the police station?

Whether she was the dupe of hallu-| cinations which caused her to inflict the injuries upon herself or was the victim of assault is the question po- lice are trying to solve.

Clings to Story Throughout her hours in the hospi- tal Miss Knaak had clung to her original story of faith in a “spirit- love.” Even when doctors told her she had but a few hours to live, she refused to smplity her explanation. ,, Authorities had doubted her story; it seemed impossible. At first it] Rou was thought she might have been the victim of a madman’s attack, but there were no facts to substan- tiate such a conclusion. At evel turn of the investigation, when offi- cers tried to fathom a plausible ex- planation, they were forced back to the girl’s own story of self-immola- Still officers were puzzled.

E. Groom, chairman of the agricultural committee of the association, an- nounced today, following conferences of county agents, bankers and busi- ness men in the territory. The entire time of Martin Apland, livestock buyer for the association, will be given to this project, and active cooperation was promised by the county agents and stockmen. County Agents R. C. Newcomer of Mandan and A. R. Miesen of Bis- marck are in charge of local ar- rangements. According to the plan worked out for this sale program, it is planned to supply the needs for pure-bred sires on farms in the territory south and west of Mandgn and south of Bismarck, particularly in the coun- ties of Emmons and.Logan and Mc- Intosh. Surveyed Territory Martin Apland, livestock buyer for the association, and the county agents spent two weeks in the terri- tory visiting local stockmen having stock which they will put into the first sale. It is planned to hold the first sale at the livestock pavilion on the fair grounds at Mandan the latter part of November. For this sale from 60 to 75 head of young bulls and a few heifers will be secured. In ad- dition to the local stock that will be included in the sale the Greater North Dakota association, with the aid of the F. E. Murphy revolving fund, will buy one or two carloads to complete the quota wanted and in- sure a representative lot of. young breeding stock of all of the leading breeds of cattle. This sale will include Holsteins, Guernseys, milking Shorthorns, beef Shorthorns, Herefords, and Angus. This lot of cattle will be carefully selected from the best herds in North Dakota, with some Guernseys and milking Shorthorns from Minnesota and Wisconsin. It will not be highly fitted show stock, but all animals will be in good thrifty condition, well bred, tested, and sold at actual cost from breeders plus necessary han- dling charges. ‘ First Lot Sufficient It is believed that the first lot of cattle assembled at Mandan will pretty well supply the needs of the territory within trucking distance of Mandan and Bismarck. Following that sale more cattle will be assem- bled, if conditions warrant, and these will be distributed at other points in the territory where breed- ing stock is wanted and where the insufficient to meet “This sire project means a it deal to this section of the statee de clares a joint statement issued by Fred L.
