His ete at of call will be Bal- boa, Canal Zone, where a day’s stop will be made so that he may inspect the Panama Canal. * Beyond that the itinerary has not been announced, but it is known that the president-elect desires to visit all of the Republics on the western coast of South America. Whether he will be able to accept the invitation of Bolivia to visit that country, will be determined, Mr. Hoover and his_ party will leave Palo Alto next Sunday on a special train and go directly to San Pedro, the port for Los Angeles, where the battleship Maryland will be boarded and the journey south- ward started around noon of No- avember 19. The Maryland is now in dry dock at Hunter’s point, on San Francisco Bay, for the necessary recondition- ing for the voyage. She will leave San Francisco late next Saturday for San Pedro to refuel there for the long run to Valparaiso, Chile: where the president elect will pro- ceed across country to Santiago and then to Buenos Aires. Repaira Damages ‘After the hull has been cleaned and painted and some repairs made to minor damages she suffered at San Pedro recently when she was side swiped by a foreign steamer, the Maryland will sail for the south- ern port to refuel and there await the president-elect and his party who will go from Palo Alto to San Pedro by rail. During the voyage to ‘Chile Mr. Hoover will occupy the admiral’s piuite, located in the extreme stern Yof‘the ship under the quarterdeck. This suite is a sumptuous one, con- sisting of a large reception room, a dining room, a bed room and a private bath with a separate small sitting room. These quarters will be equipped with all the necessary facilities for the president-elect to carry on the great volume of work he must do on the voyage. Will Prepare Speeches This work will include the prep- aration of the speeches he is to deliver in the first South American Republics he visits, The president-elect will be accom- pated by his young son, Allan, and is secretary, George Akerson, as well as representatives of the state gensctment and a sizable corps of jewspaper correspondents and a few camermen, Although Mrs. Hoover has accom- panied her husband on all of his s2ampaign trips, it is not likely that she will make the southern Ameri- can journey with him. She probably will remain at her home here and rejoin the president-elect upon his arrival in Florida early in January. WT, ETNA STILL POURS OUT FIRE Molten Lava Remorselessly Del- *% uges Country on 2,500 Foot Front ' 4 Giarre, Sicily, Nov. 12.—()—Mt. Etna, now in the eleventh day of a devastating period of eruption, was still remorselessly pouring out a huge flow of lava today, although there were signs that the deluge was slackening somewhat. The main lava stream this after- hoon was advancing on the Carrabba front over a width of 2,500 feet, with the likelihood that this would be in- creased at this point by masses of qynolten rock pouring in over the plain of the destroyed town of Mas- cala, which no longer offers an ob- btacle to the destructive onrush. Latest reports from the danger front said that the stream was only about 100 feet from the Messina- Catania highroad, its southern flank advancing about six and one-half feet an hour and continuing to bite into the outskirts of Carrabba to the southeast. « Most of the destruction thus far thas been in the areas north of Giarre, which is on the southeastern fringe of the devastated zone. Mas- cali has been destroyed, Nunzidta| Mi; purtly damaged, and now the town of Carrabba is eerie to suffer. Early Sunday morning there were loud earth rumblings, which ‘were followed im'mediately by a series of explosions which hurled up quantities of stones and bright mes.

STEWART TRIAL JUROR ALLEGES BRIBE ATTEMPT Senator Nye to Be Prosecution Witness Against Standard Oil Head Washington, Nov. 12.—(#)—A jury was obtained today for the per- jury trial of Robert W. Stewart, chairman of the board of the Stand- ard Oil Company of Indiana, after one of the prospective jurors had told Justice Jennings Bailey that he had been approached yesterday by a young man wanting to know whether he would “shold out” in the case. Composed of nine men and three women, the jurywas declared ac- ceptable by counsel for the prosecu- tion and defense without either side having exhausted its ten peremptory challenges. One of the talesmen ex- cused was Robert N. Caldwell, who said under examination by the court that a man named McGinnis had called upon him at his home and talked about the trial. Outside the courtroom Caldwell said later the man had asked whether he was a Catholic, whether he knew Hogan, and whether he would “stick to- gether with the rest.” Leo A. Rover, district attorney, said the incident would be investi- gated. During the luncheon recess Caldwell was confronted with a man named McGinnis who was thought to answer his description of the vis- itor, but he did not identify him as the man. Counsel for the govern- ment and defense both denied knowl- edge concerning the visit Caldwell outlined. ‘The incident developed early in the selection by Justice Bailey of a jury to try Stewart on a perjury indict- ment of three counts based on testi- mony by him before the senate pub- lic lands committee during the Con- tinental Trading company phase of the Teapot Dome investigation. Stewart is alleged to have testified that he knew nothing of the Con- tinental company its transac- tions, although he had_ received $759,000 in bonds from that. com- pany. The defense challenged Caldwell as a juror and he was removed from the box. Roxer announced that the prose- cution witnesses would include Sen- ator Walsh, of Montana, Senator Nye, of North Dakota, Ingram Mack, assistant clerk of the senate committee, and three of the senate stenographers who took down the oil man’s testimony before the investi- gators.

He lauded the services. Of General Pershing and Admiral Sims, detailed the economic results of the war and what he considered its “spiritual” benefits, reiterated his stand for the maintenance of adequate naval defenses and entered a fervent appeal for a constitution of world peace. Declaring that the question of America’s duty to Europe had re- ceived a wide discussion on both sides of the Atlantic, Mr. Coolidge asserted that America had acknow!- edged the existence of such duties and had tried to meet them. Defends Isolation Policy “They are not all on one side, how- ever,” he said, “they are mutual. We have sometimes been reproached for lecturing Europe, but probably ours are not the only people who sometimes engage in gratuitous criticism and advice. We have also been chargd with pursuing a policy of isolation. We are not the only people either who desire to give their attention to their own affairs. It is quite evident that both of these claims can not be true. I think no informed person at home or abroad would blame us for not intervening in affairs which are peculiarly the concern of others to adjust, or, when we are asked for help, for stating clearly the terms on which we are willing to respond.” Mr. Coolidge said that the Ameri- can position could “truthfully be characterized as one of patience, consideration, restraint and assist- ance.” He declared that we had ac- cepted a settlement of obligations not in accordance with what was due “but in accordance with the merciful principle of what our debtors could pay,” that, when asked, America has given advice and for constructive purposes has given of its resources at the same time refraining from all unsought intervention or interven- tion which it was thought would be ineffective. Preparedness Necessary “We can have military prepara- tion without assuming a_ military spirit,” he said. “It is our dut ourselves and to the cause of ci zation, to the preservation of dome: tic tranquillity, to our orderly and lawful relations with foreign people to maintain an adequaté army and navy.” Mr. Coolidge estimated that with what has already been paid out and what is already apparent for the fu- ture, the final cost of the world war to America will be nearly one hun- dred billion dollars. To this he add- ed an assertion that “whatever may BISMARCK, NORTH DAKOTA, MOND.

Both the president and the presi- dent-elect, McNary said, were agreed that the farm question required im- mediate attention, and, therefore, he added, he would exert himself to the utmost to have farm legislation approved by the short session of congress without awaiting the spe- cial session which Herbert Hoover said he would call, if necessary, im- mediately after inauguration. Senator McNary ‘said that his chief duty at present concerning Muscle Shoals, was to determine the exact status of the bill, which was approved in the closing days of the last session and to which the chief executive failed to sign. MeNary will consult the attorney general and other authorities to de- termine whether the bill became law or was actually vetoed. Senator Norris, of Nebraska, sponsor of the measure, maintains that despite the lack of Mr. Coolidge’s signature the bill became law. On the result of ! Senator McNary’s inquiry in this matter will depend whether he will move to have a Muscle Shoals mea- sure introduced anew in congress or whether the same bill will be recon- sidered by congress. Senator Reed, Republican, Penn- sylvania, who also called at the White House, said he believed it should be possible to enact farm legislation at the forthcoming ses- sion of congress. Reed declared the equalization fee pine was out of consideration. le added that he had urged Presi- dent Coolidge to increase the tariff on plate glass the full 50 per cent al- lowed under the flexible provisions of the tariff act.

GRIDIRON TITLE Members of Championship Eleven Vote Not to Play Williston DEMONS’ RECORD BEST Behemoths Win Eight Games, Lose None, Score 231 Points in Season The *Bismarck Behemoths have battered their way to the unofficial interscholastic football champion- ship of North Dakota. With their backs to the wall, the Mandan Braves Saturday flung the last gage of battle into the victorious trail of the Demons who rode rough- lee to triumph by a score of 19 to 7. Members of the Demon football team this morning voted not to play Williston for the unofficial state championship. C¥ach Roy McLeod had left the proposition to the boys for dec Williston has been dickering for the game for the last two weeks, Coach Joe Cutting feel. ing that, in view of the fact that Williston has been undefeated in three of the last four seasons, a play- off should be scheduled this year. In making their decision not to play the Coyotes, the Bismarck youths declared that Williston was not entitled to recognition, having played only one strong team and one minor team in the state this year. The Demons felt that th victories, as compared to Williston's record, should give them the undis- puted claim to the championship honors, Bismarck has also had a hard sea- son, which has been particularly tough during the last month, while the northerners have not played for three weeks. Williston’s record follows: ayauseon 106, Plentywood, Mont., Williston 60, Wolf Point, Mont., 7. Williston 13, Miles City, Mont., 7. Williston 75, Mohall 0. Williston 20, Minot 13. Strewn along Bismarck’s gridiron high road lie the wrecked hulks of seven elevens who were ruthlessly trampled underfoot by the Capital City juggernaut as it rolled up 231 points to its foes’ 19 in eight games. The 1928 record reads: Bismarck 90; Linton 0. Bismarck 12, Mandan 0. Bismarck 7; Fargo 0. Bismarck 13; Minot 0. Bismarck 51; Mobridge 6. Bismarck 26; Jamestown 0. Bismarck 13, Valley City 6. Bismarck 19; Mandan 7. Twice did Bismarck’s hereditary enemies, Mandan, wave a traditional jinx flag—that the Braves have the Indian sign on the Demons—in the face of the Big Maroon. Twice did Bismarck seize the jinx and crush it. The football song is ended but the title melody lingers on. 283 HAVE MORE THAN MILLION Ten Persons Count Income at More Than Five Million, U. S. Shows Washington, Nov. 12.—(P)—Two hundred and eighty-three individuals in the United States counted their incomes for 1927 in seven figures, and of these ten received more than $5,000,000. The bureau of internal revenue is sponsor for these statis- ties, which were made public today in connection with its annual report on income tax returns. Incomes of more than a million dollars were reported for 1926 by 231 persons, with the 1927 figures showing 52 additions to this select class. But while there was an in- crease in the total receiving a mil- lion or more, there was a drop in the number reporting incomes of cor2 than $5,000,000. Ten reported such incomes for 1927, while there were 14 for the statistics for 1926. ASSASSINS KILL 6 SOVIET HEADS Moscow, Nov. 12.—(P)—With six Soviet officials, including a woman, assassinated during the last week, the Soviet newspapers today were demanding immediate and drastic punitive measures, The newspaper Pravda said that the violence was growing, particu- larly in the rural districts, where the grain collections and heavy taxa- tion of rich peasants have made these peasants desperate. Three rich peasants were sentenced to death and scores were being held today awaiting trial. The newspaper Izvestia printed dispatches from various loealities re- porting the murder of. officials, breaking i ete ings, and the burning of Soviet libraries. A shot was fired through a win- dow of a library at Sclaroda, killi @ woman communist who was ner ing in the building. A driverless horse returned to the home of a Soviet official near Briansk.

POTATO YIELDS ABOVE AVERAGE EXPERT STATES Rate of 25.5 Bushels Per Acre Brings Corn Production to 24,000,000 Bushels Potato yield in North Dakota is higher this year than in any year since 1914, flax yield is one-half a bushel below that of last year, yield of corn is estimated at 24,200,- 000 bushels, and the byckwheat yield at 160,000 bushels, according to the nionthly statement of Paul C. New- man, agricultural statistician of the U, S. department of agriculture, is- sued today. The average yield of corn is esti- mated at 25.5 bushels per acre. “North Dakota potatoes are yield- ing above expectations, and the av- erage state yield of 105 bushels is the highest since 1914,” Newman said. “Notwithstanding the prevail- ing low prices, it is believed that most of the North Dakota crop has been dug, except in areas where the crop was damaged to a considerable extent by excessive rains and other causes, Elsewhere, due to good yields, excellent quality of the crop and ideal weather conditions prevail- ing, digging has gone forward to practical completion. Good Quality Insured “Culling in the field and close grading by buyers insure the excel- lence of the crop marketed this year. ‘he total production on the basis of planted acreaZe is now placed at 11,865,000 bushels. “The North Dakota crop has yielded only 7.1 bushels to the acre this year, which is the same as the | 10-year average, but over a half! bushel less than last year’s crop. The October 1 estimate of yield was 7.8 bushels. With the beginning of threshing the disappointing outturn of the crop became apparent. No general cause for the poor yield has been reported, but it has been variously attributed to rust, wilt, blight, and weeds, and is the result of all these in varying degrees. With the practical completion of threshing the final average yield re- Ported is 7.1 bushels, which is only one-tenth bushel more than the July 1 estimate, made when the ef- fects of the long early spring drought were most apparent.

Warmer PRICE FIVE CENTS | AS ATLANTIC LINER SINKS LAUNCH BOATS — IN ROUGH SEAS AFTER SINKING Ships Racing to Rescue of Pas- sengers and Crew Afloat in Tiny Craft SILENCE SHROUDS SCENE Cause for Disaster 250 Miles Off Hampton Roads En- veloped in Mystery New York, No . 12.—(AP)—More than 300 men and women, some of them with little children in their care, were forced to trust their lives to tiny life boats @n the wind tossed north Atlantic today when the Lam- port and Hol: Liner Vestris keeled ~ over on her beam ends and began to sink. They were faced with hours of waiting as the wintry wind whirled their cockle shells of boats through the water and they watched the ship in which they had but a few hours before been so luxuriously housed sink below the waves, about 275 miles from Hampton Roads. Early reports that the Japanese steamer Ohio Maru was standing by were definitely contradicted by later advices and it seemed probable that the coast guarddestroyer Davis, due at the scene at 5 o’clock this afternoon, would be the first to ar- rive. By that time it was feared the little boats might be scattered and that approaching darkness would seriously hamper the work of rescue. First word of the distress of the Vestris came in an S O S call short- ly after 10 o’clock this morning ana at once a dozen tteamers and num- erous government craft turned from their paths in a race to the rescue. The wireless of the Vestris contin- ued brief messages until 1:25 thir afternoon, at which time the radic operator announced that he woulé be able to send no more and was therefore joining the passengers and crew who had already taken tc the boats. Silence Holds Secret From that time on there was si- lence, and no more information wa:_ jossible until one of the rescue joats should reach the scene. The messages received from Vestris told of the great danger described the ship before the passe gers left her as lying on her sid¢ with the decks awash, but noth. ing was said as to the cause of her distress, apparently there had been no collision, 2s ne other ship was mentioned and the most widely held theory was that, tossed by waves still running from a week-end storm, the Vestris had shifted cargo to such extent that the ship had been twisted sideways un- til the seas ran into her. Although the weather was report: ed by Captain William Carey, of the Vestris before the ship was aban- doned as “moderately rough,” there were indications that conditions were more serious than the word “mod- erate” would generally suggest to 3 landsman. The steamer Santa Barbara re: ported that she would not reach the scene of the sinking ship until sev. en o'clock this evening and the Radic corporation reported that she woulc (Continued on page two) GRIDIRON STAR I$ NEAR DEATH Northwestern Fullback Shot After Automobile Accident Argument Chicago, Nov. 12.—(#) —Gang- sters ended John Archer’s celebra- tion of Northwestern university’s football victory over Purdue and sent him to a hospital with a bullet in his back.
