No less than 21 ships id ee on Lloyds lists today as wrecks or in distress while at least one American vessel, the freighter Waban, which sailed from Hamburg on Nov. 16 was driven ashore near Terschelling light but succeeded in getting off in safety. In additio to the 29 known dead there were at least 20 missing with conflicting reports concerning the safety uf a score more. The entire crew of the Italian freighter Sagunto also was feared to have »een drowned off Holland. The number of men aboard her was not known, Six Land Deaths While the gale was violent over the land, only six persons were re- ported killed in Britain. All the other deaths were at sea. Among the shipping disasters were the following: “The French freighter Cesaree, founder off Algiers, 15 drowned, four rescued. A Dutch vessel foundered in the Zuyder Zee, five drowned. The Norwegian steamer Christian Michelsen ashore off Holland, three drowned. The fate of the steamer Arnabal- Mendi of Spain was in doubt off Cape Machichhaco while there was also doubt concerning the fate of the Swedish steamer Garm. The Central News reported that 16 of the crew of the last named ship had been drowned but Lloyds reported that. the Garm, after grounding, was towed into Terschelling with her rudder damaged. The steamer Hjort with a crew of 17, which left Preston 10 days ago for Port Tablot, has not since been sheard from.

Although no .atalities have been reported, the typhoon, which for two asp over the islands and then passed over the China Sea, is said to have left 7,000 persons home- less in the vicinity of Legaspi, Al- bay province. A 100 mile an hour wind there destroyed 400 homes and seven wharves, _ Many towns known to have been in the path of the storm have not yet reported. The Milwaukee was ordered to visit southern Luzon, northern Samar, and the islands of Leyte and Masbate, and make a sur- vey of the loss. She carried 200 sacks of rice and 50 cases of sar- dines. The American cruiser Memphis reported last night that she was standing by the Japanese steamer Saka Maru which went aground in the storm off the island of Masbate.

PRICE FIVE CEN1IS HOOVER’S SHIP |FOUR PERSONS |Famous American Joins President-Elect Eager to Make Contacts With Latin-Amer- ican Leaders TRIP IMPROVES HEALTH San Salvador and Nicaragua to Be Visited in Next 24 Hours by Maryland Amapala, Honduras, Nov. 26,—(#) The U. S..S.° Maryland, bearing President-elect Hoover on a good- will voyage to Latin-America, was sighted off Amalapa at 8:15 o'clock this morning. U. S. S. Maryland, approaching Amapala, Nov. 26.—(4)—President- elect Hoover came today to the shores of Latin-America for the first time to make two of a dozen good- will calls that he will make in Cen- tral and South America for the next six weeks. Amapala, Honduras, and La Union, San Salvador, were Mr. Hoo- ver’s immediate objectives as the Maryland proceeded toward-her an- chorage after a voyage of a week from San Pedro, Calif. Mr. Hoover was eager to get ashore to begin a series uf personal contacts with the governments and The week at Mr. Hoover much in health, was entering upon his zest and the hope that he would be able to do much to accomplish a better understanding among the peoples of the Americas. Save for a storm on Saturday morning in the Gulf of Tehauntepec, the Maryland’s seven-day run from San Pedro had been uneventful. Al- though Mr. Hoover did not stand the storm so well, he had not been seasick, Mr. Hoover expected to reach Amapala before noon, after a six- mile run in a small boat. After luncheon at the Honduras port the schedule called for ney across the Gulf of Fonseca. Ar- riving late in the day at La Union, Mr. Hoover was to be received by all the members of the cabinet of Presi- dent Romero Bosque and Richard Lambert, United States charge d’af- faires. After a dinner as guests of the government of Salvador, the Hoover party will return to the Maryland, which will sail at mid- night for Corinto, Nicaragua, 70 miles “around the corner” and the third port of call on the tour. After a visit to Nicaragua Mr. Hooyer will go to Punta Arenas, Costa Rica, where on Wednesday he will strike inland for the first time on the voyage. He will visit the capital, San Jose, and be welcomed by President Ganzales. Mr. Hoover was grateful that Costa Rica had roclaimed Wednesday a national oliday in his honor. KING RESTLESS DURING NIGHT DOCTORS STATE English Sovereign’s Condition Viewed Hopefully by Royal Household London, Nov. 26——(4)—A nation that had awaited in anxiety over their sovereign’s health the first of- ficial bulletin on his condition today failed to find much relief when hysicians announced that King eorge had passed a restless night. The medical bulletin, signed by the king’s physicians, Sir Stanley Hew- ett and Lord Dawson of Penn, read: “The ki passed a restless night. A vai ity in the fever and the spread of the pleurisy must be expected at this stage of the illness.” Anxiety continued since the state- ment did not reveal anything def- inite about the king’s condition this morning. The statement, however, that at this stage of the illness spread of pleurisy must be expected, and likewise a variability in tem- perature, led to the conclusion by members of the king’s household that, the medical advisers were not _per- turbed over his condition. Their phraseology gave the impression. that the malady in their opinion was taking a natural course. It was gathered that the king’s restless night was due to a rise in temperature that occurred yesterday and was reflected in last night’s an- nouncement that fever had increased. The physicians arrived at the pal- ace this morning earlier than usual, but remained with the king only an hour, as they had done previously, After they left the sickroom they remained some time in the palace talking to members of the royal household.

Potter, indicted by the Burleigh county grand jury last week on a charge of murder in the first degree, is at liberty today pending his trial in district court, $30,000 bonds having been furnished for his release Saturday night. Bonds were originally set at $15,- 000 by Judge Thomas H. Jugh. Four people furnished bonds of $7,500 each, according to Charles Fisher, clerk of court. Those who furnished bonds are H. L. Barchenger, Center, and H. R. Ringoen, New Salem, brothers-in- law of the defendant; L. C. Potter, Elgin, and Cora Potter, Breien, brother and mother of the defendant respectively. At least two parties must furnish bonds, according to the court. Be- cause four parties furnished bonds instead of two, bonds were doubled. The sureties were approved by Judge Pugh. Recommending that every lawful means be taken to collect approxi- mately $40,000 which is due Bur- leigh county in unpaid personal prop- erty taxes and interest and stating that the county courthouse is in “deplorable condition,” the grand jury submitted its report of inspec- tion to the distret court at 5 p. m. Saturday. Declared in Recess The jury was then declared in recess until Dec, 18 by Judge Thomas H. Pugh, Dickinson, of the sixth distret, who has presided over the Burleigh county district court the last week in place of Judge Fred Jansonius. The jury recommends that “if there is not sufficient help in the sheriff’s office to properly force the collection of the persona: property taxes the mee $ commissioners should provide such help.” The state penitentiary, on an i spection tour of institutions Sat day afternoon, was found in “ shape, sanitary and otherwise.” hat the county court house and jail, particularly the women’s cells in the jail, are in poor shape, is the belief of the jurors. The women’s jail was found to have but one cell, in which eight women have been confined at one time, juveniles at times “being con- fined in company with the most hardened criminals.” The floors in the jail were found to be not waterproof, and the cells .| execution until the pup were found to be unsanitary, accord- ing to the report. Arrangement of the jailer’s quar- ters was condemned. The jury de- clared in its report that due to un- sanitary conditions, it was almost impossible to provide the prisoners with sanitary food. Vaults Not Fireproof The jury also found the vaults containing the public records in such condition that they reported “it is safe to say that not one of them is fireproof and that in case of fire, unless there was time to take the records out of the vaults to some other place, every record would be destroyed. “The vaults are not even miceproof,” the report says, “as evidenced by some of the records being destroyed by mice.” The various offices in the court house are overcrowded, the report says, and the walls of the building are cracked, “not only the plaster, but also the entire brick wall.” The jury also reported that they found no “occasion for severe criticism” of the county officers, that “the county commissioners have matters well in hand,” but “that the reports of the state ex- aminer’s office relative to the county offices and officers should be de- livered to the chairman of the board of county commissioners and con- sidered by the full board in the presence of the state’s attorney at the next meeting after such reports are presented to the county.” Belief that even though the ex- nses of the jury will come to a igh figure, the sessions of the body have saved the county money was expressed by W. C. Cashman, clerk of the body, this morning. He said that the jury had dismissed two cases which, if tried in court, would cost the county more money than did the grand jury. Eleven Indictments Returned Eleven indictments, 10 of which remain unannounced, were returned by the jury Saturday night. Harri- son Brooks, Bismarck, was indicted on a charge of rape in the first de- gree. The unannounced indictments make 13 more defendants, according to Charles Fisher, clerk of court. The jury, being in session 21) f1; working days up until Saturday night, examined 325 turned 130 indictments, found ap-. roximately 25 no true bills through investigation, and made more than 49 persons defendants on various charges, according to Mr. Cashman.

Lindbergh was back at his alma mater, Kelly field, for a brief home- coming visit today. The belated midnight announce- ment of his arrival yesterday by air from Tampico, Mexico, set at rest characteristic public concern for his safety, which had been felt over the week-end. The flier, his month hunting and flying vacation in Mexico at an end, is en route to New York for which point. he probably will hop today, perhaps in a nonstop flight. His announcement that he was behind schedule to keep an engagement there led to this surmise. In evident determination to stay out of the limelight while going about his personal business, the colonel did not see newspapermen here and whether intentional or otherwise, his visit remained a secret for eight hours, during which time an anxious vigil was kept in south Texas and fear for his safety was felt in two nations. His First Visit Although he returned to his fa- miliar haunt 330 p. m. to pay his first visit since his graduation from the advanced flying school in the spring class of 1925, word of his arrival did not reach the public un- til after midnight, a few minutes after he had retired. Last Saturday night, Texas and northern Mexico began an anxious lookout for the flier following re- ports that he had left Tampico in the afternoon to return to the Unit- ed States by way of Brownsville, Texas. Two nations barely suppressed general alarm when the Fort Brown meteorological station at Browns- ville reported sighting a ship flying northward, -vhich apparently sud- denly developed motor trouble and turned back toward Mexico. Keep Close Vigil All urday night, the watch along the border was kept up and three planes from Brownsville start- ed at dawn Sunday to scout about 2,500 square miles of the rough country between there and Tampico. Because Lindbergh for 24 hours was out of the public view, various pessimistic possibilities were called up. The scouting planes’ return to Brownsville with the report that they had seen no plane helped to diminish the disquieting rumors, but some persis! Efforts to locate the flier through Mexico City were unavailing cause friends, who had accompanied him to Tampico on a hunting trip, had not returned there. It was announced here that Lind- bergh’s flight from Tampico was le without q stop. Alcohol Kills 1,000 in Illinois in 1927 Isaac D.

Most of the cattle arrived during the day and are now on display at the Mandan fair grounds. Farmers interested are allowed to inspect the cattle today, but no sales will be made until the sale opens tomorrow, it is said. Much of the stock offered for sale comes from North Dakota stock farms, many in the Bismarck and Mandan districts. In addition to the local stock included in the sale, the Greater North Dakota association, with the aid of the F. E. Murphy re- volving fund, has purchased two car- loads of animals to complete the quota wanted in this district. This sale includes Holsteins. Guernseys, milking Shorthorns, beef Shorthorns, Herefords, and Angus. Duroc and Poland-China purebred hogs will also be placed on the sale block. The lot has been carefully selected from the best herds in North Dakota, with some Guernseys and milking Shorthorns from Min- nesota ‘and W isconsin. In. Good Condition All animals are in good condition, tested, and will be sold at actual cost ‘from breeders plus necessary handling charges, according to the officials. An unusual feature of the sale is the manner in which it will be con- ducted. There will be no auction, but anyone may buy any animal that attracts his attention for the price paid by the Greater North Dakota association plus handling charges. Animals sold by individual farmers will be sold at a price agreed upon by seller and purchaser. B. E. Groom, chairman of the live- stock committee of the association, will be in general charge of the sale. Miesen and Newcomer have had charge of local arrangements. Other agricultural experts who arrived to- day to attend the sale are Martin Apland, livestock buyer for the as- sociation; H. A. McNutt, agricultur- al agent of the Soo Line; and Al Dexter, agricultural agent of the Northern Pacific Railway company. Splenda has spent the last three weeks in securing cattle for the sale and in making other arrangements. According to the plan worked out . New- Will Supply District This sale is expected to supply the needs of the territory within truck- ing distance of Mandan and Bis- marck. Following the sale more cat- tle will be assembled, if conditions warrant, and distributed at other points in the territory where breed- ing stock is wanted, and where the local supply is insufficient to supply demand.
