Bismarck has the reputation of be- ing the cleanest and most attractive Uttle city in the Northwest, without factories, railroad roundhouses, crowded dingy streets, or other condi- tions which usually detract from the beauty of industrial cities, and locat- ed on high ground, gently sloping to the southward, overlooking the Mis- souri, Bismarck can be easily the cen- ter of great civic beauty. The cultivation of the spare grounds, otherwise likely to remain unsightly, through garden contests, and the proper care of all residence yards would do much to improve the general attractiveness of the city. __As the capital of North Dakota, Visited annually by many thousands of people from both within and with- out the state, it is highly desirable that Bismarck residents should show a keen interest in this form of civic development.

Secretary Good replied he was in sympathy with inland water trans- portation on the Missouri and said the question of a district engineer at Sioux City would have to be studied by the chief of engineers. It was requested that the work on the six foot channel from Kansas City to Sioux City, which has been San Diego, Calif, April 22.—(%)— Lieut. Howard Keefer, army pilot, was blamed today by the San Diego board of air control for the mid-air collision of his army pursuit plane and an air liner that cost six lives, including his own, here yesterday. A statement by J. Allison Moore, president of the board, issued after an investigation, declared that Keefer had been stunting and otherwise vio- lating air traffic rules. The tragedy, the second of its kind in San Diego in three days and the most disastrous in the history of the city, occurred shortly after the air liner, owned by the Maddux Air Line: Inc., and carrying five passengers, took off for Phoenix, Ariz. Ground observers said Lieut. Keefer, who was following the liner in his swift pur- suit plane, eviderttly misjudged the distance and crashed into a wing of the big plane. ‘Transport Disintegrates The two’ planes were seen to lurch simultane The ,. ship rolled over s few times’and then fell into a canyon. ‘The liner held its course for a minute or two but loose parts began to break away and it fell in a heap. Besides Lieut. Keefer, the dead were: Maurice Murphy, of Beverly Hills, Calif., pilot of the air liner. Miss Cecella Kelley, 21, newspaper reporter of Kansas City, Denver and Phoenix. Arturo Guajardo, prominent law- yer of Baja California. Miss Amelia Guajardo, 18, his daughter. * Louis D. Pratt, relief pilot of the air liner. Miss Kelley and Senor and Senor- ita Guajardo were passengers. Thousands of persons saw the col- lision and the fall of the planes, Keefer was seen to jump and release his parachute, but it caught 2 wing of his plane and he dangl there until the wreckage struck the earth. Pratt was decapitated when the planes crashed. Murphy evidently made a desperate attempt to bring his crippled transport safely to earth. Fragments of the big plane began falling and it started making wide circles. It rolled, dipped and went. into a nose dive. For an instant it returned to an even keel and then plunged straight down, a shower of Miss Kelley and Senorita Guajardo spectators (By The Associated Press) tornadoes, and wind, hail and rain storms—took 32 lives in the midwest, southwest and south over the week- end; injured two score persons or more, and did hundreds of thousands Washington, April 22.—(4)—Im- mediate confirmation of the nomina. tion of Irvine L.

Dead at Forks CK TRIBUNE Calls It ‘Gift to Manufacturers and Speculators, Without Benefit to Farmer’ WOULD DEPRECIATE PRICES ‘Overproduction Will Defeat the Plan and Catastrophe of De- flation Would Follow’ Washington, April 22.—()—A farm relief bill including the cxport de- benture plan, to which President Hoo- ver is opposed, was sent to the senate today by its agricultural committee. and Chairman McNary announced that debate would begin tomorrow. In spite of the emphatically stated ‘opposition of the president, the com- mittee declined by a vote of 8 to 6 to reverse its previous decision to in- clude the debenture plan in its farm measure. Chairman McNary an- nounced in the senate that a formal report on the bill would be ready to- morrow and that he would ask for immediate discussion. ‘While the fight on the debenture plan was being placed squarely before the senate, the house worked on its farm bill, which does not include all the debenture plan. The leaders there agreed shortly after the house con- vened at noon to extend the time for general debate through Tucsday. It had been hoped that debate would have been concluded before adjourn- ment tonight. Opponents Lack Strength At the senate agricultural commit- tee meeting the letter of Mr. Hoover giving reasons why he could not sup- port the debenture plan, which he declared would prove disastrous to the farmer, was read by Chairman McNary. It caused some members to vote against the plan, but opponents of the debenture plan could not mus- ter sufficient strength to climin: espa as desired by the pres: ent. At the house side of the capitol Representative Jones, Democrat, Tex- as, a friend of the debenture proposal and outspoken in his opposition to the farm bill pending before that body, issued a statement describing the president's letter as the “most amaz- ing communication to which he has ever given utterance.” Every objection raised by the president to the deben- ture plan, he said, applies “with equal force to any tariff system,” and added that the tariff system was deemed a Practical matter. In the senate, action was deferred for the day on the Nye resolution proposing to bind the senate to con- sideration on farm relief legislation exclusively until disposed of. Senator Nye, Republican, North Dakota, agreed to postponement, but the posure may be called up at any time. Washington, April 22.—()—Presi- dent Hoover stood today definitely and emphatically ranged in opposi- tion to the export debenture plan of farm relief. “I am convinced that it would bring disaster to the American farm- er,” he said in a letter to Chairman McNary of the senate agriculture (Continued on page three) GAMBLERS WAYLAID, Gangsters Watch ‘Big Money’ Crap Game, Then Rob Win- ners on Lonely Highway Toronto, April 22.—(?)—Authorities were confronted today by a variation HACKED OF $5 00 HOOVER MAKES APPEAL FOR LAW OBSERVANCE 32 Killed by Tornadoes and Floods PLANES CRASH DEBENTURE IS RECOMMENDED DESPITE HOOVER OPPOSITION ‘WE ARE CONFRONTED OUR FOUNDATIONS’ ‘Crimes Due to the Prohibition Amendment but One Segment of the Preblem,’ He Says . ‘RESPECT FOR LAW FADING’ Fedecal Administration Will Strengthen Enforcement by Steady Pressure New York, April 22.—(4)—President Hoover, in an ernest appeal to his feVow citizens to observe the law, de- clared today that life and property in the United States “are relatively more unsafe than in any other civilized country in the world.” In his first address since his inau- guration, delivered at the annual Mrs. Hays Not to Fight Divorce whether the time had not come “to realize that we are confronted with @ subsidence of our foundations.” “In order to dispel certain illusions in the public mind on this subject, Mr. Hoover said, “let me say at that while violations of-law have fi by inclusion of under the eighteenth amendment by the vast sums that are poured the hands of criminal: classes patronage of illicit liquor by wise responsible citizens, yet: but one segment of our problem.” Dry Law Is Upheld He explained that he cited tent of murder, burglary, forgery, and embezalement because only a small percentage of these could be attributed to the eight amendment, and he asserted that of the total number of convictions felony last year less than eight cent came from the source of Jaw. “What : thing far larger and damental—the possibility that spect for iaw as law is fading-from the sensibilities of our people,” he continued. “No individual has a right to de- obeyed Will H.
