PAGETWO ~-- May 31 CITY COMMISSION TO PUT MEMORIAL BUILDING 10 VOTE! Electors to Decide Whether to Issue Securities and In- | crease Debt Limit WOULD JOIN COUNTY CASH; : \ Clean-Up Campaign Comes Up in Complaint Backed by Pho- tograph of Disorder May 31 Bismarck voters will pass! on the proposal to issue $125,000; worth of city bonds as the basis of | entering into a memorial building | project with the county. ' » The city commission selected the} date at the regular meeting Monday | evening, in ligu of a date a week earlier tentatively chosen last week. ‘Two questions are to be voted on: Shall the city bond in the amount of $125,000 and shall the 3 per cent debt limit be increased? i If the voters approve the issue of the bonds, the next step on the part | of the city will be to negotiate with} the county commissioners for the erection of a memorial structure jointly by city and county, in which the funds derived from the bond is- sue will be pooled with county funds for the crection of a soldier memorial. Thus a city-county-World War me- morial building would be provided. The election will be held at all the regular city polls and the boards which sat in the municipal election, April 2, will officiate at the bond referendum. Sell Delinquent Lot Assent was given, Monday evening, by the commission to the sale of a lot held by the county on delinquent. taxes, to 5. S. McDonald for $125. The lot is 152. N. P. addition, on the west side of Tenth street at Avenue D, and it will require considerable filling, which was a consideration in accepting the McDonald offer, in view of delinquent taxes, interest and penalties of $422. Another considera- tion was that the sale will put the property back on the tax list, pro- ducing city income again. Show Fire Peril by Photo Cleaneup week came up strikingly in the meeting when. Dr. T. M. Mac- Lachlan and O. W. Roberts appeared with complaints about the disorderly “gol cmagge in the rear of two Main venue properties on opposite sides of First street. Dr. MacLachlan was armed with a photograph and said the property was that of L. Thal, for- merly used for auto repairing. A lot of brokendown cars were in the pic- ture. The matter was referred to the fire chief as in the nature of a fire hazard and if he can not induce action, the commission discussion indicated legal action in the nature of a fine. A sidewalk was ordered in in front of the Chafles McGoon property or Hannifin ‘street, north of Rosset avenue, as requested by McGoon last Will Put in White Way Plans and specifications were asked on motion of Commissioner Humph- reys for inaugurating a white way lighting system on Broadway between Mandan and Second street, as peti- tioned for by property owners. A letter from John F. Sullivan resurrected the demand of J. D. Hea- low for relief in a change of grade at 114 Thayer avenue. The change af- fects Healow's sidewalk. A question keeping the city and Healow apart on the matter is whether he had an of- ficial grade when he laid the side- walk. The city established such a weade: later. The sidewalk does not conform to this. The matter was re- ferred-to City Attorney C. L. Young.

As @ result, more ducks than usual came back and lingered within and around the closed areas. Larger numbers of ducks nested in the refuge the past season than has been the case for some time. Last fall additional areas were closed to shooting and a striking in- crease is noted in the numbers of ducks and geese flocking to the refuge. Shooting in the surrounding country is better than for years. Good for Muskrat Breeding Three closed areas have shown wonderful results in the production of muskrats, which became so nu- merous last fall that it was necessary this year to remove considerable numbers. Otherwise they would have eaten out most of the water potato and other duck and rat foods. Trapping had to be done both by the ranger and by trappers working under permit. In addition, quite a number of rats were taken alive and transported to other portions of the refuge which had become depleted so far as these animals were concerned.

It may be en- joyed even more at a second visit. ELTINGE THEATRE When “Hot Stuff” comes to the El- tinge for Wednesday and Thursday, those who have admired the inim- itable antics of Louise Fazenda in silent moving pictures be able to hear her voice on the Vitaphone. “Hot Stuff” is a tal starring Alice White.

Out of a background of home spun carpets, horse-hair sofas and corner what-nots, Alice White, as Babs, goes to college. Once on the campus she forgets her simple foundation, appar- ently, and dons a mask of modernity Fox Films has proclaimed to the world at large that “In Old Arizona” is “The Covered Wagon of Talking Pictures,” but audiences which wit- nessed its premiere yesterday at the more than that. “In Old Arizona” is the first fea- | ture-length film drama to be pro- duced entirely by Fox Movietone, and it well reflects the three years of experimentation William Fox has giv- en to sound picture technique. It is a story of the romantic south- west. Its central figures are a no- torious bandit and killer who had eluded all attempts to capture him, a fiery girl whom he loved knd a United States cavalry sergeant who was assigned to capture the bandit and who fell in love with the girl. The sergeant persuaded her to betray the bandit. That is the germ of the plot, but it does not begin to describe the fascination of hearing the trio— Warner Baxter, Dorothy Burgess and Edmund Lowe—speak their lines; of the accompanying sounds and the novelty of having a score of famous film players in the supporting cast, among whom are Farrel Macdonald, Ivan Linow, Frank Campeau, Tom Santschi and Roy Stewart, also speak. “In Old Arizona” certainly sets up anew milestone and an important one in the world of motion pictures. From the standpoint of acting, talking, scenery, photography and all else it seems flawless. The highest praise must be ac- !

Warning i | Warning to physicians not to con- fuse cases of smallpox with chicken pox has been sent out to the physi- cians of the state by the state health department here. Although there appears to be no danger of a smallpox epidemic in North Dakota, several cases have been reported from various parts of the state. One health officer has advised the department that some cases which were declared to be chicken Pox really were smallpox and this has put a different face on the situ- ation for the health department. It is best, state health authorities said, to diagnose the cases for what they are and to advise persons in the areas affected to protect themselves by vaccination. Quarantine laws also should be rigidly enforced in order to | Protect the general public, the cir- {cular letter said. Thousands of posters have been put up along the refuge boundaries and the camping places throughout the refuge. Large signs have also been placed where they may be seen from trains and along auto roads. 06 CITIES IN STATE PLAN CHAUTAUQUAS Coleharbor, Flasher, Garrison, Hebron, New Salem and Wilton Included first measures of protection were di- rected toward the development of good cooperation with the state con- servation departments. It has always been a difficult mat- ter for the states to protect the wild life along the Mississippi river. In the first place, the laws of the ad- joining states differ widely and the boundaries following the tortuous channel of the river were none toc definite. Then, too, some of the state laws did not fit conditions along the Mississippi, but were designed more especially for general condi- tions throughout the state. Again, the intensive work needed to protect fish, game and fur-bearing animals in the Mississippi bottom lands could not be done with the small state forces available in the locality. Working arrangements have been made with the states, whereby bet- ter protection is now afforded and the federal forces of rangers and their assistants tend to harmonize the work and add much to its effective- ness. This federal force is now well equipped with patrol boats and work boats of various kinds and gives at- tention not only to game and fish protection but to fire prevention, con- Chicago, May 7.—Indicating an im- Proved economic situation and an in- creased taste for chautauqua enter- tainment, more North Dakota cities will have chautauqua entertainments this year than at any other time since 1921.

DEWEY GROVES THIS HAS HAPPENED MILDRED LAWRENCE falls in love with STEPHEN ARMI- TAGE, who is lured away from her by PAMELA JUDSON when she tells him that Mildred is try- ing to marry her brother, HAR- OLD, for his money. Harold fears HUCK CONNOR, who holds a check which he forged. Huck is infatuated with Pamela, who plays him to make Stephen jeal- ous. When Pamela maneuvers Stephen into an engagement, Huck frames him for the theft of an auto and causes his arrest. Pamela breaks the engagement, but Mildred goes to’ see him in jail and promises help. Harold had once confessed his fear of Huck to Mildred and said that he threatened to “get Armi- tage” to keep him from marrying Pamela. With this as a clew, she determines to force Harold to aid Stephen and is shocked to hear of his death—apparently accidental. Then she tells Stephen her sus- pictons but they have no proof and things seem hopeless. In desperation Mildred gocs to Pamela and tells her story. Pa- mela sends her to MR. JUDSON, who still believes she was schem- ing to marry Harold for money. But he is impressed by what she says and takes her to headquar- ters where she repeats her sus- picions about Huck. Mr. Judson puts up bail for Stephen's release and Pamela goes to see him and asks forgiveness. She also plans her wedding and picks out her ring. ek * NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER XXXVII A few seconds before the shot that was meant to kill“Mildred was fired, an incoming train disgorged its pas- sengers for that station and the first of the stream, hurrying toward the street, saw her pitch forward in a headlong fall dgwn the stairs. One of them, a young man with a cauliflower ear and a quick eye, sprang forward to catch her. He succeeded in breaking the fall but they both went down together. Others came to his assistance, but in attempting to get Mildred on her feet they saw that she was uncon- ‘scious. By this time a guard had appeared upon the scene. He took instant and efficient command of the situation. The passengers, all but a few of the more curious, went on their way, not one of them suspecting that the girl had been shot. New York listens to her noises with but half an ear. A pistol shot, muffled as in this case, would be un- heard except by those who chanced to be at close range. And Mildred’s would-be assasgjn, although his nerves were unsteady and his shoulders jerked spasmodi- cally in a queer twitching motion, had ‘still enough command of his judg- ment to choose an instant that would give him all the advantage when he pulled the trigger. His right hand was on his side to the building. To anyone approach- ing from the rear he was hidden from. view by the piled-up boxes. He would searcely be noticed by anyone coming toward him as he faced the subway entrance, which would prevent him from being in the direct line of vision of all but those coming up to the ti. eek ‘That was the chance he had to take, TUESDAY, MAY 7 1929 $125,000 Bond Issue but shooting a young girl on a busy New York street could not be without its hazards. The thing was to “get her on a spot.” He'd been told to pick the first op- portunity. As there was no one near at the instant Mildred paused to get out her change, he decided the time was ripe to obey orders. Mildred was no more to him than a wooden target would have been. His mind was filled with the prom- ise of immediate transport to his pri- | ” vate heaven when the job was fin- ished. He needed no other induce- Hit apeema it done as soon as pos- sible. His half-satisfied craving for drugs was sufficient to prime him for the murderous deed he'd undertaken, though the man who waited to know the result was well aware of the fact that the priming itself was a factor against success. It was a risk the man was com- pelled to take. He hadn't anyone at hand to send out on such a cold- blooded task except this lost crea- ture. This was not a gang war—he could get help from Duke and his men only up to a certain point. When it came to murdering a girl Huck had to do his own fixing, he was told." So he sent for Snifty—even Huck didn’t know his surname. One glance at him and Huck saw that Snifty would promise anything he asked. But he couldn’t send him out as he was; he'd flunk it sure. ‘Itewas necessary for Huck’s purpose to satisfy Snifty’s craving just enough to bolster his nerve up to the point where murder was no more to him than the price of a few hours of happy oblivion to torture, and yet stop short of giving him enough of his drug to make him forget what he was sent out to do. Snifty had picked up the trail shortly before Mildred left Mr. Jud- son. When he fired and saw her fall he turned and walked away with no thought in his mind but to get back to Huck and collect his pay. From across the street came a man who had seen Mildred go toppling E forward, but even he had no sus- picion that she'd been shot. He did not notice Snifty, who was cunning enough not to run. When the man saw that Mildred was receiving aid he went back to his fruit stand. His gallantry in going | lice to her assistance was rewarded by the loss of an apple apiece to a couple of | dred street urchins who made off in haste when they saw him returning. His interest in Mildred died right then, and although he was an ob- servant man he failed to see Snifty hasten toward a parked taxicab as his nerve wie one him, When it was discovered that Mil- dred had been shot she was carried into a nearby drug store, where she revived before the ambulance which been hastily summoned arrived. ‘The ambulance surgeon decided to take her to the hospital, though he told her the wound was superficial— “just a tiny splinter off the acromion. You'll be able to go home tonight.” As it was her shoulder that burned like fire Mildred assumed that it was her “acromion.” Before she was helped out to the ambulance she answered a number of questions put to her by a policeman. She said she did not know who had shot her, mindful that Inspector Markeson was not ready to make pub- lic the developments in the Judson Daily Cross-word Puzzle AcBUSS 1, Wool-bearing animals 5, Demand as 4 11, One who te 2 “ tornace it; Alternative article mw ileal prop: 12, Seerete 8 Proposed tatere nat! lane Solution of Yesterday's Puzzle 9% Pronoun 1 bird = 68, Lone Star State 1.
