The time has not been set. ter since May 31 when counsel for the state made a motion for change of Place of trial. In a memorandum decision, Judge McFarland stated that it would be al- most impossible to select a fair and unbiased jury in Burleigh county to sit in the second triat and that it would promote the ends of justice to change the place of trial. In the first trial held in December, 1928, the jury was unable to agree on @ verdict. The state then asked that the second trial be held outside Bur- leigh county, contending that public interest had been aroused to such an extent that it would be impossible to select a fair and impartial jury. Bitterly Fight Application The defense bitterly contested the application citing the fact that the ‘defendant has the right to be tried wi publicity and that many citizens had formed opinions’ of the merits of the cause— “That the interest in the trial and the facts involved have permeated all classes of people residing in Bismarck and beta peaiat oa exists throughout Burleigh county.

It was felt in great measure to have taken the wind out of the nationalist sails by stating un- equivocally that Germany would not stand for the installation of a com- mission in the Rhineland as the price ie evacuation and by announcing ifestations against the treaty of Ver- sailles scheduled for June 26 especial- acknowledging Ger- an sole guflt for the war. many’s’ . |. Count Westarp, in opening the de- bate, criticized the Reichstag for let- ting seven months pass without pub- Uc discussion of foreign policy. Discussing the Young plan, Count asserted that Giery in ace cepting the Dawes plan, he ex- euse that it had been forced upon her, whereas the Young plan was adopted by the experts acting as free agents. Its acceptance therefore was far more serious. ‘The nationalists, he de- clared, would oppose enslaving future generations as “contemplated by the Plan.” The remainder of his speech was taken up with an analysis of Dr. Stresemann’s five years’ direction of foreign affairs which he claimed was 8 complete failure.

Edward Malm- quist, pastor of the Methodist church, who denounced authorities and citi- zens in a tirade against liquor. Civic organizations and county offi- cials he charged are willfully blind to illicit Mquor traffic in International Falls, in an address in the church yesterday. “You folks here do not want to pro- hibit booze,” he claimed. “What In- ternational Falls needs is less booze and more re'igion. Ninety-nine per cent of our mental activity is centered on jazz and cigarets, bridge and booze,” the pastor continued. “Some of our citizens are living on the ill- gotten gains of criminals. “Instead of a membership campaign a certain civic club ought to have a real housecleaning. Anoth>r studies words but does nothing because the trail of booze leads up to their own front steps, to their parlors and din- ing rooms and down the back steps to the cellars. “The city fathers have been busy grinding out resolutions, one of them ending, ‘For God's sake help us!’ That's n@t a prayer for help, but blas- phemiy. “The prayer of a city’s population from the city council, the county at- torney and the sheriff, as well as the bootleggers.’ All the city council stuff is drivel.” CANADIAN CONVENT DESTROYED BY FIRE Flames Following Lightning Flash Cause Damage Esti- mated at $1,000,000 Montreal; June 24.—()—Struck by lightning, the convent of the Sa- cred Heart at Sault au Recollet was in ruins today. Fire, discovered half an hour after the flash of lightning had struck the metallic roofing, burned the structure yesterday. All of the occupants, including 22 convalescent nuns, escaped. The four- story stone building and its con- tents were a total loss, estimated at $1,000,000. The storm crippled fire alarms and telephone lines so that arrival of firemen was delayed. As the roof and floors fell the walls crumbled, until nothing remained standing but a sec- tion of the front wall surmounted by @ cross and a stuffed eagle. Four fire- men were hurt. The convent, conducted by Ladies of the Sacred Heart, was widely known as an educational institution. CONFESSED SLAYER PLEADS INNOCENCE Columbus, Ohio, June 24.—(#)—Dr. James H.

FIRST PUBLIC MASS IN MEXICO CHURCH SET FOR SATURDAY Feast of St. Peter and St. Paul Will Be First Celebration Since 1926 Mexico City,. June 24.—(7)—The first public mass in Mextco ‘since August 1, 1926, will be said at the church of Neustra Senora de la Guadalupe—Our Lady of the Guada- lupe—Mexico’s national shrine, next Saturday, the feast of Saint Peter and Saint Paul. Pascual Diaz, newly appointed archbishop of Mexico, in a published statement today said that while the task of taking ‘inventory of the churches and their delivery by the government back to the episcopate necessarily would take some time it would be rushed to completion in the case of the Guadalupe church for the Saturday service. Other churches will be reopened by the priests as quickly as the govern- mental surrender processes can completed. Prominent Mexico City Catholics have set in motion plans to have pil- grims to the shrine Saturday creep the entire distance on their knees. Numerous church groups have prom- ised participation in the rite, which would be made over a three-mile cobblestone route. The shrine Saturday and Sunday last was the scene of visits by hun- dreds of thousands at least 100,000 having visited it Saturday and many more, according to police estimates, yesterday. The crowds were crowds of thanksgiving, many of them fall- ing on their knees the last few rods of the approach to the edifice. ‘The altar before the image of the Virgin—the same which is reputed to be of miraculous origin—was loaded high with Mowers. Similar pilgrimages, although pos- sibly not so extensive, are expected to take place every day this week. Archbishop Ruiz y Flores, of Mich- oacan, has cabled the. vatican asking authoritization for Archbishop Diaz officially to assume all duties as head of the church in Mexico immediately. ° | City Boy Runs | Away, Preferring | Life on Farm ° H Lakewood; Ohio, June 24.—(NEA)— Lots of boys run away from the farm because they like the city better, bui Warner Landis, 15, -an away from ais home in PRICE FIVE CENTS REPORT OF WRECK SENDS DESTROYERS IN FRANTIC SEARCH Major Franco and His Compan- ions Disappear Following At- tempt to Cross Atlantic MAY BE SAFE ON AN ISLAND British Vessel Reports Seeing Airplane Wreckage Float- ing on Water Madrid, June 24—(7)—Alarmed b> disappearance of Major Ramon Franco and three companions on « flight to New York by way of the Azores, the Spanish authorities today dispatched destroyers and airplanes to scour the sea between the Spanish coast and the Azores. The Spanish government was par- ticularly eager to run down @ report from the British merchant ship Grelden stating this ship saw air- Plane wreckage floating in the sea about 100 miles off the Azores. There were no persons aboard. Dispatch Destroyers As soon as this report was received the ministry of the navy dispatched five destroyers from Ferroll with or- Bruen Beant the district northeast of the in the hope of finding this wreckage, identity of which was not established. The destroyers sent on this duty were the Alsedo, the Sanchez, Barcaiztigue, the Velasco and the Lazaga. In addition to sending out this squadron as well as other squadrons to the Azores, the all steamships in the area to keep a rp lookout in the hope of sight- ing the wreckage and determine its identity.

Whether they came down at some isolated spot in the Azores, losing the use of their radio on alighting in the water after sending a message of their arrival, or whether they decided to continue straight on to New Ycrk without stopping were questions still unsolved today. FLARE OFF NEWFOUNDLAND MAY INDICATE ATTEMPT New York, June 24.—(P)—A steam- ship’s report of the sighting of a flare, be | believed that of an airplane, 400 miles south of Cape Race, Newfoundland, Sunday morning, caused curiosity to- day as to whether the Spanish trans- atlantic flyers attempted to cross to the American continent without first stopping at the Azores. Since more tnan enough time had elapsed since the sighting of the sup- posed flare for the Spaniards’ plane, the Jupiter, to reach Halifax, or New York, it was presumed that if the plane had made such an attempt it was down in the western Atlantic or in an isolated spot in the east Atlan- tic seaboard.
