New York, July 15.—(?)—Helen Flint, actress, came back to Broadway today after six weeks on the island of Majorca, off the coast of Spain, where, she said, one could live for $5 @ week, “I met a young American who had been living there a year,” she ‘said, “and he told me that as long as his father continues to send him $5 a week, he'll never leave the island. “You can live in luxury there for $8 a week. Why, a beautifully fur- nished villa can be rented for $15 a month, and-a servant only costs $4 @ morth. Clothes cost almost nothing. I wore puttees, breeches, a simple blouse, and native rope sandals that you buy for 15 cents a pair.” | KIWANIANS T0 JOIN LIONS AND LEGION Will Meet at Masonic Temple in Honor of Bodenhamer; Back Girls’ Camp, Too The girls camp at Chan Owapi, July 29 to August 12, was taken up by the Kiwanis club at the noon lunch- STOCK LOSSES IS CAUSE OF MURDE Man Who Slew Retired Banker | &™ in Los-Angeles Courtroom Explains Actions ‘Los Angeles, July 15.—(P)—A frenzy, caused by brooding over stock market losses, was offered today by Frank Keaton, 56, as an explanation for his slaying of Motley Flint, Los Angeles financier. Rising from among the spectators as Flint stepped from the witness stand yesterday, Keaton fired three times at the retired banker. As Flint collapsed, Keaton threw his gun at the financier and raised his hands in surrender. “This fellow tuined me! He ruined me!” said Keaton as he was seized. Keaton, an Inglewood, Calif., real estate dealer, later reenacted the shooting, saying he knew Flint by name but never had met the finan- cier. In a rambling story, Keaton said he had left his home where his sickly wife at times takes in washing to help provide for the couple’s two daughters. He carried a pistol he had kept in a trunk for 40 years, He had no interest in the trial at which Flint was a witness, he said, but was drawn to the courtroom by some in- explicable urge. “I had nothing against Flint or the batikers associated with him,” Keaton sajd. “I don’t know why I did it. I lost a lot of money, all my have kept up.” For a time it was thought Keaton shot Flint because of the latter's connection with some of the numer- ous investigations in the collapse of the Julian Petroleum Keaton once said “every time his testi- mony touched on Julian matters it casing my blood boil.” Paes: — declared Keaton made ny investments in Julian stock.

L. Bodenham- er, national commander of The Amer- one “pea and other distinguished The, luncheon situation was ex- Leet by Dr. W. E. Cole—that the Lions in fenarane one of their lead- ing members, in the person of the national commander, had to select the Kiwanis luncheon day, as the guest can not be here except on that day. In order that the Kiwanians may not be deprived of meeting these distin- guished visitors, as they would if they had the day exclusively to themselves, the Lions invited the other club to join in its meeting. The matter of the girls camp was Presented by Lois E. Howard, play- ground director, who is to superintend the camping period. She said she had obtained the aid of Frances Porter, of Madison, Wis., a trained musician and an expert in almost all athletic games, and of Evelyn George and Gwendolyn Jenson, of this city. Two Eagle scouts will be at Wildwood lake to|- serve as life guards, and W. G. Fulton, director of Boy Scout activities, and Mrs. Fulton also will be at the camp to give assistance. Fifty girls from Bismarck and Mandan and 12 Girl Scouts from Un- derwood have been listed for the camp. The aim is to obtain 100.

S. Plan During De- bate With Johnson Washington, July 15.—()—The text of the first American proposal made at the London naval conference was given to the senate today by Senator Reed, Republican, Pennsylvania, one of the delegates during a bristling exchange with Senator Johnson, Re- publican, California. Advocates of the treaty were ready to rest their case before the senate with a speech by Senator Reed, and then leave the burden of carrying on the debate to a small but determined band of opponents. Prospects of reaching an early vote on ratification of the pact were in- creased by an informal agreement on the Norris reservation reached among friends of the treaty. ‘The reservation would stipulate this government shall not be bound by any secret understanding or agreements which are not a part of the treaty. It was submitted after President Hoover declined to give the senate custody of all papers relating to the London conference. At first it provoked opposition from friends of President Hoover and also from Senator Robinson of Arkansas, the Democratic leader. He, like Reed, was a delegate to London and as- serted no secret understandings ex- isted. Senator Norris has agreed to elim- inate the preamble of his resolution, telling of the refusal of the president to give the senate the papers. Ad- ministration friends. have agreed to accept it with this change and one of the big fighting points in the treaty debate seems to have been eliminated. ‘With this contest apparently out of the way, interest centered in the ef- forts to keep a quorum on hang until a final yote is reached. Treaty advocates are afraid of a filibuster against the pact. In that event they are going to insist upon adoption of the cloture rule limiting debate. However, no move in that direction will be made unless a fili- buster is definitely begun. LEGGE ENLARGES ON CURTAILMENT IDEA Wants Consumer to Catch Up With Production; Compli- ments ‘Max and Louie’ Washington, July .15.—(P)—Alex- ander Legge has discléimed in a letter to Governor Reed of Kansas that he t| ‘got hot about something’ cent meeting in in Kana ft in the farm board’s campaign for wheat acreage reduction. The letter, made public today at the board’s offices, said some news- papers “seem to have the impression that Mr. Hyde and myself were ask- ing the farmer to quit raising wheat in Kansas.” “You know how far that is from the fact, the suggestion being only to raise a little less of it and give the consumer a chance to catch up with producers,” the board chairman wrote. “In view of the further facts and information that have been developed on this subject during recent months, »|I am hoping you will see your way clear to join us in this request. In other words, we are asking a little cooperation from the grower, who is the one who will receive the benefit jaoma | from any improvement in the situ- ation.” Afer the meeting at Dodge City, (gag Legge was quoted as having said: “The biggest hog will always le in the trough.

FARGO MURDER IS UNSOLVED MYSTERY All Clues in Hunt for Slayer of Leif Erickson Come to Naught, Say Officials Fargo, N. D., July 15.—()—With more than two weeks elapsed since the murder of Leif Erickson north of the city, Fargo and Cass county au- thorities today said they are “up against a stone wall.” Despite scores of leads and the spur of a $1,000 reward offered by Cass county and the State of North Dako- ta, every trail followed by the author- ities has faded to nothingness. Unable to tell whether a local man or a transient was responsible for the robbery and shooting of the Wheaton, Minn., youny man and the threaten- ing of his girl companion, Miss Vera Helgerson, the police and _ sheriff's forces have vainly sought for some more substantial clue than the bullet which passed through Erickson’s body and the fingerprints found on the car, which they have no assurance were made by the masked killer. A dozen suspects have been arrested in as many North Dakota and Min- nesota communities, but all have giv- en satisfactory explanations of their actions at the time of the shooting shortly after midnight of Saturday, June 28. Barring a “lucky break” authorities said the Erickson murder may be add- ed to the unsolved list. ‘Courtroom Vanities’ Of Earl Carroll. Will Continue on Thursday New York, July 15.—(?)—The cur- rent edition of the courtroom “van- ities” of Earl Carroll will play an- other matinee Thursday.

K. Osjord, Bismarck, head of the state bureau of criminal identification and apprehension, was called to Cando.
