Vamicnistanithe ts hk ialeretenin a Dan Johnson Denies ‘ He Was Arrested for| | Driving While Drunk ‘ [Rearrange seh ln Dan H. Johnson, former Mandan man who now lives at 623 Sixth street, Bismarck, claims he has been wronged. A man who gave his name as Dan H. Johyson was arrested by Mandan ; policemen Friday night after an au- tomobile accident in the Morton county city and was charged with driving while intoxicated. He “proved” he was Dan H. John- son by the registration card carried in his automobile. He was released without charge Saturday after he paid all damages incurred by the ac- cident. Through a newspaper story, the real Dan H. Johnson learned that he was supposed to have been arrested and promptly made an investigation. He explains that he sold his automo- bile a few weesk ago to a Mandan garage, which in its turn sold it to someone else without removing John- son’s registration card. Mr. Johnson is particularly eager that police records do not incorrectly show that he was arrested for driving an automobile while intoxicated. Louisiana Political Situation Is , Growing Exciting as Primary Nears New Orleans, Sept. 8—(7)—Gov. Huey P.

Long was [| struck on the nose today by Wil- || fam G. Wiegand, a reporter ot the New Orleans item, after the reporter said the governor had |) called him a profane name. . i ago his intention of filing a slander suit against Long who opposes Sen- ator Joseph E. Ransdell in tomorrow's | Democratic primary. The man, introduced to radio list- eners by Governor Long, read a pre- pared statement in which he said he was not kidnaped from a Shreveport | hotel early Thursday, but slipped away with a requested guard of state policemen after he found $2,500 under his pillow. He said he did not know, why the money had been placed there. | Newspapermen, called to the gover- | nor’s hotel suite, were introduced | to the man by the governor, but they said they, did not know whether he was Irby because he wore a slough hat and bowed his head. They said the man rushed out into a freight elevator and then sped from the hotel in an automobile waiting at a side entrance. One reporter said he attempted to follow the man and his escort into the elevator but was jerked out and his/| coat ripped. He said one of the es-| corts drew a pistol and ordered the elevator operator to descend at the same time slamming the door st.ut himself. Mystery still surrounded the dis- appearance of James Terrelt, divorced husband of the governor's private secretary, who was with Irby at Shreveport and dropped from sight | the same night. A federal court writ of habeas cor-. pus, returniable today, demanded the sheriff of Jefferson parish release Irby and Terrell, although the radio statement last night said Irpy had being subpoenaed as a witness in case in that parish. A petition for been released several days ago =a {the writ by Assistant Attorney Gen- ‘al E. R. Scholwater accused Gover- nor Long and state officers of con- spiring to kidnap Irby and Terrell. Irby, former chief chemist, recently was a witness in a secret investiga- tion of the state highway department. Subpoenas were issued today by the United States district court at New Orleans against Governor Long, and District Attorney E. Fluery and Sher- iff Frank Clancy, 0: Jefferson parish, for their appearance in court today to show cause why Irby and Terrell should not be produced in open court. In the application for the writ, As- sistant Attorney General Schowalter charged Governor Long with conspir- ing to kidnap the two men. Policemen were assigned to each newspaper plant in the city last night and they were still on duty today. They said they had been ordered to guard the newspapers by the chief of police. The newspapers have c¢on- ducted an intense campaign against carried front page editorials, cartoons and outspoken news items against him. ee | AT THE MOVIES '' SSS eed CAPITOL THEATRE ' Sparkling romance with dramatic! moments and many laughs bi describes “She's My Weakness,” Radio Pictures’ all talking comedy- drama which opens tonight at the Capitol Theatre. | The story was adapted from the! stage play “Tommy” which ran for, nearly two years on Broadway. | Arthur Lake and Sue Carol, viva-j| cious youngsters, are co- featured; with such well-known players as Lu- cien Littlefield, William Collier. sr.,; Alan Bruce, who originated his role on the stage, and Helen Ware. | Melville Brown, noted for his treat- ment of romantic comedy. directed. | The story takes place in a typical | American town and hinges around | the machinations of a combined poli- | tician and matchmaker who almost | xuims Arthur Lake chances to capture the affections of Sue Carol.

G. Dun and company's weekly review of trade, for the week ending Saturday, September 6. The review says precedent 1s being followed now, with an acceleration of activity as September opens, and the upward trend is the more significant in the present instance because of the extent and scope of the preceding recession. A more cheerful feeling had recently developed in various quarters in anticipation of a turn for the better, and the fact that improve- ment has come at the time it was ex- pected is an important phase. Even | with only moderate gains in actual operations, confidence has been bol- stered, and unsatisfactory features, although by no means disregarded, are | less prominently in the foreground. Adjustment Not Completed Evidence that all readjustments to new economic conditions have not yet been completed, continues the review, is sufficiently plain to temper the current reports of seasonal revival, but constructive changes in progress scarcely can fail to have ultimately beneficial effects. Nothing has occurred to alter the widely-held opinion that commercial recovery, as @ whole, will be gradual, and recognition of this probability should serve to modify hopes as to results in the early future. There is, right direction now, embracing nu- merous lines, and certain of the statis- tical indices are beginning to reflect the rise. Thus, records of steel out- put, railroad freight traffic and re- tail sales, among the principal baro- meters, are more favorable, as is also the action of wholesale commodity prices. The first advance in Dun’s monthly index number in about a year was entirely due to higher quotations ‘for grains in response to crop damage by the protracted drought of the sum- mer, yet recent weekly lists have dis- | closed a slackening of the prolonged | decline, and signs of stabilization in | some leading markets have increased. | At some point, supply and demand | will be more generally balanced, after | sharp curtailment of outputs, and an improved status in this respect al- ready exists in different channels. Number of Failures Declines | Contrasts mark the insolvency rec- ord for August, commercial failures at this season is to be expected, ana last month's total decreased to 1,913. In no previous month this year was the number below the 2,000-level, and the decline from January’s maximum of 2,759 exceeds 30 per cent. The August defaults, on the other hand, are fully 8 per cent, above those of the corresponding period of 1929. In point of indebtedness, last month's exhibit is unsatisfactory, with more than $49,000.000 involved. amounts have been higher durig; most earlier months this year, but the August aggregate is more than 23 per cent, above that of July and larger by nearly 46 per cent than the liabil- ities for August, 1929. The review notes an increase in steel output, with prices firmer, and important inquiries for structural steel; also a turn for the better in The} | divers today proceeded to explore the textile trades, cotton goods selling quite freely; and moderate improve- ment in the leather and footwear Hipng with still better prospects ahead.
