The blaze is believed by fire-fighters to have been caused by an overheated furnace in the basement of the large structure. When discovered, the entire base- ment of the church was aflame, and, despite the efforts of about 200 wed- ding guests in an adjacent building who were dining following a marriage cere- mony in the church, only about $900 worth of fixtures and vestments were saved. St. Anthony, smal] community 16 miles south of Mandan, lacked an adequate water supply to fight the flames. Cream cans and pails were used by bucket brigades which formed hurriedly, but the battle was hopeless.

A dozen Mandan firemen and the Mandan city fire truck were called to St. Anthony about 17:30 o'clock, but about four-fifths of the church had burned when the visiting delegation arrived. Many Mandan citizens drove to St. Anthony when they learned of the fire. Included in the ‘loss were about a dozen paintings from the brush of the Rev.

Police estimated that the loss would be between $6,000 and $10,000. The victims were Robert Graves, 48, proprietor of the store, and Paul Gross, 22, a watchmaker. Graves said he was unable to estimate the value of the diamonds stolen. The two men entered the store shortly after Mr. Graves had opened it. One bandit was tall, slender. sal- low-appearing and cool. The second was short, well-dressed and very ex- cited. Both had pistols which they displayed with a burst of profanity. and orders to “put up your nands.” The jeweler and his watchmaker| 7, were forced to lie on the floor, face it! down where they were bound with small twine. ‘The robbers gathered up all thet! diamond rings in the show window and walked out after warning their +1 victims not to move for 10 minutes.

He cited particularly the appearance of “technological” unem- ployment because of the displacement of manual labor by new Processes. “Just how far are these technologi- cal changes responsible for our pres- ent unemployment?” Secretary Davis asked, referring to displacement of musicians by talking moving picture films, unloading of ships ‘by convey- ers, and the construction of new rail- rosds by ‘tracklayer! @evices as ex- amples. “Can this question be answered, and if so how are we to answer?” he continued. “This is the problem up- on which we wish your advice.

Detectives also claim to have unearthed a plot to kill the entire family by feeding them ground glass. DENVER WOMAN TO. FACE CHARGE OF MURDERING CHILD Formal Accusation Will Precede Habeas Corpus Action by Defendant, Say Police Denver, ~ Oct. ..22--()--. Mutder charges will be ‘filed against Mrs. Pearl O'Loughlin, held in connection with the death of her 10-year-old step child, Leona, Captain of Detec- tives Bert Clark announced today. He said the charge would be filed before the formal hearing on an application for a writ of habeas corpus which Mrs. O'Loughlin’s attorneys trought yesterday. Death of two family pets from the effects of eating ground glass con- firmed police in their belief that the girl, drowned in a city park lake, was the victim of a plot which had as its object extermination of her entire family. The girl disappeared a week ago. Her bruised body, the stomach con- taining a quantity of ground glass, was found in the park lake Friday. At the time. the girl’s body was re- covered her father, Leo O'Loughlin, a city detective, was in a hospital re- covering from the effects of eating food in which ground glass had been placed. Police advanced the murder plot theory after they learned ground glass was found in the sugar at the home of Dennis O'Loughlin, father of the detective, six weeks ago. The elder O'Loughlin was host at a dinner party attended by Mr. and Mrs. Leo O'Loughlin, Leona, Douglas. Millican, 8-year-old son of Mrs. O'Loughlin poy a former marriage; Mrs. Marybelle Shannon, sister of Mrs. O'Loughlin, and Frank O'Loughlin, brother of Leo. Investigation of their theory led to discovery of ground glass in the or- gans of the dead girl, in the stomach of her father and in two dead pets, @ cat and a dog. The girl's stepmother has main- tained she knew nothing of Leona’s death. Taken to the morgue, she reaffirmed her innocence in view of the child’s body. She was denied bond yesterday on a writ of habeas corpus. G. 0. P.

In the same manner that they fi- nally obtained the eight-hour day 12 years ago, 700 representatives of the seven labor organizations of the rail- road industry in the United States and Canada will meet in Chicago Nov. 12 to lay out a campaign for a six-hour day. For more than a year, it was re- vealed in union records, the operating side of the railroad industry has been confronted with an increasing unem- ployment situation. Thousands of younger members of the unions have been made idleby the current business depression, whileother thousands have been forced from their jobs by the unification of lines and the inroads of bus transportation on some di- visions. A. F. Whitney, president of the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen, said the six-hour day is now a neces- sity and that, at the Chicago confer- ence, committees will be organized to campaign all over the country to shave two hours from the working day just as they did in the historic 1916 fight with cut the working day from 10 to eight hours. Whitney said a five-day week was a more popular suggestion in the shopcraft divisions and among office workers, but that for the operating unions the six-hour day is the more feasible plan because it is better suit- ed to train services. “Something like a 40 or 42-hour week seems the most logical working arrangement for the operating unions,” he said. EXECUTIVES DECLARE PROPOSAL IS UNTIMELY Chicago, Oct. 22.—(7)—A movement of the railway brotherhoods for a six-hour day without pay reductions was regarded as untimely by two rail- road presidents, here today for a cov- ference of industrial leaders. “This is a mighty poor time to ask any such thing,” said Lawrerce A. Downs, president of the Illinois Cen- . He said that in the cur- depression caused by overproduction the railroads “have no money to pay the additional salaries this Sigieok is would require.” He expressed belief that a cut in working hours and employment of more mien would not have the desired effect of creating jobs for idle men. W. B. Storey, president of the Atch- ison, Topeka and Santa Fe railroad, asserted railroads “fiction” to state that divisions could be adjusted to fit = six hour run Mr. Storey added that the effort to increase pay comes at an “extremely. poor time.”
