Detroit Hit Hardest It said Detroit with a 1,568,622 population had the greatest percent- ‘age of unemployment as shown by the special January tabulation. To Denver, went the honor of hav- ing the smallest percentages, 6.9 of the total population and 15.3 of the gainful workers being jobless. The final April census gave the Percentage of gainful workers as “probably not far from 40 per cent,” varying from 32 in North Dakota to 48.5 in Nevada.

Hermann Mueller, Once Chancellor vOf Germany, Dies: (Continued from page 1) March, 1930, when the present Chan- cellor, Dr. Bruening, succeeded him. Flags on all public buildings will re- main at half staff until after the fun- eral, which has been set tentatively for March 29, a week from Sunday, following cremation of the body March 24. Little known outside the confines of the Reich until the revolution of 1918, Hermann Mueller was raised by that upheaval to a place of promin- ence in the new Germany. It was he who signed the Versailles ‘Treaty as one of the plenipotentiaries of defeated Germany, the first im- portant act of an international char- acter in which he figured. Entered Politics Early Politics began to attract Mueller when he was a-young man and he cast his lot with Social Democracy. That movement at the time, although st was “on the march,” was a thorny path. For 10 years he took an active part in party affairs and proved himself an able organizer. When the revolu- tion broke, the Social Democratic leaders took over the different gov- ernment departments. The party leaderships became vacant, but Muel- ler was one of the few organizers who remained and took a firm hand in holding the party reins in the split | j between the majority and the minor- ity (independent) Socialists. It was a critical time for Social Democracy because in the industrial centers thousands seceded to. com- munism. The very existence of the movement would have been jeopar- dized had it not been for the fact that it gained ground more and more in the rural districts. After functioning as a member of the Central Council of the new Ger- man republic, then as a member of the constituent assembly for Bres- au, Mueller was called upon by the Weimar Assembly in 1919 to assume the leadership of the Social Demo- cratic party. The Scheidemann cab- inet collapsed on its refusal to ac- cept the Allies’ peace terms. With the resignation of the late Count Brockdorff Rantzau, foreign minister, his post fell to Mueller as the only available man. When the question arose as to who would go to Versail- les to sign the peace treaty and un- willingness was expressed by most of the statesmen, Mueller decided to un- trist fateful journey to Versailles as the chief representatives of the defeated nation and signed the document that sealed Germany's fate. Chancellor In 1920 ‘With the resignation of Chancellor Gustav Bauer after the Kapp putsch in March, 1920, Mueller was appointed chancellor, but held office only three months. The elections Fehrenbach of the Oatholic Genter os Here le the wreckage of an un! Mounds, Okla., 18, and Hershel! Casey, 23, were kil the ship went into a nose dive at al chancellor, Mueller’s second term as chancellor began in June, 1928, when President von Hindenburg invited him to form a new cabinet to succeed the Marx-Stressemann government. In October of the same year Mueller attended the League of Nations As- sembly as Germany’s representative. Hermann Mueller was born at Mannheim, Baden, May 18, 1876. His tather, Jacob Mueller, conducted a small brewery. The family moved to Koeteschenbroda, near Dresden, and Hermann went to school at Dresden- Neustadt, but did not remain for his final examination. He married Frau- Tein Gottliebe Jaeger. They had two daughters, one of whom became a dentist and the other a lawyer. Two brothers of the chancellor settled in the United States, one in Brooklyn and the other in New Jersey. Outsiders Amazed At Facilities and Attendance Friday (Continued from page 1) local persons and business firms and the numerous individuals who have helped to make the show a success.” Factory representatives and other individuals connected with the auto- motive industry and here for the show were the most surprised persons in the great new memorial building. They were surprised both by the ac- commodations offered and at the manner in which people turned out to see the exhibits. Calls It Finest Show W. A. Cappelin, representing a Cin- cinnati equipment house, said: “This is the finest small show I have ever seen. I have attended 16 motor shows this season, beginnig with New York end Chicago and including most of the big ones. Bismarck doesn't have to take off its hat in competition with any of them. The arrangements are wonderful and the crowd has been a pleasant surprise. Never have I seen more interest and that is en- couraging. After seeing this show I won't. believe that 1931 is a depres- sion year.” M. c Colvin, Springfield, Til, said: | “This is one of the best shows I have ever attended anywhere. This fine. is a credit to any city and | ;@ real surprise to those of us who came here from points outside your State. Those folks who thought they ‘were coming to an unimportant show in a ‘hick’ town have been pleasantly surprised. They don’t understand how it can be but they now know it to be true that a city the size of Bis- marck can be a real metropolitan center. This building would do credit to a city many times the size of Bis- marck. I have .attended shows in cities of 200,000 where the arrange- ments were not as convenient and the show was not as good. The auto- mobile dealers and the city of Bis- marck both deserve credit for the manner in which this show is put on and managed.” Congratulates Capital City W. A. McMillan, Fargo, said: “It is a great show—one of the best. The people of Bismarck: are to be con- gratulated. This building and the facilities provided for this show would do credit to any city of 50,000 population or even more.” Others expressed themselves in the same tone of surprise and amazement and all indicated that Bismarck and its motor show had made an impres- hg on them which they will remem- rr. The Friday night style show, staged by the Rose Shop, presented suits and costumes for street, coats, sport frocks and dresses for afternoon and formal wear, as well as lounging pa- jamas. Shown in the smartest colors for seins and early summer, together ith accessories, the collection show- bh many chic touches which will dis- tinguish clothes of the 1931 season. Prominently featured was the dress with accompanying jacket, which Promises to be the theme not only for day-time wear but for evening also. Models were Mesdames Joseph Dickman, Walter Thompson and R. E. Barneck and the Misses Margaret Wynkoop, Bernice Joslin, Phyllis Thompson, and Bernice Klein. This feature of Friday's program started at 8 p. m., but the show man- agement indicated that Saturday night's. style show probably would start at 8:30 p. m., in order to accom- modate the crowd.

Reed, 15, bout 100 feet, just after taking off. ing musical organizations of the Mis- souri Slope country.- Although both singers and audience labored under a handicap because of the hum of noises and the shriek of whistles tooted by: children in various parts of the hall, the chorus demonstrated real musicianship. Under more favorable circumstances it would have been noteworthy from @ musical stand- point. The basses and beritones were par- ticularly out , executing their itstanding, parts with admirable precision and restraint. The tenor group also included some fine voices which carried the melodies in a creditable. manner. Churchmen Favor Birth Control by Married Couples (Continued from page one) and Mrs. W. A. Newell, of Greensboro, N. C. The committee unanimously agreed “as to the necessity for some form of effective control of the size of the family and spacing of ren, and consequently of control of conception. It is recognized by all churches and all physicians.” The causes of such necessity were listed as “too frequent and too nu- merous pregnancies,” “economic con- sideration” in poor families, and “the problems of over-population.” of Affection ‘The committee also was in unant- mous agreement that “sex union be- tween husbands and wives, as an ex- pression «f mutual affection without elation to procreation, is right. The report was criticized in state- ments by the Right Rev. John J. Dunn, Roman Catholic, vicar general and bishop auxiliary of New York, and by Dr. Frederick H. Knubel, pres- ident of ti.e United Lutheran church al and Hays, were injured. Hays saic id a son, David Reed in America The Roman Catholic church is -10t affiliated with the Fed- eral Council of Churches and the Lutheran church has only a “consult- ative” membership. Bishop Dunn cited the pope’ cent encyclical on marriage: “Since the conjugal act is destined primarily by nature for ihe begetting of chil- dren, those who, in exercising it, de- Uberately dppiae its Lggrten Uae and purpose, against nature an commit a deed which is shameful and intrinsically vicious.” YY {Son of Former | Kaiser Clubbed | Berlin, March 21.—(?)—How he —a Hohenzollern prince and’ son of the former kaiser—was rudely clubbed by German policemen in Koenigsberg last night was re- lated Saturday by August Wil- helm himself, fourth son of the ex-emperor on his arrival from East Prussia. He and Paul Goebbels, Fascist aid, were beaten and bruised at the Koenigsberg railway station when police broke up a national socialist demonstration. “I was struck over the shoulder, then clubbed on the head and ears,” August Wilhelm said. “A lady ‘who got in the way also was clubbed. I appealed to a police major who was standing near, but he merely signalled to another policeman who whacked me again!” WRITER'S MOTHER DIES Los Angeles, March 21.—(}—Mrs. Clara Ogden Stewart, 77, mother of Donald Ogden Stewart, writer, died Friday night of pneumonia, The son will accompany the body today to = CONFESSION CLEARS RECENT ROBBERIES} | Local Man Admits Burglary of Grocery Stores and Theft of Milk Bottles Circumstances surrounding a series of robberies which occurred here re- cently were cleared up Saturday morning when Howard Peterson, 24, Bismarck, signed a confession admit- ting the burglarly of three local gro- cery stores and a wholesale grocery house as well as admitting the theft of milk bottles from west side resi- dences, according to Chief of Police Chris Martineson, who obtained the confession. Peterson, who claims to be in indi- gent circumstances, said he commit- ted the robberies so that he might provide himself and family with something to eat. He was arrested by police on a bad check charge and the confession of the robberies was obtained wile he was being held awaiting a hearing. In his confession Peterson said he had burglarized the John Bashara, J. W. Scott and D. B. Cook groceries during January to get something to eat, On March 19 he stated that he had broken into the offices of the Nash Finch company and had stolen $10 after breaking open the cash register. Enumerating stolen articles he sald he had taken 20 pounds of 35 packages of cigarettes from Cook's and a loaf of bread, a package of » | breakfast food, a jar of jam, a bottle of milk and 11 pennies from the Ba- shara grocery. He confessed to the theft of ap- proximately 50 milk bottles from residence porches, saying he sold them to local grocers BA buy some- thing to eat. Acting on the theory that Peterson might have been the thief who per- petrated the robberies, local authori- ties last week obtained Peterson’s po- lice record from officers in Minneap- olis, his former home. Minnesota of- ficials reported that he was paroled from the state reformatory in 1928, after having spent several years there on a forgery charge. He also had been arrested several times within the last year charged with issuing checks without funds. An accomplice, said to have parti- cipated in two of the robberies, had not been apprehended Saturday noon.
