It is 8 demonstration of the common-sense practicality for which women are noted and should prove of vast benefit to the city by causing the womenfolk of the Missouri Slope area to look. upon Bismarck with new regard and affection. A city which performs @ definite and worthwhile service for its guests cannot help but be a pleasant host. Tt long has been the aim of the business interests of the city to cement as closely as possible its interests with those of the people in the trade territory. Essentially a commercial center, Bismarck will grow and prosper as the service which it renders becomes more noteworthy. The city is indebted to its organized womanhood for seeing this opportunity and seizing it. The attitude of the Women’s Community Council in this effort to benefit women visitors to the city and their children, is character- istic of all that is good in community service and community enter- desire to serve and assist those depends. And at the same time that people living in its trade area by ‘attempting to revitalize the Bis- marck day nursery and make itjof greater usefulness to women rise. ‘This definite step goes beyond the fine phrases which are pleas- * ant to the ear but which, in the final analysis, mean little.

It was not then, and is not now, a commercial ven- ture, but there can be no question of the practical benefits which may accrue from it. ‘The organization of that first nursery, years ago, may prove to be bread upon the waters, returning now and increased many fold. This new movement is one which deserves the endorsement and support of every person interested in either the present or the future of Bismarck.

PANTAGES WILL FAC “TRIAL ON VICE COUNT Theater Man and Four Others Accused of Participating in ‘Love Bazar’ Gan Diego, Calif., April 16—(7)— Alexander Pantages and four co-de- fendants were held ‘Thursday for trial in Superior court on charges that they had subjected girls of high school age to acts of immorality. ‘A justice court Wednesday ordered the wealthy theatre owner and his alleged associates tried after hearing the testimony of Miss Lydia Nitto and Miss Helen Livingston. ‘The decision marked the second time within 18 months that Pantages has been held for trial because of alleged crimes against young women. In October, 1928, he was convicted in Los Angeles of assaulting Eunice Pringle, co-ed dancer. He has been granted a new trial and is at liberty under bond of $100,000. A year after his trial in Los An- geles, he was alleged in complaints filed here to have participated in a party at a fashionable San Diego ho- tel in which Miss Nitto and Miss Livingston allegedly were procured for them through a “vice bazar.” John P, Mills and ° Jesse Shreve, former business associates of Pan- tages, were alleged to have attended the party with him and will be tried at the same time. William Jobelmann, Pantages’ former press agent, and Mrs. Olive Clark Day, accused of supplying the girls, complete the list of defendants.

No celebration has been planned but townspeople are preparing to be at the train in an effort to obtain a glimpse of the royal visitors. The king’s train, which will follow the regular train as a separate sec- tion, is to stop here half an hour to clear customs and to change engines and crews. Representatives of Pres- | ident Hoover are expected to be here. I. J.

Dios in the extreme northeastern corner of their country, were believed Thursday to have fled from the vil- lage, looting it of a large quantity of stores. Marine corps aviators, made sus- picious by silence of the radio station there, flew over Cabo Gracias A Dios ‘Wednesday and were fired wu They dropped 14 bombs but could not encal arsed number el casualties. ey e insurgents appeared to be shoving off in a number of small boats loaded with loot. The insurgents attacked the little town at about 2 a. m. Wednesday and at least one of the Americans there, the tropical radio manager, Albert C. Lester, a native of Texas, escaped to Puerto Cabezas. Other American res- idents include Albert and Edwin Fa- got, New Orleans, and William J. Green, Allegheny, Pa. of whom no information has been received here. The insurgents burned some of the houses in the village. Their activities on the Atlantic coast have the ap- pearance of # general offensive.

PROBABLY WON'T SEND MATERIAL FORCE Washington, April 16.—(7)—It seemed less probable Thursday that the United States would send a ma- terial force to Nicaragua to protect American property. The government had indicated, however, it would make every effort to prevent loss of American lives. The gunboat Asheville, with her nearly three-score marines, was under orders to remain at Puerto Cabezas to guard Americans. Officials here, however, expressed the opinion at- tempts might not be made to protect, Property unless more urgent circum- stances develop. The department had under consid- eration repeated requests from the Standard Fruit and Steamship com- pany of New Orleans for steps which would offer additional protection for its $13,000,000 worth of holdings in northeastern Nicaragua. No official statement of policy was made, but it was indicated the state department is inclined to the belief that the job of maintaining order is that of the native guardia. It was added that marines there are sup- posed to fight only to defend lives.
