DIES FROM INJURIES RECEIVED IN MISHAP ONMORTON HIGHWAY Mrs. Rose Brendal, Former Mandan Woman, Lives an Hour After Accident Mrs. Rose Phillips Brendal, about 35, of Miles City, Mont., died in a Mandan hospital Wednesday from in- juries sustained in an automobile ac- cident eight miles weet of. Mandan st, about 7 8. m. She lived for an “te after being which Mrs. Brendal was riding, is be- ing held by Morton county authori- ties pending an investigation of the circumstances surrounding the trage- ay. According to Coroner John Ken- nelly, who visited the scene of the ac- cident shortly after it occurred, the tracks of the car indicated that it had been driven at an angle towards the ditch for more than 75 feet. After hitting the ditch the machine turned over and then righted itself, Kennelly said. An inquest was expected to be held Mrs. Mandan to get two daughters who were visiting relatives there. A daugh- ter of Joe Phillips of 206 11th Ave., N. E., she formerly had lived in Man- dan for many years. Relatives did not know of her in- tended visit to Mandan and when the news of her death was ‘reported it was at first supposed that Mrs. Ed- win Tradup of Mandan was the vic- tim. The misunderstanding arose through the fact that Mrs. Tradup is often called Rose by her friends. She is a waitress in a Mandan restaurant. Reports that Mrs. Brendal had been married recently to Reeves could not be verified. She was divorced from Joe Brendal of Mobridge, 5. D., some! time ago. Besides three children, who have been living in South Dakota, Mrs. Brendal leaves her father, a brother John Phillips, Mandan; and_ three sisters, Mrs. August Tradup, Minne- apolis; Mrs. H. W. Craine, Mandan; and Mrs. Edwin Tradup. Funeral arrangements have not been made. DISTRICT DEPUTIES CHOSEN FOR LEGION Fred Seeba, Harvey, Is Ap- pointed For Fourth, Roy Dow For Sixth district.

SPANISH PRESIDENT QUITS AFTER ACTION . ‘ON STATE RELIGION Cabinet Also Reported to Have Resigned Also to Indicate Its Support CATHOLICISM REPUDIATED Fist Fights Between Catholics and Socialists Develop on Chamber Floor Madrid, Oct. 14—(P)—Exactly six months after he was elected, Niceto Alcala Zamora resigned Wednesday as president of the Spanish republic, and reports followed quickly that his| whole cabinet also had stepped out. Reports of the cabinet resignation came from persons in a position to know what was going on. The cabinet confirmed the presi- dent's retirement and then, it was re- liably reported, decided to indicate its support by following his example. The issue which brought about these sudden developments revolves about a difference of opinion con- cerning the treatment of Catholic or- ders under the Republican constitu- tion whose provisions end the cen- turies-old official Catholicism of Spain. Senor Alcala Zamora and those who support him contend that regulatory measures governing the activities of the priesthood should not be too stringent.

The vote was preceded by a long- drawn-out debate in which Catholic deputies proposed 20 other amend- ments in order to defend the inter- ests of the church and resulting in an outbreak of fist-fighting between Catholics and Socialists on the chamber floor. ‘ Article 24, providing for the im- mediate dissolution of all church orders and the nattonalization of their property, was previously re- }considered by a vote of 164 to 39. It was sponsored by the radical social- ists and by the socialists, ultimately victorious on the amend- ment. Alcala Zamora and Minister of the Interior Miguel Maura expressed djs- grounds it was too radical. Some leaders said it was aimed at the ex- pulsion of the Jesuits. Others said expelled orders would find refuge in Belgium and other countries. Vote Was 267 to 41 The Catholic church was divorced from its age-old union with the state with the adoption of article 3 of the constitution by the assembly Tues- day night, voting 267 to 41. It de- clared “no state religion exists” and banned the church from engaging in commercial, industrial and educa- tional activities.

At the inquest. witnesses testified the youth had sped through the heavy traffic at a speed of about 50 miles an hour.

New York, Oct. 14—(P)—Just as soon as her ankles get better, Mrs. Ida Wood intends to “go out and look for the rest of my money.” The folds of her old-fashioned gowns and places in her hotel room elready have yielded a fortune in currency and bonds— nearly a million dollars, The 70- pound, 93-year-old woman insists, however, there is more. Her ankle weakness, physicians said, is due to lack of nutrition during the months she lived frugally in her simple quarters with bundles of $10,000 banknotes, diamonds and other costly jewels within arm’s reach. ‘Mrs, Wood, after years of living on such a slender budget as to call for the purchase of a single egg at a time, would be dismayed at the amount already expended in her behalf since the court has taken over her affairs.

The opposing faction is headed by Mrs. William ©. Shields, a step-granddaughter. Five trunks belonging to Mrs. Wood were opened Tuesday and another small fortune in gems was found. There were watches set with rose diamonds, rare necklaces and heavy bracelets. The most valuable jewelry of all—the diamond necklace Mrs. ‘Wood wore at the Infanta Euela- lia ball in Madison Square Gar- | den in 1893—has not been found. | Other trunks remain to be open- | ed, and it may be in one of them; or it may be that it is concealed ; im some unfound cache which Mrs. when , Pioneer, Di BISMARCK RESIDENT SINCE 1885 STRICKEN LATE TUESDAY NIGHT Was Widow of Walter H.

Lowe. Immediately after the court grant- ed the request, the defendant and his counsel went into a private con- ference, the purpose or outcome of this was not announced. A peculiar twist in the case came during the arraignment when Sav- ora’s son, John, was made a witness for the prosecution as a means of preventing him from calling upon or seeing his father. two chemists of Northwestern uni- versity at Evanston, Ill., where a pair of Savora’s bloodstained trousers jwere recently sent to determine whether the stains upon them were from human blood, are listed upon the information filed with the court against Savora. The state's attorney has not said he has been informed by the chem- ists thet the bloodstains were those of a human but the listing of the names of the two chemists upon the information as witnesses was regard- ed as indicating the prosecutor might have information which he 1s not divulging.

Long's first line of de- fense Wednesday against the attempt of Lieutenant Governor Paul N. Cyr to seize the governorship. A company of National Guardsmen, called out after Cyr took the guber- natorial oath of office Tuesday and demanded that Long turn the office over to him, was demobilized at Gov- ernor Long’s order. He said he had not ordered the guard out. After taking the governor’s oath before P. H. Anderson, deputy clerk of the Louisiana supreme court, Cyr addressed a letter to Long formally enending that. he surrender his of- fice. Before receiving the letter, Long declared he intended to remain as governor until next May. Cyr, with the support of United States Senator Edwin 8.

For the time being, at least, there will be no further private conversa- tions between Baro! Chiang Japan. The Nanking government was represented as having taken the view that any further such talks might be misconstrued as indicating China’s willingness to enter into direct nego- tiations with Japan before the latter evacuated the occupied districts. Vernacular reports of the conver- sation here Monday between Chiang Tso-Pin and Baron Shidehara in- dicated the Chinese envoy had in- sisted upon the withdrawal of Japan- ese troops from Manchuria as a pre- regulate of any immediate negotia- jons.

Instead of seeking settlement of the question by direct negotiation with Japan, China appealed to the League of Nations, asking its inter- vention. Japan has contended before the league council] the Manchurian problem is one requiring direct nego- tiations between the two countries, and not a matter warranting action by any outside agency.
