He will spend another week there and in Philadel- phia and Baltimore before returning ‘to his homeland. GRANDI CHEERED ON ARRIVAL AT NEW YORK New York, Nov. 20.—(4}—Arriving here early Friday, Dino Grandi was, given an ovation. He gave the Fas- cist salute from the batcony at city hall and heard the crowd below shout “Viva Grandi” in return. There was an anti-Fastic demon- stration, although posters bearing pic- tures of Grandi had been placed along the line of march by uniden- tified persons.

Prediction that the mercury would drop to the vicinity of zero by Satur- day night was made by O. W. Roberts, federal meteorologist in Bismarck. The expected cold wave will follow on the heels of one of the most mild fall weather periods North Dakota has ever experienced. While sections north, east, and south of here have been struck by snow, wind, rain, hail, and electrical storms, indirectly causing human death and great damage to property, North Dakota has enjoyed mild tem- Peratures and cltar weather. Snow Reports Denied Roberts said the drought-stricken area in northwestern North Dakota by snow Wednes- aS He declared that section teceived only flurries of snow and a heavy frost. Mercury in Bismarck reached a minimum of 23 degrees above zero during the night. Other minimums in the state were: Devils Lake, 18; Fargo, 24; and Williston, 30. At 8. m. Friday it was 24 degrees here. A heavy fog which lowered on the Fargo district Thursday night lifted Priday.

The confer: Her Ability ALFONSO DECLARED. GUILTY OF TREASON Beautifully Dressed Women and Well-Groomed Men Pack Spanish Chambers Madrid, Nov. 20.—()—Don Alfonso De Bourbon, former King Alfonso XIII of Spain, was declared outlawed and banished by the constituent as- sembly Friday and thus joined the long dead Charles Stuart of England and Louis Capet of France as the third powerful western European monarch to be decreed guilty of trea- son by a revolutionary government. Unlike the luckless Charles I and Louis XVI, however, Alfonso is not likely to face an executioner's block. He was safe in exile in the comfort- able remoteness of neighboring France as the assembly handed down its decree. The vote of the assembly was by acclamation. It was delivered after a Asks Illinois Court | To Clear His Name | at ° Springfield, Il, Nov. 20.—(P)}— Jesse Lucas, who spent 23 years in prison for a murder which an- other man is reported to have confessed from his death bed, Fri- day asked the Illinois supreme court to reverse itself and clear him of the stigma of “murderer.” The plea, which attorneys termed extraordinary because it had no basis in specific statutes, purported affidavits from _ witnesses who helped con- vict Lucas in 1909 for the slaying of Clyde Showalter at Mt. Carmel, ll, declaring their testimony at the trial was perjured. Lucas was released from the southern Illinois penitentiary at Chester last August and granted ® parole by the state after Anna Smith of Decatur, Indiana, brought to light a confession she said she took from George Pond, & friend, on his death bed.

It came after @ five-hour debate in the assembly chamber, packed with radiantly dressed women and fault- lessly attired men, many of them friends of the former royal family and of the aged count. The scene, inside the chamber and in the streets out- side, was more like the opening of the opera in the days of the monarchy than the setting for the trial of a de- posed king for treason against the state. Judges Will Decide Scholarship Winners! Chicago, Nov. 20.—(®)—Five judges met Friday to select the hundred boy and girl winners of the International Harvest company’s $50,000 Agricultur- al college scholarship contest, a fea- ture of the celebration this year of the centennial of Cyrus McCormick's in- vention of the reaper. G. L. Noble, managing director of the national committee on boys and girls club work, said more than 100,- 000 members of 4-H clubs participated in the contest. Judges included Arthur M. Hyde, secretary of agriculture, and Fred- erick E. Murphy, publisher of the Minneapolis Tribune. Each of the 100 winners will be giv- en a $500 scholarship. Those chosen will be announced Dec. 2. Sioux Falls Market Deprived of Liquor} Chicago, Nov. 20.—(P)—Fifty pints: of moonshine were on their way to market in Sioux Falls, 8. D., when the Oak Park police intervened. The suburban police thought the occupants of a passing automobile looked like hoodlums so they arrested Kobrey Demona, 22, of Sioux Falls, and Clifton Cook, 45, of Chicago. They were taking the liquor north- west. “The market's shot in Chicago,” said Cook. “At least we find it that way. We were going to Sioux Falls to sell this stuff.” Germany Asks Probe of to Pay Debts Seeks Special Advisory Com- mittee to Examine Situation in Fatherland Berlin, Nov. 20.—(?)}—The German government in a memorandum to the World Bank made public Friday made application for the convocation of a special advisory committee to examine her ability to pay reparations as pro- vided in the “new plan of Hague agreements of January 20, 1930.” This is the Young plan. The memorandum said: “As the present circumstances re- quire that measures be taken with the greatest urgency, the German government proposes that a special advisory council should meet, without delay and that it should carry out its task as quickly as possible, so that a conference of those governments which are concerned with decisions to be reached may take place in the very near future.” The memorandum emphasized the “merely preparatory character” of Previous measures, and asserted Ger- many’s financial situation had reach- ed a state of “extreme tension” dur- ing the months since they were tak- en. ; The world, said the note, “has in- creasingly realized the inter-depend- ence of different financial problems caused by this situation, and the ne- cessity to tackle them as a whole without delay.” The idea that this task would best be approached by convening the spe- cial advisory committee arose recently, the note said, and since under the Young plan the initiative in such a move ‘lies with the German govern- ment, Germany therefore decided to take the step. Lottery Operators Face Prison Terms Sante Fe, N. M., Nov. 20.—(P)— Thirteen men, charged by the govern- ment with operation of a counterfeit lottery scheme designed to “get the other fellow’s money without giving him a ghost of a show to get it back” face punishment ranging up to two years imprisonment and a $1,500 fine. The maximum sentence was passed by Federal Judge Colin Neblett ‘Thursday upon Jack Michelson of Al- buquerque, N. M., reputed leader of the group accused of use of the mails to defraud in the operation of a lot- tery on the Saratoga sweepstakes last August 6. The government charged the men collected $1,000,000 under the name of the International Sweepstakes asso- ciation and that patrons received nothing. One Killed and Four Injured in Accident Jamestown, N. D., Nov. 20.—>)— One man was injured fatally and four others suffered lesser hurts when an automobile collided with a truck near here Thursday. William Dahn, 30, son of Mr. and Mrs. Otto Dahn of Steele, died an| hour after the crash. Riding with him were his sister Pearl, 18, who was cut and bruised, and his fiancee, Osea Gebhardt, 17 who suffered a frac- tured arm and broken jaw. In the truck were James Yatskis, Jamestown, whose collar bone was| fractured, and his brother, Frank who was injured internally besides suffering a broken arm. They were taking four cows to their home at the edge of town.

CONTEMPT OF COURT CASES CONSIDERED BY FEDERAL JUDGES Refuse to Indicate When Deci- sion Will Be Made; Two Views Given Minneapolis, Nov. 20. es in contempt of court proceedings against Mrs. Genevieve A. Clark, only woman juror in the W. B. Foshay trial, were taken under advisement Friday by two federal judges who jheard allegations she perjured herself when examined for membership on ithe panel. Judges Gunnar B. Nordbye and John B. Sanborn, who heard the case, refused to indicate when their de- cision would be made after arguments were presented giving two entirely ‘different pictures of the housewife whose insistence on acquittal of Fo- shay and six co-defendants on mail fraud charges resulted in discharge of the jury after a week's delibera- tion. The government based its case largely on Mrs. Clark’s inference, when examined, that she had been a housewife since her marriage, while it was brought out after the trial and admitted by the woman that she was employed by the Foshay company for a short time in 1929. It charged this answer as well as others were aimed to disarm the court as to her association and that she had expressed herself as having a “special reason” for wanting to serve ion the panel. Fred Horowitz, Los An- ‘geles, special government prosecutor, said while “no motive such as the this phase of this case still is under that she had no interest to serve as a juror save that it would be a new ex- perience. He said the most Mrs. Clark could be convicted for “is fool- ishness and that ss no uncommon thing among jurors. He characterized the charges as persecution intended to punish Mrs. Clark for having insisted on her view point while 11 male jurors sought to persuade her to vote for conviction. He said the effects of the unusual proceedings will be to “force jurors to vote for conviction to assure them- ‘selves from becoming victims of sim- ilar action.” Will Rogers to Be War Correspondent Medford, Ore., Nov. 20.—(?)—Will Rogers is on his way to the Far East to be a war correspondent. “I'll be back in time for the presidential jcampaign,” he said, “I wouldn't miss one of those for all the wars.” NAUTILUS IS SUNK Bergen, Norway, Nov. 20.—(?)—The polar submarine Nautilus, in which the expedition of Sir Hubert Wilkins proceeded to the arctic last summer, ‘was sunk off the coast here Friday. City Limits “|Boys Miss Chance to Bag Deer Near Despite Bow and Arrow While their elders were out in the woods hunting big game, three Bismarck boys, one of whom is unusually adept with a bow and arrow, had their deer hunting brought almost to their doorsteps Thursday afternoon. Apparently fleeing from the army of hunters in the Missouri River bottoms near here, a buck and a doe came close to the city Umits at the northern end of the city about 4 o'clock. James McConkey, 14-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. J. A. McCon- key, sighted the deer and immed- jately called two of his friends, Duncan, 17, and John Wallace, 15, grandsons of Mr. and Mrs. Dun- can McGillis. Duncan came armed with his -30 calibre rifle and Jimmy had his bow and arrow and soon the animals were in flight. After Jimmy failed to hit his target with an arrow, Duncan took several shots at the fleeing buck with his rifle but failed to find his target. They followed the deer past the Country Club and the Ward farm, north of the city along the river, and then lost track of the animals in the woods. Duncan described the buck as a “three-pointer” and said that both were large inrTo BODY 10 MAKE STUDY OF MANCHURIA PUZZL® United States Becomes More Alarmed at Unusual Silence of Russians BRIAND AND DAWES CONFER Japanese Will Cease Anti-Chin- ese Activity But Won't Withdraw Troops eee The Associated Press) japan and China agreed principle Friday ‘night at.

Ambassador Dawes and Chairman Briand of the league council conclud- ed a conference at noon at which it was understood the attitude of the United States on the Manchurian question was discussed and which league circles hoped might provide a new course of action. The council expected to meet pri- vately late Friday afternoon, but General Dawes said an American representative could not attend the session. Ambassador Dawes in a statement said his government hoped a settle- ment in accord with principles of treaties would be arrived at through discussion and conciliation. The United States must preserve its full freedom of judgment as to its course, he said. His nation is, of course, not a member of the league and, therefore, cannot take part in discussions bearing upon the applica- tion of the machinery of the league covenant, Might Be Embarrassing Because such discussion may arise in the present situation he said “it is obvious my presence at the meet- ings of the council would not only {be inappropriate but might even em- barrass the efforts of the council it- self.” A group composed of the American, British, French and Polish military attaches at Tokyo was expected to leave there Friday to investigate con- ditions in Manchuria, the Japanese government announced. The Chinese government at Nan- king published a telegram from Gen- eral Mah Chan Shan in which the general was quoted as he evacuated Tsitsihar to save the lives of civilian inhabitants’ after Japan- ese airplanes began a bomb attack. ‘Weeping women greeted the arrival of 19 Japanese dead and eighty in- jured from the Nonni river battle at Mukden Friday. The total Japan- ese casualties were reported to be 49 killed and 155 wounded. Moscow Withholds Comment Moscow newspapers published for the first time news of the occupation of Tsitsihar but refrained from com- ment. Martial law was again proclaimed at Tilentsin when bandits reopened ine in scattered sections of th city. Because of the breakdown of th field radio station accompanying th: Japanese troops there was no new: of developments in the region of Tsit- sihar and beyond. Telegraph wires have been cut between Taonan and the Nonni river bridge, preventing communication between Mukden and Anganchi. At Wasington Japan’s said his country’s troops withdrawn from Tsitsihar as soon General Mah Chan Shan’s defeat completed, and at Tokyo the ter of war said they would out within a few days, but den Japanese sources would remain in northern “so long as the menace” of Mah Chan Shan ew
