Be i ees ee ee Judge A. T. Cole Says Move- ment Inspired By James- town Group Is Unwise Belief that Bismarck should remain the state capital and that the move- ment inspired by a few persons in Jamestown is unwise is expressed by District Judge A. T. Cole of Fargo in a letter made public Wednesday by the Bismarck capital defense com- mittee. Judge Cole expresses friendliness for Jamestown but ‘warns against moving the capital and increasing the tax burden, against establishing a precedent which may result in mov- ing other state institutions and against permitting local pfide and Jocal ambition to rule in a matter of importance to the state as a whole. Is Centrally Located The essential parts of Judge Cole’s letter follow: “Bismarck is quite centrally located and right on the Missouri river, and the water supply is always certain and never questionable. Besides, one- half of the state, practically speak- ing, lies west of the Missouri river, and much, or a considerable portion of the territory south, and running to some extent in a southerly direc- tion is more convenient to Bismarck. for the capital than any other town in he state. The western half of the State is entitled to all of the consider- ation that the easern half is, or any other portion, and we must bear in mind that the west ts going to grow and that we, in the eastern section, are as much interested in having the western part grow as we are in hav- ing our own section grow. Our inter- ests are in common and the whole State and every part of it must pull together, or we are pulling apart. “We have a number of state’ in- stitutions and very important ones in the eastern half, and we should not aim to monopolize state instiu- tions in that particular section. We should aim to build up every section of the state and so far as the capi- tal is concerned it should be so loc- ated that in the future, as our state grows, it wil Ibe as centrally located as possible. Capitol Hill at Bis- marck is an ideal place for building the capitol and that also should be taken into consideration. “In these times when some people talk about depression—a matter that Should not be continuously reiterated —we should certainly see to it that we do not engage in any foolish ex- pense. While Jamestown is a good city and it has good people in and about it, yet it is not a question of simply dealing with the good people in a town or about it. The matter of capital location is a matter of locating and holding a location that will serve the best interests of the people in the future and it would seem for this purpose Bismarck is what may be called an ideal. location. Should Be Settled “The capital question has been supposed -to be settled and in my judgment it is settled, but if we re- Jocate the capital, we will have the same question up, and may have it up, as to the relocation of any and all other institutions in the state, ‘We want matters settled and perm- anently settled and do not want to. be forever trading and dealing in matters of this kind. Local pride and local ambition may be well used in certain matters, but local pride and local ambition should not be al- lowed to dominate, for the time be- ing, in the location of any state in- stitution, unless such location fits in for the best service of the people and not simply to favor local pride or Hawaii Prosecutor Associated Press Pho-o James L. “Smiling” Gilliland, city and county prosecutor of Honolulu, who prosecuted the five alleged attackers of Mrs, Thomas H. Mas- sie In a case declared a mistrial, is slated to lead the prosecution of Mrs, Granville Fortescue and Lieut. Thomas H. Massie for the killing of one of the ed attackers, luxurious settings in New York City and Palm Beach. Carole Lombard, Ricardo Cortez, Paul Lukas, Juliette Compton, and George Barbier are headliners in the cast, which adequately tempers sin- cerity with a sense of sophisticated satire, befitting the vein of the au- thor. —————_ + HOOVER DIGS INTO WORK Washington, Feb. 11.—(AP)—Un- der terrific pressure of work, Pres- ident Hoover Wednesday turned his back on all purely social activities of his office.

Lutherans to Hold Weekly Lent Rites The first of a series of mid-week- ly Lenten services will be held at the Trinity Lutheran church Wednesday evening at 7:30 p. m., Rev. Opie 8. Rindahl, pastor, has announced. Similar services will be held each Wednesday during the remainder of the season. The subject of sermons to be given will fall under the head- ing of “Motives That Crucify,” Rin- dahl said. The subject of his first sermon will be “Indifference.” | Tribune Want Ads Bring Results local ambition. “Possibly it may be said that this ds none of my business, but I believe it is some of my business, inasmuch a I am a citizen of the state and have been for 47 years, and inasmuch as I live in Fargo where we have one of the state institutions located on the eastern border of the state. Let us permanently settle the capital question, and settle it permanently at Bismarck. “I have as much pride in James- town and that section of the coun- «try and that community as any local resident, and we feel rather proud of the progress that section has made, but it seems to me that to attempt to relocate the capital and to take it from Bismarck would be a very un- wise move.” ————___,___»4 | Atthe Movies | ——— es CAPITOL THEATRE * Recklessly adventurous rather than romantic, Ronald Colman comes to the Capitol theatre, showing Friday and Saturday in “The Unholy Gar- den,” as Samuel Goldwyn’s first screen presentation of the year. For the first time in two years, Colman is no longer the suave pol- ished English gentleman. Instead, he is an outcast and a renegade, hid- ing out with a dozen other refugees from the law in a strange outpost at the edge of the Sahara. Disheveled and unshaven, hair trouseled and clothes mussed, he is a sharp con- trast to the immaculately groomed hero of “The Devil to Pay,” “Raffles” and “Bulldog Drummond,” his earl- ier pictures for Mr. Goldwyn. Estelle Taylor and Fay Wray have the principal feminine roles. As the wanton voluptuary of the story, Miss Taylor has the biggest part since her memorable appearance in “Cimar- ron.” Miss Wray is the protected daughter of the embezzling recluse, hiding at the Inn. An extraordinary gathering of character players appear as “the fam- ily,” the exiled ti Tully Marshall, Lawrence Grant, Ull- ric Haupt, Kit Guard, Henry Armetta and Mischa Auer are among the thespian menaces of the yarn, —____ PARAMOUNT THEATRE Although the underlying thought in “No One Man,” screen feature at the Paramount Theatre this week, follows the purport of the orig- inal Rupert Hughes novel, that “no Mourning CHINESE GIRLS STIR PATRIOTISM ind indignation are the pressing In demonstraticns shown In Above giris are mourning for lost cities of Manchuria, while below is ehown a patriotic parade in Shanghai to show indignation at Japanese cccupation of Manchurian cities.
