Attention was called to his presence by P. M. Hansen, publisher of the Jamestown Sun, prime mover in the effort to bring the capital here and principal speaker at the meeting. Principal arguments made for the removal movement were loyalty to Jemestown and its interests; an al- leged saving to the taxpayers on state mileage costs; the contention that the capital was located wrongly in the first pli the contention that “the Politicians” wanted the capital at Bismarck for some dark purpose of their own and that Bismarck is using nefarious tactics in its campaign to keep the capital. The organization of the Jamestown For Capital club was completed by endorsing the)12 incorporators of the organization and ‘selecting, 10 others, mostly farmers, to serve with them.

It shows what we are up against and ‘what we must do to protect ourselves. Numerous assertions made by the removalists to each other are being widely circulated by them to voters in all parts of the state. .Their arguments are based on wild assertions and show no respect for facts, It becomes Bismarck’s ‘duty, therefore, if it is to protect itself against gross misstatement, half truths and down- right untruths, to see that the voters of the state are properly in- formed. We must remember that some persons mistake assertions for facts. The half-truths and untruths contained in the speeches made by the removalists at Jamestown and circulated throughout North Dakota will be reviewed and pointed out in this newspaper next Monday. Write your letters on capital removal today. Warn your friends against the malicious and untruthful propaganda from Jamestown and tell them the truth, Bismarck must be awake and stay awake until the votes are cast and counted. Write those letters today. Keep writing until you have done your bit to acquaint your friends and relatives everywhere in North Dakota with the facts in this case. Only if this is done will the result be definitely assured. MEN ARE TRAPPED IN (WEST VIRGINIA MINE | FOLLOWING BLOWUP! Between 23 and 33 Believed Unaccounted For; Explo- sion Is Mystery Bluefield, W.

Henry Ford Planning For Wide Production Detroit, Feb. 27.—(#)—Declaring he was prepared to “risk everything we've got” in an effort to start an in- dustrial revival, Henry Ford an- nounced Saturday that he has pro- vided himself with stocks of materials anticipating a possible production Program of 1,500,000 cars a year. He eftimates his program will call |for the expenditure this year of $300.< 000,000 in Detroit and Michigan alone for raw and fabricated materials, freight and shipping costs and labor. Purchases of raw materials and man- place Ecd beepers parts throughout the Unit- ed States, he said, would aggregate ‘$52,000,000 a month. Production of the new eight and ‘the improved four-cylinder models recently announced, Ford said, prob- ably will begin next week, and “be- fore long we expect to be making from 5,000 to 6,000 cars a day.” ‘A ppeals Court Affirms Al Capone’s Conviction Only Intervention of U. S. Sus| preme Court Can Avert Serving of Term icago, Feb. 27.—(7)—The convic- tion of “Scarface Al” Capone on charges of evading income tax laws was affirmed Saturday by the Uni- ted States circuit court of appeals. The high court upheld the indict-| ments in which the gangster was charged with cheating the govern- ment of some $200,000 in tax, the five of 12 counts and sentenced to llyears and a fine of $50,000, Only the intervention of the U. 8. supreme ‘court can prevent Capone's removal to the federal penitentiary at Leavenworth, Kansas. Ever since he was sentenced by Federal Judge James H. last Oct. 24, Capone has been in the Cook county jail, where he did not get credit on his penitentiary term. Friday the U. 8. marshal placed a Special 24-hour guard at his cell be- cause of the many rumors that he was still controlling his gang and possibly planning @ break if his ap- Peal were denied. The appeal was based almost en- tirely on, the alleged insufficiency ‘of the indictment. Capone's attorneys argued the indictments were so vague Capone could have been tried any number of times on them and that because of their general nature ity was impossible to present a proper defense.
