If it does it will be an all-time record, surpassing by nearly 1,000 the record vote cast ely in 1928 at the presidential elec- ion. Returns from a voters census, made by the American Legion, show there are 5,250 eligible voters in the city of Bismarck. The Legionnaires have been given the task of gettng out the vote and will exert every ef- fort to get the last man and woman to the polls. Urging every Bismarck ctizen to vote early, the Legion has neverthe- less set up an organization to’ bring in the stragglers. Veterans will be on duty at every polling place all day, checking the lists of eligible voters as disclosed by the recent voters census, made especially for the purpose. As the day wanes, those who have not cast their ballots will be-checked and cars will be sent out to bring them in, Absent Voters Balloting ‘This afternoon, as a preliminary to the main event, the Legiorinaires were helping those eligible to cast absent voters ballots to get their ex- pressions counted.

The idea behind these plans, it was explained, is to see that the votes are cast early.

D., March 12.—(7)— Three Lisbon young people drowned early Saturday when the-car in which they were riding broke through the ice on the Sheyenne river near here jWhich they were crossing on their | way home from a dance. The ‘dead are Lillian Arne, John Miller, and Clinton Seelig, ranging in age from 17 to 19 years. Three oth- ers in the car, an enclosed sedan, who escaped by breaking through the top of the machine to gain the safety of the bank after the harrowing exper- jence, were Gladys and Arthur Arne and Clifford Wright. Me The accident took place at a point in the stream 10 miles east and four miles north of. Lisbon, where cars have been driving all winter. ‘The six young people had attended @ dance at Scoville school and had left the hall shortly after mignight. Electing to cross the rivet rather than to go a longer distance where a bridge was located, the car was driven on to the ice of the Sheyenne. = the car sank in seven feet of wa- r. Arne smashed their way out of the trapped machine and clambered over the ice-choked river to safety. After futile efforts to rescue the doomed trio, they went to a nearby farmhouse and obtained help. The bodies were recovered. No funeral arrangements have been made.

As yet, however. the state depart- ment has no advices from Shanghai ag to any definite steps having been taken to put the plan into effect.

The secretary's state- ment expressing the willingness of the U. 8. to cooperate in the league effort was communicated to Drummond. Consequently the league and the U.

CHINESE AND JAPS ENGAGE IN SKIRMISH Shanghai, March 12.—(?)—Jap- anese headquarters said a _ brisk skirmish between Chinese cavalry and Japanese took place on the front line five miles north of Kating early today. . The fighting lasted an hour, they said, and the Chinese apparently suf- fered numerous casualties but the Japanese forces lost no men. Additional thousands of Japanese | troops were landed in transports at Woosung and sent to places on the 30-mile front around Shanghai. Japanese diplomats said they hoped .|for the best from peace discussions . but the army went grimly about pre- paring for the worst. ‘The Japanese consulate said its in- vestigation into the beating of Miss Rose Marlowe, American missionary teacher, a week ago revealed one Jap- anese civilian was responsible. They said he had been sentenced to 15 days in jail.

They surmised, a trustworthy source revealed, the five laid a kid- nap scheme as early as last Novem- ber against the family and fortune of Col. Charles A. Lindbergh. The plot was abandoned at the time, it was believed, but whether it was picked up again and carried through was a question the greatest kidnaping investigation in the coun- try’s history was trying to answer. One of the suspects, the source of the disclosure said, is in custody on a charge unrelated to the kidnaping. He was identified as the inmate of the Tombs prison in New York brought here Friday after Morris Rosner, expert fixer acting as Col. Lindbergh's undercover agent, inter- viewed him at the prison.
