Frazier Says Primary Vote Binds Delegates CHINESE AND JAPS IN CONFERENCE ON PLANS FOR PEACE Defenders Reported Hopeful Over Situation; Jap Troops Withdrawing Shanghai, March 19.—(?)}—Japan- ese and Chinese authorities met in a new peace conference today at the British consulate and participants in the parleys said progress was being made. Chinese official quarters at Nank- ing were reported hopeful over the situation and although the conferees. here declined to reveal the nature of their discussions, Nelson T. Johnson, American minister to China, said the move for peace was progressing. The ministers of the U. S., Great Britain and France and the Italian Charge. D'Affaires attended the con- ference. Quo Taichi, Chinese vice- minister for foreign affairs, repre- sented China and Mamoru Shigemit- su, Japanese minister to China, rep- resented Japan. In the meantime the Japanese arm- fes shivered in the cold of a Chinese winter, envying those of their fel- lows lucky enough to be quartered on warm . transports, bound home to Japan. Chinese officials at Nanking in- dicated the present parleys, preceded by ‘Japanese troop withdrawals, would be followed by a more broad round, table'conference later, with the world powers sitting in to iron out the details of a permanent solution. Neutral observers said, however, that although the Japanese forces are being slightly reduced by the withdrawals, the army here is strong- er than Parpckore., (oe. Jt 8 shetter juipped.

Senator Declares Republicans Elected Must Support Preference Winner Washington, March 19.—(}—Sena- tor Frazier, (R., N. D.), issued a state ment Saturday asserting that the Nortlt Dakota preference primary in the Republican: contest is binding upon the delegates. Senator Frazier’s statement read: “Newspaper reports of the recent Presidential. preference primary in North Dakota carry repeatedly state- ments to the effect that if so-called Hoover delegates are elected they will not be bound by the preference for President indicated in the vote for Presidential candidates. “Such statements are misleading, jand, in tending to deride the North Dakota primary, are in line with sys- jtematic efforts being made to dis- credit all primary elections. |_ “In justice to the people of North {Dakota it should be understood that the popular vote of the party in favor of a presidential candidate is man- datory upon the delegates elected in the primary.” PRECEDENT INDICATES DELEGATES NOT BOUND Fargo, N. D., March 19.—()—While Senator Frazier claimed in Washing- ton that the state's primary vote, which went for Joseph I, France in the Republican preference contest, is binding on the delegates elected, the Precedent set. has been for the del- egates to support at the presidential conventions the candidate to whom they were pledged originally. An outstanding example is the 1924 primary, when Coolidge won the pre- ference vote, defeating the late Sen- ator La Follette and Hiram John- son. In the delegate race, La Follet- te won six of the state's delegates who supported him in the national Republican convention, and even after the nomination of Coolidge, re- fused to cast their ballots for Cool- idge when the: convention was asked to’ make his choice unanimous, news- Daper reports of that convention stated. ate Nine to Back Hoover “North Dakota's nine real Repub- lican delegates were pledged to Hoov- er before the primary campaign, con- ducted their campaign on that basis, and will vote for Hoover at the Re- Publican convention in June,” de- clared Arthur W. Fowler, Fargo, real Republican chairman. “I cannot say what the other two Nonpartisan League delegates will do. In view of the fact that the Hoover delegate ticket attracted a much larger vote than was cast for France, it would be my opinion these other two should be morally bound to support Hoover.” The claim has been made in po- litical circles that the intent of the North Dakota preference law is to have the delegates support the presi- dential preference candidate.

Powers Executed For Murder of Mrs. Derothy Pressler-Lemke , ADMITS KILLING FIVE MORE Bodies of All Buried in Narrow Ditch on Deserted West Virginia Farm Moundsville, W. Va., March 19.—(>) —Harry F. Powers died on the, gal- lows Friday night for the murder of Mrs, Dorcthy Pressler-Lemke, .who had been one of several “mail order” sweethearts. Shortly after Powers was pronounc- ed dead, Dr. H. H. Haynes, a physi- cian of Clarksburg, W. V: nnounc- ed he had a signed confession from the condemned man admitting in de- tail the murder of five persons, in- cluding Mrs. Pressler-Lemke. The others were Mrs. Asta Buick Eicher and her three children of Park Ridge, Il]. The bodies of all were buried in a narrow ditch near a g: age on Powers’ wife's deserted farm) near Clarksburg. Denied His Guilt The “Bluebeard” was brought to trial and convicted only for the death of Mrs. Pressler-Lemke. He denied guilt until the moment of his hanging. A short time after Powers’ body | was removed from the death cham- ber, an envelope addressed to War- den A. C. Scroggins was opened. Therein was a letter in which the man about to die had protested his innocence. He assailed capital pun- ishment, which he insisted fails to reduce the number of murder cases. He reiterated that his trial was “unfair,” that it was held in an opera house “where people go to be enter- tained.” He recalled he had twice been menaced by a mob, yet had been refused a change of venue. Near Nervous Collapse Fears Powers would suffer a nerv- Jous collapse were expressed an hour before the hanging, when he was visited by the shériffand the war- n. Questioned about what Had béconte! of Mrs. Lemke's jewelry, Powers, sob- bing bitterly, staggered from his there was a Bible, and cried: mother, that I know nothing about| them.” } Nearly an hour later, however, he} walked, unassisted, with firm step to! the gallows.

Representative Rainey of Illinois, the Democratic leader, urged mem-| bers to keep order and support the bill in the interest of the country. | He concluded, however, that it was} necessary to adjourn the house to bring to it the realization of what it was doing. That the house had “made a longer step toward communism than any other nation but Russia” in levying the high surtaxes Friday. “Fail to balance the budget and} you'll make all those expenditures for j reconstruction absolutely useless,” he said. “There is only one worse step you can take than the excessive income taxes and that is the step they took in Russia to eliminate wealth.” “If you want to do that let's bring in a bill to do it courageously and not | hide behind the tax bill.” | After Boughton concluded Crisp; made a motion to adjourn but a score | of members arose and demanded rec- ognition.

J., March 19.—(?)— Henry (Red) Johnson, sailor suitor of the kidnaped Lindbergh baby's nurse, was led about the Lindbergh estate by detectives Saturday to de- termine just how much he knew about the house and grounds. | He was not under arrest in con-| police} nection with the kidnaping, reiterated, but detectives wanted to learn how much he knew about the estate in their efforts to discover whether he might have been an un- witting aid to the kidnapers, While Johnson was being examin- ed at the Lindbergh home another man was arrested at South Plainfield after an attempted kidnaping or burglary at Highland Park, about 20 miles away. This man, who gave his name as George Malden, was arrested after a grounds-keeper at the estate of J. Seward Johnson, wealthy surgical dressings manufacturer, had shot at @ man climbing up to the Johnson nursery. Child’s Nurse Screams A nurse attracted the grounds keep- er’s attention when she screamed as a ladder was placed against the win- |dow sill of the room where she slept were exchanged and the interloper fled. Malden was arrested and iden- tified by both nurse and grounds keeper. He was finger printed and the ‘prints brought at once to Hopewell because of the similarity of the \methods of.the Lindbergh baby kid- naper and ‘the man at the Johnson home, both of whom raised ladders to nursery windows. Estimating that as much as $60,- much thought.” Commenting upon the series of railway conferences, climaxed by one at the white house late Friday with 15 outstanding railway chiefs, Hoover said “the coordination of programs and policies has been arrived at by less than was originally jthe government and the railway agencies to effect a meeting of the situation.” The president in his statement said % part: “The problem is to handle the situ- ation as a whole as to lay the founda- tions for restored employment on the railways and through their purchases of supplies, and at the same time to establish confidence in the security of the bonds which are the reliance of great trustee institutions of the U. 8. which are in fact the property of the entire people. “The end to be attained ts, there- fore, one of increased employment on one hand and stability in the finan- cial structure of the country on the ‘other. “The coordination of programs and policies has been arrived at by the government and the railway agencies to effect these results.” VOLSTEAD WOULDN'T RUN FOR PRESIDENT Minnesotan Declares He Would Not Make Race Even to Save Prohibition * Minneapolis, Minn., March 19.—() —Andrew Volstead says he is proud of the law which made him famous but seeking the presidency, to make certain it will live on, would be dis- tasteful to him. .

It is that the abductors fool- ed pursuit by substituting the child for another. The police think it possible they took the child to a family which al- ready had one of the same age. The custodians of the Lindbergh infant would then have to send their own child away. That is why two detectives from Newark were in Washington Friday night checking passport records on the ghance the child may have been sent to a foreign country.

BISMARCK VICTORY HELD MOST POPULAR IN STATE'S HISTORY Editors Acclaim Action of Peo- ple in Defeating Capi- tal Removal Never in the history of North Da- kota has a victory at the polls re- ceived such popular acclaim as that given Bismarck in its successful cam- Paign to retain the state capital. Without exception, newspapers which have commented on the mat- \ter have hailed it as proof of the fact that the people of North Dakota are in ne mood to be hoodwinked by mis- leading propaganda and as proof that North Dakota citizens regarded the Proposal as unwise and unfair. Many express the belief that Bis- marck’s campaign for a “NO” vote on capital removal contributed to the de- feat of the four other proposals on the amendment ballot. The Fargo Forum, after asserting that the No vote was “probably greater than even the most ardent supporter of Bis- marck had reason to hope for,” ex- plained that many voters were not taking any chances of making a mis- take and voted “No” all the way down the list. The Mandan Pioneer interpreted the vote as one against community sabotage and as proof of that the peo- jple are essentially in favor of fair |Play. After pointing to the vote of 1893 to 63 in Mandan, it hastens to add that most of the 63 probably were due to errors.

It says “Bismarck deserved this endorsement and we join with the good folks there in their rejoic- Most pertinent of the comments, perhaps, is that by the Stutsman County Record, published at James- town. Under the heading, “A Vic- tory?”, this newspaper outlines the situation in the Stutsman county seat and closes with this illuminating statement: “The leaders of the removal cam- paign have accomplished their true aims which are becoming more and more apparent. They have elected their candidate for mayor and several of the candidates they backed for aldermen, although Mayor I. W. Silt- man, seeking reelection, gave the first ten dollars for the campaign. The popularity of the leading pro- ponents, many of whom are candi- dates in the June primaries, has been greatly increased. The removalists have gained a large victory as far as the accomplishment of their pur- poses is concerned.” (Editor's Note: This editorial will be reprinted in full in The Tribune’s “with other editors” column.)
