BUSTER KEATON AND WIFE HAVE TROUBLE Spat Between Movie Figures Develops When Comedian Takes Sons Into Air Los Angeles, April 5.—(#)—Differ- ences between Buster Keaton, smile- Jess screen comedian, and his wife, the former Natalie Talmadge, appar- ently have been settled after coming to the attention of the district at- orney’s office and the San Diego po- lice department. The trouble arose, so both Keaton and his wife said, when the former decided to take his two sons, Joe, nine, and Robert, eight, for an air- plane ride Monday. Mrs. Keaton said She did not want her sons to: make the trip. Learning the father had taken the boys and Connie Consuelo, their gov- erness, to San Diego by “plane, Mrs. Keaton, in company with her sister, Mrs. Constance Talmadge Netcher, patina to the district attorney's of- ice. Buron Fitts, the prosecutor, tele- phoned San Diego police at their re- quest to stop the comedian. Keaton was. held in San Diego more than an hour. Then he was freed: He, his sons and the governess ay. to return to Los Angeles Tues- lay. 2 “Any reports that Buster and I have separated is nonsense,” said Mrs. Keaton. “One doesn’t separate over such arguments.” “It was just a little family dif- ficulty,”, the comedian stated. “There’s nothing to the whole thing —it's so trivial.” The comedian’s mother, however, said she had known there had been some domestic difficulty in her son's home. “Natalie has not been home since Friday,” the mother said.

The Capital question has finally been settled. With interest I note how Bismarck will give the citizens of the state a festival in appreciation of the service they have shown in voting the capital for Bismarck. The ballot result is appreciated by most citizens of Bismarck, but there is one other subject that we forgot to have the city vote on, and that is par- allel parking. How long are we going to stand by and see these friends of ours driven about the city with parallel parking, two-hour parking and now no double- parking? Why not put,it to the vote of the people at the next opportunity? We are driving our friends out of Bis- marck. I see it every day and hear it continually. I am not making this statement from hearsay and gossip, but see it with my own eyes and hear it with my own ears. Why have the city officials sudden- ly become scientific? This parallel parking is supposed to be an experi- ment. Why experiment at the cost of the businessman and the city’s out- side friends, when we now have de- pression to combat and should exert all our efforts in the experimental line to lick this difficulty. When times again become normal we can again become scientific and experiment with parallel parking, and can then drive our friends out of Bismarck, tear down the business we have built up, insult the people we have invited to visit Bismarck by giving them a ticket to the police station. All those things could be done when conditions are good. Maybe our friends then will have a sense of hu- mor, but today most people’s sense of humor is badly strained. There is a solution to this parking problem and that is to abolish parallel parking and return to the old system, modified slightly, allowing individual parking ‘at a smaller angle, with a two-hour limit for our city citizens only and an unlimited parking time for our friends throughout the territory. Any citizen who is so selfish as to refuse to cooperate on the two-hour limit can be checked as before and be given an invitation to call at the Police station and pay his fine for his disloyalty. Let's warm up our hands and make Bismarck so friendly that people will want to come to Bismarck whenever the opportunity avails itself, and let’s make them satisfied when they do get here. We owe it to them. They sup- ported us. Let’s support them. A BISMARCK MERCHANT. HE'S ‘AGIN’ DRY LAW Bismarck, N. D., March 28, 1932. Editor, Tribune: Many people have their opinions of the eighteenth amendment and its help and injuries to this country to-/ the day. We know according to history that the eighteenth amendment was submitted to the states of this union by congress December 18, 1917. We also know that Mississippi was the first state in the union to ratify the amendment, and that Nebraska was the thirty-sixth state to ratify it. The date Mississippi ratified was January 8, 1918, and the date Nebraska rati- fied it was January 16, 1919. By help and injuries I mean that it helps the government spend more money in en- forcing it (eighteenth amendment) and injures the government in the cir- culation of money which by rights should be used by the farmers and poor people who have no way of se- curing enough to live on day by day. The following states named are the ones which did not accept the elgh- teenth amendment! New York, Mary- land, Montana, Nevada and Wiscon- sin, and today they still hold out against the law. = I mean, when I say that these states still hold out against the eighteenth amendment, just this, that they en- force no such law within their bor- ders. The cost of this law for the last three years has been totaled and has been enough to help a hundred thou- sand people: through -the depression. ‘The amount was $13,971,540. Imagine thas amount well circulated through: | Wedding Ahead Ii It'll be a wedding of the highest social importance when Marjorie Kane (above), New York debutante, and Elbert T. Gerry 2nd (below), polo star and clubman, are married in May. Their engagement has just been announced, out this country. Then some have the idea that prohibition will help the farmers and the poor people. I will admit that it does give the farmers a little help at the present but do they realize that the money which is used for this home-brew, alcohol, whiskey and wine is sent to Europe and not returned again. Everyone should eon- sider that and then decide whether they want prohibition or not. Sincerely, PATRICK B. TIERNEY. LET THE PEOPLE RULE Baldwin, N. D., March 21, 1932. Editor, Tribune: The election of March 15 was cer- tainly a people’s victory, and it looks as if they are going to keep the reins in their hands, regardless of what Politicians dictate to them. No Dem- ocrats in North Dakota? This writer is a Democrat in Crofte township, Burleigh county, and here is what the electors of this township thought of the N. D. old laws, they made a clean cut of the officers’ salaries, to help reduce taxes; the supervisors from $3.00 to $2.00; clerk from $35.00 to $25.00; treasurer from $19.25 to $10.00; assessor from $35.00 to $25.00; road work, for man and team, from $4.00 to $3.50, and passed a resolution that every land owner in Crofte township cut or cause to be cut free of charges to the township twice a year, as pro- vided by law, the weeds on the high- ways along his land. For failure to do so a penalty of one dollar per mile for each time was imposed. This writer understands from ob- servation that Burleigh county has appropriated $3,200 for county agent work and he believes that the county agent’s office should be abolished, and to do so the question of abolishing the county agent must be voted upon by the voters of Burleigh county. To bring it to a vote, it would require a Petition of 20 per cent of the voters of Burleigh county, as determined by the votes cast for the office of governor at the last preceding election. Such Petition must be filed with the county auditor 30 days before the election, and if a majority of the votes cast are against continuing a tax levy for county agent work, then it will be dis- continued on the 3lst day of Decem- ber following such election. Yours truly, JULIUS MEYER. , Bismarck, N. D., March 31, 1932. Editor, Tribune: Two Bismarck boys, Marien Loehrke and Tom Boutrous, members of the University Band, bowed their heads in shame last evening at the recep- tion tendered the “U” band under the leadership of John E. Howard at the Bismarck auditorium. A number of unruly children, un- accompanied by parents or guardians, made their appearance, as usual, and occupied the very prominent box seats where they staged counter attrac- tions such as wrestling and boxing matches. Finally, after Mr. Howard had struggled through his excellent pro- gram, he took pains to call especial attention to the last number, Alma Mater, a production especially ar- ranged to inspire the hearers with a love and devotion for our honored in- stitution of learning. What happened I hate to put in print, but if you doubt. it, ask anyone who was there. Mr. Howard had barely started his favorite selection when fairly half of Bismarck (musical?) audience started to “stomp” out as if in agony to get away. The music ceased. How- ard stepped off his pedestal and with bowed head got himself behind the scenes. Members of the band eyed each other in amazement and then quietly began to pack away their in- struments, The curtain fell. A MUSIC LOVER PRESENT. Editor’s Note: The Tribune has checked up on this attack upon the courtesy of our people. Every- one interviewed agreed that the children made nuisances of them- selves and that such activity should be curbed in the future. Few felt the audience generally had been discourteous to the band or its conductor.

Milwaukee, Wis., April 5—(?)—Wis- consin voters Tuesday had’the alter- native of indicating preference for two outstanding presidential candi- dates or electing delegates whose final vote at the Republican and Democratic national conventions is problematic. Rival factions in both parties con- ducted intensive campaigns which, with promises of good weather, were expected to bring out one of the largest votes in recent years. Democrats had the opportunity of decisively favoring the candidacy of Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt. of New York by voting for a slate of delegate candidates pledged to sup- port him. Republicans were offered a con- servative delegation who, although uninstructed, indorsed the adminis- tration of President Hoover ai their State conference. The La Follette progressive ticket and a so-called Callahan Democratic slate, the latter sponsored by John M. Callahan, Wisconsin Democratic national committeeman, furnish @n outlet for voters who favor neither Hoover nor Roosevelt. Delegates on the La Follette pro- gressive ticket propose to vote for Senator George W. Norris of Ne- braska for president. The Callahan group has not committed itself to a candidate but is generally regarded as favoring Alfred E. Smith. Results of Tuesday's balloting will, in effect, represent a test of the strength of the state administration of youthful Governor Philip F. La Follette. To Debate Abroad frie & board.

HELPS YOUTHS KILL BIG SHARK Canine Grabs Man-Eater by Throat; Is Nonchalant Af- ter Great Battle Roxbury, Mass.. April 5.—Tex never was what you'd call a sea dog. Though he roamed about the docks near here since puppyhood, and had become the terror of other waterfront mutts by virtue of his chow and Ger- man shepherd lineage, he dreaded going into the water. But even greater than this was his hatred of anything, man or beast, that failed to take kindly to Johnny Burns and Louis Quesher, two neigh- borhood youths who had adopted Tex as their companion in ramblings along the shore. And that’s why Tex became a hero and the only shark- catching dog in New England. Stray Shark Sought It happened during a rat-hunting expedition along the edge of South Bay. There was no thought of bigger game until Burns and Quersher no- ticed a great crowd on a bridge across the channel. For three hours, they to harpoon a large shark that had brazenly invaded the channel. hunt was reluctantly abandoned, al- though a watch was set on the bridge in case the terror of the deep again water.

As it reached shallow wa- ter the boys hurled heavy rocks. The shark floated quietly for a moment, as though stunned. “We got him,” “Come on.” shouted Burns. He plunged into the water. Quersher followed, armed Battle Royal Tex danced along the shore, whin- ing. This was something new. He Ross Cox Russell of Pensacola, detested that oily water, but there were his pals plunging into it. May- be they were in danger from that monster with the huge jaws. They were! While Louis -rained blows on the shark’s head with his jclub, John boldly grabbed its tail. The water was less than waist deep. The blows seemed only to revive the fighting fish. With a heave of Powerful tail that sent Burns into ithe water as though he had been thrown by a catapult, it turned on Quersher, who parried the lunge with his board. That was enough for Tex. With the same growl and running leap that had routed waterfront rowdies and their dogs, he went into the fray. He ripped and slashed at everything he saw—fin, tail and jaws. The mad- dened shark turned his attention to in their excitement to their own dan- ger, kicked and pounded their en- jemy.
