J., April 18—(?)— ‘Parents of the Lindbergh baby still are waiting for some word that will lead to his restoration. A mysterious telephone call to the Toledo Times stirred interest. A man who said his name was Patterson told the paper the baby is in Detroit and will be returned within a week. oe said the kidnapers had fallen out and warned against paying more ran- som. Dr. John F. Condon—the “Jafsie” who paid $50,000 ransom to a man in a Bronx cemetery and was tricked— said Sunday: “We are in contact with the kid- napers. The baby will be returned soon, I hope.” However, it was said by another source that no actual communication had been carried on since the ran- som payment, but Col. Lindbergh still pins his chief hope on Dr. Condon. State police denied knowledge of a bag containing men’s clothing found in Chilmark, Mass, All identifying marks had been removed from the clothes. Massachussets police be- lieved the bag dropped from an air- plane. Residents of Falmouth, Mass.. said they saw an airplane, three vessels and flares off Gayhead, promontory of the island of Martha’s Vineyard, Mass. This led to rumors, uncon- firmed, that Col. Lindbergh again was trying to contact the kidnapers. Nobody could be found at. Gayhead who saw the plane, boats or flares. The person who took Col. Lind- bergh’s $50,000 directed him to that vicinity where his baby was said to be aboard a yacht. He flew there soon after paying the ransom, but failed to get the baby. INFORMATION PURPORTS TO COME FROM GROUP Toledo, O., April 18.—(?)—Informa- tion purporting to come from one of the kidnapers of the Lindbergh baby, that the child is now in Detroit and will be released safely within a week, was investigated by authorities Monday. ‘The new clue was given Sunday in & mysterious telephone call to the Toledo Times by a man whom police tried to trace, but unsuccessfully. The man who called said the kid- napers had come to a disagreement, and that he wanted Mr. and Mrs. Charles A. Lindbergh, the parents, to be notified not to pay any more Transom. Giving his name as “Patterson” and his home as New York, the mysterious caller informed the Times @ message would be sent within two days to a probate judge in Toledo telling how and where to find the child, safe and well. Reference to the disagreement agreed with previ- ous police information. With a parting word he did not dare say more, “Patterson” hung up. Telephone company officials be- leved the cail was made from a pay station at the Union depot and got a description there of a possible sus- pect, who, however, had vanished. Women’s Dry Group Meeting at Capital Washington, April 18.—()—The ‘Women’s National Committee for Enforcement Monday launched into the business of a three-day conven- tion, assembling a delegation of 1,000 to present resolutions opposing repeal on modification of national prohibi- tion to congress. Bishop James Cannon, Jr., who last week approved the basic prin- ciple of former Governor Byrd's plan for a vote of the people on constitu- tional changes, was called on to ex- pand his views on the amendment topic for the benefit of the prohibi- tion supporting women. Mrs. Henry W. Peabody, of Beverly, Mass., leader of the reported to the convention “We do not fear in the least the result of an honest public vote in a referendum,” but proceeded to assert that such a re- submission of prohibition was with- out precedent and unnecessary and that the group did fear the “methods and the money of the men and wom- en who are now shouting and schem- ing for the repeal or nullification of the federal law.” BABE RUTH IS ILL Boston, April 18.—(#)—Babe Ruth, the home run king, confined to a hotel bed by an attack of grippe, was somewhat improved Monday.

REGULATION OF HIGHWAY COMMERCE Also Suggests Water and Rail Carriers be Encouraged to Use Roads ‘Washington, April 18.—()—The In- terstate Commerce Commission Mon- day recommended federal regulation of motor vehicles engaged in Inter- state commerce and that railroads and water lines be encouraged to use the public highways, The commission's decision in the form of recommendations which are expected to be transmitted to con- gress, makes the following findings: “That transportation by motor ve- hicles, buses and trucks, over the Public highways is, - within certain distances, ard in certain respects a superior service and that the rail and water lines should be encouraged in the use of this instrumentality of commerce wherever such use will pro- mote: more efficient operation or im- Prove the public service. “That there is substantial competi- tion between rail and water carriers on the one hand and motor carriers on the other for the transportation of both passengers and freight and that this competition is increasing. “That such competition is conduct- ed under conditions of inequality, particularly in regard to regulation. “That a contributing cause, aside from the general business conditions, of the present unsatisfactory financial condition of the railroads, is the ex- istence of unrestrained competition by rival transportation agencies. “That there is today and probably would be under normal conditions an excess of carrying capacity of exist- ing transportation facilities. That unrestrained competition is an impossible solution of the present transportation problem and is incom- patible with the aims of coordination under regulation. “That federal legislation relating to the regulation of motor vehicles oper- ating upon the public highways and engaged in interstate commerce is de- sirable in the public interest.” Eat Spinach and | Assist Your Eyes | ——K—_____—_—_— so.

ROOSEVELT FAVORS WATERWAY 10 SEA New York Governor Has no Sympathy For Those Who Quibble Over Route St. Paul, April 18.—()—Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt of New York Monday urged early development of @ seaway from the Great Lakes to the Atlantic asserting he is “without ‘| Sympethy” for those who want to quibble over the particular route to be chosen. Within a “limited time,” the gover- nor told newspapermen, the demand for water transportation will be de- veloped to the point where both the “All-American” route to the Hudson and New York City, and the St. Law- rence outlet to the sea will be re- quired. “Cheap transportation to the inland is needed and it is as certain to come as the Panama canal,” the governor said upon his arrival for an address tonight, the first he has made in the middle west since he became a formal candidate for the Democratic nomi- nation for president. In his interview the governor drew the line on discussion of prohibition asserting it was “too early in the morning”; on the Jefferson Day speech of former Governor Alfred E Smith, which he said “I will note in my speech tonight,” and on politics in general, saying “there's too much of it around now.” After parading through downtown St. Paul streets, preceded by a com- pany of National Guardsmen in uni- form sent by Gov. Floyd B. Olson. Farmer-Laborite, the governor began @ series of conferences with members of his party from Iowa, Wisconsir. North and South Dakota, and Mon- tana. These will be part of a group of 2.500 persons for whom arrange- ments have been made to attend to- night's dinner meeting.

Rapped by Educator’ STONE FOR FACING ADMINISTRATION T0 COLLECT WAR DEBTS THIS YEAR IS CLAIM Johnson Statement That New Moratorium is in Sight Meets With Denial Washington, April 18.—()—Despite Senator Johnson's prediction another moratorium on war debts will be forthcoming when the present one expires in June, there is no expect- ation in administration quarters that President Hoover will initiate such a step. Since the Californian gave his views to the senate last week, new contributions to the debts question as put forth by Alfred E. Smith and Nicholas Murray Butler have been get- ting study, but it can hardly be said suggestions for adjustments of the Proposed levy on autos revived talk | $270,000,000—85: debts have had any real effect. It remains to be seen how far former Governor Smith will get with his plan for a 20-year-moratorium, during which this country would write off as paid each year “25 per cent of the gross value of American products which the’ debtor nations buy from us.” Nor has there been any chorus of assent in Republican councils for the convention recently expressed by President Butler of Columbia univer- sity that any political party or can- didate opposing a debt readjustment “merely declares in favor of prolong- ing the existent depression.” Senator Johnson said he believed those “in control of us” are getting ready to give “another moratorium on ,000. }20,000,000 in -all”—to be followed ultimately by revision and cancellation of the debts. Becguse \this runs contrary to the administra- tion position, as it became evident af- ter the decisive congressional vote last fall against revision, the turn of events will be followed closely hence- forth. Secretary Stimson left for Geneva with an administration announcement that he would discuss only disarma- ment at the Geneva conference, and would not go into the debts and re- parations. The great powers of Europe will meet at Lausanne, Switzerland, in June to decide primarily what shall be done about reparations. Germany has said she cannot continue pay- ments, the first due July 15. Much of the money which other powers have been paying on debts to the United States has been obtained from Germany. Consequently a dis- continuance of German payments will compel nations which do not default in payments to the United States to find other means of raising these sums, The one year moratorium which the United States granted postponed pay- ment of $252,000,000 for the current fiscal year, that is July of last year until June 30 of this year. For the next fiscal year, ending June 30, 1933, a total of $269,975,000 will be due the United States, and this has been in- cluded in the budget as money the United States expects to receive. Thousands Dead in Chinese Earthquake Hankow, China, April 18.—()—Be- lated reports reaching here today through Chinese sources from north- east Hupeh province said an earth- quake took a toll of “several tens of thousands of persons” there on April 6 in several towns and villages of the Province, The reports said the quake slightly jarred the Yangtze valley and they painted a picture of appalling cond:- tions. Their lateness was taken to illustrate the lack of communications in the interior. “Human corpses and dead animals are strewn over the ground through- out the stricken area,” the dispatches said. The important walled town of Macheng was reported to have suf- fered severely from the quake, the walls of 70 per cent of the houses hav- ing crumbled on their inhebitants. The dispatches concluded the quakes had been “a terrible visitation on the people who already had suffer- ed from the plunderings of Commun- ists and bandits.” Secretary of Association Sees Them as Handicap to Schools REVIEWS STATE SITUATION Says Many Districts Would Call| ACTION IS TAKEN SUNDAY Special Elections to Raise Tax Limit Fargo, April 18—()—Adoption of the 50 per cent property valuation tax measure to be voted on at the June primaries would necessitate re- duction of budgets of nearly half the |meeting Sunday, formally went on 2,228 school districts in North Dakota|record in favor of considering brick and would automatically require a cut of 33 per cent in budgets of one- fourth of the districts.

Statutes provide a limitation of 14 mills for the school district levy ex- cept that districts maintaining con- solidated schools or two years of standard high school may levy 16 mills and those with your years of standard high school, 18 mills. These Imitations do not apply to levies for Payment of bonded indebtedness, either interest or principal. McCurdy’s analysis shows 640 dis- tricts now levying this maximum, and 303 within three mills of the maximum. Reductions of the taxable basis from 75 to 50 per cent of the assessed valuation would mean that budgets would have to be cut to the equivalent of 9.4 mills on the present esis for the ordinary rural districts, and ina similar ratio for those dis- tricts with higher limitations. In 1914 districts were permitted to levy up to 30 mills, with an additional levy of two mills. The maximum permissible levy in that year was $9,- 857,652, while for the current year, cut of one-third in taxable valuations would permit a levy of $9,684,654 — less than the pre-war rate, McCurdy calculates.

Education ARCHITECTS FAVOR ON STATE CAPITOL Commissioners, However, Aiso Will Ask For Bids on Brick Structure Chicago Men Vigorous in Sup- port of Stone and Out- line Reasons The state capitol commission, at a and stone for the exterior facing of the proposed North Dakota state- house. Specifications for the structure willi date set for completion of plans of the building design. The action was taken by the com- architects, recommending the use of stone for the exterior facing and vigorously opposing brick for this purpose, G. A. Fraser, member of the com- mission, said the commissioners be- eve both stone and brick bids should be received, and that the question of facing be determined after the com- mission has had an opportunity to study these bids. Will Study Problem Regardless of the type of facing used, the commission is giving serious consideration to the use of brick and tile in the walls of the building, Fraser said. He estimated that ap-| proximately 250 carloads of brick and} tile could be used for this purpose. If the plans are completed by June 1, as contemplated, Fraser said, the bids would be advertised for six weeks ae contracts let about the middle of} July, Holabird and Root submitted the report regarding facing on the re- quest of the capitol commission for an outline of the architects reasons for recommending stone facing. “We have no hesitancy in select- ing stone,” the report states, “be- cause it is the natural and economic Product to use. The other possibilities were granite, marble, terra cotta or brick. “Our reasons for the use of stone are based upon our experience gained | in the design and erection of many large buildings in various parts of the; portunity to study the relative merits Granite, Marble Too Costly “Our use of stone on outstanding ceived from the American Institute of Architects and other bodies for; general excellence in the development jof modern architecture. “Granite and marble would make excellent facing materials but were jeliminated because of their excessive cost. “Terra cotta was never considered because of our practical knowledge of its structural limitations. Our exam- ination and repairs to many terra cotta buildings which were in vogue and erected throughout the country within the last 30 years, has caused} us to discontinue the use of this jmaterial in large buildings. | “Facing materials of a building are jdirectly dependent upon its design. For example, in a low colonial type of architecture, stone or brick might be inter-changeable, with a few modifications of design. This type of building is very generally associated with groups of buildings of the same design and height. “But when the design calls for a monumental distinctive building of “The use of stone in monumental buildings dates back to the pyramids and is brought down through the ages and exemplified in the most fa- mous buildings throughout the world. Even Caesar found Rome a city of bricks and left it in marble.” Is Veneer Only The architects, in their report, alled attention that if the commis- sion, in its consideration and approval of an exterior facing, “has the one thought in mind of the use of a North Dakota product, it should realize that with a building faced with stone, which is only an exterior veneer, 90 per cent of all the masonry materials in the general contracts would be North Dakota products. “If a brick facing were used, against our emphatic recommenda- tion, then wherever ornamentation (Continued on page seven) a rmer Resident of Hettinger Is Killed Shakopee, Minn., April 18—(P)—A young Minneapolis dentist and his sweetheart, who were to be married in June, were killed near here early Monday while riding in the rumble| Smelter. seat of a car that side-swiped a truck. ‘They were returning home from a ° A Plans New Voyage | Reebeerniepabet Mind bs bode New York, April 18—()—Two ad- venturers of the frigid ends of the earth, Lincoln Elisworth and Bernt Balchen, will attempt in 1933-34 a new “voyage of discovery” in the south polar regions. Their plans, as announced by the American Geographical society of New York, call for a 2,900-mile flight, non-stop, over the great Ant- arctic continent—from Framheim, on the Bay of Whales, (where Byrd had his “little America” headquarters) to the Weddell sea, and return. The fliers do not intend to fly over the south pole, but will fly on a straight line between the two points. The purpose is to determine the geographical features of the great snow continent—five million square miles of land only one-quarter of which ever has been seen by the eye of man. PROSECUTION RAPS MASSIE ADMISSION HE SHOT HAWAIIAN Expresses Belief Enlisted Man, Not Officer, Slew Mur- der Victim Honolulu, April 18.—(#)— Lieut. Thomas H. Massie’s courtroom state- ment that he killed Joseph Kahaha- wal, was attacked by the’prosecution Monday with an assertion the lieu- tenant was “shielding” one of the three persons on trial with him for second-degree murder. An insanity defense, being laid through Massie’s testimony under the guidance of Clarence Darrow, also drew fire. The plea was branded by Prosecutor John C. Kelley as “the bunk.” “Why, Massie did not even kill Kahahawai,” Kelley declared in an- nouncing the course he would pursue mbes he resumed the cross examina- ion, The ruddy-faced prosecutor did not Say directly which of the four de- fendants he believed shot the young native after questioning him about an assault on the lieutenant’s wife. Kelley indicated, however, he thought Albert O. Jones was responsible. “If Massie killed Kahahawai,” he asked, “why did he use Jones’ gun instead of his own. He admits that he brought his own gun to the Fortes- cue house (where Kahahawai was killed) that morning. “You get used to a gun like a wrist watch or other personal equipment. So far as Massie knew, Jones’ gun was not loaded. Yet he says he used Jones’ gun, although he had his own with him.” Massie, in his testimony Saturday, admitted indirectly he killed the Hawaiian. He said he had Jones’ pistol in his hand when his mind went blank after Kahahawai, saying, “Yes, we done it,” admitted that he and four others attacked Mrs. Massie. Kelley said Massie “has not put forth any insanity case yet, not from. The Weather SUBSTANTIAL FALL IS EXPECTED T0 BE GENERAL IN STATE Precipitation in Bismarck is .67 of an Inch at 11 A.
