¥2 ) 5 THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, MONDAY, JUNE 20, 1932 GOTHAM GANGSTER _ ERASEDBY GUNS OF LIQUOR MOB RIVALS ‘Rats’ Open Fire on Him as He Walks on Street With «Wife and Child New York, June 20.—()—Vannie Higgins, who got careless, is dead, and the police are hunting “rats.” “The rats!” said Vannie Higgins, who was one-two-three among the big names of gangland until guns erased him Sunday, “they even tried to wipe out my family.” He had been shot four times. Just before he died Sunday several hours after he was fired upon by mobsters, he said: “I ain't saying who did it. I'll take care of them.” But he died, and the police are try- ing to “take care of them.” They sought three men for ‘ques- tioning. One of them is Salvy Spitale, whom Col. Charles A. Lindbergh nam- ed as an intermediary in the baby case. The others who police hope may know something about the Higgins murder are “Tough Willie” McCabe and William Bailey, one of Higgin’s “boys.” Higgins, who posed as a fisherman but who was reputed to be a power in the liquor racket, was shot Sunday by eight men who opened fire on him, his wife and their eight-year-old daughter on a Brooklyn street. One bullet narrowly missed the child as her father, bleeding from fatal Wounds, ran from the attackers’ fire only to collapse a moment later. Higgins was knifed in a brawl sev- eral months ago. Since then he has seldom ventured out without a body- guard. Saturday night, in response to his daughter's pleading, he went with her and Mrs. Higgins to an affair at the Knights of Columbus club in Brooklyn, ieaving his bodyguard free. Two men loitered near his parked car. As he strolled toward it, the child at his side, he was hailed. He turn- ed, and the guns of the men opened upon him. An automobile drew up, and several men in it opened fire. Higgins fell. Higgins was in his early thirties. Police held two theories. One was that Higgins had attempted to grab some of the beer business on the Jer- sey side of the river and had been killed for it. The other linked the murder with earlier crimes in which were the murders of Augie Pisano and others rooting back to the Frankie Yale Coterie of several years ago. CONTINUED) from page one Contractors Study Volumes on Capitol will be purchased by the commission and architects as follows: Finished haraware, $30,000; lighting fixtures, $75,000; special decorations, $5,000; models, $37,350; carving, $12,000; carv- ing, $800; and temporary heat, $9,000. The schedule of finish materials, in which it is stipulated what mate- rials must be used, reveals that the 19-story structure will have 753 rooms. Though the building is described as an 18-story structure, it will have an extra floor for the elevator machine room, a staircase leading to it, and a pipe and duct space. Included in the list of rooms are stairways, lobbies, halls, vaults, etc. The finishing ma- terial for each is listed in brief in 59 pages. The remainder of the general work specifications is concerned with de- tails of how the work in the remain- ing 21 divisions from masonry to metal partitions shall be carried out and what materials should be used. In each of the seven divisions of the mechanical work volume is listed specifications, instructions, and gen- eral conditions in detail. Special Type of Contract The commission intends that each of these seven contracts will be the “guaranteed maximum cost” type, in which the contractor guarantees that the cost will not exceed his bid, sub- ject to additions or omissions author- ized. In this type of contract the contractor is paid a fixed fee and agrees that any savings shall revert wholly to the state. Any costs in ex- cess will vary in accordance with modifications authorized in writing by the commission or architects. Copies of this type of contract may be se- cured from the architects upon re- quest. However, many interesting features of the building are revealed in the mechanical work volume. A modern development is the elec- trical roll-call systems for the house and senate chambers. The contrac- tor will be required to provide for the installation of the systems with con- duits and outlet systems in addition to main indicator boards, page call boards, miniature indicator boards, visual vote registers and the gover- nor’s indicator board. Other features of the electric wir- ing division include switchboards, mo- tor connections and installation, re- volving door outlets, kitchen appli- ances, emergency lighting, telephone booths, plaza lighting, clocks, vault buzzers, fire alarm system, radio -re- producing system, loud speaking tele- phones and horns, radio, receiver, loud speaking telephone wiring, flood light- ing, telegraph conduits and watch- men’s system.

D., June 20.—()—Dr. J. A. Aasgaard of Minneapolis, presi- dent of the Norwegian Lutheran Church of America, will deliver the festival sermon at the 50th anniver- sary of Sheyenne Lutheran church Sunday, June 26, SLOPE MAN INJURED IN AUTO ACCIDENT L. F. Horn, Marmarth, Says Hit-and-Run Truck Driver Crashed Into Him Twice L. F. Horn, Marmarth grain deal- er, suffered severe lacerations in an automobile accident which he said was caused by a hit-and-run truck driver near New Salem Sunday eve- ning. Horn was knocked unconscious when his automobile was tipped over and suffered gashes on his head, hand, hip, thigh and knee. Several stitches were taken to close a four- inch scalp wound. According to Horn’s story, he was driving castward six or seven miles east of New Salem when a truck drove up behind him, striking his rear bumper on the right side. The impact swerved Horn’s auto so that it crossed the road and ran into the ditch on the north side. Horn re- gained control of the machine and drove back upon the highway only to, ta has not had good representation in Washington since the days of Porter J. McCumber, Nye commented: “Those who offer that argument are the same band who cut the throat of McCum- ber and sought his defeat just as they seek mine. They are as fine a brand of inconsistent, irresponsible and bankrupt politicians as ever cut loose in any state.” Mentions Drought Aid Nye charged that the aid to drought sufferers in North Dakota has been made a “leading campaign issue.” “I find my political opponents mak- of many of our people,” he said. “I resent this cheap effort.” Nye asserted that “the accomplish- ment of assurance of aid from Wash- ington’ was inaugurated before any member of the state administration, including Governor Shafer, had even bothered to see what the conditions in the northwest were.” “It was nice, of course, of the gov- ernor to come to Washington and cor- roborate what Frazier, Sinclair and I were telling those in charge of relief work,” Nye continued, “and approv- ing what we were asking these offi- cials to do for our people.” A trip made to the Everglades in Florida by the public lands commit- tee, Nye said, was ordered by the sen- ate, and the expenses of the wives who accompanied the members were not paid by the government. “It might be added that upon re- port of its findings by the committee,” Nye, who is chairman of the commit- tee, continued, “the senate passed the Everglades park bill. It might also be suggested that there was no opposi- tion to the expense entailed by that visit of the same committee to our proposed Bad Lands Roosevelt park. By the way, North Dakota will be in- terested in knowing that the director of the national parks will personally visit our Roosevelt project this sum- mer and I have every reason to be- lieve he will give his final approval to the project, and passage of the bill giving us a national park will be as- ; sured.” Says Story Foundationless being peddled by those who would blind the people to real issues is the jone about my having voted to seat |Tom Heflin in the senate.” “The facts are,” he explained, “that there was no vote upon the question of whether Tom Heflin should have a seat in the senate. I am indeed |sorry that the opposition feels it nec- essary to appeal to religious preju- |dices even when they must resort to |downright falsehood to accomplish \their ends. It is good to know that ‘this falsehood has been so labeled by \leading people of the Catholic faith in the state.” It has been insinuated, Nye said, that he abused the privileges of the |funds of the senate campaign investi- jgation committee of which he was chairman. “Not one penny of the thousands made available by the senate commit- tee could be paid until it was approved by the disbursing officer, F.

Different colored lights on indicator boards on either side of the presiding officers will show how each member votes. Designated by Bulis-eyes ‘The member page call systems will have an electrical call light for each officer and member of each house. Members’ lights will be numbered in accordance with their desk numbers. Operations of page call buttons will indicate on the boards the desks from which the calls are coming, The visual vote registers in the gov- ernor’s room will be electrically-illu- minated signs showing the number of “ayes” and “nays.” Since the capitol will be of the “sky- scraper” type, the elevator specifica- tions are of extreme interest to all who will visit the building as well as the employes. Each passenger elevator will travel at a speed of 800 feet per minute with an applied load of 3,000 pounds. Elevators Nos. 1 and 2 will travel ‘ from the basement to the 17th floor, serving 19 openings in a distance of approximately 216 feet and six inches. Elevators Nos. 3 and 4 will travel from the ground to the 17th floor. Will Stop Automatically The elevators will be operated by a button automatic+stop system. In each corridor will be two risers of push buttons, each to consist of “up” and “down” buttons. Pushing of the buttons will automatically cause the elevators to stop when they reach those particular floors. Lantern illu- mination’ over all upper hatchway doors will inform the passenger when the elevator is approaching that floor. Each car will have an emergency switch which, when applied, will shut off the power and bring the car to a stop immediately. Each car, the ele- vator machine room, the engineer's ofice and the starter's panel will be provided with telephones. All sta- tions may be called from the starter’s panel. The freight elevator will travel 30 feet per minute with an applied load of 2,000 pounds, operating from the basement to the ground floor to serve three openings.

Nye charged that “without question | j the nastiest, most foundationless story | by a committee of five senators, most all of whom were not at all friendly to the work the committce was do- ing and would have welcomed a chance to reveal wrongful practices on the part of myself or other members of the investigating committee.” Discusses Committee Work Nye discussed in detail the work of the campaign investigating commit- tee, declaring that “the most vicious influences in American politics are the campaign contributions of selfish interests.” He asked for a “united front in op- position to the terrific drive being made by the forces of concentrated wealth and power to destroy equality of opportunity, make each American somebody else's worker, and make a Peon of every American farmer.” “I have tried hard during my years in the senate to give honest represen- tation to North Dakota,” Nye said. “If I have failed I cannot of course ex- pect your support in this campaign. I have been determined that govern- ment should be made responsive to the needs of the greatest possible ings of government should be show- ered alike upon all people, the high and the low, the rich and the poor. “Who shall rule, money or the peo- |ple? ‘That is the paramount issue to- day.
