Discussion of the proposals by citi- zens was had but no action was taken on them. Approximately 7 persons attend- ed the meeting of tie city commis- sion Wednesday night. Among the suggestions made by an aroused electorate were: 1. By Peter Aller, that someone other than a man already employed be appointed dog-catcher. 2. By John L. Larson, that the commission use the axe sparingly in reducing the wages of common labor. 3. By Meyer Cohen, that the two jobs now held by the city auditor, that of auditor and supervisor of t'e waterworks, be divided betwcen two men. 4. By Frank Ackerman, that some provision be made to enforce collection of: taxes from the big tax- payers who are able to pay but have not. 5. By William Barneck, that pro- vision be made for eliminating the assessments for water main exten- sions at this time, some other means of financing this being found so that the entire burden will not fall on the present taxpayers. Suggests Foreman Plan 6. By Henry Richholt, that the position of street superintendent be eliminated and the work of the men on the city’s street forces be super- vised by the street commissioner, as- sisted by a foreman who would get $1 a day more than the other work- ers on the same basis as section forc- men. 7. By H. F. Keller, that the posi- tion of recreational director be elimi- nated. Numerous questions were hurled at Mayor A. P. Lenhart and a brisk exchange occurred betw en him and Richholt, who was auditor of the city back in the late niacties. There was relatively little order at the meeting, several persons talking at once on some occasions, but ‘t was an interesting session. It dem- onstrated definitely that a large number of Bismarck taxpayers have become tax conscious. Aller Opens Protest Aller's was the first voice raised when the budget was thrown open for discussion after reading by City Au- ditor M. H. Atkinson. He said the man now employed as dog catcher is! employed during the daytime and pursues canines at night. Asked by Lenhart if he wanted to be dog catcher, Aller said he was out of a Job and would do anything. The ap- Propriation for the job is $227. Richholt challenged the arrange- ment whereby the city paid delin- quent special assessment taxes by taking money from the Front street paving fund, paid in cash by the Northern Pacific railroad. He said the bonds should never have been is- sued in the first place and that the city commission should have known the railroad would pay in cash. City Auditor Atkinson said after the meet- ing that the city had tried to ascer- tain if the railroad would do so and had failed to obtain the information in time to prevent the bond issue covering its share of the cost. Richholt ‘drew applause when he asserted that a city the size of Bis- marck has no right to pay $3,600 a year to any man and asserted that no city employe should “live in luxury” while others starve. He drew further cheers when, after a statement by Lenhart that the board had worked long and faithfully on the budget and other matters, he asserted that the city commissioners never got in the past the salaries they are drawing now. Under the budget; the salaries of commissioners were Teduced from $75 to $60 a month. A comment by Lenhart that he Pays taxes and sympathizes with the taxpayers’ position, drew the retort that the commissioners could pay their taxes with the amount they draw as salary for coming to the city hall once a week. There followed a discussion of how much work the commissioners do for their money, Richholt contending they get too much and Lenhart, as- eerting that he has as many as a dozen callers a day who come to his store to discuss city affairs. This brought the question of what the rest of the city’s employes are paid for. Walter Berwman, commenting on the reduction in the pay of street la- borers from 40 cents to 35 cents an the shortening of the hours day, expressed the ‘was “jump- because he's three) E e 3 [ New Potentate ‘ —_— + | Ke {| EARL C.

U.S, DELEGATION 10 PRESENT ITS VIEWS AT OTTAWA PARLEY Plan to Indicate Disadvantages Which Might Result Un- der Proposals Ottawa, Ont., July 28.—(?)—Amer- ican interests, eyeing the British im- {Perial economic conference ciosely in vantages in Canada, Thursday began the drafting of an unofficial state- ment of views, The Americans, outsiders at the con- jference but keenly interested, planned to indicate the disadvantages that might result to Canadian-American trade if certain proposals before the conference were agreed to. At the same time Great Britain sought diplomatically to force Can- ada’s hand, and to learn what favors British industry may expect in return ie preference tariffs favoring Can- a From the outset Great Britain has made it clear that she cannot act up- on dominion requests for export ad- vantages until she knows what to ex- pect in return. Conference procedure provides that, the daughter nations agree among themselves on trade bargains before Great Britain separately with each what favors she must claim. The various delegations, rep- resenting the numerous units of the British Empire. are inclined to delay actual bargaining until Canada, titu- lar leader of the conference, indicates what she intends to offer in return for what she hopes to receive. Canada, on the other hand, has appeared to be waiting to see what Great Britain intends to do. The interest of the United States, Argentina, and other non-empire na- tions centers around Canada's stand. These outside nations especially are concerned as to what Canada will of- fer Great Britain in connection with proposed by Premier Bennett of Can- ada as a bargaining basis. The first plenary session of the committee on customs administration attracted special notice Thursday from the United States. This was be- cause under the Canadian tariff act of 1930 the powers given to the min- ister of national revenue include vir- tually arbitrary control over imports. Under the act, if a Canadian man- ufacturer complains that a United States producer is underselling him, the minister of national revenue may instruct the American firm to raise his selling price above the Canadian manufacturer's or keep his product ‘out of Canada. Trade experts blame this law for the fact that cigarettes selling in the United States for 14 cents retail here for 55 cents, compared with 25 cents for a comparable Canadian brand.

To Take Several Days In Recovering Bodies Kiel, Germany, July 28,—(7)— Naval authorities said ae ered it would take several days at least to recover the bodies of 69 men who went down Tuesday with the Ger- man naval training ship Niobe.

LLNONS RECEIVE FUND FROM FC Made Available Immediately as It Apparently Will Be Needed by Monday ISSUED AT THREE PER CENT Board Authorizes Huge Loan Without Awaiting Comple- tion of Directorate Washington, July 28,—()—Exactly @ week after the new federal relief bill became law, Illinois Thursday has a $3,000,000 addition to her bank account with which to feed and care for the needy. A federal loan of that amount—at three per cent interest—was an- nounced by the reconstruction fi- nance corporation Wednesday and made available immediately because it “appears that relief funds will be exhausted in certain localities” of that state by Monday. Finding quick advancement of the money necessary, the corporation chose not to wait until its director- ate was completed. Atlee Pomerene, most recently selected director, had not reached the capital. One more member of the board must yet be named by President Hoover. The federal agency, agreeing to lend the money out of the $300,000,- 000 fund in the new $2,122,000,000 re- Nef act signed last Thursday, said it would expect all states to meet their own needs as far as possible “and call upon the corporation only as a last resort.” Otherwise, it add- ed, the $300,000,000 would not be enough. Other applications for state loans are pending, but it was believed the corporation would withhold action on most of them until the new direc- tors take office. 1 MINNESOTA FARMER KILLED IN TORNADO Dozen Others Injured as Build- ings Are Ripped Down in Dassel Vicinity Dassel, Minn., July 28.—(?)—Au- gust Nikka, 75-year-old farmer, was killed and a dozen persons injured late Wednesday in a tornado which wrecked numerous farm buildings in an area two miles wide and about 10 miles long, north and east of here. Nikka was crushed to death in his barn when the structure collapsed. Mrs. Nikka was seriously injured and taken to a hospital at Cokato. The Nikka home was found miles north- east of here. Esther Maikkula, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Don Maikkula, farmers eight miles from here, suffered a fractured skull, while Mr, and Mrs. John Amundson and their two children re- ceived minor hurts. Several other persons also were injured. The storm first was reported near Kingston at the home of Magnus Johnson, former United States sena- tor from Minnesota. A windmill on the Johnson farm was blown down. Houses and other farm structures were destroyed or damaged before the twister disappeared near here. Some livestock was killed and several grain fields ruined, Damage was expected to reach sev- eral hundred thousand dollars. SASKATCHEWAN HAS HAIL Regina, July 28.—(7)—A heavy hail storm Wednesday night caused ex- tensive damage to grain crops in the Heward district of Saskatchewan, ac- cording to reports received here Thursday. Heward is about 75 miles southeast of Regina. An area of from 20,000 to 30,000 acres of grain was de- scribed as affected. Dead By CROSBY MAN NAMED | IN CARR'S PLAGE ON N.D. SURVEY BOARD Shafer Selects G. P. Homnes to Succeed Late Lieutenant Governor George P. Homnes, Crosby attor- was appointed by Governor ney, George F. Shafer Thursday to suc- ceed the late John W. Carr of James- town as member of the governmental survey commission. Members of the commission were meeting here Thursday, but in the absence of Homnes deferred action on the selection of a chairman, in which capacity Carr had been serving at the time of his death. The com- mission, which 1s to report its recom- mendations on its survey of the gov- ernmental structure to the next le islature, is composed of W. J. Bic! ert, Washburn; V. A. Corbett, Minot; J. D. Root, Guelph; C. D. Cooley, Mandan, and Homnes, with J. B. Cooley, Grand Forks, secretary. Several recommendations have been tentatively agreed on by the commission, Secretary Cooley said. These include: Recodification of township laws. Legisiation to enable two or more townships and two or more counties to consolidate. To have a “bargain day” on delin- quent taxes, permitting all tax certi- ficates up to and including 1931 held by counties to be redeemed by the actual owners on the basis of the face of the taxes plus six per cent interest. The penalty would be eliminated. Figures compiled by the commis- sion, Secretary Cooley said, show that the per capita tax in townships and counties varies inversely with the Population of these governmental units. A law to permit consolida- tions, he said, would not be compul- sory, but would be designed to set up machinery to authorize such con- solidations if townships and counties find it feasible to combine. The survey commission plans to jappoint three county auditors who will act as an advisory committee on county problems, and meet with the commission. They will serve without compensation, receiving only actual expenses, Stock Mart Prices Continue Advance New York, July 28.—()—Bullish ) activity was resumed in major finan- cial markets Thursday coincident j with pronounced strength of the dol- }lar in terms of European currencies.

A bullet through the heart killed one man when police opened fire up- on veterans who were advancing to- ward them. A group of his comrades took the man to a hospital in a patrol wagon. accompanied by two policemen. He was dead when he reached there. There was no mark of identification about the body, and attaches at the hospital said that his comrades were 30 excited they could not get his name from them. One In Serious Condition Also, Everett Carlson, 40, a bonus- marcher from Ohio, is in a serious condition at Casualty hospital with a bullet wound in the back and lower abdomen. Doctors said his recovery was doubtful. Several other bonus-marchers were treated for lesser injuries inflicted by brickbats. They included an Indian, | Chief Mountain Heart, 42, who was cut about the chest, and John Wyn- dom, 39, of Cleveland, O., who was cut about the lip and cheek. Secretary Hurley ordered cavalry from Fort Myer to rush into the city at fast pace, saying he had been in- formed by the president that “the civil government of the District of Columbia has reported to him it is unable to maintain law and order.” After hearing a report from Officer George Shinault, who. said he fired the first shot, Phelham D. Glassford police chief, said the shooting which killed the veteran was “justified.” Several Police Injured Several police were injured, one, Private Scott, being reported to have | died from a blow by a flying brick that hit him in the head in a clash in the morning. This report, which could not be verified immediately, aroused the police to anger in the minutes before the rioting that led to The second squadron of the third cavalry from Fort Myer was drawn up on the mall at the rear of the white house waiting for orders. Glassford, who was a personal wit- ness of the shooting, continued ap immediate investigation of it with a view to turning his information over to the district attorney's office. ; Brickbats hurtled through the air and police nightsticks swung into ac- tion in the forenoon a short while after some of the former service men Alfred von Niezychowski, now an American citizen and resident of De- troit, has announced himself a can- didate for the Democratic nomination as congressman from the first Mich- igan district. During the war Niezy- chowski, who is a former Polish count, served as a German naval lieutenant aboard the cruiser Kron- prinz Wilhelm, German raider that terrorized allied shipping and sent 14 vessels to the bottom of the Atlan- tic.

DRAGNET IS LAID FOR LEADERS IN RADICAL PLOT AGAINST BANKS Michigan Prosecuting Attorney Blames Russia for Sys- tematized Attack Chicago, July 28.—(AP)—Authors of communistic. propaganda found in a Pontiac, Mich., hotei were sought Thursday by the secret service and detectives everywhere as the direc- tors of a nation-wide campaign against the confidence of bank depo- sitors. Chicago bankers, government offi- cials and Michigan police unhestita- tingly blamed the communist party for a systematized attack on the in- tegrity of financial institutions in many large cities, particularly the runs which threatened every bank in Chicago last month. It was said by C. L, Smith, prosecuting attorney at Pontiac, to have been backed by So- viet Russia. William Z. Foster, communist can- didate for president, denied ganization had sponsored a w! ing campaign gai i tional Bank of Pon known as George Rowland, in whose room seditious letters were found, was a member of that party. IPARTY REFUSES 10 OFFER 13 MEASURES FOR POPULAR VOTE Advocated by Langer, Who As- serts |. V. A. Administration Is Raiding Treasury ;PAINTS GLOOMY PICTURE Says Financial Cupboard Will Be Bare When Newly Elect- ed Men Take Office Members of the Nonpartisan League, at a special meeting called here Wednesday night by William Langer, Republican candidate for governor, referred to the party execu- tive committee a proposal by Langer that 13 measures be initiated and submitted to the electorate in Nov- ember. Members of the executive commit- tee indicated they would turn thumbs down on the idea and this had been made clear when a 42 to 21 vote of those present referred the matter for action. Reason for his desire to initiate the measures, some of which were design- ed to redeem campaign pledges and others to increase the revenues in the state treasury, was given by Langer as the fact that the present I. V. A. administration is fast deplet- ing the treasury and that the state's financial cupboard will be bare when the Nonpartisans assume control next vanuary if they are elected in Nov- ember. Chief among the measures were those eliminating the board of ad- {ministration and placing its affairs in the hands of the present indus- trial commission; requiring all po- litical subdivisions to deposit their funds with the Bank of North Da- kota; making sharp increases in the income taxes of individuals receiving more than $30,000 a year and of cor- porations; and taxing every business establishment in the state a license fee with a sharply increased tax on chain stores, The meeting was called by Langer, who sent out telegrams inviting va- rious leaders and members of the or- ;sanization to assemble here and con- sider the proposals. Warned by Lund The gubernatorial candidate said he had been told by O. B. Lund, audi- tor for the state board of auditors, that there is prospect the Bank of North Dakota will be unable to pay the interest on its bonds and on state real estate bonds, with the prospect that it may have to register checks for future payment, as it did at one time in the past. He painted a gloomy picture of the state's financial Prospects and said the proposal to bolster the Bank of North Dakota deposits and to increase the state's finances by the chain store and in- come taxes were borh Of the impend- ing emergency.

This developed a short while after the complete evacuation of all vet- erans from government property. Every policeman available was or- dered to the lower Pennsylvania avenue section to guard against any contingencies, Meanwhile, thousands of veterans from other encampments marched to the scene, some of them picking up bricks and stones en route. In the melee, Pelham D. Glassford, superintendent of police, was hit by a brick and his badge was torn off his coat. Later, it was restored by one of the veterans. Waters, in a conference with Glassford, told the police chief the men were out of his control. Some of the former soldiers were reported to have pulled revolvers, but none * been fired. ~olice said the brick-throwers had come ‘cross the street from an adja- cent ball park. Waters claimed they were followers of John Pace, Detroit, twice urrested leader of the radical wing of the bonus seekers. Believes Physicians Must Reduce Charges New York, July 28—(7)—Dr. A. J.

Melvin A. Traylor, president of the First National bank and former head of the American Bankers association, blamed the “radicals.” He said he be- lieved the “plot to be nation-wide,” and that he had reports from many cities that a similar system was used in frightening depositors by anony- mous telephone messages.
