Five hundred Paraguayan soldiers, the first to leave here for the front to engage in the undeclared war against Bolivia, started up the river Wednes- day toward the Chaco. There was considerable confusion and a near disaster at the very start, for so eager were the young men to join up 300 volunteers stormed the vessel just before she shoved off and nearly capsized her. During the night 1,200 men reached the capital answering the mobiliza- tion order. Most of them are college students and school boys. A detachment of the Argentine army was ordered to the Bolivia frontier to maintain Argentina’s neu- trality. MOBILIZATION OF MEN ORDERED BY BOLIVIA La Paz, Bolivie, August 3.—(P)— The ministry of war Wednesday ord- ered a mobilization of all classes of youths. between 22 and 29 years old in anticipation of war with Para- guay in the Chaco region. The arder also included all retired officers between 20 and 50. A high official told The Associated Press Bolivia will inform the League of Nations that an immediate settle- y ment of the Chaco dispute must be af effected or she will go to war. As a result of the government's decision, a general mobilization of Boltvian forces was expected at any time, especially following notice that Paraguay had issued a mobilization order.

BISMARCK COUSINS ADVANCE TOGETHER IN GOLF TOURNEYS Paul Cook Reaches Quarter- Finals and Nadine O'Leary Reaches Final Fargo, N. D. Aug. 3.—(#)—Four players from Fargo, two from Dickin- son, one. from Bismarck and one from Grand Forks were in the quarter- finals of the 18th annual state tourn- ament of the North Dakota Golf as- sociation as players teed off for the third round of the event at the Fargo Country club Wednesday afternoon. It was Pargo against the field in the third round, as in every case a Fargo player was pitted against an outsider. Paul Cook, Bismarck, the defend- ing champion, was pitted against Fred Cummer, Jr., Fargo, who de- feated Les Stern of Valley City in the ‘second round Wednesday morn- ing, 4-and 3. Cummer shot only one over par to the 15th, where the match terminated: Cook ended his second round match on the 14th green where he was 6 up on Eddie Powers, Fargo. R. T. Barnard, Fargo, once a run- ner-up in the state classic, was paired with William ‘Kostelecky, Jr.; of Dick- inson, for the right to go into the semi-finals Thursday over the 36- hole route. The winner of this match plays Cook or Cummer Thursday. Barnard defeated another veteran Fargo Country club player, John P. Martin, once a state tourney medal- ist, in the second round Wednesday, 3 and 2. Kostelecky won the right to go into the quarter-finals by vir- tue of a victory on the 19th hole jthe best bet for the chairmanship of | ent administration. WEAN, STKE 10 HEAD COMMITTEES OF PARTY GROUPS Billed as Choice of Democrats and Regular Republicans at Meetings Here FOWLER HOLDS OLD FORT Persists in “Real” Republican Alignment; Regulars Ignore Hoover BULLETIN 0. £. Erickson, Kidder county, was elected chairman of the reg- ‘ular Republican state central committee Wednesday afternoon, defeating Dr. E. C. Stucke, Gar- rison, and R. A. Kinzer, Valley City, for the post. Fred McLean, Democratic war horse from Grand Forks, appeared the Democratic state central commit- tee as party leaders went into session here Wednesday afternoon. Dr. E. C. Stucke, Garrison, appear- ed likely to win the legal chairman- ship of the Republican state central committee, which is dominated! by the Nonpartisans. A. W. Fowler, Fargo, was slated to continue his leadership of the s0- called “Real” Republican or minority group, now badly shattered as the result of repudiation by Republican voters at the primary election in June. This appeared to be the upshot of many political caucuses and confer- ences Tuesday night and Wednesday as party cohorts gathered here for the meetings. It was improbable that the Real Republicans would join with the Nonpartisans in their. meeting, al- though it was considered possible that a last-minute arrangement might be made to accomplish this and bring all the Republicans inte one fold. Prel‘minary committees had plat- | forms and resolutions ready to pres- ent to the committees to be officially appointed by the central committees. The “Real” Republican declaration was expected to contain an outright indorsement of Hoover and the pres- To Ignore Hoover The regular Republican committee was expected to treat the Hoover candidacy to the thunders of silence, at the same time indorsing Repub- lican candidates for state and na-; ttonal office nominated at the pri-! mary election in June. Both regular Republicans and De- mocrats were to declare for strict economy with the abolition of useless boards and bureaus, to urge haste on the St. Lawrence waterway, the six-| hour day and five-day week and wa- ter conservation. The regular Republicans were ex- pected to appoint a committee to in- vestigate the financial condition of the state government and report to the people and the next legislature how much economy would be neces- sary in order to reduce expenses to the same level as income, now re- duced by non-payment of taxes. The Republican groups were to re- main silent on prohibition as a state issue while the Democrats were plan- ning a plank calling for repeal.

PRICE FIVE CENTS V Popularity Race Starts Thursday Scores of Young Bismarck Women Are Nominated by Friends | Chicago Will be Awarded Winners STORES WILL PROVIDE CASH CUSTOMERS WITH BALLOTS Wild Scramble For Favor of Capital City Populace Is on, With Nominees Seeking Novel Means of Attract- ing Most Favorable Attention Everything was in readiness Wednesday for the opening Thursday of the great popularity election sponsored by The Bismarck Tribune and Bismarck merchants. Scores of contestants had been nominated and local mer- chants were prepared to begin issuing ballots Thursday. Votes will be given for all cash payments of $1 or more, including payments on open accounts and installment purchases, regard- less of when the latter were made. To facilitate counting the votes and the management of ! the campaign, the votes will be given out only in blocks of 100 or more. A purchase of from $1 to $2 will entitle the pur- chaser to 100 votes; from $2 to $8 to 200 votes and so on. Ballots will be given for retail sales only. Prospects of a luxurious trip to Miami, Florida, with all expenses paid, have attracted many entries and many girls have been placed in nomination by their relatives and friends. In addition to the grand prize, the three dis- trict prizes, which are free trips to Chicago, increase the prospect of each entrant winning something. Never before have so many fine prizes been offered in a popularity election and never before has the, interest been so keen. Each girl realizes that, with a little work among her friends, she easily may obtain one of these free trips, such as many girls dream of but few ever receive. Methods of obtaining votes have been suggested to every entrant by the campaign director and it is expected that ingenious entrants will think up new methods to suit their local conditions. The general method, however, is to induce friends and relatives to trade at the stores which are cooperat- ing with The Tribune in staging this wonderful free offer. For each cash purchase or payment of $1 or more they will receive 100 votes which may be voted for their favorites. Although the names of entrants nominated to date are printed in this issue of The Tribune, there still is plenty of time to nominate popular girls who will haye excellent chances to win. It is the active and popular girls who make real efforts among their friends who will win these fine prizes and there still is excellent opportunity for late comers. Remember, the contest begins Thursday. With every dollar cash pay- ment made to any merchant cooperating in this contest, votes will be given.

Waters Concedes That New Camp Cannot Be Success POLICEMEN ARE VINDICATED Bonus-Seekers Plan to Estab- lish Protest Camps in Own Home States Washington, August 3.—(7)—The weary and unwanted B. E. F. was figuring out Wednesday how far it is to home. Routed from the District of Colum- bia, barred from Maryland and Vir- ginia, received with scant welcome in Pennsylvania, many of the bedrag- gled bonus-seekers decided the only thing to do was what their com- mander ordered—go back home and establish 48 battlefronts instead of one. Walter W. Waters, their leader, conceded in a statement early Wed- nesday that a new national camp could not be established. He held that the formation of tent cities in each of the 48 states to house vet- erans from that state only would do more good. Some veterans at the Maryland camp halfway between Washington and Baltimore could nct wait for daybreak to get off the ground Gov- ernor Ritchie said they could not oc- cupy, anyhow. The proposed homeward trek also saw finis written to one of the Startling incidents last week—the fatal shooting of two veterans by po- licemen before President Hoover call- ed out regular army troops to stop rioting. A coroner's jury found that Po- liceman George Shinault and Miles Znamenacek “in defense” shot. Wil- liam J, Hushka of Chicago and Eric Carlson of Oakland, Cal. Hushka was buried Tuesday at Ar- lington national cemetery. Carlson may go there, too. i further grand jury investigation of the whole affair—particularly to see if communists and radicals in- cited the fighting—drew new testi- jmony Wednesday. Meanwhile, Hav- anes Mackloodian, Chicago, the last of 15 men seized as radicals, was re- leased. Leo A. Rover, district at- torney, said investigation disclosed Mackloodian had served time in Leavenworth during the World War as an alien enemy but had been in this country too long for deportation. to the District of Columbia line. jWith him were released but escorted ( i BONUS-SEEKERS WILL DISBAND IMMEDIATELY Johnstown, Pa., Aug. 3.—(#)—Doak Carter announced Wednesday that the Bonus Expeditionary Force will move from Johnstown as soon as pos- |sible, probably to some other Penn- sylvania site. |_ Carter is chief of staff of the B. E. F. The announcement was made fol- lowing a conference called by Mayor ; Eddie McCloskey for a “showdown.” The mayor previously had announced he would wire Commander Walter W. Waters asking him to “clarify” his plans for the immediate future of the veterans. The mayor asked the field staff to tell him whether Commander Waters wants the expedition disbanded. He referred to conflicting state- ments attributed “to the commander Tuesday night. Summoning Carter and other mem- bers of the field staff to his office, McCloskey said: “I'm getting sick and tired of this monkey business. First I hear re- Ports that Waters says to disband the army, then you say he says ‘stick.’ “Why doesn’t he communicate with me? I am the mayor and I was good enough to invite you here.” Farmers Will Begin Holding Wheat Aug. 15 Apparently gathering impetus in many parts of the west, the “hold your wheat” and “farmers’ holiday” movements were approaching a crisis ‘Wednesday. Sponsors of the “farmer's holiday” movement, which originated in Iowa, have designated Aug. 15 as the date for the buying strike to begin. In a statement here Wednesday, Dell Wil- , Tolna, sponsor of the “hold your wheat” movement in North Dakota, said the Tolna plan would be made effective at the same time. From Williston came a report that farmers in that area had declared support for the movement while a dispatch from Willmar, Minn., said Kandiyohi county farmers had called i Zit is 42 price and then a month 80 as at a meet- in state Convention Slayer - C.

Joe Worner, Burleigh county farm laborer, is believed to have drowned when his car dived over an embank- ment into the Missouri river 10 miles south of Bismarck Sunday. Bernard Fuestenberg, Ft. Lincoln soldier, was knocked unconscious, Miss Margaret Schloemer of 422 Second St. was severely cut and Miss Harriet Malm, 510 Second St., and Vern Nagle of Bismarck were bruised when the car in which they were riding turned over near the penitentiary at about 7:30 p. m. Tuesday. Miss Schloemer was given first aid treatment at the prison hospital where seven stitches were taken in her leg. Fuestenberg was given emergency treatment at St. Alexius hospital and later was remov- ed to the infirmary at the post. Adam Rott, McClusky farmer, is in @ local hospital suffering from injur- jes sustained when his hand was caught in the machinery of a com- bine Tuesday. He lost three fingers on his left hand and suffered severe laceration about the hand and wrist. Authorities were searching for the body of Worner Wednesday, believing that he was drowned some time Sun- day night. An employe of William Nattonal Guards Follow- ing Death of Man Terre Haute, Ind., August 3—(7)— A union picket line bristling with rifles held prisoner in the Dixie Bee coal mine Wednesday 60 workmen, four of them wounded by gunfire Tuesday in which one picket was killed and four injured. National guard troops and. air- planes equipped to scatter the attack- ers by use of gas were requested of Governor Harry G. Leslie by Sheriff Joe Dreher, whose deputies were helpless to raise the siege in the face of a picket strength estimated at 3,000. Governor Leslie Wednesday order- ed Indiana national guard troops in- to Vigo county. The union men blocked all roads in a square mile surrounding the non-union shaft, permitted no one to approach within half a mile of the mine, and turned back two am- bulances sent Tuesday night to re- Previously 14 other men arrested! move the injured workmen. Grimly holding their lines, they were reported by observers Tuesday night to be “closing in on the mine.” The men in the mine were said to be conserving their ammunition and Preparing for a possible battle at close quarters. Governor Leslie kept in touch with the situation said he would order troops into the region “when and if the time comes.” The mine casualties resulted from more than six hours of almost con- tinuous firing after the first violence broke out late in the afternoon. Tay- lor Kellar, 24, of Linton, Ind., shot in the head, died in an ambulance en route to a Sullivan, Ind., hospital. Grant Swann, 22, Jasonville, Ind., was in a hospital here, a bullet wound in the leg. Other wounded were treated by a Farmersburg phy- sician. Prosecutor Charles C. Whitlock, who visited the mine with Sheriff Dreher, said the four wounded there were placed in the fan house and mine office. One was shot in the side, another in the leg. Whitlock and the sheriff said shots were fired at them before they left the mine property. Whitlock revealed there woman at the mine. He believed her to be the wife of the barn boss. AND GIRLS BODY BURIED I CHLLAR Search For 17-Year-Old Evelyn Sanford, Ludington, Mich., Ends is one Ludington, Mich., Aug. 3.—()—The body of 17-year-old Evelyn Sanford, who disappeared last Saturday, was found buried in the basement of a vacant house in the rear of the home of Francis Nash in Freesoil Wednes- day. Nash was taken into custody for questioning Tuesday. Coroner Rupert Stevens of Mason county reported the girl apparently had been assaulted and strangled. Eg Te ped eesti McDonald, farmer in the bottoms, he had been visiting at the home of a neighbor Sunday and had not been seen since Sunday evening. Friends became alarmed when he failed to return after two days. and instituted a search Wednesday morn- ing. His car was discovered by An- drew Irvine, a neighbor. Representatives of the sheriff's of- fice and W. E. Perry, coroner, were directing the search for his body. The car was found near the point where two Sterling hunters met death last fall. The searching party succeeded in getting the car clear of the water af- ter several hours work only to find that Worner apparently had been thrown from the car when it fell or his body had been washed out of the tonneau by the current. The fact that his machine was an open car led them to believe the second theory most probable. Authorities at points along the riv- er have been notified and have been asked to be on the lookout for the body. A boat patrol under the direc- tion of Deputy Sheriff Fred Anstrom also was conducting @ search for the body. The coroner was attempting to get in touch with Worner’s relatives Wed- nesday. An insurance policy found among his effects indicated that he leaves his mother and his divorced widow. The Worner accident occurred on an abandoned road where the Mis- souri had cut into the bank leaving a steep drop-off into the river.
