Nineteen American nations joined in expressing the attitude new to western hemisphere diplomacy. They hope replies to their note will prevent further hostilities in the long dispute. The situation has many earmarks the Sino-Japanese difficulties in Man- churia. But the note dispatched to Paraguay and Bolivia is considered couched in stronger terms than any sent to China or Japan. The message follows the principles of the Kellogg-Briand pact to out- law war as an instrument of nation- al policy, applying them for the first time to this part of the world. It says, in part, that “the American na- tions . . . will not recognize any ter- ritorial arrangement of this contro- versy which has not been obtained by Peaceful means.” Thus should either Paraguay or Bolivia gain by use of arms, the fruits of conquest would be non-ex- istent to the 19 neutrals. The note was signed here by rep- resentatives of the United States, Colombia, Uruguay, Cuba, Mexico, Peru. Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Gua- temala, Venezula, Haiti,... Dominican.

Paraguay informed the League of Nations it was willing to arbitrate and Bolivia, in its note to the league, said it “did not decline” offers of a peaceful settlement. The itself wes reported quiet.

Y., Aug. 4.—()—Gover- nor Franklin D, Roosevelt Thursday informally outlined the broad general Principles which will serve as guid> Posts in forming his recommendations for the’ regulation of the nation’s public utility industry. Broadly, they may be outlined as follows: The governor holds as a primary principle the belief all utility compa- nies whose securities are publicly owned must be compelled to make public detailed financial statements Governor Roosevelt insists upon the right of government to, own power sites and to produce electric power, but does not envisage public owner- ship of all utilities. While the governor is committed to @ policy of stricter regulation of the utility industry, he feels that his par- the ty’s campaign will not impose hard- ships on the soundly directed compa- nies, although it may direct consider- able fire upon those companies which, because of financial transactions or al'eq'ions of excessive rates, have aroused protests from consumers or inyestors. ‘A return of seven to elght per cent on its investment is held by the gov- ernor to be a reasonable expectation by any power company.

Aug. 4—(@)— Francis (Rusty) Nash, 31-year-old re- cluse who confessed he slew 17-year- ‘old Evelyn Sanford, farm girl whose body was found buried in a cellar Wednesday, Thursday was sentenced to life imprisonment in solitary con- finement at hard labor. He confessed Wednesday night, state police and Mason county officers said, that he waylaid the young farm girl Saturday night along a lonely road leading to her home and killed her in anger when she repulsed his advances. He denied assaulting her. Nash was spirited to Traverse City from Manistee Wednesday afternoon when discovery of Evelyn’s body bur- ied in the cellar of a deserted hut in Freesoil aroused threats of violence.! Nash's signed statement, made to state police, Sheriff George L. Colyer and Prosecutor P. R. Von Sprecken, said he met Evelyn near the edge of a swamp, and attempted to put his arm around her. She slapped him. He struck her with his fist, the confession said, and she fell uncon- scious to the roadway. Then he roll- ed her body down an embankment and returned to his home for some rope and a’ gunnysack. He could de- tect no heart. action in the girl, he said, but to make death certain, tied a length of rope tightly around her throat. The post-mortem examina- tion disclosed that the rope caused her death. Then he trussed up the body with rope and gunnysacking, stole a two- wheeled cart from a nearby house and wheeled the body to the hut at the rear of his own home where he bur- fed it. It was there the body was found Wednesday as the tragic con-| clusion of a four-day search. | |.

Beyond campfire smoke screens, Baltimore & Ohio Railroad trainmen sped preparations to move another trainload of men and their families. Mayor Eddie McCloskey, dashing vigorously here and there directing activities, announced that western units will continue moving out through the day. California, Chicago, Kansas City, and a part of the St. Louis contin- gents left during the night amid cheers, songs, and the stirring music of a band. Camp officers said be- tween 900 and 1,100 men left on the l4-car special train but other ob- servers estimated not more than 500 men were on the train when it pull- ed out. A number of women and children were in the contingent. Thousands of citizens crowded the sidewalks while long lines of auto- mobiles congested streets in the ‘southern part of the city, requiring intense activity on the part of city Police and state highway patrolmen to make lanes for the marchers. The Johnstown chamber of com- merce issued a statement Wednes- day night that it had made arrange- ments to finance the exodus of all visiting veterans from this locality. The chaniber refused to name the source ffrom which the funds were received but the Associated Press learned the Bethlehem Steel com- pany, which has a large plant here, has agreed to pay for the special trains, But one delegation, Illinois, had de- finitely decided to converge immed- | jately on its state capital as the first groups left squalid Camp McCloskey for their home states. Springfield, Ill, was the goal of the group which was taken to Chicago, from where it planned to move en masse on the Sangamon county city. Leaders of other contingents held only tentative plans for immediate action although the majority said they expected to eventually set up camps at their capital cities.

Borah says he believes the government's insistence’ on barring reparations and war debts from the Proposed international economic con- ference will be certain to retard world recovery from its business slump. Bluntly, the chairman of the senate foreign relations committee declarcd for opening up every question whose ancestry goes back to the World War in an address at the University of Minnesota Wednesday night. He likened elimination of the two questions with presentation of u “Hamletiess Hamlet,” and then out- lined the terms of a trade proposing cancellation of allied debts owing the United States in return for a perma- nent policy of disarmament by Euro- pean nations. Striking at limitation of conference subject matter, Senator Borah said that the existing international prob- lems canont be solved “by piece-mea) work.” | “I cannot agree that the U. 5S. should be in part of the time and out part of the time,” he said. “I prefer seeing the U. 8. take a firm position and then go boldly forth to its task.” “The conference should include a study of the gold standard. What is it that has put 31 nations of the world off the gold standard? It is repara- tions and debts. Would Trust Representatives | “I will be glad to take part ana see the U. S. take part in any world; conference on these vital questions | and will trust the representatives of our country to protect its interests from start to finish,” the senator sald. Borah called atteniton to figures he said had been given him a few hours before by Frank B. Kellogg, former secretary of state, who sat on the stage. These showed, he said, that Europe has more than 4,500,000 men in its standing armies. Replying to a question, he said that dismissing these men would turn them into productive ; channels. Disarmament would result in re- lieving heavily-taxed European citi- zens and return them to buyers of | American goods, the senator said in the address. American foreign trade has declined to about one-third of what it was in 1929 and its fall ac- counts for many millions of this na- tion’s unemployed, he said.

Standings of the various con- testants will be announced in The Tribune from time to time as com- pilations are made. The large number of entries is con- sidered by the contest director to en- hance the chances of every contest- ant, since it means that fewer votes will be needed to win than would be the case if the entry list were smaller.

M’Lean Are Elected Chairmen HARMONY IS PREVALENT {Regular Republicans and Dem- ocrats Have Similar Ideas on Some Things Republican and Democratic state central committeemen left Bismarck Wednesday night and Thursday morning, apparently well satisfied with the platforms adopted and or- ganizations set up for the fall cam- paign. The Regular Republicans, domi- nated by the Nonpartisan group, elected O. E. Erickson of Tappen as state chairman; Mrs. Minnie D. Craig of Esmond, vice chairman and Ray Smith, Bottineau, as secretary- treasurer. Erickson was minority floor leader of the house at the last legislative session and has long been active in affairs of the Nonpartisan League, which elected a majority of the Re- publican committeemen. Mrs. Craig also is a veteran legislator, while Smith has been secretary of every Nonpartisan meeting in many years. The “Real” Republicans, a rump organization supported by the old I. V. A. faction, reelected A. W. Fowler, Fargo, as chairman; Mrs. E. B. Goss, Minot, vice chairman; Michael Tschida, Glen Ullin, secretary and William Stern, Fargo, treasurer. The Democrats elected Fred W. McLean, Grand Forks, as chairman; G. S. Wooledge, Minot, as secretary and S. J. Doyle, Fargo, treasurer. All three groups will select mem- bers of party executive committees at a later date. Each of the three groups adopted resolutions or a platform. The Re; larations had a few points of simil- arity, in that they promised to elim- inate unnecessary boards and bu- reaus and reduce state expenses. The “Real” Republicans gave most of their literary effort to a panegyric for President Hoover. The regular Republicans indorsed some actions of the administration but refrained from mentioning Hoover by name. Regulars Hold Interest As the dominating faction of the party in power in both state and na- tion, chief interest centered in the regular Republican meeting. Nu- merous candidates for the chairman- ship were mentioned in pre-conven- tion discussions but when the word passed around that William Langer, gubernatorial nominee, had strongly indorsed the Erickson candidacy the result was a landslide. The names of Dr. E. C. Stucke, Garrison, and R. A. Kinzer, Valley City, were of- fered but got only scattering votes as the committeemen flocked to Erickson’s support. ‘There was no organized opposition to Langer’s choice and of the dozen candidates who were nominated by the Nonpartisans in June, Langer seemed to be the only one who had expressed a preference. One explanation made after the convention was that, in view of the chastisement which Langer had tak- en the week before on a proposal to submit 13 initiated measures to the electorate, there was no desire on the part of other party leaders to precipitate a possible breach by op- posing his choice for committee chairman. A surprising element in Langer’s stand, however, was the fact that Stucke, a leader in McLean county Republican circles, had supported him for the gubernatorial indorse- ment at the Non| convention here last winter. But so, for that Erickson. manship but that, too, died in con- ference rooms and informal caucuses and harmony ruled at the close. Indicted |i i
