Warring Factions Cause Con- cern; South Dakotan May Be Peacemaker Minneapolis, Aug. 10.—()—Another effort at correlating the activity of warring Democratic factions in Min- nesota was seen today in the an- nouncement that W. W. Hawes, South Dakota national committeeeman, has been made regional director for the Democratic national campaign in a territory comprising Minnesota, Iowa, and the two Dakotas. Reports Howes will open a regional headquarters here were circulated Wednesday, but were discounted by Joseph Wolf, Minnesota national committeeman. “Nothing of that kind was con- templated when I was at the nation- al headquarters recently,” he said, “and it was given out that each state would handle its own pendently, under direction of the na- tional committee.” The Minnesota situation is said to be worrying Democratic national chiefs and it was considered possible that some outside authority would be assigned to. work on a harmony pro- gram for the state.

The government quickly mobilized to stem the spread of the revolt, ap- Parently an attempt at a monarch- ist coup. Fragmentary reports from Seville, in the southwest, said a rebel force under General Sanjurjo had captured the communications building. From Algeciras, in the south, near Gibral- tar, reports said an army detach- ment had mutinied in the nearby town of Lalinea. The naval garrison at Cartagena, on the southeast coast, also was reported to have mutinied. The causes of the trouble were ob: scure. Communications with out, lying c:ties were impossible. Madrid police under the command of Director of Public Safety Menen- dez repulsed the attack on the min- istry of war, spraying the open Square with machine-gun bullets. Seven were killed and about a dozen wounded on both sides during that engagement. Ninety arrests were made, but only 36 of the prison- ers were civilians. Among the others were General Jose Cavalcanti, Gen- eral Emilio Fernandez Perez and General Gonzalez Garrasco. They were detained because police said they had led some of the rebel groups which fired on the police.

Fighting Lasts An Hour The attack in Madrid, which broke out at dawn, was put down after more than an hour of intermittent fighting during which the Cibeles Plaza and adjoining streets were raked by ma- chine gun fire. Authorities described the attacking forces variously as disaffected troops, communists, monarchists and other extremists, The first attack began in front of |the war ministry building. Two auto- |mobiles filled with the attackers a jpeared before the building, heavily | armed, and were met with a burst of fire from the government police, under the direction of director of public safety Menendez, who had been. forewarned that trouble was brewing.

TO DEFEND CHARGES {Preacher Accused of Murdering i His Wife Sells Taber- nacle For $75 Muskogee, Okla., Aug. 10.—()—Fac- ing arraignment on a charge of mur- dering his first wife by poisoning her, the Rev.

MORTGAGE REPEAL MEASURE IS FILED TO GO ON BALLOT 12,000 Sign Petition Asking Reversal of Action Taken By Voters in June BULLETIN Tobias D. Casey of Dickinson, one of the committee of petitioners to ini- tiate two laws requiring the publica- tion of personal property assessments today announced that these petitions will not be filed. “While obtaining the required num-/| ber of signatures,” Mr. Casey said, “the committee found a growing dis- satisfaction with the use of the ballot for purely administrative law-making. “After consideration it was decided that these petitions should not be filed, but the principles involved will be presented to the legislature for action.” Petitions for the initiation of a law permitting the mortgaging of| crops and providing certain restric- tions were filed with Secretary of State Roscrt Byrne Wednesday. Byrne said the petitions have ap- proximately 12,000 signatures, 2,000 more than necessary, and have been tentatively accepted, subject to fur- ther check. Petitions bearing addi- tional signatures were coming in, he said. The measure, if passed in the Nov- ember election, he said, would have the effect of superseding an initiated law adopted at the June primary which outlaws crop mortgages. A committee for the petitioners, composed of five northwestern North Dakota farmers, E. H. Kendall of Minot; T. N. Jorgenson, Archie Snider, Emmet; J. B. Bowbells, and J. W. McNamara, Ep. worth, sponsored the proposed law which would “permit the mortgaging of farm crops.’ Text of the petition provides that “such mortgage shall attach only to the crop next maturing except in the case of mortgages given to secure the purchase or rental of the land on which such crops are grown. All acts in conflict herewith are repealed.” Eight Measures Filed The Weather Probably showers tonight and Thurs- day; little change in temperature. PRICE FIVE CENTS nior College. SCHOOL BOARD WILL DECIDE QUESTION AT MEETING THURSDAY Plan Is Presented Tuesday Night by Committee of Interested Parents PERMITTED BY STATUTE Favorable Vote By Two-Thirds Majority Necessary to Carry Out Scheme Bismarck citizens probably will vote within the next two weeks on a Proposal to establish a junior college here, Approval by the city school board of such a proposal is expected at a meeting of the board in the high school building Thursday evening at 8 o'clock, according to H. O. Saxvik, superintendent of schools. The plan was laid before the board by more than 30 Bismarck parents at @ meeting Tuesday night, but no de- finite action was taken by the board at that time since only three of the board members were present. All three, however, expressed themselves in favor of the plan, Saxvik said. The board members at the meeting Tuesday evening were Dr. W. E. Cole, George M. Register and Burt Finney. George F. Will, another member of the board, is expected to attend the meeting Thursday night. E. B. Cox, the fifth member, is at Detroit Lakes, Minn., and is not expected here. If the board approves the idea, Saxvik said, a special election within the next two weeks will be called. Under a statute passed by the state legislature in 1931, a favorable vote by two-thirds of the voters is neces- sary before steps toward establish- ment of the college may be taken. Cave Is Spokesman Acting as spokesman for the par- ents Tuesday evening was Frank E. Cave, 510 Avenue E. He said the parents are behind the move because they will be unable to send their chil- dren to out-of-town institutions of higher learning this year but would be able to send them to a junior col- lege here. Under the plan, according to Sax- vik, there would be no additional bur- den to taxpayers of the city because all costs of the college would be borne by tuition charges. Though the pro- Posed college would occupy the high School building, he said, students would be required to furnish their own text books and supplies. The superintendent said fewer Bis- marck high school graduates than in many years have asked for tran- scripts of their credits this year so that they might matriculate at out- of-town colleges or universities. He said he Believed that if the college is established here, Mandan will send more than a score of students to it. No junior colleges such as is pro- Posed here has been established else- where in North Dakota. Saxvik said the school board would not conduct a campaign for approval of the college proposal, declaring that all work in behalf of the program must be carried on by interested par- ents. What Law Provides Chapter 246 of the 1931 session laws Provides that the “board of education of any special school district in any city of the state having a population of more than 10,000, when authorized by a two-thirds vote of the electors voting thereon to do so, may estab- lish and maintain, in conjunction with the high school of such district, a department of junior college work to consist of not more than two ‘years of work beyond a four-year high school course.” The statute provides that 10 days notice must be given voters before the election and requires the state board of administration to prepare and pub- lish from time to time standards for junior colleges, provide for their in- At noon Wednesday, the last day in which petitions for initiation of laws at the November election can be filed, eight measures had been presented to the secretary of state while peti- tions for two other measures were expected sometime this afternoon. Besides that permitting crop mort- gages, a constitutional amendment to Tepeal the state prohibition laws is on file. Petitions proposing six laws spon- sored ty the North Dakota Taxpay- ers association also are on file. They call for approximately 20 per cent reduction of salaries of state officials and state employes; reduction of sal- aries of district judges; reduction of salaries of judges of the supreme court; reduction of fees paid to news- on bail if retained. .
