The president refused “for moral fatherland.” With great dignity he added his conscience would not permit him to entrust to one party the sole respon- sibility for the entire German peo- ple. | He entreated Hitler to be content with a cabinet office, but not that of chancellor. The Nazi chieftain refused. He as- serted nothing but the chancellorship not share responsibility with others. He straightened his shoulders, {clicked his heels, saluted and left. Several of his party associates who were present at the interview went back to the chancellory to consult on jthe consequences of Hitler's refusal. May Challenge Reichstas The first reaction of members of the von Papen cabinet was to follow the course the chancellor indicated in a recent interview—to go before the new Reichstag wien it assembles at the end of this month and ‘dare the opposition to turn the govern- ment out. In case: of a vote of non-confid- ence, the next step would be to dis- solve the Reichstag and to go on as jat present, governing without parlia- ment until things become calmer. It was understood Hitler has given his assurance that no illegal attempt would be made by the national social- ist party to seize the governing Power, Plans had been laid to offer Hitler @ vice-chancellorship which would include the premiership of the state of Prussia which has been vacant since a virtual dictatorship was es- tablished by Chancellor von Papen few weeks ago. Hitler declined the Prussian miership in combination with post of vice chancellor, demanding instead that he be made chancellor Meanwhile efforts continued to per- suade Hitler to approve Gregor Stras- Ser, one of his most valued assistants, for the post of vice chancellor and Premier of Prussia.

He will present to business and in- dustrial leaders in a conference short- ly his plans for “united and concerted action on a broad front throughout \the country.” The date of the meet- ling he expects to announce Monday. {At that gathering, Hoover will ex- pound his nine-point economic pro- gram to men of importance from each of the twelve federal reserve districts. ‘That was the plan he had in mind when he said in his accept- ance speech: “I am today organizing the private industrial and financial resources of the country to cooperate effectively with the vast governmental instru- mentalities which we have in mo- tion.” His work in that direction, he told newspapermen, has progressed far enough for the businessmen to be called into consultation. With them he will discuss means of speeding self-liquidating construction by loans ;from the reconstruction corporation, jstimulation of a move to clear slum districts, distribution of live stock and feeder loans to farmers, spread- shorter working hours, establishment of the, home loan banking system, stimulating railway construction and repair work, helping in the disposition of agricultural commodities, and oth- er things. And before long, too, he expects to select a new director for another of his relief machines—the organization of unemployment. Walter 8. Gif- ford’s resignation was accepted Fri- day by the president. The director said he felt he could not continue the work for another winter.

VOTES 10 FIGHT FOR DRY LAW Annual Convention of White Ribbon Order Attacks Hoover-Roosevelt Seattle, Aug. 13.—()}—Pledged anew to resist every effort to repeal or sub- mit the 18th amendment to a vote, the Women’s Christian Temperance Union Saturday began the business sessions of its 58th annual convention.

Y., Aug. 13—()—The courts, and not Governor Roosevelt may have the last word in the Wal- ker case. That the defense intends to turn to the courts if the governor's de- cision is against Mayor Walker has been indicated by the legal excep- tions taken to two of Roosevelt's rul- ings at the hearing in the executive jchamber on the charges against the mayor. The defense has challenged the governor's right to scrutinize the mayor's first term and also his ad- mission of Hofstadter committee find- ings as evidence. John J. Curtin, Walker's attorney, took exceptions Friday on both these grounds. . There was no hint as to how such an appeal would be taken. ° Legal steps to halt the hearing on the Seabury charges against the mayor already have been taken by George Donnelly, a home-rule advo- cate, on the ground that the governor has no authority to sit in judgment. It is based on the fact that the state con- stitution does not say specifically that, the governor shall have the power to remove the mayor of a city. The constitution says merely that cities shall have the power to adopt local laws relating. among other things, to the “mode of selection and removal” of their officials. However, a special provision of the New York City charter, believed based on this part of the constitution. bring jthe mayor and the commissioner of police under the law as it relates to the removal of county officials, on which the constitution is very spe- cific. This has never been ruled on by the courts. While the governor's counsel holds ithe executive has the authority to sit in judgment on the mayor, the ‘challenge to this right has already jresulted in the governor agreeing to withhold his decision until after the upreme court meets August 19+ to |rule on the question. | Donnelly merely secured an order jealling on the governor to show {cause why he should not be re- strained. There was no restraining writ issued and the governor coulc jhave gone ahead and announced his decision prior to the show cause hear- ing, but he agreed to withhold it un- {til that date as a matter of judicial jcourtesy. He did not indicate how soon he might make his decision after Aug. 19 or what action he might take should the court ruling be against him. | The hearing was in recess Saturday until Monday. Governor Roosevelt was in Hyde Park and Mayor Walker had gone to New York. Mrs. Walker, who has been ill, remained at her Albany hotel. The strain of the first day's hearing Thursday, which she jattended, was more than she had ex- pected. So far, the mayor has denied flatly that he accepted money from the Equitable Bus company for a Euro- pean trip; has said that he did not know when he received reliance bronze and steel bonds, or that the company made traffic posts pur- chased by the city, and said there was no hidden geason behind Paul Block's stock deal which netted the mayor $246,000. Says Hoover Offers Nothing to Farmers New York, Aug. 13.—(#)—F. W. Mc- Lean, chairman of the North Dakota State Democratic committee, com- menting here Saturday on President Hoover's acceptance speech. said there was little in it for the farmers “If the farmers’ in my state, who are selling their wheat at 26 cents, ean get any comfort from that speech. T'll_be surprised,” said McLain. ‘W. W. Howes, South Dakota nation. al committeeman, said the speech would win votes for the Democrats of his state.

Shafer Takes Three Shovelfuls of Sod From Site THOUSANDS AT PROGRAM Clubs Present Volumes on Pio- neer Mothers to Histori- cal Society Construction of North Dakota’s new $2,000,000 state capitol building was begun Saturday forenoon when Gov- ernor George F. Shafer took the first shovelfuls of sod from the site, just a few rods from the remnants of the old Dakota Territory and state capi- tol structure. Several thousand per- sons attended the ceremony, Cameras clicked and the motor of an airplane overhead roared as the governor took three shovelfuls of dirt, tossing the third clump of sod high in the air. “We are beginning a new chapter in the history of the government of the state and commonwealth of North Dakota on the ground that 40 years ago the citizens of Bismarck contributed as a site for the territor- ial capitol,” the governor said in a short talk before officially beginning excavation work for the 18-story structure. “Almost within the shadow of the remnants of that building, which served as the capitol for six years during territorial days and for 43 years since statehood, we now begin the actual physical labor incident to the building of the structure for which preparations have been under way since the old capitol building burned by fire Dec. 28, 1930. “It is almost 49 years to the day since construction of the old capitol was begun,” he remarked. Governor Shafer briefly traced the steps taken since the fire toward con- struction of the new building, outlin- ing the work of the state capitol building commission.

He said excavation cannot begin be- fore the arrival here of John Davis, | who will supervise construction work. After excavation is completed, the Lundoff-Bicknell company, Chicago contractors who will build the capi- tol, will begin construction work. The Lundoff-Bicknell bid on the project was $1,463,755.
