The court issued an order calling on the secretary of state to appear Sept. 22 to show cause why the peti- tions should not be found insufficient and illegal. W. C. Preckel, member of the work- men’s compensation bureau, and R. Van Neste, employe of the state high- way department, brought the action against the secretary of state. Byrne has held the petitions for initiating the law are sufficient and unless the court finds the petitions insufficient the proposal will be voted at the general election November Scott Cameron, Bismarck, counsel for Preckel and Van Neste. in a brief filed with the court, alleges the peti- tions are void and insufficient for the following reasons: That the petitions do not contain the full text of the measure proposed as required by the constitution and the state without setting out either the law to be amended nor the law as} it would read when amended. | That the proposed law is not com- plete in itself and fails to set out, re- enact, and publish at length the laws that are being amended; that. the method of amending by providing a Percentum change in the amounts used in the law, indicating the salaries of officers and state employes, is in direct violation of the constitution. That the petition is insufficient in form in that it embraces more than one subject. 4 That the measure, if it became a! law, would be in violation of the con-j stitution in that it refers to persons; and attempts to fix the salary and| compensation only of persons whoj are state employes in the month of January, 1932.

RED CROSS PARLEY ARRANGED IN STATE Will Lay Plans For Annual Roll: Call Campaign, Begin. =| ning Oct. 9 With three conferences with na- tional directors of the organization scheduled in North Dakota in the next two weeks, American Red Cross chap- ters throughout the state are mar- shalling forces for annual member- ship campaigns beginning Oct. 9. Following a discussion here Friday with C. F, Rowland, who directed the North Dakota-Montana relief work last winter, Miss Mary Cashel, secre- tary of the Burleigh county chapter, said plans for the county drive will be completed by the middle of next week. The drive in the city of Bismarck is to be conducted in connection with the annual Community Chest cam- paign. The first conference with national officers will be held at Minot Monday while the other two are arranged for Mandan Sept. 28 and Carrington Sept. 29. At Minot Governor George F. Shaf- er will be one of the principal speak- ers. Roll call plans of the national organization will be outlined by Henry M. Baker, assistant disaster re- lef director of the Red Cross,.and Rowland. “ In Fargo Friday on his way to Minot, Howard Bonham, representa- tive of the midwestern branch office of the Red Cross, expressed confidence that last year’s membership of near- ly 49,000 would be exceeded by the approaching roll call. ‘According to @ report issued recent- ly by the Red Cross, the organization spent $2,266,000 in relief work last year throughout the Northwest Grought-stricken area, with $707,000 being’ expended in North Dakota. More than 50,000 drought victims in this state were among 230,000 in the Northwest who received food, fuel, medical aid, seed and other types of relief from the Red Cross.

Looks on; ROOSEVELT READY TO OUTLINE VIEWS ON RAILROAD ISSUE Candidate Will Speak in Mor- mon Tabernacle on Trans- portation Industry Salt Lake ‘City, Utah, Sept. 17 (®)—Checking off the eighth of the states he has crossed on his pre: etnor Franklin D. Roosevelt left be- hind Wyoming with its cheering crowds and reached Salt Lake City where Saturday night he will ad- vance proposals for relieving the na- tion’s railroad situation. Roosevelt arrived at Salt Lake City, one of the important railroad cen- ters of the west, about midnight Fri- day. He will remain Saturday and Sunday. Sunday night his special train will head north for the Pacific northwest. Most of Saturday was given over to conferences with delegations from Utah, Montana, Wyoming and Ne- vada. At noon Roosevelt had sched- uled an appearanre at a Chamber of Commerce luncheon. Roosevelt's railroad speech will be delivered in the famous Mormon Tabernacle at 7:15 p. m. Mountain Standard Time. A double radio hookup has been arranged for the address. The speech, it is under- stood, will take up 45 minutes. It is understood the Democratic nominee, among other things, will ask for a broadening of the powers of the Interstate Commerce commis- sion, to include jurisdiction over bus, truck and airplane service. After leaving Denver early Friday morning, the Roosevelt special trav- eled all day through the Wyoming “cow” country—the frontier. Roosevelt made seven pearances as his train threaded its way through the prairies. At Cheyenne, Roosevelt left his train to address a crowd and go for a motor trip through the Wyoming capital and to Fort Warren and the veterans’ hospital near the city. In a short impromptu speech at Cheyenne, the Democratic pace setter said he had had “assurances, stamp- ed, sealed and delivered” that “Mis- souri, Kansas and Colorado would do better than Maine.” Maine went De- nal last Monday in a state elec- yn. To the crowd at the old Pony Ex- press city he said he was visiting the west “to find out the needs. and con- ditions” of the people “so that when.

(Associated Press Photo) BANDIT TRIO GETS $1,700 IN RAID ON BANK AT FREDONIA Four Are Ordered to Lie on Floor While Two Bandits Scoop Up Cash Fredonia, N. D., Sept. 17.—()— Bank raiders committed their fifth North Dakota holdup in 13 days as they robbed the First State Bank of Fredonia, Logan county, of $1,700 Friday and escaped amid a fusilade of bullets. Bank officers followed the men from the bank and fired seven shots at the bandits. Two men entered the bank while a third waited outside in a large blue car, bearing a Minnesota license, the number of which was not obtained. William Preutz, president; William Jans, cashier; Sharpe Preutz, assistant cashier, and Otta Gackle, postmas- ter here, were ordered to the floor while the bandits seized available currency. The four then were placed in the vault which the robbers fail- ed to lock, enabling their victims to leave the bank on the heels of the raiders. Sharpe Preutz and Jans fired sev- en shots as the bandit car sped away. They believed one or more bullets may have struck the car. The men worked rapidly after en- tering the bank with an order to “get down on the floor.” They took only currency, passing up available silver. One bandit was described as about 27 years old, five feet, nine inches tall, 185 to 190 pounds and wearing a light blue suit. The other was said to be five feet, two inches tall, 130 pounds and had a scrawny black mustache. Both were unmasked and carried guns. One stood at the door while their car was parked in front of a building next door. A short distance west of here their trail was lost. Later reports were the car was cashier's cage and the other at the| 44 The Weather Minot, N. D., Sept. 17.—()—George Keup, mayor of Columbus and form- er vice president of the now closed Farmers State Bank of that city, was fatally shot Friday evening, and Henry Frazon, 50, farmer living near Columbus, is in jail in Minot Satur- day and will be charged with the mur- der of Keup, Sheriff J. P. Doyle of Burke county said. Frazon, taken into custody at Kin- caid a short distance south of Colum- bus, shortly after Keup had been shot in his office in the bank building, has steadfastly denied that he did the shooting. Sheriff Doyle brought Frazon to the Ward county jail in Minot at 3 a, m. Saturday, saying he deemed it wise to take his prisoner out of Burke county because of high feeling in the Columbus vicinity. The shooting of Keup took place about 5:45 p. m. and he died at mid- night in a Noonan hospital! Keup, it was reported, on at least two occasions prior to his death, de- clared Frazon was the man who had shot him. Two shots were fired at Keup, only one of which struck him. This pene- trated his chest, came out near the spine, went through the back of the chair in which he was sitting, hit the floor, glanced up and struck the plas- ter and fell back on the floor. Several Heard Shots The two shots were heard by several persons in Columbus and George Pat- terson and George Miller, who en- tered the bank building where Keup {has been operating a money exchange jand was engaged in the insurance business since the bank closed. found Keup lying on the floor in-# pool of blood. Keup, soon after being found wounded, was reported to have named | Frazon as his assailant, and a search was immediately started for the farmer, while others made arrange- ments to take the wounded man to the hospital at Noonan. Leo Mahoney, Columbus newspaper- man, who went to Noonan to interro- gate Keup as to who had shot him, reported that in the presence of him- self, Dr. J. A. Smith of Noonan and two nurses, the following conversa- tion took place: you, George?” Keup replied. “Henry Frazon.” Mahoney reported that the bullet which killed Keup was from a .38 cal- iber gun. Find Revolver Buried An old .38 caliber revolver, with two exploded shells in it, is in the possession of Sheriff Doyle, having been found near Kincaid after a wom- an living near there had declared she saw Frazon apparently burying some- thing and directed the sheriff to the spot. Frazon was visited by a newspaper- man in the Ward county jail Satur- jay. Told he was to be charged with murder, in connection with the shoot- ing of Keup, tears came to his eyes and he exclaimed, “all I've ever had since I came to North Dakota two years ago was trouble.

Blaine, has stumped the state throughout the summer,/ calling upon the voters to retain Progressives in office. The governor has charged the Republican party is) “the soulless tool of entrenched wealth,” while Senator Blaine has} suggested President Hoover be im- peached for his attitude toward bonus-seeking war veterans.

The man apparently had been dead since Thursday, A .22 calibre rifle, with one bullet. fired, was lying near the body, and faint burns were found on the head An inquest has been ordered. The body was found in a clump of bushes about two miles south of the Foster-Stutsman county line. In pockets of Brooks, oi! station operator who began farming last spring, were found about 30 cents.

At the ther end of Pennsylvania avenue, meanwhile, President Hoover confer- red with a number of political call- ers, but the white house declined to; say whether Hoover will go beyond the previously agreed total of three campaign speeches. ‘Treasurer Encouraged One of the president's visitors was Joseph R. Nutt, treasurer of the Re- publican nation:* cofmittee. He said the Demcoratic victory in Maine had increased campaign contributions to a point where the goal of $1,500,000 was in sight. “I told the president that I felt pretty good over the Maine elections, anyhow,” Nutt told newspapermen. “As I interpret it, people want to maintain the present administration! and are coming forward with their money to help. “Many of our largest contributors; now are people who didn’t give us a/ cent in 1928. I'll tell you right now that total will be $1,500,000 or more.”| Another white house caller was Senator Hastings of Delaware, as- sistant manager of the eastern ca! paign.

The First State Bank of Fredonia was robbed February 11, 1931, by a man who obtained $600. He was ap- Prehended later. The Fredonia robbery follows a raid on the People’s State bank of Par- shall, held up Thursday. Other rob- beries in the last 13 days were at Bow- bells, Hunter and Hatton. The Fredonia robbery brought the number of bank raids in North Dako- ta this year to six. The first robbery of the year was January 21, when the First National Bank of Reynolds was robbed of about $1,900. The slate is then clean until Sep- tember 3, when bank robbers, includ- ing two women machine gunners, ob- tained $1,100 at Hunter. The First National Bank of Bow- bells was robbed Sept. 7, bandits tak- was robbed ‘of $2,500 September 15. Between 3 and 4 p. m. appeared to be the raiders’ favorite hour.
