Washington, Oct. 17.—(P)—After a nation-wide appeal for funds to pro- vide for community support of winter relief needs, President Hoover Mon- cay resumed consideration of plans for continuing his personal campaign tor reelection, These included a determination of ‘when and where, in the three weeks remaining before election day, he wil! make his next appearances before voters. An Atlantic seaboard trip, ending with a speech in New York or ‘New Jersey, was indicated by Repub- Jican leaders. But before considering this question | and the possibility of traveling to California near election time, Hoover paused Sunday night to open the drive for relief contributions of the ‘welfare and relief mobilization com- mittee headed by Newton D. Baker. He spoke into a microphone at the white house only a few hours after returning Sunday morning from his second midwestern campaign swing ‘nd speech at Cleveland. “We must make our material pro- vision for the support of our charit- ‘able and character-building institu- tions,” the president said. “We must provide to the utmost extent for the local community support of the in- creased distress over the country. Proud of Communities “I take profound pride in the fact that my countrymen have accepted the responsibility, each in his own community, to meet this need. That; is the only way to meet it effectively | —in the neighborhood itself, where; the need is known.” At Cleveland too, the president had/| discussed unemployment relief. There Hoover made it the first of “12 major measures” he said composed the ad- ministration record in relation to ‘wage and salary earners. They were: 1, Mobilization of national and local relief agencies, appropriation Of $300,000,000 for loans to states (Continuea on page two) | SAYS ROOSEVELT 10 OPPOSE BONUS PLAN New York Times Declares Dem- ocrat Has Alternative Re- lief Proposal New York, Oct. 17—(7)—The New ‘York Times says Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt will announce opposition to immediate cash payment of the soldiers’-bonus in an address at Pitts- burgh on Wednesday. At the same time, the paper says, he is expected to link to his disap- proval of bonus payment a program calling for relief for destitute war veterans, with machinery similar to the draft boards of World war days. While the program for relief to be offered along with opposition to cash payment of the bonus has been kept. a secret, the article continues, it is suggested the governor will propose the boards would see to it that needy veterans who had an active war serv- ice would be assured of relief during the depression. It also is indicated, the Times says, that the governor will take President Hoover's administration to task in re- spect to veteran relief measures and hhave something to say about the oust- ing of the B. E. F. from Washington. ‘The bonus speech, the paper learns, has been practically completed, al- though it will not be fully assembled until a few hours before he speaks in Pittsburgh. Farmers in Winnipeg To Visit Government Winnipeg, Man., Oct. 17.—(#)—An “army” of several hundred industrial workers and farmers, some of them shouting for “A Soviet Canada,” were encamped about this city Monday prepared for a march on the govern- ment offices to ask relief from econ- omic stress. They have been marching in to ‘Winnipeg since the middle of. last week. Their demands will be made Premier John Bracken.

Rutstein, Boston theatrical supply dealer, as he prepared to face and formally accuse three prisoners charged with kidnaping him for $50,- 000 ransom. A swift police raid on a summer cottage here Sunday released Rut- stein and bagged the trio. Five other members of what detectives called a kidnaping ring were sought in Provi- dence and New York, where they were believed to have fled. The supply’ dealer, who is 32, was kidnaped from his garage in Boston last Tuesday. Bound and blindfolded almost continuously for six days, he was roped to a bed in the cottage here. He was gagged with ticker tape, which his captors would occa-| sionally rip away, tearing his mouth. " He was unshaved and weak from} rough treatment when an anonymous telephone call sent police to the cot- tage. He said he resisted the de- mands of his captors. They told him, he declared, that they had obtained $36,000 by kidnaping two unnamed Boston men and $30,000 for a New Jersey man. The three seized in the cottage! said they were Joseph Gould, 34, and Walter M. Addison, 28, of Boston, and William Harmon, 29, of Brook- lyn. Police said Gould’s fingerprints identified him as Max Schechter of New York city. SQUAW CLINGS 10 OLD INDIAN BELIEF Tells Minnesota Police She Is Being Killed Slowly By Means of Charm Walker, Minn., Oct. 17.—(?)—Be- leving the uncle of the man her son had killed had “put the Indian sign on her,” Mrs. Albert Whipple, aged Leech Lake Chippewa Indian, told Sheriff C. E. Merry of Cass county that she would die within four days unless she could obtain the “big med- eee that was being used to kill er. ‘She explained George Cloud, presi- dent of the Chippewa council, was killing her by means of a charm, to avenge the death of his nephew, George Cloud, Jr.-whom Mrs, Whip- ple’s son, Eddie, clubbed to death at Walker Sept. 24, Mrs. Whipple claimed to have learned of the charm from her “med- icine tube,” a cylinder made of cloth stretched over a wood framework, which, when she put her ear, to it, told her that she was doom: She said Cloud has drawn a picture of her head.on a piece of birch-bark. In the center of the picture he put a spot of red paint, she said. It was this “big medicine” which was kill- ing her, and without which she could not be cured. In order to overcome the death charm, she told the sheriff that she must have the birch-bark, which she would heat and tie on her head, to- gether with a heated stone. She believed, would save her life. Cloud, questioned by the sheriff, said that such beliefs had been com- mon among the Chippewa Indians years ago, but that he had not sus- pected that any of the Indians still held to them. CHILDREN BURN TO DEATH New Castle, Pa., Oct. 17.—(7)— Four children burned to death early Monday as fire destroyed their home near Volant. The mother was se- riously burned as she tried vainly to save the children. The father was at work when the fire started. GOVERNOR CALLSON VOTERS 10 DEFEAT MORATORIUM ISSUE -{Also Favors Repeal of Crop Mortgage Prohibition in | SAYS CREDIT ENDANGERED Declares Crop Security Is Best Avenue For Farmer Who Needs Loan Governor George F. Shafer Monday called on voters of the state to defeat the proposed initiated measure’ pro- |viding for a three-year partial mora- torium on debts an taxes and to sup- {port the proposal for repeal of the {anti-crop mortgage law. Both meas: jures will be voted on at the election November 8. | In a statement, the governor said jadoption of the moratorium measure would destroy public and private seurces of credit, whould wreck local financial institutions and would compel foreign financial institutions to withdraw from the state. He called attention that the act outlawing mortagages was adopted at the June primary election by.a small majority. “Let me say,” he continued, “tha! this measure was not generally dis- ;cussed nor fully considered last June, and, as a result, many people un- Goubtedly voted for it without real- izing that by so doing they were de- stroying the only source of credit of many thousands of farmers in the state, who have in the past, and who must for sometime to come, rely on nancing crop production.” Dakota farmers by the federal gov- ernment will be denied if the anti- crop mortgage law remains on the Statute books, the governor said. Points to Borrowings He pointed cut that in 1931, fol- lowing the previous year’s drought, 5,000 farmers borrowed more than $1,- 500,000 from the federal government {to put in their crop. In addition {there were many thousands of dol- lars of credit advanced by other fi- nancial agencies and individuals on crop mortgages. “Now, everyone knows that most of , the farmers can not pay those loans {from this year's crop,” Governor Sha- ifer continued, “and that thousands of} «Continued on Page Seven) STRIKER'S AUTO IS ~ RIDDLED BY BULLETS Puzzled Police Seek to Unravel | Mystery Presented At i Taylorville Taylorville, Ill., Oct. 17.—(#)—State ; highway policemen and members of the Illinois national guard were seek- ‘ing to unravel a mystery presented ‘early Monday with the finding of an {automobile, the windshield shattered by bullets, abandoned on a state high- way south of here. The highway police said the car was | the one in which Pat Ansboury, one of the leaders of the Progressive Miners of America, rode in the funeral cor- tege of Andy Ganis Sunday. Ans- boury was not immediately found. In the car, the police reported, were found several auto storage tickets jssued by a West Frankfort, Ill, garage, and a letter addressed to Ansboury’s wife. Ansboury’s residence is at West Frankfort. The car bore no license plates. The car apparently had been driven into the ditch. As no glass was found ‘authorities theorized the shooting had taken place elsewhere. Fifty striking miners, said to have come to Taylorville from counties outside of Christian, attempted to picket Peabody Mine No. 58 Monday morning when it was re-opened with members of the United Mine Workers in the pits. The strikers were escort- ed by national guardsmen to the county line and ordered not to re- enter Christian county. Several ] N. D. Persons Are Hurt in Mishaps Fargo, N. D., Oct. 17—()—Calmer Nord, Fargo barber, lost two fingers on his left hand, and Chauncey Med- berry, Fargo Paint company employee, is in a hospital with his right hand and arm badly hurt by gun shot wounds as a result of hunting acci- dents over the week-end. Eugene Sonju, Fargo contractor, and his two sons, Wilhelm and Alvin, re- turning from hunting Sunday, went into the ditch on highway 81 south of Fargo, their car turning over once endways and twice sideways. Sonju suffered a broken shoulder bone. The boys were uninjured. At Wahpeton, Virgil Sturdevant, son of Mr. and Mrs, Charles Sturdevant, was shot through the instep Sunday while hunting.

POLICE OFFIGALS SHOOT EACH OTHER DEAD DURING RAD Federal Men Deny That They Failed to Identify Them- selves Properly Russellville, Ky., Oct, 17.—()—Fed- eral and county officers Monday sought more detailed information concerning a pistol fight which claimed the lives of a federal prohibi- tion investigator and a Logan coun!y special deputy sheriff in a Negro cabin late Saturday night. Frank A. Mather, 49, prohibition investigator working out of the Louis- ville office, and Bluch Soyars, 57, su- Perintendent of the Russellville wa- terworks and a special deputy sheriff, were the principals. At a prviate hearing before County Judge J. W. Linton, Sunday, it was decided the officers killed each other and‘that they were the only ones who fired pistols in the cabin, used by federal officers as a corral for liquor raid prisoners. Police Chief O. H. McEndree said he received a report of trouble there, and Sheriff George Russell said the shooting resulted from failure of the federal men to advise local officers of their plans or to identify themselves. At Cincinnati, William M. Wood- ruff, prohibition administrator of the sixth district, said reports to him were “our men properly identified themselves to the local officers.” He said the matter would be investigated “to determine wherein the responsi- bility lies.” County Attorney John A. Whittaker said testimony at the preliminary hearing was that the local officers entered the cabin, found several white men anid Negroes there, and ordered them not to leave. Mather started to- ward the door, Soyars ordered him to halt, they scuffled, pulled pistols and killed each other. In the confusion, eight prisoners taken in liquor raids fled, but were rounded up Sunday. IRISH STRIKE ENDS Belfast, Northern Ireland, Oct. 17. (®)—Workmen who went out on strike last week in connection with the un- employed riots went back to work Monday morning.’ \to Master of Millions Visits in Bismarck Modern Damon and Pythias Re- United as R. B. Metion Is Guest of C. B. Little LIVED HERE FROM 82 TO 87 Came to Bismarck at Sugges- tion of Alexander M’Kenzie; Recalls Old Days A modern Damon and Pythias sat Gown together in Bismarck Monday to review old times and recall old names, old faces and events of the Gays when they were young and Bis- marck was an outpost on the frontier. They were R. B. Mellon, a resident of Bismarck from 1882 to 1887 and now one of the world’s great financial leaders, and Col. C. B. Little, presi- dent of the First National bank and a builder of Bismarck and western North Dakota for 50 years. “I came out here to see my old friend, Col. Little,” Mellon told a Tribune’ reporter who Monday inter- rupted the two-man re-union at the Little home for a brief interview. “I have been wanting to do it for a long time.” Mellon and his brother, George N. Mellon, lived in Bismarck from the spring of 1882 to 1887, organizing a bank here and participating in the early development of the city. They left a lasting imprint upon the fu- ture capital of North Dakota and still own considerable land here. Alexander McKenzie, famed politi- cal leader, caused Mellon to come to Bismarck. “I met him in Duluth” Mellon said Monday, “And he painted such a glowing picture of this town out here on the end of the railroad line that I came out to see what a wonderful place it was.” Mellon liked it here and that same year met Col. Little, who had come from New Hampshire. “Both of us came out here to grow up with the country” Mellon said with a smile as he recalled the old days. Five busy years in Bismarck were terminated with the death of his brother, George, at Denver in 1887. After that unhappy event, Mellon returned to Bismarck and began the business of closing out the affairs of Mellon Brothers bank, located in a building where the Hoskins-Meyer store now stands. Paid All Depositors This job took six months and, at the end of that period, Mellon depos- ited the money due on five or six ac- counts in which he could not locate the depositors, and, returned east. He stopped off here for half a day in 1912, when passing through with his son, but this will be his first real visit] September income from this source.

Courson, convict- ed of manslaughter in the death of}last—and.detectives think a dainty- Arthur Maillefert in a prison sweat box, was at liberty today under $5,000 bond as his attorneys prepared to file motion for a new trial. The former prison official was convicted Saturday at the close of a lengthy trial. Solomon Higgin- botham, former prison guard, in- dicted jointly with Courson for mur- der in the death of Maillefert, was acquitted. Sentence has not been passed on Courson. Maillefert was found strangled to death in a tiny punitive cell at Sun- beam prison camp with a chain about his neck and the state charged the officials were responsible for the strangulation. Courson and Higgin- botham contended the prisoner, a New Jersey youth, deliberately hanged himself to avoid serving his nine-year sentence for robbery. Courson said he had not expected be convicted and hoped “for bet- ter luck in another>trial.” Mother Earth May Be 10 Billion Years Old, Dr. Albert Einstein Calculates Berlin, Oct. 17.—(P)—To add to the other troubles of Mother Earth, the old lady awoke Mon- day to hear, upon noted authority, that she may be about 7,000.000,- 000 years older than che thought she was. © The authority is Dr. Albert Ein- stein, famous scientist and math- ematician, known everywhere as the “Father of Relativity.” Dr. Einstein places the age of the earth at probably about 10,- 000,000,000 years. It can’t be proved, he said Sun- day in a lecture on “The Concep- tion of Space,” but he added that /the universe is in a state of ex- pansion which possibly has been Progressing ‘or 10,000,000,000 years and that the birthday of the earth might be linked up with the beginning of that expansion Perlod. The latest calculations of reli- able scientific authorities have Placed the earth’s age at about 3,000,000,000 years. Dr. Einstein cited the recent ob- servations of several prominent ast particularly the work of Dr. Edwin P. Hubble of Cali- chief- ly for his study of nebulae and the “red shift” in space. He explained theag observations indicated there were thousands of spiral nebulae in space speeding away from each other at a speed of 12,500 miles a second. This ex- pansion, he said, had been going on for 10,000,000,000 years and marked the birthday of INCREASE REPORTED IN BUSINESS VOLUME | OF NINTH DISTRICT | ls Smaller Than Year Ago But, Declines Are Halted, Some Gains Shown WHEAT MOVEMENT IS SLOW Estimated Cash Income of Northwest Farmers Nearly | As Large As in 1931 | Minneapolis, Oct. 17—()—The vol-| ume of business in the ninih federal | reserve district during September continued to be smaller than the vol- ume a year ago, but the declines in| many lines were not as great as the} decreases reported for earlier months: and the autumn upturn in business! in many cases was greater than the seasonal expectancy, the Minneapolis federal reserve bank reported Satur- | These are evidences that the dis- trict is slowly recovering from the effects of last year's crop failure, al- though the national business depres- sion continues to have a bad effect on the activities of the district, the report asserted. The greatest improvement in Sep- tember occurred in city department store sales. September sales were only 10 percent smaller than sales in September last year, whereas the decrease from last year’s records re- ported for August was 24 percent, and for July 28 percent. Moreover, the increase in sales from August to September was nearly twice as large as customary, the re- Port said. Smaller decreases from last year's figures than had been reported in preceding months occur- red in bank debits, country check clearings, freight carloadings, city real estate activity, flour shipments, and iron ore shipments. “The recovery from the effects of the crop failure was delayed by the tardy movement of cash grains from the farms,” th. bank reported. “The movement of wheat in particular has been slow and at the present time, 30 million bushels less wheat has/ been received at terminal markets than would ordinarily have been re- ceived up to this.time from a crop and carry-over of this year's amount.” The estimated cash income of northwestern farmers from market- ings during September was only 7 per cent smaller than income in Sep- tember last year. The income from wheat, in spite of delayed market- ings, was twice as large as last year’s The increase in income from wheat almost entirely offset the decreases in income from dairy products and hogs. Prices of all major farm prod- ucts of the northwest were lower in September than in the correspond- ing month last year, with the excep- tion of eggs. There was a strong seasonal increase in the price of eggs during September, and the average was 10 per cent higher than in Sep- tember last year. Believe Woman Shot otorious Gangster New York, Oct. 17.—()—John (the Spider) Murtha, with a record as sin- ister as his sobriquet, has fallen at! handed gungirl shot him. Since last May New York's 18,000; Policemen had been on the watch for Murtha, accused of two cold-blooded murders. They could not find him. Sunday a motorist saw a crumpled figure crawling painfully on hands and knees alongside a cemetery in Glendale, Queens. The woe-begone Person was the spider. He had been shot in four places and pushed out of @ speeding automobile to land on his head on hard pavement. “You're going to die, Spider,” said a detective at a hospital. “Why don’t you tell us who did it?” “Oh, go away and let me get it over with,” he said. Considering Murtha's love life in the underworld (they said he was a gallant of sorts) and also considering the fact that it was a .22-calibre pis- tol from which the shots were fired, detectives were led to believe a girl Gid the shooting. Gangsters are nev- er known to use that delicate type of pistol, they said. Murtha Monday lay in a hospital, where he was given a fair chance of recovery, J amestown Woman Shot Accidentally Jamestown, N. D., Oct. 17.—(>)— Mrs. R. J. Wildes, wife of a railroad Policeman, was in serious condition at @ hospital here Monday as the result of an accidental gunshot wound re- ceived Saturday night. She is the mother of two girls. Mr. and Mrs. Wildes had been dis- cussing a hunting trip shortly before the shooting, Wildes said. He heard @ shot after he went into the yard. Returning to the house he found his wife on the floor with a .32-calibre revolver clutched in her hand, a bul- let wound near the heart, Wildes said. VETERAN PUBLISHER DIES New Bedford, Mass., Oct. 17.—(7)— Benjamin H. Anthony, 69, former publisher of the New Bedford Stand- ard and for many years a director > $$$ $$$ — Will Speak Here | PEA Aceh) Ankita hee | SENATOR HUEY LONG Bismarck residents will have op- portunity to see and hear one of the most colorful figures in national Politics next Saturday night when Huey P. Long, “kingfish” and senator from Louisiana, speaks here. The meeting is scheduled to begin at 8 p. m. Long will begin at Bismarck a tour of mid-western states in behalf of the lcandidacy of Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt. He will come here with a “sound-wagon”, which is reported to be equipped with its own speech am- plifiers, and from here will take to the hustings to give his version of the Democratic story. Long first leaped into public notice while governor of Louisiana and dur- ing a spectacular career in that office made thousands of firm friends and many bitter enemies. Young, dynamic, and addicted to “pot likker,” a sort of southern soup, he established himself as the acknowl- edged leader of Louisiana politics and before his term as governor expired was elected to the senate. ‘PROPOSED MERGER OF SEMINARIES IS BEFORE CONVENTION United Lutherans Also Await Report on Inquiry Into Church Investments Philadelphia, Oct. 17.—(?)—Two controversial subjects, a proposed merger of seminaries and an inquiry into the investments of the ministe- rial pensions and relief board, occu- pied the attention of the biennial convention of the United Lutheran Church in America with the resump- tion of business sessions Monday. Delegates awaited a report advo- cating the merging of the church’s 13 seminaries in the United States and Canada into four major institu- tions, and there were indications strong opposition to the plan was de- veloping. Sectional leaders were prepared to object strenuously to elimination of seminaries in their home territories and the opposition, developing over the week-end, moved toward crystal- lization as the report came up for action. Findings of the investment com- mission, named to investigate criti- cism of the pension board’s real es- tate and mortgage holdings, are to be reported to the convention Tues- Gay after a week-end of inquiry. The attack on the investments arose during a discussion of the re- port of Peter P. Hagan of this city, treasurer of the board. Ellwood M. Rabenold, a New York lay delegate, after inspecting the report, startled the convention by asserting that “it seems that somebody has been back- ing a real estate development in Philadelphia with money of the pen- sions board.” Sunday was a day of religious de- votions for the delegates, with a mass vesper service in Convention Hall and an address by Dr. R. E. Tulloss, president of Wittenberg college, Springfield, Ohio. He urged an in- creasing emphasis on evangelism, “such as has not been felt for a hundred years,” to’ offset “religious sophistication.” U. S.

B. Smith Shows His Nerve in Turning Back Group Unarmed Montgomery, Ala., Oct. 17.—(P)—A riot in the Speigner state prison 20 miles from here was cut short Sun- day as guards sprayed convicts with gunfire, killed one and wounded 24 others while a nervy warden subdued another group with a scrub brush, One prisoner escaped. The uprising occurred during the recreation hour after Carl Singleton, 18-year-old Jefferson county convict, led 14 fellow inmates in a dash for ltberty against the west fence of the prison enclosure. Singleton fell fa- tally wounded in the first volley from the guards. Half of the 950 prisoners in the in- stitution rusNed the entrance as Singleton’s body was brought through the main gate on a stretcher. They stopped short when 24 of them were dropped by shots fired by guards. Meanwhile, the 14 who followed Singleton ran across an outer yard of the prison only to encounter gray- haired Warden A. B. Smith. He calmly shoved one hand in a pocket and told the fleeing group, “All right, boys, you can walk in with me or go in like that fellow on the ground.” Ten turned back but four contin- ued their flight. The warden’s only weapon, he said later, was a scrub brush hastily snatched from his au- tomobile and thrust in his pocket like a gun. Three of the four who fled were tracked down by bloodhounds but Reuben Pittman, 16, Montgomery county prisoner, escaped. Only one of the wounded, John Hill, a negro, was reported in critical condition. Authorities reported the situation well in hand Sunday night with all the convicts back in their cells but. @ pervading restlessness caused a heavy guard to be maintained. Alabama has an honor penal sys- tem with parole of convicts for good behavior, Christmas vacations for the honor prisoners and similar rewards. ‘RELIGIOUS REVOLT PLAN NIPPED IN BUD Mexican Police Kill Two Alleged Plotters and Confiscate Arsenal Mexico City, Oct. 171.—(P}—A plan tor a widespread religious rebellion in the state of Jalisco was nipped, po- lice said Monday, by a raid on a house at Guadalajara in which two of the alleged plotters were killed and sev- eral others escaped. The battle lasted an hour. Police said they seized a large quantity of rifles, pistols, ammunition, dynamite bombs, field equipment, a printing Press and a great deal of printed matter urging the rebellion. The state of Jalisco was the scene of much bloodshed in the irregular religious rebellions of the period from 1926 to 1929. Many thousands of lives were lost. Police said Juan Rincon Fregoso, ene of the two killed in Monday’s raid, was identified as a participant in the Los Altos rebellion that ended in 1929, His papers revealed, they said, that he was to be a general in the new rebellion. Officials of the Catholic church, meanwhile, moved with energy to discourage any uprising. A pastoral letter by Archbishop Pascual Biaz was read in all churches Sunday in which armed resistance by Catholics was de- nounced. The letter cautioned all loyal Catholics to obey the laws of the country and to avoid any move- ment that might be construed as re- sistance. Poe Pius XI, it said, would not ap- prove armed resistance, or any de- parture from peace. Reports in Catholic circles here said all bishops have been instructed by the pontiff to publish pastoral let- ters in their dioceses charging the clergy and laymen to obey all the civil ‘ Northwest Has Six had no advice & warrant for Tnsull’s detention had been forward- ed, however, and it assumed no action could be taken for at least 10 days.
