i North Dakota’s ESTABLISHED 1873 Re NORTH DAKOTA WILL CAST VOTES ON NINE INITIATED MEASURES Factions in Bitter Battle Over Proposed Three-Year Debt Holiday IS ATTACKED BY OFFICIALS Efforts Also Being Made in Be- half of Proposal on Crop Mortgages Storm center of nine proposed ini- tiated measures to be voted on by North Dakota voters at the Nov. 8 election, a proposal providing for a three-year partial moratorium on pri- vate debts and taxes has moved to the front as of major importance in the state’s political campaign. A proposed constitutional amend- ment to repeal the provision in the North Dakota constitution for state Prohibition has been pushed into the background, with other in:tiative pro- Posals, as an active campaign is wag- ed on the moratorium measure, and a proposal to permit crop mortgages. At the June primary election a five- year moratorium proposal, sponsored by the North Dakota Farmers Union, was defeated, while a proposal to out- law crop mortgages, sponsored by the same group, was adopted. Following defeat of the moratorium, the organ- ization reinitiated a three-year mor- ' atorium proposal. To fight the moratorium measure, and to support the proposal to repeal the measure outlawing crop mort- gages, the “Citizens Protective League,” with John W. Maher, Devils Lake, at its head, was formed, and has been carrying on an_ intensive campaign. The Farmers Union has furnished the chief opposition to the “protective” group. Governor George F. Shafer and State Tax Commissioner Iver Acker have vigorously denounced the mora- torium as threatening to “destroy the credit of the state” and to “paralyze local and state government.” ‘The governor also urged adoption of the measure to permit crop mortgages, declaring unless such steps are taken, the federal gove! nt may be unable to extend seed anf feed loans due in North Dakota in November. Supporters of the moratorium claim that the plight of the farmer is such that drastic action is necessary and that unless a moratorium on debts and taxes is declared thousands of farmers are threatened with losing their farms and home. Under the measure persons who are shown by court action to be able to pay their debts must meet their obligations. Corporations are excluded from ben- efits of the act. Other measures on the ballot pro- vide for reduction of salaries of state officials and employes, judges of the state supreme court, and district court; shortening of published notices of sales of real estate for delinquent taxes, abolishing the office of tax su- pervisor, and reducing fees paid news- papers for publishing legal notices and proceedings. ‘ Fair Weather in State Is General (By The Associated Press) Temperatures below the seasonal average prevailed in North Dakota Monday with generally fair weather and warmer in the extreme western part of the state forecast for Mon- day night.

SOCIAL CALL ENDS IN TRAGEDY WHEN MAN KILLS COUPLE Wisconsin Farmer Mistakes Relatives For Gunmen Seeking Vengeance Green Bay, Wis., Oct. 31—(P)—A friendly social call ended in tragedy at a farm home 12 miles from here Sunday night, when Henry Gomand, believing he was to be attacked by gunmen, opened fire on relatives, killing his cousin, John Baye, 34, fa- tally wounding Mrs, Baye and caus- ing injury to their year-old son, De- wane. Mrs. Baye died in a hospital Monday afternoon. A jest uttered by Baye as he step- ped from his car in the Gomand yard prompted the farmer to shoot. Baye had an obsession, since Saturday night a week ago, that he was to be the object of a reprisal attack by up. | At that time he refused a com- mand of holdup men to “stick ‘em up” as he was sitting in the store of Joseph Mohimont at Champion and seized a chair and attacked the rob- bers. Since then he had been sub- jected to a good deal of friendly joshing. When Baye drove into the yard, Gomand shouted, “Who's there?” Baye answered with, “Got any more chairs?” That convinced Gomand the visi- tors were gunmen, he said later. Or- dering his mother, Mrs. Elizabeth Gomand, and his brother, Ben, to the second floor, he barred the doors and grabbed a shotgun. He then took up @ position at an upstairs window and opened fire on the approaching party. Both Mr. and Mrs. Baye dropped. The child fell to the ground from the mother’s arms, but received none of the charge, although Mrs. Baye was struck in the shoulder and head. The baby's injuries were re- ceived in the fall.

The president planned to complete his New York and other speeches on his train Monday, as he has done on previous trips. He spent most of Sun- day working on them in his study at t# vwite house.

Silence Marks Interview “* 4% ae ® ---HANDS ARE * *# % ** 8 +e ee EXPRESSIVE eee ee Langer Utters Not a Word William Langer, Bismarck ate torney, played a leading part ina silent interview Monday. Langer has never before been noted for silence, but in this case he was the interviewee, yet utter- ed not a syllable. It was odd and amusing, The interviewer was a repre- sentative of The Tribune who called on the attorney with the purpose of making available to him such space in this newspaper as he might desire to state his answer to the suit filed against him in Ward county Friday by Mrs, Esther Johnson, Donnybrook widow. But if there is an answer Lan- ger failed to mention it. He said absolutely nothing. Informed by his secretary that the attorney would see him, The Tribune man stepped into the in- ner sanctum and there was greeted by Langer in a most un- usual manner, His right thumb was placed in close juxtaposition to his nose and the fingers of his right hand were waving wildly. His left thumb was touching the little finger of his right hand and the fingers of his left hand also were waving. Having extended this greeting, he reversed the position of his hands and then tried them singly. ‘Then he turned to a pile of cor- respondence on his desk and the interviewer sat down. The interview: Question: “Well, what have you got to say?” Answer: Right hand brought smartly up to nose and fingers waved in derisiorf. Bill, Remark by Interviewer: “Bill, you're funny.” oo: Left hand called into Play. Question: “Have you anything you'd like to say?” Answer: Both hands making a waving camouflage net in front of the Langerian nose. Remark by Interviewer (with rising inflection, of voice): “Well, I though* you might want to say something.” Answer—left hand, followed by tight hand—to his own nose, of course, Then both hands waving to- gether. “Well, if you haven't got anything to say there's no use in wasting your time and mine.” Answer—Left hand fingers waving Laughter on the part of the inter- viewer and a malevolent gleam from the eye of the interviewee. His right hand was holding a pen so his left hand again got the call. “Goodby, Bill. Anytime you have anything you want to say just let me know.” Answer—Both hands called into ac- tion for a parting salute as the door closed. Net result—Neither admission, de- nial or comment on anything-but an excellent demonstration of finger waving. Attorney Langer had estab- lished a record for himself. He had uttered not a word, POLICE CHIEF ASKS BOYSTOHAVE GOOD TIME, BE CAREFUL Declares That Halloween Pranks Need Not Be Dam- aging to Be Enjoyable Police Chief C. J. Martineson Mon- day laid down some simple rules which he hopes will be observed by Bismarck young people this evening, {the 31st of October on the calendar ; but Halloween to the fun-loving. Martineson’s suggestions were: 1, Have all the clean fun you can but do not destroy property. it will do you no good and will. cause some- one harm. 2. Try to be as good as the chil- dren were last year. Halloween of 1931 was just about what the occa- sion should be from a public stand+ point. 3. Parents should advise their children not to do anything which will cause harm to anyone’s person or property. The police chief said it is improb- able that any extra men would be added to the force this year, express- ing the view it is simpler and more effective to put Bismarck children on their honor. And besides, there are so many: more children than there Possibly could be policemen that the authorities do not wish to enter into @ one-sided game. Only one jarring note was con- tained in Martineson’s declaration. That was the announcement persons caught damaging property will be prosecuted. The modern occasion for the cele- bration is the feast of All Saints, a religious holiday which has come down from antiquity and which is observed by many churches. For Ro- man Catholics it is a Holy Day of Obligation, meaning that members of that church are required to hear mass the same as on Sunday. Even before any religious signifi- cance was attached to it, however, Halloween was observed in many lands. On or about Nov. 1 the ancient Druids held their great autumn fes- tival and lighted fires in honor of the sun-god in thanksgiving for the harvest. It also was believed that at this time Shaman, lord of death, called together the wicked souls that, within the last 12 months, had been condemned to inhabit the bodies of animals. In parts of Ireland Hal- loween still is known as “the vigil of Shaman” rather than the vigil of All Saints. Until recent years, the custom of lighting * Halloween fires was ob- served in the highlands of Scotland and Wales and in many sections of the world it is still believed that this is the most propitious night for evil spirits to roam abroad, taking things away from their accustomed place.

GT $35,000 FROM BANK IN MICHIGAN {Police Officer Wounded - As Heavily Armed Band of Robbers Get Away Monroe, Mich., Oct. 31—()—Six bandits held up the First National bank of Monroe Monday and escaped with between $35,000 and $40,000 after shooting a policeman in the head and arm. The officer was Wil- liam Lynch, who met the bandits as they were leaving the bank. Four or five of the bandits, armed with sub-machine guns and revolv- ers, dashed into the bank and or- dered 18 employes to lie on the floor. Meanwhile William Gutman, bank president, went to his private office and called police. The bandits forced Roy Meler, an employe, to open the vault, and gath- ered up currency. After ordering the employes not to move until they had departed, they ran toward the door. Lynch, responding to the call in plain clothes, met them at the door. They opened fire and he fell with a bullet in his head and one in his arm. i The bandits entered an automobile and, still firing at pedestrians and in the general direction of the bank, sped away just as a squad of police | arrived, Wheat Prices Fade To New Low Marks Chicago, Oct. 31.—()—The value of wheat faded away again to the lowest level in modern times Monday, the grain for delivery in December being sold at 43% cents a bushel. It was the third time in four suc- cessive market days that wheat prices sank beneath every record since med- jeval England bought its wheat with far cheaper currency at nine cents for the bushel. Monday's final prices were un- cent from the bottom point to close at 44 to 44% cents. This rebound was accredited to a decline of 1,966,000 in the estimate of the United States vis- ible supply of wheat. At Kansas City, nearer the shipping origin of wheat, the price dwindled to 38% cents, while at Winnipeg, bigs Canadian wheat, the low DEBT IS $734,860R00 Buenos Aires, Oct. 31—(#)—Argen- tina’s floating debt at the end of the fiscal year 1931 was 1,267,000,000 pesos Monday, (about $734,860,000), it was announced | Brest.

Roosevelt faced toward Maine Monday for a drive through history- splashed Massachusetts towns that will take him into the normally Re- publican state that no Democratic Presidential candidate has visited since William Jennings Bryan went there in 1896. The long drive that was to take him to Portland and back again to Boston Monday night for his only lengthy speech in New England began a two- day automobile tour of Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Maine, Rhode Island and Connecticut. The route of the Democratic candi- date led him through numerous towns, but except for a 15-minute ap- pearance in Portland, he expected :o talk in none of them. His Portland talk will be extemporaneous. The early departure from Groton, where he spent two nights and a day visiting his sons at the Groton school for boys, brought him out into a crisp morning for a drive past neat white farm houses and stone fences to Low- ell, Lawrence, Haverhill, Exeter, Do- ver, Somersworth, Berwick, Wells, and Biddeford to Portland. He was to return through Biddeford and Wells, taking a roadside lunch at some spot along the way, to Ports- mouth and Newburyport. At the lat- ter place Gov. Ely of Massachusetts expected to join the party to travel with him through Beverly, Salem, Lynn, Revere, Chelsea, Somerville and Cambridge to Boston. His stay at Groton was marked by a talk to a group of mcmbers of the Massachusetts Progressive League. He told them the solution to the present difficulties would come from men who, though they might differ in par- ties, have the same ideas of govern- ment. “I am confident that the solution of our troubles can be handled by man,” he said. “Our troubles come not from an obscure cause but from a false idea of government.” The final plans for his Boston speech were worked out during the day in which a conference with May- or James Curley of Boston played a part. He will speak at the arena at 10:30 p. m. (E.8.T.) in the same place where Alfred E. Smith a few days ago addressed an appeal to the voters of Massachusetts to support the Demo- cratic nationa) ticket.

But the disorders, which began Sun- day in Trafalgar Square, brought only a dozen minor casualties, as compared to the 70 hurt in Hyde Park last week and the 30 injured in the Lam- beth section Oct. 21.

The bobbies are prepared for more serious trouble with a relief system employed in the general strike of 1926. The plan was used Sunday for the first time since the national “hunger army” marched into London last week, Volunteers Are Called The system employs London's 12,- 000 special constables for routine po- lice work as needed, freeing hundreds of police for use in riot squads. More than 2,000 of these special patrolmen, who are volunteers serving without pay, were called to traffic duty Sun- day. These men are drawn from all so- cial ranks. They undergo training in small units at police stations the year round. The signal for Sunday's battle came from a dark-complexioned, gray-haired man whose shrill scream “smash the palace windows!” started @ rush for the king’s residence. Blocked by the police, the crowd numbering many thousands, dashed toward the government offices in Whitehall. Another stone wall of bluecoats met the onslaught. Commandeer a Taxi The ieaders of the rioters comman- deered a taxi and tried a flying wedge through the police lines with it. The officers were taken unawares, and gave back until a rush of reinforce- ments beat off the attackers. Again the crowd tried its wedge tactics, this time isolating a squad of 30 bobbies. A mounted patrol, wait- ing for just such a coup, dashed into the melee and routed the mob. Then the rioters tried window- smashing in North Cumberland ave- nue, but the main force of its drive had been broken. From then on un- til dark it was just routine clearing the streets for the police. Meanwhile, in other parts of the city, George Lansbury, head of the labor opposition in parliament was howled down at several political meet- ings. All the audiences greeted hun- ger marchers with cheers and hoots. THOUSANDS OF JOBLESS STAGE CHICAGO PARADE Chicago, Oct. 31—(?)—Filling the streets from curb to curb, thousands of unemployed marched through Chicago's Loop at noon Monday wav- ing red flags and carrying banners proclaiming their grievances. Motorcycle police cleared the streets in their van, and a stalwart Negro with arms outstretched held back the throng as it for- ward, singing and shouting. The Procession was orderly. A thousand extra police were de- tailed to guard against any disturb- ance. “Stop evictions,” one banner read, and others: “Less police, more bread”; “vote Communist, Foster and Ford”; “small home owners demand &@ moratorium”; “unemployed coun- cil—we demand unemployment in- surance”; “we demand free books, ae 5 eae and shelter,” ice, issuing the it for the demonstration, had forbidden the display of red flags, but several ap- Peared near the forefront of the line of march.
