Blocked at Entrance First to attempt delivery of the sales tax petitions were Senator Sim- onson, who directed their circulation, and James P, Curran, Watford City and Bismarck, who was clerk of the house of representatives at the last legislative session. They were refused admittance, be- ing informed that no packages could be taken into the secretary of state's office. They were permitted, however, to talk to Byrne without taking the package with them. Next they went to the postoffice, in company with State Senator W. Matthael, a representative of the As- sociated Press and a Bismarck Trib- une man, who happened to notice the disturbance. There the petitions were packaged, Assistant Postmaster Harry Larson told what they were, and placed in the mail by him. The package was registered and sent special delivery, Gordon Meyers, special delivery man taking it to the door of the secretary of state's office. There he was stop- ped by the guards and eventually re- turned to the office. A short time later Brocopp came to | tne office of the postmaster’ and he and Sather hada discussion. At about 4:50 p. m, Sather and Larson took the package and went to the secretary of state's office, where they were again stopped by the guards. Sather took the names of the men on the detail who refused to per- mit him to pass. H, F. O'Hare, whose law office is in the same building and on the same floor as Byrne’s said he was having no trouble getting in or out and that the’ order apparently did not apply to persons not connected with the secretary of state's office. Under Misapprehension State Treasurer Alfred S. Dale found guards posted at his doors early in the afternoon with instructions not to let anyone out. Employes, but not others, were permitted to enter, he said, but once there had to remain. Dale said he thought those directing the military were under the impres- sion that he had some of the peti- tions for a sales-tax referendum in his office and that the guards were Placed there to prevent them from being taken out. When District Judge Fred Janson- fus and his court reporter, Clifford Jansonius, entered their office in the Burleigh county courthouse Thursday afternoon they found two National Guardsmen stationed at the door. They were informed that they could enter but that no one else could enter. The judge and reporter were given permission to leave the office henerer they desired, the reporter Bismarck station barometer, inches: | sai 28.17, Reduced to sea level, 29.91.

It is Joe Benedeto’s place, out Broadway between 213th and 214th street. ’ To be a farmer on Manhat- tan—and on Broadway, at that! —does not impress Benedeto, nor Mrs. Benedeto nor their nine children. “Yeah,” he said, “we are the last farmers on Manhattan. So what?” “Work,” he continued. “Work and starve, don’t bother me. I can’t waste time talking. His back bent and his hoe cut angrily into the reluctant soil. Mrs. Benedeto mirrored her husband's apathy toward the last farmer on the most crowded island in the world. “The people over there—,” she waved her hand in the direc- tion of the towering apartment houses that stare haughtily down on the Benedeto acres, “They have to go up on the roofs and lie in chairs to get sunburned. We get sunburned, too. All day long, working in the sun. “They have to go to the trouble of telephoning the market for vegetables. We get fresh vege- tables—bending our backs from morning 'til night. They have to go to theatres and concerts and to the beaches. They read and look: at pictures in the museum. What @ bother! Nothing like that for us! We are the last of the Man- hattan farmers.” Her tone was bitter and tired; and she slammed the door. unique distinction of being the from page one’ Construction Work Is Resumed Friday With New Pay Rate George W.
