North Dakota’s Oldest Newspaper ESTABLISHED 1873 | Special Vote Set for THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE ~ BISMARCK, NORTH DAKOTA, MONDAY, AUGUST 14, 1933 PUBLIC WORKS AND RELIEF EFFORT TO BE JOINED TO NRA Proposal Made Public After Johnson and Hopkins Talk With President EIGHT AGREEMENTS SIGNED Approval of New Trade Pacts Makes Almost 100 Indus- tries Under Code ve Washington, Aug. 14.—()—Closer coordination of the National Recovery campaign with the public works and federal relief administrations was decreed Monday as President Roose- velt set himself personally to the task of driving forward the program of economic stability. This plan for tieing the three agencies together was revealed after a conference at the white house be- tween the president, Hugh 8. Johnson, the recovery administrator, and Harry L. Hopkins, the relief administrator. ‘The recovery administration mean- time approved modified presidential Teemployment agreements for eight additional industries, permitting the employers in these groups to recieve the blue eagle by complying with the prescribed wage and hour scales. ‘These included the cigar manufac- turing, sausage casing, office equip- ment, sheet rubber and related sun- dries, cotton compress and warehouse, telephone manufacturing, yeast and retail confectioners industries. The approvals brought near to the hundred mark the number of indus- tries now operating under temporary codes of minimum wages and maxi- mum hours pending adoption of per- manent codes. Efforts of Johnson to smooth out the controversy in his consumers’ ad- visory board growing out of conflict- ing views on policy of Mrs. Mary Har- riman Rumsey, the chairman, and Prof.. William G. Ogburn, nationally known economist, apparently had fail- ed with the formal resignation of Og- burn. The expectation is that Roose- velt will approve an elaboration of the idea the administrator is ad- vancing now, as in his St. Louis speech Sunday night when he said: Says to Ask "Em “If you see a place where there is none and you do any kind of busi- ness there you have a right to ask: ‘Brother, where is your blue eagle?’ and (if the answer does not to you seem fair) to take your business elsewhere. If every person ... did that for a week there would not be @ store or a shop or factory in this whole country without its blue eagle.” NRA officials declined Monday to estimate with any claimed attempt at accuracy how far they had come toward their original goal of putting 5,000,000 unemployed back to work by Labor day. But their guesses ranged as high as 1,500,000 and as Jow as 200,000. Score upon score of codes have been submitted, five major industrial Plans approved, 40 to 50 industries authorized temporarily to substitute their own unapproved codes’ hour and pay conditions for labor provi- sions in the Roosevelt blanket code. Through temporary measures such as these NRA officials estimated fully 10,000,000 workers were or soon would be affected by the blue eagle. They explained they did not mean that 10,000,000 new workers had been or would be hired, because of what had so far been done. The recovery administration’s hope is that within, 90 days, Vareually. all basic employers will be covered their own codes, Dickinson Engineer Gets Federal Post ‘Washington, Aug. 14.-()—Approv- al by President Roosevelt Saturday of 2 long list of state engineers placed the public works administration in a Position to deal immediately with ap- Plications for funds for non-federal Projects in all parts of the country.

ROOSEVELT WATCHES SITUATION IN CUBA; SENDS SHS THERE Says Change Now Taking Place} in Accordance With Constitution, Laws Washington, Aug. 14—()—Presi- dent Roosevelt watched the Cuban situation intently Monday, still deter- mined that the cruiser Richmond and the three destroyers he had sent_to the island republic shall not intervene in domestic affairs but just protect the lives and persons of American citizens. After considerable study and with the approval of the new Cuban pres- ident; Carlos Manuel de Cespedes, Roosevelt Sunday night dispatched | two destroyers to Havana, on the north, and one to Manzanillo, on the south side of the island. The Rich- mond was ordered to Cuba Monday. The president issued the following statement: “Latest advices are to the effect that domestic disturbances, including acts of violence, are occurring in some parts of Cuba among certain elements of the population. “In these circumstances, I feel con- strained as a matter of special pre- caution and solely for the purpose of | safeguarding and protecting the lives and persons of American citizens in Cuba, to order certain vessels to in| Points on the Cuban coast. “The change of government now taking place in Cuba is in entire ac- cord with the recognized constitution | and laws of that country, and no pos- |.sible question of intervention or of the slightest interference with the internal affairs of Cuba hasarisen. It 1s intended by this precautionary step to protect, if necessary, the lives of American citizens, pending the restor- ation of normal conditions of law and order by the Cuban authorities...” Pleads Not Guilty To Gas Bomb Charge New York, Aug. 14—(#)—Eugene 8.

Plan New Hook-U URSCHEL ABDUCTION SOLVED BY ARREST OF FAMOUS BANDIT Harvey Bailey, Nabbed in Tex- as, Has Part of Money Paid For Ransom FINGER PRINTS FOUND | Federal Officers Stumble on! Criminal Wanted For Robbery and Murder Dallas, Tex., Aug. 14—(?)—Harvey Bailey, notorious outlaw and alleged machine-gun killer, was arrested Sat- urday at a farmhouse which federal agents said was the rendezvous where Charles A. Urschel, millionaire kidnap victim, was held a prisoner. The officers said they found Ur- échel’s fingerprints in profusion about the place. Bailey carried a large sum of the money identified as part of the $200,- 000 ransom paid for Urschel’s re- lease, ‘ Federal officers stumbled upon Bailey without knowing of his whereabouts. He was asleep on a cot | in the back yard of the farmhouse which had been under surveillance for several months because of mys- terious visits by strangers in large automobiles. Gus A. Jones, in charge of the San Antonio office of the department of justice, recognized Bailey from photo- graphs. No Chance to Fight Although heavily armed, Bailey did not have a chance to fight since he was under cover of ae guns when the officers aroused him. “Is ‘kee B in the house?” the of- eet asked Bailey. ” was his reply. | , if there is and shooting | starts we are going to kill you,” was! the officers’ threat. Bailey had his cot placed near an automobile loaded ready for his de- Part ure. «He was understood’ to have gone to the farmhouse late Friday night, Bailey had alongside him on the cot two pistols and a rifle. Another pistol and a machine gun-were on the farmhouse porch 10 or 15 feet away. Officers intimated Bailey's capture had not been made public until Mon- day because they had remained in ambush at the farm home expecting the arrival of Bailey’s associates, pos- |sibly Verne Miller or Wilbur Under- hill, In Prison Break Bailey was one of the five convicts jin the recent Lansing prison escape | who sent a letter to an Oklahoma jelty newspaper declaring they had robbed the Black Rock, Ark. bank for which others were under arrest. They authenticated their letter with their fingerprints, all of which proved | genuine. Although they asserted the letter was in the interest of freeing inno- jcent suspects, officers believed this bold communication was an attempt to establish an alibi in the Kansas City killings, since the Black Rock bank was robbed June 16, the day be- | |fore the Union Station shooting. | At Washington, Attorney General) | Cummings said Bailey had positively | been identified as the machine gun- ner who killed Frank Nash, a convict, and four police officers at the door of the Kansas City Union station. Bakers Praised for Restricting Advance ‘Washington, Aug. 14.—(4)—The av- erage price of a pound loaf of white | bread in 16 representative cities rose about 1.4 cents from February 15 to August 2. But in making this report Monday | through the farm adjustment admin- istration, Dr. Fred C. Howe. consum- ers’ counsel, added: “Considering the increases. in ma- terial costs, the moderateness of this advance in average price reflects the cooperative spirit with which the bakers of these cities have lived up to assurances given Secretary Wallace by the president of the American Bakers’ association that they would do their best to limit bread price advances to the increase in ingredient and other Production costs.” This compilation showed the aver- age price of the pound loaf in cities named was 7.8 cents on August 2 and that in the period studied the cost of ingredients in a pound loaf had in- creased 1.3 cents. . About half of the 1.3 cents rise in the cost of bread ingredients, the re- port continued, was due to the proces- sing tax on wheat, the remainder to higher prices for the grain and other material used in the ordinary white bread loaf. BLAME HEAT FOR WRECK The Dalles, Ore. Aug. 14—()— Heat Monday was believed responsible for a train wreck that took two lives and injured nine. ‘The accident occurred Sunday, when an 8.

Carlos Manuel de Cespedes, the new president, completed a cabinet which virtually ignored the claims of all of the old political parties, and the principal followers of the deposed president, Gerardo Machado, followed their leader's example by fleeing the island. Two of General Machado’s country estates were sacked in celebration of the victorious revolution which forced the general to abdicate and take re- fuge in the Bahamas, President de Cespedes approved the sending of the American warships. Alberto Herrera, war secretary un- «ier Machado and provisional presi- dent for a few hours Saturday, fled with his wife and sons and their fam- illes on a steamer bound for Jamaica. Strike Is Ended Monday also marked the end of the country-wide strike which for two weeks tied up commerce and industry. Those heading the list of workers re- turning to their jobs were public em- street car men, railroad workers, food distributors, garage and filling station operators, taxi drivers and beer and ice factory workers. Some downtown stores already have opened and others will be opening soon. Workers took up again lives inter- rupted two. weeks ago by a growing strike, by Machado's state of war de- cree last week, by the army’s coup d'etat Saturday, and by the overturn of the Machado regime, with a provi- sional government started Sunday. Violence Marks Induction Violence attended the induction of Dr. De Cespedes in a simple cere- mony at his home. Several unidenti- fied men fired several shots into the residence from a speeding automobile. No one was hurt there but the gun- men later wounded two soldiers. Ten violent deaths were subsequently re- Ported. Several were members of the dreaded Porra, Machado’s secret po- lice, On Saturday 21 were killed and more than 200 wounded and the total number of deaths in the revolution climbed to about 50. Disorder osccurred Sunday in Santa Clara, Camaguey, Santiago, and Manzanillo, as citizens sought to ex- tirpate reminders of the eight year Machado regime and wreaked veng- eance on persons and places they connected with the deposed president, who now is in the Bahamas. The A B C secret society suddenly demanded political recognition and thereby changed the basis of the cab- inet selection. A decidedly opposi- tionist government, and not a con- centration cabinet, was consequently produced. Liberals Are Ignored The liberal party, of which Mach- ado isea member, and the popular party were not represented. Dr. De Cespedes (pronounced Sess- pay-dess) the new president, was 62 years old Saturday. His father par- ticipated in the first revolution against Spain in 1868. Educated in Europe, he speaks six languages. In 1898 he was a colonel of the insur- rectionists, and afterwards became chief of the general staff. From 1914 until 1922 he was the minister to the United States. On his return he was named secretary of state. In 1926 he was sent to Paris as minister. Machado took to political exile in Nassau, the Bahamas, with a group of close friends. “My love is for Cuba,” he said after he arrived, tired and without baggage, at a hotel. Police guarded the plane in which he flew from Havana Saturday after- noon. Patrols were established about his hotel in Nassau, Those with him included Dr. Octavio Averhoff, form- er treasury ‘secretary, and Eugenio Molinet, former secretary of agricul- ture and labor. Machadistas Hunted Machadistas were relentlessly hunt- ed Sunday. It was estimated that a score of persons were killed in Ha- vana. One man was killed in Santi- ago. Two were wourided in Camaguey. Thirty houses and business places were sacked in Manzanillo. Three were killed in Santa Clara. The army took steps Monday, how- ever, to enforce law and order and violence waned. The students insti- tute joined other groups in urging a return to tranquillity. Students in the closed Havana university were ex- pected to issue an appeal for peace. Street car men promised to return to work at noon Monday. The United Railways were expected to send its first train in days into the interior Monday morning. Other unions, it was believed, would follow the lead quickly, and bring to a swift end the ing plan, under a ity Sereda by Attorney General Hany EH.

A., state recovery boards of nine members are being set up, with many already functioning. These, too, serve without compensation. In the N. R. A. drive, as in relief work, lesser committees and councils are being named to carry on local and county campaigns, none draw-| ing any pay. Production control committees are being organized by the agricultural adjustment administration to look after its farm relief activities. Besides all these, there are the state public works engineers, bank conservators and committees to aid them, and similar agents, including Home Loan bank managers, Recon- struction Corporation officials, and relief administrators. | Three Negroes Slain By Alabama Lynchers Tuscaloosa, Ala., Aug. 14—()—One of three negroes spirited away by a lynching party was still missing Mon- day after ‘the bodies of his two com- Panions were found riddled by bullets.

N. D., Aug. 14.—()—Dave L. Stewart, about 50, Hope chief of Police, was shot and killed here at 3:30 a. m., Monday by an unidentified Prowler who made his escape. Stewart had gone to the Texaco sta- tion operated by W. M. Bowen, at- tracted there apparently, by noise of the maurauder. As he approached he was shot twice, both times through the chest. He died within a few min- utes without giving any clue as to the identity of his murderer. State Representative C. F. Carlson, living about a block from the scene of the killing, heard shots and im- mediately called the telephone office in the village, the procedure establish- ed in case of trouble. The operator sounded the alarm for Chief of Police Stewart, who was night watchman as well. There was no response. Bowen, owner of the sta- tion, was then called. Bowen went to the station where he found Stewart unconscious and groan- ing. He died soon afterward. Stewart had been a resident of the Hope territory for three decades and had been chief of police for two years. In 1931 he was a candidate for sheriff of Steele county but was defeated.

They told of the triumphs and the awards they received from an admir- ing government and an enthusiastic Populace. And they were ready for work again. The pilots and mechanics of the giant seaplanes set out six weeks ago on @ mass flight that Premier Mus- solini Sunday told them was a “con- Secrated Fascist revolution in the skies of two continents.” Before a triumphal march like that of the ancient emperors, King Victor Emmanuel received the aviators.

MANY METHODS 10 HALT CRIME WAVE URGED AT HEARING Universal Finger-Printing and Use of Whipping Post Recommended New York, Aug. 14.—()—Universal | finger-printing, the’ whipping post, exile, tight parole laws and a sort of American Scotland Yard, were urged on a senate sub-committee Monday as methods to curb racketeering. The committee, headed by Senator Royal S. Copeland, held its first re- gional open hearing in the bar asso- ciation building with more than 200 interested spectators. Among the first speakers were Senator Copeland, Edward P. Mulrooney, former police commissioner of New York, Joseph Keenan, special assistant attorney general, and James Bolan, present po- lice commissioner of New York. Keenan urged a federal bureau to coordinate its efforts. Mulrooney ad- vocated universal finger-printing, “20 lashes with 20 years,” and federal control of fire arms. The latter also thought parole laws should be tight- ened and agreed that exile of racke- teers to an island prison “would help.” Commissioner Bolan presented a discussion of crime statistics, laying emphasis on kidnaping. “The police are not fearful that they cannot cope with the situation,” he said. “They only ask the public to as- sist them.” Bolan told the committee there was “too much red tape” to getting a wit- ness from one state to another. He believed a federal coordinating bureau would be valuable in detecting crime but warned too much outside assist- ance would be resented by local au- thorities. Moley Listens In Professor Raymond Moley, recently designated by President Roosevelt to study racketeering, sat with Mul- rooney to listen to the proceedings. Former Police Commissioner Mul- Tooney, now head of the state beer board, advocated federal control of firearms and remarked that to obtain such legislation “you'll have to get rid of the gun lobby in Washington.” In support of his plea for federal centrol, which included a central co- ordinating bureau, Mulrooney pointed out that the outstanding crimes of the present transcend state lines, also that the outstanding criminals of to- day have representatives and equip- ment in many states. Mulrooney was particularly em- Phatic on the question of universal finger-printing. “No honest man should object,” he said. The former commissioner then ad- vocated 20 lashes with each 20 year sentence. “I want you to know” he said, |“that the criminal has a large ego. “If you make the whipping public and humiliate them, you'll do much toward eliminating them.” Dickinson Man Shot By Friend on Picnic Dickinson, N.
