2 THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE TUESDAY, AUGUST 15, 1988 Ses B Crime Ring Shattered As Federal Men Make Arrests @ederal law which provides for a life ®entence. Federal officials withheld the names of those charged. In St. Paul, Werner Hanni, chief of the federal bureau of investigation, gaid that Sam J. Kronick, Charles ‘Wolk, William Nelson and Sam Koz- berg, under arrest there, will be charged with conspiracy in the Ur- schel case. Four Held With Bailey Four of five persons arrested with | Bailey were held. They were Mr. and Mrs. R. G. Shannon, a son, Armond and his wife, Mrs. Oleta Shannon. The fifth person, Earl Brown, was released. At Washington, William Stanley, assistant to the attorney general, putting before the nation the facts of the government's decisive, smashing cleanup of the Urschel kidnaping and the Kansas City massacre, pointed out that the Urschel case was the first in which the victim's family had noti- fied the federal government. He said three confessions to the Urschel ab- duction had come from among those under arrest. Attorney General Cummings ex- pressed belief that Bailey, an escaped Kansas penitentiary convict, was the leader of one of the country’s most dangerous criminal gangs. Worked Machine Gun Cummings and Bailey had been identified as an operator of a machine gun in the slayings at Kansas City. ‘The slaughter resulted when gang- sters attempted to free Frank Nash, fugitive convict, while he was being returned to prison, only to kill him accidentally in the hail of bullets that mowed dawn four officers, including an agent of the department ofpjustice. Bailey, taken at a lonely farm cabin near Paradise, in North Texas, and the four others arrested there, were being held for probable early return to Oklahoma City. Urschel went with the federal ‘agents to the lonely cabin and there identified it thoroughly. Stanley emphasized particularly the fact the justice department had been enabled to move so swiftly and secure- ly in the Urschel kidnaping because it had quick information. “This, I believe, proves that when the law enforcement authorities re- ceive the cooperation of the families in such cases, together with the very excellent cooperation of the local au- thorities, which was extended in this Particular case, real results can be ob- tained.” ‘TWIN CITY MEN HELD UNDER $50,000 BOND St. Paul, Minn., Aug. 15.—()—Fail- ‘ure to obtain bail of $50,000 each held four Twin Cities men in jail here ‘Tuesday following their pleas of not guilty to charges of conspiracy in the kidnaping of Charles F. Urschel, wealthy Oklahoma City resident. ‘The charges, made at Oklahoma City, were filed Monday against Sam J. Kronick, Charles Wolk, and Wil- liam Nelson, all of Minneapolis, and Sam Kozberg, St. Paul. All except Kozberg had been held a week with- out charge. He surrendered Monday. A U. 8S. commissioner fixed their bail at the high figure when they ‘were arraigned on fugitive warrants. August 24 was set as the date for hearing on the issue of their removal to Oklahoma, Federal agents said that $2,000 or more of the nearly $200,000 paid as ransom for Urschel’s release after he was kidnaped July 22 had been traced to the men. The officers were told the money came to the Twin Cities in ® liquor deal. UTMOST SECRECY TO CLOAK FEDERAL PROBE Oklahoma City, Aug. 15.—(P)—The utmost secrecy will cloak future move- ments of federal operatives in bring- ing the Charles F. Urschel kidnaping gang to justice, it was indicated Tues- day. Recalling the attempt to deliver Frank Nash that resulted in the wholesale killing of the prisoner and four officers on the Kansas City Un- don station Plaza last June 17, officers here gave no indication of when Har- vey Bailey and others held in several cities would be brought to Oklahoma, foe trial. ley is accused of having a 4n the Kansas City massacres Several of his pals, notably Wilbur Underhill and Bob Grady, with whom he es- caped from the Kansas penitentiary st Lansing last Memorial day, still are at large.

Had these men been given their way about the matter the law legalizing the sale of beer would not have been submitted to the people in the November election. The beer peti- tions were good for only 120 days after being filed and as the petitions were filed on June 23rd, they would auto- matically outlaw on Oct. 23. The Purpose, then of this last move, must have been to defeat the beer bill, and it was initiated and started by some of the very men who voted unani- mously in the Bismarck convention to stick to the legalizing of beer and nothing else. Fortunately for those who wish to vote on the question of legalizing beer, this move was plain- ly diagnosed and was presented to the governor, resulting in the call for a Special election for Sept. 22, 1933. Would Be Severe Blow “While I always have been willing to work for the repeal of the 18th amendment by passing the 2ist amendment, I am not willing to have every liquor law wiped off the statutes of North Dakota. The 18th amend- ment will be repealed and that will all be done before North Dakota could have, under any circumstances, except @ special session of the legislature, time comes to permit the handling of hard liquor in North Dakota, I am sure that the thinking wets will not be willing to turn hard liquor loose without proper safeguards. Yet that is exactly what the petitions now be- ing circulated mean. It means the wiping out of all laws before any substitute law is put in its place. In my judgment a move of that kind will be a severe blow to the friends of the repeal of the 18th amendment. I do not believe the leading wets will eyer, for a moment, tolerate the sale of hard liquor in North Dakota unless it is sold under proper restrictions Provided by law. “Anyway, the election to decide the question of legalizing beer will soon be on, and I am confident that the measure will carry by 50,000 majority. Those who assert that beer will cost more under the law than it does un- der the present boot-leg system, should know that such a statement is untrue. In many places in the state beer is selling for 20 cents per pint, whereas, under the beer bill it can be sold for 15 cents at the outside figure, and even less than that. The profits now going to the beer-runner, who takes the chance, will be eliminated. The state and municipalities will benefit instead of the beer-runner. Under the new beer law beer at five cents per glass should be possible. Un- der this law breweries can be estab- lished in the state and in that event no one will have to worry about pay- ing too much for beer. Sensible Thing to Do “The question now is, do the people of North Dakota want to legalize what is already going on ‘unlawfully’ every- where and by so doing take the prof- its away from the beer-hauler and fil-by-night sellers and give that money to the state and municipalities, and at the same time cut down the Price to the public. It is the sen- sible thing to do. Then, too, the use of beer already has demonstrated that the ‘alcohol’ dealer is gradually go- ing out of business. Drunkenness has been reduced in the principal cities of North Dakota fully 50 per cent @ law fully regulating the handling of beer. For these reasons I predict that the beer bill will pass by the major- ity stated. “A. J. SUNDFOR, Pres. Association for Legalizing Sale of Beer.

Merchants Signing Up “Merchants are fast signing up to the president’s agreement,” Powell said. “Postmasters were instructed to deliver the president's agreement blanks to those only who employed more than two persons, and, he said, this. was protested as being discrimin- ation against small dealers. Now all merchants may sign up and are being urged to do so.” Powell released a message from the secretary of the National association of retail grocers quoting the deputy administrator's office as saying “Sun- day shall be considered a legal holi- day according to the terms of presi- dent's reemployment agreement.” The national secretary said he had re- quested a definite ruling on store operating hours and meantime urged “all usual operating hours be main- tained.” This means, Powell said, that Sat- urday shall be @ 10-hour work day for employes in the retail food industry. The work week, however must not ex- ceed 48 hours. juotes Grocery Code ba Pr. Powell quoted from the grocery code, accepted by the president, as saying “the maximum hours of labor| shall be 48 hours per week and no one shall be employed more than 8 hours in any 24 hour period, excepting on the day preceding a legal holiday and on an additional 12 days (when the maximum hours in any one day shall not exceed 10 hours) in any six months.” In the code of the dry goods, shoe retailers, furniture, hardware, and clothiers, Powell quoted: “On and after the effective date of this code no individual or organization selling at retail shall work any employee more than 40 hours per week, except- ing at Christmas, inventory and other peak periods employes may work 48 hours per week for a maximum of not to exceed three weeks in each six months.” ; Following acceptance of retail codes by the president, the association will call for town and county meetings to review the codes, and for agreements for uniform opening and closing hours, Powell said. ‘|| Weather Report RECAST For Bismarck and vicinity: Prob- ably thundershowers this afternoon or tonight; Wed- nesday generally fair and cooler. showers east and south portions this afternoon or to- night; slightly warmer extreme southeast, cooler extreme west to- THUNDERSTORMS Right; Wednesday For South Dakota: Gel fair tonight and Wednesday, except possi- bly atest aunt ea : ht) mo ate ternoon or to1 east portion; cool- 3 ae, and west portion to- for Minnesota: Probably scattered thunder showers tonight or Wednes- day; sey warmer tonight; cooler Wednesday in west portion.
