Repealists expressed confidence of similar results Tuesday in Maryland, Colorado and Minnesota, where elec- tions on the repeal proposal were be- ing held. Prohibitionists, disputing the ground, kept on fighting. Maine, which passed a state prohi- bition law in 1851, voted Monday about two to one for the proposed 2ist amendment, which would delete the 18th. It was the 26th state to en- ratify repeal. By a majority of more than two-to- one, exceeding the estimates even of epealist, Maine = Repealisits led easily in all of the 16 counties, ee ‘With 79 scattering precincts, most of them small, out of the state's 632 unreported, the state-wide vote stood: For Repeal, 113,827; Against, 52,077. A surprising feature of the vote was the wet strength developed in the emaller communities, a considerable majority of which voted to reject fed- eral prohibition.

Youths Sensational In Golf Tournament Kenwood Country Club, Cincinnati, Sept. 12.—()—Two players making their tournament. debut, 20-year-old Jimmy Milward, of Madison, Wis., and William R.

Register, member of the board of | education, that taxpayers may know all the facts about the proposal to is- sue $203,000 in bonds for a new high school building. A vote on the proposal will be had Thursday, with polls at the Will Ta building open from 11 a. m., to p.m Advocates of the building said that fair analysis of the tax situation, coupled with the government offer to donate $105,000 toward the $350,000 fair analysis of the tax situation, cessity within a few years, regardless of cost, comprise one of the best ag- guments for the proposal. The other is the need for work on the part of many persons. The school district has three out- standing issues of bonds, totalling $175,000. All are due between 1938 and 1942, It has purchased and holds in its sinking fund $115,000 of these bonds, including all of the $15,000 issued for the Wachter school and due in 1938; $61,000 of the $75,000 due in 1940 on the Richholt building; and $39,000 of the $85,000 due in 1942 on the Roose- velt building. Little Goes Outside The levy for sinking fund and in- terest now is $16,600, of which $2,860 goes to outside holders of the bonds and $13,740 goes into the school board’s sinking fund. On this basis and at the present levy, all outstand- ing bonds will be cancelled within five ‘years. : e The probability, however, is that the board will be able to cut down its levy building will become an absolute ne- on the taxpayer for these bonds. In this event, however, it would be nec- essary to continue the lower levy for ‘a slightly longer time. To the levy for the outstanding bonds would be added beginning in 1935, enough to raise $18,270 more for the proposed bond issue. Of this sum 150 would be used to pay off that mount on the new issue and $8,120 would pay interest charges. Because the bonds are retired serially, how- ever, the interest charge would drop $406 per year. On this basis, Bismarck citizens would have an increase in school taxes from 1935, when they would start paying for the new bonds, until 1938 or 39. For a few years after that the cost would be about the same as at Present and then would be progres- sively lower. Members of the campaign commit- tee favoring the bond issue were con- tinuing their drive Tuesday with the Central Trades and Lebor Assembly, American Legion, Association of Com- merce, local public works committee and board of education joining in the effort to get out the vote.

NYE CONFERS WITH DIVERSION CHIEFS REGARDING PLANS Senator Has Asked Secretary \ Cooperstown, N. D., Sept. 12—()— About to leave ‘for Washington, Sen- P. Nye met Sunday night and Monday with representatives of the Missouri River Diversion associa- tion to learn needs of the great water conservation project planned for the relief of drought areas in North and South Dakota. _ Conferring with Sivert W. Thomp- son, president of the association, Sen- ator Nye declared he.had spent some time on the way to Cooperstown with Thomas H. Moodie, member of the North Dakota public works board, and had informed himself of the latest developments in connection with this and other proposals for conservation of water. Senator Nye revealed he had for- warded his own personal appeal to Secretary of the Interior Ickes at Washington for special attention to the project, declaring it to be a neces- sity for large areas in this and ad- joining states. Meets Requirements Ideally Commending the association's pro- gram of educational work to inform the northwest of the nature of the project, Senator Nye declared it met ideally requirements of the admin- istration for public works which could be used to increase employment and thus relieve suffering during the coming winter. Thompson pointed out that con- truction work on the dam at Garri- son on the Missouri river and on a tunnel which will conduct impounded waters through nearby hills into head- waters of the Sheyenne and James rivers is of the type that can be car- ried on in winter as well as in sum- mer and that since construction of the dam in particular calls for use of gumbo a large percentage of the $60,- 000,000 expected to be spent will go already the president, Senator Nye was told, that; in event of acceptance of the | Number of Americans, Including “te BESIEGED IN HOTEL, OFFICERS DECLINE TO COME 10 TERMS Continue Stand That Former President de Cespedes Be Reinstated BUILDING IS UNDER GUARD Ambassador Sumner Wells, At Hostelry Havana, Sept. 12.—(?)—Defiant army officers, barricaded and be- sieged in the National hotel, resisted the new government's demands Tues- day that they come to terms ime mediately. They scoffed at an ultimatum from President Ramon Grau San Martin that they yield in 24 or 36 hours and made ready for a showdown on their stand that Former President de Ces- Pedes’ administration be reinstated. Backed by the powerful ABC and OCRR secret socigties, the erstwhile commanders, estimated from 300 to 500 in number, were armed and pre- pared for any contingency—continued siege or, as some predicted, battle. Maintain Airtight Line Soldiers who arose against them last Monday and toppled over the de Cespedes regime—which was sup- planted first by a revolutionary jun- ta and, on Sunday, by Grau San Martin—kept an airtight line about the building. Captain Mario Torres Menier, fore mer head of the aviation corps, was one who saw trouble and possible bloodshed ahead. “This can’t go on,” he said. “We've got to do something, even if it means fight.” Excitement at the hotel ran high when all employes walked out, fear- ing bodily harm if they continued to serve the officers. The officers met the contingency themselves by manning the telephones switchboard and elevators. Officers sald their food supply would last two days. ‘Their supplies of ammunition in« creased, mysteriously, during the night.

Meanwhile talk of another revolu« tion was heard. A high official of the OCRR said his organization and the ABC control the Havana police, numbering about 2,000, which belatedly joined the army movement against de Cespedes. Officers in the National hotel claimed confidently they could count on at least 3,000 of the 10,000-odd Soldiers who rebelled against them # week ago. Believing Colonel Fulgencio Ba- tista, promoted from a top sergeancy after he led last Monday’s revolt, can hold the army behind him, the ad- ministration prepared to go about its work.
