4 THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE. FRIDAY, JANUARY 5, 1934 CONFESSED ROBBER Farmers in Kansas ADMITS HIS PART IN WAHPETON CASE Tells Lanier He Helped Steal 10 Machine Guns From Na- tional Guardsmen fargo, N.D., Jan. §.—(}—Cyrus » arrested in Minneapolis in several fessed to;participation in the raid on the Nattonal Guard Armory at Wah- peton, N. D., it was announced in Fargo late Thursday by P. W. Lanier, United States district attorney. * With two others—Joe De Arment, one-time Wahpeton boxer, and May- uard (Doc) Husted of Sisseton, 8, D., ‘who previously admitted part in the theft, Wooldridge will be taken into Jederal court here Friday to plead to @ conspiracy charge. ‘Ten machine guns and smaller arms,.belleved sold for use in bank robberies, were taken from the Wah- peton Armory. Lanier said he would seek senten- cing of the trio for conspiracy to steal Yederal property, the conspiracy charge having been issued when of- ficlals did not know all members in- ‘volved in the theft. A maximum of two years in the; federal penitentiary is possible under | ‘the conspiracy charges. Lanier said it is possible Wooldridge vill be taken from the penitentiary for trial in Minnesota on the bank robbery counts, and that, if convicted he will be turned over to Minnesota nfficials when he has completed his federal sentence. ‘Wooldridge was brought to Fargo from Minneapolis Thursday. De Ar- ment and Hustad have been held in the county jail here for several weeks. FEAR OF POSSIBLE MOB ACTION HALTS MARYLAND JUSTICE Detectives Delay Arresting Mur- der Suspect Until Situa- tion Clears Crisfield, Md. Jan. 5—(?)—Th ‘threat of “possible mob action” Fri day caused authorities, investgating|; the murder of an aged Marion Station woman on New Year's eve, to delay! the apprehension of any suspect in the case. ' A formal statement, issued by two Baltimore detectives cooperating with Somerset county officials in the probe, indicated a Negro was wanted 4 in connection with the slaying of Mrs. -“% Margaret Brumbley, whose body was [Poa ene mneneneemtemenn Ae ene RE ER ON Ramee oe Pee reese ry found on her bed early Monday. “Due to information received tnrough authorities of possible mob action,” the statement of the detec- to postpone our activities until we re+ ceive advice from higher authorities.’ ‘The detectives, Sergt.

While Sergeant Martin refused to say who were meant by “higher authorities,” they were understood to include the sheriff, state's attorney and circuit vourt judge. Mrs, Brumbley, an 85-year-old farn: ‘The intimation of mob action at received with expressions of surprise ay Gov. Albert C. Ritchie at Annap- olis and Charles H.

Farmers Reported a Bit Skeptical About Farm Program SEE ENCOURAGING SIGNS Rise in Hog and Cattle Prices Is Anticipated Early in February ‘This is another of 11 articles on “America Under the Blue Eagle.” BY WILLIS THORNTON Kansas City, Jan. 5—Out here on the broad fertile plains of Kansas and’ Missouri, people may be pardoned just a trace of skepticism about the farm program. Kansans have seen control schemes come and go, and Missourians still say, “You've got to show me!” For fortunes here are staked on a week of rain or a spell of drought, and this great city draws its life- blood in grain and livestock, cotton and oil, from the entire southwest. | Hence the bitterest pill this sec- tion has had to swallow is the lame! table state of the livestock industry. You hear stories of trainloads of stock coming in here and selling at prices that did not pay the freight. | Commission men tell me that such cases, if true, must have been excep- tionally old and poor cattle. Prices Lowest in Years | Nevertheless, a farmer is netting 2.75 cents a pound for hogs which used to be as high as 22 cents, and heavy cattle, fed for a year, have been bringing 4 cents a pound, the lowest price in 30 years. Poor-grade cattle actually have sold here below a cent ® pound. | And the greatest irony of all | is this: The farmer himself is being made to pay the pork pro- cessing tax, which was supposed to have been paid by the con- sumer! Not in cash, but in low- ered prices. | Here's how that came about: Pack- ers say people will pay only so much for pork, and that if it goes above a certain price, they simply stop buying it and eat other foods instead. ‘Therefore, when the processing tax of a cent a pound was assess- ed, the packers, who had no in- tention of paying it themselves, simply cut it off the price they paid the farmer, and new lows in farmers’ hog prices were reached. And there are higher processing taxes to come! It's Not Hopeless So the southwest’s livestock raisers | may be pardoned a little skepticism. But it is not a hopeless skepticism. Despite this shattered market, the American Royal Stock Show here at- tracted 50,000 more stockmen than it as far away as Canada. J.C. Swift, who was president of the Royal, expressed some hope of the Pig-killing program. “We hope that it will begin to have some effect by February, when the slaughtered pigs would have begun coming on the market,” says Swift. “That should mean fewer receipts and higher hog prices at that time. “But to my mind it is absurd to try to put a surplus-producing nation on a@ self-contained basis. A way must be found to get exports again, Must Trade Shrewdly “Some good may come from Russian recognition, but we will have to get a little shrewder in international trading, like the Yankees used to be in the old ever did before, and had exhibits from j and Missouri Irked By | Prices on Stock | clipper days, when we asked favors of none, and yet spread our trade around the world.” But despite all this grief in one of their main industries, Kansas and Missouri farmers are nowhere near as even of Iowa. Tt ts estimated, for instance, that in Missouri a third of all farms are jowned clear, a third are mortgaged only lightly, and most of the others are not greatly below their mortgage value. Even in such cases there is hope. For A. G. Bryant, chairman of the Central Farm Rellef Association, whose members are “unwilling” own- ers of vast tracts of foreclosed Kan- sas and Missouri land, says prices of farm land are already from 10 to 25 per cent higher than a year ago. Mortgage Bill Falls Short The farm mortgage bill is regarded out this way as a flat failure. The Federal Land Banks were not equip- ped to handle the thousands of ap- plicants. Restrictions on loans were so tight |that many were rejected, and this! caused more ill feeling than if there had been no program at all. Recent- ly, more liberal appraisals and the getting in mesh of the farm machin- jery have eased this situation some- i what. You repeatedly hear farmers say \that if they can refinance their debts on a long-term and low-interest basis instead of the 6 per cent mortgage and 12 per cent chattel loan money they used to get, they will be all {right without any further federal tin- kering with the processes of nature. The wheat allotment checks are just beginning to come in, and it seems fairly certain that more of this money will go for payment of debts and taxes than in the north- west. | In the first place, most of the checks are larger. At Independence, Mo., the checks arrived just at tax time, and many were endoresd over intact for taxes. ‘When a meeting was held in Des Moines to announce details of the |corn-hog program, 3,000 farmers mill- ed around the hotel, trying to get |into the meeting. It had to be moved ‘to the Coliseum, and once inside there were 200 farmers on their feet at once trying to ask questions. A definite impression was left by some of the speakers that if the rats ate the unsold corn stored in cribs {on the farm, or if it were stolen or ‘burned, that would be just too bad, course, in storage, it hangs over the market just like the farm board wheat used to do, Roosevelt Still Popular It is hard to find any dimming of the personal popularity of President jberate Wallace as having “turned conservative on them,” while the con- servatives sigh with relief and say Wallace “didn’t turn out to be as wild as they feared.” Naturally enough, sound money sentiment in the sense of the old- fashioned counting house banker , Goes not exist here. The Cham- | ber of Commerce passed a mild resolution that they “would like 40 get back on sound money when and on whatever basis seems desir- able.” This apparent heresy in such 8 circle is explained by a banker Total number of complaints to the compliance board was about 600, many trivial or due to misunderstand- ling, and there were only about 20 Tequests for exceptions.

A cross-section sur- vey shows that payrolls here al- ready have returned to the July figures of 62.5 per cent of 1928 and employment to 77.6 per cent, recovering all the ground lost since the “boom” of early sum- mer. 1 Charles L. King, head of compliance work here, says there has been prac- tically no chiseling except by the fel- low who was a shyster even before NRA. Halt Farm Strike The farm strike made Httle head- way except in Towa, Nebraska, and parts of Minnesota. In this section the farmers themselves stopped the strike, I believe the attitude was well typified by one farmer, who analyzed it this way: “Every time there is a farm strike, prices go down instead of up. It just advertises the surplus, and your wheat doesn’t stop grow- ing, your hens don’t stop laying, nor your cows eating. There is nothing in it except maybe the advertising. “When I get ready to go out on the road and beat people on the head with a club or & rock, it won't be other farmers.” Flames Destroy Junk Building in Bismarck Fire razed a long frame structure and its contents, including rabbit hides, baled paper and other Junk, at |'743 Front avenue late Thursday night | 9 and Friday morning. ‘The flames had made good headway ‘before the fire department was called, according to Fire Chief Harry A Thompson, and firemen were unable to bring the blaze under control des- pite two hours of effort. The firefighters returned Friday forenoon to shoot water streams on paper bales which still were smould- ering. ‘The building was owned by Charles Rigler, manager of the Bismarck Hide and Fur company. The alarm was sounded at 11:45 o'clock. Firemen were called earlier Thurs- day, at 5:45 p. m, to 307 Front St. where a fire, starting from a gasoline stove, caused minor damage, accord- ing to the fire chief. : Charge Sabotage in Fall of Big Plane Washington, Jan. 5.—(P)—A justice department report, belleved to contain an opinion that @ bomb placed with muderous intent was responsible for the death of seven persons in an air- plane crash near Chesterton, Indiana, | Friday was given study by federal of- ficials. ‘Whether federal action will be forth- coming was not immediately disclosed. ¢ ( Se 7 Weather Report | FORECAST For Bismarck and vicinity: Un- settled tonight and Saturday; warmer tonight.
