P.) Berlin, July 14—()—More firing squads and miore “purging by blood” await any who challenge Adolf Hit- ler’s rule of Germany. This was the warning Germany pon- dered Saturday as it digested the chancellor's reichstag defense Friday night of the June 30 “liquidation” of ‘TT traitors, “Everyone is to know for all future time,” he said, “that if he raises his hand for attack against the state, certain death will be his lot.” ‘The speech, to which many parts of the world (including America) listen- ed, stood as a definite marker on Hit- ler’s road to the building of a new Hundreds of Nazis rose and cheered when the address—an explanation of the execution of storm troop leaders and others June 30—was ended. The chancellor scarcely noticed them. He slumped into his chair, and seemed dazed and somewhat bewildered, His head fell, almost to his knees. ‘The address was Hitler's answer to those who criticized the “liquidation” of “traitors.” It was his defiance of his foes and his appeal for continued and renewed “blind obedience,” to his authority. Speech Called Unconvincing Opinion is divided among foreign observers as to what extent the chan- cellor succeeded in his purpose. Many hold that Hitler is now fensive, in contrast to during the early months of his chan- cellorship. These observers call the speech one of the least convincing of any Hitler has made. Most of Germany's burning prob- Jems were left untouched in Hitler's hour and 46 minutes of oratary. Fi- nances and foreign policy were un- mentioned. The chancellor, however, defiance to any foreign power that seeks to express their criticism by boycotts. Hitler said that in the face of boycotts Germany would make .her- self “independent” THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE BISMARCK, NORTH DAKOTA, SATURDAY, JULY 14, 1934 Ask Speed in : COAST CITIES, FACED |Little Abuse Seen Water Shipped 100 Miles in lowa Water shipped in railway tank cars supplies Creston, Ia., city of 8500, since the two lakes which have provided water for years went dry in the record drouth.

July 14—()— Eight of nine persons who were forced to jump into the St. Croix river Friday night when a 30-foot launch caught fire after the motor exploded ‘were rescued while the ninth, the host of the party, was drowned. Tossed into the water by the force of the explosion, Joseph Bergman, St. Paul restaurant proprietor, appar- ently drowned. He was entertaining members of the kittenball team, of which he was manager. Hero of the blast was C. E. Eng- man, who, with Bergman, owned the open launch, The party was en route to a swim- ming beach when the motor of the launch exploded. The gaoline caught fire and flames immediately sprung up in the back part of the craft. Engman rushed through the flames to the front of the iaunch, where the life preservers were stored. His hands were severely burned. Engman brought life preservers to those who could not swim and, after equipping them with the preservers, put them into the water. Engman, an excellent swimmer, grabbed one of the youths, jumped into the water and carried him to safety. Emmet McLeer, who has a boat- pee anes went to the aid of 1 ahd found four men still in water when he reached the launch. He assisted. them to shore. The detonation following the explo- sion was so loud that it was heard by residents in Stillwater, three miles away. The launch burned to the water's edge. The remnant was pulled ashore. Engman went to St. Paul to have his hands bandaged following his herole work and then returned to the scene of the tragedy to assist in the search for Bergman's body.

Fears that it would result in much dodging of debts are being allayed, they say. They point to mechanism provided in the law: Steps to be taken by distressed farmers were outlined as follows: 1. Before seeking bankruptcy the farmer must try to work out an equit- ‘able extension agreement for liquida- tion of his debts and for his financial recovery. Conciliation commissioners appointed in each county by bank- Tuptcy court would handle this step. 2. If 51 per cent of the number and amount of his creditors do not agree to this arrangement or if the farmer is dissatisfied with it he may ask the court to declare him a bank- Tupt. Before the bankruptcy step can be taken, the court must find that @ fair valuation of the farmer's prop- erty is less than his total indebted- ness or that he is unable to meet his debts as they fall due. 4. If such is found to be the case the farmer would be declared a bank- rupt and his property would be ap- braised at its fair existing value by three disinterested individuals ap- 2 pak the onal Dest value would necessarily the market ‘Value. “Homesteads and other exempt under state laws would be sec aside and any indebtedness against it would be scaled down to the ap- Praised value. 5. Title to all other property would then be taken into custody of the court and administered by it. The farmer would be allowed to remain on his farm and to repurchase it within six years. 6. Terms of the repurchasing would be: one per cent interest on the appraised price the first year; 2% per cent the second year; an additional 2% per cent the fourth year; the same amount the fifth year, and the balance (85 per cent if minimum Payments were made previously) be- fore the end of the sixth year. In addition he would pay 1 per cent in- erest continuously on the unpaid balance and pay all taxes. Other obligations might be imposed by the court.

CLUES LACKING IN SEARCH FOR BABY Authorities Lean to Kidnaping Theory; Peddlers Cleared Of Suspicion Hartsdale, N. Y., July 14—(@)— Two major clues to the disappearance of Bobby Connor crumbled Saturday 88 @ woman driver and a man ped- dler were cleared of suspicion. United States authorities, state and local police, cooperating in the in- vestigation, said they were utterly baffled—knew not, even, if the case was one of kidnaping. On the belief, however, that Bobby would have been found by the army of searchers if he had wandered away when he disappeared about din- ner time, Thursday, the authorities said they leaned to the kidnaping theory. Other possible theories advanced— but only possibilities—were that the blonde baby had an Te by @ degenerate, struck and spi away by an automobile driver, or carried off by @ motherless woman. A woman canvasser, sought after a neighbor told police he saw her driv- the time of the disappearance, was found in another Westchester county community Friday night and exoner- ated after questioning. A man peddler, answering the de- scription of the eccentric who can- vassed Hartsdale Thursday afternoon, was picked up by Seabright, N. J., police but Friday night he, too, was Teleased. Black Says NRA Not Necessary for Loans Washington, July 14.—(®)—Blue SESSION CONVENING DEPENDS ON RESULT OF OUSTER ACTION Air of Uncertainty Prevails Pending Final Disposition By Court OLSON WOULD REVOKE CALL Fuller Asserts ‘De Facto’ Gove ernment Is Purpose of Langer Plan On the decision of the state su Preme court in ouster proceedings against pending against William Langer hangs the question of whether the special session of the North Da- kota legislature will be convened. An air of uncertainty prevailed in Bismarck as the court had under ade visement the action brought by Lieu- tenant Governor Ole H. Olson to oust Langer. Olson, through his counsel, an- nounced in the hearing before the court Friday he will revoke the spe- Cial session proclamation if the court finds in his favor before the assem- blies convene next Thursday. In the meantime, the new capitol building was active with preparations for the special session. Improvised desks were being installed in the un- finished assemblies along with fold- ing chairs from the highway depart- ment. The court has given attorneys in the case until Monday noon to submit additional briefs, giving rise to spe- culation that a decision of the court on whether Langer is qualified to serve as governor will not come, at the soonest, until almost the hour of the meeting of the legislative assem- blies. “De Facto’ Setup Is Aim Oral arguments were completed be- |fore the court late Friday, ending with the sensational charge by H. G. Puller, attorney for Olson, that Langer Plans to-set-up a “de facto” state government by force, through the use of the North Dakota national guard, if the court disqualifies him from holding office. Fuller's request that the court hand down its decision by Saturday morn- ing to give Olson sufficient time to revoke the special session proclama- tion was ignored by the court. After Fuller had completed his argument, the court allowed the addi- tional time for filing briefs, thereby indicating it was willing to wait un- til Monday to complete the case, and then go into its deliberation. In a rapid speech, striking through attempted interruptions by the court, Pulier cast his claims like a bombshell into what had been a quiet hearing of legal argument. His assertions were made a few moments after Fran- cis Murphy, Fargo, counsel for Lang- er had rested his arguments, follow- ing a request for permission to file briefs giving his contentions of law in more detail. Puller arose and asked “I should like to resepctfully request that your honor withhold decision on counsel's request for additional time to submit briefs.”. The court acceded. Murphy had asked for no particular amount of time. With completion of arguments on behalf of Langer by J. A. Heder, as- sistant attorney general, Puller ex- Plained to the court: “On behalf of the plaintiffs in this action—Lieutenant Governor Olson and W. E. Stitzel—we waive argu- ments and ask that the case be sub- mitted—that the book be closed. It ought to be closed, for reasons which T will discuss. Facts Outside the Law “I respectfully beg the court’s in- dulgence, while I explain some facts outside the law which have a bearing on this case. “Despite political intrigue, I have carried all the expenses of this litiga- tion, as a service to the tens of thous- ands whom we represent in this ac- tion. “I now ask the court to enter judg- ment in this case by 10 a. m., Saturday, He pointed out that the law, which authorized the reserve banks to make about $280,000,000 of five-year loans, did not mention NRA. Congress stipulated that the loans businesses.
