Two men, shot and critically wounded by Rhode Island National Guardsmen on strike duty at the Sayles Finishing company as a crowd of nearly 2,000 pickets and strike sympathizers rushed the state troops, were added to the casualties Wednes- day afternoon. The shooting occurred when & crowd of 2,000 made a rush for 15 Na- tional Guardsmen in the Moshassuck cemetery, for three days the scene of violent clashes ‘between police or troopers guarding the plant and strike sympathizers. Crowd Defies Guardsmen ‘The guardsmen ordered the crowd ‘back, but it continued to advance. They hurled gas bombs, but still the crowd came on. Warning shots were fired and then, as the crowd con- tinued to advance, the guardsmen fir- ed. One guardsman was struck on the head and apparently knocked down by:a thrown rock. He had to be help- ed from the scene and giverr first aid.} Police in Woonsocket, R. I., used tear gas to disperse a crowd of 2,000 gathered in front of a mill there. Guardsmen established all night pa- trols in Bristol, R. I. to prevent threatened mass picketing at one plant. Governor Green's call for all the National Guardsmen in the state to report for strike duty was answered by 2,000 troopers. The strike scene in other states had ‘an ominous look. National guards- men stood watch over mills in Maine, Connecticut and Mississippi. Three additional units converged on Gas- tonia, N. C., bringing to 1,700 the! state’s total number of guardsmen on duty.

MASS MEETING OF “CHTMZENS CALLED | TO TALK POLITICS Announced Intention Is to Halt Racketeering and Protect State Courts Call for a mass meeting of Bur- leigh county citizens, to be held Thursday night at the World War Memorial building for the purpose of discussing what to do about “rack- eteering” in state government and how to protect the independence of North Dakota’s court system, was is- sued Wednesday by a committee of local citizens, including Governor O. H. Olson and P. E. Byrne. Promoting the idea are representa- tives of elements opposed to the Langer political machine and it is expected that out of the gathering will come a definite plan for advanc- ing the interests of the Democratic ticket, opposing the Langerites, in the approaching elegtion. Attending the meeting will be lead- ers of the Democratic party in Bur- leigh county, who have voiced ap- of the move fh the belief that @ coalition organization will be the most effective means of getting anti- Langer votes to the polls. It was hinted that, in the event the mass gathering of persons from all parties desires it, the management of the campaign in Burleigh county would be placed in its hands, Attending also will be persons inter- ested in the fight to keep the supreme court free from political domination. Although these candidates appear on the no-party ballot, it was pointed-out that a political fight is being made on Justice W. L. Nuessle and A. G. Burr, seeking re-election, and on James Morris, their running mate. Volunteers already have started work on @ campaign for Morris and the two incumbents and they, too, are expected to attend the mass meet- ed | ing. The committee which called the|room meeting stressed that persons of all political affiliations are invited, both young and old, since the aim now is to disregard partisan lines & the common good.

Rogers, chief radio operator on the burned liner Morro Castle, testi- fied at a government inqury Wednes- day that some time ago his first as- sistant, George Alagna and another cperator “tried to instigate discontent on the ship.” Rogers testified hesitantly on this point and only after he received per- mission to consult his attorney, who subsequently was found not to be present. The witness said he feared his statements might be misconstrued. Dickerson N. Hoover, conducting PRESIDENT WANTS LAW FIREPROOFING VESSELS Hyde Park, N. Y., Sept. 12.—(#) —President Roosevelt expects con- gress to enact legislation requiring passenger ships to be constructed as completely fireproof as possible, as a result of the Morro Castle dis- aster. The president disclosed Wed- nesday in his- regular press con- ference that he wants all-steel passenger vessels and believes that even equipment material can be made of fireproof material.

He care- fully avoided Passing any judg- ment, the inquiry for the Department of Commerce, told Rogers he wanted to learn whether discipline was man- tained aboard the liner. ‘When his attorney did not appear, Rogers said: “Some time ago there was a strike among the radio operators. Alagna and another operator tried to insti- gate discontent on the ship by seek- ing signatures to a protest that the food on the ship was bad.” Wilmott Became Suspicious Rogers testified one operator “got ‘drunk and was discharged in New York,” and added that when he be- came chief operator “things went along quite smoothly.” The chief operator said Captain Robert R. Willmott, master of the Morro Castle who died the night be- fore the fire, conferred with him con- cerning Alagna and asked: “What's the matter with Alagna, is he crazy?” The witness testified Captain Will- mott told him that he and other of Alagna’s superior officers often re- ceived sarcastic remarks from the operator, “that he refused to obey or- ders, that he was an agitator.” Rogers quoted Willmott as telling him he wanted to “get rid of Alagna in New York” and said “I don’t trust that man.” Rogers told the board it was fully 30 minutes after he was awakened be- cause of the fire aboard the ship before he received an order to send out an SOS. . He said his second assistant oper ator awakened him at 2:55 a. m., East- ern Standard Time, and informed him there was a fire aboard. He said he dressed immediately and sent his first assistant, George Alegna, to the bridge as a “messenger to receive any orders.” He had no lack of confidence in the bridge, but was following routine room shortly, he “At 3:13 Mr. Aingue returned to the radio room and told me: “You'd better get out of here if you don’t want to die like a rat.’ “I asked him what about the dis- tress messages. “Then all the lights went out. ‘Smoke was getting thick and you couldn’t see.” Rogers said an emergency light in the radio room, required by law, was not on.

State Treasurer Alfred 8. Dale maintained the fund would possess & surplus of more than $500,000 and recommend no levy be made for the fund; R. M. Stangler, manager of the Bank of North Dakota asserted the fund would @ deficit of more than $500,000 by July 1, 1935, and asked a levy be made to cover it. A counter resolution, proposed by Attorney General P. O. Sathre, in- cluding a financial statement formed from records of the state treasurer's and state auditor's records was pass- ed by the commission, and approved by Dale, with the statement “I con- sider the estimates as recommended by the industrial commission to be very conservative.” The financial statement adopted by the commission held the fund to Possess total liabilities.to December 31, 1935, of $3,063,318.52, and resources to the same date of $2,663,318.52 with the deficit of $400,000 to be included in the 1934 tax levy. The recommended commission also & levy of $66,000 to cover a deficit in the mill and elevator milling bond payment fund. Liabilities for the per- fod from July 1, 1934, to December 31, 1935, were estimated to be $243,125; resources for the same period were estimated to be $177,411.12.

EVIDENCE IN PROBE SHOWS OFFICERS OF ARMY AS SALESMEN Surplus Munitions Sales Stopped in °33; Used to Train Unemployed EARLY’S NAME MENTIONED Army Chief of Staff Took Part in 1932 Turkish Selling Promotions x Washington, Sept. 12—()—Testi- mony that the war department dis- continued the sale of surplus stocks of munitions in April of 1933 because of the need of “military training for the unemployed” was given Wednes- nod to the senate munitions commit- Evidence also was presented that American~ aircraft manufacturers Considered in 1930 a proposal to have @ United States navy aircraft-carrier transport planes for them to Latin- America for a demonstration there to meet European competition. The name of Stephen T. Early, now secretary to President Roosevelt, was mentioned in a memorandum out of Curtiss files. Early at the time was an official of Paramount News Reel. Early’s Name Mentioned The memoradum, signed by Bur- dett 8. Wright, a Curtiss official, and dated July 1, 1929, said Early was working “on the procuring of a Cur- tiss Hawk from the army for Doo- little to make some acrobatic pic- tures over New York City.” A statement that General Douglas MacArthur, American chief of staff in the war department, “apparently talked up American military equip- ment to.the skies in discussions which he had with the Turkish gen- eral- staff,” while in Turkey in 1932, was made in a letter of W. F. Gould- ing, vice president of Curtiss, to F. C. Nichols of the Colt Fire Arms company. “General MacArthur was received with great pomp and enthusiasm by the Turkish dignitaries,” the letter said. How generally do army and navy officers play the part played by Gen- eral MacArthur in Turkey—the part of a salesman?” asked Nye. “I don’t think very generally,” swered Webster. “Well, it begins to look like the army and navy departme! are or- ganizations of salesmen, paid by the American government, for private business,” remarked Nye.

SALISBURY RESIGNS AS HIGHWAY CHIEF Poor Health Is Stated as Rea- son in Letter to Governor Olson Tuesday Minnewaukan, N. D., Sept. 12—(F)— Burt M. Salisbury, state highway commissioner, Tuesday mailed his resignation to Gov. Ole H. Olson. Salisbury, ill for some weeks, said he offered his resignation on the advice of physicians and that he believed Olson would accept it. At Bismarck Acting Governor Olson said he was reluctant to permit Salis- bury to retire but that under the cir- cumstances he probably would accept the resignation. Olson and Salisbury have been personal friends for years WEEKS WILL FILE APPEAL THURSDAY Attorney for Tax Commissioner Contends Removal Law ‘Unconstitutional’ Notice of appeal to the state su- preme court from the decision of Dis- trict Judge Fred Jansonius holding Gov. Ole H. Olson possessed power to remove J. J. Weeks as tax commis- stoner will be filed Thursday, marking another step in the “battle of writs” between the two state officials. Charles A.

Meanwhile, the committee arranged to hear Irenee, Felix, Lammot and Pierre du Pont ‘tell of the munitions operations of their huge corporation. Testimony was received Tuesday that President Rodriguez of Mexico had interested himself in war ma- terial sales and purchases. At Mexico, D. F., a statement was issued on behalf of the president say- ing “it is absurd and inconceivable to try to connect the name of the presi- dent of the republic and the names of other Mexican functionaries in the investigation . . . and whatever dec- larations may be made before that committee do not affect in any way the reputations of these persons, nor do they interest them in any way hatsoever.” 2 Schools Profit by Slot Machine Haul Slot machine jackpots kicked $328.16 into state school funds Wed- nesday, “urged to give up their hoard through the caressing touch of @ sledgehammer” wielded by state regulatory inspectors. From 44 slot-machines, taken in recent raids throughout the state, unt der direction of 8. A. Papke, state regulatory chief, a total of $468.80 was taken. Seventy per cent of the money will go to school funds, Papke said. The remaining 30 per cent will go into the state genera) fund. In raids last week, inspectors took 11 slotemachines. One was confis- cated at Grand Forks, two at Port- land, one at Finley, two at Buffalo, two at Elgin, two at Beulah and one at Gladstone. Papke said machines taken in the eastern sections of the state showed comparatively little “play,” evidenced by less money in iam, than those taken in western FAMOUS CHIEF DIES New Orleans, Sept. 12—(?)—Jules L. Alciatore, world-famous chef and restaurateur, proprietor of Antoine's in the French quarter of old New Orleans, is dead. The 70-year-old inventor of dishes known the world over, to whom sauces were sonnets and cuisine was a happy combination of science and artistry, succumbed Recently his health has been poor and his physicians, after an ex- amination, expressed the belief that he is threatened with appendicitis. He suffered a severe attack some time ago and his friends expressed the be- lief that he did not take a sufficiently long rest vefore plunging into the business of reorganizing the highway department, following tie removal of Frank Vogel by the supreme court on the grounds that Vogel is ineligible to hold office by reason of his conviction on @ felony charge in the federal court, Who will be appointed in Salisbury’s place remained conjectural. Governor Olson’s only hint was that it will be some one, whom he knows personally and whom ine knows he can trust. In- dications were that it will be a case of the job seeking the man rather than the man seeking the jub, although numerous suggestions and recom- mendations were made to him as soon as it became known that Salisbury had penned his resignation. Un-Called Cattle Will Be Rejected at Yards Shippers of government-purchased cattle have specific instructions from the federal authorities not to accept at the loading stations any cattle that have not been called for ship- ment, County Agent H. O. Putnam said Wednesday. ‘Too many cattlemen are attempt- ing to force their herds through early without call from the officials, the county agent reported, making the situation extremely difficult for the agents in charge and tying up the shipments at the yards. Stock that has not been salle’) will be rejected at the shipping po! It the cattle ee an called when it appears to the farmers that they should have been, it is usually be- cause the lein holders have not given @ release, he pointed out. Farmers having cattle appraised in two separate groups were warned not to bring both herds to the yards at the same time unless they hai speci- fic instructions to do so. It has been found that in most of these cases the second appraisals have not been inspected by the B. A. I. inspectors and are therefore not ready to be moved. Appraisals will be discontinued September 15, Putnam said. A spe- cial permission from the county agent’s office will be necessary for that date. Other points in his appeal will be: That if the law is not unconstitution- al, the power to remove is not arbi- trary, but one that may be exercised only after cause exists and is shown after the appointee has had a hearing | before the governor; that if the gov- ernor may remove arbitrarily, the act- ing governor, performing the duties and powers of chief executive during the temporary inability of the duly elected governor to do so, may remove ‘only in cases where it is necessary for | Proper administration of state gov- ernment. Judge Jansonius held for the gover- nor, after Olson had ordered Weeks to vacate the office, soon after the governor assumed office. Weeks re- fused, and Olson started a mandamus action to oust him. Weeks retaliated with a writ of certiorari, questioning Olson's right to remove him. It is this action which will be determined on the appeal to the higher court. RAIL RATE PROTEST GIVEN EXECUTIVES Northwest Representatives and Farm Administration Offi- cials at Meeting Chicago, Sept. 12.—(#)—Represent- atives of the farm administration at Washington Wednesday laid a re- quest for reduced rates on livestock feed shipped into drouth stricken states before the western association of railway executives. Harry G. Taylor, spokesman for the railroad group, said during a re- cess in the closed sessions that no specific cut was asked but that low- er charges on all livestock feed, par- ticularly forage, were requested. The Projected reductions would remain in effect through the winter to alleviate shortage of animal food caused by the protracted dry spell. Taylor indicated a decision would be forthcoming Wednesday night. Dr. Mordecai Ezekial represented the United States department of agri- culture. D. P, Trent and W. F. Cal- lender acted for the agricultural ad- justment administration. Kenneth McGregor of Page, N. D., N. D. Gorman of Fargo, N. D., and Dean W. O.

ELECTIONS HELD IN , EIGHT STATES SHOW | TREND OF POLITICS Walmsley Forces Decisively Beaten Ending Long Control Over New Orleans HUEY BECOMES DICTATOR Blease Beaten in South Caro- lina; Vermont Renames Austin, New Deal Foe New Orleans, Sept. 12—(7)—Sen ator Huey Long realized Wednesday his ambition to smash “the ring” that has been a power in New Orleans for half a century. Tuesday's primaries in seven other states as far flung as Washington on the west and New Hampshire on the east, showed these results Wed- nesday: South Carolina: The veteran Cole Blease beaten for governor. Colorado: A woman gives Gov. John- son close run for renomination. Arizona: Senator Ashurst leads close contest for renomination. Michigan: Gov. Comstock renomin- ated; Frank D. Fitzgerald is G. O. P. choice. Vermont: Senator Austin, New Deal foe, renamed by Republicans; Demo- crats pick Fred C. Martin. New Hampshire: Congressmen Rogers (Dem.) and Tobey (Rep.) re- nominated. Washington: Close race for Demo- cratic senatorial nomination. Walmsley Decisively Beaten’ Long’s candidates in Tuesday's Democratic primary won convincing victories, and “the ring” candidates, sponsored by Mayor T. Semmes Walmsley, were beaten. The election results went further than a mere endorsement of candi- dates. They established Long as a dic- tator with wide powers in the state. Previously, “the ring’—the old regular organization which year after year has elected its candidates with little -trouble—has repulsed Senator Long's determined drives against it. As recently as January, in the mayor- alty election, it defeated Long can- didates, So, after two hectic months, in which the political quarrel ran the gamut of troops and arms, a legisla- tive session, a city investigation, court battles and stirring invective, the tempestuous “Kingfish” landed on top, at last the final and absolute ruler of the state. The candidates in the New Orleans district received the following votes, For first district, J. O. Fernandez (Long) 28,815; Herve Rac- iviteh (Walmsley) 22,601, (145 of 156 precincts.) For congress—Second district, Paul Maloney (Long) 27,725; Gus Blancand (Walmsley) 23,721. (153 of 174 pre- cincts). For public service commission— James P. O'Connor, Jr., (Long) 56,- 798; Francis Williams (Walmsley) 47,847. (298 of 330 precincts). For state supreme court—Archibald Higgins (Long) 55,429; Walter Gleason (Walmsley) 46,985. (298 of 330 pre- cincts). Vermont Renames Austin In Vermont, the Republican Sena- tor Warren R. Austin, was renomin- ated by a three-to-one vote over Harry B. Amey. New Hampshire Republicans and Democrats appeared satisfied with the {congressional status quo, renaming Representatives Rogers (Dem.) and Tobey (Rep.) The feminist note added zest to the contest for the Democratic nomina- tion for governor in Colorado. Miss Josephine Roche, who owns coal mines and is a well known social worker, was ahead of Governor Edwin C. John- son for the nomination at one stage of the early vote count Tuesday night, but appeared on the basis of more complete returns to have been beaten jin her bid. Nate C. Warren is the Re- publican candidate. A veteran of the political wars, Sen- ator Henry F. Ashurst, had no easy time of it in Arizona, where Sidney P. Osborn put up a strong argument. On incomplete returns, however, Sen- ator Ashurst was pulling slowly but steadily away. Mrs. Greenway Renominated Mrs. Isabella Greenway, close friend of the Roosevelt family, was renom- inated by the Democrats for Arizona |for congressman-at-large. Cole Blease lost the Democratic nomination for governor of South Carolina to a 38-year-old Spartan- burg attorney, Olin D. Johnston. This was a runoff primary.
