North Dakota’s ESTABLISHED 1873 345 COFFINS; SEEK $1.00 WAGE BOOST Message From Self-Chosen Tomb Tells Families to Forget About Them GOVERNMENT INTERVENING Food Sent by Wives Returned; 40 Raving Madmen Brought to Surface Pecs, Ganarens Oct. 15. pe erged Monday f: black pit where for 106 hours, 1,200 miners on pernes self-entombed, striking for more rs “I expected a terrible catastrophe in the coal mines any moment,” said Janos Estergalyos, Democratic Social- istic parliamentarian who descended into the mine in an attempt to me- diate with the infuriated men. i “What I saw down there will be the most terrible remembrance of my life,” he said. “The miners have be- come absolutely insane from their aw- ful experience. Determined to Die “They are determined either to com- mit suicide by wrecking the pumps, or to blow up the mine, There is no more hope for them.” Until Estergaiyos returned from the bottom of the thousand-foot pit, nothing had been heard from the miners since early morning when they sent up @ request for 345 coffins with the words: “We are determined to die.

Utterly ex- hausted, they are huddied down there in the heat, lying on the dirty, water- soaked bed of the mine, with huge chunks of coal for pillows. “Some are unconscious. Nearly five days without water to drink has parched their throats and they could not eat if they had food. In their agony and thirst and hunger some of them utter sounds like tormented ani- mals.” Send Up Ultimatum The secretary of the Mine Workers Union declared after emerging from a trip to the bottom of the mine that the men would accept no compromise. He brought up a message from them: “We have decided deliberately to commit suicide if our demands are not met. Suicide by starvation in the heart of the earth is no worse than slow death by starvation if we con- tinue to accept less than $2 a week. ‘We are Hungarians. As such we hope that our countrymen may heer our cry of pity from the depths of the mine and from the depths of our hearts.” At 2 p. m. government officials wished to send troops to the bot- tom of the pit te force the strikers to the surface at the point of bay- onet and gun, and put an end to their threats of self elimination un- less wage demands of $3.50 a week are met. But the fact that the mine elevator holds only 16 men thus far had pre- vented the rnment from taking any steps, authorities feared the hungry and enraged miners might attempt to butcher the soldiers with Pickaxes. Government Hesitant The government hesitates to force the company owning the mine, in which Austrians and Sritishers heavily invested, to meet the min- ers’ demands, fearing it might lead to complications with foreign govern- ments. It-would also lead, authorities feared, to similar strikes for wage in- creases among Hungarian workers throughout the country. ‘The villagers, tense and excited, interpreted this to mean that the threatened mass suicide—without precedent in capital-labor contro- ve -areeay was partly accom- Representatives of the government were skeptical.

Oldest Newspaper French Hero Dies | RAYMOND POINCARE War-time president and “savior of France” ten years later, Raymond Poincare died quietly at his home in Paris early Monday . He was 74 years old. Since his resigna- tion as premier in 1929 he had been in retirement. RAYMOND POINCARE, FRENCH PRESIDENT DURING WAR, DIES ‘Sovior of Franc’ Succumbs Suddenly Monday at world war figures, died quietly at 3:30 o'clock .orning. ” war-time of the franc” 10 years later, was 4 years old. The shock of the Marseille assassi- mations may have hurried the end. M. Poincare grieved over the disas- trous event, for he knew King Alex- ander well and Louis Barthou was his life-long friend. Poincare will be given @ national funeral Saturday, immediately after President Lebrun’s return from King Alexander's funeral at Belgrade. The body will le in state at the Pantheon until Saturday noon when it will be taken to Notre Dame cathedral for services, then returned to the Panthe- jon for Premier Doumergue’s funeral oration. After a military display the body will be taken to Sampigny for private burial at Nubecourt. Death came at his home after a short illness which doctors thought was not serious. Th: elderly states- man had expected to leave shortly on his annual winter trip to the Riviera. Although virtually in political re- tirement since he resigned as premier in 1929, Poincare had just been re- elected to a departmental council seat after a spectacular physical come- back. Doctors two years ago gave him up for lost. All Sunday night his wife and friends watched with him. He was conscious but an extension of his par- alysis stilled his voice. He died in a lent room as a cold and windy rain- jtorm rattled the windows of his Paris home. Normally Poincare would be given @ national funeral, but he may have left a request for simplicity. He had expressed a preference to be buried at Nubecourt, close to his home in Sampigny. There, he said, he wished to lie with his parents ana brother in the province of Lorraine which he loved so much. Poincare was the last of France's four great war chiefs. Foch, Joffre and Clemenceau are gone.

Those in a position to know agreed that the fifth day played an import- ant part in the $50,000 ransom note. Fears have been expressed that the kidnaper intended to kill the young society matron if at that time he had not received the ransom and made his way to safety. ‘With the case at this critical stage, it was pointed out significantly that Sunday was the first day since the kidnaping last Wednesday to pass swithout an appeal by radio to the kid- naper. The ransom money has been dispatched to Nashville, apparently to be called for there or forwarded else- where, Cave May Be Hideout Most promising of the clues run down by the officers Monday seemed to be that suggested by the reported sighting of a woman who looked like Mrs. Stoll in Warren county, half way between Louisville and Nashville. It was in this direction that Stoll drove furiously last Friday. ‘This section of Kentucky is honey- combed with caves. Beneath every {hull and opening into. every valley, they’ Me in hundreds. The region is wild and sparsely settled. Some investigators agreed that Mrs. |Stoll—if still alive, despite being ill with a cold when she was taken away in a negligee and a light coat—might be hidden in one of those little caverns. “I won't claim any progress has been made,” said Harold Nathan, depart- ment of justice agent. Friday morning saw the $50,000 ran- som started on its way. The bundle of small bills lay that afternoon in Nashville waiting to be claimed. The husband returned from a furious drive through central Kentucky and broad- cast an announcement that “we have met all the ransom requirements.” The statement, designed for the kid- naper, plainly indicated the ransom had been paid according to his direc- tions, Plane Scans Highways Sunday morning saw an army air- Plane hastily rise to scan the high- ways leading from Louisville. It sought a car reported by James E. Scales, a contracting plasterer, to con- tain Mrs, Stoll, bound and helpless. The intensive search of the country- side continued. Their hurried and literal compliance with the specific directions of the kid- nap note gave the Stolls hope that the death they feared threatened her might be averted. The kidnaper’s only message—cul. tured in wording, precise in expression and businesslike in manner—laid down what he expected. The note had been prepared with the name of C. C.

ON WITNESS STAND HE LIED T0 POLICE Lindbergh Suspect Declares He Was at Home on Night of Kidnaping New York, Oct. 15.—(#)—Bruno Hauptmann sprung a surprise in Bronx supreme court Monday by in- forming Attorney General David T. Wilentz, of New Jersey, that he had informed police, when arrested, that he had more of the Lindbergh ransom money in his possession. A short time before Hauptmann had testified that he had told a lie when he informed police on the day of his arrest that a $20 gold note found in his possession was part of $300 worth of such notes he had saved. Wilentz then asked the prisoner why he did not admit to police that he had in his possession more of the Lindbergh money. “I did,” Hauptmann replied. “You did?” countered Wilentz. “Who did you tell?” Hauptmann said he did not know, but thought it was O’Rryan, (former Police commissioner O’Ryan.) Asked whether it was a policeman in uniform, Hauptmann said it was not. He said he would know the man if he saw him and several police of- ficials stood in court. Asked whether Chief Inspector John A. Lyons was the man, Hauptmann said “yes.” Hauptmann testified that he was at his East 222nd Street home in the Bronx the night of March 1, 1932, the night the Lindbergh baby was kid- naped. ped. Asked by his counsel whether he recalled “the first day of March, 1932,” Hauptmann testified without hesitation that he remembered taking his wife, Anna, who preceded him on the stand, home from a Bronx lunch- room where she worked that night. He remembered clearly, also, he said, taking her to work that morn- The prisoner said he called at the bakery between 6 and 7 p. m., the night of the kidnaping, had supper there, and went home with his wife, remaining at home that night. James M. Fawcett, defense counsel, completed his direct examination of the witness shortly before 1 o'clock, and a recess was taken until 2 p. m. The recess was taken at the re- quest of David T.

H. Olson and Senator Gerald P. Nye were among political speakers who came out strongly over the week-end for W. L. Nuessle, A. G. Burr and James Morris as candidates for the state supreme court. Each expressed the view that the court has Bo place in factional politics but that action is necessary if it is to be kept free from political domination. Nye, who is reopening his campaign Monday at Valley City after a short illness, lauded the court members for their courage in deciding the Langer ouster case. His statement, which mentioned no one by name, was issued from his bed in a hospital at Grafton from which he was discharged Mon- day morning. In his statement, Nye said: “The state supreme court might easily have delayed or sidestepped a decision in that case determining the right of Governor Langer to continue in office. But instead of awaiting the election involving some of the court members themselves, the court dared to make the decision at a time when its membership knew that prejudices were running high. They could not {have helped knowing that their im- mediate popularity depended upon a decision favorable to Governor‘ Langer. “A more courageous decision is rare- ly made than was that by our su- preme court in this particular case. It should invite our confidence and support. It has mine. 4 “Dragging the supreme court into the political mire as is being done in this campaign is only one more evi- dence of what accompanies success of a political machine built around and by personalities rather than prin- ciples. Such machines are always blind to fair play and become vicious in their arrogance and prejudices. May North Dakota be forever saved from the consequences of a court con- stituted of men indebted to such a machine for their presence upon it, even though it be true that such men sometimes rise above the presumed restrictions placed by their sponsors.” Olson, in a statement at Grand Forks, said he favors the candidacies of Nuessle, Burr and Morris and would do all he could to further their can- didacies. J. H. Sinclair said he is running for re-election on his re- cord as a congressman and would stick to that subject, but that the bring- ing of the supreme court into state Politics is “regrettable.” PROTESTANTS FIGHT NAZI CHURCH RULE 90 Per Cent of Evangelicals Rally to Support of De- posed Bishop Munich, Germany, Oct. 15.—(P)— Protestants of Bavaria presented vir- tually a united front Monday, pledged to a finish fight against the “strang- ling dictatorship of Nazi church lead- ers.” Ninety per cent of the Evangelical pastors and laymen, it was estimated, rallied to the support of the deposed Bishop Hans Meiser, who is under arrest at his home for his bitter op- position to Rel Ludwig Mueller, charged with carrying out the Nazi goal of a unified German Protestant church. superiority of An overwhelming numbers was displayed by Meiser’s followers Sunday at protest meetings which adopted sharp protests against actions by Mueller and his aides. Members predicted they would ef- fect Melser’s reinstallation, which would give Chancellor Hitler his first setback in the drive to complete the regimentation of Germany. Threats that police would use force failed to keep Bishop Meiser’s sup- porters away from church. An offi- cial warning that children must not attend services under penalty of pro- tective arrest was disregarded. - Three Lose Lives In Fishing Tragedy Honolulu, Oct. 15.—(#)—The bodies of two victims of a fishing tragedy which claimed the lives of two army officers and the wife of one were ./sought along the beach at Waimea Monday. ‘The body of Lt.

He was the third of the sus- pected conspirators to be caught. The “gun girl” was still sought. ‘The forest has been surrounded by police and gendarmes who have been’ conducting a minute search for him since the day of the assassination. Identifies Himself When questioned by a police com- missary, he readily admitted he was the man sought. Hunger drove the man into the hands of the police. | French police were rushed to Geneva when it was reported Kvater- nik had been seen there. An inten- sive search was underway for “the doctor.” A search of all Europe for Dr. Ante Pavelich and Gustav Perec, named as Balkan terrorists’ chiefs by confessed fellow conspirators of the assassin Petrus Kalemen, was begun Monday to stamp out what police call @ “gang of international assassins.” Fears for the lives of Yugoslav gov- ernment leaders spurred the search for “higher ups” along with three fugitive members of the “suicide squzd,” including a beautiful Slavic gun girl, associates of Kalemen. (Yugoslav officials have revealed the real name of King Alexander's as- sassin was Vlada Georgieff Tscherno- cemskz, a notorious Macedonian ter- rorist and an associate of Ivan Mi- hailoff, whom they held responsible for several previous assassinations).

Vernon, N. Y., Oct. 15.—(>)— Police said Monday that Lawrence Stone, husky young laborer, had con- fessed throwing 5-year old Nancy Jean Costigan into a huge apartment house furnace. A tiny gold ring, a child's wrist- watch and a few blackened bones were removed from the furnace Sun- day after the six-foot, oil-fed flames had been turned off. They were all that remained. A trail of blood through a base- ment maze was interpreted by police as mute testiniony of a brutal assault, but Stone's confession, as announced by Chief Inspector Michael I. Sil- verstein, said the girl was hurt in a fall. Stone, discharged handyman at the apartment house, was quoted as con- fessing he had been playing with the child in the basement and had hit her with her rubber ball. She fell, he said, striking her head on the concrete floor. Then she “turned blue.” Became Panic-Stricken Stone started to carry Nancy Jean upstairs, the confession continued, but became panic-stricken. He threw her into the flames. Blood smeared on his clothes led to the arrest of Stone, who is 24. He insisted during hours of questioning that he knew nothing of the slaying. Police said he explained that he got the blood on his clothes while helping to turn upright @ police pa- trol which had been in @ collision on its way.to the apartment house. But, Inspector Silverstein said, a hall man had noticed Stone's blood-flecked necktie before the slaying was dis- covered. A tenant of the building said she had seen Stone and the child togeth- er half an hour before the horror- stricken hall man, following the dry- ing splotches, saw the little skull through the leaping flames. Nancy Jean, daughter of & well- to-do Long Island couple, had been visiting her aunt, Mrs. C. Russell Newhouse, at the Pel-Hutchinson apartment house, the largest and one jof the most exclusive apartment structures in Mount Vernon. Mr. and Mrs. Richard J. Costigan of Forest Hills, her parents, were up- stairs with Mrs. Newhouse when the slaying was discovered. Noticed Bloodstains At 5 o'clock, Charles Hutchinson went into the cellar to regulate the furnace. Almost immediately he no- ticed bloodstains. Hurrying for assistance, Hutchinson saw a man in the basement. He identified the shadowy figure as the former handyman and saw the blood on his tie, Inspector Silverstein said. He did not stop to speak to Stone, however. With Frank Springer, another em- ploye, Hutchinson opened the furnace door, saw the blackened skull and turned off the oil. Dr. Amos O. Squire, Westchester county medical examiner, estimated that the fire was fierce enough to cremate the body in two minutes. Three detectives were slightly in- jured as the patrol wagon collided with the automobile of H. G. Cornell and an ambulance was called to take them to the hospital while other of- ficers hunted for the handyman. Taking the injured men to the am- bulance, they found Stone sitting in- side it. He had received no injuries, however, and was taken from the hos- pital to police headquarters, there to be questioned about the blood on his body and clothes. Chemists went to work to determine whether the blood on the prisoner's clothes was like that on the basement floor. They also sought to determine whether the child had been attacked. Two Charged With Skunk Bootlegging’ “Skunk bootlegging” has made its appearance in North Dakota, Thoralf Swenson, state game and fish com- missioner, revealed Monday, with the conviction at Burt, of two men. The two, Albert Shutz and Ernest Rakusek, were convicted and fined, then jailed, N. C. Starck, deputy com- missioner, said. Shutz was given 30 days in the county jail and Rakusek, 10 days. Starck came searching for the ani- mals, acting on a@ tip. He found none. Later, Starck said, Rakusek admitted the skunks were hidden under a pile of thistle. Starck ordered Shutz to disclose the skunks. Shutz, Starck said, bur- rowed in the pile for a moment, then revealed a door of thistle, which he opened, in turn disclosing a con- crete runway and cavern for the ani- mals. Forty live skunks were taken from their concrete prison and re- leased in the fields. For possession of illegal beaver pelts, Nick Supola, of Sanish wes fined $50 and given 30 days in jail, Starck reported.
