It was brought out at the hearing in district court that Rognlie had had an excellent reputation, and that his robbery last Thursday of the bank and an oil filling station, and theft of a car during the 24-hour period were the only crimes committed by him. Judge Grimson said was being sent to Mandan to determine whether he had criminal instincts or was suffering “from a temporary brain storm.” Pleas for clemency were made by petitions of several hundred Benson county residents, public officials and the president of the Rugby bank. State’s Attorney L. R. Nostdal, who made an investigation of the case recommended a training school sen- tence. Clyde Duffy, Devils Lake, attorney for the youth, urged clemency, tell- ing the court dissension between .|Rogniie’s parents made his life un- bearable.

A. Harriman, ‘chairman of the board of the Union Pacific, stepped from the train to the platform. Eighteen years before, his father, the late E. H. Harriman, the west’s greatest builder of a railroad system, had set the coast-to-coast record when he traveled from San Francisco to New York in 71 hours, 27 minutes. His son, slender, youthful, chairman of the board at 44, had ridden the route in 14 hours, 32 minutes less time in the new modern streamlined flyer. The M-10001 negotiated the 3,334 miles on schedule, and between Chey- enne, Wyo., and Omaha, Neb., speeded to a new world’s railroad record of 120 miles an hour over two consecutive miles.

REVENGE SOUGHT BY FRIENDS OF FLOYD Gangster’s Pals Intent on Eve- ning Score With Police Chief Fultz Lisbon, O., Oct. 25.—(7)—To the hectic, staccato-like series of events to the killing of Charles “Pretty Boy” Floyd and the capture of Adam Richetti, was added Thurs- day a search for a large sedan report- ed to be carrying four men intent up- on evening the score with Police ‘Chief J. H. Fultz of Wellsville. Wednesday Chief Fultz received & letter threatening death to “the one that got” Floyd and his henchman Richetti, who is in jail here. Fultz captured Richetti last Saturday, but was not a member of the party of Peace officers who killed Floyd. Wednesday night the sedan was re- ported to be cruising this district, a machine gun plainly visible through its windows. A search for it by Chief Pultz was unsuccessful. The strange car was last seen at Calcutta, O., near ‘Lisbon.

See Business Gains ‘The cooperative resolution said re- ports indicated encouraging signs “that business now is beginning to seek a greater volume of bank credit. which has been and is available for its_use.” “It is to be hoped that toa steadily in- creasing degree industry and trade will avail themselves of the compre- hensive banking, facilities which both government and bankers are recom- mending that they utilize,” it added. The resolution said the balanced budget was essential to the national welfare. It added that it recognized that emergency expenditures were at times called for in the interests of human welfare, “Understanding statesmen,” the resolution said, “meet such emergen- cies as they arise, but at the same time make it clear that expenses can not ‘be allowet! to exceed.income in- definitely.” Some high officials of the associa- tion said the bankers had hoped the president would comment on the budget in his speech Wednesday night. The resolution said this sound prin- ciple was recognized by the president of the United States in the compre- hensive message which he sent to congress on the fourth of last January outlining the future financial policy of the administration and setting a time schedule for expenditures to be made in the interest of relief and re- covery. Expenditures Only Temporary “While the outlays called for were greater than those included in any other peace time budget in our history, the president wisely took occasion to call attention to the fact that these expenditures should not be continued as a matter of permanent policy. | “We earnestly urge our members to |support this sound policy that we should return to a definitely balanced budget. We believe that both govern- {ment and business should and can col- jlaborate to hasten the time of such return. Assurance that the budget is to be balanced will give rise to an expansion of industry and trade.” The cross-section view of the asso- ciation concerning the president's speech was described by its retiring president, Francis Marion Law, as | pointing the way for “further under- | standing and cooperative effort.” | Law expressed this view in a pre- pared statement. He d the bankers would “do their full duty.” “We desire,” Law said, “to assure the president that the banks have full confidence in the people. The bankers liked the clear statement of the president that labor of mind and hand were entitled to fair profits for this labor. Welcome President's Views “We have felt that emergency credit would be succeeded by private credit when the emergency was passed, and we welcomed the presi- dent's frank avowal that this was true and that traditional private credit would again resume its full function in fostering American prog- ress, “The banks always have been in alliance with industry, labor, business and agriculture, and the president's call for a closer alliance will meet our full response.” a Bearing an olive branch, President | Jackson E. Reynolds of the First Na- jtional Bank of New York, introduced President Roosevelt Wednesday night. Seeking to clear away “misunder- standing,” he made three suggestions: \"l, ‘The destitute must be cared for, either with private or public funds. 2. To expect the budget to be bal- anced at “too early a date” may be an “error” and any attempt to fix a date in advance might turn out to be “ridiculous.” 3. For the president to state that the dollar must remain for all time at its present point of “very defini-s stabilization” might unite all infls- tionary demands “into one irresistable program.” David Lawrence Speaks David Lawrence, speaking to the association Thursday, said the “forces of the left” are trying to consolidate political and economic power and set jue & “political despotism” in Wash- his criticism was directed “far beyond any man or any group of men who happen to be in office to- day,” the editor of the United States News summoned his hearers to & eeee Continued’ on Page . *
