Patience is receiving its reward. Faith is being justified. Hope is being fulfilled. Needed People’s Help “It is true that we who are en- trusted with the responsibilities of government have labored toward this end, but the great factor in the im- provement has been the courage of the American people themsélves. ‘Without your help, our labors would have availed far less.” Mr. Roosevelt paid tribute to what he termed the “liberal spirit” of California, and made tender refer- ence to the death of his friend, Will Rogers. Near the close of his brief speech the president expressed his. keen ‘per- sonal regret that Will Rogers could not be here. Referring to a previous visit dur- ing the 1932 campaign he said that “on that occasion I was introduced by a very old friend of mine, a friend of every man, woman and child in the United States, a kindly philo- sopher—one who would be with us today but for his untimely death in Alaska. He Saw Facts “Will Rogers’ kindly humor saw facts and laughed at fantasy.” Grey skies and occasional gusts of light rain threatened to mar an ela- borate program planned for the first visit of a chief executive in office since that of Woodrow Wilson in 1919. Despite the threatening weather, a crowd of several thousand gathered at the Union Pacific station to cheer the president on the completion of his transcontinental trip. In his brief address atthe site of crowd estimated at 70,000, Mr. Roose- velt made a plea for “liberals” of the country to “find common ground and @ common road.” i Recalls Wilson's Wisdom “Years ago,” he related, “President ‘Wilson told me a story.

Box seats for the three games were $19.80, grand stand seats $16.50. They stood, sat, and even lay on the sidewalk wrapped in newspapers and all manner of garments. Bonfires built in buckets glowed along the lines, and one or two gasoline stoves supplied coffee to all within reach. Messenger boys held places for those-ablesto pay the price.

D., Oct. 1.—(#)—The Un- ion Stockyards company Tuesday threw open its new yards at West Fargo to start a public marketing Program, expecting to greet nearly 35,000 ceremony visitors.

Marine officials made arrangements to comfort the shipwrecked passen- gers, who were on their way back to New York after a West Indies cruise when the liner struck the reef. The closed Constant Spring hotel was opened to house some of them and others were distributed among other hotels and private homes in Kingston. Position ‘Difficult’ Those who were transferred from the Rotterdam to the Ariguani after the Holland-America liner went aground early Monday on a coral reef at Morant Cays, about 60 miles south- east of Kingston, expressed fear that the Rotterdam’s position was “diffi- jeult.” Efforts to refloat the stranded liner were started. Captain J. Van Dulken and some members of the crew re- mained aboard, although the 24,149- ton vessel was pounding on the reef and leaking in four compartments. The skeleton crew was in no im- mediate danger, and the salvage ship Killerig,; out of Kingston, strained to set the big liner free. 700 Taken to Kingston Four hundred fifty passengers and about 250 of the crew of 526 of the Rotterdam came to Kingston. Scheduled originally to leave for England Tuesday, the Ariguani was loading here Monday when the Rot- terdam wirelessed for assistance.

Kearney said di Chiari denied the accusation. Eight others were being detained for questioning. All Name ‘Torch’ Kearney said Vitale, his nephew, Joseph, and brother-in-law, Sam Jocopelli, all named DiChiri as the “torch” in the tragedy. Captain John Norton said Vitale, in need of money, appealed to his nephew, Joseph Vitale, a tavern keeper, who suggested a fire to col- lect on $3,000 insurance. Joseph, said the elder Vitale, brought in Di Chiari who carried three five-gallon cans of gasoline into the basement under Vi- tale’s store. At midnight Sunday the fire was started. “I didn’t expect such a big fire,” Captain Norton said Vitale told him. Captain Norton said he was told the plot began last Wednesday, when Vitale confided to his nephew that “he would like a fire.” CITY FATHERS PASS ORDINANCE BANNING BOX CAR: BUILDINGS Contracts Awarded for Sup; tentiary Sewer Main An ordinance prohibiting the use of box cars for dwellings, places of business or out-buildings within the Bismarck city limits was read for the second time and passed at the regu- lar Monday night meeting of the board of city commissioners.

CHOIR SINGER FOUND ,UILTY OF DROWNING ing Materiats for Panic [WIRE ON CANOE RIDE Scoutmaster-Slayer Shows No Emotion as Yankee Jury Pronounces Doom Worcester, Mass. Oct, 1.—(P}—A Yankee jury branded Newell P. Sher- man a wife-murderer Tuesday in @ verdict dooming him to the electric chair. The wife, victim of “an American tragedy,” whose rival was Esther Ma- gill, machine shop co-worker of the choir-singing _scoutmaster-husband, was drowned from a canoe on Lake Singletary. . Judge Thomas J. Hammond told the jurors— “You can look the world in the face with the satisfaction that comes of a duty well performed.” The 242-pound slayer displayed no emotion as the verdict was announced. The manda‘ death sentence will not be prono} until the de- fense has had opportunity to file an appeal. The jury accepted the state’s charge that Sherman lured his wife, who could not swim, into a canoe for the first time in her life, overturned the frail craft, pushed her away when she tried to cling to him and swam ashore. The state advanced as a motive for the crime Sherman’s admitted illicit relations with 18-year-old Miss Magill. His defense was, in brief, that the canoe overturned accidentally and that he swam ashore with the canoe under his arm, impelled only by a de- sire for self-preservation. 30 DROWN IN STORM Istanbul, Oct. 1—(?)—More than 30 Persons, including 5 women and 3 children, were drowned when 15 boats were wrecked in a heavy storm on the Black sea and northern Anatolia |killed here Tuesday. . BRITISH AIR SUPPORT AGAINST ANY THREAT Hitler’s Diplomats Indicate They Will Be Neutral in East Africa Dispute ETHIOPIA’S ARMY PREPARED Italy Withdrawing Its Consuls =~ as Commencement of Hos- tilities Draws Near (By the Associated Press) France issued unexpected orders for military maneuvers and streng- thened her defenses along the Ger. man border as the date drew near for Germany's official retirement from the League of Nations. At the same time, the French were reported as anxious for British avia- tion support against any threat from Germany in return for French rein- forcements of the British fleet in the Mediterranean in case of trouble with Italy. These negotiations, revolving in diplomatic and military channels around the Italo-Ethiopian crisis cen- tering in East Africa, appeared to be solidified by actions in the two most interested countries—Italy and Ethio- Selassie Prepared Emperor Haile Selassie informed the League of Nations that he was prepared to mobilize his fighting men, and there were indications that this mobilization might be undertaken yet this week. Luigi Vinci-Gigliucci, the Italian minister in Addis Ababa, ordered the five Italian consulates in Aduwa and Harar provinces to evacuate as quick- ly as possible. Italian consular agents were trav- eling as best they could through the muddy roads to the Ethiopian capi- tal, to the Sudan, and to Eritrea, and this order was regarded as an indica- tion that Italy was withdrawing its Officials in advance of hostilities, Called Menacing Threat Informed sources in Rome describ- Ethiopia’s' impending general mobilization as a “menacing threat” of imminent war. Officials said the Italian army in East Africa had not crossed the Ethiopian border, but that they were braced against an Ethio- Pian attack. Since Germany’s resignation for the League of Nations becomes effective Oct. 21, part of the interest at Geneva centered on the Reich. German dip- lomats indicated that their country would remain neutral in the event of war between Italy and Ethiopia. Nevertheless, France, as usual, was Tegarded as nervous over the border situation.

C—Those citizens who have felt sorry for President Roosevelt because, poor man, he car= ries such a heavy burden, can forget all about that. He likes his job and seems to be enjoying himself thoroughly in it. One who has never before seen the president may be a poor judge, but as he sat at his last press conference be- fore leaving for the west he looked to be “in the pink.” He had just come back from a semi-vacation at Hyde Park and was about to leave on another. His smile comes easily—and fre- quently. His manner was as debon- air and gay as that of a schoolboy about to go fishing. If the cares of his office weigh heavily he didn’t show it. As a matter of fact, he seemed more fit and appeared to have more vitality than any of his secretaries. Both of those now on duty look like they would need a@ doctor's services sooner than the president. Marvin McIntyre, thin-cheeked and hollow- eyed, looked overworked or underfed —or both. Steve Early, the administration Playboy, looked as though he had been forced to throw cold water into his face too many mornings in suc- cession. But Mr. Roosevelt gave the impres- sion of a man who sleeps well and who regards the world as his per- sonal oyster—sure to contain a pearl. + * % NRA REMNANTS COMPILING DATA One of the rules is that the presi- dent is not to be quoted and the press lives up to it religiously. It seems safe to say, however, that before the congress meets again, the president will be asking industry for its speci- fic recommendations on the employ- ment problem. If it hasn’t any then he may have something to suggest in the way of a successor to the NRA which still has some 3,000 employes. ‘Some of these are supposed to be checking industry, employment and other factors to see how the nation’s industrial convalescence is progress: ing. And who is chiseling and where. The others are and analyz: ing this data, It will all be there for congress when it meets again. It seems, too, according to reliable White House authority, that the CCO may become a permanent feature of our national life. The aim is to cut it down as, if and when industry ab- sorbs men now enrolled «until the number reaches 300,000. ‘There it will be kept to take care of about half the 600,000 young men whé leave school annually and who would be eligible. The total is about 750,000 but of this number 150,000 or so are Physically unfit or otherwise removed from the picture. What about a CCC for girls? There has been a lot of thought about that. Anyone with a workable plan might send it to the White ‘House. * & * INQUIRES ABOUT CONDITIONS IN N. D. In a very brief chat after the oth- er pressmen had gone, the president inquired about conditions in North Dakota, seemed pleased when told they were improving. He didn’t ask many questions and neither did your correspondent. What should one ask @ president, anyway? After watching the president work it is easy to understand why so many newspapermen are his supporters. He gets right into the ring with them and anything goes. His answers are apparently free and frank and hon- est. The questions cover a wide range of subjects but only rarely did he seem stumped for a fact although he occasionally admitted he might be hazy about a figure, sug- gested the lads check with so ana 80. A good many people in Washing- ton seemed worried about the coming. election. Who they are and why they ‘are worried will be disclosed in a lat- er article.
