The majority of the conservative government, led by Premier R. B. Bennett, was wiped out by a wave of anti-administration votes. New parties made a dismal show- ing, but in the west the social credit group won more than a dozen parlia- ment seats, most of them from Al- berta, birthplace of the party. An incomplete unofficial count showed the liberals would have the largest house majority any party ever had in Canada, Assured 165 Seats ‘They were assured of 165 seats out of the 245 at stake.

Hilles TO CARRY FIGHT TO PUBLIC Declines to Indicate Whether or Not He Will Be Presiden- tial Candidate Washington, Oct. 15.—(#)—The Washington Post says Senator Wil- liam E. Borah has “moved a step clos- er toward entering the Republican presidential fight” with the declara- tion he intends to do everything he can to rally public sentiment against eastern domination of the party’s coming presidential campaign. A Post correspondent who obtained an interview with the Idaho senator at Boise, said: “Senator Borah is determined to break up the strategy of Charles D. Hilles, New York Republican national committeeman, and other eastern leaders. “They are encouraging favorite sons and selection of uninstructed del- egations in the hope of being able to Defense Given 30 Days to Ask Supreme Bench to Review Its Allegations Trenton, N. J., Oct. 15.—(?)—Bruno Richard Hauptmann’s execution was stayed indefinitely Tuesday when the court of errors and appeals granted him a oppertunity to appeal his con- viction in the Lindbergh kidnap-mur- der case to the supreme court of the “The court gave Egbert Rosecrans, one of the defense attorneys, 30 days in which to ask the supreme court to review allegations that Hauptmann’s constitutional rights were violated in the trial. The order, which would have re- turned the case to Supreme Court Justice Thomas W. Trenchard, trial judge, for resetting of the execution date, was stayed by the court of er- rors and appeals, but will automatic- ally take effect Nov. 14, if the appeal is not perfected by that time. Six days ago the court of errors and appeals, in a unanimous opinion, upheld Hauptmann’s conviction. The state applied last Friday for the or- der which was stayed Tuesday. Rosecrans asked the court to pre- vent return of the record until the supreme court disposes of the case or until “the further order of the court.’ ‘His motion was opposed by Assistant Attorney General Joseph Lanigan, who asked that the order fix a defi- nite time in which the appeal must be take. Rosecrans agreed to the 30-day pe- riod, and said he would “act with dis- ” ‘Should the supreme_court refuse to entertain Hauptmann’s appeal, the new electrocution date would be fixed for some time late in December or January. ‘ NRA Resurrected in Lawsuit Over Wages ; Fairmont, Minn., Oct. 15.—(#)—The NRA, invalidated by the United States supreme court decision last May, has been resurrected in a laW- suit to be tried in Martin cdinty district court, When the Fairmount Auto com- negotiate at the convention and pick the candidate. The way to prevent this, Borah believes, is to carry the fight to the public and go to the con- vention with delegates pledged in pres- idential primaries,” Whether he will himself be a can- didate, the Post correspondent said, “Senator Borah declined to indicate.

DRY SPELL SLOWS PLOWING, SEEDING Pastures, Ranges Need Rain Badly, No Precipitation Here Since Sept. 25 Failure to receive any considerable; amount of rain during the last two months "has greatly retarded fall plowing and seeding of winter rye in most sections of the state, O. W. Roberts, federal meteorologist, said here Tuesday. Not since August 1 when .48 inch of precipitation was recorded at the Bismarck station has any ble amount of rain been recorded at weather bureau stations throughout the Missouri Slope area. Scattered points throughout North Dakota have reported heavier: rains during the 60-day period but Bis- marck and vicinity received only .24 inch of rain on September 25 and as yet has had none in October.

(Associated Press hoto) AMERICANS SARE AS REVOLUTION BREAKS OUT IN MEXICO AREA Disgruntled Peons on Rampage Slaying State and Muni- cipal Officials Douglas, Ariz. Oct. 15.—(#)—Five American hunters missing in strife- torn- Sonora, Mexico, were- believed by officials here Tuesday to be safely continuing a hunting expedition in the rugged hills south of here. The killing of two town officials by roving armed band in Sonora Mon- day and the report another official had been slain led to fears for the Americans whose guns and ammuni-; tion were reported seized by Mexican raiders. i A secretary to Lewis Boyle, Amer- fcan consul at Douglas, said “I un- derstand the five men in the interior are all right.” He did not explain the basis of his belief. Publisher Escapes He said the consular office was fa- miliar with the case but ig had not been reported to the office by Arthur D. Norcross, New York publisher, who, reports received here said, had escaped after surrendering his own hunting equipment. The missing hunters were reported to be J. H. Durrell, vice president of the National City Bank, New York; James Bruce of the Chase National Bank, New York; Lee Paull and Dr. ‘W. 8. Fulton, Wheeling, W. Va., and Jack Durrell, San Francisco repre- sentative of the Chase National Bank, Town authorities of Sonora, just: across the border from the United States, were described as doubling their efforts to obtain arms for re- pulsing possible attacks by the band, members of which were termed dis- gruntled agriculturists aiming their blows specifically at state and mu- nicipal officials, 4 Slain Reported The Americans went into Sonora, Oct. 8, just prior to a rebellion at Rio Grando in which the town presidente (mayor) and three others were slain.

S. Bingenheimer in Charge of Office at World War Me- morial Building COUNTY COMMITTEE HELPS Agency Goal to Re-Establish Farmers on Self-Sustain- ing Basis by Loans Burleigh county's branch of the federal resettlement administration now is open for business in the coun- ty agent’s office at the World War Memorial building, F. 8. Bingenheimer said Tuesday. Farmers desiring to take advantage of its offer of assistance are invited to come in and go over their situa- tion with Bingenheimer or County Agent H. O. Putnam who is cooperating with him. In charge of the Bismarck | district comprising eight counties is U. ‘J. Downy, who has moved here from Hettinger. Bingenheimer, a former resident of Timmer, has lived in Bistnarcx for the last year, during which time he has been connected with the federal feed setup. Members of the county advisory committee cooperating in the resettle- ment effort are James W. Guthrie, J. E. Davis, H. F. Tiedman, Mrs. Eliza- beth Wenzel and Paul Schonert. Precedure Outlined ‘Under the new setup, which placed relief for farmers in the resettlement administration, the procedure outlined to Bingenheimer by Carl S. Ward, in charge of the work in this area, is as ity to repay it within two to five years. 2. Applicants may call on Bingen- heimer and the latter will assist in devising a farm budget plan, looking to his re-establishment on a self- sustaining basis. 3. The county advisory committee will pass on the plan in each case and if approved there, it will be sub- mitted to the regional office for final action, Each budget will be designed to fit the individual case. If a budget is approved the government will supply whatever material is needed to put it into operation. Recognizes Relief Needs Although not a relief agency, the resettlement administration recognizes that relief is a paramount considera- tion at this time, Ward advised Bing- enheimer, At the same time he was instructed to remember that the real goal is the re-establishment of worthy and deserving farmers on a self-sus- taining basis. Of particular interest are those who, with a small loan, could purchase farm equipment, live- stock or other capital goods and thus get back on their feet. The rehabilitation phase of the work will be mage as temporary as possible whereas the resettlement feature will be more permanent. The latter will deal chiefly with four types of farm- ers as follows: 1, Those who live on land which cannot be made to yield a satisfactory living. 2. The farm tenant class. 3. Young couples just starting out in life who otherwise would have to begin as tenants or hired servants. 4. Rehabilitation applicants who have proved their merit under the rehabilitation loan plan. - Under the rehabilitation ~ plan, money will be loaned only for the purchase of capital goods as‘ listed in the budget. Under the resettlement plan the loan will include such items and in addition provision for the pur- chase of land or its lease on a long: term basis with ownership as the ul- timate goal. Hull Advises Three Point Peace Effort Washington, Oct. 15.—()—Declar- ing the “obsolete and blood-stained instrument” of war cannot cure the world’s economic ills, Secretary of State Hull Tuesday advocated a three-fold international effort for peace and prosperity. ~ He called for “simultaneous action of many countries” for: 1. A “vigorous rebuilding of inter- national trade.” 2. A “gradual restoration of inter- Duce Resigned to General European War, Allen Reports Air Bombings Feared Imminent As Italian Planes Swoop Over Harar; Black Warriors _ March Toward Advancing Foes France’s Peace Efforts Contrast Sharply With Britain’s Militant Attitude; Small - Nations Asking Economic Help (By the Associated Press) Italian airplanes roared over two strategic areas of Ethio- pia Monday and Tuesday, like harbingers of death, even as Emperor Haile Selassie proclaimed a holy war for the recap- ture of Aksum, shrine of Coptic Christians. A League of Nations subcommittee on sanctions decided in principle to recommend an embargo on tin, coal, zinc, wool, nickel, gasoline and other “key” materials of war to the Fas- cist legions. : Ethiopia began receiving her first arms shipments after lifting of the embargo against herself. The populace of Harar, “garden of Ethiopia,” fled to the hills for safety as reconnaissance planes swooped down on that city, goal of the Italian Somaliland army whi h is on the line of march toward the capital of the empire, Addis Ababa. _ Other planes bombarded and dispersed Ethiopian troops in camps south of Makale, some 70 miles southeast of the holy city Emperor Haile Selassie pledged himself to retake. The -1 information was contained in an official communique at Rome. Scouting planes, flying high, created apprehension at Diredawa, halfway along the only railroad in Ethiopia, coupling Addis Ababa and Djibouti, French Somaliland. An air bomb- ing, which might cut off foreigners from their only exit to the sea, was feared to be imminent. ; Hordes of the emperor’s black warriors marched bare- foot toward the advancing Italian army on the southern front for an engagement which may prove to be the first major bat- tle of the war. 8 . While further reports of clashes at arms, coupled with predictions of the first junior battle of the war, trickled in over heavily burdened telegraph wires, sharply contrasting stories about Premier Mussolini and his at- TREASURY HOLDING UP WPA PROJECTS $900,000 in Work Approved But Funds Not Yet Allo- cated, Moodie Says Delay by the treasury department in making allotments to the state is} ¥® holding up $900,000 in work projects in North Dakota, Thomas H. Moodie, state works progress administrator, asserted Tuesday. Moodie pointed out that although 20 projects now are in full swing in the state, employing 608 men, the $900,000 in projects for the state have been delayed by lack of treasury ac- tion, despite approval of President Roosevelt, who allotted the sums to the state, he said. “We want 8000 men at work on projects in North Dakota,” Moodie said. “Action by the treasury de- partment to allot the necessary funds must first be made before the work can be started. The approvals of these projects have been here for three weeks, awaiting the treasury okeh.” Men now are at work in CCC camps, reforestation programs and on high- way. department projects, sponsored by WPA, Moodie said.

Allen, former governor of Kansas and nationally known news- paper publisher until he forsook his desk in 1928, related after an inter- view with Il Duce that the author of the Black Shirt movement apparent- ly is resigned to a general European re “Apparently he believes frankly that England means war,” said 1» & former United States senator. The premier told Allen he appreciated American neutrality in the Italo- Ethiopian conflict. At the same moment in Paris Pre- mier Laval, whose efforts to solve the riddle of East African peace have been in noteworthy contrast to the militant attitude of Great Britain, talked with the ambassadors of Lon- don and Rome under encowragment from Pope Pius. A usually reliable source said Laval had urged Britain to ease up on its drive for sanctions for 10 days on the theory that the current easing of the Italian drive on the northern front has political im- plications, Would Give Duce Time Those 10 days, said the Geneva cor- respondent of L'Oeuvre, will give Mussolini time to respond to peace overtures made by Laval through Baron Pompeo Aloisi, head of the Italian delegation to Geneva. Meantime activity punctuated by all manner of reports, went on at the Washington, Oct. 15—()—Contin-| French uance of direct relief allotments to states at least until December was in prospect Tuesday because of the de- lay in getting the work relief program started.
