Act Minot Men Claim That Fee for Permit Is Confiscatory in Court Appeal Affecting similar regulations ii oth- er cities and villages in North Dako- ta, the appeal of the city of Minot from a district court decision con- struing its beer ordinance, is sched+ uled to be heard soon by the state su- preme court. Involved in the appeal are three questions for determination by the high court, whether beer license fees charged by the city of Minot are ex- orbitant and illegal; whether the city has the right under the state beer law to collect a beer license fee pro- ducing more revenue for the city than required to pay for regulation as @ restrictive factor, and whether the city has the right to prohibit sale of beer after 2 a. m. Sundays. The appeal, taken from the district court of Ward county, grew out of an action begun by J. O. Fylken, Ed Ehr, Petra Peterson, Minot recrea- tion parlors, John Syversen and Lewis J. Stewart, all retailers of beer, against the city of Minot. Attack Ordinance The plaintiffs attacked the Minot beer ordinance, claiming the $200 an- nual fee for class A licenses was con- fiscatory, and that the city had no power to tax their businesses under the general state laws. They also maintained state laws permitted sale of beer on Sundays, and that sale of beer required no greater amount of policing than be- fore legalization of beer in the state. ‘They asked a restraining order against the city, enjoining municipal officers from licenses be- cause of non-payment of ‘the $200 fee, or because of Sunday. operation. The city resisted the st; maintaining it was within its. clude “irresponsible and disorderly Persons.” Beer Not Intoxicating In its order, the lower court de- creed, “beer, under our law is not in- toxicating. There can be no excuse for higher licenses for the sale of beer than for any other drink sold to quires no greater police regulation than a drug store.” The district court also held a fair and proper fee or class A licenses in Minot should be “$60; for Class D li- cam $25 and for class E licenses, 10.” “The sale of beer is not a work of necessity.” the lower court decreed,” and its sale, therefore, on Sunday is illegal.” Intervening in the supreme court appeal action, as “friend of the court,” is Matthew W.

RESOURE ON ITALY | TO HALT ACTIVITY > South Africa, Australia and Li- beria Join Movement to Support Boycott LIST NOW TOTALS NINE Planes Raid Ethiopian Lines; Major Battle Believed to Be Impending (By the Associated Press) More decisions to boycott, more bombs and an expression of “gravest concern” by the King of England marked the Italo-Ethiopian situation today. Three more nations—South Africa, Australia and Liberia—notified the League of Nations they had accepted the plan of enonomic boycott against Italy. That makes nine countries al- together. King George, prolonging parliament, said he felt the “gravest concern” over the Italo-Ethiopian situation. More than 200 bombs were droped by Italian planes (said a Reuters-British- dispatch) on Gabradarre, which maps do not show but which is believed somewhere near Harar, Seven of Haile Selassie’s soldiers were wounded, the dispatch said. President Roosevelt said he would make a prompt reply to inquiries about America’s attitude toward sanctions, but he indicated there was little choice for America, whose course is dictated by the neutrality law. May Restate Attitude That strengthened the feeling in some quarters that the reply would be used as a vehicle for a re-statement of | the United. States’ attitudé to keep}, ff things which do not con- cern it. The neutrality resolution under which this country now oper- ates does not permit the application of many sanctions like those used by the league. ‘With their women behind, shrieking, singing, crying, and with the bless- ings of ‘their church on théir colors, 12,000 of Haile Selassie’s smartest war- riors swept southward from the city of Harar Friday to meet Italy's chal- ‘the public generally and therefore re- | lenge. Ahead moved 2,000 camels, laden with munitions and supplies. Behind came infantry, cavalry and anti-air- craft corps, all well equipped and all ready to strike back at the soldiers of Rome. Tom Toms Summon Defenders All Ethiopia echoed to the tom- toms of war, unaware mostly and seemingly. unconcerned about the talk of peace that was gaining more assur- ance among the diplomats of Europe’s capitals. There was a Paris account that said Mussolini, holding forth a tentatt' olive branch, was ready to concede Britain’s right to mass its fleet in the Mediterranean even though he has ordered 15,000 of his soldiers to return from Libya; and that under some conditions he was ready to order & stop to his military operations against Ethiopia. From Addis Ababa came word that individual diplomatic moves for peace The total casualties among Ethiop- fans in bombing operations along the Shibeli river, the Ras said, were six dead and three wounded.

Domestically, he noted the king- dom’s “further considerable advance toward prosperity” in a speech which was read by Lord Hailsham before the assembled houses of commons and lords, The address included the para- graph which appears in all the king’s peace-time + “My relations with foreign po tinue to be friendly.” z ferring to the Italo-Ethfipien crisis, the speech said: “The critical situation which has unhappily arisen between Itely and Ethiopia has aroused my gravest concern, Has Sought Settlement “From the moment that dispute oc- curred between the two countries as @ result of a frontier incident in De- cember of last year, my government have exerted themselves to the ut- most, both individually and in co- operation with other states, mem- bers of the League of Nations, to pro- mote a peaceful settlement. “To my regret, these persistent en- deavors did not avail to prevent a recource to force, and my government have loyally supported the efforts of the League of Nations with a view to restoration of peace and achieve- ment of an equitable settlement in the spirit of the covenant.” Reviewing the recent steps for ex- pansion of the British air force, the Expanding Air Force “While my government have not ceased and will not cease their con- tinuing efforts to promote limitation and reduction by international agree- ment of all forms of armament, it has been found impossible to postpone expansion of the royal air force to a strength’ which will enable it to fulfill its vital duties in national and imperial defense; and the pro- necessary to give effect to this has now been undertaken.” Ref to the home economic situation, the king said: “A more confident spirit of indus- try, continued growth in national revenue and prudent, successful man- agement of our financial affairs have permitted a further considerable ad- vance toward prosperity.” At the conclusion of the speech, which occupied nine minutes, the let- ters of patent were read after which Lord Hailsham announced in the Purely ‘The date was purely formal since it will be wiped out as soon as the proc- Jamation dissolving parliament is issued.

TWO OTHER VICTIMS OF GANG GUNS DIE AS POLICE SEEK KILLER New York Racketeer Chieftain ~ Suecumbs Mumbjing. Un- intelligible. Words See Newark, N. Ji, Oct. 25—(P)—New- ark police held the young widow of Arthur (Dutch Schultz) Flegen- heimer Friday in the hope she can supply some clue in a sweeping search for the assassins of the gang chief- tain and three henchmen, The 2l-year-old woman, Mrs. Frances Flegenheimer, was booked as @ material witness Thursday night, less than three hours after Schultz died of the wounds inflicted by rival gang bullets. The racketeer died at 8:35 p. m. Thursday in City hospital, deliriously mumbling words which those by his' bedside could not understand. Bernard Rosenkrantz, Schultz’s chauffeur and one of the quartet mowed down in a cafe gun battle ‘Wednesday night, died early Friday. Two Others Dead Otto Berman and Abraham Lan- dau, alias Leo Frank, the other mem- bers of Schultz’s party, preceded their leader in death. Martin Krompier, who met a hail of bullets in a New York barber shop. about two hours after the Newark shooting, was in a critical condition in a New York hospital. New York detectives pressed their search for Albert Stein, 21-year-old mobster suspected of several recent killings in the outbreak of gang war-) fare in the metropolitan area. Police believed the attempt to wipe out the Schultz gang was a move of rival mobs to gain control of rackets estimated to produce as much as $100,000,000°a year in revenue in the tropolitan district.
