Lee Wyman increas- a defense peremptory challenges to At the prior trial of Langer and the trio, the defense was limited to 10 peremptory challenges. ‘Tuesday, MILLER RETURNS WEINSTEIN’S BONDS Bondsmen who forfeited $5,000 security for William Weinstein, al- leged Bismarck bootlegger, in fed- eral district court’ recently, were returned the bonds Tuesday through reinstatement by Judge Andrew Miller. Weinstein'’s bond was forfeited when he failed to appear in fed- eral court for the start of his trial on liquor harges. He pleaded he had overslept, but was given a $250 fine for contempt of court. He was unable to raise the fine and is still being held in the county jail. Chief Defense Counsel Francis Mur- phy won his contention the charges should be considered separately for each defendant insofar as peremp- tories were considered. Judge Wyman held the defense en- titled to 40 peremptories—10 for cach defendant—while the government would be entitled to 24 peremptories. The jurybox was filled to overflow with excess prospective jurors moving into seats lining the walls of the courtroom. Additional Panel Doubted Although the number of peremptory challenges was greatly increased, it was doubtful, court attaches said, an additional jury panel would be sum- moned. Two women have been called and passed as prospective jurors in the case, Mrs. A. W. Newman of Niagara and Mrs, J. Wolf of Grand Forks. Judge Wyman, who also presided at the recently-concluded conspiracy trial of the four which ended in dis- agreement, denied a defense challenge of the jury array at the beginning of the trial. ; The defendants, Langer, Frank A. Vogel, former state highway commis- sioner, R. A. Kinzer, former secretary of relief, and Oscar E, Erickson, chairman of the Republican state central committee—in their challenge: claimed they would not receive a “fair and unbiased” trial, alleging the sys- tem of jury selection was “contrary to federal statute.” Point Out ‘Relation’ In their affidavit, the defendants pointed out the perjury action was “loosely related to the conspiracy ac- tion”—the federal conspiracy charges upon which the quartet was tried (Continued on Page Seven) NEW AUTO SALES IN STATE DOUBLE °34 854 Units Purchased During November; Brings Year's Total to 5,586 With November new car sales in North Dakota double the figure for that month s year ago, the increase for the first 11 months of 1934 was boosted to 5,586 over the same period by Commercial Service, Inc., showed sales totaling 854. or 442 more than in that month last year.

NIGHT CLUBS HELP BUSINESS, ASSERTS LEGION PERFORMER Pat Kelly Brings Ponies and Monkeys for ‘Night in Monte Carlo’ Act Pat Kelly, 40 years in show busi- ness, unloaded his outfit in Bismarck Monday. After parking his four ponies, three monkeys and his dogs at a local stable and his daughter Bernice at a hotel, Kelly dropped into the Tribune office and “fanned” a little about the show business. \, It is true, he said, that. he has played some of the finest theaters in the country—but he also has appear- ed in some of the worst. When he. left home in Illinois to join a circus, he said, the first place t showed was at Sioux rails, a a t 3 wagon show and. wl went trons ceva another it just started off across the country, for there weren’t any roads in much of the west in those days. In his day, Kelly said, he was a tight-wire performer of some ability and had a highly-paid act which in- cluded himself, his wife and a young man who was the first man ever to do @ somersault on the tight wire. It was a popular act, Kelly said, and went along well, even after his wife retired from the circus for the more important. job of rearing babies. Then he got “nigger rich” the old showman recalled and went into busi- ness for himself, organizing a motor- ized circus with 87 trucks. But he was @ better showman than he was a business manager and that. enterprise folded up. For the dast eight years he has been on the road with his present act, playing theaters and fairs throughout the country. He came here from the Beacon theater in Winnipeg,.he said. and then offered the observation that pe show business is brightening up a Increased demand for entertainment by night clubs has put many actors also are working their way back into theaters as part of the feature bills which include movies, Both he and his animals will wel- come the two-day rest granted them by the fact that the American Le- gion’s “A Night in Monte Carlo” bil: will not open until Wednesday: night. Although he has three monkeys, Kelly said, only one of them will ap- pear with the show here. The trio consists of & papa, mama and baby monkey and the latter still is nursing, he sald, with the ‘result that mama monkey is reluctant to appear before an audience. Papa monkey carries on as usual in the show and does his best to keep the peace at home where mama monkey, possibly beset by fears for her offspring, frequently makes life miserable for him, Kelly observed with @ laugh, High lights of his act, he said, are the performances of his daughter on the tight wire and that of “Cupid,” ® trained pony wich can count, teil time, the day of the week and perform other feats of intelligence. The four ponies also do a drill which Kelly said is unique in the show business. Fired Reporters Win Argument With Paper’ Newark,/N.

While Premier Mussolini created a “brain trust” to remodel the Italian diet along war-time lines and the British treasury offered two gigantic loans—part of which may be used for defense—it was learned the king of kings has appealed to the supreme authority of the Coptic Christian church for aid. Ethiopia's ruler would have the patriarch Johannes intervene with the Italian government to establisn a basis for peace conversations with the Fascist minister to Cairo about the middle of the month. The request was made through Abuna (high bishop) Cyril, former Egyptian monk who was chosen by the patriarch to rule the Ethiopian church. Called Into Conference Official sources at Cairo said Haile Selassie called in the abuna for a conference last Wednesday, the day before he began a 175-mile journey from Addis Ababa to Dessye to estab- lish a field headquarters with his ‘oops. Previously, the emperor had appeal- ed to the League of Nations to ral vene in behalf of peace. As the League of Nations boycott began to evidence its effectiveness in Italy, the British treasury announced it had offered loans iotaiing about $1,458,000,000. Since this comes at a time when Europe is feariul of an ovtbreak of war incident to tension over the Italo-Ethiopian conflict, the news aroused speculation as to how much of the sum migut be used to strengthen -nattonat ‘defenses. The exchequer did not specify the government's piurpose in floating the loans, but downtown London sur- mised two-thirds of the total would be needed to redeem bonds bearing higher rates of interest. Forecast Oil Embargo Authoritative sources in London meantime predicted an oil embargo against Italy would be added by the League of Nations under British pres- sure to the present arms, financial ind economic sanctions and selected key products embargo. The league's sanctions committee of 18 meets Dec. 12 at Geneva. The Italian government was not caught napping. Premier Mussolini’s cabinet met the threat of an oil em- bargo with plans for increasing its supplies of oil and reducing use of the fuel. It was estimated that if sanctions reduced imports and exports to half their’ normal amount of about $80,- 000,000 each month, the cut would be equivalent to wages for nearly a mil- lion men, Italians on Guard At Makale, the Ethiopian village about 60 miles from the Eritrean bor- der which the Italians entered a fort- night ago, the advent of the feast day of St. George, battle saint of the Ethiopians, put the Fascist northern army on guard against any surprise attack, Fascist scouts reported enemy bands were almost in contact with jdistant Italian outposts. From Addis Ababa came word that Ethiopia will soon launch an army of 400,000 against Italian strongholds in the north, with the first major offenseive Possibly on this feast day. Another king, George of Britain, conveyed to his parliament the warn- ing: “The fulfillment of our inte:na- tional obligations under the (League) covenant, no less than the adequate safeguarding of the empire, makes it urgently necessary that deficiencies in the defense forces be made good.” King George added that his gov- ernment would ask parliament to pass laws “limited to the minimum re- quired for these two purposes.” The British government's fcveign policy, said the king, “will, as here- tofore, be based on the firm support of the League of Nations.” ...4a1 |Protestants to Obey + 410 God, Not Nazi Chief 4.00 Berlin, Dec. 3.—(#)—Germany’'s 3.00 | Protestant Confessional Synod offered —— |open opposition Tuesday to Nazi dic- ---$500.41 |tation.

(Associated Press Photo) FDR LIMNS RURAL PROJECT PLANNING ‘Not Enough Money in Treas- ury’ to Develop All Plans, Though, He Says Blue Springs, Ga., Dec. 3—(#)—Re- striction of government activity in the field of rural resettlement to planning and setting of examples is the view of President Roosevelt as he attacks the job of cutting emer- gency expenditures. He made this plain Monday in cit-! ing the Pine Mountain Valley com- munity settlement—one of the first federal undertakings of the kind—as a “dream come true” and an exam- ple for similar efforts by counties throughout the nation. Talking briefly to the settlers of the Pine Valley community, the pres- ident said he thought there were a million families in the United States as well as the 250 contemplated for} this spot “that have a right to work toward better ltving conditions.” “But it is pretty clear,” he said, “that the government can’t do this in every community. There is not enough money in the treasury.” BANKERS GOBBLE UP FEDERAL SECURITIES Morgenthau Delighted by Full) Subscription in One Banking Day Washington, Dec, 3. — (#) — The treasury’s books were closed Tuesday on its $900,000,000 financing venture. Pull subscription in one banking day evoked expressions of “delight” from Secretary Morgenthau. The bankers, their coffers overflow- ing with surplus cash, quickly took up the issues of notes and bonds de- signed to finance winter - relief and give the government some “pocket money.” With the loan, the public debt rose to $30,500,000,000, a new top. The issues were $450,000,000 in 1% per cent notes and the same amount in 2% per cent bonds of 1945-47, and constituted the largest bloc of fi- tancing in a year. In addition to this offering of se- 000 in 2% per cent treasury notes ma- turing Dec. 15 may exchange them for additional notes or bonds of the new issue, ° With the new cash the treasury’s working balance is expected to be about $2,000,000,000, unless there is a heavy outflow in the next couple of 215 in Last 11 Mon‘ curties for cash, holders of $418,000,~ | £ BENEFIT PAYMENTS TO BE DISTRIBUTED AT 10 RYE MEETINGS 3,701 Checks Made Out to 70 Per Cent of Control Con- tract Signers SOME PAYMENTS DELAYED 400 County Tillers Eligible for Participation in New Rye Program AAA wheat checks totaling $134,- 189.21 have been received here and will be distributed to Burleigh county farmers at @ series of 10 rye meet- ings to be held this week, beginning Wednesday.

Maynard, RFC representative in Min- neapolis, said Monday, has existed “for several months.” Maynard, director of the Recon- struction Finance _ corporation’s agency in Minneapolis, made the statement before more than 50 state directors of government organizations conferring here over coordination methods. N. D. Gorman of Fargo, state county agent leader, said North Dakota farm- ers received $16,480,000 in 1935 corn and hog bonus payments. Morris Katz of Fargo, assistant col- lector of internal revenue, said North Dakota gets more from the govern- ment in exchange than it put into the AAA. The wheat processing tax re- sulted in only $822,501 in collections from North Dakota while the state got more than $16,000,000 in benefits, he said.
