eg - ‘BEACH Mike Dennino Succumbs to Wound Inflicted on Him- self After Killing Mike Dennino, 64-year-old Italian, difer at the state penitentiary, died at 10 ». m., Tuesday night from the ef- ects of @ gunsnot wound which he ¢nflicted upon himself when attempt- ing to commit suicide after the slay- ing of two Beach, N. D., women in 1933. Physicians said the direct cause of death was a paralytic stroke. Sen- tenced on a first degree murder charge to serve the rest of his natural life in prison on May 31, 1933, Den- nino was brought to the state prison on a stretcher, partially paralyzed by the wound in his side. During his two and a half year stay @t the state institution he was fre- quently subject to epileptic attacks ‘and his strength ebhed away fast in the last two months. Because it is mandatory in this estate, a coroner's jury was drawn ‘Wednesday by Dr. L. W. Larson, coun- ty coroner. Dennino has no known relatives in the United States and as yet no ar- rangements have been made for his burial. He is the second prisoner, serving a life sentence at the peniten- tiary, to die within the last month.

Because more than any other man in modern history, he was keenly aware of the fact that to be a king is to live in a gilded cage and Edward Albert in his manifold activities was unusually loathe to enter that cage. It meant changing his entire mode of life. “Loses Prince's Freedom As Prince of Wales, he was not entirely a free man, but he had far more freedom than his royal father. As Prince of Wales he had his many public duties and functions to per- form. Much of his time was not his own. But there were still left over many hours and days which he could . enjoy like any other well-born Eng- lish man of means. He could go off to Melton Mow- bray and ‘without fuss or feathers, indulge in his favorite pastimes of riding to the hounds or racing in hurdle races. In London he could ‘unobtrusively buy a couple of seats WEATHER FORECAST For Bismarck and vicinity: Snow’ tonight and Thursday, rising temperature.

PICK FOURTH JUROR IN KID CANN'S TRIAL ed Liggett Fade, Detec- tives Say Minneapolis, Jan. © 22—(4)—The fourth juror to hear the trial of Isa- dore (Kid Cann) Blumenfeld, for the murder of Walter W. Liggett, crusad- ing Minneapolis weekly publisher, was selected in Hennepin county district court Wednesday. He is Armand L. Evans, 24, hard- ware clerk. Further developments Wednesday included: The collapse of state investigators’ hopes they had found the locality of the machine gun that fired the fatal bullet into the back of Walter W. Liggett Dec. 9. Investigators had gone to the vic- inity of MacGregor, Minn. where information led them to believe a ma- chine gun had been hidden, the gun, their informant told them, was the/ one used in the Liggett murder. A thorough check of the vicinity failed to disclose the weapon’s where- abouts. Most Excused For Bias Of the 30 veniremen thus far ex- amined, most of them were excused for actual bias, based on opinions al- ready expressed or formed in their) minds after reading newspaper ac- counts of the killing and subsequent | arrest of Blumenfeld, or from a per-} usal -of the “Midwest American,” weekly newspaper published by Lig- gett. is Thomas W. McMeekin, counsel for Blumenfeld, disclosed he will sum- mon a doctor and his wife from Mil- waukee, Wis. in a move to impeach the testimony of Wesley Andersch, eye witness who the state intends to call as one of its principal witnesses. The three jurors previously selected are Mrs. Harry Rydell, wife of an osteopath; Harry Young, WPA work-! er and former railroad switchman, | and Edward E. Pettit, electrician.

Although cost of the legislation is estimated by its backers at $1,000,000,- 000 immediately and $2,391,000,000 when all the $50 bonds are cashed, the bill provides no method of ob- taining the cash, Rep. Christianson (Rep.-Minn.) was the only northwest representative to vote against the bonus. VETERANS ASKED TO CONTACT LOCAL POSTS Fargo, N. D., Jan. 22.—(#)—Through @ setup perfected by the department headquarters of the North Dakota American Legion, 200 Legion posts in the state will assist in administration work in connection with the payment of adjusted compensation certificates or “bonus” authorized by congress Wednesday, Jack Williams, depart- mental adjutant, announced. Wil- Mams urged all service men to contact their local Legion post. Forms for applicants wil go’ out to local posts as soon as they are available. Only cash available before June 15, the adjutant explained, will be in amounts less than $50 as the baby bonds are of that denomination. For example, if a veteran had a certificate of face value of $990 and a loan of $445 had been made on that certifi- cate previously, only $45 in cash would be immediately available. The balance would be given him in eight $50 bonds which may be cashed on or any time after June 15 at full face value. ix City and County An eye-witness account of the brief Louis-Retzlaff fight at Chicago will be given members of the American Legion when they meet at Fort Lin- coln Thursday night as a compliment to those members still in army service I CONTINUED) Bismarck Will Make Strangers Welcome prove the appearance of Meant ged and boulevards and the planting o! shrubs and trees in appropriate loca- cand ro tions.

Result of Experience Conklin said the idea for a more obvious hospitality had been developed by the experiences of a committee which during the last year had gt- tempted to assist in finding office space and otherwise aiding various governmental agencies which have been located here. He gave special thanks to Thomas H. Moodie, WPA director; E. A. Willson, head of the late FERA and now executive of the state welfare board, and R. B. Cum- mins, state director of the national emergency council, for their coopera- tion in’ making the committee’s work successful. The 1936 program was presented following reports on 1935 activities, made by James W. Guthrie, a retiring member of the board of directors, and the introduction of guests by George F. Shafer, vice president of the asso- ciation. Shafer pointed out that 1,100 Bis- marck residents are on public pay- rolls, 500 being employed by the state and 600 by the federal government, and that they are a social, cultural and moral asset to the community as well as a commercial asset. Recount- ing his own experience as a public officer, he said public officials feel that they are in temporary positions but that the city should make a real effort to incorporate them in its daily activities. Chief among the guests was Gov. Walter Welford who called on the) association to assist in solving the seed wheat problem faced by many farmers. Much of the seed available will produce weak plants which will not stand cold, heat or drouth and be be easily subject to disaster, he Cites Possible Effects Pointing out the importance of city and farm cooperation, he said failure of the wheat crop would mean dis- public affairs and thus effect tax re- | Pr tourist traffic through advantages of Bismarck.

Webb, in charge of aviation and the tourist camp, said 2,449 cars carrying approximately 7,347 persons registered at the tourist camp which rated at a profit. “The municipal airport was improved by gravelling and levelling and mark- ing runways and by the installation of boundary, flood and beacon lights. It was asserted to be the finest airport between the Twin Cities and Seattle. Pointing to Bismarck’s already en- viable position on airways maps, ‘Webb said the next step would be ex- tension of the north-south route to Minot, the lighting of that airway and the construction of a modern hangar and administration building at the e \ Reporting for the retail trade com- mittee, C. -R.

H. Dewild, Minneapolis, in a talk on the problems of the retail mer- chant. Merchants to Blame Discussing regulation of advertising in programs, year books “and other promiscuous schemes” the committee said the blame does not altogether rest on the agency having such mat- ters in charge but also on merchants who fail to demand the showing of a solicitor’s card or to say “no” to in- sistent canvassers. The highway committee, headed by John L, Peterson, outlined efforts for road improvements, and for the con- struction of an underpass under the Ne Pacific railroad tracks. Money has been appropriated for permanent improvement of. the road to the airport and Fort Lincoln, plans and specifications have been made for widening No. 10 to a point beyond Apple creek and the committee has constant for the oil-paving of No. 10 throughout the state. ‘The report covered the condition of all roads leading to Bismarck and said cooperation was had with Willis- ton in promotion of the scenic high- way from that city to Bismarck along the Missouri river. Value of tourist traffic to North Dakota in 1934 was estimated at $10,- 000,000, with 1985 well above that figure, .

Brandes was chairman of al men to park their cars in parking lots or side streets. Strict en- forcement of the double-parking rege ulation and installation of traffic sig- nals were recommended. Cooperating in outlining WPA proj- ects, the committee listed as major items the connection of the state pen- sewerage system; riprapping the Missouri river's banks to protect the city’s sewer outlet; pro- motion of improvements at the air- port; @ clean-up of streets, vards and unsightly places and im- provements to the storm water reser- Made. Irrigation Survey Guthrie directed work of the water conservation and irrigation committee and told of the employment of A. L. Fellows to check a survey he previous- ly had made in 1902-03. This showed such a project is feasible from an engineering point of view but that there may be some question as to the economic advisability. The committee is trying te induce the government to make a further sur- vey and establish an experimental ir- rigation project here. The commit- tee also supported the work of the biological survey in North Dakota and the effort to have the sloughs west of McKenzie developed as-a water- fowl refuge. Among miscellaneous items in the report were the entertainment of good-will tours, good-will tours sent out from Bismarck; the establishment of a proper atmosphere for the state basketball tournament in cooperation with school officials; promotion of the state corn show; cooperation with the Federal Housing Administra- tion in a home-building program; an effort to keep the federal shelterbelt in the Missouri river area; a cam- paign for new buildings at Fort Lin- coln; promotion of the community chest and the maintenance of a tour- ist and information bureau. Membership Grows ‘The annual financial report, pre- sented by H. J. Duemeland, showed a 10 per cent gain in membership and comfortable balances in all funds. Dr. H. A. Brandes, president of the association, acted as toastmaster at the dinner and introduced the speaker. ‘The meeting ended with the draw- ing for attendance prizes in which J. L. Barth won a tire jack, donated by the Grant-Dadey company; J. W. Hintgen received « flashlight, donated by Quanrud, Brink and Reibold; G. A.
