~ FAR EASTERN NAVY BASES ARE STUDIED ~ BY THREE POWERS Action Due to Fact Agreement Not to Build in Pacific Has Been Dropped (Copyright, 1936, Assoclated Press) | London, March 26. — The United States and Great Britain followed up Thursday the signing of the new Lon- don naval treaty, a British spokesman taid, with diplomatic conversations with Japan concerning fortifications pnd naval bases in the Far East. The. new pact failed to renew ar- ticle 19 of the Washington naval Umitations ‘treaty, by which the three powers agreed that no new fortifica- tions or naval bases should be estab- lished in designated far eastern terri- tories and possessions. The British naval spokesman said | the diplomatic negotiations over this question were undertaken in answer to a Japanese request for information @s to the future intentions of the} other great sea powers toward the Far East. Japan Did Not Sign Japan did not sign the new treaty. American, British and French dele- gates, however, after signing Wednes- day the accord to replace the expir- ing Washington treaty of 1922 and the London pact of 1920, expressed hope that Japan, as well as Italy, ‘would enter the fold later. Ambassador Dino Grandi declared at the signing ceremony that the mu- tual assistance agreements concluded by Britain with other Mediterranean powers to meet any unprovoked Fas- cist attack barred the way for Italian adherence to the treaty. The United States and Britain were agreed privately, however, to main- tain their navies on an equal level. Americans Sail Norman H. Davis and other mem- bers of the American delegation bade farewell to their associates in the three and one-half months df negoti- ations for the new treaty before sail- ing for home. The delegates expressed confidence that the treaty—bearing “escape’ clauses to ensure liberty of action to meet unexpected developments — would be ratified by the senate at the Present session of congress. The. treaty, raising restrictions on the sizes of navies but limiting the tonnage and gun calibre of classes of ships and providing for exchanges of information on building programs, will go into effect for six years, if ratified, starting Jan. 1, 1937, upon the death of the existing treaties. | Weather Report | WEATHER FORECAST For Bismarck and vicinity: tonight or Snow somewhat warmer.

New vigor and enterprise made The Tribune more interesting to its read- ers and its circulation grew—and as it grew its prestige increased. Though the business management of the newspaper took more and more of his time in later years he never relaxed his watchful pride in its edi-j torial content and frequently took up his trerchant pen to advocate a needed reform or to defend a cher- ished principle. Personally a Republican, he took pride in the independence of The Tribune, was careful to see that it! remained so. Advice was Often Sought As publisher and editor of The Tribune and a leader in the affairs} of his city and state, Mr. Mann had) a wide acq’ aintance throughout this| and other states, and his friends were legion. Because of his wide experi- ence and knowledge of men and at- fairs, his efvice was sought by men in both private and public life. During the political controversies which raged in the state, Mr. Mann always maintained an independent and impartial attitude. His view- point was that a newspaper repre- sents a public trust and in line witn this principle printed the news with-) out fear or favor. His greatest pride was the respect for the integrity of his newspaper frequently displayed by its readers. ‘A believer in the future of Bis- marck, Mr. Mann concentrated his interests here and in 1929 built the beautiful home at Washington St. and Avenue A which he has since occupied. Vigorous in mind and body and possessed of a compelling personality, Mr, Mann enjoyed good health until April 1933, when he was stricken with a heart attack as he was walking; home from work. Kept Right on Walking It was characteristic of his tenacity that, despite the effects of the shock, he continued to walk toward his home and reached there unaided. A series of additional heart attacks followed, however, and from them he never fully recovered. The winter of 1934 was spent in} Florida in an effort to regain his health and the winter of 1935 was spent in California. He had so far recovered in the sum- mer of 1935 as to return occasionally to his office at The Tribune. He had intended to spend part of the winter j in a warmer climate but suffered a recurrence of his heart ailment dur- ing the Christmas season which kept him to his home until February 26, when he had sufficiently recovered to leave for Florida. But the trip tired him. Soon after his arrival at Or- | lando he again became ill and failed | gradually until death came. | In addition to his wife, who before | her marriage was Miss Stella Irene Hilleboe of Grand Forks, he leaves his daughter by a previous marriage, ! Edith Eleanor, and the following| brothers and sisters, Helena and: Naomi Mann of San Diego, Calif.; Josephine Mann, Los Angeles; Mrs. } S. J. La Due, Minot, N. D.; Mrs. Robert Moffat, Roseburg, Ore.; John | C. Mann, Medford, Ore.; and Fred-; erick Mann, St. Paul. He was a member of the Masonic and Elks lodges. Indian Population of | United States Grows Washington, March 26.—(#)—John Collier, commissioner of Indian af- fairs, sald Thursday the Indian popu- lation was increasing more rapidly than that of the rest-of the country “In 1935,” he told a group of visit- | ing Yale students, “the excess of birth over death amounted to 9.2 per thou- sand, a higher percentage than that for either the white or Negro popu- lation.” The reason, Collier said, was the Indian death rate declined. The birth | rate also continued to decrease. Minot Will Be Host To Teacher Division Minot, N.

Some streets and low-lying sections of Wheeling were flooded by the new rise, but little apprehension was felt. At Cincinnati, the river was falling slowly, but steadily. Although the previous rise left damage estimated as high as $200,- 000,000 in the upper valley, tributaries then added little and the southern reaches of the river were low enough to assure a quick carry-off. Forty families left lowland homes at Steubenville, where a 36-foot crest was expected late Thursday. Water stood in the lower end of Wellsburg, W. Va., just across the river, and 60 families moved out. The main street of Brilliant was covered. The Muskingum and Mahoning rivers in Ohio, the Great and Little Kanawhas in West Virginia, and the Big Sandy in Kentucky, continued throwing a heavy volume of water into the Ohio. The Mahoning was falling slowly, however. Stolen Oxygen Tanks Used in S, D. Burglary Two oxygen tanks, stolen from the John Fuehrer and Sons garage at Mc- Kenzie Sunday night, were used by yeggs in an attempted burglary Wed- nesday night of the Citizens State Bank of Andover, 8. D., it was learned here Thursday. Sheriff Henry ©. Johnson of Day county telephoned the state justice department at Pierre, 8. D., that bur- glars entered the Andover bank through a rear window and burned two holes in the safe with a torch but got no loot. Leaving the oxygen tanks behind they escaped. The sheriff traced the two tanks by tags which indicated they had been sold by the Linde Air Products Co, of Fargo to Quanrud, Brink and Rei- fRIBUNE, THURSDAY, MARCH 26, 1936 DOLD AGE PLAN WILL | ° BE EFFECTIVE SOON Assistance for Needy Aged Probably Will Commence Latter Part of April North Dakota's old age assistance plan, already approved by the federal authorities will be placed into opera- {tion probably the latter part of April, E. A. Willson, secretary of the state public welfare board announced Thursday. The welfare group concluded a two day session by appointing two mem- bers, H. C. DePuy of Grafton, presi- dent of the board, and Frank Mil- jhollan, vice president, to form an ad- vistory group with Theodore Martell, commissioner of agriculture and labor. The advisory group will coordinate expenditures for old age assistance of funds allotted under the present old age pension law as administered by Martell, with the new federal-state- county setup. At its meeting the board considered application forms, and Willson stated the applications probably will be sent out to county welfare boards about April 15. nounced later by the board, Willson said, after several necessary details have been completed. The April relief allotments will be made to counties in a week or 10 days, Willson said, for purposes of direct relief. Federal funds to match state and county funds for placing the old age asistance plan into effect have not yet been received. Under the plan aged persons elig- ible for relief will receive assistance up to $30 a month. The average monthly payment is expected to be less than $20, Willson explained. WHEAT EXPORTS JUMP Moscow.—(#)—Soviet Union wheat exports in 1935 were 719,350 metric tons, three times as much as the prev- ious year and near the high level of ee when shipments totaled 748,248 ns, Nationally-Known STETSON bold here. A. E. Brink of the local concern checked back in the records and found that two such tanks had been sold to the McKensle garage. Final confirmation awaits the check of the serial numbers on the tanks but lodal authorities are virtually cer- tain that the same robbers, who es- caped with the acetylene torch and tanks at McKenzie were responsible for the attempted bank burglary. and! First Deficit in Year Reported by Railway St. Paul, March 26.—(?)—The first deficit in a year was reported Wed- nesday by the Great Northern Rail- way, which listed the long sustained frigidity during the month of Febru- ary as the cause.
