Cleveland, June 11.—(#)—The Re- publican platform finally emerged at noon Thursday from the resolutions subcommittee of the national conven- tion, after a number of changes had been made at the request of Gov. Alf M. Landon, of Kansas prospective nominee. Members of the subcommittee said Landon had been given almost every- thing he asked in changes of the original compromise platform, except a plank for @ constitutional amend- ment to permit minimum wage leg- islation by states. Two of Landon's high command said the demand for this plank would be carried to the full committee which meets this afternoon. Some committee members said, however, that former Senator Henry Allen of Kansas, one of Landon’s chief platform spokesmen, was sat- isfied with the form in which the document emerged from the subcom- mit Contest of the will of the late George D. Mann, publisher of The Bismarck Tribune until the time of his death last March, was filed in Burleigh county probate court Wed- nesday afternoon by- his daughter, Edith Eleanor Mann. Hearing on the contest was set for 2 p. m., on June 30. The provision in the will which the action seeks to upset reads as follows: “In disposing of my estate as in this will provided, I am not unmind- ful of my daughter, Edith Eleanor Mann, but I am making no provision that she has already been well pro- vided for through a settlement made with her mother at the time of our divorce.” Phe “sefiletnént refetred” to'In the, will was made with Mrs, Beatrice Coulter Mann of Dickinson, first wife of Mr. Mann and mother of the con- testant, in 1927. Revisions Cause Delay aeeeaee demand for revisions in the compromise platform completed by the subcommittee Wednesday night had delayed presentation of the party program to the convention ‘Thursday. It was expected to reach the convention floor tonight. Some of the platform rewriting asked by Landon was said by com- mittee members to be chiefly a mat- ter of phraseology, but among the significant demands were: Inclusion of a platform pledging civil service status for all govern- ment employes below the rank of cabinet. Reinstatement of a plank for con- trol of interstate public utilities. Condemn Trade Pacts Revision of a plank condemning the New Deal's reciprocal tariff law and demanding that trade treaties be ratified by the senate. A Landon demand for a “pay as you go” tax program to finance so- cial security was accepted finally by the subcommittee after once being rejected. As it emerged from the subcom- mittee, the platform came close to confirming to the demands of Sena- tor Borah of Idaho. No changes were made by the sub- committee in major platform pro- visions, including the following: A monetary plank calling for “sound money,” but omitting men- tion of the “gold standard.” A foreign affairs plank, pledging opposition to American membership in the League of Nations and the World Court. Borah An anti-monopoly pledge strong enough to win the approval of Borah, who thade it his chief campaign is- sue. A farm plank stressing state's rights. A strong state's rights trend ran through the entire platform. It was stressed in the social mer. | farm turned over to Mrs. Beatrice Coulter Mann. The bonds are secured by a/| mortgage on The Bismarck Tribune and are a prior lien to all rights of the beneficiaries named in the will. The judgment in that case made it the duty of Mrs. Beatrice Coulter are, main- of Edith Eleanor Mann and specified that the Payment made was understood by both parties to the divorce proceed- ing “to provide amply for the care of said daughter, and that as part of the consideration of said property settlement the defendant (Mrs. Bea- trice Coulter Mann) has assumed the obligation of the care, maintenance and education of the said daughter, Edith Eleanor Mann.” The will offered for probate leaves the bulk of the late publisher's estate in trust for his widow, Stella I. Mann, with bequests to his sister, Josephine Mann, and his invalid brother, Fred Mann, for the duration of their lives.

S. Constitution We Will March Forward’ HEADS FOR TEXAS SPEECHES Cites Jefferson’s Courage in Louisiana Purchase as Parallel for Work Houston, Texas, June 11.—(?)— President Roosevelt paid tribute to .| Texas’ pioneers on the battlefields of San Jacinto Thursday, asserting “liberty-loving people will always do battle for principles they believe to be right.” He spoke at the site where Sam Houston defeated Santa Anna. ‘Men fought here for principles they loved more dearly than their own lives,” Roosevelt said. “Civiliza- tion, alas, has not yet made it un- necessary for men to die in battle to sustain principle. It is, however, my hope that in this generation the United States, by its own example, can maintain and help to maintain principles by means of peace rather than. by means of war.” Describing the people of Mexico as “our now friendly neighbors,” the president traced Texas’ fight for in- dependence from the Mexican gov- ernment of 100 years ago. President Roosevetl rode into Texas Thursday, pledged to continuation of his efforts to solve economic and so- cial problems under the “broad pur- herein for her benefit for the reason’ poses” of the constitution. Beyond State Lines Addressing an open air Arkansas centennial throng at Little Rock late | Wednesday, the~ president’ declared the constitution of the government extends beyond state lines and added: “Under its broad purpose we can and intend to march forward, believ- ing as the overwhelming majority of ; Americans believe, that it is intended | to meet and fit the amazing physical, ‘economic and social requirements that confront us in this generation.” Declaring the “common man” must. be protected from the “privileged few,” he asserted the nation was “commencing to solve” the questions relating to prices, wages, hours of la- bor, conditions of employment, fair competition and social security, and added: “The new approach to these prob- lems may not be immediately dis- cernable; but organization to meet human suffering can never be predi- cated on the relaxation of human effort.” Crowd Cheers Him The crowd which overflowed the 30,000-seat centennial stadium on the outskirts of Little Rock, cheered his statement that if local or state gov- ‘ernments were unable to improve the economic position of their inhabi- tants “it would take a foolish and short-sighted man to say that it is no concern of the national government itself.” ‘They cheered again when he said Jefferson had the “courage and back- | > bone” to go through with the Louis- jana purchase which carved out the territory of Arkansas and other fu- ture states, without the “full and unanimous approval of every member of the legal profession.’ He added Jefferson ignored warn- ings that no specific authority exist- ed in the constitution for the pur- terpret that its “inherent qualities of pare N.

June 11—@)— ‘Three crazed killers and a demented bank looter, known to officials as the “dangerous core” of the lunatic band that bolted the state asylum, Thursday still roamed at large. Whereabouts of three, known to have abandoned a car near the Towa line, was a matter of specula- tion. The fourth, Frank Gibson, con- victed murderer, was reported “cor- nered” by state police and sheriff's officers three miles north of St. Peter, in dense brush. Lawrence DeVol, mad Barker-Kar- pis gang machine-gunner who engi- neered the break Sunday night in which 16 crazed men gained freedom, was believed heading through Iowa toward a former hideout in the Ozark mountins of Missouri. With DeVol, who was convicted of murdering three men, were believed to be Albert Saroko, convicted killer, and Donald Reader, mentally de- ranged bank robber.

Paris, June 11.—(#)—Premier Leon Blum marched his labor reform pro- gram toward a legislative vote Wed- nesday amid fresh strikes and dis- orders. Cafe, restaurant and hotel employes declared a general strike and paraded through the streets of the capital. The government moved swiftly to obtain parliamentary approval of the first bills to grant strikers’ demands. A special study committee of 33 mem- bers of the chamber of deputies ap- proved the proposals after the So- cialist premier had given his personal endorsement. Employer Shoots Worker The most serious of scattered dis- turbances since the “folded arms” strike began followed attempts of the operator of a boat works to evacuate his factory. When the workers re- fused to leave, the employer produced @ revolver and shot one of his men in the leg. The employer was ar- rested. The French capital’s world-famous fashion shops closed when dress-| cash, makers’ apprentices and models walked out.

Under arrest are Tom King, 42, of Detroit, Mich.; Ross Carter, 30, of Limestone, Mass., and Martha Cran- dall, 18, of Gladstone, Ore. King and the girl were picked up by Motorcycle Patrolman Frank Yeater. Yeater spotted the pair as they drove around town, became sus- picious of their actions and overtook them just east of the Memorial bridge. Two Charges Against Trio Searching the automobile, Yeater discovered articles which tallied to the description of ‘those taken from the Ellendale store and held the pair on charges of having stolen property in their possession and carrying conceal- ed weapons. Later in the evening, he and Pa- trolman Ryder Hamro went to a cabin at the Coman Tourist court where they arrested Carter. According to C. A. Miller, head of the state bureau of criminal identi- fication, Carter and Miss Bell have confessed to the three robberies, but King still maintains his innocence. At Fargo, two bandits, one armed, held up the proprietor of the Graver hotel and bell boy and escaped with $118 after forcing the duo into the elevator. Miss Crandall admitted driv- ing the car during both of the hotel robberies, Miller stated. Car Believed Stolen Included in the articles recovered in the automobile, which police say was stolen from Salem, Ore., were several men’s dress shirts, overhauls, an add- ing machine and a small amount of | ce will probably be held here to stand trial on a charge of carrying concealed weapons while King and Miss Crandall will undoubtedly be muned over to Fargo authorities, Miller stated. Both men have previous criminal| day We records. King served in the Michigan state penitentiary for conviction on an auto theft charge and was sei tenced at Walla Walla, Wash., on a charge of carrying concealed weapons. Carter spent one year in the Wash- ington state penitentiary at Monroe for grand larceny and two years at Walla Walla for burglary.

Convention Hall, Cleveland, June 11—(AP)—With the nomination of Gov. Alf M. Landon of Kansas for the presidency conceded on all sides, the Republican convention struggled into late hours Thursday to compose its platform differences, name a ticket and get back home. Both Col. Frank Knox of Illinois and Senator Arthur Van- denberg of Michigan were mentioned as most likely for the vice presidential nomination; but Vandenberg has said repeat- edly he would not accept. He urged Knox. They and all the other erstwhile rivals of “the sunflower candidate” decided not even to have their names presented for president. Gov. Harry W. Nice of Maryland was the latest to with- draw Thursday as favorite son candidate and urged nomination of Landon. Senator William E. Borah still would not say whether he would campaign for the ticket. He seemed satisfied with the platform draft, as it stood ue the debate—but said cryptically “the candidate is the platform.” NYE REFUSES OFFER TO RUN WITH LANDON FOR VICE PRESIDENT Offered Mite ss on Ticket by Group of Western Dele- gates, He Says The fifth session had to be recessed until mid-afternoon before the long- awaited platform was ready. The policy subcommittee, worn from its long hours, finally left out any direct mention of the gold stand- ard and made no recommendation for a constitutional amendment for state minimum wage legislation. Borah Wins Point Borah won out for a declaration against joining the League of Nations or the World Court, and a pledge to at- tack the monopoly problem. One after another of the Landon competitors withdrew their names while the great mass of yet footloose delegates joined up. Whether the im- Pending platform debate would be as harmonious was in doubt. The tenor of their assertions was the same, in the words of Knox: “The crisis in national affairs de- mands complete harmony.” Again the floor slow in getting under way as the weary delegates awaited the still-working platform builders. Hamilton Is Silent John Hamilton, the energetic Lan- don manager smilingly declined to talk about the vice presidential nom- ination. The principal talk heard was Knox. His long-time friend and fellow news- Paperman in youth, Vandenberg, re- marked to reporters he “rather” thought Knox should be chosen. Knox disclosed he had been with “some of my friends” about the vice-presidential nomination. Ready to Hear Nominators Once the platform arguments could be completed, Chairman Bertrand ‘Snell was ready to call for the nom- inating speeches. The biggest break yet to Governor. Landon came when 85 of the 90 New York votes went over. John D. M.

Nye, North Dakota, said Thursday he had been “offered” the second highest honor the Republican party can bestow upon one of its members—the vice presidential nomi- nation. Nye said he had been offered the place on the ticket by a “group” of “western delegates” but declined to disclose their identity. He said the offer was for him to campaign as a Saeed mate to Governor Landon of The xine invitation was received “cordi- ally” Nye said, but he flatly refused to consider acceptance. Mentioned Months Ago Nye’s name was mentioned several months ago by men high in the Farmer-Labor councils of Minnesota as a possible presidential candidate for perhaps a new liberal movement but the North Dakota senator denied any such intention.
