Patterson. He said appointment of Michael Ryan, prison employe for 12 years and assistant deputy the last three years, was etfective immediately. Ryan fills a vacancy created by the resignation of Deputy Arthur Max- well following a request by the state board for removal of “some disloyal or’ inefficient” employes as the re- sult of an investigation at the state institution. “No other changes in personnel are gontemplated at the prison other ‘than @ general tightening up of regu- lations in tha institution,” said Wi den Patterson, “but 100 per cent: ef: x ficiency will be established if we have to go down the line.” Asked whether the changes were sufficient to meet their recommenda- tions, board members said it is up to the warden to take whatever initia- tive is required and indicated it re- mained to be seen whether the max- imum efficiency is established. Removal of certain employes was one of the recommendations by the board following an _ investigation which centered around a young un- married inmate who is about to be- come a mother. The board’s report placed respon- sibility for the girl’s condiuon on Floyd Johnson, a life-termer.

Many ducks have died as a result! air M. of the drouth and furred animals such as mi have been seriously reduced in numbers. Natural Feed Limited ‘The principal opportunity for con- structive work, however, lies in estab- lishing feeding stations’ for upland game birds. The volume of natural feed is seriously reduced and if win- ter ts severe with heavy snows the plight of the birds will be desperate, except on the bottom lands near the river where the vegetation is heavier and the feed supplies better. The Sportsmen’s association hopes to organize the entire county by es- tablishing feeding stations before cold weather sets in and by arranging for feeding parties to handle the work in the smaller towns of the cownty such as Wilton, Regan, Wing, Menoken, Sterling, McKenzie and Moffit. Hope to Purchase Grain Sinoe there is no feed in those com- munities, he said, an effort will be made to raise money in Bismarck for the purchase of grain. The first major contribytion to the conservation effort came from the Bismarck Gun club which has agreed to donate 15 cents for each round of targets shot on the locel range dur- ing the remainder of the season, There will be no increase in the cost of the shells or targets and the offer ds. made both help the birds and to induce hunters to‘come.out and get » little shooting practice before the season opens, FUGITIVE BROTHERS LOCATED BY POSSE Woodsmen Ordered to Close in or ‘Starve Out’ Suspects in Triple Slaying Medford, Ore., Sept. 1.—()—Expert woodsmen, carefully picked, were or- dered Tuesday to close in or “starve out” two heavily armed brothers after the suspected triple slayers were re- ported “definitely located” by Sheriff Syd I. Brown. The sheriff said the brothers, sought in connection with killings which grew out of a quarrel over a horse, were tracked by bloodhounds into a heavily-timbered area 20 miles south of the Oregon state line. The brothers, John and Coke Brite, disappeared after two officers and a iplaining witness were clubbed and shot to death at Yreka, Calif., Sunday. California authorities promised pro- tection from lynching as the posse was reported surrounding the fugi- tives in the Siskiyou Mountain wild- erness. Governor Frank E.

S-STATE WATER CONSERVATION PLAN Stand of Two, Years Ago Re- called on Eve of Meeting With President SEES PERMANENT EFFECT Kansan Views Planning Boards as Organizations to Carry Out Program Topeka, Kans., Sept. 1—(7)—Fed- eral-state cooperation for water con- servation, a plan advocated by Gov. . Landon during the 1934 drouth, was recalled by his advisers Tuesday as the Republican presiden- tial nominee prepared for a drouth conference with President Roosevelt. While the Kansan awaited replies on his appeal to railroads for a joint freight rate slash in parched areas, associates cited the stand he took two years ago as a probable indication of his position when he meets the chief executive in Des Moines Thurs- day. In_a letter to President Roosevelt on June 4, 1934, the governor wrote “the development of a compromise Program should proceed from joint action by state and federal author- ities.” Cites Permanent Benefits “Any legislation or any adminis- trative order which leads to immed- jate and effective steps in this direc- tion will create permanent benefits beyond any present conception,” Landon added. “The people of our state have come to a realization of this. Your effort now in meeting the need will be most timely and of great help to present and future genera- tions.” Observing that “no new legislation would be required,” Landon added: “The Kansas planning board, which T have appointed at your suggestion. « .. ts doing what it can in the development ofa water ptogram: May Use Planning Boards “As an alternative to the creation of a new river authority, this plan- ning board, with similar boards of other states, might be given consider- ation as a possible agency for the accomplishment of these purposes.” Kansas officials sald Landon drouth plans embraced a program for en- couraging the building of small farm ponds, reservoirs on creeks and rivers and large lakes as required. After discussing drouth conditions Monday with Governor Walter Wel- ford of North Dakota, Landon dis- patched telegrams to western rail- roads urging that emergency drouth rate reductions apply on joint line hauls to avert “confusion and gross discrimination between farmers.” AMBITION OF BLACK LEGION IS EXPOSED Sought Political Power Which Outran Ability of Mem- bers, Judge Says Detroit, Sept. 1.—(7)—The Black Legion was described by the Oakland county grand jury Tuesday as a ter- rorist organization with political am- titions which far outran the abilities of its members. The report, ‘prepared by Circuit Judge George B. Hartrick, of Pontiac, was submitted as 12 men went on trial here for the Black Legion “ex- ecution” of Charles A. Poole. “As conceived the Black Legion was a klan with a vengeance, to accomplish its objects by force and violence, if necessary; it was a black klan,” said Judge Hartrick’s summary his of the findings of the Oakland county grand jury investigation.

Beginning Tuesday morning a solid line of men, women and children shuffled through the high-arched ro- tunda of the Utah capitol past the open casket of the dead war chief. The body, borne here in a special train followed by one carrying Pres- ident Roosevelt, was taken to the capital where the secretary served two terms as governor to lie in state until 2 p.m, (MST), The grieving family followed the hearse from the station, accompanied by Gov. Henry H. Blood. Then they retired to a hotel to permit a sad- dened public to pay respects before the funeral. President Roosevelt, who interrupt- ed a drouth tour to come here for the rites, remained aboard his train be- hind dawn blinds. Leaders had made plain the chief executive would leave his car only shortly before the services’ at huge, historic “Mormon” tabernacle. As the casket was opened, four army officers took up positions di- rectly behind it. Two others stood at opposite ends, Directly in front was a unique tribute—a miniature of the stately capitol, fashioned from roses. -», To Depart Again Tonight After the service, Roosevelt arrang- ed to attend the Masonic and military graveside honors at Mount Olivet, cemetery, and then return immed- jately to his train. He will leave at 6 p. m. (MST) Tuesday night for Des Moines, Iowa, where Thursday he will hold drouth conferences with the heads of seven states including Gov- ernor Alf M. Landon of Kansas, his Republican opponent for the presi- dency, White House aides said the Des Moines parley, to be attended also by the governors of Iowa, Nebraska, Missouri, Oklahoma, Minnesota and Wisconsin, probably would be separate for each state, This was the program followed in the Bismarck conferences with the governors of North Dakota and Montana and the Pierre meet- ings with the heads, of South Dakota and Wyoming. Joins Funeral Train His special joined the Dern funeral train Monday at Sidney, Neb., and followed it across Wyoming as the second section. Large crowds gathered at Cheyenne, Hanna, Laramie and Rawlins, Wyo. late Monday hoping he would appear. Marvin H. McIntyre, presidential sec- retary, and Col. Edwin M. Watson, military aide, told them the chief executive could not, with propriety, make any rear platform talks until after the funeral. ‘William H.

Word to this effect was received at the state department at the same time as this government rushed plans to get all of its vessels out of Spanish waters. With about 1,000 of the 1,500 Americans in Spain already evacuat- ed, state department officials are ex- pected to announce soon the end of its rescue operations through the use of naval and coast guard ships. Conducting Investigation The Spanish foreign office prom- ised the American embassy at Madrid a formal reply to its protest over the Kane incident as soon as the investi- gation was completed, The United States transmitted an identical protest informally to Gen- eral Francisco Franco, commanding the Spanish rebel forces, but no word has been received concerning the re- action of the insurgent faction. The text of instructions Secretary Hull sent to diplomats in Spain con- cerning the Kane incident was pub- lished Tuesday, revealing that the United States is making determined efforts to find out whether it was a Spanish government plane or a rebel craft which dropped six bombs near the destroyer Sunday. After describing the attack and the answering rounds fired by the des- troyer’s anti-aircraft gun, Hull cabled the American embassy at Madrid: Urges Strong Measures “Since the plane making this at- tack was unidentified, the president. has directed that. this incident be brought to the attention of the Span- tah! govertimient through you and in- formally,. with no intention as to recognition, to the attention of Gen- eral Franco (rebel chieftain) through the American consul at Seville, with the request that both sides issue in- structions in the strongest terms... to prevent another incident of this character. “Take up this matter immediately with the Spanish government in the sense of the foregoing, endeavor to obtain a categorical statement as to whether the plane making this at- tack was a government plane, and urge and insist upon definite assur- ance that appropriate instructions will immediately be issued to the government armed forces.” Most of the 500 American nation- als remaining in Spain are staying there because of business or family ties, officials said.
