The Garden's 18,500 seats were filled and officials there estimated 1,500 were standing. The crowd, shouting and waving flags, heard the Kansan close his eastern campaign — climactic objec- tive of a 20,000-mile speaking tour — with a frequently reiterated declama- tion that “no one can be sure” of the administration’s future policies on agriculture, industry and relief and of what the president proposes “to re- store confidence.” Asks For Decision He addressed this interrogation to the prone ah “Does he favor reviv: aprin= ciples of the Satignat yosorate 2, Or does he favor the American system of free initiative? J “Does he favor reviving the princi- | ti! ples of the agricultural adjustment act? Or does he favor al the farmer to be a Jord’on his own farm? “Does he favor concentrating more and more power in the hands of the chief executive? Or does he favor a return to the American form of gov- ernment?” The crowd, whose demonstration when Landon was introduced had de: layed his speech 11 minutes, inter- rupted with frequent shouts of ap- proval. ‘NBA, AAA Impossible’ Both the NRA and AAA are impos: sible, the governor said, “without creased powers for the chief execu- tive.” ‘Then, expressing himself as opposed to’ “economic planning by the government, ... the principles of the agricultural adjustment act... concentration of power in the hands of the chief executive,” Landon said: “Tell us where you stand, Mr. Roosevelt. ...I leave my gage at your feet.” ’ Friday, moving toward St. Louis for a Saturday night addtess preceding his return to Kansas for Tuesday's eiection, the chief executive arranged brief talks at Charleston, and at Huntington, W. Va. Landon Thursday visited the widow ot President Roosevelt, placed & wreath on the grave of the “Rough Rider,” and delivered a brief address to “fellow citizens of foreign birth.” In that talk he laid a “despicable at- tempt to stir up racial, religious and class prejudices” to leaders of the “so-called Democratic party.” , GOP Leaders Present Surrounding Landon on the Gar- den’s speaking stand were Chairman John D.

A second letter, three weeks Jater, directed him to send his chauf- feur to a designated point on the high- way outside Minneapolis with the toney. The signal for the chauffeur to throw out the package was to be a pistol shot. Foster immediately informed fed- eral agents, who laid a trap through the use of a dummy package...

He welcomed the guests in the hu- morous style for which he is noted and then in a more serious note paid tribute to “the many who have given up the fight and gone beyond.” He said, “We should be grateful that we are here enjoying life. We have seen ketter times, we have seen bad and good times, but we have never seen time when the Burleigh county pi- oneers couldn’t get together and have & good time.” New Officers Chosen The president appointed a nomi- Sellens as chairman, Milan G.

O00 BARRELS DAILY RUMORED MARMARTH (OIL WELL CAPACITY No Official Announcement Made by Utility But Figure Be- lieved Reliable (Special to The Tribune) Marmarth, N. D., Oct. 30.—Persist- ent reports that oil production of 350 barrels a day has been obtained in the Devonian formation at a depth of 8,124-8,186 in the newly discov- ered oil field here are being heard in Marmarth, The Montana-Dakota Utilities com- pany, which drilled the test well, has made no official announcement of the results but the estimate given is be- lieved to be reliable. Meanwhile the company is pushing ahead with two new drillings in wide- ly separated parts of the field, the aim being to determine the depth and extent of the oil-bearing forma- tions. At well No. 2, located six miles north of Baker, Mont., the drill is down 1,500 feet and 1,000 feet of 16- inch casing has been set in place. Drilling will be resumed as soon as the cement has set. It is expected to carry this well down 6,800 feet to the depth at which the initial heavy flow of ofl was struck in the discoy- ery well last April. Well No. 3 is located a half mile north of the discovery well and also will be carried down 6,800 feet. This hole also is about 1,500 feet deep and the drillers are preparing to “run in” their casing. It is expected that both the new wells will be completed about the first of the year. Work on them is expected to go forward more rapidly than was the case with the test well because of the knowledge of the field and experience gained in that venture.

The strike was called at midnight when efforts to settle differences be- tween employers and seven federated unions failed. It was estimated that 37,000 ship and dock workers left their jobs and that 118 ships were immediately tied up. Effects of the strike were expected to be cumula- tive as ships make port after trips to the Orient, Alaska and South America. Some ships left partly loaded. Most. of them were foreign craft, The situation on the East and Gulf. coasts was uncertain. At New York. Joseph P, Ryan, president of the In- ternational Longshoremen’s associa- tion, declined to commit himself on the question of calling a strike of his organization.
