CAPTURE MUN|T|ON
BOAT ON WAY TO
MEXICAN COAST

San Diego Cal. April IA muni-
tionS carrying schooner bound for {"
Mexican west coast port was fired upon
and captured by two United States
torpedo boat destroyers, it was learned
here today from authoritative sources.
Five shots were fired at the vessel
when it attempted to escape it was
said. and the ship was beached. Sew
eral thousand rounds of rifle and ma
chine gun ammunition was taken
aboard the destroyers and landed at
Pacific coast ports, according to the
report.
1t is known that the destroyers have
been scouting for a supposed munition
smuggling ship for more than week.
Monday. according to reports, the
patrol boats sighted the schooner which
was SouthbOund off the coast Of Cali
fOrnia. The warships gave chase and
when the captain Of the schooner saw
that capture was inevitable he is re-
ported to have attempted to destroy
his vessel.
Refusing to heed signals to stop, the
skipper Steered for shore and beached
the schooner. Five shots, the report
says, were fired at the ship before it
piled upon the beach. The identity OF
the captain and crew Of the schooner
has not been revealed.
Persons in position to know full

Frazier for Congress
Inside Dope From, Camp
OF Non Partisan League
Telephone Message From Strong
hold Advises That Chief Ex-
ecutive Is Slated to Fill Helge-
sens Place-Kraabel Would
Become Governor,

Lynn J. Frazier for congress to
succeed H. 7. Helges:n. deceased, is
direct inside dope from NOnpartisan
league headquarters today. The slate
was tipped Off in long distance tele'
phone message from Park River this
morning. The story Is given general
credence about the capitol. ..t.
The idea is this. All the patronage
to be given out has already been
passed around in North Dakota. From
now on the governor will have little
to do but sit tight. A Nonpartisan
representative in congress will be q
big talking point for the league in
its efforts to organize other states !;
in its ambitions for national power.
Therefore, let Lieut.. Gov. A. T. Kraa-
bel have the core, or what's left of 1t.
and fill out Governor Frazier's term
as chief executive, while the governor
goes to Washington to sit in the
house OF representatives as the fist
Nonpartisan congressman.
The league thinks 1t can be done
in fact, it's very confident of it's abil-
ity to put Frazier over. The gover-
nor may or may not have been con-
sluted. That he will be the Nom
partisan candidate at the special elec-
ton to be held within the next five
weeks for the selection of a success
sor to Henry T. Helgesen seems very
certain. In which event, rumor hath
it, Democratic and Republican con-
servatives will concentrate on former
Governor L. n Hanna If he can ha
induced to run.
