Band Drive
Starts Wednesday

Committees will start out
soon to dispose of 1000, fifty
cent tickets for the second
Juvenile Band Concert. 1t is
hoped by the two concerts,
the afternoon one at the High
School at a p. m. Memorial
Day and the evening concert
in the City Auditorium, to
raise 5000 in order to carry
this work through until fall.
The concert will be well
worth the money. No public
donations have been asked for
this civic venture. Every
dollar has been secured
through benefit concerts at
which the public secured
value in return for every pen
ny expended.
1t only takes a small
amount yearly IN conjunction
with the school board and As
sociation of Commerce to car
ry on this educational feature
in which some fifty or sixty
boys and girls receive train7
ing in music.
Open air concerts will be
featured this summer provid-
ed the people of Bismarck set
aside one evening this week to
support this worthy venture.
More children are wanted to
recruit the Beginners Band
apply to L. C. Sorlein, direc-
tor, or leave name at Associa-
tion of Commerce. A free
summer course for ambitious
girls and boys.
(. Help boost the kiddies band.

Franks Death Case

Chicago, May 26.-(By the A. P.)
The states attorney, his assistants
and the police worked all night on
clues as to the possible kidnaper and
slayer of l3-year-old Robert Franks,
son of Jacob Franks, retired million
aire pawn-broker and manufacturer,
but appeared early today to be no
nearer solution of the mystery
than when the lads nude body was
found last Thursday.
The body of the lad was laid to
rest yesterday afternoon attended by
classmates at the private school he
was attending when last seen last
Wednesday.
Early today three men riding in
an automobile answering the descrip-
tion Of machine said to have been
seen lettering in the vicinity Of the
private school that Franks attended,
were seized at Summit, Illinois, about
20 miles from here, and brought
here for questioning. There was
some effort to connect the disappear
ance of Gertrude Barker, II, with
the kidnapping of young Franks. The
girl has been missing since Wednes-
day when she left the academy near
the school attended by the murdered
body. Her usual course would have
taken her past the corner where the
boy was last seen.
May Have Been Witness
Miss Barkers relatives fear she
might have been witness to the
Franks kidnapping and was taken
along by the kidnapers.
A florist who sent them wreathe
bearing the name Johnson to the fun
man who gave him the order. The
letter demanding $4,000 ransom
sent to Mr.. Franks after his son was
dead was signed George Johnson
The flower sender was described by
the florist as of the type built up in
theory by the police as the possible
owner of a pair of spectacles found
near the boys body.
Compare Typewriters
The police ontinued to look to
examination Of typewriters and oCu-
lists prescription records for clues,
the sonsom demanding latter having
been tpewritten expertly and the
prescription for the glasses carefully
worked out.
hree men in gre automobile OF
the make seen near Howard school,
the private institution attended by
young Franks at the time of his dis
appearance, who were seized by the
police, gave a good account of them
selves, but will be questioned again.
Three instructors at the school,
still are being questioned and more
intensive interrogation of the stu
dnts at the school, was being carried
out today, the police were overlook
ing no possibility to obtain some
clues from the instructors and stu
dents which might throw a new
light on the mystery.

Washington, May (By the A. P.)-The immigration
bill signed today by President Coolidge.
Despite the provision making Japanese exclusion efec
tive next July l. put into the his vigorous
opposition the President decided because of other consider
aos to give the executive approval to spread the
legislation on the statute books
1t pointed out that masmuch the present imm-
grafton law expires June 30 veto might have made it
sary rush through emergency in the closing
hours of the session.
Such STEP the President felt would be practicable
of the tangled legislative situation and the certainty
that any emergency provision would be met by many at
empts at amendment and possibly blocked altogether.

. AS soon as he had affixed his sig
nature to the bill, however, the Pre-
sident began preparation Of state
ment expressing his d:sapproval of
the failure of Congress to provide
for longer delay in the effective
date of Japanese exclusion.
Quotes On 1890 Census
Besides the japanese exclusion fea-
ture the bill contains a number of
provisions which were the basis of
stubborn contest when the legislation
first was under consideration in the
Senate and House. One question,
long in dispute, was the method of
determining national quotas, which
under the measure. as finally passed
are fixed at percent on the basis
of the 1890 census
This and all other disagreements
over the bills provisions have been
subordinated to the Japanese exclu-
sion issue ever since Ambassador
Hanihara on April IL sent a note to
the state department suggesting that
the possibilities of grave conse-
quences" be considered before an
absolute legislative barrier was
reared against the Japanese. The
note was characterized in both Sem
ate and House as veiled threat,
and both reatfirmed quickly and by
overwhelming majoritieS their desire
for eXclu sion.
The House passed the bill 1922 to
Il and the Senate 62 to 6.
Fight In Congress
Under the Rouse measure exclu-
sion would have been effective July
of this year but the Senate voted
to make it effective Immediately.
While the legislation was in confer
ence the President appealed directly
to the conferees to write in post
ponement until March l, 1926, so as
to permit negotiations for an agree
ment with Japan but the conference
committee refused to accept his plan.
Subsequently the conferees did
agree to postponement to March I,
1925, but when their report was
brought into the House it was voted
'o"hs ioi W "a. - new CoHlcTSuCG
report was drafted making the ef-
fective date, July l, 1924, and it was
adopted by the House, 30S to So and
by the Senate 50 to 8. In each case
the majority was far in excess of
the two-thirds that would be aeces-
sary for passage over veto.
States View Bluntly .-- -
he presidents statement declared
he had approved the bill because of
the necessity of consideraing "the
bill as whole and the imperative
need of the country for legislation
of this general character"
If the exclusion provision stood
alone, the president said he would
have disapproved it without hesita-
tion.

Book Notes
The following notes have been sent
to me from Houghton Mif1in Com
pany:
On the 10th Of October. Hough-
ton Mifiin Company published the
following books: THE Torch" a
new novel by Albert Kinross; a new
edition Of THE House of the Seven
Cables" three juvenile stories, THE
Radio Gunner. published anonymous
~, Little Pioneers Of the Fir Tree
Country" by Mabel G. Cleland, and
Stories of the Birds From Myth
and Fable" by NJ. c. Carey; a new
anthology by John Drinkwater, An
Anthology of English Verse" THE
Art Of Helping People Out Of Trou-
BILE" by Karl de Schweinitz, and
THE Psychological Theory of Val
ue." by George Binney Dibblee.
THE Little French Girl" by Anne
Douglas Sedgwick. which Houghton
Miflin Company published recently.
has been selling a little short Of two
thousand copies a day. The predic-
ton OF publisher and critics that the
book would take its place as one Of
the leading novels of the year seems
to be justified in the fact that the
sixth printing, making $4,000, has
been ordered within six weeks Of
publication.
