Ask Highway Commission ID
Secure Right Of Way and
Start Work Immediately

Request that immediate steps be
taken by the state highway commits
sion to complete the road from
Baldwin to Bismarck was made to
the state highway commission yes
terday by . committee Of Bismarck
business men.
The road north from Bismarck
has been blocked by snow most Of
the winter, the commission WAS
told, with the result that persons
living in that territory are unable
to come to Bismarck TO trade. Some
have even gone to Minot, despite
the fact that Bismarck was much
nearer, they said.
Delay in constructing the road
has been due to difficulty over .
part Of the right of way near Bis
marck. The delegation asked that
the highway commission take &C.
tion to condemn the right Of way
needed 90 that construction Of The
road will not b further delayed.
The county commission, at resent
meeting, asked the highway COM
mission to 60 ahead with the con.
demnation proceedings but - yet
no action has been taken.

by Bismarck stores showed that

MEXICAN OIL
LAW AMENDED
Articles Which Caused Fric-
tiOn Between Mexico and
u. S. Are Changed

Mexico City, Dec. 3O.-(AP)-The
two articles Of the oil law which
have proved to be points Of friction
between the United States and Mex
leo have been amended by congress-
and today their PRONUNCIATION by
President Gales was awaited.
The amendments do away with
confirmatory concessions for so
years in exchange for rights ac-
quired by oil companies before May
/, 1917. Instead they confirm for
an indefinite time-that Is for the
time of the contract-contracts made
before May /. 1917, with surface
owners for sub-soil rights. y
Companies must have the con-
tracts confirmed by the government,
however, within one year from the
time the amended laws become ef.
fective.
To these proposals Of President
Gales, the chamber of deputies add
ed a penalty clause before passing
them. The clause provided that
those who failed to apply for con-
firmation as specified should be re.
garded as having renounced their
rights and that these rights would
"have no effect against the govern
ment."
The senate unanimously passed
the new laws as changed by the
deputies.

Hickman
to Plead
tuesday
Police Now Believe Youthful
kidnaper Had Help in
Committing Crime

Los Angeles. Dec. 3O.--tR)-Re-
versing their previous opinion that
the kidnapping. murder and mutila-
ton Of Marian Parker was q "one-
man job" Los Angeles police today
started to work on the theory that
William Edward Hickman had an
accomplicc. This move was made
despite tho fact that his confession
as announced by the Investigators
declared he was alone in carrying
out the crime.
The Investigators started their
inquiry after Hickman had been
formally arraigned yesterday on
charges Of KIDNAPPING and murder
and given until next Tuesday to
enter his plea.
The Investigators said one phase
of the inquiry was centered in the
possibility that 16-year-old Welby
Hunt, confessed confederate Of
Hickman in series of Kansas
City, Texas, and Pacific coast
holdups, one of which resulted in
the fatal shooting of Ivy Thoms,
Rose Hill, Calf, druggist, may
have assisted in the kidnapping of
the 12-year-old Los Angeles school
girl.
Hunt Denies Part in Crime
These police suspicious found no
support in the holdup confession
which young Hunt gave to shcriff's
officers.
"Why, I'd have turned my own
brother over to the police for q
crime like that" Hunt declared.
He said he Immediately had
suspected Hickman, his crstwhile
pal and confederate, with the slay-
ing when he read his description in
the newspapers prior to the identi-
fication by the police. The day be-
fore the police Identification was
made public, he said, he went to
the bank in which Perry NJ. Parker,
Marian's father, is assistant CASH
ier, and in which he and Hickman
had been employed as messengers,
to determine whether the where
abouts Of Hickman were known.
He said he and his step-mother,
Mrs. Carrie Driskell of Alhambra,
with whom Hickman lived for q
time, communicated their suspicious
to the police.
Hunt Resembles "Cramer'
Police, however, pointed out that
Hunt resembled somewhat the
mysterious "Andrcw Cramer,'
whom Hickman named in his first
confession as the actual slayer of
the child. Hickman later admitted
that Cramer was only q figment of
his imagination. Hunt also lives in
Alhambra, the suburb to which the
kidnapped girl first ~vas taken and
from which one Of the ransom tele-
grams was filed.
Hunt will be questioned closely.
the police said, as to his activities
during the days from the time Of
the kidnapping Of Marian until the
body was delivered to her father
and $500 collected.
In the meantime, sheriff's Off
