SIBLEY ISLE
WILL BE USED
FOR CITY PARK
City Commission Applies to
Government For Lease.
Already Authorized

Acting with the idea in mind of
converting Siblcy island, in the Mis-
souri, river just south Of Bismarck,
into a city park, the city commission
Monday night passed resolution
making formal application to the
United States government for a
lease to that island. The action was
taken in behalf Of the newly elected
city park board, which will take Of
flee April 10. The government re-
quircd that some action be taken
before April II and consequently
the commission, with the informal
consent of the park board members,
made the application.
An act Of congress on June IL.
1896, authorized the government to
execute u lease of Sibley island to
the city Of Bismarck for public park
purposes. without charge, the city
officials were recently informed by
the department Of the interior. The
island is part of the former Fort
Abraham Lincoln military reserva-
tion. Since more than 30 years had
elapsed since that action was taken
by congress, and the lease provided
for therein had not been executed,
the government asked the city to ex-
press it's wishes in the matter, other
wise the rights would be considered
waived.
The congressional act provides that
the city shall use the island for pub
lie park purposes and shall not fell
any timber thereon for sale or con-
sumption, nor shall any timber be cut
save for the purpose of improving
or beautifying the grounds.
As soon as the lease is negotiated
with the department of the interior,
It is probable that the new park
board will take steps towards con-
verting the property into park.

of 'Vanities-NO Drastic
Action Probable

Members of the Bismarck city
commission Monday night referred
to Commissioner George Humphreys
"a petition by Bismarck ministers WHO
are protesting against the showing
here Wednesday Of Earl Carro;l's
"Vanities.'
Humphreys is the commissioner in
charge of the city auditorium. where
the production will be staged
He indicated that he will take the
petition under adviscment, but that
no drastic action is probable.
In their petition the ministers
branded the production as Immoral"
and indecent" and calculated TO
have harmful effect on the morals
Of the young. They especially pro-
tested the posters placed on Bismarck
streets and signbOards to advertise
the production.
Rev. c. A. Stephens. pastor of the
Baptist church, represented the min
istcrial association at the commissi
meeting and urged that appearance
of the show here be prohibited. G.
M. Langum, who is proprietor Of a
business college here, also addressed
the commission concerning the show.
He thought the show shuold be
stopped, he said, or if that was not
possible at this late date, he urged
the commissioners to see that in the
future no such productions were
booked here. He said he would in
struct the pupils Of his school that
any who attended the show would be
expelled.
f. H. l.. Ncsperman, manager of
the city auditorium, pointed out to
the commission that the contract
which has been entered into with the
show management provides that the
appearance cannot be Cancelled except
by three weeks notice, and that if the
show should be cancelled at this
time the city would be liable for the
producers share of the box office
receipts based on a full house.
The eight ministers who signed the
petition presented to the commissio
were Paul S. Wright, Walter E. Va
ter, A. H. Ermel, Fred f. Klein, Fr.
John Stag, F. T. Davenport, {. F.
Strutz and S. A. Stephens.

While Governor Fuller was consid-
cring the subject, together with a
flood of letters, kilograms and cable
grams that have poured in from all
parts Of the world, Representative
Roland d. Sawyer Of Ware. who is
Congregational minister, had pre-
scnted to the house resolution call
ing for appointment Of similar COM
mission.
Sawyer said he had no personal
opinion on the fairness Of the trial
at which Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo
vanzetti were convicted, but believed
it was necessary to clear Massachu-
setts courts Of any suspicion Of un-
fairness.
His commission would consist Of
four members named by the governor
and the chief justice of the state su-
preme court.

Of judges and others involved, as a
precaution against possible demon
stration in behalf Of the condemned
men whose radical affiliations have

lent outbreaks throughout the world.
