FORT LINCOLN
SOLDIER SAVED
AFTER BURIAL
Caye.in EntOmbs Private-ls
Rescued After 20 Minutes
by Companions

Buried alive yesterday morning
while digging a trench for new
water line at Fort Lincoln, Private
Gustave +. Beahler. Company |,
Fourth Infantry, is back at work
today none the worse for his har-
rowing experience. ~
Beahler, with six other men under
direction Of Sgt. George Lester, all
of Company l, was attempting to
locate an old pipe line which the
new trench was to join. He had
sunk his section Of the trench to a
depth of eleven feet when a portion
Of the trench vail caved in, burying
him to the waist and pinning him so
he could not escape.
Shielded Beahlcr
Seeing that another section of the
wall was about to cave in, Sgt.
Lester jumped into the trench and
shielded Beahler with his body, SO
that when the secord slide occurred
only the earth which sifted around
the sergeant fell on the man. This
was, however, sufficient to bury
Beahler's head with .wo feet of soil.
Sgt. Lester immedi tely began
digging with his hands, and other
members Of the fatigue detail at
tempted to use their sho:els. A
shovel, however, truck Beahler in
the shoulder, and as his cry could
be plainly heard through the muf-
fled earth, only bare-handed digging
was continued. Sergeant Lester be-
lieves the mans head was uncovered
within two minutes of burial, but
it took more than 20 minutes to re-
lease him entirely from his acci-
dental entombment.
1T seems like a hundred years. =
Bcahler states. II couldn't breathe
and l couldn't even move my head
Captain John r. Oswalt, of the
medical corps, examined Beahler
shortly after the accident and pro-
nounced him uninjured. The medi-
cal officer stated it was remarkable
that the man had not, in struggling
filled his nose and lungs with earth

ARTISTS
PROVE ABILITY
Farbman, Margery Maxwell
Show Talent in COncert-tO
Apear Again Tonight
BY HAROLD BURTON

marry FafDman, VlOllnlSt, ana
Margery Maxwell, soprano, more
than lived up to their ADVANCE no.
tices when they appeared in con-
cert last night. They arc to appear
in concert again tonight at the audi
torium, and the public is invited to
attend.
The emotion which Farbman made
q part of every selection; the unsur-
passed technique with which his
work was marked, must give him
recognition as master artist. The
maturity and breadth of his per-
formance was all the more astound-
ing considering his youth.
In the "Ave Maria" and the "He-
brew Melody" where Farbman was
able to give more play to his emo
tions, he was at his best. The SOM
berness of the two selections was al
ways evident, but there was a poign-
ancy and a delicacy which must
make his rendition Of them distinctly
individual.
Chopin's Nocturne, opening the
program, offered an opportunity for
some lovely sustained effects. In
the "Capricc Basque" and "Chinese
Tambourine Dance" FarbmaD
showed exceptional mastery ana
technique Of the difficult harmonics.
To the "Tambourine Dance"
which must be considered cs-
sentially a show piece, he
impaired beauty and color
which few artists are able to present
and avoided the false theatricalism
which might easily be brought to
the fore. The "Capricc Basque" was
played with vivacity and the tonal
worth which he gave it. as well as
the ease with which he played the
difficult upper arpeggios, was out
standing.
The audience received him en-
Enthusiastically and called for encore
after encore, which he obligingly
gave.
Margery Maxwell opened her pro-
gram with the difficult recitative,
"Rejoice Greatly" from Handels
Messiah" The full power and So
nervousness of the selection was
brought out by Miss Maxwell, who
through her entire program showed
. strength and depth on the higher
notes.
"Canzonetta," by Loewe, was cas-
lily Miss Maxwell's best selection. It
called for the full range Of her voice
and for sustained effects which were
gracefully presented. In "Mandoline''
and MAZDA Of Cadiz," two lighter
numbers, Miss Maxwell showed
grace and charm. "Crepuscule," by
Massenet, was given its full value
and the more delicate nuances were
given their full emphasis. The repet-
tive notes call forth the full ability
Of the artist, and that Miss Maxwell
gave. "Musetta's Waltz" presented
as one Of the encores, was another
number which deserves mention for
its delicate handling.
In stage personality, as well as
musical ability, Miss Maxwell must
be considered one Of the select few.
She brings . charm with, her selec-
tions which contribute much to their
effect.
The concert must be considered
the outstanding musical event Of the
season. Tonight's program is some.

tion association meeting. Directed

States Possibilities Told
North Dakota's industrial and
agricultural possibilities were dis.
cussed at yesterday afternoons
meeting, held in the house chamber
of the capitol.
Speaking on "Our Chief Indus
try" DIR. John Lee Coulter, pres
ident of the state agricultural col
legc, pointed out that agriculture
must be the mainstay of this state
Urging n carefully worked out
nature study program for school
children, to start in the primary
grades and continue through high
school, with gradually increasing
emphasis on agricultural phases,
DR.. Coulter said he thought such a
program would DE- much toward
appreciation of the possibilities Of
North Dakota.
Pottery Making Demonstrated
The making of North Dakota pot
terry was demonstrated by Miss
Margaret Cable, Grand Forks, who
used a potter's wheel and nodded
several pieces in connection with
her talk. She explained how pot
tery-making had progressed anG
avcrred that North Dakota clay will
make as fine pottery as any to be
found. In support of this conten-
tion. she exhibited some articles
made from clay found in this state
Commercial possibilities in pottery
making are great, she said.

Profits Of fur farming in North
Dakota were cited and the develop
ment Of the industry traced in a
talk by M. B. Chase, St. John, pres
ident Of the Mort, Dakota Fur Pro-

Value Of Music Cited
Music, when used as material ia
be worked over and not as play
thing, contributes strongly to the
mental strength of school children

DEMONS MEET
MOBRIDGE II
Lowering Skies, Steady Driz-
zle Make Prospects For
Speedy Game Unlikely

Lowering skies and q steady driz-
zle made prospects for q speedy
game this afternoon, when Mobridge,
S. D.. and Bismarck meet at 3
o'clock on the Hughes field, extreme
ly unlikely.
Although the drizzle was not
heavy, it was expected to dampen
the field and make trick plays and
passes alike considerably more diff
ficult than under normal conditions.
The Demons, prepared for Mo-
bridge after hard drills all week,
were ready to put up q good battle
against the invaders from the south.
In practices, much Of the apathy
and slowness which marked the Bis
marck- Washburn game vanished and
the backfield, slow to get into action
last week, indicated that it should be
speedier and more aggressive today.
Mobridge's players arrived last
night and were resting this morning
as the game neared. The Mobridge
squad, although lighter than Bis
marck's, has aggressiveness and
plays q fine defensive game. Man
dan, playing Mobridge last week,
made much use Of passes for it's
scores, line plays generall,- not net
ting much gain.
The Demons were expected to play
= more open game today, with accent
on the offense. Defense has shown
q steady improvement and there has
been no cause for complaint in that
department, but the offense prev
iously has lacked the snap and vigor
necessary to victory.
Coach Roy D. Mcleod was unde-
cided this morning whom be would
use, but the lineup was expected to
follow fairly closely those Of the
last two games.

AMERICA FIRST
FOUNDATION IS
LATEST STUNT
Mayor Thomps0n's Appeal
Brings Many Returns, Favor
able and Otherwise

Chicago, Oct. 29.-(AP)-A dash
Of George NJ. Cohan's "Grand Old
Flag" touch of Stephen Decatur's
my Country, Right or Wrong" and
taste of opera bouffc seasoned
Mayor Thompson's america First"
efforts today.
His appeal for support of the
"America First Foundation" with a
$40 membership fee, brought many
returns. Some were complimentary.
Not few were condemnatory. Sew
eral were ironic.
The plea for membership in the
foundation, a national, patriotic or
ganization, "for better citizenship,
based on loyalty, with nation
wide educational program to teach
the constitution Of the United States
and respect for our form of govern
ment and a thorough knowledge of
it's fundamental laws" was tele-
graphed to mayors, congressman,
senator's and governors.
Fee" or "Free"
Alfred M. Phillips, Jr., mayor of
Stamford, Conn.,, wired back, charges
collect: did you say fee or free ?"
No reply was received. Again he
wired, also tolls collect, cautioning
Mayor Thompson that "the tricky
British" might have "some pretty
mean propaganda against him in
Alice in Wonderland"
The Stamford mayor quoted from
that book the story of the old man,
criticized by his son for standing on
his head, whose answer was: "1n my
youth, feared it might injure the
brain, but now l am perfectly sure !
have none."
Another reply from Congressman
Emmanuel Celler, Brooklyn, N. Y,
read: "Were you not so enthusias-
tically misguided in your campaign
against anything British and were it
not for your raid on the Chicago Ii
brary, l might consider your propos-
al seriously, but your anti British
mania has made you ridiculous in the
eyes Of intelligent people,"
A Hot Rejoiner
To which Mayor Thompson re-
joined geographically:
"Sorry you wasted 50 much money
in such q long telegram and if you
are not beyond advice permit me to
suggest that you should not use the
word intelligent over your own sig
nature because if you had more
brains you would have sense enough
to learn the truth before spending
your money in such long kilograms.
With bet wishes for your future, !
am sincerely yours"
"Glad to join and support in any
way the American First association
for purposes outlined in your tele-
gram" was the answer from Mayor
L. c. Hodgson, st. Paul, Mimi.
Mayor Arthur ]. O'Keefe, New
ORLEANS, supporter Of Mayor Thomp-
son in the gulf and
flood relief projects, said: "Will BE-
glad to sea you again. Sending you

Both questions were taken under

In the former the court upheld
