RumOrS State That Northern
Pacific Is to Have Trains
Leave Early in the Morning
and Return in the Afternoon,
Reversing Present Schedule

Reports Of a proposal Of the
Northern Pacific railway to change
the schedules of trains on the Man.
dan-Mott and Mandan-Killdeer lines
so that they would arrive in the aft.
ernoon and leave the following
morning were causing comment here
today.
AS the schedules now arc ar.
ranged, the trains arrive in Man9ar
shortly after noon and leave there
after 3 p. m.
Merchants of the city mainly were
opposed to ,the proposed plan, some
of then, arguing that passenger
service would be disrupted by the
fact that the change would require
passengers to stay over night il
either Bismarck or Mandan, where.
as they can now do their shopping
and take the train home the same
afternoon.
A. w. Mundy Of the A. w. Lucas
company; Phil Webb of Webb
Brothers, S. f. Bergeson and Alex
Rosen were the merchants opposed
to the reported proposed change.
Nothing Definite Yet
There is nothing definite yet to
announce on a contemplated change
Of train time on the branches, SUI
perintendent T. NJ. Flynn of the
Dakota division was quoted as say
ing in an Associated Press dispatch
from jamestown.
Arguments in favor Of the change
were that it would benefit shippers
Of cream and produce by getting
their products out to the various
towns earlier in the day and by get
ting cream and other produce in
here at more convenient time.
Creamery operators here, while
indicating that they would like a
further explanation of what any
change would do, said they believed
themselves at the present time op-
posed to the shift.
Henry Duemeland Of the Bismarck
Grocery company said he would not
favor the plan, while c. Il. Simpson
Of the Gamble Robinson company
said the proposed change would be
a good thing.
The promise was made by Nor
thern Pacific officials that before
any change were made it would be
throughly discussed with the busi-
ness men of Bismarck and Mandan.
There has been no definite proposal
outlined as yet, they said.

TOTAL ACREAGE
HIGHER IN 1927
Increases Shown in All Crops
Except Flax, Rye and AL
falfa This Year

The total acreage planted to crops
in North Dakota this year as esti-
mated by assessors in their reports
to the state department of agricul-
ture and labor is 15,118,792 as COM
pared with 1868, ,999 harvested in
1926, statistics released today show.
Increases are shown in all crops
listed except flax, rye and alfalfa,
the principal increases being in hard
spring and durum wheat, oats, bar
ley and sweet clover.
The slight decrease in the alfalfa
acreage came as a surprise to Off
cials of the department, who say
that some alfalfa land was plowed
under this year while some may
have been winter killed. Another
factor, they say, is that alfalfa seed
has been comparatively high in
price and farmers evidently turned
to sweet clover as being more eco
nomical for their purposes.
Acreage g..en over to various
crops this year, as shown by depart
ment of agriculture and labor re-
ports, and q comparison with the
acreage harvested last year follows:

REPORT CAROL
EN- MESHED IN
ROYALIST PLOT
Plan TO Return Ousted Prince
to Rumanian Throne Related
in Paris Newspaper
MARIE SAID AGREEABLE
Break With Magda Lupescu
Called Imminent - Stories
Not Taken Seriously

Paris, Oct. 21.-(AP) L'Oe,Nre
French radical newspaper, today
says that delegates of the nationa
peasant party of Rumania have ne
gotiated with former Crown Prince
Carol for his return to Rumania ane
his assumption of the throne.
The possibility Of Carols return
however, is not regarded seriously ir
competent quarters here as the latest
reliable advices from Bucharest say
that by general consent the Carolist
movement is non-existent in Ru.
mania.
L'Oeuvre, in an article signed by
Henry Barbe, foreign editor of the
paper, says that the peasant party
delegates laid down one condition
that Carol break with the Titan
haired Magda Lupescu, with whom
he eloped nearly two years ago, de-
serting his wife, princess Helen.
Carol accepted this condition, it is
stated.
Barbe says that Carol will enter
his kingdom at the beginning Of
next year, and that the congress of
the national peasant party, to be
held at Albaiulia, Rumania, October
27, will issue a pronouncement in
favor of Carols return.
Barbe added that Premier Bra
tiano and his brother, Vintila, are
so alarmed at the prospect Of Carols
return that they are doing all in
their power to prevent the congress
from meeting.
Barbe also relates that Queen
Marie wishes to come to Paris to
see Carol, but Premier Bratiano,
fearing that she might betray him,
exclaimed bluntly: IF you con-
tinuc to poster me with your family
business l will proclaim a republic" !"
Other rumors and surmises are
contained in the papers Of Paris.
lie Journal says that Carol has
broken with Nine Lupescu. The
reason given by that paper is that
her memoirs now appearing in the
American papers caused Carol in
tense annoyance. Nine Lupescu
formally denied that she was the
author Of the memoirs but Carol
preferred to separate from her and
did so last Tuesday, LIE Journal
says.
On the other hand, the Paris edi-
tion of the New York Herald says
q prominent member Of the Ruman-
ian colony in Paris declared he saw
the former crown prince and Nine
Lupescu together Wednesday.

Chicago, Oct. 2l.-(4p-Mayol
Thompson today trained his big guns
on another sector in his war against
King George Of England" He
aimed at British lion." croucheti
upon the shelves Of the Chicago pub
lie library.
The first offensive in the cam
paign was directed toward removing
William McAndrew from the super.
intendency Of public schools because
he was a "stool pigeon of King
George" Superintendent McAndrew
is now on trial before the school
board, charged with insubordinatidn.
To Investigate Libraries
The mayor has commissioned II. j.
Hermann, well known sportsman, as
his lieutenant in the latest drive.
A long letter of instructions was
sent to Mr.. Hermann in which the
mayor expressed the fear that the
Chicago reading public is being
served liberal doses of British
propaganda. Hermann was instruct
ed to scrutinize every history book
in the Chicago library and it's
branches for traces of the British
taint."
my prediction pledge is a
sacred thing to me-" wrote the
mayor. 81 will not rest until I've
purged this entire city of the poison
that's being injected into the heart
Of American youth to eulogizc Eng
land at the expense Of their own
country"
Mr.. Hermann, a trustee Of | the
library, arranged to confer today
with Carl B. Roden, librarian and
president Of the American Library
association. Mr.. Roden succeeded
George II. Locke Of Toronto, Can
ada, who was assailed by former
Judge Frederick Bausman of Wash
ington in testimony at the trial of
Superintendent McAndrew Wednes-
day.
The western judge declared that
Mr.. Locke was in charge Of British
propaganda bureaus during tho
World war and that soon after he
became head of the library associa-
ton an edict was issued suggesting
that librarians recommend the read
ing of six particular books. Most
of them, .c witness said. were de
signed to promote pro-British SEN
timent.
Commenting on this Testimony.
Mayor Thompson declared: 81 want
to know whether our public library
association has been used, like the
schools, to- undermine American in-
IF there are any such books they
will be thrown where they belong
in the furnace. In their place will
be substituted books by authors
whose loyalty is to America and not
to the ruling class of England"
Former Congressman John j. Cor
man, WHO investigated the school
text and who plans to take the wit
ness chair again at the resumption
Of Superintendent McAndrew's trial
Monday, said: II expect to show
that deliberate plot exists to in
ocula. the minds Of American
teachers with pro- British ideas. The
purpose is for these teachers in
turn to inoculate the minds Of their
pupils"
The former congressman also
charged that. the university Of Chi
rago is a hotbed of pro-British
propaganda, and said he would
bring several teachers to the stand
To corroborate his statements.

EARLCARR0LL
IS0N WAY BACK
TO BROADWAY
Producer Hopes TO Stage Come
back If World Will Meet Me
Just Half Way

Atlanta, Ga, Oct. 2l.-(F-Earl
Carroll turned to the lights of
Broadway today to erase the shad-
ows of prison sentence.
AT liberty on parole from the
federal penitentiary after having
served third of his year-and-a a. day
term for perjury. he goes back Ia
New York to resume his work with
the expressed intention Of staging a
comeback "if the world will meet me
just half way"
With his wife, his brother, James,
his sister, Mrs. Alice Schneider, and
I. v. Rooney, his casting director,
the theatrical producer had reserved
compartments on q southern rail-
way train which arrives there short
ly after noon tomorrow.
Issues Statement
Carrolls feelings over his I'M
prisonment, which grew out Of his
celebrated bath tub" party in New
York last year, were expressed
formally in statement typewriter
on prison stationery, that he handed
newspaper men upon his release.
He assured those who felt he
should be punished for his "mis-
guided gesture o. chivalry," that he
had suffered.
II have undergone an irreparabIc
loss Of self respect" his statement
said, "a realization of unworthiness
such as each and every man feels
when the door of a prison clangs
behind him. My constant compan-
ion has been great shadow of
humiliation, a heavy sense of moral
degradation.
II never watched each setting sun
through the bars Of my windows
without seeing written there in
those iron shadows the loss of my
most priceless heritage-my Amcri-
can citizenship"
Future Plans Indefinite
He was going back, however, with
the even firmer belief that what he
did twas the only thing / would do
and that there are times when a
mans honor is far more precious
than liberty, and liberty more
precious than life."
As for future plans, he has made
none as yet, but he admitted the
possibility that his recent exper-!
fences will be reflected in some of his
future work.
"All experiences make an impress
sion on a man, and some of mine
may work into my productions at a
later date" he explained.
