When Washington heard that un-
worthy suggestion of expediency he
replied:
1T is too probable that no plan
we propose will be adopted. Per-
haps another dreadful conflict is
to be sustained. If, to please the
people, we offer what we ourselves

Those two expressions OF Wash

high plane Of thought and the SEN

characterized the proceedings Of the
convention.
The delegates worked diligently
for five weeks without agreeing
upon q single sentence, so anxious
were they to excel in thought and
expression.
A remarkable scene occurred on

OFFICERS FEAR
YOUNG MAN MET
WITH FOUL PLAY
Richard j. Reynolds Yellow
Rolls Royce Found in Long
Island Sound
POLICE GET PHONE CALL
Unidentified Person Asks
Probe of Murder in Which
olls.Royce Figured
POLICE GET PHONE CALL

New York, Sept. 27.-(AP)-An
expensive limousine, retrieved from
the waters of Long Island sound, a
mysterious telephone call to police,
and the story Of Broadway night
club hostess guided detectives today
in their search for Richard j. Rey-
nolds, 21-year-old heir to the Rey-
nolds tobacco millions, who is MISS
ing.
First indications were that Rey-
nolds, whose interests ranged from
the presidency of the Reynolds Air
ways, Inc, to sponsorship of an un-
successful play on Broadway, had
been missing 10 days. But George
w. Orr, his business manager at
Winston-Salem, N. c., said he talked
with him last Thursday.
No Trace Found
Friends and relatives and private
detectives today were without trace
of him, although he was not listed
at the city's missing persons bureau
nor were police summoned in the
case. Fear Of accident or foul play
was inspired by the belief that he
carried almost $4,000 in cash when
he disappeared.
Reynolds accompanied Miss Marie
Houston, hostess in the Charm club,
to the Grand Central station about 6
a. m, September IL.
Miss Houston left Reynolds, she
said upon her return here. and
travelled to st. Louis, where she Wis
tied relatives for q few days.
Business associates Of Reynolds
who were interested in the play,
"Half a Widow" which he backed,
were unable to locate him next day.
In consequence the production, un-
able to meet it's expenses because Of
poor box office receipts, was closed.
Friends and relatives then began
their hunt for the missing man.
Car Found in Water
On September II, Reynolds yell
low Rolls-Royce limousine, which
had awaited him at Mineola, was
found submerged in Long Island
sound near Port Washington. Rey-
nolds apparently had not used it
during the night of September Is,
but it was found some distance from
the place where it had been parked
according to his instructions by the
chauffeur. Mr.. Orr said that Rey-
nolds was not in the car when it was
wrecked and that they had conferred
several days after the accident.
An unidentified person called
Nassau county headquarters last
night and asked that they investi-
gate "a murder in which a yellow
Rolls Royce figured"

Salem, stepfather of Reynolds, whose
mother is now dead, came to New
York last week to join in the search.
Reynolds, six feet tall and weigh
ing about 21O pounds, is the eldest
son Of the late r. ]. Reynolds. for
whom he was named, and is one of
five heirs to an estate estimated at
$50,000,000 left by his father.

cr ShOw-W. A. Hughes
Claim For $1,400 Damages
Is Rejected

Permission to erect a temporary
one-story building on the north side
of the city auditorium was granted
the North Dakota Corn Show asso-
citation by the city commission Mon
day night. with the understanding
that the structure is not be attached
to the auditorium and is to be at
least 10 feet away. The association
must also agree to tear down the
building within 10 days after the
close of the corn show.
Because of the limited space in
the auditorium for the proper dis
play Of the hundreds of corn sam
pies which will be entered at this
years show, the association asked
permission to erect a temporary
building which would be used as an
exhibit room. 1t had been planned
to build this against the north wall
of the auditorium, but the commits
sioners decided not to permit this
because of the fire escapes and exits
on that side.
Hughes Claim Rejected
w. A. H.ghes' claim against the
city for 81 400 because Of alleged
flood damage on August Is to his
building on Thayer avenue and
Eighth street was rejected by the
commission Monday night on the
ground that the city was not liable.
Mr.. Hughes claims that flood waters
from the city streets flooded the
basement of his building and did
damage t. furnaces, cold storage
equipment, insulation and merchan-
disc to the extent Of 81 200, and
damaged the furnace and merchan-
disc in the basement of the residence
to the extent Of 5000, including loss
of rent.
Permission to leave the tabernacle
erected by the Seventh Day Advcn-
tist congregation at the corner Of
Rosser avenue and Eleventh street
on its present location until spring
was granted by the commission upon
request of the Rev. +. F. Schwindt,
local pastor. The pastor told the
commission that the structure was
only temporary to provide place of
worship during the winter months
and that it would be torn down be-
fore May 1. when a fine church
building will Da erected. The tenn
porary structure is too near the
front Of the lot to comply with the
city building ordinances, but the
Rev. Schwindt will sign an agree
ment with the city that the building
will be torn down before May /.
Garbage collection by the city will
cease October /, the commission de-
cided.

With the first neral frost

the upper Mississippi valley corn belt,
the cold wave that started Sunday
with snow in the Rocky Mountains

Thermometers stood in the lower

yesterday in the Dakotas and north

caused to late crops.
Warmer weather in the mountain

JUDGE HOLDS
PART OF DRY
LAW ILLEGAL
Claims Part of Act Allowing
Personal InjunctiOns Is
Unconstitutional

Omaha, Neb., Sept. 27.-(AP)-
Upholding the right Of a person to
a trial by jury when criminal acts
arc involved, Federal Judge Wood
rough held unconstitutional that por-
tion of the prohibition act which al
lows personal injunctions.
The opinion given yesterday was
in answer to a petition filed last
August, which charged Fred Gun
ningham Of SCOTS Bluff, Neb., with
five offenses against the prohibition
laws, involving sale, transportation,
possession and soliciting Of orders
for whiskey. A personal injunction
was asked, which would have made
it possible for a Judge to send Cum
nigham to Jail for contempt of court
at any time if he kept or carried
liquor.
Judge Woodrough held that the
right of trial by jury is assured by
the constitution and that an injunc-
tion relating solely to the commits
sion of personal acts and not affect
ing property is deprivation Of lib
erty in violation Of the constitution" Z"

GOVERNMENT NOT LIKELY
TO APPEAL DECISION

Washington, Sept. 27. - (AP) -
There is little likelihood that the
government will appeal from the de-
cision Of Federal Judge Woodrough
at Omaha holding that the personal
injunction section of the Volstead
act is unconstitutional.
This provision has been resorted
to in only rare instances and there
never has been a test case on it car
ried to the supreme court. The. gen.
eral policy has been to proceed
against the individual bootleggers
under other provisions carrying pen.
alties upon conviction by jury.
Ever since the enactment of the
Volstead law there has been differ
ence Of opinion among lawyers as to
the constitutionality Of the personal
injunction section, many holding
with Judge Woodrough that it de-
prives the accused of the right of
trial by a jury, guaranteed by the
constitution.
The general view of those charged
with the enforcement of the law has
been that if there is evidence to war;
rant court action, criminal prosecu-
tion should be instituted and the
case tried in the usual way.
