the administrations original 71-ship
building program last Winter.
From three separate sides, but with
single-minded purpose, Senator Hale
and other pro-cruiser advocates are
facing fire. The various wings OF the
anti-cruiser forces are Cd the Federal
Council of the Churches Of Christ in
America, which claims to speak in the
name of 10000 Protestant churches;
co the National Council for Prevention
of War. the official pacifist federation.
skilfully led by Frederick j. Libby, ana
90 the recently formed emergency
protest committee" of 1000 prominent
citizens of all classes, headed by MRS.
Carrie Chapman Gait, President HID
ben of Princeton, Rabbi Stephen .:
Wise and Bishop Francis j. Mcconnell
of the Methodist Episcopal Church.:
Bishop Mcconnell has just been elected
president of the Federal Council OF
Churches.
Hale Confident on Bill.
Senator Hale IS confident that the
cruiser bill will receive Senate approval,
though not without the valiant support
of the Navy's friends in the upper
house itself and in the country at
large. The naval affairs chairman Is
hopeful that believers in preparedness,
along Coolidge Hoover lines, will find 1t
possible to exert their organized in
fluence In some such way as the oppo-
nents of cruiser legislation stand ready
to do. otherwise it is possible the cur
tailed building program may be wrecked
Just as its forerunner was mangled in
the House year ago.
1t escaped general notice that Presi-
dent Coolidge, in his message to Con-
gress asked the Senate to eliminate
the time clause" from the cruiser bill.
BY that Mr.. Coolidge means the pro-
vision for commencing in 1929 the con-
struction of five cruisers year for
three years. What the President would
like the Senate to do is to amend the
naval bill so as simply to authorize"
construction of the cruisers at unstated
intervals.
Two things may be said on this score.

CAFRITZ ASKS SUPPORT

and Racial Lines.


and Racial Lines.
An appeal to Washington residents to
support the Washington Community
Chest, now composed of So charitable
and welfare organizations, was made
over radio station VOL by Morris
Cafritz, member of the chest board Of
trustees and president of the Jewish
Community Center. He urged all to
give generous support of the chest cam
paign for funds, to begin in January.
Mr.. CafritZ emphasized that people Of
all creeds and races will be among the
$500 volunteer workers to be enlisted
in the campaign to ask support of the
agencies in the chest, which in turn
will serve people in need, regardless of
race or creed. He also noted that at
least two colored organizations are in
cluded in the federation and that many
of the other relief agencies care for
both colored and white clients.
The most important feature Of the
movement, said Mr. Cafritz, Is to be
found not only in the united and i'm
proved service thus made possible, but
in the new community spirit which
may be expected to grow cut Of this
combined effort.

One is that although the White House
would like club in its hands with
which to persuade Great Britain and
others to agree to cruiser limitation.
Mr.. Coolidge actually favors building
the ships and has said so repeatedly.
The other thing is that 1t Is far from
certain that the Senate will agree to
indefinite pustponement of cruiser
building operations.

how immense was the undertaking.
Sir James was born q poor boy.

was the next editor. and the work
has since been carried on by DR..

Judge Fred Jansonius, of the
Fourth district court, indicated today
that he would issue a call for a

day signed by 935 Burleigh county

Judge Jansonius was still going
over the petitions today. So far he
has found nothing irregular about
them. When the voters petition a
special session and the petition is
found to conform to the law, the
court has no discretion in the mat
ter Of a special grand jury session,
the judge said.
The petition calls for the session

ARRESTS STOP
SPANISH PLOT

New York, Sept. 12.-(AP)-Re-
ports from the nco-Spanish bor-
der say numerous arrests have been
made in Spain after the discovery
Of a plot against the government Of
Primo de Rivera, who is about to
celebrate his fifth anniversary as
dictator of Spain.
A dispatch from Hendaye, France,
says the arrests were reported to
have been made in Madrid and other
Spanish cities.
There were indications of the inn
position Of strict censorship. The
Western Union Gable company noti-
fled The Associated Press that the
Spanish authorities had refused to
deliver q message to The Associated
Press Madrid bureau asking about
the reported plot. Although the
usual run Of news was received from
Madrid, the cables made no mention
Of any movement against the state.
On July II there were border re-
ports Of q widespread plot against
the Spanish government. At that
time frontiers were under 4 strict
guard and passengers on interna-
tional trains were subjected to .
searching investigation.

BALI OUCH LEADS AIR DERBY INTO Los ANGEL Is
No Action Planned by
LANCER in GOntka Case
Bismarck Attorney Confers
With Girl Who Killed Father
at Hazelton

Just what action will be taken in
the defense Of Inex Gohtka, l7-year-
old Hazelton confessed parricide,
who is charged with murder by
Emmons county officials, is still un-
decided.
This information was released in
Bismarck today by William LANCER,
Bismarck attorney, who has been re-
tanned by the girls mother, Mrs.
Charles Gontka. Mrs. Gontka is ap-
parently eager to fight to relieve
her daughter Of penalty.
LANCER spent yesterday in Hazel
ton investigating the affair, inter-
viewing the girl and members Of the
family, returning to Bismarck late
last night.
The retention Of LANCER came as
q surprise in Bismarck yesterday as
reports from Haxelton and Linton
last week indicated that the girl
would not be defended by an attor-
ney in her trial.
LANCER would make no statement
today concerning the type Of trial
he would demand. The girl has
signed . written confession to shoot
ing her 60-year-old father, Charles
Gontlka, twice with = shotgun Labor
Day, dumping his body in q creek
nearby. The girl confessed to the
crime last Thursday and was arrest
ed by Emmons County States Attor-
ney Charles Coventry and Sheriff
Andrew H. Fischer, who took her to
Linton.
The girl was released from Jail
in the custody of the sheriff, how
ever, as the Emmons county Jail had
no quarters for women, and she is
now with her family on the farm a
few miles southwest of Hazelton.
LANCER is quoted rs saying last
night that he could see no reason
why the girl should be called upon
to answer q first degree murder
charge. Although she had previous
ly agreed to plead guilty when ar
raigned in district court. he said she
absolutely will not plead guilty to
murder in the first degree"
LANCER has not yet decided wheth-
er or not he will demand . jury trial
for the girl, but it Is generally as
sumed in Bismarck that the demand
will be made. The case will 60 be-
fore either District Judge Charles E..
Wolfe or District Judge George M.
McKenna.
He had nothing to say concerning
the procedure he would follow
should the Emmons county prosecu-
tor substitute . lesser charge.
