FORT LINCOLN
FLYING FIELD
USE STOPPED
War Department Refuses Bis
marck Right to Use Land as
Municipal Airport
CITY MUST TAKE ACTION
Pilots Prefer Post Landing to
Small 8O-Acre Tract South
of Weather Bureau

Bismarck has been refused use Of
the Fort Lincoln airport for = tenn
porary landing field, according to .
letter received by City Auditor N.
H. Atkinson from the War Depart
ment at Washington.
The letter stated that the depart
ment cannot agree to the occupancy
Of any portion Of the field by the
city, since the Board Of Commission
ers is unable, pending the granting
Of authority by the state legislature,
to do anything which will obligate
the city Of Bismarck % to the ac-
QUESTION Of 4 site and the prepara-
ton of landing field thereon.
Application was made som. time
ago to Col. w. A. Alfonte, COM
manding officer at Fort Lincoln,
that the city be allowed to use the
army airport pending the acquisition
Of a suitable field by TIE city. The
matter was referred by Col. Alfonte
to the War Department at Washing
ton.
The letter stated that it was all
established policy that no such
leases will be granted until the city
authorities have taken definite ac-
tion obligating the city to build an
airport on private owned land, thus
assuring the War Department. that
the desired lease is for q Temporary
period only and that there will he
no requests for . renewal Of the
privilege granted Hereunder.
As the matter now stands, the
city is unable to acquire . landing
field site until authority is granted
by the state legislature.
Planes landing in Bismarck will
always land where they see fit, how
ever, according to local men who are
interested in flying. Pilots would
rather land at the Fort Lincoln field
because it is larger and smoother,
and most Of them are unacquainted
with the army's forbidCing trespass-
The local field, south Of the North
arm Pacific troakg has been At slHheBt
I Staudstiil as far AZ improvements
are concerned because the city has
not the legal right to improve it and
keep it up.
The field is appropriately located,
er, near the city, and consists
Of so acres. The field has been
smoothed and cleared of brush at
the instance Of the aviation commit
tee Of the Bismarck Association Of
Commerce.
Planes Of the international Air
line company, Inc, Of Minot, which
carry passengers between Bismarck
and Minot daily, have been landing
1T the Fort Lincoln flying field in
the last few weeks. Passengers are
brought to the city from Fort Lin
coin in taxis and busses. If the
field south Of the weather bureau
were improved it would be more
adaptable for the passenger plane
use because Of its proximity to the
city, officials of the company in

HOOVER SILENT
ON MAINE VOTE
Heavy Majority Far Exceeds
Huge Plurality Rolled Up
by Coolidge III 1924 { s \,

Washington, Sept. 11.-(F-
Names overwhelming majority for
the Republican state and senatorial
tickets brought optimistic state
ments today from Republican leaders
generally as to the outcome Of the
presidential contest in November,
but Herbert Hoover withheld com.
ment.
Senator Curtis, the party's vice
presidential nominee, declared the
Maine result was Z "sign Of the
trend in the National election"
"The vote shows which way the
wind is blowing" he said.
Chairman Work Of the Republican
National committee issued state
ment calling attention to the heavy
majority for the G. o. r., in the
state which far exceeded that Of four
years ago when Calvin Coolidge
rolled up the largest plurality ever
received there by . presidential can
didate.
Senator Frederick H. Gillett Of
Massachusetts,, one Of 4 number Of
callers at the Hoover headquarters,
said Maine had returned an even
more sweeping majority than had
been expected. He added that this
showed conclusively that the Demo-
cratic claim Of general swing away
from the Republican party was with
out substantial foundation.
A prediction that Kentucky would
follow Names lead on November 6
was made by j. Matt Chiffon, Re-
publican National committeeman for
that state.

vened here today and the anti-Smith

aloft. Some Of them read: "All
women are for Hoover" "eight cock
tails q day with AL, 4 full dinner pail
with Hoover
The boiling delegates then started
for the exits. As they filed out they
shouted back Good bye, Tammy"
They were answered with Z roar
Get out, Republican,"
Sam johnson, delegate from Bel
ton, struck at q man whom he
thought was trying to wrench q
banner from . woman Of the anti
Smith forces. Ranger Captain Hick-
man stopped johnson and escorted
him from the hall.
With anti-Smith Democrats out
lawed by the executive committee's 3
action, two separate state Democrat
ic conventions were in prospect here
today as delegates gathered to or
ganize, certify party nominees, and
endorse the national ticket.

ton, the anti-Smith group eaucused
yesterday, but did not announce to-
days plan Of action.

decree that al delegates must
adhere to the national ticket
candidates, and any delegate failing
to pronounce the party shibboleth
would be reported to the convention
credentials committee. Every county
leader was ordered to scrutinixe be-
liefs Of his deleRates.

Icy Shore

Copenhagen, Denmark, Sept. H.
R-Bert Hassell and Parker Cram
er, flyers Of the airplane Greater
Rockford" embarked At Godthaab
today for lvieut whence they viii
sail for America. Word Of this was
received by the Greenland admins
tration department Of the Danish
government from the sheriff Of
Southern Greenland.
The message said that the flyers
were accompanied by four other
Americans, including Prof. William
H. Hobbs, Of the University of Mich
igan Greenland expedition. The
steamer Fulton is taking them to
Ivigut.
Copenhagen, Sept. 11.-(R-Twice
victorious over death in the arctic,
Bert Hassell and Parker Cramer,
pilots Of the airplane Greater Rock
ford, were safe today after having
been shipwrecked in the icy waters
Of Greenland.
The airmen, who were rescued two
weeks after q forced landing and q
trek across q wild and unexplored
waste, were travelling dow. the coast
on Sunday in q motor boat when it
struck rock at the mouth of Simiu-
TAX Fjord, on the southwestern coast
Of Greenland. The boat sank but the
flyers and their six companions, in
cluding Professor William H. Hobbs,
leader Of the University of Michigan
Greenland expedition, escaped to the
desolate shore.
Once they had gained land the
eight men found themselves in need
Of food and fuel. Two natives made
their way in small boat to Kangan-
ing and obtained aid.
The sheriff of South Greenland in
reporting the latest mishap Of the
flyers to the Greenland administra-
tion department said that efforts
were being made to raise the sunken
boat. The vessel had been chartered
from q company Of Greenlanders at
Holsterborg for transportation pur-
poses.
Hassell and Cramer were rescued
by members Of the Hobbs expedition
on September 2 when their smoke
signals were seen. They made .
forced landing at Point Sukkertop-
pen on August 19 when trying to
reach Mount Evans on the second
leg Of their flight from Rockford,
ILL.,, to Sweden.
Hassell and Cramer apparently
were making their way to 1vigtut to
catch the ore steamer Wagland
which is scheduled to leave there
about September 20 for Philadel-
phia. Professor Hobbs had arranged
for some members Of his party to 60
to America on that vessel and had
requested the Danish government>to
permit Hassell and Cramer to &C.
company this group.

With Mrs. Mellus Preced.
ing Death

Los Angeles, Sept. 11.-R-Leo
p. Kelley has determined to tell
everything or nothing" when he
mounts the witness stand in his
murder trial here, probably today.
The Butcher Boys" counsel, S.
s. Hahn, announced this yesterday
after Kelley had dictated q long ac-
count Of his story Of the events pre-
ceding the death Of Mrs. Myrtle
Mellus, his wealthy sweetheart Of
whose murder he is accused.
"He insisted on telling the whole
story Of his romance with Mrs.
Mellus or none Of it," said the At
torney after three and : half hours
of listening to that account.
Superior Judge Fletcher Bowron
repeatedly has ruled out anything
except the immediate history Of the
five year romance on the ground
that earlier happenings were "too
remote" The court also refused to
hear testimony that smacked Of Z
"scandalous nature" This objection
also might Be used to censor the
young meat cutters version Of the
tragedy, Hahn said.

Inez Gontka, II year old Hazelton
girl who has confessed to killing her
father, Charles Gontka, will not be
arraigned for . day or two, due to
other matters pending before county
officials, it was said today.
The girl has been released in the
custody Of Sheriff Fischer Of EN-
mons county. At coroners inquest
which ended late yesterday, the
name Of Howard Redmill, 18 year
old farm hand, was mentioned in
connection with the murder, but the
girl declared that he had nothing to
do with the case. She did say, how
ever, that he might have encouraged
her.
States Attorney Coventry said to-
day that he believed the youth had
little to do with the staying, and that
Redmill would not be held.
