Express Business to
Break Xmas Records

Predicting that the holiday gift
traffic this year will exceed all pre-
vlous records, F. A. Eernissee, agent
OF the American Railway Express
company here, is urging that shop
ping and shipping be done early.
Recent incoming traffic from To-
cal retail stores, according to Mr..
Eernissee, indicates that a great
volume of business is expected here
this year and that shipping will be
consequently increased.
The Bismarck office of the ex-
press company will remain open
overtime during the holidays, in
GLIDING Christmas eve, in order to
deliver all packages before Christ
mas morning.
Eernissee also urges that packages
be made strong and secured well. He
also says that needless mistakes in
addresses will cause delays, and
urges that street addresses be in
cluded in all addresses, particularly
II the packages are sent to large
cities.
He says that he has q supply Of
special labels for Christmas ex-
press shipments, and will give them
to prospective holiday shippers who
request them.

BALDWIN REPLY
GOES TO NAVAL.
AFFAIRSGR0UP
To Consider Britten'S UnOrthO.
dOx Suggestion for Navy
Reduction Meet

Washington, Dec. 4.-(AP)-
Stanley Baldwin's reply to Repre-.
sentative Britten's proposal for q
naval conference goes today before
the House Naval Affairs committee
Upon the tone of the reply depends
the result of the Illinois Representa-
tive's unorthodox suggestion de-
signed to bring the naval reduction
question out Of the doldrums.
Britten, who is chairman of the
House Naval Affairs committee,
caused some concern in diplomatic
quarters, when he sent a cablegram
direct to Premier Baldwin,. Of Great
Britain, suggesting that members of
the House Naval Affairs committee
meet with a committee from parlia-
ment in Canada in an endeavor to
reach an agreement on warcraft not
affected by the Washington naval
arms treaty.
Premier Baldwin said he recipro-
Gated the spirit which inspired Rep
resentative Britten's proposal and
shared his desire for an understand
ing between the two countries, but
his formal reply did not reach the
naval affairs committee chairman
for more than a week.
In the meantime, there were con-
ferences between Sir Esme Howard
the British Ambassador, and state
department officials. The British
embassy announced yesterday that
it had been informed that Premier
Baldwin, following Britten's exam
pie, was sending his reply direct to
the Illinois representative. The re-
ply was taken to Britten's office by
messenger and the announcement
was made that it would be laid be-
fore the naval affairs committee.

result would be in such an event
that multitudes of poor children
would be forced into state homes and
asylums, to be robbed of their re-
ligion, and lose their immortal souls.
The head and front of the recent
investigation is a Catholic, and he
was raised to power largely by Cath
Ollie votes. The whole thing is proof
to me that here in New York some
Catholics are Democrats or Repub-
leans first and Catholics afterward.
AS soon as this attitude becomes
general, the fate of the Catholic
Church in France and Mexico will
inevitably overtake the Catholic faith
in these United States. Loyalty to
God and the Church is far and away
a more precious possession than 10y
atty to this or that party in the
state, because our eternal interests
depend on the first while trifles as
little as time depend on the second.
Here and there are traitors who
arise within our Church and make
momentary havoc. The betrayal of
the Master by Judas did not disrupt
the infant Church; but it did tie the
rope Of self-murder around the neck
Of the betrayer, and, in the
language of the Scriptures, he went

NEVADA BUILDS DEATH-GAS HOUSE
FOR MANS EXECUTION

Carson City, New, Dec. 4.-(NEA)
A new "gas house" for taking human
life is to be completed at the Nevada
state prison here in the very near
! future.
And already, a prisoner has been
received who will be first to die in
the new structure, unless his appeals
upset his death sentence.
The prisoner is Robert f. White.
He was sentenced to die January IL,
1929, following conviction on a MUIR
der charge at Elko. Instead of the
gallows or the electric chair, Nevada
uses lethal gas for executions.
The old gas house, in which two
prisoners met their death, was a
temporary structure, and was torn
down in recent remodeline. Plans
were made for replacing this with a
small one-story structure. This will
now be rushed to completion for the
date set for Whites death. It may
also house the cells of condemned
prisoners as well as the death cham
Der.
Despite nationwide comment when
the gas-death method was introduced
in Nevada, the state is continuing
this method Of execution. The con-
demned man is strapped to a chair
placed in an air-tight room. Through
tubes in the walls of the room, hy-
drocyanic gas is forced into the death
chamber from small steel tank
equipped with hand pump.
In the two previous executions,
death was almost instantaneous.
Gee John, a Chinese, was first to die
BY gas. Three years ago, Stanko
Jukich was executed in the same
manner.
White, who is at the prison now
under death room sentence, was con-
victed Of killing Louis laval, an
Elko gambler. Lavall's body never
was found, but authorities charge
White burned the body after killing
laval.
And while carpenters, cement mix
ers and chemists are rearing the
"gas house" in which the state de-
clares White must die from lethal
fumes, the condemned man is carry
ing on a determined court fight for
his life.
