Conduct Disaster Inveeti.
CATION
PAYS TRIBUTE TO FLYERS
Reports Foreign Situation Is
Peaceful and Internal Out
look Good


Rome, July 23.-(AP)-Premier
Mussolini told the council Of minis
ters today that a complete investiga-
tion into all phases Of the Italia
disaster would be made by italy and
that any proposed investigation
would be Immediately rejected.
Such inquiry, the premier
stressed, "will naturally be made in
Italy and by Italian personalities.
Any other hypothesis is absurd and
offensive and whatever it might be
or wherever the proposition came
from, it would Immediately be re-
jected."
Meanwhile it should be recorded,
he said that the first to see the be-
leaguered group was Major NADIA
lena. the Italian flyer who went
north whit a Savoia- Marchetti ma
chine.
The premier added that the coun-
Gil of ministers would be interpret
ing the sentiments of the Italian
people in thanking all those con-
tributing to the rescue operations,
especially the crew of the Russian
ice cutter Krassin an in paying
homage to the memories Of DR.. Finn
Malmgren, Swedish meteorologist,
and Vincenzo Pomela, motor attend
ant.
Pays Honor to Flyers
The premier then paid tribute to
the brilliant flight Of Ferrarin and
Del Prete from Italy to South
America as "having exalted the ma
tion's righteous PRIDE"
Reviewing the foreign situation,
he noted the cessation of diplomatic
tension with Austria and the re-
sumption of normal relations be-
tween the two countries, the signing
Of commercial treaty with Hun
gary. Italy's adhesion to the Kel-
logg pact, the conclusion and initial
ing of the Tangier agreement, the
signing of an accord with Persia and
the initiation Of conversations, with
china's Nanking government fol
lowing denunciation Of the old
treaty.
On the internal situation, the pre-
mier mentioned with intense salts
faction the decrease in unemploy-
ment and improvement in agricul-
tural conditions. Everything
seems to point to a harvest notably
superior to that Of 1927" he said.

20 PER CENT
GAS RATE CUT
FOR BISMARCK
Consolidated Utilities to Be
Merged With Montana. Da-
k0ta Power Co.

Bismarck will get q reduction in
gas rates of approximately 20 per
cent as soon as an application filed
with the state railroad commission
Saturday is acted upon by that body,
James Trimble. manager Of the Con-
solidated Utilities company, an
nounced today.
Coincidentally with filing . reduced
schedule for gas consumers the
company filed application for merg-
ing Of the Consolidated Utilities
cor pany with the Montana Dakota
Power company and the right to do
business under the latter name.
The company will pipe natural
gas from the Cabin Creek field, near
Baker, Mon, into the Black Hills
Of South Dakota. through southeast
ern North Dakota towns to a point
near Medora, and will then build a
pipe line across the state, closely
following the line of the Northern
Pacific railroad, which will have its
eastern terminus at Fargo, accord
ing to present plans.
The pipe line will be built in 1929.
Plans are now in the hands Of the
engineers, but it is not expected that
construction on the North Dakota
units can begin until next year.
Trimble. who returned recently
from q trip t. the Black Hills, an
nounces that the pipe line from the
Cabin Creek field will be COMPLETED
into Sturgis. Lead, Belle Fourche
and Deadwood, South Dakota. by
early August. and is expected to
reach Rapid City by early December.
Tentative plans for the line across
North Dakota are to lay the pipe in
trenches about three feet deep. For
the present only the larger towns
will be served.
With one exception-that Of q pipe
line from q Texas field to Denver,
just completed-the line Of the Mon
tana-D Dakota Power company will be
the longest in the west. It's western
terminus as now outlined will be at
Glendive, its southern at Rapid City,
and its eastern at Fargo.
The Cabin Creek fled from which
the gas is taken is the largest field
in the west and now is undergoing
extensive development.
The Montana-Dakota Power and
the Consolidated Utilities companies
now serve more than 80 owns with
electricity foK light. heat and power.
The gas line will be in additien n to its
present service.

Washington, July 23.-(AP)-A
special attempt to line up the Re-
publican agricultural and indepen-
dent votes for Governor Smith has
been launched here with formation
of the Smith Independent league.
Announcing the league organiza-
tion Sunday, Henry Clay Hans
brough, former Republican senator
from North Dakota>said he consid-
cred the election of the Democratic
candidate imperative if agriculture
is to be saved from state of peas
antry."
While national in scope, the league
plans to concentrate especially in
Montana, North and South Dakota
and Minnesota. Assisting Hans
brough will be Charles Hanson
Towne, New York editor. as vice.
chairman; and Melvin D. Hildreth,
secretary of the Wilson Independent
league of North Dakota in 1916 as
executive director.
Preliminary organization of the
league is now being conducted here,
but the working headquarters is
slated to be established in
the middlewest by September l.
Farm Plight Recognized
because there is no partisanship
in patriotism" Hansborough said in
a statement, Il consider it my duty
to support the one candidate who
regards the farmers of this country
as men and not as peasants, for
eight years the farmers have been
faithful to the party which has been
faithless to them. An examination
of the flood of reasons why this,
that or the other debatable question
is or is not the principal issue in this
campaign, leaves the independent
elector cold but not confounded. In
this frame of mind he is pretty apt
to rouse himself and decide that the
sad plight of agriculture, affecting
as it does the 80 odd millions Of
people who are fighting for their
very existence, is Of paramount con-
cern to the entire country.
"The duty Of the farmer, regard
less Of his party affiliation, may be
determined by comparing the atti-
tude of the two candidates toward
agriculture. Mr.. Hoover says in
regard to this pressing matter that
"If we can determine what are the
long views over q decade, then cur
rent practice can be better directed
toward those ends. Consideration
of the long view is vital to any pro-
gram"
To Call Conference
However, Governor Smith, the
experienced executive, proposes,
should he be elected, to Immediately
call conference consisting Of farm
leaders and expert economists, with
a view to arriving at . solution Of
the farm problems, the findings to
be laid before congress early in
December. Quite q different thing
from the long views over . decade
by the Republican candidate. Gov
ernor Smith means fortnight action,
not procrastir alton.
"It is therefore up to the farmers
themselves to do their part in No
vember if they prefer intelligent ex-
petition at comprehending hands"

ance Address

Washington, Sept. 22.-(R-The
controversy stirred up by Alfred E.
Smiths Oklahoma City declaration
on religious intolerance still swirled
and eddied today, but Herbert
Hoover was silent on the subject as
he worked away on the next address
of his campaign.
The Republican presidential can
didate seems to be content to stand
upon the statement which he made
in his acceptance address. Then he
said that "by blood and conviction
| stand for religious tolerance, both
in act and spirit" adding that 1.-THE
glory of our American ideals is the
right Of every man to worship God
according to the dictates Of his own
conscience"
Prohibition is another subject on
which the Republican nominee does
not intend to have more to say dur
ing the campaign, although it has
been repeatedly reported that he
would 60 into that proposition
again in his Elizabethton, Tenn,
speech on October 6.
Under present plans there will
be no addresses before that one,
and none between that and the one
at New York City on October is.
The New England speech will be
made late in the campaign, shortly
before his departure for California.

COWBOYS AND
INDIANS WILL
STORM R0DE0
Grounds viii Be ThrOnged
With Riders and Trick
Performers

Crowds attending the rodeo and
exposition at Bryan Park, Bismarck,
October 4, 5 and 6, will be reminded
of olden days in North Dakota.
Between 200 and 800 Indians and
cowboys are expected for the vari-
ols events which will be staged in
caanection with the program, &C.
ccrling to Mrs. c. X. Bryan, man
ager.
Airs. Bryan has received numerous
Inquiries and requests concerning
the forthcoming event, which lead
her to believe that the exposition
will be a success both in the point
of attractions and attendance.
Seventeen entries have already
been received for the horse racing
events. Entries include such noted
horses as Sheridan from Claremont,
S. D., undefeated this year. The
mare Twinkle Blue is another en-
try with q good record and Muri-
anna, owned by James Kindred, is
entered from Wadena, MINI.
In addition to the Indian and cow
boy riders, and trick performers,
there will be several high class at
fractions. Two performances will
be given daily, one in the afternoon
and the other in the evening.
All acts will be staged in
specially constructed arena directly

Chicago and former district attor-
ney, today told James w. Good,
western Republican campaign man
ager.
Since the days when their fathers
campaigned and voted for Abraham
Lincoln, the first Republican presi-
dent, under the leadership Of Carl
Schurz, the Germans in this country
have helped to build and continue
American prosperity, Mr.. VoiRt de-
clared. Their fore{athers under Won
Steuben, De Kalb, Muhlenber1 and
many other leaders helped Wash
ington to win our independence, and
even down to the time Of the World
War the descendants Of Germans
contributed rs much in manhood and
money to this country's greatness as
any other element in America.
"The German people in this coun-
try are for Hoover" Mr.. voigt said,
because they believe in high ef-
ficiency, in planning and doing, and
Mr.. Hoover represents their ideal as
thinker, planner, and Z doer.
THE German people in this coun-
sly I'LL uSVCI 4OISeC tHSC Wnen the
World War was over, and the civil
lied world was full Of hatred for
their late enemies, It was Hoover
that organized the food supplies, and
with hundreds Of ships loaded with
food, broke the allied Gordon Of war
ships blockading Germany to feed
millions of starving women and chill
dren in Germany who were innocent
mo matter who was responsible for |
the war.
"The food that Hoover sent into
Germany, statisticians say, would
fill two freight trains reaching from
New York to Chicago. He was the
humanitarian. He is the practical
idealist. He was easily first in
America in experience and ability
and efficiency, the man Of vision and
sense-best equipped to fill the pres
dency."

aims Of such an organization in Bur-

this club to act as q parent club for
similar organizations to be formed
throughout the county.
"This club will show no distinction
in regard to political parties" said
Mr.. Murphy. 1T is the intention
to enlist the aid Of both Democrats
and Republicans in the club, as there
are hundreds Of Republicans who
have openly expressed themselves as
being for Smith and Robinson, and
would support them in the general
election"
Mr.. Murphy said that the Smith
Robinson club would ingore state
political affairs, and would support
only the Smith Robinson candidates..
The next meeting Of the organiza-
ton will be held at the Burleigh

WESTERN RAILS
ASK INCREASED
FREIGHT RATES
Claim Earnings In Western
Territory Are Conspicuously
Inadequate

Washington, Sept. 22.-(R-The
first step toward instituting q gen.
eral upward revision of freight rates
in western territory has been insti-
tuted before the Interstate Com
merce commission by representatives
Of Western Trunk line railroads.
Agents of the western roads
asked the commission for permission
to file Immediately applications
looking to increases on q wide range
of commodities over most Of the
western territory, and asserted that
the increases were necessary be-
cause the earnings "for some years
have been and now ar conspicuously
inadequate"
1T has become imperative that
these lines without delay bring to
the commission constructive propos-
ais looking toward increases in ex-
listing rates and revenues" the APP
plication said. I'm these circum-
stances it seems necessary that the
commission vacate or amend GER
tain outstanding orders in such q
manner as to prevent their operation
to interfere with the carriers law
fully publishing increases in exist
ing rates"
Western railroads have contended
during recent years that their earn
ings were considerably below those
of carriers in the eastern and south
ern districts. It was further declared
that trainmen and conductors in the
western territory have pending de-
mands for wage increases which
have been pushed to the point of a
strike threat. While no mention was
made Of the impending increase in
western railroad labor costs it was
assumed that the two matters had at
least an indirect connection.
The nature and extent of the in
creases contemplated by the west
ern lines was not disclosed by the
preliminary approach to the COM
mission. It is expected that the COM
will indicate some aspects of
its views as to the proposal soon.
The preliminary proposal looked
merely to the removal of technical

has been that states, rather than

voirs and II the private corporations
