Chicago, May 24.-(P)-Somewhere
around Chicago today police were ex-
pecting to find the body Of q man
killed by machine guns
The first act of what appeared to
be another ride" murder took place
early today at cast 18th street and
Champlain avenue. A man, who may
have been killed by now, ran up to q
taxicab driven by Melville Oliver and
told him to hurry up and drive me
out OF this neighborhood" The man
carried revolver in his belt.
Shortly afterward a large car
crowded divers cab to the curb. A
man walked over to the cab, opened
the rear door and addressing the fare
said: Come on. get out" This man
carried q suh-machine gun. Oliver
said.
The man in the cab protested, say
Ing: Ernie. remember I'm married
man. Don't shoot, please" The 9TH
er snarled. Never mind, get out or I'll
shoot you where you are"
The passenger got out and Was
driven away in the other car, Oliver
told police. There were four men,
bers Of the kidnapping party.

ion the victim may have been re-
moved for fear Of what he might re-
veal in connection with those two

Mrs. johnson set forth through her

shutting 1t off to save the spring. He
further would take the clock to his

IS SLOPE NEED, SAYS MAYOR
Lenhart Declares Capital City
Must Live U, to It's Stra-
tegic Leadership

Bismarck's business and profession
al men are giving strong support to
the proposal to bond the city for
$l25,000 to build a joint city-county
memorial building. a survey being
made by The Tribune indicates.
A partial canvass of the business
and professional section, which still is
under way, has SO far failed to reveal
any opposition to the proposal. The
Tribune is seeking statements on both
sides of the matter now before the
community and to be voted on by the
electors Friday, May 81.
The idea Is not SO much to discover
how the vote is going as to learn what
the feeling of leading business and
professional men and taxpayers Is to-
ward the proposal. Through the col
umns Of the paper the community
may thus take counsel together. Rea-
sons that are felt germane to support
for. or opposition to. the project are
thereby given general circulation. The
result is informative for the body of
the city electorate. Voters may learn
reasons that may not have occurred to
them for casting their ballots one way
or the other.
The questions before the community
are whether there shall be q bond is
sue in the amount Of SIPS, 900 toward
the erection Of such building for
community purposes, and whether the
city's debt limit shall be increased 3
per cent to permit this issue.
The business and professional men
of the city are being asked the same
qsiestiors3 sWhat do you think of tho
proposal to bond the city for the cree
tion Of a Joint city-county memorial
building as proposed by the American
Legion and the service clubs? Are you
in favor Of it?'

MILL AND ELEVATOR

Reported Profit During

Why Profit Is Shown in
Comparison to April
THINKS SOMETHING WRONG

Operation Of the state mill and
elevator at Grand Forks resulted in
loss of $49.S46.08 for the first four
months Of 1929. according to figures
made public today by Governor
George F. Shafer.
During April. the loss was $24,742.e3.
Losses for other months Of this year
were January $16,S80.62 and Febru-
ary. $23.738.42
In March. however, the enterprise
turned up gain of $l5,5l5.70 after
deducting all depreciation and inter-
est charges.
That profit has been the subject of
still hunt during the last month on
the part Of Governor Shafer. When
the report of the mills business for
March was presented to him he could
hardly believe his eyes. The cxecu-
tive admits that he would like to
have accepted it at its face value, but
somehow he couldn't do it. Book
keepers and accountants at the mill
were ordered to check and rccheck
their figures. The governor felt that
something was wrong.
The accountants burned midnight
oil all during April. but still they
couldn't arrive at any other conclu-
sion but that the mill had made a
profit. Worse. they couldn't tell the
governor just how it had been done.
If he could find out how the profit
had been made he would be on the
high road to success as q mill man.
