shot him dead.
Eleven bullets from automatic pis-
tolls drilled into the head. neck and
shoulders Of Lolordo. When he fen,
the fingers Of his right hand still
clutched the stem Of his wine glass,
shattered by the shots.
Lolorio's assassination was q &c.
quel, but whether 1t wax sequel to
the murder Of Tony Lombardo last
fall, to blackhand operations Of re-
cent months, or to some unexplained
gang hatred, police were not prepared
to say.
They were looking, however, for Joe
Aiello, eldest Of seven brothers whose
participation in gang violence has
come under police scrutiny several
times in the past.
Detectives were still ut the Lolordo
flat, questioning Lolordo's gr1ef-dis-
tracted widow. when another gang
shooting left Rocco Maggie severely

Cold Wave Threatens to Bring
sSubzero Weather After a
Summer Day in Winter

Variety in North Dakota weather,
with the mercury rising above and
sinking below the zero boundary both
frequently and Unexpectedly. has been
displayed to good advantage In Bis
marck the last three days.
Weather OF - degrees below zero
was recorded IN the city Tuesday.
Yesterday the mercury rose to - de-
grees above. Today q cold wave
threatens to bring the temperature
below zero again.
Temperature here at Z q. m. today
was 26 degrees above zero. but cold
north wind between 8 and O'Clock
sent the mercury scuttling downward.
It was only 10 above at 8 o'clock, q
above at 10 O'Clock. and s above ct
noon. Temperature dropped Is de-
grees between and . O'Clock.
Bismarck and North Dakota will b
cloudy and colder tonight. with the
temperature probably dropping below
zero. especially in the southern hall
Of the state. Temperature viii rise
tomorrow in the northwest portion.
The northern half Of the state VA
cold Ill night, the cold wave begin
ming to envelope the southern hall
this morning. All northern points re.
ported snowfall this morning and

Community HALL
Continues T0LEAD
CITY BENEFIT IDEAS
determination Of Rats Among
Humorous-Serious Propos-
ais in A. Of c. Groups

Serious suggestions coming up In
the Association Of Commerce group
conferences framing the annual pro-
gram of projects for Bismarck also
border on the humorous.
Rid Bismarck of the rats. for in
stance. Abolish the bonneville troll
ley, another. Install the vocal movies.
But there are real serious proposals.
Group E to e inclusive met Tuesday
night at the association rooms and
developed some Of these.
Try to obtain q packing plant" re-
ceived its first suggestion in this ses-
sion. There also was a suggestion Of
working to get a beet sugar factory.
Paramount in the suggestions is
that Of community building. Nearly
every card turned in has this as its
premier proposals. Sharing with the
hall proposal are those for new
county court house and new capitol.
Another item that looms large In
the collection Of sugg estions is to reg
ulate motor traffic by q city code.
There is objection to the longtime
parking Of cars and trucks along the
curbs. One suggestion made on this
problem Is that p: king be limited to
an hour. Another is to bring the
lines closer, thus decreasing the park
ing space and permitting more cars
to occupy the side portions Of the
streets.
The trouble Is that there are not
enough garages or garage space In
the city for winter parking. In sum-
mer, cars are largely left on the
streets. so garage space Is not then q
problem. More garages or extensions
Of the old ones might help to solve
this difficulty as preached In the as
ISOLATION conferences. Doing away
with night parking on the streets also
has been suggested. Attention was
called to fire hazards entailed in this
sort Of parking.
The inconvenience Of the street
crossings across the railroads also has
been injected into the conferences.
Owing to the present long freight
trains it was said by some Of those ct
the meeting. these crossings are i'm
passable for as long as half an hour
ct times. Two such trains may be
moving through and this Is the cause
Of the long bookings that were mem
toned In the complaint. The sugges-
ton based on this problem was to In
duce the Northern Pacific to put
underpasses under the tracks-at
least one or two more.
A timely suggestion made by one
Of the members was that the electric
light company be asked to blow its
whistle ct Il O'Clock noon, and ct SIX
IN the evening, Is Il done by like in
dustrieS Ia other cities Of the sire Of
Bismarck In various western places.
