VOLSTEAD ACT VOID,
ATTORNEYSDECLARE
Appeal Case Of Woman Convict.
cd Of Liquor Law Violation
to United States Court

st. Paul. May 17.-lF1-validity Of
the volstead Act was attacked In
arguments prepared for presentation
to the United States circuit court Of
appeals today.
Conviction of Mrs. Marie Beving-
ton. Sioux City. Iowa. on charge Of
selling liquor. and with previous con-
viction. Is the basis for the appeal.
She was arrested August 10, 1928, and
after conviction was fined $500 and
sentenced to 80 days in jail.
Mrs. Bevingt0n's attorneys contend
the volstead statute Is void because
Ola United States supreme court de-
cision that portions Of the old inter-
nal revenue law were automatically
repealed by enactment Of the prohi-
bition enforcement law.
Later congress passed the Willis
Campbell law which re-enacted the
parts Of the revenue statute which
had been held illegal. This. Mrs.
Bevington's counsel argues. would
automatically repeal penalties Of the
volstead law.

AL CAPONE GETS YEAR IN JAIL
Bismarck Babe Farewell
to Custer s. Years Ago

a terrific blizzard blew out Of the
north. It ragged for another day be-
fore blowing itself out.
When the cavalry again moved, It
left behind hundreds of kernels Of
corn and the charred cmbers OF the
campfircs. The corn had been scat
tered far and wide by the tethercd
mules voraci0usly eating out Of
buckets during the storm.
Late that same fall. General George
Crook on his way back to the Black
Hills after campaign against the
Indians In Montana with General
Terry, passed along the Little Mis-
souri,. Food was scarce In the Bad
Lands. Suddenly they came upon a
cornfield. It was a living monument
to the already y-fallen Custer and
probably saved many of Crooks COM
mand from dying Of starvation.
Among persons residing In Bis
marck today who were here on May
II. 1875, to bid Custer farewell are
William A. Falconer. Mr.. and Mrs
Joe Dietrich, E. A. Williams, Mrs. j.
p. Dunn. Mrs. G. L. Pierce, Mrs.
Thomas Fortune, Mr.. and Mrs. j. D
Wakeman, Stephen Welch, Mrs
Thomas Welch. Mrs. Oscar Ward, and
Jacob Horner. who was a soldier in
the Seventh cavalry at the time.

Reichert Charges Reveal Tur.
moi| Within; Will Come to
Head at Fall Meeting
rs ATTEMPT TO DYNAMITE
Stormy Petrol Admits Effort to
Reorganize State Union
Is Well Financed
tBy The Associated Press,

A battle for the control of the
Farmers Union Of North Dakota is in
prospect.
When the state executive commit
tee Of the state organization this
week expelled G. w. Rcichcrt Of Car
rington OH charges of sedition, it
brought to, the surface a situation
which is expected to result il. bit
ter battle within the organization. It
should come to head next fall when
the union holds its annual meeting.
Reichert charges that the Farmers
Union Is not what it ought to be:
that 1t is controlled by its officials,
who stand to profit by its operations.
rather than by its members. and that
members Of the union arc not receiv-
ing from it the benefits which were
promised them. He charges that it
is not truly a cooperative and de-
mandS that It be made one.
Union officials alleged that Reich
crt is attempting to dynamite the
organization; that the union is prov
ing itself effective and that tangible
benefits are being brought to its
members with the prospect Of still
more benefits to come in the future.
They accuse Reichert with being a
traitor to the cooperative cause and
allcge that he Is being we'll paid for
his efforts to break the Farmers
Union.
Admits Ample Finances
That Reichert's campaign to effect
changes in the Farmers Union is we'll
financed is admitted. In statement
to The Associated Press. Reichert said
he has sent out thousands of pieces
Of literature to farmer union men,
bers calling their attention to situa-
tionS which he contends need corrcc-
ton. He declined. however, to state
who was furnishing the money other
than to say the movement had ample
finances, the source Of which would
be disclosed in due time.
E. E. Green. jamestown, secretary
Of the state Farmers Union. said he
has been informed that Reichert's S
activities are being financed and pro-
noted by the Central Cooperative
association of st. Paul. another CO.
operative livestock marketing associ-
alton. The reason. Green said, Is
that the Farmers Union Livestock
commission had increased it's busi-
ness while the business of the Central
Cooperative association has declined
and that Reichert's campaign repre-
sents unfair competition of one CO.
operative with another. He enters a
flat denial to all Of the charges made
by Reichert against the Farmers
Unions management.
Auto Caused Split
Rcichert's animus. he said, was Gre
ated by the fact that he was dis
missed as Farmers Union crew or
ganizer last July because he would
not purchase car for use in direct
ing the crew and otherwise neglected
the work. Shortly thereafter. Green
said. Reichert changed from Farm
ers Union advocate to one of its bit
terest enemies and started to bore
