their families in the city were starv-

These repeated blows on the head

could very readily have killed Mes

The New York Telegram, a CAPT.
talist sheet, reports further brutal
ity and murderous assault on Mes
sin. The final edition of the Tele-
gram on Thursday says:
"The police, say wit
nesses, kicked him
(Nessin) and one de-
tective with apparent
deliberation sepped on
his head and ground
his heel. Policemen and
detectives used \ their
blackjacks freely on
the heads of Nessin
and his companions as
they dra g ged them
down the stairs"
The capitalist reporters saw the
murderous attack against Nessin
and the other workers. Walker or
dered this attack. If Nessin is

Is Run Out of Hall;
Lealess Speaks

NEW YORK.-When the unem-
ployed council delegation got inside
City Hall, they sat down in the
rear. When the Teachers pension"
item was called, j. Louis Engdahl,
Communist candidate for lieutenant
governor, got up and attempted to
present the demands of the unem-
ployed workers.
Engdahl told about growing un-
employment. Walker tried to in
terrupt his speech every few words.
He said they could speak later. But
Engdahl kept right up talking,
showing up the fact that the unem-
ployed were starving, and that right
now was the time to consider I'M
employment relief.
Walker ordered Engdahl evicted
from the hall, when Engdahl re-
fused to stop speaking in behalf of
the unemployed workers.
When Engdahl was elected by

Chicago, Sept. 24.-(P)-DirectorS OF
the American Farm Bureau federation
announced today they will give i'm
mediate attention to what they term
ed Russian communistic activities in
the United States threatening the
welfare of the American farmer"
A statement issued by M. S. Win
der, secretary of the federation, said
the board of directors will meet OctO-
Der 2 and 3 to receive a report of an
investigation Of the alleged cOmmun-
list activities as made by officials Of
the organization. Secretary Of Agrl-
culture Arthur M. Hyde, who recent

ing to manipulate the Chicago wheat
market by short selling, had indicated
he will be present, the statement
said.
Winder said further the directors
would consider a proposed Legislative
program which would limit futures
trading to 100000 bushels in any
one deal, or which would not leave a
%speculator in a net position, long OF
short, in any one future in excess OF
1000, 600 bushels at any one time.
In addition to specifying certain
other acts as unlawful the proposed
program declares that "short-selling
and long buying in amounts which
the market is unable to absorb read
lily, by persons having only a specula-
tive interest in the market, upset and
disturb prices and are an unnecces-
sary burden on interstate commerce

blem chairman for the national fed
Grafton of B. p. w. clubs, who was
one of the delegates to the meeting in
st. Louis when the national group
was organized. Miss Bakersfield en-

of the emblem, and told interesting
incidents connected with the early
years of the federation. Miss Bauers-
field is a past president of the Kansas

BURGLAR VISITS
GAME Commission
Three Firearms, Confiscated by
Officers, Are Taken
by Thief

Two high-powered rifles and a
shot gun have been stolen from the
racks of confiscated firearms stored
at the quarters of the State Game
and Fish commission, Main avenue
and Third street.
The theft seems to have been COM
mitted Sunday night and by some
body who knew the layout of the
building. The guns were stored in a
room back of the office. Entrance to
this was gained from the Sidewalk
and up through the cellar.
A screen over a sidewalk window
into the basement was torn off, the
window "jimmied" and entrance to
the upper floor then gained by climb
ing up the old elevator shafe. Pins
in the hinges of the door to the room
were removed and the door opened.
The guns in the rack were all han
died and the best three in the lot
taken.
When Deputy Commissioner Louis
| Knudtson went to place some ducks
in a rear shed Tuesday, he noticed
the broken door and discovered the
theft.
The deed was plainly the work Of
! somebody who had seen the guns
placed in the racks at the time the
commissioner moved into the place,
and with the aid of fingerprints the
! commissioner is certain the mystery
can be solved, as the number of per-
sons who knew the place and the
storage of the guns there is limited.

HEARING FOR
SUSPECTED ROBBER
Believe Man Held at Crookston
Was One of Trio Which
Slew Ray Police Chief

Crookston, Mimi, Sept. 24.-P)-
Preliminary hearing for Tex O'Con-
nor, 20 years old, identified as a
member Of a bandit trio which robbed
a store and filling station here and
suspected of killing the police chief
of Ray, N. D., will be held Thursday.
O'Connor'S arrest is the first step
in solving a series Of northwest rob-
berries in the last 30 days, according
to police. He and two companions
are wanted for two rObberies here
late in August, Jewelry store robberies
in Devils Lake and Bemidji and a
car theft in Bemidii they said.
O'Connor was arrested when a
holdup was frustrated at Melrose.
Since his arrest two companions
are alleged to have stolen a a In
Henning for use in a getaway after
p jewelry store holdup in Bemidji.
Both men have prison records at
Saltwater and pictures of them re-
ceived from the prison have been
identified here, at Bemidji, Devils
Lake and Ray, officers asserted.
The men were last heard of Thurs
day when they tried to sell in Huron,
S. D., a ring which was part of the
loot Of the Bemidji robbery. Police
of North Dakota, Minnesota, Wis
consin. and Iowa are looking for the
pair on various counts, officers say.
The first trace of the identity Of
the men believed responsible for the
series of crimes, came from tipsters
who told North Dakota officers the
men Dragged of their deeds in under
world dives.
Deputy Sheriff Earl Gordon of Will
liams county, N. D.. was here today
seeking to connect O'Connor with the
Ray and Devils Lake crimes. Devils
Lake authorities were expected also.
Pictures Of the two companions of
O'Connor have been identified as
those of men who robbed a pool hall
in Mandan, N. D., of $500 in August,
according to police. Their names
were withheld.
Victims of the Mandan robbery
were reported en- route here to identi-
fy O'Connor and also officials of
Morton, Williams and Ramsey coun-
ties in North Dakota, all of whom
will seek to connect him with crimes.
O'Connor today admitted having
been with the two missing bandits in
North Dakota last month. He previ-
ously denied their acquaintance prior
to the robbery attempt in Melrose
which led to his capture.

DISTRICT GOVERNOR
GUEST OF ROTARY
Commends Activity of FriendIi-
ness; Community Chest
Solicitors Named

Bismarck Rotary club entertained
the district governor, Will j. Steven
son, at the noon luncheon today.
Governor Stevenson is a Minneap-
oils banker. This is his first full
week on the circuit of official visits
to Rotary clubs in the district. lie
came here from jamestown, tO1nOr-
row he goes to Mandan to visit the
club there and the following Gay will
see him at Dickinson.
In his talks the governor is stress
ing individual development and
f%riendlinesS among Rotary members
instead of the general objects Of the
organization.
He made a talk today in exposition
Of this view, in which he said that is
the real fundamental of the Rotary
idea-to develop friendliness and thus
develop the individual. It even has
been said for that attribute, he COM
mented. that Rotary was founded by
four lonely men in Chicago who had
no six shooters.
Now, however, acquisition of friends
has become a lost art, he said. To
regain it implies to practice goodwill.
He continued this development of the
idea up to his concluding comment,
that Rotary is the development
among it's members of the spirit of
service based on friendliness and
goodwill, to be expressed through
every relationship of life"
Governor Stevenson also enjoined
good citizenship expressed in exercise
of the franchise. He said the right to
vote was not a natural right but one
acquired through suffering and strug-
gle and sacrifice by the ancestors Of
the living generations. Indifference
to exercising the right, the duty and
privilege of voting was, he said, the
supreme and most vicious indiffer-
ence.
President John Hoffman named the
committee of Rotarians who are to
assist in the solicitation Of funds for
the community chest. He selected
David Wells, Dick Tracy. L.. K.
Thompson, B. K. Skeels, Kelly Simon
son, w. E. Perry, Henry Murphy,
Frank Murphy, John Peterson. Fred
Copelin, Louis Bechtold, Hal Dobler,
A. j. Arnot, Roy Logan and John
Larson.
A program committee for October
was named, the members being w. E.
Perry. Henry Murphy, T. R. Atkinson
and r. f. Bonham.

PEOPLES FORUM
Bismarck, N. OAK,
Sept. %, 1890.
of The Tribune.

Editor OF The Tribune:
Permit me to impose upon you once
again, and to urge that you give some
of your valuable space in order to give
publicity to accident facts. I make
bold to do this because it offers the
only possible method at the present
time. The legislative limitations up
on the total amount we may spend
places the bureau in the position
where it can not even meet the legiti-
mate expansion program demanded
by this continuing development of
new high records for accidents.
We must, therefore, solicit the aid
of public spirited citizens, and partic-
ularly newspapers, If We are to combat
this growing tendency. Accidents are
growing not only in number, but the
proportion of severe accidents to total
accidents is also increasing at an en-
OrmOuS rate. This establishes rather
definitely that the explanation is not
in any increased payroll exposure, nor
in greater familiarity with the law,
nor in increased reporting of minor
cases.
Using the period July to July, and
starting with july LIST, 1919, when the
bureau was established, accidents
have run as follows: first year, 827;
second, 1896; third, 1892; fourth,
1854; fifth, 1909; sixth, 2,11O; sew
enth, 1890; eighth, 3,188: ninth, 1905;
tenth, 1895; eleventh, 5,773.
These nariDIS worn fnllOura6 NV tho
July and August records of 1880, total
ing 1857 for the two months, exceed
ing the totals for the first and third
years, and almost equaling the total
for the second year. Present indica-
tons are that the 18th year will prob
ably reach a total Of 1000.
Recognizing that my repeated refer
ences have not impressed the public,
l am going to submit a tabulation

Stock Prices Melted
By Selling Pressure

New York, Sept. 24.-CPJ-A break
of So to $40 a share in scores of active
stocks today was checked in the late
trading by short covering which re-
duced the extreme declines to more
moderate proportions.
Heavy selling throughout most OF
the afternoon stepped up the VOL

the largest since late in June. A late
rally in wheat stopped the decline at
the beginning Of the final half hour
but offerings increased on the en-
suing rally and the market turned
downward again until the last ten
minutes, when some sharp rebounds
appeared.

herewith that will. l hope, bring the
situation home to employers and en-
ployees. These two groups must get
the picture, and make definite and
determined efforts to stem this high
recording, or they need not be sur
prised at anything that may result
therefrom.
The tabulation I refer to is a tabu-
lation of accidents by counties for the
first eight months of 1880. 1t shows
that Burleigh county leads all others
for accidents, l accident for each A
of the population and 227 for each
10000 of population for this eight
months period.
It will be recognized, at once that
a large part of Burleigh county is
rural, whose population does not
come within the terms Of the compen-
sation act. If we assume that the ur-
ban population has n worker for
every four, We arrive at the astound-
ing conclusion that. during this Pc
Rod of eight months, about Is or II
out of every 100 people gainfully en-
ployed have been injured. Cass,
Stark, Morton. Ward, Mercer, and
Williams counties are also way beyond
any reasonable figures. but Burleigh
stands in a class all by itself. The
total payroll exposure for the calen-
dar year of 1925 was more than 20 per
cent greater than that of 1929, yet the
calendar year of 1929 showed ar in
crease of 100 per cent in accidents
over 1925. These seven counties,
therefore, should inaugurate d
maintain intensive programs of edu-
cation towards accident prevention,
with Grand Forks, Barnes and Adams
also falling in line. I plead for active,
whole hearted, ION the ground eff
fort on the part of employers and
workers all over the state, but partic-
ularly in these counties.
