LOO Pounds in so. and IS.
Pound Sacks Taken From
O. n. Will Warehouse

Eleven hundred pounds Of alfalfa
seed was stolen Tuesday night from
the warehouse of the Oscar II. VIII
company on south Seventh st. after
thieves had gained entrance to the
building by forcing q paddock on the
front door.
Sheriff J. L. Kelley, who is con-
Quoting the investigation, said We'd
nesday that the marauders evidently
had used q light truck to remove the
seed, as officers had discovered their
tire tracks on the loading platform Of
the building. From the size Of the
tracks, 1t is assumed that the truck
was q light one.
kilograms have been dispatched to
sheriffs in Minot, Fargo, Valley City.
Aberdeen and jamestown, asking
them to warn wholesale houses in
their communities to be On the look
out for the stolen seed.
It Is thought. however. that because
Of the bulk OF the seed, the thieves
would try to dispose Of their loot by
selling it to seed houses.
The seed was contained in sacks
bearing the trade mark Of the Oscar
II. VIII company. There were IL
sacks containing so pounds each and
40 containing Is pounds. The seed
was Of the North Dakota variety.

Attorney General John Fletcher In

BLAME TWICHELL FOR DELAY

Nonpartisan members. Of the North
Dakota house and senate are over
whelmingly In favor of keeping the
state capital at Bismarck and expect
to vote In accordance with that prin-
ciple, representative members Of the
Nonpartisan organization announced
following an informal meeting today.
The matter was discussed because
OF the fact that 1t had been reported
in some quarters, that there was q
prospect the League would use the
bill to construct q new capitol as q
political football
League leaders did not deny that
the possibility had been discussed
and admitted that the opportunity
exists, but said there Is no present
tendency to throw the legislative
situation into chaos by embroiling the
bill in difficulties.
I'VE assume that the I. v. A. pro-
gram for this legislature was laid
down by the governor in hts message"
said one responsible League leader.
I'VE also feel we have a right to as
sumo that party lines will not be
drawn on matters which ere not OF
sufficient Importance to warrant the
governor in discussing them. While
the message was directed primarily to
the legislature, we feel that it also
was intended to be read by the peo-
pie Of the state. That Is the reason
numerous copies were printed for dis
tribution.

CHAIRMAN DECLARES
RED CROSS WILL NOT
ACCEPT $2S,000,0o0
Robinson Answers That Govern
ment Will Set Up lts Own
Relief Organization

Washington, Jan. 28.-F)-Re-
spending to a statement by Chair
man Payne of the Red Cross that his
organization will not accept govern
ment relief funds, Democratic lead
e. Robinson said in the senate We'd
neSday congress will set up its own
agencies for distribution Of relief
fund.
The statement by Judge Payne was
In testimony before the house ap-
preparations committee hearing on
the senate's $25, 100000 appropriation
for the Red Cross. The chairman re-
vealed the central committee of the
relief organization had voted unani-
mously against acceptance.
If the Red Cross refuses to mea-
sure up to the proper standard In
this emergency and refuses to re-
spond to the ordinary impulses that
move human hearts," Robinson said,
congress will find its own agencies
for distribution Of such funds as it
feels should be used in the emer-
gency."
He said the action Of the president
and the Red Cross implies that there
shall be no general measure Of relief
for unemployment no matter how
long 1t lasts or how great 1t becomes"
He called on all senators who have
even an ordinary" regard for the
suffering to "repudiate the policy
which implies a refusal on the part of
those responsible to the people as a
whole to take any action whatever
to relieve the distress"

terms which 1t would be very hard ia
justify and without complete disor-

other security markets. with the
most serious consequences not only
to the public credit but to our entire

Continuing, he said, "but seriou;

the country would be even more sert'

quences" he listed:

Destruction of capital values run

Death Of the bond market for any

Destruction Of the market for for

VENGEANCE THREAT
SAID MADE BY MAN
FROM JOSEPHINE K
Captains Brother Charged With
Threatening Life Of Coast
Guard Captain

New York. Jan. 28.-F-A board OF
inquiry investigating the Smelling of
the Canadian rum-runner Josephine
K by the coast guard Saturday night
was informed Wednesday that one
member Of the rev threatened ven
geance for the killing the master,
Captain william P. Cluett, who was
slain by a coast guard shell.
The threat, the board was told,
came from Alfred Cluett, cook aboard
the Josephine K and brother Of the
captain.
BENEFIT Walker, cook Of the coast
guard cutter 161, which arrived at the
scene of the Smelling In the wake of
cutter 145, the boat which made the
capture, told the board the threat was
made while Captain Cluett was being
taken to a hospital on Staten Island.
IF our captain dies. your skipper
will die too" Walker quoted the
brother Of the MORALLY wounded
captain.
Walker was the first coast guards
man aboard the Josephine K. He was
equipped with q revolver, he said,
and so far as he could tell there were
no firearms aboard the rum-runner.
He added to evidence introduced at
Tuesdays session seeking to establish
that Karl Schmidt, boatswain in COM
mand Of cutter las and the man who
fired the shot that killed Captain
Cluett, was sober.

since 1928. She was 'trailed by pa
trolls 20 times and twice. the records
said, was seen by guardsmen in the

Friends Of Bismarck In over~

Announcement that representative
citizens Of Bismarck have decided to
launch an active campaign to inform
the people Of the state Of all the facts
relating to the effort to remove the
capital to jamestown was made Tues
day by F. L. Conklin. chairman Of .
Bismarck citizens committee.
MI. Conklin's statement follows:
1.-THE citizens Of Bismarck have
carefully refrained from launching IN
active fight against the jamestown
proposal to move the capital to that
city. We have done 50 In the hope
that the attitude Of the citizens in all
parts Of the state would, in itself, b
enough to discourage this movement.
We know this attitude to be definite
ly In favor Of retaining the capital
here. Expressions from individuals
In all parts Of the state indicate that
the sentiment Is overwhelming.
I'VE have canvassed the legislature
and find that members Of the North
Dakota house and senate, irrespective
of political affiliations, feel that the
capital should remain here. This is
their personal feeling and, barring
political complications, it will remain
so.
Editors Are Legion
"The sentiment of the newspapers
of the state has been overwhelming~
~ In favor of keeping the capitol in
Bismarck. Editors throughout North
Dakota recognize the movement for
just what it is, and have so expressed
themselves.
1T has been our hope that, In the
face Of this situation, the effort to
move the capital to Jamestown would
die Of its own weight: that common
sense. reason, and fair play would
prevail.
1T would seem, however. that Bis.
marck,s attitude Of restraint has been
wrongly interpreted in some quarters
as one of indifference. This Is not
the case. AS good citizens, both Of
Bismarck and the state as a whole,
we have not wanted to contribute to
the feeling which q matter Of this
kind necessarily engenders. We do
not want to do so now.
