Tuesday.
Cardozo's nomination is assured OF
confirmation.
Anderson, who described himself
as general secretary of the American
Protestant Alliance, said Justice Car
dozo's memorandum refusing me lib
erty awaiting the decision of his court"
was more worthy Of the most Slip
perry police court pettifogger than of
a prospective justice of the supreme
court OF the United States
Anderson served term In Sing
Sing upon conviction of altering the
books Of the Anti-Saloon League of
New York, OF which he was state SUI
perintendent. He said Friday the

given it sooner had he not been
warned his parole would be revoked.

Find New Great
Caribbean Depth

Washington, Feb. 19.-(R)-A
new great depth in the Caribbean
sea. $4,000 feet. has been discov-
cred, giving scientists possible
new clue to origin Of earthquakes
such as recently rocked Santiago,
Cuba.
The new depth, 1000 fathoms
or nearly five miles, greatest ever
measured In that region, has been
located almost on the spot where
the Santiago earthquake CEN
tered.
Some scientists believe the
Bartlett Deep" where the meas
urement was made. Is q surface
indication of a line Of inward
"buckling" Of the earth,s crust,
perhaps caused by shrinking Of
the crust as the interior cools.
Earthquakes around the Carib-
bean originate along such q lire
Of "buckling." according to the
theory Of d.. F. A. Vening

OF BEN MARC0VlTZ
Record Crowd Hears Closing
Pleas of William LANCER
and John F. Sullivan
A Burleigh county jury was ex-

A Burleigh county jury was ex-
pected to retire Friday afternoon to
consider the case of Ben Marcovitz,
Bismarck Eerchant charged with re-
ceiving stolen property in connec-
ton with the theft of a poultry
shipment here in December.
The largest crowd in the history
of the Burleigh county district court
was on hand at the morning session
to hear spirited arguments of coun-
sci for both defense and state in
summing up the case for the jury.
The court room was damned to
capacity and spectators unable to
get in stood in groups along the
corridors in the hope Of getting
seats. Doors from the court room
into the judges chambers and clerk
of courts office were left open so
that spectators gathered there might
get q view of the proceedings.
Innocence Is Protested
In a plea which lasted for more
than an hour, William LANCER, at
torney for the defense, protested his
clients innocence and charged the
state with the necessity Of proving
his guilt beyond all reasonable doubt.
John F. Sullivan, in his arguments
for the state, dwelt on alleged dis
crepancies in Marcovitz's testimony
and was caustic in his references to
the case set up by the defense.
The charges against the defendant
grew out of the purchase Of con-
signment of turkeys stolen from the
Northern Pacific railroad. The pros
ecution seeks to prove that Marco
yitz, as a partner in the Bismarck
Produce company, purchased the
turkeys, knowing them to be stolen.
The states case centered around tes-
timony given by Tom Brown, Hugh
Caya, and E. D. Ditch, now serving
prison terms for completely in the
affair.
Purchase Is Admitted
The defense admitted the purchase
of the birds but denied the defend.

stolen. Marcovitz, testifying in his
own behalf, said that his connection
with the produce concern was a fl
nancial one and that the details Of
the business were left to his part.
ner, Ditch. He admitted paying fol-
the stolen shipment in cash but tes-
titled that he had done so at Ditch's

Gated Marcovitz as q party to the
theft.
The case opened Tuesday morning

GRAVE CONCERN FELT
 F0R MEN WHO HAVE
 BEEN M|sS|NG 10 DAYS

A search party was authorized today by U. S. Commissioner E. F. Harwood for Bob Johnston, Seward resident, and Howard Long, Lake Kenai chicken rancher, who have been missing Is days in the Cooper Lake area where they had gone to hunt for moose.
 Bob Gehling and A. Emms will begin the search as soon as the wind moderates on Lake Kenai. Both are expert boa men and hunters.
 Much concern has been felt To- cally for some days but last week it was reported that a letter had been received from Bob in which he said they had not got a moose yet and were remaining; but, ac- cording to the family, no letter was received. The report was in error.
 Mrs. Johnston is with Mrs. Long at the lake ranch and their anxiety is great.
 Johnston and Long left in the latter's boat and it is quite possi- ble the men may have been ma rooned somewhere if hte craft had drifted away, which did happen once before.
 The Seward marshal's office will have KFQD broadcast the known particulars this evening, requesting that listeners who have any knowl edge of the men, get in immediate touch with the office.
