The majority Of telescopes are mea-

Many Of the instruments trained on

they arc really more like giant test

trained low toward the northeast.

A few we're on high places. One
woman astronomer set her telescope
on top of tower EOS feet above the
surf on the coast of Cape Cod.
Around these astronomers Specta-
tors from many states massed In such
numbers that state police and town
constabulary set up military lines to
insure freedom for scientific work.
Thousands Of persons scattered pic
mic fashion throughout the eclipse
areas. They came by special trains
from as far as New York City, but
mostly in stream of automobiles.
Never before have highway police
faced such problem-auto caravans
caught by the sudden night of to-
tai eclipse. Varied instructions for
safety were issued. In some places
lights were ordered on for security.
There were general orders to stop
traffic during totality.
Sell Parking Space
Many a New England farmer hung
out a parking sign. A few put up long
temporary fences to turn 10-acre
fields into parking spaces.

FARGO victim OF
KIDNAPERS ADMITS
truth Of REPORT
Police Are Investigating Oes-
pite Kaiser's Plea That
They Drop Case

Fargo, Aug. 3l.-tR,-The Fargo
Forum wednesday said Frank Kaiser.
Fargo, who had denied he had paid
$500 last Saturday for his release
from gangsters who kidnapped him
here last Wednesday night and held
him captive in the Minnesota lake
region 2 IL days, later admitted to
the police the story was true. Con-
tinuing, the newspaper said:
Kaiser urged police to drop the
case. He said the affair was per-
soYlal one and that he was well
satisfied and considered himself lucky
to get off as easy as he did,"
Following a conference of Fargo
and Cass county authorities, however,
it was announced investigation WOULD
begin Immediately.
Up to the time the item of the kid
mapping was published no complaint
had been made by Kaiser to police
although 1t became known he had
reported the case to Mark Andrews
sheriff, with a request 1t be kept
quiet" Andrews said he had said
nothing about the incident in the
hope clue might turn up that would
help in apprehension of the kidnap-
ers, but that he had been making an
investigation.
Andrews said he believes the three
men who carried out the KIDNAPPING
are members Of gang from eastern
cities.
Kaiser told officials he would be
unable to identify the gangsterg II
he saw them and offered no sug-
cestions as to who they might be.
He was questioned at length as to
possible motive for the kidnapping
but gave none.
A Fargo insurance man. who acted
as intermediary in delivering the
money, was questioned but gave little
information.
Kaiser is at liberty under 5000
bonds pending appeal to the U. S. cir
cult court Of appeals from a convic-
ton in federal court at Fergus Falls

Will Be
HOST TO STATE AT
CAPITOL CEREMONY
Cornerstone Laying to Be o.
casion Of Celebration If
Weather Permits

If weather conditions permit Bis
marck will act as host to the people
of the state at giant celebration to
be held in connection with the laying
of the cornerstone of the new state
capitol building.
If it appears, however, that the
ceremony will take place at time
when weather conditions will pro-
hibit the entertainment of thousands
Of people. it is probable that the big
celebration will be held at some later
date.
This was the Judgment Of group
of businessmen called into conference
Tuesday night by directors of the As
ISOLATION of Commerce.
A committee was appointed to as
certain. If possible, when the corner
stone will be laid and to make recon-
mendations regarding Bismarck S
participation in the event. Members
Of the committee were j. o. Arnson,
chairman: H. ]. Duemeland, B. O.
Refvem. w. s. Ayres, j. c. Oberg,
F. A. Copelin and Harry Woodman-
see.
Speakers at the meeting, at which
]. E. Davis. association of commerce
president. presided were H. P. God
dard, secretary; Governor George F..
Shafer. F. A. Copelin and others.
No one knew when the building will
have progressed far enough to lay the
cornerstone and estimates ranged
from Oct. Is to mid November.
Official dignitaries from neighbor-
ing states and Canadian provinces
will be invited, Governor Shafer said,
and it is improbable that many Of
them will be able to attend II the
ceremony is held during the close Of
the political campaigns In which
many of them will be engaged. II
the celebration is postponed until
November the group was fearful that
weather conditions would make it linz
possible for many persons to attend.
The handicap which adverse wealth
er might impose on the ceremony
proper as we'll as on the attendant
celebration was emphasized by sew
eral speakers.
The celebration, II it is possible to
hold 1t, would serve q dual purpose
from the city Of BiSmarck's stand
point.
It would make the cornerstone lay
ing memorable event and also en-
able the city to play host to the citi-
zens of the entire state at the formal
observance Of Bismarck's victory In
the capital removal election, held last
March.
