any signs of life. In his converse

WOMEN COLLECT
VALUABLE DATA

Mrs. F. H. Livingston and Mrs
!. r. Burgess accompanied the
Wolf Point delegation to Havre
last Friday, returning Sunday. Both
wavs they rave much time to col
1ecting information about swim
ming pools and their construction,
the cost of material and numerous
other important details. With the
rest of the Wolf Point crowd they
visited the Malta-Saco hot water
plunge.
At Malta they met H.. H. John
son who superintendent the con-
struction of this pool which is 81
feet long and 62 feet wide and 5
feet deep at the deepest place. Mr..
Johnson is with the federal reclaim
alton bureau and the Milk river IT.

eous and ready to give the investi-
gators any information he could
concerning pool construction in
various kinds of ground
At Chinook Mrs. Burgess n
Mrs. Livingston talked with Mr..
Shearer, manager of the Seeley
Gravel Co. High quality gravel is
found at Chinook and the Seeley
Co. in the past has supplied the
Great Northern Railway and other
large with vast quanti-
ties of washed gravel. MI. Shearer
said that at present the washing
plant is shut down. The prices OF
both washed and pittrun gravel
were quoted. Like Mr.. Johnson
Mr.. Shearer was courteous ana
helpful with information.
AS to water supply the local
women returned convinced that
this community is exceedingly
fortunate in having an ample sup
DIV of clean, soft water with its
special cleansing qualities, and a
moderately warm temperature. Pool

WASHINGTON, Oct. 22.-The
two major parties are burning up
the air with campaign speeches
which may run up the 1882 radio
expense to nearly the sum spent in
1928.
The Republicans, who four years

up to the limit of their original 1892
budget of $275,OOO, and are arrang-

The Democrats, whose 1928 radio
bill almost was equal to the Repub-

$250,000 in broadcasting Governor
Roosevelt, Al Smith and others.

GARY, Ind, Oct. 22.-Bruised and
beaten during forty-eight hours of
torture at the hands of kidnapers,
Mrs. Catherine Blanco, 20 mother
of two small children was placed
under police guard today as authorfS
ties sought to prevent an impending
liquor war here.
Mrs. Blanco, her hair singed and
her arms lacerated by razor blades,
told police she was kidnapped from
a downtown street Tuesday and was
taken to a deserted farmhouse by
two men she believed were Chicago
gangsters.
They tortured her into revealing
secrets about the liquor business of
her employe, Joe Sannicola Gary
confectioner, she said.
Thrown From Auto
It was not until the ahductorS
threatened to kill her children that
she talked" Mrs. Blanco told police.
She was thrown from the kidnap-
ers auto near her home Friday
night. During her imprisonment,
Mrs. Blanco said she was given a
sleeping powder and then was at
tackled by the two men.
Under questioning of local officers,
Mrs. Blanco said she had acted as
a go between Sannicola
and a Gary police liquor squad. She
declared that the squad tipped"
her off to impending raids and she
in turn would remove all evidence
from Sannicola's place.
Before the police departments re-
cent shakeup, Mrs. Blanco said her
employer was paying as much as
$40 to $50 week to certain detec-
tives for protection.
New Liquor War Feared
Under agreement with the local
liquor syndicate, Sannicola was sup
posed to dispense fifteen gallons of
alcohol daily, police asserted the
young mother told them.
His business was so good that he
was buying two additional five-gal-
Ion cans daily from another source,
she said.
THE men who kidnapped me said
Sannicola was doing too much
business and the other bootleggers
were complaining. They wanted to
know where he was buying the
other two cans of alcohol and where
he kept them"
Police were ordered to keep a close
watch on all suspected bootleggerS
today in the belief that the kid
mapping might pfecipitate another
liquor war.

DENY FARMER PICKETING
AFFECTS RELIEF LOANS
Farmers March on Washington Is
Scheduled for December.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 22.-The
Reconstruction Finance Corpora
ton today denied "emphatically and
definitely" that state authorities in
Minnesota had been ordered to stop
farmers picketing before any loans
would be granted for work relief in
that state.
A report to this effect reached
Washington from Minnesota, where
farmers are picketing the highways
to prevent produce from reaching
the market, and where organized
groups of farmers are electing rep
resentatives to go to Washington by
truck early in December to present
demands to the administration and
to congress.
The farmers march is scheduled
for Dec. to 10.
