SAYS ENFORCEMENT HURT

Washington, Nov. 18.-(R)-The
drive for a change in federal liquor
laws gained impetus Friday from an
by Senator Vanden-
berg, Michigan Republican, that he
favors immediate submission of q
prohibition repeal amendment and IL
beralization Of the Volstead law.
Vandenberg's announcement, made
in a formal statement, came as anti
prohibitionists in the house were seek
ing to have the ways and means COM
mttee draft beer bill In time for
presentation when congress convenes.
Chairman Collier agreed to refer to
committee members a suggestion from
Representative O'Connor, of New
York, leader of the Democratic wet
bloc, that the group meet before con-
gresS conveneS to draft q beer mea-
sure.
Majority Demands It
Vandenberg said he was in favor of
immediate resubmission of the 18th
amendment" because "a just regard
for the rights of majorities and the
validity of law enforcement demands
it."
The Michigan senator voted last
session against the proposals for legal
izing and taking beer, but on the last
day Of the session, after the party
conventions, voted with the senate
majority to consider the resolution Of
fered by Senator Glass (Dem.. Va.)
to repeal the 18th amendment and
substitute ban against the saloon.
The vote in Michigan repeating the
state prohibition act, Vandenberg
said, demonstrates two out OF three
voters demand a change" He char
acterized the result as IAN undeni-
able mandate"
Are Entitled To Right
For two reasons" he continued,
1T should be validated at once. First:
Citizens who have spoken SO convinc-
ingly are entitled as right of popu-
lar government to the earliest oppor-
tunity to complete their conception
of ordered temperance.
Second: Pending this conclusive
action there is an interlude of chaos
which injects infirmity into all law
enforcement, precipitates new disputes
over federal and state cooperation,
skaters morale, and encourages law
less and untaxed liquor ATTITUDES.
Vandenberg said the repeal proposal
should preserve federal cooperation
in protecting self-elected dry territory
from wet invasion, favored state &C
ton to continue to outlaw the saloon"
and said he would vote for beer leg
islation that "stays within the consti-
tuition"

Details Withheld From Public
While Police Laid Traps
For Perpetrators
CRIMES SAID 'AMATEURISH'
Don Whitman and w. p. Davies
Threatened With Death in
Lieu Of Money
CRIMES SAID 'AMATEURlSH'

Grand Forks, N. D., Nov. 18.-tF-
Extortion attempts against two
prominent Grand Forks men-Don
Whitman and w. P. Davies-in which
the two victims were threatened with
death unless they paid the extortion-
list" a total of $2,50O-were revealed
late Thursday.
The homes of both men have been
under police guard since Tuesday
night, the would-pe extortionists
having escaped two traps set by po-
lice.
Whitman, manager of the J. G.
Penney company store here, was met
at his home Monday evening by q
masked, armed man who compelled
Whitman at the point of q gun to
drive him about the city while the
extortionist delivered his demand for
$4,000.
Davies, editor Of the Grand Forks
Herald, received two demands
through the mail at his home, one
letter mailed early last week and the
other Monday of this week. Both
notes instructed Davies to place $500
In box and leave it at a designated
place on University avenue and
threatened death If he did not
comply.
Followed Instructions
Whitman followed the instructions
of the masked man, but was not
given signal" to deliver the pack
age of money on the road past the
cemetery as his assailant said he
would. He returned the package to
the city.
Police deposited a box In accord
ance will. the Instructors roi,sss...s1ed
In the second letter to Davies, but
no one called to pick 1t up and it was
brought back to police headquarters.
Information regarding the two ex-
tortion attempts was withheld until
Thursday night in order to allow the
police more time to work and in be-
lief that the perpetrators might ap-
pear again.
Chief of Police Henry Knudson ex-
pressed opinion the two attempts
were made by different men. The
Davies attempt appeared to be the
work of crank, while there were
said to be a few professional touches
to the assault on Whitman, although
the entire operation was amateurish.
Wore knitted Hood
The masked man approached Whit
man about $3.50 p. m. Monday as he
stepped from his car at his garage.
He wore a knee-length sheeplined
coat and his face was covered by a
knitted wool helmet with holes for the
eyes. Covering Whitman with gun
concealed in his pocket so that the
pressure of the muzzle showed
through the cloth, he ordered Whit
man into his car.

AGED PRESIDENT OF
GERMANY IS FACING
POLITICAL TANGLES
Won Hindenburg Seeks Success.
sor to Won Papen Accept
able to Reichstag

Berlin, Nov. Is. -R-The full
weight Of Germanys domestic crisis
fell upon the aged President Won
Hindenburg Friday as he set out
grimly to attain his cherished ideal
Of . national concentration govern
-ment tolerated, at least, by the dead
locked reichstag.
The president started out alone on
the difficult road he has charted for
himself as a result Of the resignation
Of the junker cabinet of Franz Won
Papen. That government stepped
aside Thursday after two elections had
failed to give it working hold on
the reichstag.
Only the presidents secretary was
called to accompany the president at
conferences with various party lead
erS-each in private.
Selected for these talks Friday were
Alfred Hugenburg, the nationalist
party leader, Eduard Dingledey, the
German peoples (populist) party
chief, and DR.. Ludwig Kaas, acting
for the Catholic centrist party.
Saturday the chief executive will
see Adolf Hitler, leader of the most
powerful single group in the reichs-
tag, the National Socialist, and Dr.
Schaeffer Of the Bayarian peoples
party.
The socialists were not invited be-
cause Of their brusque refusal to meet
the resigning chancellor, Won Papen
Tuesday. Nothing was said, either,
OF the communists.
The presidents idea of a national
concentration government was said to
be q cabinet appointed by him and
responsible primarily to him, but sup
ported, or at least tolerated, by the
reichstag, which itself has no single
group or coalition commanding ma
jority.
Among several suggestions for the
CHARACTERISTIC appears the name Of
DR.. Heinrich Schnee, who recently re-
signed from the peoples party, whose
leader was designated one Of the
presidents conferees Friday.

CHANGE IN
HOUSING PLANS FOR
1888 LEGISLATURE
Would Divide Big Hall in Me.
mortal Building to Form
Two Chambers

Both the house and senate cham
beers for the twenty-third legislative
assembly, which will meet here next
January, will be located on the main
floor of the World War Memorial
building under a plan to be presented
to members Of the state board Of ad-
ninistration and representatives OF
the two legislative branches In the
near future.
The proposal is to erect two sound
proof walls in the great hall from
east to west, with q hallway between
thus providing two separate cham
bers for the conduct Of legislative dis
cussions. Each hall would have q bal
cony to which access could be had
without entering the chambers and
advocates of the proposal contend
that the cost of the proposal would
be less than II the arrangements made
for the 1891 session were duplicated
again.
Two years ago the city auditorium
was used as house chamber with
the speakers desk on the stage. In
order to provide room for the desk,
of members 1t was necessary to re-
move every other row of seats and te
build special desks with the front leg.
longer than the back ones In order
to accommodate the equipment to the
slope of the floor.
Committee rooms for both house
and senate were located In what are
now the American Legion clubroom
the dining room, and other parts o.
the building.
The senate chamber was located II
what now is the lower gymnasium.
One Of the difficulties encountered
at the last session was that Of heating
the auditorium, with the doors con-
stantly opening.
Under the proposed arrangement
committee rooms would be provided
under the balcony Of each house, the
whole layout being the most compact
ever devised for legislative session
in North Dakota.
The modern heating facilities in
stalled in the new building are declar-
ed ideal to meet the need for comfort
on the part of. the states lawmakers
fans being located in each corner Of
the great hall to drive warm air into
it.
Mailing and bill rooms would be To-
Gated in the lobby of the Memorial
building and all other legislative faci-
lities would be housed under the
same roof.
The suggestion, however, would pre-
vent basketball games from being held
on the main floor of the building dur
ing the winter and these conflicting
interests must be harmonized II the
proposed plan is adopted.
The proposal and the alternate pro-
vided by the previous arrangement
will be considered at joint meeting
of the board Of administration, legis-
lative representative and the board
Of managers of the World War Me-
mortal building to be held in the near
future.
Mayor A. P. Lenhart who, together
with George F. VIII, chairman Of the
board of county commissioners, COM
prises the board of managers of the
building, said the attitude OF the board
will be to make whatever arrange
ments the legislators prefer II 1t is
physically possible to do so.

Relief Bill Inadequate
A. F. of L. Council Saws

Atlantic City, N. 1.-THE execut-
tive council of the American Fedora
alton of Labor expressed deep regret
that the so-called unemployment re-
lief bill jammed through the last days
of the recent session of the u. S.
congress at Washington was a puny
attempt to meet a drastic condition.
William Green, president of the
federation, said the relief afforded by
the measure was inadequate. at may
mean that a special session of con-
gress will have to be called by win
ter to deal with the situation" he
continued. II do not see how a spe-
cial session can be avoided, as the
appropriation in the bill is insufficient
to meet the requirements of the un-
situation. The adjourn
ment of congress will not help the
economic situation. Something more
definite and concrete must be done"
