JUNIOR COLLEGE IN
CITY PROPOSED BY
GROUP OF PARENTS
School Board to Consider Plan
Tonight; Say Taxes Would
Not Be Higher

A proposal to establish a Junior
college in Bismarck will be laid be-
fore the city school board at meet
ing in the high school building at
$50 o'clock this evening, according
to H. o. Saxvik, superintendent of
schools.
Under the plan, Saxvik said, there
would be no additional tax burden.
The junior college would be financed
entirely through tuition fees.
The proposed college would make
use of the high school building and
students would be required to fur
nish their own text books and sup
plies.
Saxvik said that neither he nor the
school board is behind the movement
for the college, but declared that in
view of the fact that no additional
tax burden would be necessary the
school board might be friendly to the
proposal.
Decision to lay the plan before the
board was reached Monday evening
by about 80 Bismarck and Mandan
parents at meeting in the World
War Memorial building.
These parents have started the
movement in view of the fact they
will be unable to send their children
away to colleges or universities this
year, whereas they could afford to
have them enroll in junior college
here.
Saxvik said that of 81 graduates
from Bismarck high school last
spring, less than 10 have asked for
transcripts Of their credits so that
they may matriculate at institutions
OF higher learning. In other years,
he said, an average of IS students
from Bismarck matriculated each fall
at out-of-town institutions. Should
a Junior college be established here,
he believes at least Is students from
Mandan would enroll.
Should the school board decide in
favor Of the proposed college, Saxvik
said. a special election for its ap-
proval would be called in the near
future. Approval of the plan by two
thirds Of the voters is necessary.
Authority to establish such junior
colleges is given school boards in a
statute passed by the state legislature
in 1881.
No such colleges have been estab-
lished yet in North Dakota, Saxvil
said. though they are numerous in
other states, particularly Iowa.

logg Pact.
Secretary Stimson, speaking before
the council on foreign relations. cited
events in the Far East last winter as
indicating how effectively the pact
may be employed in putting peace
full end to hostilities by mobilizing
public opinion against them.
He recalled the assembly Of the
League of Nations supported the
United States in an assertion 1t would
not recognize a situation, treaty or
agreement brought about by means
contrary to the covenant and obliga-
tions of the pact of Paris and made
the remark:
comes the disapproval of the whole
world, takes on significance hither-
to unknown in international law"
Japs Ask Details
In Tokyo Tuesday the japanese
foreign office asked its embassy IN
Washington to send detailed report
OF Secretary 6timson's speech.

STUDENTS HEAR
R|TCH|E CLASH
WITH ALLEN
Hoover Administration Criti-
Cized and Defended in
Debate at Chicago

CHICAGO, Oct. 1S.-The de-
bate between Gov. Albert C.
Ritchie of Maryland and Henry
L. Allen of Kansas, initiating
the governors speech-making
tour of the Middle West in be-
half of Gov. Franklin D. Roose-
welt, gave Northwestern Uni
versity students an opportu-
nifty to hear a few highlights
of criticism and commendatiOn.
Governor Ritchie spoke first,
then Allen followed. and both
were heard later in rebuttal.
Allen was substituted for Ray
Lyman Wilbur, Secretary of the
Interior, because, it was said,
Ritchie would not agree not to
criticiSe the Hoover administra-
ton.
Ritchie first asserted that the
channels of world trade had been
closed by the Republican tariff,
that the prohibition amendment
should be repealed and States al
lowed to determine their own
rights, that the Republican party's
fiscal policy had been a failure,
leading to enormous deficits, and
that after Hoover farm relief the
American farmer was in the worst
plight in history.
Allen began with a personal at
tack on Roosevelt and John N.
Garner, and said Hoover had
saved the nation $4,000, 900 900.
In rebuttal Ritchie said he didn't
know just how to answer Allen,
since the latter had avoided cam
paign issues, but he pointed out
that the budget does not balance.
Allen then launched into a de.
fenSe of the tariff and criticised
the Democratic prohibition plank
as "catch-all" which could be
knocked out by an adverse vote of
13 States.

ReSCindS Action

The Takoma Park Citizens
Bank last night received ap-
proval of its corner-lot build
ing line by the town council,
marking the end of a bitter
political battle of years stand
ing.
The council rescinded its re-
fusal of last April, which was
dominated by Ben G. Davis,
chief clerk of the rival bank,
the Takoma Park Bank. In ap-
proving the new building line,
the council notified the Mont
gomery County zoning Commits
sion that it now has no objec-
ton to the proposed edifice. The
council also asked that a perm
anent building line be set on
line with the two banks.
Growth of the Citizens Bank,
it has been charged by anti-or-
ganization leaders, has been re-
tarded for years by the DAVIS
regular Democratic forces on
the preter.e that it violated the
building line regulations of the
zoning commission.
A new application for build
ing has been filed with j, Fred
Imirie, county building inspec-
tor, providing for a five-story
bank and office building to cost
$4,000. lost of the building
stock has already oeen sold, 1T
was learned today.
Besides consideration of the
annual and quarterly financial
reports, the council voted to
map out a thorough and i'm
proved storm water drainage
system for Takoma Park, and
will ask Senator Tydings to pro-
test the delay in completing the
Piney Branch RoaL underpaSs.

STATE SPRINGS
|. NEWCHARGES
AS SURPRISE
Failure to Deliver $515,959
and Misuse of $192,300
In Funds Alleged

E. Wade Ball, former treas
urer of Arlington county, Va,
today will answer three indict-
ments returned last night by
the grand jury meeting in Ar
lington courthouse.
The former treasurer already
was under indictment for alleged
improper use of county funds. He
was acquitted recently of charge
Of misuse of State funds.
Indictment Surprise
The new indictments came as a
surprise move on the part of Com
monwealth Attorney Lawrence
Douglas, who had been expected
merely to press for an early trial
Of the former official.
Instead, State auditors were
sent before the grand jury and
the indictments resulted. The
bills char.e Ball failed to deliver
into the hands of the County
Clerk $515,959 in county funds;
that he misused $117,300 during
the last half of the fiscal year
1881, and that he misused and
|misappropriated $4,000 during
the fiscal year 1880.
The first indictment is in one
count, the second in eleven and
the third in four.
Outside Jury Asked
Douglas today will ask Judge
Walter T. Mccarthy to order a
Jury from another county to hear
the cases against the former
treasurer. The prosecutor con-
tends a fair and impartial trial
cannot be secured by the State
because of Balls wide acquaint-
ance in Arlington county.
Hearing on a motion for new
trial by William H. Duncan, for.
mer clerk of the court, recently
sentenced to three years for mis-
use Of highway funds, will be
held tomorrow. Trial of F. j.
Hallock, school board clerk, ac-
cuSed of forgery of warrants, will
be in December.

AUTOMOBILE TRADE
SEES NEW BUYING
Used Car Problem Showed
Into Background to Get
Purchasers Started.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
DETROIT, August 5.-New motor
cars for old seemingly is one Of the mer-
chandising slogans Of the automobile
industry at present.
In the drive to loosen the purse
strings of potential buyers the retail
division of the motor industry is en-
phasizing the fact that in most cases
the old car will furnish the down pay
ment on the new.
Apparently in the effort to break
down the buying resistance, the dis
tributing branch of the industry has put
the used car problem temporarily in the
background, although realizing it is an
ever present perplexity.
Sees New Buying Trend.
This attitude appears to be based on
the theory, rather generally agreed to
throughout the industry, that all that
is needed is to get things started" I"
Once started, executives of the retail
division say, a buying trend will expand
of its own influence.
Aside from the continued restriction
on buying that the industry's sales
genilIseS have fought for many months,
another problem they have to combat
is one of the manufacturers own crea-
ton 1t is to convince the potential
buyer that an automobile which to all
appearances has been made practically
perfect can be improved upon.
So far has mechanical quality in mo-
tor cars advanced that to convince the
motoring public that something really
different or something materially better
has been devised presents a difficulty
requiring considerable publicity and
other promotion effort.
The makers of motor cars. however.
do not introduce new models merely as
a matter of routine. Many millions OF
dollars are spent each year in the equip
ping of plants to manufacture new types

Posse and BIoodhounds
Search for Persons Who
Killed Wealthy RecIuse.

NATCHEz, Miss, August S (P).-
With an old Army coat for their only
clue, Adams County officers today were
attempting to track down the slayer
of Miss Jane Merrill, aged reclusc
whose bullet-riddled body was found
at daybreak today In a thicket about
200 yards from her ante-bellum plan
tation home south of here.
Finding of the body followed an all
night search by officers and blood
hounds called out after friend of the
wealthy woman found the furniture
in her home blodstained and tossed
about. The walls bore three bullet
holes. The body, when found had two
bullet holes in the neck and one in
the left side.
Miss Merrill, daughter of Ayres
Merrill. one time United States Am
bassador to Belgium, had very few
acquaintance during her later life and
ordered all comers away from her door,
Sheriff c. P Roberts of Adams Coun-
had been murdered by robbers or
mentally deranged person. A coroner's
Jury impaneled soon after the body was
found brought in verdict of death at
the hands of person or persons un-
known
Miss Merrill lived alone in her plan
tation home and dressed in the fem
mime raiment that was fashionable 40
years ago. Until recently she persistent
ly refused to purchase an automobile
preferring to cCme to town every week
in her horse-drawn buggy.
She apparently was murdered in the
dining room of her home and her body
carried or dragged to the thicket where
it was found. A trail of blood led from
the dining room over a balcony to
spot about 200 feet from the house,
where it stopped. At this point slip
per and a comb were found. The body
was found about $50 yards farther from
the house.
