Storm Gave Clue to
HideOut of Bandits

Fort Worth, Tex, Aug. 15.-P)
A storm, sufficient in intensity
to force an American Anyways pilot
from his course, brought about the
capture of Harvey Bailey and the
discovery of the prison" where
Charles F. Urschel, oil millionaire,
was held while his abductors
negotiated for ransom.
Urschel reported to department
of justice agents that an airplane
regularly passed over the house at
9:15 a. m. and 5:45 p. m. daily, ex-
cept one Sunday morning. He
noted the date he failed to hear
the plane.
Agents checked all airli n S
whose pilots flew regularly
through the southwest. The check
narrowed to the American Air
ways. Pilots logs and weather
charts during the period of Ur-
schel's nine-day captivity-July %
to July 31-were closely scanned.
They discovered that one pilot, on
a Sunday morning, had swerved
his course to miss storm.
The pilot was asked to plot the
course he took away from his
usual route. The agents took the
arc he made and completed cir
Gle, then took to the air to search
that area. They spotted the hide
out, aided by descriptions of the
place as given by the oil opera
tor. The capture followed.

Majority

The movement for ratification OF

by A. G. Sundfor, Fargo, president OF

Sale of Beer, as an effort to defeat

c. p. Stone of Fargo is the leader
in the campaign for ratification OF

repeal movement was started by
"some of the men who took part in
the Bismarck convention last April,
at which it was decided the conven-
ton would concentrate it's efforts on
legalizing the sale of beer.
while I always have been willing
to work for the repeal of the 18th
amendment by passing the 21st
amendment" Sundfor said, II am not
willing to have every liquor law
wiped off the statutes OF North Da-
kota."
He expressed confidence that when
hard liquor is legalized in North Da-

willing to allow the traffic without
proper safeguards"

His statement follows:
when the convention was held In
Bismarck on April "a, 1888, to legal
ize the sale Of beer, I accepted the
craftsmanship of the committee with
the distinct understanding that our
activities were to be confined to put
ting up the question Of legalizing the
sale Of beer and nothing else. The
convention voted, at the time, I'M
animously to sustain this position.
"A few days ago I was surprised
to see the announcement in the press
that petitioners were out requesting
people to sign new petition to initi-
ate another law to set up CONSTITUTE
ional convention to adopt the 21st
amendment to the federal constitu-
ton, and to repeal all liquor laws
upon the statutes of this state, and
that all beer and allied measures were
to be submitted in an election to be
called sometime in November. I was
more surprised, still, to find that
