side to pick up any programs which
might be broadcast there.
There are no elevators on the
legislative side Of the building. Legis-
lators entering there can check their
coats and hats in a semi circular
large room under the senate cham
Der, then walk to the lounges or the
chambers upstairs.
Wires have been installed in both
houses for automatic voting mach
ines, but such equipment has not
been purchased on the ground that
it is too expensive. # it were in
place all legislator would need do
to vote would be to push a button on
his desk, showing whether he wish
ed to be recorded as voting yes or
no.
At the same time the governor,
sitting In his private office, would
be able to look at an illuminated
panel and tell how each member
was voting. It may be many years
before this equipment is put in place.
Probably the busiest place in the
building is the ground floor corri-
dor and, curiously enough, the single
back door is used much more than
the ornamental triple front doors.
The latter lead into the building
from the driveway which passes un-
der the central plaza and about the
only ones who enter here are those
who come to the building by taxi,
those who have someone drive them,
and those who walk.
Have Big Parking Space
Extensive parking space is provid-
ed in the level plot back of the
building and most employees park
their machines there and come
through the back door near the
elevators. Others, parking their
cars on the west side, enter through
the west door. Fewer persons enter
the building through the south doors
at the ground level, or through the
great plaza above, than through
either Of the other doors alone. This
is because practically all Of the busi-
ness IS transacted in the tower Sec
ton and workers seek easiest ac-
cess to the elevators.
Although designed for utility
rather than as a showplace, the
ground floor lobby has some inter-
eSting features. It's walls are OF
polished travertine which reflect the
wall and panel lights. The western
end IS two steps lower than the
eastern, this being necessary to al
low for the downward slope Of the
house and senate chambers above it.
Right now it is largely occupied by
offices Of the federal emergency re-
lief administration, which also has
some offices on the main floor and
which has several hundred workers
on the 10th and 18th floors.
At the eastern end of the ground
floor lobby is the capitol restaurant

modern kitchen to the throng oi

workers, many of whom remain in
the building for lunch A small
private dining room adjoins the main
dining room where there are tables
and large lunch counter
Near the entrances to the ground
floor lobby are located the informa-
ton desk and telegraph office, and
the desk where the guides are
stationed Visitors desiring guid-
ance through the building are asked
to register and between 100 and $50
names are added to the book each
day. Most of them are those Of
North Dakotans but every state in
the union and some foreign coun-
tries already are represented in the
list.
Some idea Of the business trans
acted in the building is indicated by
the number of telegraph messages,
sent and received daily. The at
tendant estimates that the volume,
OF business is equal to that done bv
offices in the average city of 5000
persons.
Curiously enough, although the
building was designed to meet the
states needs for office space for
many years and all Of the details are
not yet finished. complaints of over
icroWding already are heard. The
answer is the tremendous influx Of
workers into the government relief
offices.
The building was designed to house
between 500 and $50 workers but 4
recent checkup showed 1926 state en-
ployes and 324 relief employees, Since
then the number of relief workers
has increased so that they now ara

only two floors in the tower section
are unused and these may be pressed

March to Government
House Halted By Police
POPULACE IN A PANIC
Screaming Women and Outrageous Men
Protest, While other Citizen Rushed Fer
Safety

Thousands of people were in the Pub
lie Market last night where hot speech
es were made against Governor Pearson
and his administration by Hon. Anselmo
Fabio and Morris E. DAVIS. The crowd
was made up of those who have enlisted
in the campaign to torment and eventu-
ally get rid of the Governor; those who
are friendly to the Governor; those who
have taken no definite stand and those
who are Indifferent.
The people were informed that mes
sage would be delivered at the Govern
ment House by delegation. To do this
most effectively the crowd would parade
from the Market through King Street,
and stop at the Government Building
where the impressive ceremony of de-
livering an ultimatum. requesting the
Governors resignation would be carried
out.
Alexander Johns orchestra was en-
gagged to lead the parade. These boys
would as readily accept engagement to
head parade of Pearsonites, so no one
should blame Alphonso Mills. one of the
Tribune's compositors, for speeding
away with guitar in hand when clubs
were fIourished and guns were near to
policemen's hands. Mills said he might
3. have stayed at his post if the band were
in the rear.
During the meeting few policemen
were in the Market, but when it was
learned that the ultimatum would be de-
livered to Lieutenant Governor the
police guar d was rec f o d.
The Director Of Police was
transformed into field marshal, lnspec

issuing orders in trumpet-like fashion.

TAP TILL LAND in
ELKTON JAIL

Don Redmond, of Decatur, ILL.,,
and Harold Johnson, of Evanston,
ILL.,, are in Elkton Jail, where they
are being held for appearance at
Court.
About five o'clock Tuesday after
noon Redmond drove up to the
garage of the H. M. Duyckinck Co.,
in this town, and had five gallons of
gasoline put in the tank Of his La
Sale coupe, for which he paid, then
asked if a mechanic would look at
his car, which was taken to the rear
Of the garage.
While Lewis Garvin, clerk in the
Office, was in the shop, some distance
in the rear of the Office, Johnson
slipped into the office, opened the
cash register and therefrom took the
bills and a check. Redmond raced
the engine of his car all the time the
mechanic was looking at it, in order
to drown any noise made by his con-
federate while he was tapping the
TILL Redmond finally decided to
have the alleged trouble to the en-
CINE fixed elsewhere and left.
When Lewis Garvin went to the
cash register to deposit the money
for the gasoline sold, he missed the
bills and telephoned the police at
picious and telephoned the police at
Oxford, Avondale, Newark, Elkton
and Conowingo. Within half an
hour word was received from New
ark, Del, that the two men had been
arrested by Officer Hill, in that town.
They were later taken to Elkton Jail,
after confessing to the robbery.
The $4,000 stolen from the cash
register was recovered, but $500
check had been thrown away, and
was not found.
Johnson claims he was not travel
ing with Redmond, but had entered
the Office and seeing no one about,
took the cash, being picked up few
minutes later as Redmond overlook
him along the road.
