PAID FOR
PRISON PARDON, NYE
CHARGES IN SPEECH
Senator Tells Strasburg Au-
dience Eight Cases Back
Allegations

Direct charges that prisoners at the
state penitentiary had been made to
pay money for their release under the
LANCER administration were made by
Senator Gerald p. Nye in political
address Thursday afternoon at Stras-
burg in Emmons county.
Approximately 200 persons, mostly
men. attended the meeting.
Discussing what he asserted to be
the pardon racket" operated under
LANCER. Nye said eight different men
had told pitiful stories Of what they
had to do to win their release. Of how
their fathers, mothers and other rela-
tiyes had to struggle to raise money,
demanded not by state officials but
by others for advocacy Of their cases.
Sone Of the men, he said, prob
ably could have won their freedom
on the merits of their case without
payment Of dollar.
Seven Afraid to Swear
Seven of the men who had told him
these stories, Nye said, refused to make
affidavits, one Of them pleading with
tears in his eyes that he dared not do
so because, in the event the LANCER
ties win the election they would have
him back in the penitentiary quick
as wink"
One, however, did make an affidav-
it, Nye said. He offered to show it to
any priest or minister the audience
might designate so that such a trust
worthy person might be able to affirm
there was such an affidavit.
Attacking the LANCER regime all
down the line, Nye exposed the man
ner in which slot machines were
handled by the regulatory department
under Stephen Ter Horst. Explaining
that it is against the law to operate
slot machines In this state or to sell
them for use in the state, Nye said
Ter Horst's department sold 28 mach
ines for $50 to man who signed his
name as Fred Cant.
The man made affidavit that he
was purchasing the machines for use
outside the state, and that he lived in
Minneapolis. A few days later, he
said, another man purchased five adj
ditional machines, giving his name as
]. Fredgant and his address as st.
Paul.
Comparison Of the signatures, he
said, shows that they were written by
the same man. The affidavitS were
witnessed by the same notary public.
Later, in raids in towns between
Dickinson and Bismarck, Nye said,

FAMOUS ACTOR MAKES HIT AS
 RAILROAD MAN
Chic Sale Takes Character istic Role in Dangerous
 Crossroads" Coliseum

A rip-snorting railroad romance with more than it's share of thun- dering thrills, wild rides on run away trains plus a delightful TO- nance is Dangerous Crossroads" :" the Columbia melodrama which opened at the Coliseum Theatre last night. Chic Sale, Jackie Searle and Diane Sinclair appear in the principal roles of the production, directed by Lambert Hillyer. It is full of action, and from beginning to end contains laugh after laugh, largely because of the homely and likeable characterization of an old engineer, presented by the ever popular Chic Sale
 Chic has been retired from ac- tive service because of age. So, too, has his be loved old locomotive Minnie" He is now just a watch man; she just switching engine. He wishes he might have one more wild and exciting journey at her throttle.
 Thieves have been footing box cars. Frank Albertson, young rail- road detective in love with Chic's daughter, Diane Sinclair. discovers who they are. They discover his identity at the same time They try to kill him by dropping tons of metal from a magnst-crane up on his head But he escapes death just as they make off with a vast amount of loot.
 Old Chic races to the throttle of old Minnie" With Frank as fire man they thunder across country over abandoned and shaky tracks. They head off the thieves, have a gunfight, capture them and return in triumph-Frank of course, the waiting arms of the lovely Diane. . Little Jackie Searle, who played in "Skippy," ''Sooky,' From Saw yer" and other kid pictures, is a delight in this one, Others who help out in the fun and excitement are Preston Foster and Niles Welch. It is show that can be highly recommended for the whole family to see.

GEORGE ARLISS
 OPENS TONIGHT
 IN LATEST FILM
Noted Actor Is Supported by Fine Cast in Working Man at Capitol Theatre

George Arliss, probably the great est of stage and screen lun1inaries of the present day, comes to the Capitol Theatre tonight in his latest Warner Bros. picture, The Working Man
 The picture is delightfully."- en- tertaining comedy drama which presents MT. Arliss in the type of picture with which he has had his greatest success on the screen. "The Working Man" is of similar pattern to The Millionaire" his most popular hit, although it is entirely different in plot.
 As the head of a large business, he masqusrades as lowly fisher man in order to save the children of his one-time most formidable business rival from moral and fi- nancial ruin Arliss is said to reach the highlight of his brilliant career in ''The Working Man. as the most human character he has yet portrayed. It is picture with uni versal appeal.
 Strong Cast
 As usual in an Arliss picture there is an unusually strong cast of stage and screen celebrities; hand picked by MT. Arliss him. self. Bette Davis. who played the ingenue role with MT. Arliss in "The Man Who Played God" has the leading feminine role in this picture Hardie Albright, who has the juvenile lead, is also an Arliss protsge and played with him in "A Successful Calamity"
 Theodore Newton was brought direct from the stage for his first picture role with MT. Arliss. Cor don Westcott is also a recent ac- quisition from legitimate drama, although he has played in several important pictures.
 Spectacular Sh0rt In addition to the Arliss picture
 
 this exceptional program includes one of the greatest and most spec tacular special features, ever caught by the camera in ''Krakatoa,' an Educational Picture special in three reels.
 Krakatoa, it might be explained is the name of one of the worlds most unusual and active submar- inc volcanoes, located in the In dian Ocean between Sumatra and Java. Being inaccessible except by Dutch Government steamers it is not as well known as Vesuvius Mont Pelee or other volcanoes, but Krakatoa IS said to be more dead ly and spectacular than any known volcano on the surface of the earth
 This presentation marks the first time that an eruption has been recorded by both sight and sound during it's greatest height and shows huge volumes of lava steam, molten glass and smoke belched forth from the craters.

Visual Signal Apparatus
to Show Radio Beacona

Washington.-A device for usually
interpreting signals of aeronautical ra-
do range beacons has been developed
by W. f. Jackson and L. NJ. Harding,
radio engineers of the Commerce de-
partment's aeronautics branch, accord
ing to Rex Martin, assistant director
of aeronautics.
Signals, Martin explained, are 20
celved through headphones by alrmen
who rely upon them for guidance dur
ing periods of poor visibility.
The device features an indicator
which, fitted in the instrument panel,
is similar to the contrivance used for
blind landings. II is open-faced and
has two needles-one vertical and one
horizontal. The vertical needle, Mar
tin explained, is chief indicator, and
when a plane leaves the course defined
by a radio beacon. this needle will
move accordingly. However, he add
ed, If the plane is exactly on course,
the vertical pointer will remain in CEN
ter Of the dial.
The horizontal indicator, the official
revealed. shows the volume of received
signals. which the pilot may adjust
as he sees fit.
