Tuesday night, was impaired earl
Wednesday morning. Before Pete
could realize the significance Of tn,
news, he was en- route to Paris.
The assassination was one Of til,
bloodiest in history, although Kale
men intended to kill only Alexande.
He used a powerful automatic pisto
which fired 10 shots at one pressure
Of the trigger. When the burst dice
away Alexander and Barthou were
mortally wounded, policeman who
tried to save the king, and the assassin
himself were dead.
Had Bomb in Pocket
Kalemen had a bomb In his pocket.
He had no chance to use 1t.
Two men found near him were ar
rested -and reports were circulated
that five suspicious-appearing men
were seen armed, but police insisted
Kalemen apparently acted alone.
Surgeons disclosed that Barthou
died believing Alexander escaped in
jury.
Barthou's life might have been
saved, the surgeon said, had the
taxicab carrying him to the hospital
escaped a traffic jam. He bled to
death from severed artery.
The assassin tried to shoot himself
In the mouth. Saber slashes and bull
lets from police beat him to 1t.
All france mourns. The assassina-
ton hit French pride heavily.
Among Barthou's fondest dreams
was the one Of bringing Italy and
Yugoslavia closer together. It was in
preparation for such an attempt that
Alexander's visit here was arranged.
Anxious Of Consequences
The assassination Of Balkan ruler
20 years after the World War started
through similar event made the
French government frankly anxious
of the consequences.
It was believed that Kalemen was
not on list of suspects" submitted
by the Yugoslav government before
trip. In the first tense
when officials learned of the
there was fear the killer may
have been Italian or French.
They admitted any spark might !
turn the Italo-Yugoslav hostility in
to an explosion.
Queen Marie apparently escaped a |
similar fate only because the cond;- |
ton Of, her health forced her to travel
to France by train instead Of With
Alexander, who came by warship.
An eyewitness said "the procession

Wild panic. People dashed from the
official car or else hurled themselves |
upon it, seemingly gone mad.
i saw a colonel rain furious blows
with his saber upon man struggling
against the side Of the car. I saw
policemen rushing up with revolvers
and firing at the man who now fired
wildly into the surging crowd.

THE FEDERAL EMERGENCY RE-
LIEF ADMINISTRATION
Washington, D. c., Oct. 10.-When,
in the hard times of 1888, Uncle Sam
was asked by thp unemployed Amerl-
can: Brother, can you spare q
lime?" that grey-bearded gentleman
reached his hand into the pocket OF
his striped, boot strapped trousers
and pulled out one billion dollars!
1t was on May II, 1888, that con-
gress, apprised that 100000 Ameri-
cans were reduced to penury, created
the Federal Emergency Relief Ad-
ministration. Ten days later Harry
L. Hopkins took office as administra-
tor. head of the largest public relief
organization ever set up. The wave
Of unemployment had reached its
crest. 1t was estimated that more
than 10000 900 persons. normally self
supporting, were without remunera-
tive work.
States, municipalities, minor poll
tical subdivisions, as well as private
charity, had been bearing the burden
of support Of the destitute, and that
burden had become intolerable. Con-
gress recognized that the time had
come for the federal government to
function on behalf Of its temporarily
INDECENT citizens. Soon after the
Emergency Relief Act was passed,
President Roosevelt called q confer
ence of governors and relief officials
Of the states and announced that the
United States was prepared to assist
in the support Of the people. It was
emphasized that the entire burden
could not be borne.
From this conference sprang the
elaborate organization Of federal and
local relief agencies, working In CO.
operation to redeem the promise that
no American need starve. States and
local jurisdictions had been spending
millions on relief, but when the prom
ise Of federal aid was made they re-
doubled their efforts. Where neces-
sary special sessions of legislatures
were called. In many cases bond IS
sues were declared. New taxes were
imposed. So determined were the To-
cal divisions to do their part that the
average of 100000 month appro-
priated by the states in the spring Of
1888 by November had mounted to
an average Of $l7,000,000 month.
Gets Into Quick Action
When the FERA began function
ing, $500, 900 Of federal funds al
ready had been advanced to the states
and localities through Reconstruction
Finance corporation loans. Another
measure Of relief also had preceded
the operation Of the FERA. On
March 81, 1888, congress had author
lied formation Of the Civilian Conser-
vation Corps. It's work consisted Of
forest conservation by fighting fires,
pests, soil erosion, and floods. Food,
shelter, and clothing were furnished
and the men were given instruction
in forest lore. Camp life was semi
military and enrollments were for
varying periods. BY the summer Of

STATE TAG PLANT

New Industry Developing Fast;

During Past Year

North Dakota,s state tag plant ha.
developed into $25.ooo per year bust.
neess, with prospects of becoming q
greater industry as demands grow
from municipalities throughout the
state, Warden Dell Patterson, head Of
the penitentiary, said Wednesday.
Under direction Of George L. Baska
superintendent. Is prisoners in the
plant daily turn out hundreds of au-
tomobile license tags, road signs and
highway maintenance workers warm
ing tags.
The new 1895 license plate. on which
the inmate workmen are laboring now
will be Of royal blue, with raised,
stamped letters Of orange yellow
Approximately 100000 license plates
will be made by the plant this year.
Not quite a year old, the plant has
installed new equipment which will
enable 1t to turn out any type Of high
way marker, including so-called IL
Illuminated signs, Baska said Approx
1mately $4,000 road signs are expected
to be made during 1885 for the state
highway department, and for federal
highway marking.
One city has already ordered traffic
signs from the plant, opening up a
new source of revenue, Baska pointed
out.
A 40O-ton hydraulic press, capable
Of controlled pressure ranging from
the feather touch of one ounce to the
massive weight OF 400 tons has been
installed for manufacture of highway
marker signs.
:. Cost of manufacture will range
higher in 1885 than for 1894 tags,
Baska said. due to increased costs in
raw materials. Selling costs to the
state motor vehicle department this
year will be 9l2 cents per pair. as
compared with cents last year.
Baska claimed this to be the lowest
cost per plate Of any state In the
country.
To perfect economy, cardboard car
tons In which plates were shipped last
year are being reassembled and used
again this year. Approximately $3.50
in cost Is expected to be saved, Baska
said.

could raise food and barter surpluses
for other wares A dentist coulc
trade exodonty for husbandry. The
FERA advanced funds to buy tools,
simple farming implements, fuel for
motor trucks. and the like, to aid
these self-helpers.
Probably the most intimate degree
Of cooperation was effected through,
the Federal Surplus Relief Corpora
ton (FSRC). Inasmuch as 1t was
practicable to accord much subsist-
ence relief In kind rather than in
cash, this corporation was created to
handle the negotiations, many Of
which were strictly commercial in
character. Relief Administrator Hop
kins was named president; Henry A.
Wallace, secretary of agriculture, vice
president: and Harold L. Ickes, Secre-
tary Of the interior and public works
administrator, treasurer. This cor
poration did business like some NAM
moth corporation engaged in private
business.
The FERA was in need Of farm pro-
ducts to feed those on relief rolls. So,
through this corporation, purchases
were made, the very first one consist
ing of the gigantic transfer of 100,-
100000 pounds Of salt pork from the
AAA, the FERA paying the cost of
processing. In these various trans
actions bids were rendered and con-
tracts entered into. One huge con-
tract called for $4,000 hogs q day for
Is market days; another for 22oQ
head Of cattle day for 20 days. One
deal resulted in the purchase of 100,-
300 head Of sheep from the ranges Of
the Navajo Indians in Arizona and
New Mexico. The lamb chop from
Arizona was carried by Uncle Sam to |
the New York east side tenement !

THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER TO- 1894

1884 q total Of $4,000 had passe.
through the camps at . cost Of $4l6,'
100000. The constant roll was helt
above $4,000 and the number o.
camps steadily increased.
It was apparent that this early es.
say in relief required tremendoul
augmentation and that more than one
remedy would have to be applied tt
the economic ills. The FERA sci
about immediate relief Of the des.
titute and starving and also the or.
ganization. in cooperation with other
federal agencies, Of programs looking
toward employment upon projects not
instantly necessary but of use and
requiring the services OF workers.
The FERA began operations In
May, 1933 The early average pay
ments per family were low. For the
whole country they averaged $l5.5s
per month. There was steady in
crease through summer and autumn
until, by the time cold weather had
set In, the average had been lifted to
1892. There were differences as
between states and regions, local re-
lief administrators tempering pay
ments to desperate needs on the one
hand and available funds on the 9TH
er. City families in general received
more because SO many more things
had to be purchased with cash. In
May, 1893, the average relief pay
ment In cities was $21.lo q month
and In November, $23.27, while out
side principal cities payments had
averaged $11.64 In May and $14.12 in
November. This did not mean that
urban dwellers were better cared for.
City house rents, city food prices,
and many other city items were high
er, while not = few rural families on
relief were able to find free house
rent and to obtain some food from
the fields, gardens, and orchards. The
times were hard for all; hardships
were to be shared.
In spite Of these tremendous finai-
cial outpourings in direct relief, re-
lief rolls increased through the early
autumn, so In November the Civil
Works Administration (CWA) was
endowed by the Public Works
Administration with $400, ,000, 900. Be-
tween November 16 and December /,
100000 individuals
were transferred from the direct re-
lief rolls to CWA rolls. BY the mid
die Of January, 1894, more than T.
100000 had CWA jobs and Uncle
Sans weekly payroll, on this account
alone, had mounted to $62 900 900, or
at the rate Of nearly three and one
quarter billions year.
Self-Help Communities Spring Up
AS the spring Of 1894 advanced, 1t
was determined to alter the organiza-
tion and the CWA was brought. to an
end. But In its place was created
the Emergency Works Administrative
(EWA). The two systems are not
greatly different, the chief difference
being the EVA projects are admins
tered under the direction Of state
relief administrations
with, however, q steady stream Of con-
tributions Of Federal funds.
One of the most interesting chap
ters had to do with the aid Of SELF

pressed period, q number Of such

TROY APPROVES
 C|TY'S REQUEST
 FOR PWA GRANT
Signs Formal Approval for $I03, ,000 for Local
 Improvements

The application of the City of Juneau for combined loan and grant of $103,000 from the Public Works Administration has been formally approved by Gov John w. Troy. Deputy PWA Adminis- trator for Alaska, it was announc- ed today. The application has been forwarded to Secretary Ickes, Public Works Administrator for final approval.
 The taxpayers of the commun- ity will vote August 28 on a bond issue which will be used as secur- ity for the loan which amounts to $80,000.
 The projects listed in the appli- cation are; regrading and paving streets and sidewalks, $5l 400; gar- bage incinerator, $25,00O; bulk heads on Gastineau Avenue and Calhoun Avenue, s12,85O; bridge over Gold Creek, to replace the present structure, which is regard ed as unsafe for heavy loads, $5,000: sewer and waterpipe in- stallation $2,750; engineering and administrative overhead $6,00O.
 While the maximum of the grant and loan has been applied for, City authorities said it was not expected the entire sum would be required for the work, some of which has been done already, and that it was possible that not more than $70,000 would be needed. In that case both the loan and grant would be reduced proportionately.
