1 FLEXIBLE TARIFF
QUARREL IN SENATE
Democrats and Independent Re-
publicans Preparing to
Battle Stalwarts
SIMMONS HAS CONFIDENCE
Smoot Boliovet Six Domocr&ts
Will Voto With Adminis
tration Forces
Washington, Sept 2*.— <4”) A
vote by 4 p. m. Tnesday on reten
tion of the flexible principle In
the pending tariff bill will be
sought by senate Republican
leaden.
Chairman Smoot of the finance
committee said It was the pres
ent intention to carry out this
plan if all absentees could be
rounded up by that time.
Washington, Sept. 28.—The pros
pect of a vote Monday on the flexible
tariff issue in the senate made to
day’s recess merely an opportunity for
leaders of the contending sides to
work harder than ever to line up
their forces.
After four days of debate, enlivened
with vigorous attacks by Democrats
and Republican Independents upon
the administration's proposal to con
tinue the flexible principle in effect
with little change, the issue appeared
so closely drawn that leaders of each
group, while claiming a majority, pre
dicted a very close vote.
Senator Simmons of North Caro
lina. ranking Democrat on the fi
nance committee and leader of his
party's attack on the Republican pro
posal. expressed a willingness to have
the roll called before the week-end
recess was taken, but Chairman
Smoot, leading the administration
forces, preferred to have it go over,
saying he hoped a vote could be
taken Monday.
Countering Simmons’ display of
confidence in the result, Smoot said
he believed at least six Democrats
would vote with the Republican reg
ulars for the amendment he sponsors,
under which the president would con
tinue. as he desires, to hold author
ity to raise or lower tariff rates as
much as SO per cent upon recom
mendation of the tariff commission.
Whether the Smoot proposal will
be given priority in the voting was
not clear today. Simmons, who had
an amendment looking to repeal of
the flexible* provision of the existing
law pending, has introduced a sub
stitute with a view to having it
brought to a vote first.
His substitute amendment would
take away the president’s power to
change rates and authorize him
merely to transmit recommendations
of the tariff commission to congress.

WET INSURANCE
POUCY TO PROTECT
FARM STORAGE LOAN
North Dakota Bankart' Bond on
All Crain on Which Loans
Ara Mads in Stata
Final steps in the banking program
of assisting North Dakota farmers to
store grain on their farms by loaning
money on their state storage certifi
cates have been taken by a commit
tee of the North Dakota Bankers as
sociation, which completed arrange
ments for a blanket insurance policy
and bond on all grain on which loans
are made by association members. The
policy becomes effective at once, fur
nishing protection on all loans made
on farm storage certificates on and
after today.
The contract for the blanket policy
was executed in Minneapolis late Fri
day by two officials of the North Da
kota Bankers association, R. E. Bar
ron of Minot, president, and W. C.
McFadden of Fargo, secretary, both of
whom arc members of the special
committee formed to arrange the
bond. The policy provides protection
against loss of stored grain, through
fire, tornado, theft or sale in viola
tion of the storage contract. It was
issued by the Hartford Accident and
Indemnity company through Wirt
Wilson and Company, its Minneapo
lis agents.
The movement among North Dako
ta bankers to help farmers withhold
grain from the market, by discount
ing the state farm storage certifi
cates. got into full swing Thursday at
a meeting of 50 officers and leading
members of the Banker’s association,
held in Fargo. At this session, Gov
ernor George F. Shafer urged that
bankers arrange to advance money to
farmers on the farm storage certi
ficates issued by the new state grain
storage department, created by the
1929 legislature.

One of the World's Most Amaz
ing and Most Confirmed
Criminals Is Jailed
HAS HAD 50-YEAR CAREER
Killed Diamond King and Won
Acquittal; Duped Many
'Wivot' in His Life
London, Sept. 28.—(NEA) —One
of the world’s most amazing and
most confirmed criminals has just
been arrested in South Africa. He
is Carl Ludwig von Veltheim, or,
perhaps, just plain Car! Kurtz. His
offense and sentence this time were
comparatively mild—a month's im
prisonment for entering the country
as a prohibited immigrant—but
many a more serious misdeed attrib
uted to him has resulted in no pun
ishment at all.
In his time, Veltheim has duped
and married many women, robbed
them of their money, sought to
blackmail millionaires, killed a dia
mond king and won acquittal, and
coolly confessed to a plot to kidnap
a president.
He {irst came into world-wide at
tention back in 1898, when the Boer
republic of the Transvaal was still
in existence and the grim Dutch
man, Kruger, was boss and presi
dent. Von Veltheim had gone into
the office of Woolf Joel, nephew of
the famous diamond king, Barney
Barnato.
Acquitted in Killing
Shots were heard and von Velt
heim stated he had killed Joel. The
trial caused great excitement. He
claimed he killed in self-defense.
Barney Barnato was bitterly hostile
to the Kruger regime, he said, be
cause it interfere! with his plans
foi gold and diamond mining. Von
Veltheim said he got in touch with
Barnato and outlined a scheme
whereby he would kidnap Kruger
and bring about the election of a
new president. The plot would cost
about $5,000,000 and, if successful,
von Veltheim was to get a quarter
of a million dollars. It was never
carried out, but he claimed money
was due him for work already done.
Barnato was dead, hut von Velt
heim wrote a series of seven let
ters signed “Kismit” in which he
demanded $60,000 from Woolf Joel.

story that he shot in self defense

RAMSAY MACDONALD
SAILS ON MISSION OF
PEACE TO AMERICA
To Achieve Unity Between Two
Great English-Speaking
Peeples
HOPE TO NARROW ATLANTIC
Ambassador Dawes Speeds the
Premier on Disarmament
Quest in Washington
S. S. Bercngaria, Bept. 28. (/Tj
Ramsay MacDonald, prime minister
of Oreat Britain, sailed into the west
from Southampton this morning on a
mission of peace and good-will. His
physical destination is Washington.
His spiritual goal Is the achievement
of a unity between the two great Eng
lish speaking peoples which might
lay the foundation for a really uni
versal era of ’peace and good-will
among all the nations of the earth.
MacDonald's barque la the palatial
Berengarta. The prime minister, his
daughter and his official party spent
restful hours aboard the liner after
being the center of farewell demon
strations in London and again in
Southampton.
“I am off in the hope of being able
to do somethin; to narrow the Atlan
tic,’’ Mr. MacDonald said.
It was a great day in London.
Londoner* Cheer Mae
When they arrived at Waterloo
station to board the train a huge
workaday crowd of Londoners was on
hand to cheer “Good Old Mac: Good
Old Ramsay.” The Inevitable “Red
Flag” was sung by workmen perched
on tops of taxicabs but as the mo
ment of departure neared everybody
joined in the tribute “For He’s a Jolly
Good Fellow” and In “Auld Lang
Syne.”
Ambassador Dawes, spick and span
in evening dress and shiny silk hat
elbowed his way through the crowd
to give MacDonald a parting hand
clasp and speed him on his way to
ward another phase of the armament
negotiations which the ambassador
initiated here under instructions from
President Hoover. MacDonald in or
dinary business suit and soft hat
talked seriously with friends Just be
fore leaving. As the train guards
urged ordinary passengers to take
their seats in the carriages Ishbel
bade her two sisters goodbye and
tugged at her father's coat sleeve
urging him to step aboard.
A similar demonstration awaited
them at Southampton, where they
were greeted by crowds at the water
side terminal, the mayor and mayor
ess of Southampton welcoming them
to the city and escorting them aboard
the liner.
King’s Hopes High
From King George down to the
girls who sell tea on the platforms at
Waterloo station. Premier MacDonald
seemed to be carrying away the con
fidence and best wishes of the Brit
ish people. The monarch expressed
himself in formal and official man
ner in this message to his chief min
ister delivered to 10 Downing street
Just before Mr. MacDonald left for
the train:
“On the eve of your journey, I wish
you Godspeed. It is a departure that
will be surrounded with good wishes
for it is a contribution to those happy
relations between two great peoples
which must be an article of faith
among all men of good-will.
“George R. I.”
To journalists the Prime Minister
said: *
“I have always felt that personal
contact between those actually re
sponsible for government in Wash
ington and London is essential if that
understanding is to be developed as
fully and as well as we all with it
to be. Both nations have a great
role to play in advancement, not only
of disarmament but of many demo
cratic and moral issues with which
their history is associated. I am off
In the hope of being able to do some
thing to narrow the Atlantic.”
The Berengarla is due in New York
next Friday.

FREIGHT RATES WILL
INCREASE OCTOBER I
IN SPITE OF PROTEST
Fargo, Grand Forks, State Mill
Sought to Stop Applica
tion of Tariffs
SAY SWITCH CHARGES HIGH
Board's Refusal to Suspend
Rates Will Not Work Hard
ship on Consumer
Increased freight rates on intra
state shipments of lignite coal will
go into effect October 1 despite a
request by representatives of Fargo
and Grand Forks and of the State
Mill and Elevator association that the
effective dates of the new rates be
postponed and an additional hearing
held.
In their request for a rehearing the
petitions said they had been unable
to give earlier attention to the lignite
case because they were busy with
other freight rate cases before the
interstate commerce commission.
They ask opportunity to present ad
ditional testimony.
The petition challenges the “steps"
or distances covered by rates as out
of line with fixed previous cases on
other commodities. The alleged “high
basis” for joint line movement al6o
is attacked, contending that the
switching charges permitted are un
reasonably high.
Can't Change New
In a statement issued at the rail
road board offices this afternoon it
was said that absence of Commis
sioner Ben Larkin and the shortness
of time until the new rates will be
come effective, make it “Impossible
for the North Dakota commission to
take action prior to the effective date
of the new rates, October 1. as parties
so desiring are entitled to 10 days
time in which to make answer to the
petition."
The statement pointed out that the
order prescribing the new rates was
dated August 27 and that anyone
“dealring further consideration had
ample time In which to state their
views”
The statement said that "after an
opportunity has been afforded those
who wish to make answer to the pe
tition, the commission will give the
matter careful consideration, but the
new rates will become effective Oc
tober 1 as originally prescribed.”
Sees No Hardship
Pay Harding, a member of the
board, said he felt that the board's
refusal to suspend the rates will not
work a hardship on any consumer.
Information has been received by the
state railroad board, he said, that re
tail coal dealers already have in
creased prices to meet the anticipated
boost in freight rates and this in
crease in retail coal prices followed a
similar increase made last year by
some coal dealers. It is improbable,
he said, that any reduction in retail
prices would follow suspension of the
freight rate.
Although no formal petition has
been filed, it is probable that lignite
producers also will be represented if
the case is reopened. Representatives
of several mines have contended that
the board should have ordered a
special low rate for fine coal. Several
have made verbal protests to the
board members since the new rates
were fixed.
The board previously had refused
to grant a lower rate for fine coal
on the ground that many mines had
Installed machinery to crush coal for
uae by commercial consumers and on
this basis it could not be considered
as an inferior product.

Into Guard Fence
Max. N. D., Sept. 28.— 1 4*1—Allan
McCord. Minneapolis Drug company
representative, died here last nigh’
at 9:30 o'clock from injuries received
in an automobile accident about two
miles south of town.* McCord, who
was driving alone, was on his way
to Minot when his car crashed
against the end of a guard fence
along the highway and rolled over a
steep embankment.
Suffering severe cuts about the
head, McCord extricated himself from
the wreckage and walked to a nearby
farm house. Occupants of the farm
home took him to Max where he died
two hours later from loss of blood,
according to the attending physician.
One person witnessed the tragedy.
Margaret Boe, daughter of the farmer
living nearby, saw the machine skid
and strike the guard post and roll off
the grade. It is believed a tire blew
out and caused the machine to skid.
McCord, who had driven from Far
go, was hurrying to Minot to spend
the night at the home of Judge Wil
liam Murray. McCord was a brother
in-law of W. J. Norbcck of Min

‘Flat Broke,’ Raises Bundle of

BORROWS GAS OF CREDITOR
Bowman Farmers Come toC sh
Rescue of Son of Famous
St. Cloud Promoter
Bowman. N. D., Sept. 28.—(APt—Eg
bert Pandolfo has acquired a reputa
tion in these parts as an entrepreneur
extraordinary.
Arrested in Towner county on a
charge of giving a bad check to R. A.
Herzig, local hotelman. Pandolfo was
"flat broke” when he arrived here to
face the charge. He had lived here
last spring while he was running up
the board bill in payment of which
he had given Herzig a check for $312
last April.
Obtaining permission to take a
deputy sheriff with him and visit
some farmer friends in the country in
an effort to obtain bond. Pandolfo
borrowed four gallons of gasoline
from a man to whom he had owed a
bill since last spring.
Returning from his trip he had a
large bundle of money. State's At
torney Mark Amundson said this
morning, and agreed to pay the
amount of the check if Herzig would
release him from the charge.
Under North Dakota law’. Amund
son said, the issuance of a check with
out sufficient funds to meet it is a
misdemeanor and if the prosecuting
witness fails to press the charge the
defendant is released. Herzig has in
dicated. Amundson said, that he will
not prosecute Pandolfo if the latter
pays the check.
Amundson said Pandolfo raised the
money among his “farmer friends” by
selling his notes and making them
partners in his “Squeeks n' rattles”
business. This is a scheme w’hich
Pandolfo has been promoting to or
ganize greasing stations for automo
biles.
Pandolfo is a son of S. C. Pandolfo,
St. Cloud. Minn.
"That fellow is the slickest bird
who ever hit these parts,” Amundson
said in relating Pandolfo’s method of
freeing himself from his local diffi
culties.
