Stop Manufacture of Dis. tilled Liquors +. Washington, June 30—Organized prohibition forces conferred with the “dry” senators and representatives today in an effort to determine their attitude on bone dry legislation, modi- fication of which is asked by Presi- dent Wilson to facilitate the passage of the food control bill by the Sea- ate. After these conferences, the execu- tive committee of the ~anti-Saloon league is expected to draft a letter to the President announcing its deci- sion. Regardless, however of any action the League may take, it was gener- ally agreed that the President's in- tervention: has had: the effect of: pre- venting any interference. with the , Manufacture of beer. and light wines, and that the. most. the prohibitionirts ean) hope. for at this session is legis- lation dealing only with distilled bev- erages. Wilson’s Attitude The President's attitude on the sub- ject was made in a communication o. the Rev. Dr. James Cannon, chair- man of the anti-Saloon legislation committee, after conferences with con- gressional leaders. “It has become evident,” the Presi- dent. wrote, “that heated and protract- ‘ed debate will delay passage of the bill if the proyisions affecting the ~‘Mianufacture ofsbeer and wine are re- tained and insisted upon.

SENTENCED FOR CRIME St. Paul, Minn., June 30.—Frank J. Dunn, convicted of. hiring gunmen to kill his wife, Alice McQuillen. Dunn, was sentenced to life imprisonment in the state penitentiary at hard labor late yesterday by Judge Hugo Hanft in the district court. The jury which found Dunn guilty announced its ver- dict after deliberating less than two hours. Dunn betrayed no emotion when the verdict was announced. He walked firmly to the railing to be sentenced, and replied clearly and loudly to the questions put to him by the court. Reiterates Innocence. ~ “I am not guilty,” he said. I do not know anything about Moore or Redenbaugh, or any of those fellows. I didn’t even read about them in the papers.” Dunn's two brothers and a brother- in-law. were in court when the ver- dict was read. None of the McQuillan family was present. ‘When Dunn is taken to Stillwater, probably tomorrow, the doors of the prison will have closed behind four of the five men charged by the state with plotting the murder of Alice M. Dunn, who was slain on the morning of April 26, as she lay sleeping beside her younger sister at the home of her father in St. Paul. ; Slayer Serving Sentence. | Joseph Redenbaugh, confessed slay- er of the woman, is serving a life sen- tence for the murder of Patrolman George Connery in Minneapolis two days after the Dunn killing. Frank McCool, who has confessed that he was at the McQuillan home with Red- enbaugh and received a share of the “blood money,” paid by Dunn, also is serving a sentence for the murder of the Minneapolis patrolman. Johnny Doyle, said to have been the third man in the party at the McQuillan home, has not. yet been apprehended by the police. “Mike Moore, convicted as the go-between in the Dunn plot, is serv- ing a iife’sentence in Stillwater. The indictment against Dunn charged him with hiring the Reden- baught gang’ through’’Moore to slay. Mrs. Dunn. The ‘three men—Reden- ‘baugh, McCool and Doyle—received $4,000 for the crime, according to the state's charge. plat 4 2 "ol i Canadians Capture Stretch of Territory Greater Than Any Since Vimy Ridge HAND TO HAND CONTEST FEATURES OFFENSIVE Canadian Headquarters in France, ‘June '30—Success, unexpectedly great ‘and complete at a cost'in casualtites far less than in some recent unimport- ant engagements, has attended the drive of the Canadains along the val- ley of the Soucheaz towards, Lens, dur- ing the last week. The gain of ground is greater than in any action since the capture of Vimy ridge, and the land restored to France includes some of her most productive coal mines. Lying out on the. water soaked ground, and along the Souchez river, this afternoon, still under fire, are the troops who attacked the enemy at 2:30 o’clock Thursday morning, in the outskirts of Alion. The Germans put up a resistance so strong that some of the advance parties retired. Elements Unfavorable At 7 o’clock a. m., ‘they® attacked again and after hard hand to hand fighting, the result of which was seen in the number of German dead on the field, they pushed forward to the western part of the village. The same men took part in a third attack with- in twenty-four hours. This was launched at seven o’clock last night and after they once again reached the goal set for them, they surrend- ered to sleep, the sleep of utter ex- haustion in a downpour of torrential rain. The situation on Friday afternoon is regarded as most satisfactory. The enemy by damning the Souchez river, by blowing up bridges crossing the canal, and obstructing the connecting channels through the marshes in the region southwest of Lens, has placed a belt of inundated land between him- self and the Canadian crops on & front of more than a mile. The inun- dations are a cover to the weakness the enemy would not have betrayed ever a few months ago, because they ‘reveal his intention to wage a purely defensive warfare along this part of the line. There are daily increasing signs that the German manpower is no longer what it was. The number of enemy troops in the field appears little less than before the opening of the spring; operation, but the spirit f the a - longer that of an assured, CASE TO BOOST. FREIGHT RATES Interstate Commerce Commission Denies Fifteen Per Cent In. _ crease in Tariffs ALL RATES SUSPENDED | UNTIL NEXT SEPTEMBER Carriers Based Appeal Upon In- crease in Wages and Cost of Materials Washington, June 30.—The inter- state commerce commission today de- nied the plea of railroads of the Uni- ted States for a horizontal increase of 15 per cent in freight rates. ©; In-its decision the commission ‘indi- cated a willingness to increas’ class rates: in. the eastern district approxt- mately 14 per cent. Since about one- fourth of the freight handled is moved under class rates, the decision vir- tually allows the eastern lings about four per, cént increase in gross freight revenue. Increases sought in rates on coal, coke and iron ore will, be grant- ed. The commission found, as a re-' sult of extended hearings, that. the carriers: generally: show a substantial and increasing prosperity and that they have:ample resources with which to conduct transportation. \ ’ No! ‘Rehearing Probable. Little sympathy was given the argu- ments of the roads that they were victims of war prices, the commission holding that the carriers have profited by the mobilization of troops. The commission suspended the . proposed tariffs until Oct. 28, but it indicated that no rehearing of the case will be of value at this time, and suggested cancellation of the tariffs. The rate advance cases were born of the threatened nation-wide railroad workers’ strike in the summer of 1916. The first mention of an advance in rates was. made in connection with the passage of the Adamson law, which averted the impending strike. January 1, 1917, found the railroads in a position unparalleled in their his- tory. They were hauling freight and passengers at the top of their driving power, working their plants at speed and capacity. exceeding what experts previously had, believed the | aeey So much freight been pour ‘that ‘they ‘could mat handle it all; rails, sidings, terminals, yards were congested with a burden of loaded cars. ‘Tremendous congestion ensued, especially at:;qastern: seaports where ocean-carrying vessels were not suffi- ciently “plentiful, ‘and ‘an acute car shortage resulted. ‘Money was pouring in to the rail- roads too;'‘ faster ‘than ever before. ‘Receiptsfor the 12 months nearly reached: the - $4,00,000,000 mark; net revenues approximated $1,000,000,000. It seemed as if the railroads were at the dawn of a new day’s prosperity. Then another factor, more potent than the Adamson law and more unexpect- ed than the threatened strike, came into the situation. It was the rising cost of necessities. Coal Prices Rose. Coal prices rose—in/ some cases more than 100 per cent. Steel rails, steel cars, structural steel, everything of iron and steel that entered into the operation of railroads went up in price.

The transport, whose expected arrival had not been previously announced publicly, came steaming into the ‘harbor in a long line at an early’hour. The news that the Americans were arriving spread with amazing rapidity, and by the time ‘the troops’:#hips drew along- side the quays where the men were to disembark, thagnands of people were on hand. A wild welcome::was shrieked by whistles of craft.in the harbor and by shouts from the crowd which’ | was thickly' dotted with the vari-colored uniforms of French’ soldiers and sail- ors. Meanwhile the bands on the warships were playing. Delegations of American army offi- cets $rom Paris and; American naval men from elsewhere were present with.

The: men.were. prepared for every emergency during this period. Weath- er conditions during the entire voy- age were ideal and the men arrived in excellent health. The various units of the American expeditionary forces having reached France safeiy, the censor has released dispatches’ filed during the week de- scriptive of the arrival of the differ- ent contingents. ‘No previous word has been received, with the exception of one dispatch on Wednesday an- nouncing that the second contingent haa disembarked and gone into camp. roads as fuel, went up, supplies and|’ equipment: of salt sorts '‘métinted ‘to new high’ pride levels. 'Unskilled 1a/ bor threatened:td:'go' into’ other’ mar- kets where. pay was better and the roads claimed they ‘had to advance wages in order to keep men. Operat- ing costs continued to go up. The vision of a day of prosperity faded. In its place there soon came a time when the roads, though taking in more money than ‘ever before, said they were not receiving as large a net return as they’ had received 12 months ‘before.’ The increase in oper- ating costs, they contended, grew out of all proportion to the increased busi- ness. Instead of making money, the roads claimed they were on the verge of losing millions at a day when they were operating at maximum capacity. The new moneys paid out under the Adamson law were vut a small per- centage, the railroads claimed, of the totals paid out in higher operating costs. A general movement looking toward relief was begun. Start Machinery, Within 48 hours after the supreme court upheld the Adamson law the machinery for a rate increase was put in motion. Relief, the railroads claimed, was imperatively necessary, and as time was of the essence of the situation they sought to obtain it with all possible speed. Dividing into three groups, the railroads sought the inter- state commerce commission’s aid in meeting their difficulties. The percentage of the advance had not been determined upon at the first conference. Finally all three groups decided that a 15 per cent advance was needed to enable them to meet hew conditions. This, it was various- ly estimated, would yield from $300,000,000 to $400,000,000 annual rev- enue. Judge’s Son Would Walk to Forks But | Officers Stop Him, Rugby, N.

T. Helgeson. There*is no formal opinion filed as yet. This will follow next week. County auditors will proceed to print the ballot as originally drawn by Mr. Hall. This means that the names will go on with the designations as set forth in the nominating petitions. In other words there will be no* special party columns on the ballot. This ruling, of course, is another point in favor of the league candidate, . M. Baer. Justice Bruce states that the Satur- day evening letter is not necessarily the view of’ the ‘court, which will be known only when the formal opinion is filed.

It is maintained by the state that Jones was assisting Heloy in» the jawitl- performance of his dut; The defense contends that the con- stable was: not properly accredited in the attachment case and that his au- thority to:act was insufficient.

CROWN PRICE THAN GUND UPON VERDUN Delivers Blows of Force ‘aid Mag- nitude With Degree-of Suc- cess ve pesrecae NEW TEUTON OFFENSIVE STARTS IN AISNE REGION (By Associated Press.) One of the most interesting sections of the front in Europe is the Verdun region, where a series of violent Ger- man attacks are taking place. Wheth- er these assaults are anything more than demonstrations on a large scale is difficult to make out. Neverthe- less, it is clear that the German crown prince, foiled a year ago, in his pro- longed attempt to take the French stronghold, is again delivering blows of force and magnitude on its de- fenses and has made some impression on the French line. The German attacks began the day before yesterday. The first drives were made on Hill ‘No. 304, north- west of Verdun. Yesterday a blow ‘of apparently great force was deliv- ered in, the region of Dead Man’s hill. In nejther cases, reports.of the de- fenders show, were. anything! more than first line trenches penetrated, andthe French last night got back most of the trenches lost the day before at Hill No. 304. ‘The offensive tendency of the Ger- mans under the crown prince is also in evidence on the Aisne front, where they have attacked violently in the vicinity of Cerny and Courbeny. They were diven back with terrific losses yesterdav in the latter region, but succeeded last night by blowing the Frerch positions to pieces and employ- ing liquid fire in taking a salient in the French positon northeast of Cerny. Or the British front in northern France the Germans are still on the back track. The official resume of the fighting yesterday in the Lens re- gion shows the British have bitten heavily into German-held territory, ad- vancing more than a mile on a four- mile front. This operation has car- vied the British line well into the scuth of the coal city. WILL OESCHGER BE ANOTHER ALEX?

MAKE AGREEMENT WITH TOWNLEY LEAGUE Farmers, Says Nonpartisan Re- presentative, Have Agreed on Minimum Wage SCALE IS FIXED AT FOUR DOLLARS A DAY St. Paul, Minn., June 30.—According to a statement issued today by John Gilbert, local representative of the (Nonpartisan; league,farmer -members of that organization, and members of the I. W. W.’s have reached a tenta- tive agreement by which the: latter will obtain employment, in North’ Da- kota harvest fields and those of other ‘states this summer. : The agreement is to bé ratified at a meeting to be held in Minot, N. D,, July. 11, Mr. Gilbert said. ’'The farmers ..on, their... part shave, guaranteed the 1..\W. W.’s a minimum wage of $4.00 daily,; with a sliding} scale to be based on the price of wheat. In return, they} gill be guar- anteed a’ sufficient supply of labofjand freedom from strikes. In ofl ‘both parties have agreed that the ral. roads will be paid the fare of the harvest hands, relieving the road of trouble incident to attempts at steal- ing rides. There is no doubt that the farmers] A. will ratify the agreement, Mr. Gilbert said. “It is a fine thing for our members,” he added, “for it assures,them labor at a reasonable wage when labor is scarce, and freedom from all the strike troubles they have had during the past few years. The, statement in a telegram from Fargo that the I. W. W's think they are entitled to wages of $11.45 a day is erroneous. We have found them reasonable in their demands. Naturally railroad of- ficials are pleased with their part in the arrangement.” BRAZIL'S NAVY CO-OPERATES WIT AMERICAN FLEET Washington, June 30.—Brazil’s navy has begun co-operating with the Amer- jcan fleet in South American waters ‘in hunting down German sea raiders and watching for German submarines. Sending of a special diplomatic mis- sion to Brazil to arrange for a co- ordination of forces and the co-oper- ation of the two governments is un- der consideration by the United States. Without formal declaration of war, Brazil thus practically has joined the United States against Germany. Co- incident with the inauguration of Bra- zil’s naval operation, a plan for pro- tecting her merchant ships in their voyages to allied ports with frozen meats and other foodstuffs has been put into effect. Whether Brazil will supplement this action by a formal declaration of war is not known, and by some officials such actions are re- garded as doubtful because the gov- ernment there is inclined to regard its action rather defensive than aggres- sive. For the present, it‘is believed, ‘Brazil's part will be adequately done if she contributes to the safety of the southern seas and to the movement to e Europe of foodstuffs.
