Mr. Langer’ revealed the inner work- ings of what he terms the “Valley City Bank Robbery,” the Consumers’ United Stores Co., and Townley’s oth- pivate bank newspaper and nterprises. He also spoke tion to the board of adminis- tration bill. Senator F. W.

J. A. A. Burn- quist, who had asked executives it prospects ‘were favorable for early for ‘ratification of the federal suf- frage amendment. NO SPECIAL PROBABLE. Governor Lynn J. Frazier has kind- ly but firmly informed national sut- frage leaders that he will not call a special session of legislature for the sole purpose of acting upon the na- tional suffrage amendment. Govern- or Frazier, in a personal interview with Miss Alice Paul of St. Paul, rep- resenting the national suffrage asso- ciation, and in a wire to Carrie Chap- man Catt has taken the stand that while North Dakota is for equal suf- frage and will undoubtedly give its unqualified approval at the earliest possible moment, the urgency of the situation is-not sufficient to warrant the incurring of the no small expense which would be incident to the con- vening of the general assembly in ex- traordinary session. Governor Frazier has similarly ex- pressed himself to Governor Burn: quist. of Minnesota and. Governor Goodrich of Indiana, who wired him recently for his views as to the advis- ability of calling a special-session to act on the suffrage amendment. In his conferences with Miss Paul, the chief executive stated that when the regular . session adjourned last March it seemed probable that a spe- cial session would be necessary. He informed her, however, that nothing had since occurred which would in- crease the certainty of an extraordi- nary session, and he stated that he did not feel the supporters of suffrage in this state would demand the. ex- penditure ofa large sum for the con- vening of the assembly for only ‘a few days if no other heason that the rati- fication of the suffrage amendment arose. He assured ‘Miss Paul that it there should be a special session the suffrage amendment woyld be among the first matters brought up and that he was confident, of its almost unani- mous, ratification. _ . Should there be no special session of the North Dakota assembly, Flick- ertail women might still be given the benefit ot equal suffrage before the next, genera] election in,1920 through fayorable. action on the part of other states. The approval of only three- fourths of the commonwealths is re- quired. Should there develop a situa- tion ‘in which action on the part of North Dakota would saye the day for the suffs, the question. of calling a special session before the next gener- ai election might be, ais to te BILLION WHEAT. CROP OUTLOOK Minneapolis, June 16.—Trade agree- ments relative, tothe distributjon of the American wheat crop, will be -mail- ed from the office of Julius Barnes, federal director, in New ,York, today, according to announcement made by Frank .

The troupe .was playing Fargo last week. When the show people depart- ed, Miss ‘Shirley went with them. Her parents notified the police, and the company, en route to Billings, was. headed off here by Chief Martineson. The Fargo girl is a slight, childish little sprite who is very attractive. LOFTHUS TAKES WATERS’ PLACE AS BYANINER Vacated by Manager of Bank of Dakota 0. E, Loftus of Kloten today was appointed state. bank examiner by term of Major James R. Waters, now manager of the Bank of North Dakota, expiring. March 11, 1921. Mr. Loftus imrfediately assumed his new duties. State Examiner Loftus has been.a resident of North Dakota for 16 years and -has. been actively ‘engaged in banking for 12 years. He resigns the post of cashier of the First State ‘vank of Kloten to accept Governor ‘¥rezier's appointment. Mr. Loftus is a member of the state bankers’ asso- ciation and he attended the confer- ence of bankers with the industrial commission at which policies of the Bank of North Dakota were discussed. Gil Semingson of Minot, former dep- uty examiner for the Minot district, is installed as chief deputy here, suc- geeding ‘Eric A. Thorberg, .resigned. BERTHOLD BOY LINGERED TOO: LONG AT HOME Indian Soldier Returned to Camp Travis, Tex., as Technical Army Deserter Andrew Reed of Elbowoods, a Ree, was among the bravest of the brave when ‘the call came “to the colors.” Andrew enlisted in Bismarck. It was not his fault that he never got furta- er than Camp Travis, Tex. The army | life looked good to. Andrew, and when he was mustered out after the signing of the armistice, he promptly re-en- listed. He was then given a thirty- days leaye to. come home and see the folks. En route, Andrew is charged with having done a little camouflaging. He altered his discharge papers, it is said, to show that he had served in France and had attained the honorary. rank of* sharp-shooter; somewhere, it seems, he acquired a couple of wound stripes, some overseas chev- rons and. sharpshooters’ tricolor, and. when Andrew. reached home he had on his full panoply. of medals and dec- orations. Fame was so-.sweet to Andrew that he overstaid his leave, and he was picked up in Bismarck a few days ago and now. is en route back to. Camp Travis, Among his possessions when given. the double-O at the police sta- tion: were dozens of eagles’ feathers, real. rough-riders’ spurs, French postal cards. by the scores, and medals, badges, . decorations,. chevrons and stripes of every known description. Andrew is only two months.over 18, and, while technically he is a deserter, it is not believed Uncle Sam will deal, very severely with the youngster. ENDORSE: BEER: AS. BENEFICIAL IN SOME CASES New. York, June 16.—The allied med- ical association today adopted.a reso- lution, at its convention here declaring that properly brewed lager beer was essential in the treatment of. certain cases. Light wine, if pure, was en- dorsed as beneficial in certain medical cases. §> \ 5 BAKER WANTS») "ARMY OF 500,000 Washington,. June 16.—Secretary Baker, appearing today before the.Sen- ate’s military. committee, insisted that congress make provision for an army. of 509,000 men until a permanent mil- itary: policy can be adopted. He de- clared the force of 300,000 proposed in the annual, appropriation: bill for the army as passed was “inadequate.” RETURN TUESDAY iMORNING.

WHITE GUARDS VICTORIOUS, Stockholm, June 16.—-White guards have, captured* the fort off: Krasney- amorka, on the Bay, of Kronstadt, ac- perth Frazier for the unexpired |. sued from: Esthonian headquarters. It is said the White Guards won their success ‘after the garrison of the fort had mutineed against the Bolshevivki § TRASSBURGERS GIVE GOVERNOR NUTS 70 CRACK Thrifty German Farmers Insist . Upon: Knowing Something About Townleyism Strasburg, June 16.—Gov. Frazier, accompanied by all the local lights of the Nonpartisan League, visited Stras- burg Saturday afternoon in the inter- ests of the Townley side of the coming election. Frazier dwelt at length on the de- sires of himself, Mr. Townley and the rest of their clique. At the close of his talk, he.had a chance to discuss things for a few minutes with people in the audience. The gentleman from the Westfield neighborhood took the governor on for a few minutes,’ W. Dodenberg, a farmer of the Westfield neighborhood for.more than thirty years, wanted to know something about the Industrial Commission. And he found out: | “Rodenberg: ‘Are there three mem- bers of the Industrial Commission pro- vided for?” : Gov. Frazier: “Yes.” Rodenberg: “Is it true that if the other two members vote ‘Yes’ and you vote ‘No’ that ‘No’ carries?” Fragier: ‘Well, I am given the final say 80, that they will know where to place the responsibility.” Rodenberg: ‘Then, the other two members are really just advisers, and might as well not vote on matters com- [ing before the commission?” Frazier: ‘Well, I have the last say.” ; Rodenberg: “Then the majority doesn’t rule any more?” At this point, Sen. C. A. Ward came to the governor’s assistance and tried to explain the matter so that it would suit the crowd. His explanation was something to the effect. that the gover- nor could veto acts of the legislature, and that he could not veto the work of this board. His explanation was wit- ty, but not in point. The conditions are in no wise similar. Two-thirds of the legislature can override the governor's. veto. Two- thirds of the Industrial Commission cannot. The governor's veto of legis- lative matters has to do with legisla- tion, not management of business en- terprises, Even today, in the matter of allow- ing bills for state expenses, the gov- ernor has no such “veto” power. Ward’s explanation was better than nothing, though. It got by an embar- rassing situation. The fact is that the only influence the governor has per- tains to laws and state appropriations. And Frazier found out Saturday that Emmons county farmers are wise to some of the jokers. No wonder Fritz Argast admits that Emmons is a bad territory for the league. H. Van Beek, one of the first Hol- lander settlers to come to Emmons county, took the governor to task on the hail insurance. The governor sug- a good law. And that’s about what the people will be demanding of a lot of the reecnt foolishness when they get as well acquainted with the stuff as they are with the hail insurance. SAID $443,000 WAS PAID TO COURT JUSTICE San Francisco, June 24.—William Dingey, under oath in a deposition taken here today, asserted that $413,- 000, had been paid Frederick Henshaw, then. supreme justice of the supreme court, after Henshaw had told him, Dingey said, he would see what he could do to affect,a reversal of the decision of the supreme court in the breaking of the trust laws in the will of Janies G. ‘Thayer.
