BINDERS BEGIN HUMMING OVER - ~~ SLOPE COUNTRY Cutting of Rye is Now Under- _ way, and Samples of Wheat are Shown in the City 'The hum of the binder. now is be-| ing heard in the fertile fields of the state. A. ms Cutting of rye is underway in many places, and wheat harvest will begin soon. Grain that has not been. touch- ed by rust or hail Will yield above the average4 according to farmers. The heads are well filled and the quality is good. J. B. Saylor, of’ Mandan avenue, who has land in Emmons county, today dis- played samples of ryé and wheat grown on his land. The Jumbo rye will make 15 to 20 bushels an acre, he estimates, and. 1s of good quality. Wheat on a farm through which: the south Soo tracks run, will make 20 to 25 bushels an acre, it is beieved. It will he ready for cutting in ten days, Mr. Saylor said. There/is not a bit of rust in it. a Mr. Saylor reports that Olaf Felt- heim, who farms one of the biggest farms in this section, will have good yields. He farms about 1,500 acres, part of which is in: Emmons county and part in Burleigh county. Obert Olson, state treasurer, receiv- ed samples of wheat from his farm in Bowman county. The wheat on his land is the best in the neighborhood, according to the farm managed, who -estimates it will make 25 bushels an acre. Mr. Olson plans to be in Bow- man county during the harvest. ‘Loans made by France duting the* war to her. allies were about 12,000),- ‘000/40 francs. ¢ it | Cs BX-EMPRESSIS SUFFERER FROM ~ HEART DISEASE | Living Quiet Life of an Invalid Under Constant Care of a | Doctor WAS NEAR DEATH IN JUNE] Doorn, Holland, July 28.—The form- er.German Empress, Auguste Victoria has undergone so much distress dur- ig the past two. years that she’ has _ suffered for several months from ag- gravated attacks of heart disease. Re- | gently, she has been leading. the life of ‘an invalid. She has' had-milder attacks ‘of this malady for many years. At the House of Doorn, where, sur- | rounded by a staff of her own Berlin \'gérvants, and attended almost con- ;Stantly by Countess Keller-—-for man: j years her lady in waiting—she has re- cently been so completely ipdisposed that she has at times ‘been unable to walk and has not for a long time been permitted to walk up or ‘down the stairs. A special elevator was built for her use. Feels Loss of Children, Those familiar, with the inner life of the former Emperor’s household \ since the flight from Potsdam to Hol- {land declare that while William, con- soling himself with religion, has been more or less of a stoic, the former Em- press has suffered great mental dis- ! tress and has felt severely the separa-] tion from her children. From the time she arrived at Amer- igen in November 1918 she has suf- red continually. Now and then she; was the victim of heart attacks so se- vere that she was confined to her bed for several days at a time. In the spring of 1920 when the Kapp revolution in Berlin was followed by} 2n urgent ‘demand that the former Em- peror be closely guarded the life of the exiles became more constrained and Auguste’s ailment “more pro- nounced. ‘ She was constantly under the treat- ment of Dr. Haehner a Berlin physi- cian who is a member of the former |Emperor’s staff’ and also,:a noted; Dutch specialist in heart diseases, from Utrecht, was called into consultation. _ Was Near Death, ! He decreed that she must lead a very {quiet life and it, has been no secret at year, the former Empress suffered such violent attacks that her life was despaired of. On these occasions, the former Crown Prince and such others of the Hohenzollerns, who were with- in easy reach, were summoned to her bedside. At Doorn everything ‘has been done ‘to avoid disturbing the former kais- jerin.. News, or information that might ; tend to excite her, has been Kept from ther. She has never been Jeft entirely alone. If she has been able to walk in the garden, attendants were in easy | gall. 1 “TWENTY FIREMEN IN ARMOUR FIRE Chicago, July 28—Twenty firemen wefe overcome today while fighting fire that practically destroyed the beef house of Armour amid company, an five-story structure covering a block at the stockyards. , The flames menaced a million dollar worth ot beef in adjoining storage plants, CAMP TAYLOR IS ABANDONED Washington, July 28.—Abandon- ment of Camp Zachary Taylor, Louis- ville, Ky.,. was announced today by the war department, with the notice that the first division, now station- ed there, will be tranferred to Camp Dix, N.

Pack- ard, assistant attorney general. In a statement tcday Mr. Packard attacked the borrowing of the money at a high interest and directs quas- tions to W. A. Anderson, secretary of the industrial commission. “According to Bulletin ‘No. 7, seriés of 1920 ,the bank had at the close of business on July 15, 1920, ‘e: and due from banks’ $12,30: said Mr. Packard. “Just why the state should be borrowing money at this time and paying seven per cent interest in view of this statement cf cash on hand, is but one of the mys- teries which surround the entire ad- ministration of this unique instivu- tion. Referring to the condensed state. ment of the condition of the bank on July 15, there are a number of in- teresting things revealed rather b. suggestion than ‘by actual statement. It is to be noted that of all the money. this institution has handled only $2,759,385.30 has gone to pay mortgages upon farm lands. One item of $2,895,575.92 is labeled “bills receivable, re-discoufts, and public iransfers.” It would be highly’ in- teresting to know how much of this large sum of money is actually in- vested in bills oh ach and re- counts, and how much in “public transfers.” Why(lump three such im- portant items? ‘Can it be1that the | bank management has anything to cover up? The Transfers “Public transfers” “are’ authorized | by the ‘bank act and’ consist in the transferring money by the twist of a bookkeeper’s wrist from _ public funds to other public funds or to state owned enterprises. «If it is a fair question, Mr. An- derson, how much’ of this $2,895,- 515.92 consists of funds which have, been thus loaned to favorite stats departments and to the Drake and Grand Forks mill’and elevator prop’- sition? If I were compelled to guess 1 would guess that $2,800,000 would be included under the caption of ‘pub- lic transfers.” Another Question intéresting thing about this conde! statement is the item of $12,302, 3 under the caption “Cash and due from banks.” Now, Mr. Anderson, how much of this is “¢ash” and how much is due “from banks,” and from what banks is it due. In view of the fact that repeated calls by the State Bank have been made upon the banks of North Dakota in which public funds were deposited; it would be interesting to know how much of this large sum of money deposited in the bank of North Dakota, I have talked with a re- cently, from whose banks all public funds have been withdrawn. This ap. pears to be the general condition throughout the state. F; It would also be interesting“ to know how much of the public funds of this state are on deposit in the banks of New York, Chicago and the Twin Cities? Is it ten million, as has been charged, or is it six mil- (Continued on Page Two.) Another STATE ASSEMBLY MAJORITY FALLS TOREPUBLICANS Official, Figures ‘on: Contests in - Recent Primary Show Changes From Previous Totals RECALLS' MAY BE MADE Contest in Sheridan County Also May Change Line-up of State Senate Changes from unofficial tabulations of the legislative results in the June primary are given in the official count of the state canvassing board, which is endeavoring to complete its work at the statehouse today. % The results show: a victory for In- dependent Republican candidates in the primary. With the majority ‘of hold-over senators Nonpartisans, how- ever, the league still would have the, advantage in the state senate if all o those nominated tor the senatorial places were elected. If the independents hold their vantage gained in the primary in the election, they will control the house ot, representativés. If recalls which likely will be instituted against some league senators are succes#ful and the primary indications are borne out in the fall, the independents have a good chance of controlling. the state senate. A recheck of tHe totals of the can- vassing board of, official figures may change the results slightly, but the fol- lowing figures, showing the results of the legislative contest, appear to be accurate. nl The Totals The independents nominated 14 men for the state senate and the Nonpar- tisans nominated 12 in 26 districts in which there were nomination. Of the liold-over senators eight are classed as independents and 15 as! Nonpartisans. Of the 113 representatives nominat- ed in forty-nine legislative districts in the state, the independents nominated 60 and the Nonpartisans nomipated 53. , Beck’s Vote Close In several counties the nominees are mixed ‘between the Nonpartisan and the Republicans by close votes.

LIPTON ADITS APTER BIG RACE Sir Thomas Willing to Challenge ; ‘Again if No One Will Seek | i Prized Cup | RESOLUTE DESERVED RACE New York, July 28—American yacht sportsmen today celebrated the vic- tory of Resolute over Shamrock IV off Sandy Hook just before sundown last evening, which means the retention of the international yacht cup in the United States. At the same time the sportsmen filled the air with. praises of the great sportsman ship of Sir Thomas Lipton, the Irish baronet, who made his fouth attempt to, capture the prized trophy. “I am very sorry, but the best boat won,” said Sir Thomas, and he. praised the conduct of the race by American hands. “L shall until next year to give someone else a chance to challenge and then I shall rechallenge myself,” he continued. “I have no. excuse to offer, Resoltte’s the ‘better boat.’”” First Race in 1851 The race yesterday afternoon made the series three victories for Resolute j and two for Shamrock IV, It marked the thirteenth successive\ time: since the inauguration of the international yacht races a half century ago that the American boat has won, and retained America’s cup won in the first race from Great Britain in 1851. Sir Thomas Lipton has made four attempts to take the grail back to the Royal Ulster Yacht club of England} since 1899. The race yesterday was} Defender Outsails Shamrock =" | The defender. outsailed the green sloop decisively, boat for boat in the last contest of a tempestuous series— the closest and most hard fought in | the history of the precious: trophy— crossing the line at 7:52:22 (unofficial time), only about 25 minutes before the expiration of the six hours time; limit. : Indeed, the last half of the race was a race of the defender against time, with the fate of the contest resting on the wind, for the challenger was about one mile astern when the American sloop flashed over the line. . It was a thirty mile windward and leéward race, this final contest of 1920, started in light airs after post- ponement at fifteen minute intervals fo two hours and a quarter. At 8:05:34 Shamrock finished (un- official time.) After having been led by the chal- lenger two-thirds of the distancé to the first. mark, a windward leg, Reso- lute crossed her bows 10 miles from the start and breezed into a lead which she maintained and steadily increased to the finish line. By the time 22 miles of the course had been covered, the defender was a mile and a half in the lead, reaching back and forth on her way to the finish line. At one time toward the end she was two miles ahead of the Shamrock, but the challenger,came up to within’a mile at the finish. Official finishing times were: Reso- lute, 7:52:15; Shamrock IV., 8:05:20. The elapsed times were: Resolute, 5:33:15; Shamrock IV., 5:4 . Give Victor Welcome While waiting for the Shamrock to finish, the steam yacht Victoria ran dewn to Resolute and all hands, led by Sir Thomas Lipton, gave the vic- tor three cheers. The spectators’ fleet gave the defender such a noisy welcome ag she crossed the line that it could be heard ten miles away on shore. The Resolute took thirteen minutes and five seconds less than the Sham- rock to cover the course. With the time allowance of six minutes and for- ty seconds which the defender received | from the Shamrock the corrected time! was 5:41:40, aes ARMY AVIATORS HALT IN FLIGHT Edmonton, July 28—The four Unit- ed States army airplanes, which ar- rived here yesterday ‘on their flight from New York to Alaska, will not start for Jasper, Alberta, the next stop, until Thursday morning.

Judge Says They Insulted Courts ‘and Declared League Papers Distorted Néws Fairmont, Minn., July 28.— Judge E. C. Dean today denied motions for. a new trial for A. C. Townley, president of the Nonpartisan league, and Joseph Gilbert, former organization manager, who were convicted at Jackson last, summer of charges of conspiracy to encourage dis- loyalty during the war. The charges were based on speech- es of the two-men delivered in. be- half of the Nonpartisan’ league in Jackson county. Townley and, Gilbert ‘are under sentence to 90 days ‘in thé; Jackson county jail. It is expected that the case will be applied to the state su- preme court, The two league officials were con- victed last July by a jury of. Jack- son county farmers, after a bitter tought trial lasting three weeks. Scores Lawyers In a memorandum accompanying his action, Judge Dean severely cen- sured the attorneys for Townley an: Gilbert, who were George Hoke, George Nordlin and Thomas V. Sulli- van, all of St. Paul. Conduct of the defendant's counsel is characterized as “uniformly insolent and extremely obnoxious.” . The judge states his belief that many of these “insults” were obvious- ly sthdied and pre-arranged for the purpose of bringing about errors that would overturn the case, “It would require,” Judge Dean’s memorandum says, a court of far greater patience: and more angelic lisposition than this court possesses to have passed through the insults and contemptuous conduct displayed and persistently indulged in‘by some of the attorneys for the defendant with an unruffled temper and tongue. » League PapersBistorted Judge Dean ‘further charges . that Nonpartisan league newspapers, which has a representative in the courtroom, published vicious and un- truthful statements in an attempt to discredit the court, the jury, and the trial. Court’s Language ‘The decision in part. follows: “The ‘grounds on which the motion for a new trial is apparently based and which the court in its ruling takes into consideration are: “Because the verdict is not justified by. the evidence. ‘ “Because of errors in laws occur- ring at the trial and excepted by the defendant at the time. “Because the verdict is contrary to law. “Because of errors of law occurring at the trial and hereby excepted to and stated. + “After a full and careful ¢onsidera- tion of. All matters before the court and the several assignments of error it is ordered that the motions of de- fendants for new trial be denied. Reasons For Trial In his memorandum Judge Dean in party says: “Considering the motion for a new trial the court has been obliged to do so without the aid of counsel in’ pre- senting a brief or citing law authori- ties on the questions raised and with- out argument of coutisel either oral or written, nor has the case been pre- sented in the usual or customary way. “A brief was'to, have’ béen;prepared, by counsel for defendants oh certain questions raised and presented to the court before the case should be con- sidered submitted. More than ample time has been allowed the defendants’ attorneys to prepare and submit their brief and written arguments, but none has been received. Therefore, it has been deemed best to treat the case at (Continued on Page Three) WINTER WILL BE MILD, THEORY OF POOR RICHARD 1697 Rainless Dog Days Point to Temperate Days, Says Old Almanac / Three weeks of “dog days in 'Bis- marck have been bright and fair en- ough to justify hope for a fine mild winter, according to weather fore- casters.
