An-' other paragraph, while similar, is written in an entirely different man- | ner in the photographed copy as com- pared to the first published letter. | The paragraph in which the res- ignation is specifically offered in the letter of March 30 reads ‘as follows: “T haveidone my duty.

In other words, I herewith tender my resignation as manager of the Bank of North Dakota, TO TAKE EFFECT AT THE END OF MY YEAR’S SERVICE, APRIL 4, 1920.” The paragraph beginning the same, in the photographic copy reads as} follows: “T have done my duty.

FACE SERIOUS COAL PROBLEM Lignite Is in Unusual Demand, According to Information at Hearing EASTERN SHIPMENTS SLOW, Deficiency in Shipments at the Head of Navigation Mil- lions of Tons Many public utility companies in North Dakota will face a serious problem this fall in supplying their coal requirements, according to in- formation brought out in the hearing here in which Minot, Fargo and Grand Forks utilities seek authority from the tailroad commission to make surcharges from September 1. Testimony was given to the com- mission that lignite coal mines in North Dakota will not at this time guarantee a supply of coal, nor guar- antee a price quotation for longer than 30 days. Uncertainty as to the car situation af labor difficulties are said to be the reasons assigned for this condition, as well as prob- able unprecedented demand for lig- snite coal. Coal Volume Less. L. F. Whitney, of St. Paul, vice- president of the Northwestern Coal company, said that the docks at Du- luth and Superior are practically cleared of eastern coal. He said there now is about 1,700,000.tons of coal at the lakes and at the same time last year there wa§ over seven million tons of coal. Doubt was ‘ex- pressed by utility men if sufficient coal can be delivered to the head of navigation before | freezing to ¢are for normal requirements. M. L. Hibbard, of the Union Light, Heat and Power company, of Fargo, said that his chased all the Elkhorn lump coal—- coal used in making gas—that could be purchased, en route in cars from the lake head to Fargo. Figures were presented: by the Red River Valley Power company, Grand Forks, which asked the com- mission in its original petition to au- thorize a surcharge Of 10 per cent on electricity bills, 15 per cent on steaia heat, and 12 1-2 per cent on gas, and in a supplemental petition filed yes- terday by it and the Minot and Fargo, companies asking a sufficient sur- charge to absorb the increased freight rates, to show that the in- creased cost of coal would amount to $69,800 per year. Of this amount $35,950 was represented in the ac- tual coal price increase since May t and $34,850 in increased freight charges. Total Increased Cost. The total increased cost of coal for the Fargo utility was represented as $155,147. The Fargo company asked originally a surcharge on electric bills of 20 per cent, 25 per cent on steam heat bills and 12 1-2 per cent on gas bills. The Fargo, Grand Forks and Minot companies are controlled by the same interests. It was stated that the in- creased cost for operation in Grand Forks is lessened somewhat by the use of some hydro-electric power.

It is the plat- form pledge of our party and one which every Democratic legislator should be proud to support. “Great forces for good represented by the Womanhood of the nation will be unloaded with the final adoption of the nineteenth amendment and [ again urge your best efforts to this behalf.” Walker Promises Defeat Speaker Walker sent the following message to the speaker of the North Carolina house of representatives: “Have amendment defeated over- wheliningly in the lower house. We are proud of.our mother state of North Carolina: God grant that she stanfl true to her glorious tradition and “history.” A telegram signed by 63 of the 120 members of the North Carolina house, stating that they would de- feat ratification by that state, was received, by, Mr. Walker last Thurs- Suffragists Claim Majority Conflicting claims as to results of the vote were made. Seth Walker, speaker and leader of the opposition, said the’ amendment would be re- jected. “We have ratification beaten, that is all there is to it,” he declared.
