' c WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 25 PALESTINE = -- WOMEN ARE WAKING UP Women Are Not Only Demand- ing But Are Receiving Equal Rights In The Home Haifa, Palestine, Jan, 25,—The movenient for the_emancipation of:the _ women of Palestine from their social | yoke has just received a new impetus by an exhibition of women’s handi- craft held here, with results far greater than any hoped for by its most ardent supporters. G The idea of woman in industry is a new one in this land. Before the great’ war woman was considered a burden. Her place was the jail like home from the confinement of which | she would dare leave only by special permission from her. lord and master, the husband. This was especially! true among the more ignorant of the} Mohammedans who believed that wo- | man had neither brains norsgoul and| fnust bé treated as an animal. The! fact that she was bought and sold in- weve Uh wesuis iuarrieu Lor love added | great strength to that belief. ° Today all this is changed. Women are not only. demanding but are also} receiving equal rights in the home. To the utter consternation of men, they have thrown to the winds cus- | Bronx Zoo, New York. the “Turtle Trot,” which she may introduce to the stage. upon elds tabooed a few years ago.} | tom and tradition and have embarked They have definitely entered industry and are as a result 1elieved in part of the economic dependence which kept them subjugated for centuries. | The exhibition which was the first of its kind in Palestine was opened by, the high commissioner, Sir Her-/ bert Samuel. In the course of his speéch he praised the women of Pales- tine for .the part they are playing in the upbuilding of the country. | The exhibits whigh were all hand-} made; consisted chiefly of pottery,{ lace and embroidery. Basket making | was perhaps the most interesting of all articles on display. - It is believed that with’ proper ad- vertising, markets could be found and a great demand created for some of the things which the country’ wo- men in Palestine are capable of mak-| ing. : POTATO MARKET PROBLEM UP Representatives of Growers in| Northwest Part of State to Meet Minot, Jan. 25—Business men and farmers wh are interested in potato | lawyers wko would turn their v \ Photo shows . Valley City, 'William Gummer, charged with the brutal murder of Marie Wick, will be brief, according to present plans of his lawyers. ‘ The defense will hold that the state’s chain of circumstantial, evi- dence is not sufficient to show Gum- mer committed the murder, and its evidence will be directed, it is ,ex- pected, toward breaking down what it considers the weak and improbable points in the state’s chain. Judge Barnett, of fiefense coun says that Gummer will havé not mor than six or seven witnesses. He i ot willing to say ‘whether or not Gummer will go on the stand him. self and face the battery of -! 1 guns on him during cross-examination. Gummer cannot be compelled to tes- tify. The court room has been filled to production and marketing’ in north- Capacity constantly since the intro- western North Dakota have been asked to attend a conference to be held in Minot Tuesday, February 1, at 1:30 p. m. in the Minot Association of Commerce rcoms. The meeting has been called for the purpose of planning concérted action toward se- curing better marketing facilities-and also_to discuss ways and means of financing and operating potato ware- houses in various ,towns’ and cities of this section. Between 15 and 20 towns in north- western North Dakota are contemp- lating the erection of warehouses and in each instance business men and farmers are working together on the project. The Minot Association’ of Commerce decided to hold the confer- ence February 7 so as te enable rep- resentatives from these towns to ex- change views and organize a master crganization te qoordinate the efforts Gf the various potato growers and marketing associations in combating Marketing problems. It is believed possible that a potato market can: be established in Minot if efforts to that end are directed along the proper channels, OVERDRAFTS NOW SHOWN IN _ BANK’S REPORT An additional liability of $15,615.29 of the defunct Scandinavian-American Bank of Fargo to the Bank of North Dakota has been discovered by audi- tors in the bank, it was learned\today. The amount is an overdraft on the re- serve account of the Fargo bank. An overdraft’ of the reserve account of the Prosper State Bank of $6.872.47 also has been discovered.

Judge Cooley abandoned his earlier intention of limiting the attendance to those who could obtain seats only and has permitted the use of a large number of additional chairs and also all of the available wall space is be- ing used by persons standing up. Doors to the court room are also per- mitted to be open and the crowd stands well back into the corridor. Persons secking admission to the court room arrive at the court house as early as/ Gand 7 A. M. and remain there throughout the day. They bring a lunch and hold down their seats during the noon recess of two hours. When court recesses at 12, which is the usual hour, a few of those at- tending the trial leave but the big bulk of those who have seats retain them. Gummer’s Parents There. Mr. and Mrs, Gummer and several of their friends have been given places in the court room in the front row of seats, directly behind the-rail alongside of which their son sits. They have had this place constantly since the trial began or from the time when Mrs. Gummer arrived, the day after the testimony w4s commenced. Both Mr. and Mrs. Gummer follow the evidence closely. Hans Wick, father of the murdered girl, has a place inside the rail on the opposite side of the room from that occupied by the jury. There is a double set of ,chairs for the ac- commodation of the jurors in the court room and the north set of chairs is given over to witnesses and other auditors and by consent, Mr. Wick ARR eee tration, There wefe several over. drafts ‘in the individual depositors’ accounts amounting to about $100.00, While the amount is small it is held very unusual that the bank did not show these in its statement, as is cus- tomary with banks. ‘The overdrafts of banks on their re- serve accounts carried with the Bank of North Dakota total $84,825.29, most of the overdrafts being in closed banks. These were not carried 2s overdrafts in the public report but, it is understood, as due from other “banks. The method of carrying these items so that they might be concealed will be discontinued by Manager C. R. Green, it is understood. UNDERWOOD AND LIGHT CO. AGREE Differences between the village of Underwood and the receiver for the Central Power Company, of Wash- burn, have been settled, the railroad commission has been advised. The case originated when the receiver asked fcr authority to dismantle the street lights. The village trustees’ replied that effort had been made to raise the charges for lights.

Mr, Gummer, the father, of the ac- cused man, is standing by’ his son in the hope that he will be able to clear himself of the charge. The father, however, has declared himself anxious that the man responsible for the crime be apprehended. o Guinmer Hoid Composure, William Gummer retains the same composure, characteristic of him dur- ing the preliminary examination. Sit- ting at the foot of the counsel's, ta- ble, he remains almost motionless throughout the sessions of the court, 3, head erect and his eyes straight ahead. At times he seems to be al- most staring. During the time that the bioody evidence of the crime was brought into court he avoided: look- ing at the exhibits as much as pos-j sible, although the photograph of Miss Wick lying on the hed as she was left that night by the murderer, often lay on the tabie immediately in front o him and within two or three feet of him. At times Gummer whispers to| his brother-in-Jaw, H. W. Swenson of Devils Lake, who is-associated with) the counsel for the defense. Gum- mer has a tablet in front of him and sometimes writes notes to his counsel while the examination of witnesses is under way. The only evidence of nervousness is found in the way he holds his hands. Frequently he will clasp his hands tight together crossing the fingers in a very unusual grip; Some- times too, he loses his color, growing wery pale while particularly gruc- some features of the case are being ses.@When Mrs, Van g the noises she ‘heard that fateful night and which noises the state will maintain were made at the time of the first assault upon the girl, Gummer was’ notice- ably affected, clinching his hands tighly, but showing no other sign of losing his composure. — VACANCY AT WEST POINT IS OFFERED} Senstor BE.
