George Gorman, assistant states at- torney, in opposing writs of hab2as corpus for the two men stated that “Chicago is in a state of warfare and to release these men will only mean more murders, more bombing and more violence.” Judge Scanlon interrupted to say he the writs.

The legislature in its budget, pill appropriated $30,000 @ year or the grain inspection de- partment. A. previous law provided that the grain inspection should be , paid out, of fees ‘collected. The ques- :tion wag raised as to whether or not ‘money could be transferred from the ‘appropriation under this situation. When 'the state grain grading act was depigred unconstitutional by the United States Supreme Court, Attor- + neyrGenera}:, Johnson’ Held that the state emergency co! isgion ‘was em- powered to transfer money from any balance in the fund to be used by the state ralroad commisston undef tlie old grain inspection law which was revived by the nullification of the grain grading act. ‘The new question arose when -the state auditor and state treasurer cons{dered the various and conflicting statements in the statutes! with reference to the appro- priation. The ruling will permit transfer of sufficient’ funds to enable the state railroad commission to maintain an inspection department, The elevator accounting department ‘is now main- tained here and the grain inspection department at the Agricultural Col- lege.

Dakota express rate case in which the state opposes an increase of 13 1-2 percent in intrastate express rates hag been submitted to the In- terstate Commerce Commission. V, E. Smart, representing the state railroad} commission, contended that decrease in the cost to the express company of loss and damge claims, due to price inflation and improvement of morale; of employes, and the reduction in wa- ges more than equalled the amount of increase in revenue asked by the express company before these savings were recorded.

RUSSIANS TAKE RAP ATU.S.IN | MAKING REPLY Declare Policy of Allies _Has| + Proved’ Costly ‘to’ the -‘Entire World Genoa, t*-~ 11 (By the A. P.)—For- eign Minister Tchitcherin, of Soviet Russia, personally handed the Rus- sian reply to the allied memorandum today to Foreign Minister Schanzer, ‘of Italy. A friendly conversation of 45 min: utes followed in which M. Tchitcherin stressed the fact the answer had been ‘prepared under dire insaructions from Moscow. He repeated assurances of his good will and desire to co-operate; with other delegates. Extracts from the'!preamble which became available today show that it strongly stigmatizes the obstinancy of certain powers in excluding ‘Russia from international political and eco- nomic life refusing her equality of treatment, with the only object, it al- leges, the satisfaction of their finan- cial claims. “When one considers,” says the test, “what this attitude has cost the world, the United States which Inau- gurated jt and Russia which has suf- fered its tragic consequences in the past five years it is difficult to believe that only the interest of the Russian pond holders and former proprietors of nationalized properties are being considered, “The incidents’ of the last few days, especially in connection with the re- storation of private property show ‘that political consi*~~-*ions have been grafted on a purely material ques- tion.” WANT MIXED COMMISSION Genoa, May 11.—(By the A.
