The, investigi- Ftion was ordered under the flexible provisions of ‘the tariff act under which the President may order an increase to a maximum of 50 per cent in the tariff. It results from | an appeal of Sidney Anderson, pres- ident of the Wheat Council of the United States, that the maximum | provisions be enforced. GASOLINE CUT I$ HEAVIER INNO. DAKOTA Price Now Based on Actual Shipping Point, Standard Oil Officials Say North Dakota’s recent. cut in gaso- line prices made by the Standard Oil Company varied from 1-2 to 3 1-2 cents a gallon by that company, ac- cording to Standard Oil officials. The variation is due, it is stated by F. E. Packard of Chicago, attorney for the company, because the Stan- dard put into effect a price. based upon the actual freight charges from the refinery shipping point. * Governor Nestos, last summer, in a statement asserted that the Stan- dard Oil Company based its price for North Dakota upon Superior, Wisconsin, as a shipping point when in fact the gasoline was not now shipped to North Dakota from there. Most of it comes from Casper, Wy- oming. he Standard Company promised to put into effect as soon as normal conditions ~ obtained a llast night when it was announced that after November 25 the Reich would be unable to meet unemploy- ment bills in the Ruhr and the Rhineland, In the event political pressure does not force a change in the policy of the government it is be- lieved the local authorities in the occupied regions will be empowered to deal with the French and Beigian regimes thus making the future of the areas dependent upon such agree- ment as may be effected in local negotiations. This, it’ is pointed out, will place a preponderance share of the responsibility for the people's fate on the shoulders of France, and | Belgium. A dispatch received in London last night by the Central News Agency in Berlin reported a semi- official announcement that Germany hia completely stopped all repara- tions payment on the ground that France had violated the Versailles treaty and therefore Germany could not. The London Daily Mail carried a dispatch saying that Germany had decided to repudiate the treaty and disregard it as long as the Ruhr is occupied. There has been no direct confirmation of these advices, NEGOTIATIONS UNDERWAY, Paris, Nov. 15.—Advices from French sources in Berlin say that the negotiations between representa- tives of the occupted territory and the Stresemann government concern- ing the future of the Rhineland are proceeding. LEGION NAMES ‘NEW OFFICERS Lively Balloting Marks An- nual Election of Post Lively balloting marked the an- nual election of yilicers of Lloyd Spetz Pd, American Legion, here last night.

The black duck, Mr. Crawford suid, is plentiful on the east coast but is seldom seen in North Dakota.

At the same time it became known that Arthur LeSueur, an attorney prominent in league circles for sev- eral years and J. W. Brinton, some- times -henchman of Townley. and Lemke, refused to appear as witness- es before the grand jury, Both men now reside out of the state, and they could not be compelled to come here and testify. Both wére notified several times. It was their evidence, it was said, that resulted in, the indictment against Townley, Lemke and, Paddock when the ‘grand jury investigated the wrecking of the bank in May, 1922. At that time Townley was in- dicted on a charge of embezzlement, co-defendants on the same bill being F. W. Cathro, L. P. McAneney, Wil- Committee He'll Prove Truth of Charges OPERATED WITH GANG? Will Charge That Forbes Con- spired With Others in Operations Washington, Nov. 15.—Stirred by Charles R.. Forbes’ charges against committee counsel, John F. O’Ryan told the ‘senate investigating com- mittee’ today that he expected to prove “convincingly the whole truth of Mortimer’s charge that Cob Ferbes was one of the gang of conspirators that were tied together, teeth and jowl, to defraud the government.” “I expect further to show,” O'Ryan said, “that this criminal conduct was in consonance with his pre- vious life's ‘record.” The statement of General O’Ryan, who is the committee’s general coun- sel, was made immediately on re- sumption of the hearing and before the cross-examination of the former director of the Veterans Bureau was resumed. “Yesterday the cross-examina- tion of Col. Forbes,” O’Ryan said, “he made charges that the testimony. thus far introduced which impeaches his character is not only falae but it is the result of subordination of perjury and the cooercion of wit- nesses. . “He also charged that documents and papers which would have indi- cated the innocence of Col. Forbes were withheld by counsel for the committee. “When asked for proof of these charges the witness said that his counsel was in possession of the proof and thereupon his counse? said he was prepared to offer the proof ta, the committee, “I did not wish at that time to abandon the cross-examination of the witness to go into a collateral matter. It is a well known .recourse of embarassed witnesses to discharge attention from themselves by t- tacking others. “Col. Forbes I regarded as irre- sponsible. I expect however to prove much more than irresponsibility in his sconduct of ice and his lack of care of the disabled. < “Col.
