Davis declared ast tight in his address accepting the Democratic Presiden- | tial nomination. Formally putting under way the national campaign of 1924, he in- dicted the Republican party “in organized capacity for having shak- en public confidence to its very foundations,” and leid against it these specific charges: “Having exhibited deeper and * more widespread corruption than any that this generation of Amer- icans has been called upon to wit- ness. “Complacency in the face of that corruption and with ill will towards the efforts of hongst men to expose it. “Gross favoritism, to the _priv- ileged and utter disregard of the unprivileged. “Indifference to world peace and timidity in the conduct of foreign affairs. “Disorgani incoherence Declaring. that. on-the--reeuyrd. he would’ ask the voters of the country to pass judgment’ of condemnation, s a warning to all men who as- pire to public office, that dishon- esty, either in thought, word or deed, will not be tolerated in Am- Mr. Davis said the Demo- cratic party was prepared to offer in exchange a “program based on Democratic principles and guaran- teed by a record of Democratic per- formance.” What He Pledges The chief things to which pledged himself were: An honest, impartial, and, so far s human wisdom will permit, a just government.

Atkinson to the board of. city com- missioners was read into the record atthe meeting of the comniission last night as follows: “At the time the 36 inch trunk line sanitary sewer was constructed from Third street, west, to the Missouri river, in the winter of 1922 and 1923, I employed Commis- sioner H. A. Thompson as inspector on this work and personally paid him $700 for his service. At the time the construction work was started .I furnished Commissioner Thompson @ note book in which to keep a record of the location of the :wyes for house connections. Upon the completion of this work, Commissioner Thompson was re- quested by me to returh to the of- fice ‘this note book in order that a Proper. record could be made and placed on’ filé. This request , was never complied. with and although personally’ requested several times since to’ retérn this note book to the office, he has never done so. “On March 14, 1924, I wrote to Commissioner Thompson again re- WEARING OF KNICKERSIS_.

SEEK CONFAB ON N. D. GRAIN GRADING: WORK Emergency Commission ‘Un- able to Further Provide Funds, It Says A conference with the board of riMlroad commissioners, to evolve some méthod of keeping the grain grading department functioning, has been suggested to John N. Hagan, state superviser of grains and grain grades, by the state emergency com- mission. The action was taken by members of the emergency commission when, they announced, the state emergency fund was endangered to the point where it cannot advance further cred- its to the grain grading fund pend- ing a decision in the supreme court of the United States on the validity of the state’s grain grading measure. A resolution of the emergency com- mission states that the legislature of 1923 failed to appropriate money for the maintenance and operation of the department of grades, weights and measures, a department created by initiated law and which was ex- pected to Ye run with fees collected. The emergency commission says it has advanced, by way of loan, $12, 613.74 out of the total emergency fund of $40,000, appropriated for con- tingency purposes for two years end- ing June 30, 1925, and that “each of the members of this commission realize the importance of having a department of grades, weights and measures maintained so that there be some regulation of the grain business questing him to return this book as evidenced -by the - attached copy made to this letter. I ask that this communication be placed in the rec- ords of the next regular meeting of the Board of City Commissioners and. that this communication be placed on file in order that in the future when. the cost to the city’ is several hundred dollars ‘in locating these wye connections, the respon- sibility for this cost may be proper- ly placed.” Commissioner Thampion moved the letter be received and fifed. Mr. Thompson said today that the book had been left at the oitlee of the engineer. American Indians have long be- in the state.” The commission reso- lution says that “we realize the needs of the department and deplore our inability to advance further credits to what we have already furnished toward the maintenance and upkeep of this department.” “ The members of the emergency commission, consisting of Gov. Nes- tos, Commissioner of Agriculture and Labor J. A. Kitchen and Secretary of State Thomas Hall, may-meet the board of railroad commissioners, whose duty it is to appoint the su- perviser of grains and grain grades, this week.

P.)— The British government has sent a batallion of troops to reinforce’ the British garrison in the Sudan as the resulf of a clash between Egyptians and British soldiers at Atbara, fol- lowing disturbances in which the Egyptian troops are said to have at- tacked: the British with bricks at their barracks. According to the British official dispatches the trouble started at Khartum, Saturday, when military cadets who paraded with rifles re- fused to give up their arms upon re- turning to their school, The cadets were surrounded and arrested by British troops. Yesterday the Egyptian Railway batallion made a demonstration af- ter which the Egyptian soldiers were confined to their barracks from which they attempted to escape, When they attucked the British troops with bricks and other missles, the British soldiers fired on them, causing. 19 casualties. A minor demonstration ut Port Sudan was dispersed without trouble. The disturbances in the Sudan are likely to have a disquieting political effect on the forth tions in London with said Zagloul Pasha, the Egyptian premier, accord- ing to officials. The officials assert there is no thought of the British government giving up its rights to the Sudan and that demonstrations such as those reported will only make more difficult the establishment of the Sudan status in relation to Egypt and Great Britain.

S. Hulbert, last of the defense alienists, in the Franks hearing this morning, laying its ground for introduction of its re- buttal testimony. In preparation for the introduc- tion of Dr. Rollin Woodyatt, an ex- pert on endocrinology, Robert E. Crowe, states attorney, renewed his attack on the theory of functional disorders of the endocrine gland, as set up by Dr. Hulbert, Chicago psychiatrist, as responsible for the “mental sickness” of Nathan Leo- pold Jr. and Richard Loeb, which permitted them to kidnap and slay Bobby Franks, Dr. Hulbert, four days on the witness stand, testified that persons suffering from endocrine diseases are failures-in life and so denom- inated Leopold. He also testified under questioning by Mr. Crowe that there was no recognized leader in the study of endocrinology in Am- erica, The defense would require ap- proximately 45 minutes for its wit- s remaining after Dr. Hulbert, as indicated, and the moment of Testing of its case depended on how much longer Mr. Crowe kept Dr. Hulbert under cross examination. Occurred in War The state’s attorney renewed his attack on the theory of functional orders of the endo¢rine gland as Manca by Dr. Hulbert as a reason for the mental state of the defend- ants which permitted them to com- mit the murder of Bobby Franks. “Might not the lower sugar toler- ant bg an evidence of emotion?” Mr. [Crowé asked. “Na, not in this case,” replied Dr. ulbert. “What is the significance of en- docrine disease?” asked the states attorney, “We find in such persons @ ten- dency to faint. With poor circula- tion in the brain most such persons are failures in life in competition with others,” was the reply. “Is that true of Leopold?” Mr. Crowe. “Yes, he is a failure in life,” the witness. “It occurred quite frequently in the war didn't it?” asked Mr. Crowe. “Yes, it afflicted some 30/900,” Hulbert. Dr. Hulbert said there was man in America he regarded as superior to another as an authority on endocrinology.

WARN AGAINST CUTTING RUSTY WHEAT EARLY Early cutting of rusted wheat should not be practiced as it reduces the yield, is the warning issued to farmers of the state by staff mem- bers of the Experiment station at the North Dakota Agricultural col- lege. “Effect of early cutting of rusted wheat ‘has been determined in ex- periments conducted at the Exper- iment statién at ‘the Agficultural college and ‘the Stibstation at Dick- inson,” is the report of Director P. F. Trowbridge. “Samples have been cut while the grain was in the soft dough stage, cutting at intervals of two or three days. The weight of grain per bushel increases with the ripening of the grain, even thougi: the rust infection was continuously increasing. “Baking tests of flour made from badly rusted grain cut éarly and cut at normal harvest time show slight- ly superior qualities for the grain harvested. at the normal time. It would seem that the early cutting of wheat could not be justified from the view point of attempting to avoid damage from hail storms or insects.” CRAIG RELEASE FAILS AG.

FINAL PROBLEM London, Aug. 12.—The repara- tions conference has finally shaken itself down to the basic question of the Ruhr evacuation and the leaders are attempting in private interviews to effect a settlement of this acute political problem; which really is not on-the agenda of the conference. 5 M. Herriot, French premier, had a pene interview yesterday with Stresemann, German foreign Chancellor Marx and Dr. Stresemann called on M. Theunis, Belgian premier, and the leading German delegates also conferred with Ramsay MacDonald, British prime minister. Much to Settle Yet While ‘M. Herriot is supposed to we returned from Paris with au- ; thority to agree to the Ruhr evacu- ation within 11 months, the ques- tion of when evacuation will begin and the details of its execution, in- cluding the desire of the French and Belgians to keep their nation- als on the railways, must be set- tled among the French, Belgians, English and Germans _ before the conference can proceed in a definite way with the program for institut- "' ang the Dawes plan. * Reports from all three commit- tees rot the conference have been agreed to in principle, but the jur- ists are busy studying and editing the protocols which are not yet in final form. The opinion now seems general in conference circles that the outcome will be definitely set- tled by Thursday or Friday, and the majority opinion is decidedly optimistic respecting the r the results.
