If scientific he may have phantasies regarding a scientific discovery.” . Loeb and Leopold sat wifh stolid, unchanging faces as they heard the witness proclaim them sane. Leo- pold rested his elbows on a chair arm and cushioned his, chin with hand. Loeb, hand in his lap, stared at the witness. Occasionally, as has been their habit during the 19 days of the hearing,.the youths held whispered conversations. Leopold’s statement of a feeling of inferiority was perfectly natural, Dr. Patrick said, and cannot be termed an inferiority complex be- cause Leopold actually was inferior in athletics. AGITATION IN SUDAN EXCITES LONDON PAPERS Blame Laid -to Society Aim- ing at the Ousting of Egyptian Rule at : ‘London, Aug. 12.—(By the A. P.)— The London newspapers this morning made a big display of the disturb- ances in the Sudan, which they at- tribute to a conspiracy by interested persons in Egypt, ‘aiming to «oust the British from the Sudan and es- tablish Egyptian rule over it. Agita- tion to this end has been in progress for some months, the mpin organiz- ers being, it is said, the White Flag Society of Cairo, + The editorial writers, while not believing that'the present trouble will necessarily have serious conse- quences, ible regretable delay in settling the Egyptian pro-| blem. . r The latest dispatches ‘from Khar- tum and Cairo state that the actual casualties in the clash at Atbara fed four killed and 15 wounded and that no Egyptian troops were present ind that the troops who fired the Ashot were Sudanese Arabs, acting ap- parently withopt order and under provocation from the ridters. SHE CONFESSES) Helped Emil Zupke, Slayer of : Cora May Raber, Hide the Body, Girl Admits WO HAVE CONFESSED Refusal. to Marry Girl Leads to Slaying in Michigan on Lonely Road Benton Harbor, Mich., Aug. 13.— Florence McKinney, 19-year-old sweetheart of Emil Zupke, confessed slayer of Cora May Raber, ‘has confessed that she witnessed the killing of her rival for Zupke’s af- fection and helped hide the body, ac- cording to Sheriff George Bridg- man. Zupke and the girl occupied ad- joining cells in the county jail to- day. Zupke, the sheriff said, broke down last night and. confessed that he choked Miss Raber, his former sweetheart when she refused to re- lease him from a promise to marry her. He told the sheriff he lured her into Benton Harbor on a prom- ise to. marry her but instead drove her into the country and choked her to death, About an hour after he had con- fessed, the sheriff stated, Miss Mc- Kinney came into his office and voluntarily admitted that she’ was with Zupke when the crime was com- mitted. She said that Zupke came to her house with Miss Raber in his car last Wednesday evening and that the three of them drove to the desolate spot where the slain wo- man’s body was found last Sunday. The murdered woman was soon to have become a mother. She blamed Zupke for her confession. The combined confessions reveal he promised to marry her the Wed- nesday evening she was killed. When Zupke told her he would not marry her, the confession states, he said: “Well, then do something to get me out of this.” ” He started to choke her then, ac- cording to his confession, and con- tinued. for about a mile as the car moved along. DEPOSITORS TO MEET IN CITY A meeting of depositors having money in closed banks of the .state has been called for Bismarck on Sat- urday morning, August 16, by W. E. Dyer, president of the Association of |, Depositors in Closed Banks, it was announced today. The meeting will be held in Patterson hall. The fu- ture of the association will be deter- mined, it is expected. ‘ The chief causes of crime are said to be influence of evil associ- ‘ates, inherited disposition, drink, strong temptation plus favorable op- portunity and poverty. The chapter is unable to provide a watchman day and night for the ca- bin. Many of the acts of vandalism —broken winddws, writing on walls —are probably the acts of children who, the chapter feels, have not been taught the proper veneration for ob-| jeet8: of historical, value, Repaired Building Before the cabin was moved from its location in front of the eupitol to a place behind the,Liberty Me- morial Building, to fit in with a itol park plan as drawn a ago by landscape doors, and repartitioning it to accord with original setting. All this money has virtually been wasted, be- cause vandals have rendered useless h of the expense. The money, too, was raised by dint of hard work and sacrifice by the members of the chapter. They didn’t want to seek public subscriptions, but raised the money themselves. The result has been discouraging to them, The ca- bin had been falling into a sad state when the committee undertook its preservation. The plan of the chapter called for the expenditure of $700 to build a beautiful fence’ around the cabin. By giving a dale, by" giving? titoney out of their, own pockets: and by small donations from one or two other chapters, including the state D, A. R., the women’ raised $385 toward this, Now, with vandals doing dam- age to the cabin, the chapter is fore- ed for the present to abandon this idea and instead put a hog wire and barbed wire fence around it. There will be a gate, but it will be pad- locked and the key left with some responsible party in the capitol, so that tourists may obtain it to get a closer view of the cabin. The local chapter has not given up its elaborate plans for the cabin, al- though they have suffered a setback. They expect yet to plant Badlands cedar trees around it, to get a desk which Roosevelt used at Medora and to fence it, and if the state park plan develops, to have it in a beau- tiful setting. Ask Public Help The D. A. R. ladies hope that the public will assist in the protection of the cabin, There is some doubt as to the wisdom of the cabin being moved where it is, and some dis- agreement over the act. Mrs. E. A. Thorberg of the cabin committee said today that the cabin was moved at the instance of state authorities to fit in with a park scheme while E. G. Wanner, secretary of the board of administration, said it was moved at the request of the D. A. R. chapter. Mrs, F. L, Conklin is regent of the focal chapter, and members of the cabin committee are Mrs. N. 0. Ram- stad, Mrs. -B, K. Skeels, Mrs. P. J. Meyer and Mrs. E, A. Thorberg. Stock Streams in Southwe: E. T.

Numerous In- dependents from the western part of the state preparing to go to the con- ference, appear to believe that the Independents should fill opt a full ticket to oppose the League ticket in November. With two candidates for Governor in the field at this time—A, G. Sor- lie, Republican, indorsed by the Nonpartisan League, and Halvor Halvorson, Democrat—it is held likely here that a new candidate will be placed in the field on an inde- pendent ticket. Sentiment, among the Independents in this section of the state does not appear favorable toward an indorsement of Mr. Hal- vorson, although it is expected that a Democratic conference, to be held in Fargo tomorrow, will urge that he be given united Independent sup- port. ‘A movement has developed here, and reported in capitol circles to have sprung up inother cities of the state, to urge Governor Nestos ta again be a candidate against Mr. Sorlie in the fall. The attitude of the Governor has not been stated publicly, since the matter has not been brought before him by any delegation. He has expressed him- self to some individuals since the June primary as being opposed to being a candidate again for the of- fice. Some friends express belief that he would again enter the lists if “drafted” for the candidacy. The names of L. B, Hanna of Far- go and J. E. Davis of Goodrich also, have been prominently mentioned in political gossip as possible oppon- ents of Mr. Sorlie in the fall elec- tion. i The action of the Nonpartisan League conference, in naming as candidates in the fall election their “| state office candidates who were de- -}feated in the June primary, opens the way for the Independents to do likewise, if they desire, according to some politicians. Another question likely to be tak- en up at the Fargo meeting is that of presidential electors. Since four of the five electors named as Re- publican candidates ran on LaFol- lette “stickers” there is a group of Republicans who favor placing four out-and-out Coolidge electors in the individual column, or demanding that the four LaFollette | electors withdraw from the Republican col- umn and take places under LaFol- lette’s name in the individual col- umn. They pointed out information to the effect that LaFollette elec- toral candidates in Wisconsin, pre- sumably at his request, will not at- tempt to be candidates as Republi- Boateny those from Bismarck ex- pected to attend the Fargo confer- ence are J.

ROBERTS, y , Meteorologist. French, Belgians and Ger- mans Renew Effort to Reach Accord on Ruhr MACDONALD RETIRES British Premier Leaves Rep- resentatives of 3 Nations Fighting It Out London, Aug. 1.3—(By the A. P.)— ‘The conference held by French, Bel- igian and German representatives in Downing street this forenoon in an effort to reach a settlement of the Ruhr evacuation problem ended at 1:30 o'clock without arriving at a solution, adjourning until later in the afternoon. In consequence, the meeting of the council of 14, set for 4 p. m. at which it was hoped the announcement of a settlement would be received, was called off to enable the outside con- versations to be continued. It was announced that the next meeting of the “big fourteen” would be held tomorrow morning. “Today is the most critical day of the conference,” Dr, Marx, the Ger- man chancellor, declared to the news- paper correspondents this afternoon just before going into the 5 o'clock conference with Premier Herriot of France and Premier Theunis of Bel- gium and their French’ and Belgian associates, to regume discussion of the Ruhr evacuation, At 10:30 o'clock this morning, Prime Minister MacDonald turned over the big room at No. 10 Down- ing street’ to Premier Herriot of France, Premier Theunis of Belgium and the two leaders of the German delegation, Chancellor Marx and Prime Minister Stresemann. The British premigr withdrew while at- tempts were being made to hammer out a settlement of the problems of the Ruhr and proposed commercial treaty. The negotiations dragged dis- couragingly. DECISION ON GRAIN RATES 1S MODIFIED} Railroad Commission Orders Into Effect Less Drastic Rate Reductions - ON INTRASTATE GRAIN A decision modifying its previous order in the state intrastate: grain and grain products case was handed down today by the state board of railroad commissioners, ordering in- to effect on September 15 decreases in rates but not as sharp as made in the first order. The decreases made in the wheat and flour rate averages about 15 percent, according to E. M, . Hen- dricks, traffic expert, while other grain and grain products follow closely in proportion. The Midland Continental Railroad ang the North- western line, which operates but two stations in the state, are ex- cepted from the effect of the order. The railroad commission’s juris- diction applies only to products ori- ginating and terminating within the state, this volume, acgprding to the commission order, constituting a small portion of the grain business. The intrastate grain business has been placed at five to 10 percent of the total. Benefit to the North Dakota state mill and other flour mills selling within the state is seen in the order. The commission's first order was issued February 13, 1924, and con- tained sharp reductions, The rail- roud attorneys asked reargument of the case, which was granted. On the reconsideration, the commission finds its first order was too drastic. Special joint line rates which had been provided in the first order were stricken out, to leave the basis of figuring hauls over two railroads the same as at present-the rate be- ing 85 percent of the combined local Yates on each of the two lines, The original order also was modified to allow the Farmers Grain and Ship- ping Company line to be considered separate from the Great Northern for rate-making purposes, and pre-| sent commodity descriptions are per- mitted to continue. The basic rate on wheat, for a 100 mile haul, is ordered decreased from 15 1-2 to. 13 cents; 150 mile haul, 19 to. 15 1-2 cents and 200 mile haul 22 1-2, cents to 18 cents, on’ the princi- i railroad lines.’ In the case of the Milwaukee line the rate ordered into effect is the same as on other lines, but the decrease is greater, ‘since the Milwaukee rate on the pro- ducts has.been higher than other lines. The rates on wheat and flour af- fect numerous other commodities of similar character. . ’ Roman politicians before election, time: used to bathe with the people in public bath-houses. report frost, according to O.

The annual report of the treasurer shows that $961,261.04 was collected during the fiscal year to meet bond interest payments, The total bonded debt of the state, as of July 1, is $20,059,000.00, divided as follows: Old revenue bonds $50,- 000; Bank of North Dakota capital stock bonds, $2,000,000; Mill and El- evator Bonds (construction) $3,000,- 000; Mill and Elevator Milling Bonds, $1,000,000; Real Estate Bonds, the proceeds of which are used in making farm loans, $14,009,- 000.

All the bank bond and mill and elevator interest payments were met from accumu- lations in the fund or taxes. The report shows that $25,083.29 was collected under the Home Build- ing Association Deficit Tax during the year. Collections by the state treasurer were less than payments made dur- ing the fiscal year, but due to a balance on hand at the beginning of the year, his books show a bal- ance as of July 1 of $3,644,110.18. Total collections during the year were $19,235,239.08 while total pay- ments were $19,315,011.36, @ Major disbursements made are for the following departments of gov- ernment: Judiciary, $106,465.19; ad- ministrative departments, $655,- 380.87; Educational Institutions, $2,- 059,235.72; Department of Education, $370,706.08; Charitable and Penal Institutions, $880,368.33.

LEADERS ASSEMBLE FOR COOLIDGE TALK President to State . Party Principles in Accepting The Nomination Washington, Aug. 13, (By the A. P.)—Republican leaders from all parts of the country assembled here today for the exer tcmorrow night at which President Coolidge will be formally notified of his nomination by the Cleveland con- vention. The address of the President ac- cepting the nomination is expected by the party leaders to set forth merely the principals on which the Kepublican campaign will be based, since it was written before John W. Davis, the Democratic nominee, delivered his address at Clarksburg, W. Va., and therefore could not be regarded as a direct reply to the latter’s statements. The President had a light pre- gram today to allow him to spend some time in preparation for de- livery of his address. All members of the naticnal committee as well as Repwblican .. Governors —.and others prominent in party affairs have heen invited to attend the ceremony, RUST DAMAGE IS BELITTLED IN NORTHWEST Crop Survey Indicates Most of the Wheat Has Been Saved From It St. Paul, Aug. 13, (By the A. P.) —Harvest of Minnesota and South Dakota wheat crop is in full swing and that task will be general in North Dakota and Montana next week, with yields in the Dakotas and Montana * universally greater than last year, an uncfficial tele- graphic survey showed. North Dakota’s greatest wheat crop in years is declared virtually safe from rust although in some sections late wheat may suffer damage up to 20 percent, the re- ports said. Taking the state as a whole, and barring unforseen de- velopments, the average damage to spring wheat from rust is not ex- pected to average mcre than 10 per cent. Northwestern North Dakota re- ports ‘that section assured of the “greatest money crop in its his- tory.” Advices from Minot say that late spring wheat is show- ing no materia] damage from rust while other secticns discount re- ports of rust damage and declare that predictions of a fine crop will be verified.

It is impossible to get even an approximate estimate of fatalities, but 50,000 is said to be a conservative estimate, WIDE DEVASTATION Shanghai, Aug. 13—Unusually wide devastation accompanied by great damage has been reported from China on Saturday. Late in July there were serious inundations in the provinces of Kwongsi and Sinkiang. It was reported that the loss of lives had been up to that time comparatively small.

Rear Admiral Thomas Magruder at once called a conference with Lieut. Lowell H. Smith, the flight commander, and Major Crumrine of the Army Air Service, on board the cruiser Richmond. % Reports received from Angmagsa- lik, after a reconnaisance from the Raleigh, stated that the harbor was too small and too nearly filled with floating ice to make it suitable as a safe landing place for the fliers and that it would .be impracticable for them to hop off from it. with a load.
