STORE NEW PROBLEMS IN POLITICS \ ARE EVOLVED Week-End Conference in Bis- marck Increase National Political Tension THE PLAN OF RECALL Takes Over 57,000 Names To Gain Recall Election on Three Judges Increased tension in national poli- tics in the state, renewed pressure on A, Sorlie, Nonpartisan League candidate for Governor by LaFollette forces, and the prospect of a recall election at the time of the November general election on three judges of the supreme court, evolved from week-end political meetings in this city, + The mectings failed to clarify the situation with respect to presidential electors, although action taken is likely to make it advantageous to La- Follette forces to have the four Re- publican electoral candidates who are LaFollette men, to resign from the Republican column, The LaFollette group, however, failed to take any gction which would clarify, the sit- uation which confronted the Inde- pendent Republicans. in their confer- ence at Fargo last week. Features of Conferences Outstanding features of the week- end conferences are: * Movement in itors of Closed Banks to re- s Sveinbjorn Johnson, W. le and L. E. Birdzell of the supreme court. Naming of F. A. Vogel of Colehar- bor as LuFollette campaign manager and appointment of a committee with representatives of various factions on it. Further linking of Nonpartisan League with LaoFllette movement, in spite of the attitude of A. G, Sorlie, League candidate for Governor. Decision of the Nonpartisan Lea- gue executive committee to revert to its old basis, with a salaried cam- ign manager, the result of continu- ed differences in the League executive committee, ~ Postponement of efforts of LaFol- lette group to establish new political party, with name satisfactory to him, but different from Farmer-Labor or Nonpartisan League Party, until call- ing of convention, probably on Labor Day. LaFollette electors to be named at the same time, League Differences It is no secret among Nonpartisans that old and new differences have cropped out in their organization. The motion of N, H. Dimond of Grand Forks who has been a lieutenant of A. Sorlie, that LaFollette electors aiid League candidates unsuccessful in the Republican primary, be named on a new party ticket, was regarded as an undercurrent of the effect to force Sorlie into a declaration of sup- port for some candidate for President. While the LaFollette organization named a committee, composed of Wil- ‘liam Langer, William Lemke, F. O. Hellstrom, L. J. Wehe and Dr. L. S. Platou, to investigate the situation and see if a new party column can be obtained on the November election ballot, this generally is regarded by those familiar with party affairs in the state as being impossible of ful- fillment. The LaFollette electors and League candidates will have to go in the “individual nominations column,” it is held, The LaFollette campaign committee is as follow: F, A. Vogel, Colehar- bor, chairman; Simon Nagel, “I. V. A. Republican”; R. H. Walker, Farmer- Labor; Ralph Ingerson, Nonpartisan; Marmer Cook, Railway Employes; Mrs. C. A. Fisher, Nonpartisan Wo- man’s Clubs; Wm, Langer, Hiram Johnson primary committee; Albert Waddington, Coal Miners; Dr. L. S. Platou, “progressive Democrat.” One other member, to represent the ‘American Legion, is to be named. The Recall Plan The Association of Depositors of Closed Banks in the state, of which cee E, Dyer of Slope County is head, eld a meeting entirely separate from the LaFollette meeting, but many of those at the LaFollette meeting drifted into it, and took part in dis- cussions, f The meeting had been called, Mr. Dyer declared, with no particular pro- gram before it, but to consider the ~situation growing out of the supreme court's decision upholding Secretary of State Hall to the effect that peti- tions filed for a vote on a constitu- tional amendment providing a bond issue of $6,000,000 and other means to aid depositors of closed banks. Fiery speeches resulted in the pass- age of a resolution to. recall “the three most recently elected” judges of the supreme court, who are Jus- tices Nuessle, Birdzell and Johnson. ‘An amendment to include the name of Judge A. M. Christianson failed; Wil- liam Lemke, D. H.

R. Shortridge of Flasher was to have e\ Uncen here this afternoon on a charge of having performed a crim- inal operation on a woman giving her name as Miss Alice Marshall, aged 23, of Lemmon, South Dakota. Her occupation, she said, was that of a school teacher, Shortridge’s arrest on this cnarge followed an examination conducted by Dr. A. A, Whittemore, state health officer, who, asserted positively that a criminal operation had been per- formed, and First Assistant Attor- ney-General John Thorpe said that the girl had confessed to him and Dr. Whittemore that Dr. Shortridge had performed the operation, Shortridge, who is now under $6,000 bond for appearance in Stark county at the November term of court to answer a charge of second degree murder in connection with ¢he death! of Mrs. Angela Holta of Bismarex, was tried Saturday afternoon on a charge of having registered at the Standing Rock Hotel under a fic tious name, found guilty by a justice of the peace, fined 350 and sentenced to 15 days in jail, He gave notice of appeal. While Dr. Shortage was being held on this and a statutory charge, Mr. Thorpe, Dr. Whittemore, States At- torney L. H. Connelly of Morton county and States Attorney George Purchase of Sioux county, were con- ducting an examination of the case. Dr, Shortridge, according to Mr. it Coolidge that he was nominated. 1 months Thorpe, had registered with the girl as William Roberts and wife on Thursday night, was called in the country to answer a call, and on Fri- day night performed an abortion. The girl, he said, made a complete confession, The girl said she camo from Lemmon, South Dakota, to Flasher but that Dr. Shortridge in- sisted they go to Ft. Yates. The girl is said not to be in ser- ious condition. Officials suspect she gave an assumed name. Shafer Aids Attorney-General George Shafer is in close touch with proceedings here. The Attorney-General promptly threw the whole force of his office behind the prosecution when ap- pealed to by States Attorney Pur- chase. J. M.

ONLY PARACHUTE JUMPING DOG DIES; ANOTHER SENTENCED TO PENITENTIARY Denver, Colo., Aug. 18.—“Jack” the world’s only parachute jumping dog, as the program read had cata- pulted from the cockpit of a soar- -ing airplane 100 times’ and each time the opening parachute had stayed his plunge with a quick up- take, while thousands of spectators wildly cheered the act. Yesterday at the 120th observ: tion air circus here, “Jack” did his stuff for the '101st time. But the little’ performer will act no more. For Jack’s parachute failed to op- en and he fell 3,000 feet, straight -as a planet falls. It was said Jack was the only dog who has met his death in that fashion, As much as is possible military rites will be accorded him, for the birdmen regarded him as one of their number, and will see that his honor and memory is pre- served, even to the sounding of taps over his grave.

EXPECTFRENCH, GERMANS WILL ACCEPT PARLEY Keichstag and French Parlia- ment Both Expected to Ratify London Conference SPEED TO BE SOUGHT London Newspapers Optim- istic Over Situation—Seen Great Step for Europe BEGIN EVACUATION Strasbourg, Alsace, France, Aug. 18.—French troops began the evacuation of Ossenbourg and Appenweir this morning and it was expected that they would be entirely out of the German towns sometime tonight. HERRIOT CHEERED Paris, Aug. 18.—Premier Her- riot came back from London to- day like a conquering hero. At the Gare St. Lazare he was | cheered as no premier had been cheered for years by a crowd of many thousands. London, Aug. 18—Prime Minister Ramsay MacDonald today sent let- ters to Premier Herriot and Premier Theunis of Belgium, urging — tha’ France and Belgium take every possible step to evacuate the Ruhr in less than the one year agreed upon at the conference. “In the opinion of the British rnment,” said the Prime Min- “continued occupation; (may prejudice and jeopardize the ar- rangements agreed to at the London conference, London, Aug. 18—-The program for launching the Dawes reparation plan, initiated by the delegates to the international conference which closed here Saturday, now goes before the French parliament and the German Reichstag for action. Prospects a favorable for its adoption by both according to dispatches from capitals. Nationalists in Germany, as was expected, are leading the oppo- ition to the program but it is de- ae they will scarcely go so far as #@ adopt. a parliamentary attitude which would result in defeat of the government, dissolufion ‘pf the Reichstag and new elections, in which they could not hope to better their position. Paris advices are that the French parliament has practically decided to sustain the foreign policy of Pre- mier Herriot for the time being. There is likely to be an extensive debate with pointed interpellations but mo determined drive against M. Herriot’s part in the London agree- ment is expected. It is hoped that the ratification will be forthcoming within the next fortnight so that representatives of all the interested powers can re- assemble here on August 30 for for- mal signature to the agreement. SLIGHT MacDONALD London, Aug, 18.—The results of the London conference are criticized favorably by most of the London morning newspapers as the begin- ning of the process of restoring or- der in Europe. As the Westminster Gazette puts it “an ugly corner has been turned with perhaps sufficient impetus and a sufficient margin of safety to carry European countries safely through the years of read- justment.” With the exception of the Labor Party organ, The Herald, the papers withhold from Ramsay MacDonald personal credit for the successful outcome but it is generally acknowl- edged that his position and that of his party has been greatly strength- ened. ban There is a tone of great optimism for the future expressed by the in- terest shown by the United States in the London meeting and because of the certainty of America’s direct sympathy in the successful carrying out of the Dawes plan. i The only disquieting note is sound- ed by the Daily Mail which, under the heading “No More Surrenders expressed skepticism as to the ad- visability of the allies pledging a loan to Germany. It asserts that the Germans, who ate said to have hordes of money outside Germany, should be called upon to provide the funds for the loan. HARVEST HAND MEETS DEATH Mandan, N. D., Aug. 18.—T. 0. Partridge of Seattle, Washington, met death Saturday night at Halli- day from suffocation, He came to Halliday Saturday night and ‘went to the city hall to get a night’s rest. He went into an unlocked cell. Early Sunday morning passers-by saw smoke and found that the bedding was afire, The smoke had suffo- cated him, and he was dead when found. He leaves a widow and daughter at Seattle. Partridge had been working in harvest fields. Members of Parliament who are absent from the House of Commons without the speaker's permission are still liable, under a law of the time of Henry VIII, to lose their pay.

CEREMONY FOR GOV. BRYAN TO BE HELD TODAY Yice-Presidential Candidate to Be Officially Notified at Lincoln 10,000 ARE EXPECTED Lincoln, Neb., Aug. 18.—(By the A. P.)—Governor Charles W. Bryan tonight will receive the highest hot- or of his political career in the city where he has spent more than half his life—the formal notification of his nomination for the vice-presi- dency by the Democratic party. Lincoln was in gala attire for the occasion, banners, flags and bunting being displayed. Hundreds of dele- gates and visitors from nearby cities and towns made their way here by auto, Additional hundreds, including many members of the official notifi- cation committee, arrived on early trains and taxed hotel facilities. Governor Bryan early in the day went over his last-minute details of | the program of the ceremony with members of the notification commit- tee and later conferred with Clem Shaver, chairman of the Democratic ; national committee, regarding his campaign itinerary. While it has not been stated officially when his stump- ing tour will start it is understood the Governor will not leave the state capitol for any length of time before September 1. Exercises, which start at 8 p. m.| central time, will be held in the Uni- versity of Nebraska stadium, capable of seating 40,000 people, and it is ex- pected the stands will be filled. BOY KILLED INRUNAWAY Father Badly Injured on Farm Near Mandan Mandan, N, D., Aug. 18.—George Soucy, 13 years old, was killed and his father, Joseph Soucy was per- haps fatally injured when a team hitched to a header-box wagon, be- came frightened and ran away on their farm home south of Mandan this morning. The boy was thrown from the wagon and instantly killed and the father was badly injured when he attempted to stop the team. PIKE LOSES TRIAL DEMAND St. Paul, Minn., Aug. 18.—Fred A. Pike, formér chairman of the farmer- labor state central committee, was denied a new trial in his $10,000 suit against the Bank of North Dakota, by a decision filed by District Judge John W. Boerner. Pike sued the bank for attorney fees, anda verdict was directed against him, The motion for a new trial, on which a decision was filed today, was argued July 7. Pike pro- bably will appeal to the supreme court. over 30 bushels and barley over 40 “LT saw absolutely no rust damage e the harvest will be general next in North Dakota, I have found no North year, Mr. Quamme happy combin- ation” of good crops and good pric for hogs, cattle, sheep, wool and all agricultural products. There is suf- ficient feed produced to last the state for two years at least, so much feed that all of it cannot be cut, he said. The corn situation ig not good, in the opinion of Mr. Quamme, but it is not such that the state need worry much about it. Frost damaged corn very badly in an area extending from five miles west of Valley City to 20 miles west of Jamestown, in the Jim River Valley, he said. How far north and south in the valley this extend- ed he is not certain, but does not be- lieve the killing frost went north of Stutsman county. He also expressed’ some alarm over the condition of flax in the same territory, though flax, generally, was in excellent con- dition, he said, Sees Price Gains The statistical position of all grains is such that present prices ought to hold, and perhaps ine: he said. North Dakota he found ¢ tremely fortunate in having fine crops when the world crop conditions are so poor that prices are forced to a high level. The shortage of corn, he said, will foree the use of much oats and barley for feed, and this ought to keep up the demand and price for them, he said. There is, he said, a tremendous world shortuge of corn; although the flax crop this year is large the United States is not raising enough to meet the domestic demand; bad crops in many large producing areas of the world have forced wheat prices up. “We expect present prices not only to be maintained but expect them to go higher,” he said. “There are fun- damental reasons for increases.” Lessons of Year Two lessons may be drawn from this year’s experience, Mr. Quamme j asserted—good farming pays and di- | versified farming is the state's sulva- tion. he value of diversified farming has never been so clearly demonstrat- ed as this year, in North Dakota,” said Mr. Quamme. “Diversification means rotation of crops, fall plow- | ing, summer fallowing, cleans up the | land. If something had happened to the North Dakota wheat crop this year it would not have knocked us flat—we had diversified products to depend upon. The lesson of good |farming ought not to be forgotten. Everywhere I have gone I have found that where grain was put in ri where good farming was prac the farmer will profit.” From the standpoint of the Federal Land Bank Mr. Quamme is very op- timistic. In spite of difficulties of the last few years, North Dakota bor- rowers from the bank have kept up their payments in a remarkably grat- ifying fashion, since the bank began | to do business eight years ago, he said.

RAIDED, $2,000 VALUE OF LOOT All Bolts of Silk and Silk Hose Are Taken by the Bandits There GARAGE SAFE BLOWN Little Obtained in Looting at Hague — Gasoline Sta- tions Robbed (Special to the Tribune) Linton, Aug. 18.—Robber bands plundered in Emmons county Sun- day night, stealing $2,000 worth of silks and other goods in The Lin- ton Leadeg.store, blowing a safe at Hagué.and committing other depredations. It was robbery on a wholesale scale. The operations included: Theft at the Linton Leader store, owned by Gottlieb Bech- tle, of all the bolts of silk, a ladies hose, all men’s silk hose, about 12 suits of clothes, many overcoats, all high-priced men’s shoes. Blowing of safe in garage at Hague, theft of about $15. Entering another store at Hague, where suit was stolen. Theft of gasoline at Stand- ard Oil stations‘at Linton and Hazelton. Word had been broadcast but no trace of the robbers found at noon today, according to States Attor- ney Charles Coventry. Different bands are believed involved. The Linton Leader store was entered by breaking a panel in a re door and slipping the bolt which held the door fast. The loot evidently was placed in an auto- mobile. No one heard the robbers and the robbery was not discovered until the store was opened this morning, according to Mr. Coven- try. No one has been found who heard the blowing of the safe in the Hague Motor Company’s garage at Hague, according to Mr. Coventry. But about $15 was obtained. Auto- mobile men there, who saw tracks made by tires, said one of the tires was a Goodyear cord and the other three cords of a different make. Ancther store was entered in ‘Hague, the states attorney said, but the safe was open, and the only thing said to have been stolen was a suit of clothes. Robbers also stole gasoline at the oil distributing points at Hazelton and Linton, but how much was not certai is not the first robbery of is kind,” said Mr. Coventry. “Silks have been stolen at a dozen stores in this section in the last year or so. Pollock was cleaned up twice, and Hague, Wishek, Brad- dock and Hazelton stores have been entered in the last year or so. “It seems to me that the state ought to be able to trace the dis- position of these silks. They sure- ev are sold some place by the rob- ers, COOLIDGE IS CHEERED OVER PARLEY RESULT President, on Vermont Farm, Sees London Conference Big Forward Step Plymouth, Vt., Aug. 18.—(By the A.
