BUY COAL NOW ADVISESSTATE R.R. OFFICIAL Regional Board Calls Meeting To Consider Problem of Car Shortage NEED CARS FOR WHEAT Milhollan to Attend Meeting To Discuss Coal and i The state Railroad Commission, in op statement issued today by Com- missioner Frank Milhollan, urges the coal consumers of the state to order their coal as soon as possible, and in this way do their share in alleviating the shortage of cars for the transportation of wheat. The fact that the state has an ex- ceptional crop will no doubt cause a Shortage of cars,.said Mr. Milhol- lan, and by getting the shipments of coal out of the way at as early a date as possible this shortage will be considerably lightened. The Commission, according to Mr. f Milhollan, is in receipt of a com munication from the Northwest Re- gional Advisory Board, which is composed of shippers, railroad repre- sentatives, and members of state railroad commissions, calling their serious consideration to the prob- lem presented by the shortage of cars and setting September 8 as the date for a meeting to be held by the Board to further consider the prob- lem. Mr. Milhollan will attend the meeting as the representative of the fame, North Dakota Comission and it is fayossible that the other members of the board will also attend. Labels bearing the name and prin- cipal business or profession of the wearers were a recent innovation at several British society gatherings. yond. THRESHING IS STARTING OVER WESTERN. D. Some Yields Reported, But in Most Places Threshers Are dust Getting to Work PROSPECTS ARE FINE Very Good Yields Reported From Various Sections of - The Missouri Slope Wilton, Aug. 25.—Damp weather with frequent showers has been a handicap to harvesting and threshing operations during the past week here. Favorable weather during the next two weeks will see the completion of the. grain cutting. Some winter wheat has been threshed, the yield being above the average, and the quality No. 1, No severe damage has been suffered from the rust. Mon- day night’s rain has greatly benefit- ed pastures and gardens, as well as late corn, flax and potatoes, BEGIN SOON Fort Yates, Aug. 26.—Threshing will hegin here as soon as the grain has dried sufficiently from the re- cent rains; the crops indicate the best yield this region has had for years. Several of the farmers have purchased new threshing machines to care for the crop. The wind which accompanied the rains here was severe enough to move the barn on the Stiles home here. No other damage was reported, STRUCK BY HAIL Killdeer, Aug. 25.—Territory north west of Grassy Butte was struck by hail, which caused losses of from 20 to 70 percent, as it varied in severity in different places, but the average loss was around ‘25 per cent. The hail struck a limited territory of about five miles in diameter. Ten farms report losses. OATS YIELD REPORTED Linton, Aug. 26—Oats threshed on the farm of William E, Gearing made a return of 27 bushels. The farm is within the city limits of Linton. Many threshiyg ‘machines have be- gun work, the wheat yield averaging about 20 bushéls, with some making a return of 30 bushels, The gluten tests vary materially, though on the average are not so good as those of last year. The color of the wheat is good, and nearly all samples weigh over 60 pounds. Al- though the yield is very heavy, there is a minimum amount of straw. FIRST WHEAT MARKETED Fessenden, Aug. 25.—The first wheat to be’marketed in Wells county of the 1924 crop was delivered at Hamberg by August Affeldt, a farmer from West Norway township, The yield was 15 bushels per acre, test- ing 60 pounds, No. 1 hard grade. The remainder of his 800 acres of crop is expected to make better returns. Mr. Affeldt started his threshing taachine on, August 18. Harvest was slightly delayed last week by the rains, MUCH DAMAGE TO CORN Napoleon, Aug. 26.—Considerable damage was done to the crops ten to fifteen miles east of Napoleon.

Democratic Nominee Always Considered Equal to Elect- ed in State Dallas, Aug. 25.—Mrs. Miriam A. Ferguson, of Temple, wife of former Gov. James E. Ferguson was the democratic nominee of Texas today, returns from Sat- urdays run off primary giving her a victory by a majority of more than 80,000 votes over Ro- hertson of Dallas, endorsed by Ku Klux Klan. Returns tabulated hy the Texas election bureau at 10 last night gave Mrs. Ferguson 403,060; Ro- bertson 374,297 votes. These figures were from 230 of the 252 counties, in the state, 57 being complete. Mrs. Ferguson at Temple re- ceived a telegram yesterday from Robertson congratulating her on the victory. The woman made a statement in which she says that chances for a Democratic victory would be increased manifold if the people could be shown that the Democratic platform condem- nity intolerance, means, as every- body knows it does mean, the greatest good to the people. Dallas, Aug. 25.—Mrs. Miriam Fer- guson, the first woman candidate for governor of Texas and wife of James E, Ferguson, former governor, was nominated at the Democratic primary Saturday, over Felix Robertson of Dallas. Judge Robertson today telegraphed Mrs. Ferguson at her home at Tem- ple: “I sinoerely congratulate you on your victory,” thus conceding his defeat. The Texas election bureau tabula- tion of the vote tonight showed Mrs. Ferguson leading by about 77,000 more than 725,000 ballots counted. The bureau estimated the total vote would be close to 850,000. Reports tonight show it was heavier than at any previous election ever held in Texas. At eight o’clock the bureau figures showed 230 of the 262 counties heard from, 65 reporting complete, and the vote to be, Mrs. Ferguson, 401,520; Robertson, 232,719, A large part of the Democratic par- ty tried today to figure out how it happened that Mrs, Ferguson was nominated, Her supporters were ju- bilant. Her o;{onents mourned. All speculated more or less on whether Texas politics will run true to form and the Democratic nominee will be elected in November without much further @ffort and trouble. Husband Impeached Mrs. Ferguson and her husband, James E. Ferguson, who conducted her campaign, regarded the results of the primary as a big step forward in their fight for vindication of Mr. Ferguson, who was impeached when he was governor. They said they were in the campaign only because of that judgment and because they sought to clear their name for them- selves, their children and grand chil- dren. At no time during the tabulation of the vote by the Texas election bur- eau was Mrs. Ferguson behind, al- though when some of the returns from Dallas, her opponent’s home, and other cities came in, her lead was cut to a small margin. She quickly made up the loss, however, and con- sistently held the first place. Was Anti-Klan Fight STATE'S MILL IS OPERATING AT FULL SPEED Heavy Output at North Da- kota State Mill at Grand Forks Is Shown 1 STILL LOSES, HOWEVER Deficit, According to Board of Managers Report, Is Over $600,000 The North Dakota state-owned, state-operated flour mill at Grand Forks is being operated at capacity in order to create a great output and put the mill on a paying basis, according to deductions made from the cold figures of a report sub- mitted to the board of managers of the institution recently. A copy of the report, by the board of man- agers’ secretary, shows that the mill produced 898,054 barrels of flour in 11 months ending June 30, 1924, an exceptionally heavy output for a mill rated at 3,000 barrels per day capacity. The mill board’s report shows that 2,956,380 bushels hard wheat were used in the manufacture of flour, and 1,195,418 bushels of durum wheat was used during the 11 months period. The mill produced 630,696 barrels of flour from “wheat” and 267,359 from durum. The mill, however, continues to show a deficit, in spite of the steady production. The loss in operating for the 11 months period is given us .225 cents per barrel and the loss on bond interest and depreci- ation is given as .315 cents per bar- rel, This is somewhat less than the average loss per barrel since the flour began operating, the reporting showing the loss per barrel from be- ginning of operation up to June 30, 1924, being 87 cents on each barrel produced, During the month of June the mill losses was shown to be $55,- 173,00 and the loss in the elevator department was $6,538.12.

BANDIT GANG DISCLOSED IN, MINOT ARRESTS Minot, Aug. 25.—Two of a gang of | alleged bandits at present held at city and county jails in Minot, may be attributed participation in nearly a score of North Dakota bank rob-| beries, a half dozen post office burg-| Jaries and the looting of many gen- eral merchandise stores, and other} places of business. Authorities a serted today, as they continued the} piecing together of evidence which will be used in the prosecution. Offi- cials unite in asserting that at | four and probably e of the s men now held in custody following the discovery of $4,000 worth of loot on a farm south west of Minot late Friday, will be prosecuted either in| the state or federal court or possibly in both judicial agencies. The basis of operation for the gang was the farm here near Grady, occu- pied by James Reilly, himself an ex- convict, according to the authorities, who has served time in the lowa state penitentiary for thievery. Robberies dating back as far as! two years ago may be attributed to some of the men now in custody it is alleged. The nature of formal charges to} be filed against those members of the sextet now held in jail will be determined late tonight following the arrival from Fargo of W. C. Green. Assistant U. S. Attorney, who will immediately go into conference with Ward county authorities, Federal postal inspectors who have, been working with local county official are positive that federal charges will be filed against some of the men, NO DECISION ON BALLOT SAYS VOGEL F.

States Attorney Crowe expected to start his clqsing address late today. He based his plea upon heredity and environment. The weird mad act of these boys was only mentioned incidentally as Dar- row went back of the crime itself to trace the influences that surrounded the boys and lead up to the murder. Wealth, he declared, had been the Breat handicap throughout the case. In speaking of Loeb he referred to him as “Dickie”. Hé declared that the youth’s phantasy was to com- mit the perfect crime and that it was superimposed upon his brain and grew there like a hot house plant. The parents of this boy he said “might have done better by him if they had not been wealthy. Nature is strong and pitiless and works in its own mysterious way its wonders to perform.” He drew audible comment fzom his “Congress- men, judges, lawyers, yes even states attorneys have in their youth done something that was Wrong and that they were not found out is there own fortune, He quoted from Paul's epis! “When I was a child, I thought as a ehild, spoke as a child, but when I became a man I put away childish things.” > “That was written 20 centuries ago,” he said, “but let us not forget its great lesson.” The youthful slayers of Robert Franks were admitted by every alienist who examined them ‘to be without emotional reaction, a direct- ing force in the mind of any normal person, with the exception of one physician “who sells service for cash and peddles perjury,” Clarence S. Darrow, bulwark of counsel defend- ing Richard Loeb and Nathan F. Leopold, Jr., charged in pleading mercy for them before Judge John R. Caverly. “Every one of the psychiatrists on both sides of this case told the court that emotion furnished the urge and drive in life, that is, with one exception, Dr. William O. Krohn, who is not an alienist, but an ora- tor,” Mr. Darrow declared. “Dr. Krohn, testifying for the state, said they did have it; his short oppor- tunity for examining them was ‘fine,’ although the others said it was not. “But Dr, Krohn is not a physician. His license has been employed to professionally go in and out of courts slaying his victims without regard to their age or sex or cir- cumstances. Dr. Krohn for 16 years has been peddling perjury and we all know it.” Will Finish Today Mr. Darrow closed a straight two- hour address with this parting shot. Mr. Darrow swerved from his re- sumed argument that the boys were moved by no motive but were pur- Pposeless, senseless and childish in killing Franks. For the final quar- ter of un hour, he poured a stream of critical, personal and sarcastic eloquence upon Dr. Krohn, who has been described as the “ace” of the state’s corps of alienists. Mr. Dar- row said he will end his argument today, “whether I am through or not.” The ‘aged but vibrant leader of half a thousand legal battles, again held a crowded courtroom tense un- der the spell of his thoughts and words. He talked straight through the half holiday session, scarcely pausing for breath. With equal attention, Loeb and Leopold and their relatives followed the argument. Loeb in particular kept his eyes riveted on the slightly stooped man in the baggy gray suit whose brain and tongue were busy in trying to save him from the gal- lows. Leopold sat tense and motion- jess. The boys showed no trace of the emotionalism which on Friday sent them tremulous and tearful from the courtroom. But there was little in Saturday's proceedings to arouse such feelings in them. Proceeding with his argument that the crime was “so senseless as to be the possible product of only a diseased mind,” Mr. Darrow pointed out to Judge Caverly that each de- tail of the killing, the disposition ‘of the body, and the action after- wards, took place under conditions that showed lack of mental balance. He emphasized particularly that the kidnaping and killing occurred in the very neighborhood of the boys’ homes, where they were known to Tost any one that might pass. He also stressed the drive of the death car about the busy south side boule- vards in broad daylight and that they followed the main arteries of travel to the section where they dis- Buffalo, N.

For a time the large storage tanks of the Dacotah Oil company and the yards of the Murphy Lumber Cc., were in danger but the hard work of the fire department and citizens stop- ped the further spread of flames. The injured are: H. P. Lenten, manager of the Sinclair Oil company branch here, who was paintony burned about the head. His condition is not con- sidered serious. Neil Colgar, struck in the head by flying timbers. He may be fatally injured. Julius Olund, less seriously hurt by flying deb: The Sinclair Oil company plant is a tctal loss, and five residences in the immediate vicinity of the branch are also. wrecked by the flames, The explosion was caused by a spark from an electric pumping motor in the warehouse while a de- livery tank was being filled. Man- ager Lenten saw the sparks and jumped for the door but was caught | y the explosion and hurled} through the door. His head, face, arms and legs were badly burned but his recovery is declared cer- tain. The blast put fire to the two large storage tanks and these ex- ploded, hurling the burning gas- oline for blocks around, as well as pieces of timber and other parts of the plant. The burning oil flowed in the gutters and attempts to ex- tinguish the flames were futile. Flames from the burning storage tanks lighted the territory for miles around on Saturday night, but the fire had been extinguish- ed in all places excepting in the tanks. The first . explosion occurred about 3 p.m. A large crowd soon gathered and there were a number of narrow escapes from serious in- jury as the burning oil was hurtled through the air and flowed in the street. One kerosene tank was blown 200 feet across the street. The two storage tanks contained about 25,000 gallons of gasoline. Hundreds of barrels of kerosene provided additional food for the flames, as well as large quantities of lubricating oils and greases. For a time it looked as if the Dacotah Oil company plant and the Murphy Lumber company yards were beyond rescue. Five dwell- ings were soon in flames. One woman was carried from one of the burning houses on a_ stretcher. Most of the contents of the burn- This is declared te be the big- gest fire in the history of James- town. The loss on the oil plant was estimated at $20,000 and the homes $30,000, partially covered by insurance.

D., Aug. 25.—Thomas Suchla of Jamestown was found dead in a boxcar here Saturday morning. Bullets from |a .82 calibre revolver had caus: led the death. Suchla was supposed to have been murdered by two men who had previously held up a camp- ing party near Leith. They had se- cured $30 from the campers, and had then driven away in a car. An auto containing two men who are suspected of being the assailants, was seen near the box car early Sat- urday morning by five young men who drove by. The young men notic- ed the auto, their attention being first called by the intermittent flash- ing of a small flash light and later by the car, believed to be a Maxwell. The boys got a close view of the two men and described one of ther? as being tall, about six feet, and the other as being about five feet six inches. It was before daylight when the young men drove by. His wife’ and brother arrived in Elgin Sunday and identified the body.

Baly, after the poker game in which ‘Frenchy’ had beat- en him, started from the room in which they had been playing but turned back and let the other three players leave first. When he again came from the room he was several yards behind the three others. As soon as all four of them had reached the street, with Baly still in the rear, a shot was heard and the Frenchman fell to the ground. He lived for about a minute but the other two who were walking with him didn’t talk to him. He was shot twice with a .45 calibre auto- matic revolver. The sheriff was called im- mediately but Baly had got a good fifteen minutes start be- | fore he arrived. A search re- | sulted in no clues other than foot prints leading through a corn field so the prison blood- hounds were called for. They {found the trail and followed it through the cornfield and a short distance further but then lost it. No other clues remain but the posse is still conducting its search. The bloodhounds which were secured from the prison have not been returned as yet, according to Warden Lee, who was called about five o’clock Sunday morning by Sheriff George W. Sears, with a request that blood- hounds be sent to Ellendale to aid in the search. Both parties in the murder were Ellendale men, accord- ing to the reports. The as- sailant had lived in town for about two years. Secretary Wilbur At Jamestown Tuesday Noon Jamestown, Aug. 25.—Secretary of the Navy, Curtis D.
