D., Oct. 18.—Sus- pended from the limb of an apple tree on the old Lenneville farm jus south of the city by a bit of si cord the body of Mrs. Rudolph Frank, 55, who disappeared from her home in South Dickinson a week ago Tuesday, was found late Saturday afternoon by two boys as they start- ed'out on a hunting trip. ‘the dis- covery of the body, which in the opinion of Coroner A. D, Davis and his jury, had hung exposed to the weather for several days, ended a four day frantic search on the part of relatives and county officials for the woman who had mysteriously disappeared from her home and had failed to return.

As a direct result of the large northwest grain crop moving to mar- kets, sustained by the new European. buying power arising from the set- tlement under the Dawes reparations plan, deposits of member banks with the Federal Reserve Bank at Minnea- polis, in two weeks, made remarkable gain in the history of the institution, the weekly balance sheet of the Minneapolis Federal Reserve Bank today showed. Deposits “of the nearly 1,000 member banks’ with the federal bank were $57,013,317. Two weeks ago, the statement showed, the figure as $49,469,390, Means $100,000,000 Gain A $7,000,000 gain at the “federal” means a $100,000,000 gain in deposits in member banks, according to the ratio reckoned at the bank. More- over, there are 2,200 banks in the ninth reserve district which are not members of the Minneapolis Federal Reserve Bank. Therefore, the gain in reality is greater than $100,000,000 according to Minneapolis bankers. Twin City banks must keep 10 per cent of their demand deposits and 3 per cent of their time deposits in the Minneapolis Federal Reserve Bank. Other member banks in the district must keep 7 per cent of their demand deposits and 3 per cent of their time on redeposit in the “federal.” Due Wholly to Grain Movement Bankers said that the bulge wholly is due to the marketing of the grain crop and that the extraordinary size of it is due to the unusually large crop and the export demand that 1s buoying prices. The deposit figure of the Minnea-~ polis Pederal Reserve bank ordinarily changes slowly. It shows slight fluc- tuations. From Jan, 1, 1922 to Jan. 1 the deposit figure climbed from $42,000,000 to $46,000,000, smal! er gain in 12 months than in the last two weeks. On July , the figure wa August 27, $46.976,120- September 24, $50,129,711; October 1, ; October 8, $61,212,951, and October 15, $57,012,317, Reduction in Loans ¢ comparison of the figures of the corresponding period a year shows no such leap as in the last two weeks, and so illustrates how steady ofdinar is this “redeposit’ figure. For August 29, 1924, the fie- ure was $46,639,000; September 26, $46,759,000; October 3, $48,101,000; October 10, $47,846,000, and October 17, $46,468,000. Deposits in Minneapolis banks were shown by the last response to the call of the controller to have risen $50,000,000 over a year ago, \ With the rise in bank deposits from the new crop money, there h come a sharp reduction in outstand- ing loans to member banks. he October 15 statement showed $8,076,- 747 outstanding. 1923, the figure was $29,311,111.

P.)- Fighting between the invading Man- churian forces of General Chang Tso- lin and the armies of the Peking government is being carried on with| such violence and added intensity at Shankhaikwan, that the outcome may decide the winner in the conflict for control of the central Chinese gov- ernment, according to observers. who returned today from the Chihlian- Manchurian front. Both sides are putting forward their best fighting units in the bat- tle front for the important strategic entrances to which is located near the Manchurian-Chih- lian border and is held by central government troops. According to observers, the purpose of the invading Manchurian troops 1s to break through the line at Shank- haikwan before the troops in the Je- hold region, a separated front, be- come a menace to the Manchurian flanking forces. Lines Weakened is also reported that General Chang Tso-lin has been forced to weaken his lines at Jehold and Chi- feng in order to stiffen his attacks around Shankhaikwan. In the latter sector the fighting has been heavier around the villa of Shimenk which has changed hands repeated under the artillery fire of both sides.

GIRL, 19, HELD NOT GUILTY OF KILLING MAN Violet Dickerson, in Court With 4-Months-Old Baby, | Is Given Freedom Philadelphia, Oct. 18.—Violet Dick- rson,, 19-year-old mother, was today equitted of the charge of in the holdup and killing of Louis murder Hirsch, an aged storekeeper, last November. The girl’s case was given to the jury late yesterday and when no ver- dict had been at 9 p.m. Judge McDevitt ordered the jury the night. He said he tion so early in the night out of consideration for the girl and her four-months-old baby. Miss Dickerson took the witness and in the closing hours of her clared that for 12 days prior to the fatal shooting she was under the complete domination, men- tally and physically, of Charley Oef- finger, her companion on the night of the tragedy, who was convieted last December of first degree mur- ; der and sentenced to death for the; killing. It was Oeffinger, she suid, who fired the shot after coercing her to accompany him to Hirseh’s ‘store. In the 12 days that she and Oeffinger occupied a room together, she testified, she was beaten by him, threatened with death and exposure of her approaching motherhood if | she did not stand by him.

BANDITS RAID BANK, ESCAPE Springport, Mich., Oct, 18.—No PROBE REVEALS NO DEMAND FOR MUCH STORAGE Only Few Thousand Bushels of Grain Put in it For Storage RECALLS ‘OLD FIGHT Long Struzgle For Terminal Elevators Within State Reflected in Story The huge elevator storage capacity provided by the state of North Dae kota in connection with the state- owned, state-operated flour mill at Grand Forks has been little used in the period of approximately two years it has been in operation, in- vestigation reveals. The experience of the elevator department of the project has been somewhat lost sight of in the public consideration of the financial history of the pro- ject, attention having been centered upon the mill. The mill and elevator project had its inception in demands for the building of terminal elevators in which farmers might store their grain, and the question of terminal elevators was a factor in North Da- kota politics for many years, The elevator department of the state project was not operated as a unit separate from the mill until April 1, 1924, and in the latest ac- countant’s report to the state board of auditors by O. B. Lund, account- ant, the elevator unit’s operations are covered only for the brief period of three months. On June 30, 1924, the accountant's report shows, the elevator had in storage for persons or firms but 722.20 bushels of spring wheat, 928.30 bushels of durum and 436.52 bushels of flax and other coarse grains. There was no grain stored in the elevator for individuals and then shipped out again to other markets, prior to April 1, 1924, according to Mr. Lund. Plenty of Space Early in October, this year, a statement was made to newspapers that the elevator’s storage business was increasing, probably due to the Duluth embargo, which has since been raised, but stating that there was plenty of sp in the elevator for storage. The sume newspaper dispatch quoted P. A. Lee of the North Dakota Farmers Grain Deal- ers Association as stating that less grain was stored this year than usual, because of prices, ang it 18 nown that state officials do not an- ticipate great use of the elevator this fall. It is understood here that of the grain recently stored one or two carloads were from Minnesota points, The question of the value of ter- minal storage within the state for North Dakota farmers has been de- bated often in North Dakota. Those who have contended that such eleva- tors were unne ry hold that the two-yeurs’ experience. of the state elevator at Grand Forks shows that the state-owned project is not desir- ed by the farmers. None Before April 1 Mr. Lund, whose duty it was as an accountant for the state board of au- ditors, under the law, to provide in- formation for the public regarding its state elevator and mill, also was state superviser of grains and grains at the time the mill opened in 1922. “There was no grain stored in the elevator that was taken in and then shipped out again to market,” said Mr. Lund “That is, no grain was sent to Grand Forks by farmers and stored for a time and then sent to Minneapolis or other markets, All grain held on storage tickets was taken up by the mill eventually. The construction account in the latest audit report shows the cost of the mill and elevator project as $3,044,552.89. Apparently, from the reports, the state has an investment of well over a million dollars in the (Continued on page 8) GIRL SLAIN, HUNT SUITOR Believe That Attacker Com- mitted Suicide Conklin, Mich., Oct, 18.—Early to- day police. who last night guarded this vicinity took up the search for Egbert Dyke, wanted in connection with the fatal attack on Miss Molly Fleming, 23-year-old school teacher.
