P. CURTIS’ NAMED LEADER Kansas Senator to Take Posi- tion made Vacant by the Death of Lodge ‘ Washington, Nov. 28.—(By the A. P.)—Senator Robert M. LaFollette and three of his principal supporters in the senate practically were read out of the party today at a confer- ence of senate republicans. The conference adopted a resolu- | tion by Senator Reed of Pennsylvania under which Mr, LaFollette, Sena- tors Ladd and Frazier of North Da- kota and Brookhart of Iowa will no longer be given Republican places on |° senate committees or be invited to attend future party conferences, The Reed resolution read: “Resolved, that it be the sense of the conference that Senators LaFol- lette, Ladd, Brookhart and Frazier be not invited to future conferences and be not named to fill any Repub: lican vacancies on senate commit- tees.” The resolution will not disturb present committee assignments, Re- publican leaders said, but will serve as an expression of the view of the conference to be considered by the committee on committees when the question of. filling vacancies comes up. Separate viva voce votes were ta- ken on each section of the resolu- tion and the majority was over- whelming in each cage, with only two or three voices raised in opposition. There were no speeches in opposition but Senator Herald, Oklahoma, sug- gested certain modifications which were disapproved. Senator Spencer of Missouri moved the appointment of a committee to suggest ways and means of accom- plishing the same purpose sought in ‘the resolution, but the conference adopted the Reed resolution as the preferred alternative. Modification Refused Senator Harreld’s proposal was to so modify the resolution as to name only Senator LaFollette. The pro- posal met with instant, extensive op- position and finally was rejected. Senator Howell of Nebraska also objected to the resolution. Thirty-two of the 61 Republicans of the senate attended the confer- ence. Senator Ladd of North Dakota was the only one of the insurgent group present. Senators LaFollette, Brookhart, Frazier and Norris were abs The question first was raised by Senator Edge of New Jersey, who told his colleagues that Republican senators faced a responsibility in the matter to the country, to the party, and to themselves, which could not be shirked. MESSAGE NEXT WEEK Washington, Nov. 28,—President Coolidge’s message to Congress will be read next Wednesday, it was agreed today at a conference between the Erotigs lent and Republican house leaders. The plan was made on the understanding that the Senate would adjourn Monday until Wednesday. CURTIS CHOSEN Washington, Nov. 28.—(By the A. P.)—Charles Curtis, seniot from Kansas, was selected today as successor to the late Henry Cabot Lodge of Massachusetts as the Re- publican leader in the Senate, Senator James E. Watson of In- diana was ‘elected vice-chairman and party “whip,” a post which has been held by Senator Curtis since the Re- publicans gained control of the Con- gress in 1918. o¢———_- | Weather Report me For 24 hours hep at noon, Temperature at Highest yesterday ... senator a BANDITS.

Sorlie, as incoming Gov- ernor, both are expected to deliver addresses to the legislature, accord- ing to custom, probably on separate days. At the last session of the leg- islature, the solons listened to but one address, since Governor Nestos already was in office, and for part of the incumbency of Lynn J. Frazier there was no retiring Governor to give a message as well as an incom- ing Governor. The legislature, it is provided, shall meet on the first Tuesday in January, and the date for the coming session falls on January 6, an un- usually late date in January for the legislature to convene for its bien- nial grind of 60 days. Uncertainty as to the recommenda- tions which may be made by A, G. Sorlie, Governor-elect, and the fact that political control of the legisla- ture may be divided, leaves forcast- ers somewhat at a loss in making early predictions of outstanding questioris to come before the assem- bly. Important Subjects Because of the changes made in the tax laws at the last session, and the facty that some recommendations for change have been made by the tax commissioner, it is held likely that tax laws will be the subject of much discussion. Taxation is a hardy perennial of legislative action. With control divided, it is held doubtful ]} if banking laws will assume the im- ———e portance in the forthcoming session that they held. in the last.

Minneapo! Restrictions On School Land Loans Are Made The state board of university and school lands has decided that in the future farm loans will not be made in excess of the assessed value of the land. The law provides that loans may not be made exceeding 50 per cent of the appraised value of lands, but too high appraisals made ‘by county boards have resulted in some bad loans, it is said, and the board believes that no loan should be made beyond the assessed value. The board, in special meeting, made farm loans’ totaling $188,200, and about $15,000 worth of school district bonds.

The report continues: “This was 19 per cent larger than the previous record figure of Octo-, ber, 1920, and nearly 50 per cent larger than the total in October last year, This tremendous increase is to be explained largely by the rapid} and heavy movement of the bread grains, which began in September. The condition of the labor market locally indicates business expansion, because data compiled by us shows that the unemployed laborer is in a mueh better bargaining position now than at any time since April of this year, rain receipts at Minneapolis and the Head-of-the-Lakes reached the remarkable total of 98,865,652 bus- hels during October. The immensi- ty of this figure is best shown by @ comparison with September receipts this year of about 86,000,000 bushels} and October receipts last year of le than 35,000,000 bushel: More than half of the grain marketed in Octo- ber was routed to Duluth and nearly 52,000,000 bushels were shipped down the lakes during the month. Pri ‘of all grains advanced during oak | ber, with the exception of corn, which {declined four cents per bushel in its median price. Demand Good uropean demand for North merican bread stuffs continued trong during October. Whext ex- orts from Atlantic and gulf ports, including both Canadian and Ameri- can grain, amounted to 42,556,000 bushels in the four weeks ending October 25, as compared with 23,890 in the same period last year. These fjgures are derived from the weekly rep of the Com- mercial and Financial Chronicle, Mour exports from the some ports totaled 600 barrels in the same four weeks of October, as compared with 1,217,000 barrels a year ago. Rye exports amounted to 12,476,000 bus- hels in the October period, while in the same period last year, they total- ed only 2,795,000 bushels. As prices of wheat and rye were forced upward by this export demand, European purchasers extended their orders to the less desirable grains—namely, barley and oats. Barley exports from Atlantic and golf ports were about 5 1-2 million bushels in October, as compared with less than 2 million bushels in September and a little more than I million bushels in Octo- ber, 1923. Similarly, in the case of oats, nearly 5 million bushels were exported in October from these ports, as compared with 2 1-2 million in September, and only one-third of a million bushels in October a year ago. During the week ending No- vember 1, exports of barley from At- lantic and gulf ports totaled 2,2 000 bushels, a volume more than five times as large as the volume of bar- ley exports in the same week last year. Stock Receipts “Receipts of livestock at terminals during October were one-fourth low, er than last year for cattle, one seventh lower for hogs and slightly less for sheep, The movement of feeders, as compared with last year, showed an improvement only for, hogs. This means that a change of sentiment ‘has probably taken place among hog raisers. Median prices of hogs, butcher steers and lambs at South St. Paul advanced although some decline is normally expected for this season of the year. The steady development of dairying is! shown by the greater receipts of calves than last year and by declines in their median prices greater than normal for this season. “Prospective building activity, as reflected by building permits granted in 18 important cities of this dis- trict, was greater in October this year than a year ago. Improved bus- iness confidence is also apparently indicated by the fact that larger pro- jects are under way now than last year. The housing situation in the cities is satisfactory, although more dwellings are for rent now than for several years past. However, this is not reaching such a point of surplus as to break values seriously nor to retard new building. It is note- worthy that there was a greater re- duction in the offerings for rent in October thdn is customary for this season of the year.

FRANCE FACES REVOLUTION, IS ASSERTION Cardinal Warns of Communist Attempt to Take Control of Government Paris, Nov. 28.—(By the A. P.)— France is threatened with a Commun- ist revolution, according to declara- tion by Cardinal DeBois, to be pub- lished tomorrow in the Semanie Re- ligieuse, an official Catholic organ. ‘Appealing to all French Catholics to “fight against the danger which Menaces us so imminently,” the Car- dinal write: “The hour is grave. We must Teact toda; tomorrow perhaps will be too late. God protect France.” The Cardinal’s manifesto, which ig circulated throughout France by the Agency Havas deals with the red demonstration at the ceremony at- tending the transference to the Pantheon of the ashes of Jean Jaures, the martyred socialist leader. “It continues “Is victorious France, six years after the war, to be a victim of revolution?

P.)— A weekly Zeppelin mail service between the Uniteq States and Eur- ope will soon be started, Dr. Hugo Eckener, director of the Zeppelin Company, who had charge of the ZR-3 trans-Atlantic flight, said today. The Zeppelin-Goodyear combihation does not intend to establish a pass- enger service for the present, he in- dicated, but believed one Zeppelin each way weekly, catrying half a million letters at 25 cents a letter, would be a business success. Dr. Eckener expects soon to leave for Spain to arrange for a Madrid- Buenos Aires service operated on the same basis as the weekly service to and from the United States. The dirigibles on this route would take four days going frem Europe and four and one-half days returning, he estimated. WORLD LEAGUE: | able ! Biological {p.

He said that North Dakota was entitled to a first class Indian school for the training of the Indian children in this territory, and that Bismarck as the ideal and central location ch a school teaching all the including the high school courses, besides farming and the other lines of trade und home eco- nomics, etc.; that since the bridge had been built that additional land could be acquired across the river from the state by exchange with the land department; that as it the school here is only open to girls and the courses offered are only through the sixth grades, At Fort Berthold there is no school to handle the work, nor is there on the Standing Rock Reservation; and the school at Wahpeton is not equipped to handle the work, he said. Students from there have to be sent to either schools at Salem, Ore., or Lawrence, Kansas, and which are both too far away..

An excellent record was made in the “Get out the Vote” drive in this state, it being figured that 72.1 per cent of those entitled to vote in this state cast their ballots. Indiana and Kansas occupied the honor positions, Indiana getting out 83.2 percent and Kansas 80.3 percent of the total number of voters. West Virginia ranked third with 76.3 per cent, Minnesota fourth with 73.2 per cent and North Dakota fifth.

The survey showed that 19 of the 48 states cast a smaller vote this year than in 1920, They were chief- ly southern states, States where a falling off in the vote is shown are: Alabama, Ari- zona, Arkansas, Delaware, Florida, It was pointed out that the batta- lion at Khartum constituted the only. force of: Hgyptinn troops now left in the Sudan and that the British mili- tary there was strong enough to keep the situation jn hand. The bat- talion in question was to have left Khartum today in the wake of the first battalion, which moved out of the Sudan yesterday, The Sudanese troops and seople, particularly in the southern pure wt the territory, have appeared satis- fied with conditions there, it was stated, and there never has been any indication of trouble from that quare ter. It is stated in official quarters, however, that it was expected if trouble broke out along the Nile it would originaie in the Sudan. While a mutiny of troops was not an ex- pected possibility, it was not left outside official calculations and the government feels that it had the sit- uation so in hand that spreading of disorders to Egypt is impossible.

The lignite industry, which reached a high point of peak production during the coal strike two years ago, suffered from extremely mild weather in the state last win- ter. Although the present fall has been characterized as mild, the lig- nite mines in this section of the state are reported busy, Several mining companies, it has been reported, took salesmen off the road temporarily because of a flood of orders, and many have increased production remarkably in the last week, Reports of railroad shipments for the month of November, 1924, show an increase over a corresponding period the year previous. Shipments for the month of November, 1924, re- ported by railroads follow: coal shipped interstate traffic, week end- ing November first, 3,111 tons; No- Georgia, Idaho, Kentucky, Louisiana,| vember 8, 2,430 tons; November 15, Maryland, Montana, Nevada, New}3,017 tons; within state, November Mexico, North Carolina, Ohio, South|1, 26,593 tons; November 8, $2,086 Carolina, Tennessee, Utah and Vir-]tons; November 15, 37,634 tons.
