D., May 16.—The tomary decline in April business in the ninth federal reserve district is {noted in the preliminary summary of agricultural and financial condi- jtions received here today from the ifederal reserve bank of Minneapolis. |The report states that grain and livestock receipts: and prices were both lower than in the preceding month and that manufacturing, as jreflected in shipments of forest products, linseed products and flour, ; declined. “Total carloadings of all products, however, increased slightly, due pri- marily to @ very large expansion in ore shipments to the head of the lakes in anticipation of an earlier opening of navigation,” continues the report. “During the month of April, coun- try banks drew heavily upon their jcity correspondents for funds ‘und as a result banks in larger cities sold securities, collected maturing loans, reduced their cash holdings and reserves and borrowe: i extent from the Fede Bank,” the report says. ri Reserve notes outstanding declined. “The most promising fact contain- ed in the April figures as compared with March was an increase of ap- proximately 75 percent in the valua tion of building permits granted in eighteen cities in this district. This is considerably more than the sea- sonal increase normally to be expect- ed at this time of the year. “As compared with a year ago, Apri) business exhibited a gain of 27 percent in the total money value as reported by seventeen cities in the district, the greatest gains being shown at Duluth-Superior (50 per- cent) and South St. Paul (39 per- cent). This increase in money value{ was accompanied by an increase in! physical volume, as carloadings were seven percent greater than 9 year ago. “Department store sales increased very slightly. Speculative trading in grain was more than double that of @ year ago. “There was nearly a doubling in the valuation and a substantial in- crease in the number of building permits granted at eighteen cities. This is the most favorable fact con- tained in the figures for the month as compared with the same month a year ago. Contracts awarded were greater than a year ago, with a note- worthy trend in the direction of in- creased residential and commercial building and pronounced declines in public utility, industrial and educa- tional instruction. “There has been some damage to winter wheat and fruit in the west- ern portion of this district, but most of this acreage has been reseeded. There will be practically no aband- onment of rye in North Dakota. The outlook for the spring wheat cro, very good. Moisture conditions are as favorable as they have been for years. The crop was put in about two weeks earlier than usual. There will be some expansion over last year in the acreage planted, and a large increase in the western half of district.

LOPEZ AGAIN ON STAND AT HEARING Man Trying to Establish Identity Recovers From Collapse Minneapolis, May 15.—Despite his collopse on ‘the witness stand yes- terday in the United States district court here, Arthur Lopez-Frazier, a! leged Indian World war veteyan, 3 sumed the stand today. He is try- ing to establish his identity as Arthur Frazier while the government contends his name is Lopez and he is a Mexican. Lopez claims he was wounded in the war and is entitled to compensa- tion, while the government claims the real Indian was killed in the war. Most of the questions asked by LaFayette French, federal district attorney. was devised to determine Lopez’s familiarity with names of persons who live near the Frazier home. To most of the questions he said, “I can’t remember, but I knew it once.” A number of witnesses came from Rochester, Minn., where Lopez-Fra- zier was taken by the Veterans Bur- eau a year ago, to see if he could be identified by men who had serv- ed with Arthur Frazier, at Camp Cody, N. M., with the 136th Infantry. On the stand today they were not positive. They all used the expres- sion “resembles” rather than “is.” j= Business Women LONG HIGHWAY County boards of commissioners of Nelson and Ramsey counties have requested federal aid on state high- way No. 12, which would close a gap and complete the first federal-state highway across the state, according to W. G. Black, chief engineer of the state highway commission. The high- | way extends from Langdon, near the Canadian line, to the South Dakota line, embracing Lawton, Lakota, Cooperstown and Valley City, a dis- «tance of 220 miles. The proposed im- {provement in Nelson. and Ramsey counties is about 24 miles in length. A delegation of 10 Edgeley citizens, reinforced by two Stutsman county residents, called upon the ¢hief en- gineer recently to seck aid in pro- moting a federal aid road from Edge- ley morth to Jamestown.

This is the announcement of I. B. Johnson, secretary of the North Da- kota Farm bureau. Mr. Johnson re- ports that there will be a meeting of the executive committee of the state federation in Fargo, May 22 and 23 to plan definite detaits of the big statewide farm bureau member- ship campaign which is to be launch- ed at once. “The National Farm Bureau Fed- eration has become a powerful fac- tor and is playing a tremendously important part in national affairs af- fecting the farmer,” said Mr. John- son recently. “Because we in North Dakota have not had a strong Farm Bureau Fed- eration, we do not realize what a vital factor the national farm bu- reau has become. Through it, how- ever, the farmers now have an or- ganization that is heard in a mighty effective way in national matters. “Mr. Evans will tell us what this farm bureau has already accomplish- ed for the farmer, what it is now doing, and how it helps each indi- vidual farmer. “We are planning a big outdoor meeting, probably at the fairgrounds in connection with the Jersey cattle sale that will be on that same day and hope to have hundreds of farm- ers here, many of them from distant countries to hear Mr, Evans.” CATHOLIC WOMEN RE-ELECT ALL OLD OFFICERS, Dickinson, N. biennial convention, which closedithe resignation has not been acted here yesterday. upon to date- due to no executive “Grand Forks was named the 1927| committee meeting having been convention city. held.

ACTION TAKEN BY CABINET FOR PAYMENT of; Caillaux Reparations Fund Making Settlements Use in Favors (By The Associated Press) Pai May 15.—Premier Briand and Finance Minister Caillaux were authorized by the French Cabinet to study the interallied debt question with a view to settlement. Both Caillaux and Briand have expressed the belief that the interallied debt, question ‘must be solved to establish credits. Finance Minister Caillaux stated that part of the! Dawes reparations funds must be used for the purpose of paying off, the debt, even though the use of this money will be needed for internal rehabilitation. Premier Briand is known to have considered the foreign debt settle ment as part of his foreign policy Negotiations on the present debt question will be resumed within the present month with the United States, and will be in the hands of the United States Debt Funding Commission. WORLD COURT PLEA New York, May 15.—America should join a world court, to “get the practical processes of peaceful decision operating while the world is erying for peace,” Owen D. Young, the first administrator of the Dawes reparation plan, said at the annual dinner of the National Institute of Social Science ast night. With his advocacy of adhesion to a world tribunal, he joined a plea for the substitution of actual participa- tion and experiment in world affairs for debate on underlying principles and for consideration and patience toward the nations in America’s debt. “Most of all,” he said, “let us see to it that the great moral, physical and financial power of this country is not used to impose impossible and unfair terms, and so pave the way for future default with all the evil reactions and bitterness which that may bring to the next generation.” Mr. Young’s address was a plea for practical action, in attempted® solu- tion of world problems. The Dawes plan, he said, is “only an interme- diate experiment.” He urged the im- portance of action, even in only a limited area. “Let us do the small thing before us to do, even though it be small,” he said. “Let us get our growth from experience and anchor our discussion to practical programs, instead of soaring into ‘tour times at the Washington, May 15.—General Nelson A, Miles, famous American soldier, died here today. Death occured while General Miles was attending a circus. The general apparently had been in the best of health and his death was unexpected. Despite his advanced age, General Miles had taken unusual interest in political affairs and until today, when he started for the circus, there was no hint of illness. The old Indian fighter was in the third row of seats when his heart failed. He fell into the arms of Dr. A. W. Craig, who was directly behind him. Dr. Craig removed him outside the tent where he died. The general wag accompanied by several grand children. The open- ing pageant of the circus had just started when he collapsed. Those sitting near him did not recognize the distinguished soldier and the news of his death was not generally known until the performance was over. Brilliant Soldier Lieutenant General Nelson A. Miles, brilliant Indian fighter and one of the most picturesque and dis- tinguished leaders in American mil- itary ‘history, was one of the “boy generals” of the Civil War. At the age pf 25 he had risen from the rank of first lieutenant of volun- teers to that of Major General, and was commanding an entire army di- vision of 25,000 men, General Miles, who at the peak of his military career was Command- ing General of the army, was one of the few high ranking officers of the fegular establishment to attain his position without West Point train- ing, and also enjoyed the distinction of being among the still smaller group to be honored with the rank of Lieutenant General. From a clerical position in a Bos- ton business house, he entered the army at the age of 22; participated in more than 30 of the severest en- gagements of the Civil War; was point of death from wounds, and emerged from the great struggle the possessor of many enviable citations for bravery and distinguished service. Continuing in the army, he fought and pursued Indians on the Great Plains for more than 20 years; led the army of occupation in Porto Rico during the Spanish-American war, and although ; long retired when fhe United States entered the World War, he was ready and eager to participate once again in the service to which his life had been devoted. Wanted To Serve It was the saddest disappointment of a long and adventerous career when, despite his best efforts, Gen- eral Miles was not recalled to active service in 1917. He had been retired in 1903 upon reaching the age lim- it, but when the United States en- tered the European war, he asked to be sent to Siberia with the American troops. It was decided, however, that an exception could not be made in his case, hence his last military ser- vice was in 1916, when he presided over the Mcdal of Honor Board which reviewed the list gf officers and men who had been honored by the nation with that decoration. General. Miles received his. first military training at the hands of a former officer of the French army who eked out a livelikood im Boston by teaching a number of young men the tactics employed by the French army. It was quite natural that his ambitions should enter on the army, for he sprang from a long line of fighting colonists on the paternal side. The family traced its ances- that rarified atmosphere where hu- man undertakings die.” America’s attitude toward interna- day morning, May 19 in the Pres- byterian church parlors.

Let us join a world court. Let us get our experi- ence and strengthen peace agencies in order that they may be strong to meet the issues of the future in @ new generation which will not itself have experienced the horrors of war as we have done.
