She testified also that Shepherd had told her that Billy had said prior to the doctors’ diagnosis that he had typhoid fever. On cross examination the nurse said that she had acted upon pacifi instructions of the doctors. She said she observed nothing unusual at the home and that Shepherd ap- peared as the usual father of an ill son would. Shepherd expressed anx- iety over the boy’s condition, she testified.

ATTEMPT MADE BY GUNMEN TO MURDER CROWE Thug Appears at Office of Chicago State’s Attorney and Attacks Staff June 17.—4)—Warfare; Chi- hk Chicago, between Chicago gangsters and cago policemen which started 1a week with the shooting of five po- licemen, last night was carried into the city hall when an_ unidentified man appeared at the office of Robert E. Crowe, states attorney, and frred/ point blank at Sergeant Elbert Cur-| ran, attached to the states attorney’s staff. Curran was not hit and the man escaped after Curran had fired sev- eral shots at him as he fled down a corridor. Few minutes after the shooting every door to the county building was guarded and fot an pose gun squads ransacked the build- ing in the belief that the gunman had been cornered. Curran ‘said the man who fired at him resembled a man who appeared at the county building Monday even- Ing and asked to see the states at- torney, explaining that his brother in trouble and intimating his ive had been seized when more 200 alleged gangsters had been week's shoot- rel th rounded up after la: ings.

HEAVY LOSSES ARE SUSTAINED ON LIVESTOCK Losses on livestock shipped _by North Dakota farmers are steadily rising and are higher than losses in transit of vegetables, in the opinion of E. M.

Chief Machi SCHOOL LANDS BOARD T0 BUY | STATE BONDS t to $1,500,000 of Real Estate Issue Purchase of at least $1,500,000 of Bank of North Dakota real estate bonds which go on sale July 1 is being contemplated by the board of. university and school lands, Carl R. Kositzky, seeretary of the board and land commissioner, says. Members of the board feel that the bank should sell to the board because it will remain part of the finances of the state and be an aid to the schools and institutions in the state. Invested in Loans balance of the permanent fund is $1,611,639. These funds are invested in farm loans and bonds which bear 5 per cent interest. One- third of these funds are intended to be invested in farm loans, and two- thirds in bonds such as school, state and county bonds. At the first of the year more than $2,300,000 was invested in farm loans or more than one-third of the amount above the sum that was intended to| be so invested. At that time there was about $300,000 worth of farm loans pending payment, making a total of $1,500,000. Now there is about $300,- 000 in farm loans pending payment, including those which the board ap- proved since Jan, 1. Two Men in Charge It will take the board until Jan. 1, 1926, to complete pending loans, as the board is handicapped, since there are only two men who have charge of farm loan accounting, one in the land commissioner’s department and one in the attorney general's depart- ment. \ At the December meeting of the board it was decided not to distribute application blanks for farm loans be- cause of the fact that one-third of the amount to be invested in- this manner had already been disposed of. Since then no applications have been considered. ROTARY URGED TO AID WORK AMONG BOYS Cleveland, June 17.—()—Failure to accept the responsibility of boy- right: Mate C, Lieut. M. A. Schur, F.

Corruti, representing also other. members of the diplomatic corps. The note said: “From all sides we are informed of developing anti foreign sentiment and unfriendly tendencies which cause the greatest apprehension. “Wishing above all to dispell every cause which might result in impair- ing the relations between China and foreign governments, my colleagues ‘and I once more draw the attention of the Chinese government to the gravity of the situation.” The note cited incidents of the state of unrest in China which im-| periled the. lives and property of foreigners. It detailed recent dis- turbances at Shanghai, Kancho and Kiukiang. It said that at Chinkaing the agi- tation had become so intense that foreigners had been obliged to send their families to Shanghi hood today is a reproach to Rotar- ians banded together on a platform of service, Hart I.

Rotary’s purpose is to develop the right kind of-a citizen so that Rotari- ans may leave the world a tittle bet- ter than they found it, Mr. Seely said, adding that men of today can do no greater work than to help the boys grow into the kind of men they should be tomorrow. “What kind of men will they’ be?” he asked. “High minded men, men of | lofty ideals, men’ of business integ- rity, men of high ethical standards in business? The answer lies with you. The responsibility is yours. , “If the boy is to be a success as a citizen -he must have physical strength; he must have health, and Rotary advocates clinics where the joy may find out about himself; playgroynds and swimming pools, where he may develop his physical nature and grow into a healthy young man. “The boy needs an education to | @ success. Not necessarily a college euucetion, but we say ‘every boy should have a trained hand and a trained mind. He should know his fellowman and realize that citizen- ship is not an individual matter but &@ group matter.” OLD SETTLERS ‘° TO.

D., that black rust, threatening severe crop damage, had developed in the Red River valley, had much to do with an unusual sharp advance today in the price ‘of wheat. The market closed strong at an extreme gain of 6c a bushel, July $2.55% to $1.55%. Even higher prices for wheat were touched on a wave of buying just be- fore the finish. The top for the day was $1.56 1-4 July delivery, an over- night jump of 6 3-4e a bushel. Enlarged export buying and scar- city of speculative offerings were ad- ditional factors in sending wheat up. Purchases of wheat and rye for ship- ment to Europe were large. Today's sudden advance came after a severe dectine of 20c a bushel on the last week. Prior to today the market had been on the downgrade ‘for nine successive days. NO DANGER Fargo, June 17.—VP)—A few infec- tions of the early stages of black stem rust have been found in the j wheat plats at the state agricultural college here, but several other sam- ples, some of which experts at the college first thought were rust in- fected, proved only to have harmless leaf rust and there is no danger at present of materieal rust damage to Red River valley wheat. Future weather conditions are a large factor in determining damage. L. R.. Wal- gren, plant breeder at the college said. “Hot wet weather during June and July might cause serious infec- tion,” he said. One report from the Red River Valley has told of species of rust. “There is no reason in the world for a rust scare at this stage in the development in the wheat plant,” au- today.

JARDINE YANK FLYERS PLAN 10 MAP UNKNOWN LAND MacMillan to Make Survey of Region Between North Pole and Alaska PARTY LEAVES TODAY Carry Radio Outfit to Keep in Touch With Base and Civilization Boston, June 17.—The Artic expe- dition of Lieut. Commander Donald B. McMillan sailed from the navy yrad at Charlestown shortly after noon today in the eteamer Perry bound for Wicassett, Maine. From Wicassett the Perry and the schoon- er Bowdenine will sale on MeMil- lan's ninth voyage to the’ North. MacMillan, in outlining the object of his expedition, just before the Peary sailed, asserted that if Amund- son, Norwegian Arctic explorer, be- lieved lost on his flight to the north pole, had not been found when the American expedition reached Etah, Greenland, he would undertake his rescue. Amundsen, he said, will run out of food tomorrow. Governor Fuller, assistant secre- tary of the Navy, Theodore D. Rob- inson, Mayor Curley and others were gathered at the navy yard to wish the expedition bon voyage. _ Big Guns Boom The big guns of the navy crafts thundered farewell as the little steamer slipped away on the first leg of the trip beyond the arctic cir. cle. A navy band on the pier played “Auld Lang Syne.” A crowd which had crammed. its way into the navy yard cheered. The harbor echoed with the shrieks of Marine whistles as crafts at anchor joined in the ,| tribute. . Overhead as the Peary passed on its way out to’ sea a dozen hydro- aitplanes circled. Washington, June 17.—U?)—The primary object of the MacMillan 'y expedition sailing from Boston today is to make a hydrographic sur- vey by airplane of the last great un- known region of the northern hemis- phere, that territory lying between the North Pole and Alaska and cov- ering 1,000,000 square miles. Scarcely less in importance will be the exploration of little known re- gions such as Ellesmere Island, Grant Land, Baffin Island and see- tions of Labrador, as well as the an- cient Norse settlements on the west- ern edge of Greenland. In addition plant and animal life, meteorogical conditions, and other scientific ques- tions of the far north will be studied. Away Three Months _Due to the high mobility given by airplanes, however, the expedition intends to be absent little more tha: three months, it is estimated that an airplane in one day can accom- plish as much in exploration as could be done by dog sled in more than a month. If all goes well the party will be in full retreat to the south by early fall, in time to avoid the heavy ice movement which by October 1 will to a large extent block the pass- age of vessels around northwest Greenland. The expedition is headed by Don- ald B. MacMillan, veteran of many Arctic explorations, and is sponsored by the National Geographic Society, which has contributed to its sup- port both in money and personnel, while the navy will be a participant through personnel assigned to it on active duty and airplanes and other supplies. Heading the navy contingent is Lieutenant Commander Richard E. Byrd, of Winchester, Va., who has selected the navy personnel and aviation equipment and will be re- sponsible to the secretary of the navy, although working in coopera- tion with the main expedition. Wi h him are two officers and four enlist- ed men of the navy while at their disposal are three airplanes of the amphibian type which can maneuver from the land, ice, and water. Little difficulty in ‘their operation is ex- pected, as MacMillan believes the minimum temperatures encountered will not be excessive. touching set, Me., and then at Sydney, |. S., for coal and other suppli. will go direct to Etah, Greenland, where the main base will ‘be estab- lished. From there the airplanes will go to Cape Hubbard on. the northern point of Axel Heiberg 1 to establish an advance flying base. Two ships are being used. The Bowdoin, a veteran of other Arctic trips with MacMill: MacMillan, scient' ry is conveying tl nd the navy section of the c But two of the airplanes will be used actively in exploration, the third being held at Etah with the vessels as a reserve for possible emergency. . ‘The plan calls for two airpl: to scout northwest from Axel Heiberg land in exploring the unknown re- gion and in looking for land which, possibly of continental mass, is be- lieved to lie between Alaska and the North Pol Unik land is discov- ered, however, the entire unknown region will not be covered because of the limitation of the aircraft overa- tions. At least 200,000 square miles will be surveyed by having the lanes shoot out in three different jines for a distance of about 500 miles. The two will travel together at all times and if is overed the advance flying base will be ad- Ashland, June 17.—(#)—Joseph ting overa- Martin, 7 year old Chippewa Indi Tend ewttleed teen ten aan int.
