The influence of the United States i ‘airs is indicated by the i delegation is over- whelmingly the most numeraus. With the British contingent it forms an English speaking bloc of nearly half the whole strength of the congress.

Ameri- cans are assuming the leading part . in shaping its destinies. Restoration Leads Topics + Three hundred and forty-seven na- tional chambers of commerce, 24 na- tional associations of bankers and 105 industrial associations will be represented on the floor when the congress opens.

It will incidentally bring the execution of the Dawes reparation plan into the discussion. The dele- gates will be asked to give their ex- Pert opinion whether it is possible for Germany to continue deliveries in kind on the reparations nayments to the extent provided in the Dawes 4 plan without upsetting the internal economy of the country’s industry— jn other words, whether there is not danger of ruinous “dumping.” Invitations Swamp Americans The congress has been organized *'so that the committees will have the ci entire morning for their work, while: the public discussions will take place in the afternoon.

Carl R. Kositzky, land com- | missioner, intends to bring offend- ers to book and will seek payment by farmers who are using the state lands illegally or will bring them to court, he says. ‘Two ‘investigators for the land commission will make a survey of the state, beginning July 1, to de- termine what farmers are enjoying the use of state lands without re- muneration. Mr, Kos atten- tion has been called to many cases where unleased state lands are used either for pasture or for hay-making. Will Bring Action ‘armers found infringing the state laws will be assessed an amount treble the amount of rental or, if they refuse to pay, will be made de- fendants in court’ proceedin, e penalty is $500 or a year in jail or both. It Has been found, says Mr. Ko- sitaky, that farmers lease four quar- ters, equivalent to 640 acres, of state land and then drop three quarters, meanwhile having fenced off the en- tire area, While having the right to only one quarter the lessee will thus make use of all three quarters, Many Acres Unleased Of the 1,500,000 acres of land owned by the state, 210,327 acres are unleased, according to figures compiled June 17. McKenzie county has the greatest amount of unleased lands, more than 42,000 acres. All but 40 acres are leased in Cass cqun- ty.

DEATH SAVES YOUNG SLAYER FROM GALLOWS Boy Under Sentence to Be Hanged Dies of Wounds Inflicted By Pal , attorney, body Chicago, June 22.—(#)—Bernard Grant, under sentence to be hanged August 14 and in whose behalf thou- sands of persons have signed peti- tions: asking clemency, died today as a result of stab wounds inflicted by his fellow prisoner, Walter Krauser, once sentenced to hang with Grant for the same murder. Krauser had obtained a new trial but the state supreme court had refused a new trial in Grant's case. As‘a tesult Governor Small reprieved Grant twice to await Krauser’s second trial. The governor apparently agreed with Grant's lawyers that should Krauser escape death by a second trial it would appear unequal justice to hang Grant. The pair were convicted of killing polceman Ralph Souders in 1922 and both sentenced to be hanged. Grant's hair turned white and gray in jail during his long incarceration. ~ YOUNG GIRL SLAYER GOES TO PRISON New York, June 22.—(#)—From five to fifteen years confinement in Auburn prison was the sentence im- posed today upon Dorothy Perkins, charged wifh killing Thomas Tempie- ton, Jersey City war veteran and-her suitor.

For many years we were neighbors to the Ladd fam- ily at North Fargo. I feel that the state has suffered the loss of a char- acter unique and interesting. And I know that the people of North Da- kota, irrespective of class or party, are saddened at his passing away. FRANK MILHOLLAN Frank Milhollan, president of the railroad commission, and president of the North Dakota state federation of labor, said: “The state has suffered a great loss. I speak advisedly on this point because on my frequent trips to Washington I came in contact with federal officials, who!regarded the late senator as an able states- man as well as a perfect gentleman. It will be difficult to renlace him because of his early training and knowledge of human nature. He was intimate with the problems of the farmer and one of his desires was to alleviate the farmer’s condition.” CONGRESSMAN BURTNESS Grand Forks, June 22.—Congre. man ©. B.

He has always stood for, and has always been on the moral side of every public ques- tion. He is the father of all our pure-food laws which he rigidly en- forced. He made mistakes because he was human, but his mistakes will be forgotten and only the bio things will be remembered.

His con-» dition suddenly became criti: in the past three days. His phy cians gave up hope of his recovery early today. He suffered a serious sinking spell during the night and his death was known to be imminent when the small portion of his fam- ily which could reach Baltimore to- day arrived at his bedside.

It was expected that the body would be taken to Washington tomorrow. A year ago Senator Ladd, while on a visit to his home, was caught in a rain storm and his clothes became thoroughly wet. He was traveling at the time and was unable to change. Shortly thereafter neuritis affected his left shoulder and later went to his hands and wrists. Last March he came to Johns Hoskins hospital here for an examination. It was found that his condition was not then serious, and he was advised that he might safely make his summer trip to North Dakota, being careful to avoid exertion. Returns to Hospital On June 1 he started, first visiting his son, Vernon, in Cleveland. Rid- ing in an automobile his limbs be- came cramped and the neuritis re- turned. His physicians previously had recommended that several af- fected teeth be removed. This he had planned to have done in Fargo after he had filled several speaking en- gagements. At Cleveland,” however, his condition became such as to pre- clude further plans for the North Dakota trip and he returned to Johns Hopkins. The facilities he required not be- ing available there at the moment, he was transferred to the Church Home and Infirmary. His condition at that time was not believed critical. A few days later kidney trouble de- veloped, and during the past week and a half his condition had daily grown more serious. Last night when the climax of his illness arrived he failed to respond to last resort treatment and sank steadily until his death at 10:20 a. m. Suffers Setback Washington, June 22.—Senator Ladd suffered-a critical setback dur- ing the night, it was announced here today and his physicians were said to hold little hope of his recovery at that time. The condition of the Senator, who was undergoing treatment for kidney trouble, was ibed as having changed from serio ‘itical. He still retained consciousness this morning but there was little hope that he would rally then. Physician reported his condition as unchanged last night and expressed the opinion that he would improve if he would show a disposition to make a fight. The Senator went to the hospital about ten days ago for neuritis and rheumatism and the kidney trouble developed only recently. It was not generally known he was ill before his condition began to grow serious. Senator Ladd, who had passed his 66th year, had been one of the moat (Cntinued on page four.)
