The hearing will begin at Chicago Sept. 1 before Chairntan Aitchison of the commission. ‘ Petitions for increases were filed as briefs in answer to the commis sion’s inquiries under the H: Smith congressional resolution whit directed a revision of the general rate structure if the commission found such a step necessary. The commission decided it should first deal with the western districts for these reasons: To determine what products of agriculture including livestock are affected by depression. To determine what if any reduc- tions may be lawfully effected on rates on products of agriculture. To determine whether any rate fares or charges either on particular classes or kinds of commodities or classes of trai in particular sec- tions or between particular localities in the western districts or otherwise may lawfully be authorized or re- quired to be increased and if so to what extent .in order to compensate for such rate reductions if any may be found proper. To determine if any rate fare or charges may be lawfully authorized to be increased in order to effect such increases in the revenues of western carriers as may be found Proper. State commissioners are cooper: ing in the inquiry but the notice to- day invited representatives of all other interests to participate. Car- riers were notified to be ready to go on at the third hearing submitting their statistics of operations showing earnings on traffic since 1923.

LEAGUE PLANS TO UNITE ON ONE CANDIDATE State House Forces Organize to Dominate Party Meet- ing Next Week BRONSON STANDS HIGH New Twist Given ‘to Senate Scramble by Letter From Mrs. Ladd _The Nonpartisan League conven- tion scheduled to convene in Bis- marck next week will unite behind one candidate to be the League nom- inee to succeed to the seat in the U, S. Senate vacated by the death of the late E. F. Ladd, according to an agreement reached here between factions of the League organization. Administration forces had origin- ally planned to have the convention certify the names of several alter- native candidates to be presented to Governor Sorlie for appointment. State house forces, which today were organizing to dominate the League conclave, will form behind a single | F candidate, who, it is expected, will have the tentative endorsement of the executive. Bronson Is Mentioned Judge A. M. Bronson, Grand Forks, former member of the state supreme bench, was today spoken of as the administration candidate for League endorsement. Members of the ad- ministration faction would not con- firm the report of Judge Bronson’s candidacy today. In an interview last week, Gov- ernor Sorlie admitted he had under consideration half a dozen men qual- ified for appointment to succeed Ladd. At the time, the executive in- dicated he had not’ so far decided on the man he will pick for the vacant post. “If the Us S. Senate were handi- capped by the lack of a Senator from North Dakota, I should appoint to- morrow. But it is nearly, five months before the opening of the December session of Congress, and I can see no reason for hasty action.” A new twist to the ‘scrambled political situation existing in the state came yesterday when Mrs. E. F. Ladd, widow of the late Senator, announced she had asked Governor Sorlie to appoint Douglas H. Mc- Arthur, the Senator's secretary, to the post vacated by the death of her husband. In a letter dispatched to the executive yesterday, she lauded McArthur, whom she named as the man best fitted to carry on the work of Senator Ladd. Will Not Alter Plans It is not expecteu tia. ue latest development ‘in North Dakota’s sen- atorial crisis will alter the political lineup. The view. taken here today was that Nonpartisans will not be disposed to support McArthur. The paramount consideration in the selection of the League candidate will be his availability as a candi- date for election in 1926. The man who.today can promise to swing the state to the Nonpartisan League in 1926 in a senatorial election stands the best chance of nomination. Healey, 17-year-old Garden City, S. D., girl, whose charred body was found late yesterday in a burned straw stack near that place, was dlain at her own request by Winfred Meek, 21, and Robert Lappier, State's At- torney H. H. Hanson, announced here today. Hanson said that Meek and Lap- pier told him following their arrest yesterday, that they met the girl in evening and drove her into the country where she begged them to end her life. The leged confession declares that Lap- pier struck Miss Healey over the head with a tire iron and that both youths then choked her with her scarf, plac- ing the body in a straw stack, the state’s attorney said the alleged con- fession declared. The youths drove to Bradly to attend a motion picture show. Later they returned and set fire to the straw stack to obliterate While » general search had been instituted for the missing girl, offi- cers of Clark county said that burn- ing of a. straw pile in the year is unusual and this searchers to the spot. Hanson said he would prefer charges of first de- gree murder against Meek and Lap- pier. They will be arraigned for pre- liminary hearing late today. CONTRACT LET FOR ROAD IN M’LEAN CO.
