J. F. T. OCONNOR ATTORNEY FOR PICTURE STAR J. F. T. O'Connor, former North Dakota political leader, who recently became associated with W. G. Me- Adoo in the practice of law in Los ‘Angeles, will act as attorney for Agnes Ayres, motion picture star, in a suit for $43,000 for asserted breach of contract started by the actress against the Producers’ Distributing Corporation. She declares that company obtained a amignment of her services from the Peninsula studios and has failed to avail itself of them, gieatly to her damage. The contract was made last Sep- tember und was for three pictures, Miss Ayres declares, The first. was finished early in March and March 15, she said, she was ready to start the second. On March 20, she said, the contract was assigned to the W. W. Hodkinson Company, now known as the Producers’ Distriout- ing Corporation, but neither of the other pictures has /been started. To get her to consent to the trans- fer, she asserts, Cecil B. De Mille and F. C. Monroe of the Producers’ concern, promised to star her in a better grade of pictures, but instead have kept her idle. Miss Ayres was to receive $10,- 000 for each picture. She has re- ceived $2,000 on account of the sec- ond, she says, and nothing for the third. Because she has not been kept before the public she has suffer- ed $25,000 damages, she contends, a total of $43,000. Miss Ayres also complains that instead of starring her alone, as the contract called for, they have cofeatured her name with an “actor of no prominence.” 1 a TRUCK FLOATS IN SEA London—A drunken driver drove a light truck out into the ocean from a sandy beach.

NEW SALEM MAN TAKES HIS OWN LIFE “Melancholia” was found to have prompted the suicide of Otto Sorge, 59, pioneer farmer living 12 miles north of New Salem in the Blue Grass district, by drinking a deadly potion of formaldehyde. Sorge had been subject to fits of melancholia for several months past. ‘Although he had an excellent crop on his fine farm and was pot in finan- cial difficulties, his health had not been of the best. Sunday morning he left his farm home and failed to re- turn for four or five hours. When he did stagger to the farm house he was in a critical condition and could not talk to members of his family. Dr. Gaebe was summoned from New Salem, but the man was beyond help. He had taken an unusually large amount of formaldehyde, it was indicated by mute evidences—a broken package, water, etc., left in the granary where he had mixed the’ potion and taken it. Mr. Sorge died at 10 o'clock yes- terday morning after intense suffer- ing since Sunday. Coroner John K. Kennelly of Mor- ton county investigated the case and issued a death certificate of death due to suicide. Mr. Sorge had been a resident of the New Salem district for nearly 25 years, His wife and a number of childyen survive, Funeral services will be held Thursday.

Miller of Bottineau Elected Chairman at Morning Session J. LYNN FRAZIER SPEA Ss Executive Called to Meeting to State Plans for Filling Senate Seat A committee of three_mem- bers of the Nonpartisan League convention arrived at the capitol this afternoon to invite wer- nor A. G. Sorlie to appear he- fore the League gathering, for the purpose of stating hin plans for filling the seat in the United Staten Senate, vacated by the death of the late E. F. . In event the executive de- clines to attend the League con- clave the committee will seek to obtain the Governor's views on the legality of a Senate appoint- ment, and will discuss proxpec- tive candidates for appointment. to the post vacated by Senator Ladd. The conference _ committee, consisting of C. C. Talbot, Dickey county, F. A. Vogel, Cole Har- bor, and Thomas Pendree, James- town, was appointed when a mo- tion requesting the executive's presence at the convention passed unanimously, Administration forces in the meet- ing sought to block the resolution, oo was submitted by C.

S. Senator; (2) nomination of candidates; (3) reorganization of the “North Dakota Nonpartisan League” organ; (4) re- port of the resolutions committee. J. C. Miller, Bottineau, had been elected chairman of the North Da- kota Nonpartisan League convention and 70 delegates had been seated when recess was taken at noon today. The meeting was called to recommend to Governor A. G. Sorlie the name of a man to succeed the late E. F. Ladd as United States senator. Five additional votes were represented by proxies. Mrs. EF. 0. Bailey, Bismarck, a mem- ber of the Nonpartisan League cen- tral committee, was secretary. Ole Knutson, chairman of the Nonparti- san League executive committee, call- ed the meeting to order with S. McDonald, another member of the committee, as secretary. R. W. Frazier, chairman of the Non- partisan state central committee, called a meeting of that body for this afternoon. His purpose, he said, was to consider what the convention might do. Sorlie In Control The opinion was general that forces of Governor A. G. Sorlie were in control of the convention and that the chief action taken would be the passage of a resolution expressing confidence in the executive. Governor Sorlie held a long con- ference with Senator Lynn J. Frazier this morning but both were reticent regarding developments. In a speech to the delegates Senator Frazier said Senator Norris of Ne- braska would take the place of the late Senator La Follette of Wisconsin as progressive leader in the senate and predicted that he would receive the aid of Senator Borah, Idaho, and Johnson, California. Attacking Vicepresident Dawez’ methods of attempting to force changes in the senate rules, Senator Frazier said the real solution to leged dilly-dallying tactics in con- gress would be the abolition of the lame-duck sessions by permitting fed- eral officials, including the president, vice-president and congressmen, to take office in January after they are elected instead of waiting 13 months as at present.
