GROUP MEETS TO TALK OVER FARM RELIEF Corn Belt Committee to Dis- cuss Ways of Getting Help at Short Session Des Moines, Iowa, Oct. 19.—()— ; Discussion of procedure to obtain | farm relief legislation in the coming short session of congress was the primary purpose of today’s meeting of the corn belt committee here. The mecting, executive in nature, had a political atmosphere due to the] the presence of Senator David W. Stewart, successor to the late Senator A. B. Cummins: Colonel” Smith W. Brookhart, senatorial nominee, and Towa congressmen identified with the farm aid movement. The committee, i artisan, its members representing various farmer organi- zations. On the type of farm legislation to be advocated there is no uncertainty. The corn belt committee, like the committee of 22 with which it has worked, already has endorsed the McNary-Haugen relief principle, with surplus control and equalization fee Provisions. When the two committees met here a few months ago, they formulated plans to extend their activiti the south, a move intended to in- crease farm relief in congress. Thq committee membership now comes from the corn, wheat and livestock states und inclusion of representa- tives from the cotton states would mean a union of the growers of the three principal products covered in the McNary-Haugen bill, it was pointed out. William Hirth, Columbia, Mo., committee chairman, is presiding over today’ sions. SALES ORGANIZATION IS NEED OF AMERICAN FA\ Buffalo, N.

Ferguson, husband of Governor Miriam A. Ferguson, reeeiv- ed money in connection with the awarding highway contracts dur- ing his wife’s administration. Chai of irregularities in high- way affairs, @ major issue in Texas politics since Ferguson was ousted "as governor several years ago, fur- nished the basis of one of the hard- est fought campaigns in the state’s history when Mrs. Ferguson was de- t for re-nomination for governor ' by Attorney General Dan Moody in a j Tun-off primary. With the Democratic nomination considered equivalent to election, par- ty leaders carried the highway roa oe into the special legislative ion called last month by Mrs. Ferguson to idate $100,000,000 of state road declared invalid by. the United States supreme court. In her pro- clamation calling the special session, Governor Ferguson invited the legi lators “to investigate uny state di partments they might desire.” The legislature adopted a new road bony measure, last week appointed the committee which yesterday began its hearing of the charges of aceeptance of bribes by former Governor Ferguson. inder Testifies Testifying before the committee yesterday, J. D. Winder, road con- tractor of Bellville, Texas, declared Ferguson told him tre could have maintenance contracts in five coun- ties if Winder would pay him $7,500. “Highway contractors erally un- derstood,” Winder testified, “that it would cost them 10 per cent of the contract to get a cou@ty-maintenance contract.” The witness then detail- ed his alle; dealings with Ferguson in which he said he refused to pay $7,500 in return for a $75,118 con- tract. Ferguson, in a statement last night, declared he did not know Winder. He characterized the legations as a sponte falsehood,” and claimed that “every member of the committee is a bitter partisan against me per- sonally, ag well as against the ad- ministration.” Is Pardened As the highway investigation start- ed yesterday, Governor Ferguson par- doned Murray Jackson, one of several men convicted by Moody in Klan flogging case three y: It was Mood; iy sees prosecutionn of the case that brought him state- unty Fn gen- eral two years ago. Jackson had served one year of five-year term in connection with an attack on R. W. Burleson, kins- man of formtr Postmaster General Albert Sidney Burleson. The victim of the attack was flogged and tarred and feathered by mas! men, Gov- ernor Ferguson, who declared = the klan was responsible for her defeat, said she wanted “see justice done,” regardless of what organizu- tion Jacksdn was affiliated with.

A. McKinley, blind attor-| ney of Long Beach and one of the evangelist’s accusers, today faced further grilling at the hands of At-. torney Gilbert. i One pf the counts in the charges [against Mrs. McPherson and her mother specifies that they conspired with McKinley to manufacture false evidence te substantiate the “evangel- ist’s story of having been kidnaped by two men and a woman and held for ransom. McKinley recently was killed in an automobile accident. Yesterday Miss Morris underwent a grilling cross examination which failed to shake her original story that she had been importuned by Mrs. ‘Pherson and her mother to con- tinue the “work” undertaken by Mc- kinley to produce “kidnapers” to sup- port the evangelist’s abduction story. STATE IS IN NEED OF MORE OFFICE SPACE Commissions Depart- ments Expected to Clamor For Larger Quarters Reapportionment of office space in the state capitol building is suggested by J. A.“Kitchen, commissioner of agriculture and labor, in his biennial rt prepared for the legislature. k of space in the capitol build- ing, Kitchen says, has been made more crftie I by the smallness of the ap- propriation granted by the board of administration to rent outside quar- ters.

E. McCurdy this morning agreed that “some action is needed,” but contended that such action should come from the west side of the rive The city of Bi early last spring, trol been very vig preventing fast or reckle ing on the highway between Bismarck and the bridge and it is pointed out that, with but one exception that of the Indian girl being struck by an automobile—there has not been a single serious traffic accident east of the bridge this summer. 4 Motorists know that there is a motorcycle officer on duty on the Bismarck side of the river,-and it has often been noted that per- sons who cover the distance from Mandan to the bridge in record time invariably slow down to a moderate speed once they are on the east side of the bridge. “Certainly some action is need- ed to curb the speeding and reckless driving on the Mandan- Bismarck highway,” said State's Attorney McCurdy this morning, “but Bismarck and Burleigh county authorities believe that the action should be taken by the peace officers of Mandan or Mor- ton county. A motorized patrol- man on the west side of the riv- er, such as Bismarck maintains on the east side, would very quickly put a stop to the flagrant misuse of the highway which has resulted in several serious smash- ups of late.” Governor A. G. Sorlie and State Highway Engineer H. C. Frahm are also interested in the move- ment to make the Mandan-Bi: marck highway safe for the trav- eling public and at. the last meet- ing of the highway commission a resolution was passed instructing Mr. Frahm to discuss with Man- dan city officials the advisability of employing a motoreycle patrol- along the road west of the MINOT GRANTS IOWA COMPANY GAS FRANCHISE Plant Will Cost $300,000— Will Be in Operation By July 15, Next Year inot, N.

Production records for September were the highest of the year up to date, athounting to 90,705 barrels which is materially in excess of the guaranted capacity of the plant. The high production is due in part to the arrival of the new wheat crop and partly to the fact that the former durum unit of the mill is now turning out hard wheat flour.
