At the same time, the coroner, the state's attoxney, the police and the United States Steamboat Inspection Service were conducting inquiries into the tragedy, but they had ar< rived at no definite evidences of ‘criminal liability for the disaster.

WILL BE LOW Complete Description of Mod- el Will Be Announced Next ~ Few Weeks RUMORS MISLEADING Detroit Magnate Says He Has Been Experimenting For Several Years Detroit, July 30.—(?)—Motor and speed tests of the new automobile shortly to be introduced on the market by the Ford Motor company are be- ing made personally by Henry Ford, it was announced today. The manufacturer has been engaged for the past few weeks in driving the car over roads in the yicinity of Dear- born, Mich., the announcement from the executive office of the organiza- tion said. The result of the tests were not disclosed. Ford ‘celebrated bis 64th birthday | quietly at his home today. “I feel better and have a greater interest in life than was the case four years ago, because I have a new job to tackle that was unforesebn then,” he told associates. The “new job” was taken to-refer to his new car. Keeps Present Name Discussing the new. machine, Mr.| Ford indicated it would be of the low priced variety. He also referred to it as a Ford. There have been a number of ruméts published regard- ing the name of the machine, most of them having it Edison, in honor of Thomas A. Edison, close friend of the manufacturer, “Most of these rumors” he said, “have been misleading.. There’s the matter of price, for example. We sant pula tole er Ford oe se a price, but we ce! re not aban- doning the low wr Freed fi eld.” Referring le war rumor with the aatomabia” ti industry, Mr. Le’ continued: ‘e have no desire to take busi- ness away from any automobile ipso facturer.

At the same time, wheat also has \had parasites to contend with and! is not filling out up to expectations. He declared that many oat fields in eer Minnesota will not fulfill exnectations of 10 days ago due to the rapid Maxsnaracinn ote tie crop brought about by the rust. Novice Errs “From reports from trained ob- servers and personal observation, we find that moderately large crop pros- pects have been reduced materially within the past few days. All those outside of agriculture, who make esti- mates on crop production, do so with the idea that a large crop will bring the farmer larger returns. “The novice should know that thi is incorrect. Large production lac much of being an assurance of large returns to the producer. “Those outside of agriculture en- gaged in handling this crop. because of the fixed price, either by law or combination, profit by a large yield, but the farmer because of the pecul- iar situation in which he is placed over and over ae in takes less for his large prodyction than for a smaller crop. Because of the con- tinued falling of prices, caused very largely by false reports—either in- tentionally or ignorantly circulated true situation should be —the known.” Weather conditions us North Prise kota points for the 24 hours ending at 7 a. m. toda; pipet eh q est yesterday Lowest ast night Precipitation to 7 a.

Radressing her followers from the pulpit last night, the woman evan- gelist refused to submit to the demand | ‘of the branch churches by declaring themselves. At the same time she announced that the courts would not be resorte: to in the move to settle the dispute. Mrs. Kennedy, she said, had agreed not to resort to litigation. Legal Point Argued The bone of contention is whether Emma Schaffer, secretary, companion and staunch supporter of the ¢ gelist, is legally a trustee of the Echo Park ‘Evangelical Association, which owns the church and its holdings, valued at severul hundred thousand dollars. McPherson Al Mrs. contends Schaffer is a trustee. Her m holds that she and the evangelist are the only legal trustees, the third having died, In spite of her re- moval as business manager, Mrs. Ken- nedy still is one of the trustees. The members meeting, failed to clear definitely the question of Mrs. McPherson's future relationship with the temple, The evangelist first had declared that she intended to give up the pastorate, perhaps within three weeks, and later said she intended to remain in control with an associate pastor in| Chicago while she carried on her plan or a world-wide tanga move- ment.

Due to unfavorable weather early in the season, the rust did not develop very rapidly. Samples of rye and durum wheat the bushes were examined by EC, Stakman, of St. Paul, world rust authority, and he pronounced the rye as by far the most heavily infested that he had seen in the fields of several states this year.

There is a growing opinion that a-public session, ith fireworks” by both British and American delegates might do harm. The talk of adjournment is due to the apparently irreconcilable nature of the British and Amer- ican views on how naval arma- ments should be limited. The Amcricans advocate liberty of ac- tion. to construct cruisers armed with eight inch guns within the limits of the total cruiser ton- nage allowed. The British seek to have definite sizes of creiners made obligatory. There is some doubt as to whether the British delegates would consent to adjournment of the conference without having an cpportunity to stake their views again in a public session. Geneva, Switzerland, July 30.—(@)— Although the British and American delegations to the naval reduction conference apparently are as far apart ever on the knotty 8-inch gun ser problem, the feeling persi that if a break in the confere inevitable, it will be effected without hard words being used on either side. The Japanese e shown anx that if the conference adjourns with- out reaching an agreement, nothing should be said at the final public ses- sion which might engender misunder- standing between the powers con- cerned, but the qpinion has been given that Japanese intervention will not be needed to tone down the con- was near a hedge of Jarge common'!cluding declarations of the American NO SETTLEMENT NEAR jharberry and in the opinion of local and British. Look for Miracle All. eyes. appear . to. ba, turned_an... Washington to learn whether any-~ thing will develop to change the stand of Hugh S. Gibson, chief American delegate, that the latest British plan for a treaty on cruisers, destroyers and submarines was unacceptable, but there is no mistaking the feeling that only a miracle before the plenary session set for Monday, can save the conference. British circles have indicated that the British might be disposed to dis- cuss any American proposal for a certain number of 8-inch gun cruisers for the United States, besides those permitted under the British plan. Nothing came of this and the idea was not even transmitted formally to the American delegation. The Amer- icans are known to be particularly dissatisfied with the concluding para- graph of the latest British proposal. es Discussion This clause, which is understood to provide latitude for transferring tonnage from one category of war- ships to another, has been described in American quarters as likely to lead to competitive construction, — the thing the conference was supposed to prevent. The chief Japanese delegate, Ad- miral Saito, has booked passage on a Japunese steamship sailing from Naples for Tokyo, August 15.
