STATE LEADERS SEE RETURN TO PARTY LINES State Banks and Trust Companies Make Fine Showing CONDITION | fy BEST IN LAST DECADE PERIOD State Bank Examiner Sees Business Improvement in Consolidated Statement SAVINGS LIST GROWS Improved Banking Reflected by Fiseal Year Figures; Consolidations Seen State banks and trust companies | operating under state charters are in better condition now than at any Previous period for 10 vears, Gilbert Semingson, state bank examiner, said today. Semingson bases his opinion upon data contained in the consolidated report of the conditio:. of all state banks and trust companies as of June 30, ilable here today. “Examination of these Sigur shows that the state banks generally have their affairs in such shape that Tan could successfully withstand a bad crop year,” Semingson_ said. “Instead of that we are going to have a good crop year, and this should put the banks of the state in the best condition in their his- tory. “As compared with a year ago, the cash reserves are higher, liquid assets in the form of government issues, stocks and banks have been increased, real estate holdings have been decreased, and loans and dis- counts have been reduced tremen- dously.” Better Banking Seen This situation, he said. reflects the increasing ability of borrowers to pay loans made ' y the banks, and improved banking directed toward the end that each it have plenty of cash current needs of its community. Banks now are carrying only good commercial paper, which is easily collectible, rather than a large sum in loans of doubtful value, as was the case several years ago. Increasing confidence by the pub- lic in the business outlook for North Dakota is reflected, subject to check. This ite. on the consolidated statement, now stands at $23,056,453.03. A year ago it was $22,078.812.25, an? last Decem- ber it was $26,974,517.07. The increase from June to De- ccmber, 1927, reflected the effect on finances of last year's xood crop, Semingson explained. Since Decem- ber, however, $3,918,063.°) kas been withdrawn from these accounts, and all of this money hes gone into business ventures in North Dakota. Some of it has gone into Daillens into new commercial and mani turing ventures, and into ant quisition of land. Business Outlook Good The consolidated bank statement this June shows that real estate valued at $769,104.16 has been sold by banks since last June, and $249,- 750.04 since last Decem! The statement combines reports from 350 banks and three trust companies. That for December i cluded reports from 368 banks, for June, 1927, it included repor from 386 banks.

ANTHONY YOLK HURLS LINTON Bismarck Lion Tamers Under Batting Barrage to Lose, 19-2 Fat kids, slim kids, short kids, tall and stole 32 bases in a grim effort to drive scorekeepers and umpires frantic at the Bismarck athletic field | last night. At the end of nine hard-fough? in- nings, certified public accountants with the aid of calculating and add- ing machines concluded that Linton’s -| junior team had defeated the Bis- marck Lion Tamers 19 to 2. Ninety-four batters went to the plate in two hours and 20 minutes. The Linton club will mect the Harvey boys’ team at the Bismarck athletic field at 4 p. m. today for the district championship and the right Minot Saturday and Sunday. Har- vey defeated Heaton in an elimina- tion game at Harvey last night, Volk Has Future Anthony Volk, 16-year-old Linton hurler, was the most impressive layer on the diamond, allowing Birarck batsmen only eight hits, striking out 12, getting three hits including a triple in six attempts, and scoring three runs. Next to Tony came Bob Larson, Bismarck’s hurler. Bob scored Bis- marck’s only two scores, Fitting safely twice in five chances. Bob stole three bases and poled out his team’s first two-baser. Fogle, Linton shortstop, proved the best sticker in the contest, hit- ting safely five times in six trips to the platter. Linton Had Edge Linton outclassed the Bismarck boys slightly in every department of play, but they didn't outfight the capital boys. The Lion Tamers fought every inch of the way. visiting team showed that Linton has taken more interest in the American Legion junior base- ball innovation. The Lintonites also showed that they had practiced much more than the home youngsters. A dozen errors made by the Bis- marck tea in critical points prac- tically gave Linton the game. a ey youngster on the field gave very good account of himself in tie an game, however, anJ it is prob- able that some big league stars will be developed in some future day from the eager clans that gave the interesting exhibition last night.

Michael “Go-get-'em” Hughes, re-| ferred.to by the mayor as the “Lest} crook catcher in the world,” last, night admitted his resignation had) been in the hands of the mayor for some weeks. At different times in the past, reports of Hughes’ resigna- tion have been denied promptly by the mayor. Ill health was given as the reason for the resignation, bus it was re- ported that corporation counsel E! telson had demanded it at the re- quest of the mayor. Hughes, who was recovering £: an operation for the removal tonsils, at first doubted the sincer- ity of the demand, saying he had heard nothing but praise from Mayor Thompson, Later with a trace of emotion in his voice, he said: “All right, if the mayor wants my resignation, he can have it.” A. letter of resignation alread drafted was handed to him and with a pen borrowed from a nuvse, the commissioger signed his name.

The first was called the biggest social problem confronting the na- ‘ion today in the annual address de- ered yesterday by Silas H. Strawn of Chicago, president. Despite this ranking, prohibition should remain a non-political issue, he declared. Plunging into a_ sociological dis- cussion of crime, Mr. Strawn linked its increase in the nation with scie1 tifie advance, increase in the na- tion’s wealth, bootlegging, lax pub- lic spirit and legal loopholes. Arthur V. Lashley, an investiga- tor for the criminal law and crim- inology section, called for repeal or enforcement of prohibition laws to reduce crime. While Mr. Strawn believed the constitution should be obeyed en- forced or amended, he flatly de- clared against nullification. The eighteenth amendment, he said, was the only constitutional addition ever to have been the subject of a direct continuing attack. Weighing carefully the reported benefits of prohibition against the evils chargeable to bootlegging, Mr. Strawn left with his hearers the pic- ture of increased efficiency in in- dustry, and improved welfare of the laboring classes as comparable to increased violence and crime in the cities, and growing disregard, espe- cially among young people, for ex- isting laws. Motor Figures Show German Prosperity Berlin, July 26.—(”)—High tide of prosperity in Germany is indicated in figures just published by the Ger- man League for Automobile Trade showing that the demand for motor Gant Berlin exceeds the supply by 17,000.

The Archbishop of York (the i Most Rev. Cosmo Gordon Lang) will succeed him. There was speculation today as to whether the resignation would hasten disestablishment of the Church of England. For -many years a sroup, usually composed of Anglo-Cathol 8, has been working to cut church from the state. They believe it will have a new, lease of life if it stands alone on its own feet without the assistance and Eupout the interference of the si Disestablishment, however, is a ¥ DUE TO PRAYER BOOK DISPUTE revolutionary step.

NEIL (Associated Press Sports Writer) New York, July 26.—(AP)- Lazily and with little outward show of interest, New York turned today to the first heavyweight champior- ship match within its boundarics in five years. In Madison Square Garden an anx ious promoter, already perturbed at the possibility of a financial loss, shivered at the thought that an air- plane might not arrive. For it was through the air that Gene Tunney, of Greenwich Vi'laz first heavyweight champion ev bred by the sidewalks of New Yor' chose to return to his native city for his 15-round joust with Tom Heeney, the gentle New Zealand blacksmith, in the Yankee stadium tonight. It was a manner of ap- proach from Speculator, N. Y., b fitting a champion who has every other tradition of the rin; Tex Rickard, the promoter, knew just where he could find the chal- lenger. The finest heavyweight Great Britain has produced since Ruby Robert Fitzsimmons awaited the call to battle on board the yacht of a friend. There was no flying for him from Fair Haven, his tratn- ing camp on the Jersey coast. Excitement Nil Around the city, greatest of the country’s fight centers, there was little excitement over the impending struggle for the most prized of fistiana’s crowns. So few were the wagers recorded on the match itself that it was dif- ficult determining the exact odds. Bets of 3 to 1 that Tunney would retain his title were mentioned but no one seemed to have seen any money change hands. Persons close to Madison Square Garden finances saw little hope that the match would draw over $700,000 worth of customers into the stadium | tonight. What with expenses running close to $700,000 including a guarantee of $525,000 to Tunney and another of $100,000 to Heeney, a gate of $1,200,000 inclusive of taxes ap- peared necessary to pull Rickard out of the “red.” Out of every dollar pushed through the windows of his ox offices, the promoter must turn over to the federal government 25 cents in taxes, the state government five cents, and the Yankee stadium 10 cents for rental. Dempsey to Second Influenced, probably, by the stolid- ity of his usually avid customers Rickard today called for assistance from Jack Dempsey, the never-fail- ing box office lure and the man who drew the first—and possibly the last —million dollar gates. Although it was probably just the final blast of the ballyhoo, the former chanipion, twice whipped by Tunney, decided to apply for a second’s license before the New York state athletic commis- sion today so that he migtt coach Heeney on to victory tonight. Clear, cool weather was forecast for the day and night with no hint of rain that has spoiled dozens of outdoor shows this summer in the northeast breezes forecast. The main bout is scheduled to go on at 10 p. m. eastern daylight time. Tom will be at a distinct disad- vantage in height and reach to add to the difficulties of a defense that consists chiefly of plngeize. steadily forward, head and body unprotected, but with both arms swinging. Against a fighter of that type, Tun- ney, a perfect sharpshooter and the finest counter puncher the heavy- weight division ever has seen, is in his element. 8 SNATCH PAIRS IN ASSOCIATION Chicago, July 26.—(AP)—Erratic playing on the part of the Columbus mators enabled St. Paul to take both games of a twin bill, scores of 5 to 4 and 13 to The making.

Hussey, who built a lit-| erary reputation some yearr ago when he pioneered in the field of the psychological and sophisticated story, now finds himself a figure in an equally strange situation. His wife, Dr. Virginia Hussey (top), walked into the police station at Norristown, Pa., and anncunced she had killed her husband (center) and Mrs. Grace Tetlow Sauveur (below), daughter of a millionaire Philadel- phia perfumer. “er story, graphic | in every detail, appeared authentic until police visited the purported scene, only to find no trac: of a tragedy. Concluding that the wife had become victim of hallucinations, due to jealous worry, a hunt was started for the husband and alleged “other woman.’ They were located in a summer colony at Sergeantville, . and were taken into custody, the wife charging Hussey with non- support and violation of utory law, while Mrs, Sauveur held for questioning in connection vith | charges of intimacy with the writer. | CRACKS UP AS FLIGHT STARTS ‘Greater Rockford’s’ Proposed t Flight to Steckholm Is Postponed Rockford, Ill., July 26—(AP)— “Greater Rockford’s” proposed flight to Stockholm, Sweden, was tempor- arily if not permanently postponed today. After getting away to a perfect start at dawn on its projected flight, the monoplane made a forced land- ing’ 26 minutes later in a cornfield six miles from the airport and on the opposite side of the Rock river from the take-off. A wing was cracked and other damage done as a result of the land- ing caused, the pilots said, by too heavy a load with resulting mabili ity, to gain altitude. As a result future plans for the flight today were in- definite. With the plane lying nose down, its engine in the ground and the left wing ruined, six miles west of Rock- ford, pilots Bert Hassell and Parker Cramer were taken back to the air- port following their successful take- due they said to excessive weight and loggy air conditions. Neither sell nor Cramer was hurt when forced to alight in a corn- field 26 minutes after they hopped off at 4:49 a ell declared he would try it » but it was believed another attempt, even if thé plane were re- paired, would be out of day question, and flight in a new Die ine was con- sidered exceedingly doubtful.

Before landing they tried to urge the plane upward, but without success. | Nelson Kelly, jtion was cal’ -d CONFERENCES HERETO SHAPE FALL ELECTION Democrats Ready to Make Strong Bid for Vote of State’s Farmers LEAGUERS ARE ACTIVE Republican , Leadership Coun, sels Verdict of June Pri- maries Be Accepted North Dakota will go back to straight party lines on,state affairs in its fall election campaign. That was the prospect seen today by political leaders of all groups gathered in Bismarck for confers preliminary to making plang t their case to the state's Among those in the city were Fred Graham, state Republican chairman and national committeeman of his party from North Dakota, and J. Democratic national committeeman. Roy Frazier, chair- man of the evecutive committee of the Nonpartisan league, was expect- ed in the city late today, to make plans for the convention cf the Non- partisan league, which will get under way next Monday morning at thé auditorium in Jamestown at 10 o'clock. The league convention is called ta consider what the future action of that group will be. It will be made up of the same delegates who: at- tended the convention in Bismarck last March. Indications were that jit will be largely attended. Graham Noncommittal Judge Graham, national Republi« can committeeman, said he had no statement to make at this time. He is preparing to attend a meeting of western members of the national Republican committee at Chicago August 4. Mrs. Minnie D. Craig, member of the stete Republican come mittee, is also expected to attend. Judge Graham declined to forecast probable action 0” the convention. He said he will have nothing to say until he has thoroughly gone over the situation in the stzte, and until the delegates to Jamestown have indicated what policies they want the league as an organization to pursue, and how active they will be in the coming campaign. Graham is a staunch Republican who has al- ways affiliated with the Nonpartisan league and has been in the forefront of many of its most spectacular battles. Congressmen on Record In advance of the Jamestown meeting it wag known that Con- gressman J. H. Sinclair and Senator Frazier will be among those present. Both were committed in a recent ine terview in Minot to supnort of Her« bert Hoover. Sinclair is expected to be active to this end at Jamestown, He takes the position that league Republicans have nothing to gain by making a fight in the state on the party nominee or any of the nome inees on the state ticket at this time, according to statements made by those who are close to him. Both Sinclair and Frazier are exe pected to oppose any effort of the league to bolt the verdict of the June primaries.
