Lenhart, lunch to add spice to their three- day stay. President Hong responded and then the convention went into memorial session. F. C.

This town was one of the worst stricken spots and pre- sented today a scene of havoc and devastation after a night of terror from constant detonations and carth tremors.

The areas below the gorge will be flooded if the rock dams break, as it is feared DRUG TRAFFIC MAY BE NEW HK ANGLE Columbus, Ohio, Federal authorities were drawn into the Theora Hix slaying today when Assistant United States District At- June 18.—(P)— ‘and |torney Bartels announced he would start an investigation to determine if traffic in narcotics formed a back- ground for the slaying.

His speech was as follows: “Be the merits or demerits of gov- ernment what they may, I claim one which will not be disputed. We lost no time in getting into harness. We, at any rate, take no easy complacent view of the needs of the nation. I have made it clear before and dur- ing the election that I put our rela. tions with the United States in the forefront in national concern. As regards them, we have not let the grass grow under our feet. Tells of Meeting “General Dawes, the new ambassa- dor, has been good enough to take a long journey here to see me and have a talk with me about them. He saw some of the beauties of Morayshire. He heard some of its historical stories and I hope these were in part at any rate, a recom- pense for his weariness of body. “We found each other taking the same general views on world peace. The hands we clasped were not cold with official correctness, but warm with a friendship inspired by com- mon enthusiasm for service in the cause of international good will and common sense. “We did not meet to threaten oth- er nations, to dominate other peo- ples, nor indeed did we meet to form alliances and pacts. We had no in- tention of presenting to the other nations an accomplished fact tay can take or leave. A more genial, humane and democratic spirit than that was in Logie house last Sunday afternoon. We met, inspired by the hope that we might be instrumental in preparing & foerd’ round which other nations might ultimately sit «Continued on page six) Exposition Opens Wednesday With Speediest Horseflesh in Northwest Ready VAUDEVILLE IS EXCELLENT Free Attractions, Midway Shows and Rides, Exhibits At- tracting Thousands Wednesday Bismarck inaugurates North Dakota's fair season.
