Meeting FAIR HAS GREATEST CROWD Farm Board Head Doesn't Ap- prove of ‘Hold Your Wheat’ Policy, However Fargo, N. D., July 1%.—()—Alexan- der H. Legge day at the North Dakota state fair attracted throngs of citizens from many sections of this and neighboring states to Fargo today and early indications were for one of the greatest crowds in the history of the exposition here. ‘The grand stand bleachers at the fair grounds began to fill early for the afternoon racing and vaudeville program. North Dakota farmers probably will have to store a considerable amount of their wheat on their farms this year, if the market is not to be ae and the price adversely affect- This was the underlying thought of a conference held at.the North Da- kota Agricultural college today, called to determine whether the extension division should go into a campaign to urge holding back of wheat. Legge addressed the conference. Other speakers were W. J. Kuhrt, general manager of the Northwest Grain association; P. J. Coleman, Minneapolis, and representatives of various northwest railroads. Mr. Legge, in his address, gave nominal approval to any program that would hold wheat on the farm. While not giving approval to a “hold- your-wheat” policy, Mr. Legge did indicate that any scheme devised by the North Dakota Agricultural college extension division for preventing con- gestion at terminals would have his approval. A. J. Benton, of the.college market- ing staff, presented figures showing the percentage of storage space in North Dakota for rye, wheat and flax in 1926, 1927, and 1928. ‘These figures are not entirely sat- isfactory as a gauge, he said, because they do not take into consideration barley, which is grown to consider- able extent, particularly in the east- ern counties. They are not represent- ative of the present situation, either, he declared and reports indicate a third larger crop than last year, which will make the storage’ situation in the state more critical than the figures indicate. Mr. Kuhrt, whose organization, the Northwest Grain association is affil- jated. with the Farmers National Grain corporation, declared that a number of farmer elevators associat- ed with his group were making pre- Parations to add to storage space. LEGGE TELLS WHY BOARD SEEKS CUT Praises North Dakota Farmers for Helping Farm Body With Its Program Fargo, N. D., July 17.—(#)—Alexan- der Legge, chairman of the federal farm board, arrived in Fargo today to tell North Dakota farmers that they are “doing their part in helping the farm board with its program” and to explain why the board is urging a reduction in annual wheat production. ‘This morning he attended a confer- ence with North Dakota Agricultural college representatives, railroad of- ficials and market men. He told them the southwest crop wou'd not come into the northwest this year, thus eliminating one source of con- gested terminals, and approved any program this conference might devise for keeping wheat back in the in- terior so as to avoid terminal glut- ting. Legge was a guest of local business men at breakfast, addressed an in- formal conference of farmers and at~ tended a luncheon given him by an- other group of business and profes- sional men. At each he informally discussed the farm board's program, laying particular stress on the need of curtailment. An address at the North Dakota State Fair will be given at 4:30 p. m., after which he will leave for Brook- ings, 8. D. POLITICIAN KILLS SELF ‘Wausau, Wis., July 17.—(7)—Walter B.

DRY AGENT KILLS IOWA BOOTLEGGER Claims Victim Failed to Comply With Demand ‘Stick ’em Up!’ When Ordered Hampton, Iowa, July 17.—()}—With One, alleged alcohol runner dead and this man and woman companion held in jail here, county, state and federal officials today began investigating the fatal wounding last night of Harland | eahgae| 35, known as “one armed Peterson was wounded in a gun fight with “Slim”. Skovgaard, an un- dercover agent working out of the office of Sheriff Lee McNames. The sheriff said Peterson was transferring five gallons of alcohol from his au- tomobile to one occupied by officers, who had arranged a “buy” as a means of procuring evidence against him. The transfer was being made on a lonely road near here and the under coverma n, hidden nearby, approach- ed Peterson. “Stick them up! I'm the law,” Sheriff McNames quoted his under cover man as saying.

At least one firefighter lost his life. Hugh Avery, 20, of Mesa, Ariz, died last night of burns received when he was trapped fighting a blaze burning through brush toward Mount Hamil- ton, Pasadena, home of relatives he was visiting. Thunderstorms came to the aid of firefighters in the mountains of east- ern San Diego county, rains putting out several small brush blazes and ending the fire menace at least tem- Porarily. In Kern county, California, a fire which had been controlled broke out again and spread over 4,000 acres of brush and grazing land but finally was checked. Nearly 800 men were holding back three fires in the Deschutes section of central Oregon. NEW QUAKE SHAKES MONTANA The fourth light earthquake in four days was felt last night.

Three Forks, Mont., July 17.—(7)—| newed their SHIFT KILLED AS GAS IS IGNITED San Francisco Engineers Ex- press Belief Fumes Came From Natural Pocket WAS FIRED ACCIDENTALLY Thirteen in Another Part of Huge Project Badly Shaken but Reach Surface Alive Camp Mitchell, Calif., July 17.—() —A gas explosion killed the entire shift of 12 men in a tunnel of the Hetch-Hetchy project, San Francisco's municipal water area, early today. + Engineers said a natural gas pocket probably had been struck in the bor- ing and the gas accidentally ignited. The tunnel drops straight down- ward more than 800 feet from the surface and then branches into a drift to the east and one to the west. Those killed were in the east drift. Thirteen men in the west drift, which goes down about 1,500 feet, were badly shaken and some were gassed but all were brought to the surface. None was seriously hurt. The bodies were recovered but the gas flow soon drove rescuers to the use of masks. W. J. Kinney of Hartford, Wis., re- Ported among those in the east drift, later was found at the surface. He did not go to work on the shift as scheduled, his place having been taken by Patrick Gallagher. Dan Tranar, skip man working at the bottom of the shaft, was hurled 50 feet by the explosion but was not be- leved critically hurt. R. A. Trompo- zynski, who was near Tranar, also was badly shaken. Charles O'Malley, who ascended to the surface just before the explosion, escaped the fate of his co-workers by a hair's breadth. He had barely stepped away from the shaft when the ground quivered from the blast and the shaft belched a great column of smoke. C. R. Rankin, engineer in charge, said the men had been working a serpentine formation of earth yester- day and-had found no trace of gas. Evidence of the presente of gas gen- erally appears in plenty time to take precautions, he said. The bodies of John McNichols, 42, shift boss, and J. C. Maybin, 21, were recovered.
