B. Kapplin, Duluth, Abpea com- mander of the Minnesota depart- ment of the American Legion for the coming year at the annual conven- tiop here today completing the ses- sins of the ex-service men’s meeting. His opponent for the commander- ship was Oscar Youngdahl, Minne- apolis, who when balloting was ap- proximately 80 per cent completed conceded defeat and moved that Kapplin’s election be made unanim- ous. Announcement of winners and presentation of prizes for the best showing in the annual parade and contests yesterday also was scheduled today. More than 1,500 persons par- ticipated in the attraction and it re- quired nearly an hour for the march- ers to pass a given point. The chief legislation of the conven- tion was wound up yesterday with adoption of a resolution urging the next legislature to enact a law legaliz- ing state-wide boxing instead of con- fining the sport to the three larger cities. Urge New Fishing Scason The proposed bill would provide for establishment of a five man boxing commission with a salaried commis- sioner devoting his entire time to its supervision. It also would permit 15 round bouts instead of limiting them to 10 as now. Legislative planks approved and which the legion will back at the next session, included: A request to change the date of the opening of the fishing season each year from May 30 to June 1, so that Memorial day might be observed at home. Requesting an appropriation of $150 per year for each war orphan, Sons and daughters of men killed in ac- tion or who died from other causes while in World war service, to be paid to educational institutions for their tuition and other educational help. Motion made by the resolutions committee which were adopted in- cluded: Want General Poppy Day Recommendations to the Fort Snelling veterans hospital suggesting erection of a rest cottage for the comfort of relatives of patients dur- Ing visits there. Urging a uniform date for obser- vance of Poppy day in the state and also when possible later, in the na- tion. Extension of thanks to the North Dakota Legion department for hav- ing given its approval with that of Minnesota to a recommendation that the Mayo clinic at Rochester be used as a diagnostic center for veterans bureau activities. The aeronautics committee recom- mended a separate division for avia- tion corresponding to the war and navy secretaryships be set up which was adopted by the convention. The convention adopted a report of its committee on national defense in which it protested that the present United States standing army has been “reduced below the point of safety;” asking that further reduc- tion of the navy should not be at- tempted and urging the strengthening of naval bases in outlying portions of the world. , HE RULES INTEREST RATES UP TO BANKS Attorney General Morris Holds That Repeal of Guaranty Act Brings Change The statute giving the Guaranty Fund commission authority to limit rates of interests which state banks may pay on deposits became inopera- tive as a result of repeal of the Guar- anty act, according to an opinion is- sued by Attorney General: James Morris. . Morris ruled in the matter at the request of A. M. Brant, Watford City, who, asked “whether, after th: com- mission is dissolved next September, the banks may use their own judg- ment as to the rate of interest they tan pay on deposits.” The statute provided for a fiuctu- ating limit of interest rates subject to the action of the depositors’ guar- anty fund commission within the limits of 4 and 6 per cent, both in- clusive. The dissolution of the guaranty fund commission removes from ex- istence the commission having con- trol over the interest rates under the statute, the attorney general said. “It also removes from existence the} guaranty fund, for the benefit of which the interest rate limit was pro- vided,” the opinion stated. The supreme court has ruled, Mor- ris pointed out, that a provision in a depositors’ guaranty law limiting rates of intergst than banks shall be permitted to pay on deposits “can be inserted for but one object, the pro- tection of the guaranty fund against the consequences of loose banking methods.” Section 5220b12, 1925 Supplment to the provision of a limitation of in- terest, was repealed when the voters on referendum at the June 25 pri- mary repealed the guaranty fund act, soe said. The repeal is now in effect. Scranton Not Able To Talk of Crimes Aberdeen, 8. D., Aug. 6.—(?)—Mel- vin Scranton, bandit wounded in the Glencross bank robbery in which two of his accom were killed, was questioned in a Mobridge hospital by G. K.

Four months after enumerators en- tered the field, Associated Press bu- | reaus completed this first country-| wide compilation from official an-| nouncements of supervisors. The to-| tal figure contains an estimate for | one Pennsylvania township, returns | from whith are not complete, but are, calculated by census officials at/ 1,319. | Outlying possessions add 14.772,688, | making a grand total of 137,501,561. The total population increase of | the 48 states and the District of Col- umbia was 17,018,253. ‘The percentage of increase over the last census was 16 per cent. The two states topping the list in numerical gain were: New York, H an increase of 2,224,328; and Callfor- | nia, with an increase of 2,215,421. | Three others gained more than a million each: Michigan 1,149,959; | Texas 1,147,455; and Illinois, 1,145,003. Only one, Montana, showed de-/| crease—a loss of 15,310 people’in the ten years. California was the fastest-growing state—a 64.6 per cent gain. Florida was her only close contender—in- creasing by 51.4 per cent, The Pacific states proved the fast- est-growing geographical division, Washington, Oregon, and California averaging a 46.4 per cent increase. The “center of population,” myth- ical balance point, located near) Whitehall, Indiana, in 1920, was pulled west and south by the west coast increment. Just how far, the census experts have yet to figure out. By the new totals, 20 states prob- ably will lose representatives in con- | gress, while ten states will gain them.+ The just-completed census showed | this country, to be more citified than ever before.

WHEAT AGAIN SEES THE DOLLAR PRICE: Chicago Grain Pit Again Shows | Scenes of Enthusiasm and Corn Also Jumps Chicago, Aug. 6.—(#)—Bullish en- thusiasm returned to the grain pits today for the first time in many weeks and prices soared, wheat gain- ing from 5 to 614 cents a bushel over CAN Sui i AROUND | AA UNDER WATER AN* SNAP AT Fist witd MY HANDS A last minute effort to obtain suf- ficient signatures on a petition to initiate a measure memorializing congress to modify the prohibition laws was being made today. Whether petitions containing enough names to initiate the proposal would be available before the office of the secretary of state closed today appeared uncertain. The deadline! for filing the petitions is 5 p. m. today. J. A, Danielson of Minot, represen- tative of the supporters of the pro- posal, said he obtained sufficient names, but that many lacked the necessary affidavit stating the sig- natures had been witnessed. On a number of other petitions, the affi- davit apeared to be defective, he said. Petitions have been arriving on every train today, Danielson declared, and he hoped that by late afternoon there would be enough names to take the place of those which are not reg- | ular in form. The petitions will be submitted to the secretary of state, Danielson said, | regardless of form. He stated he had the required 10,000 signatures but realized some of these would not be acceptable, Can't Get Affidavits The greatest difficulty encountered, Danielson stated, was in obtaining affidavits. A previous petition to initiate a measure for the repeal of the state Prohibition laws, also lacked many | affidavits. This petition, although containing more: than the required 20,000 names, was rejected by the secretary of state on the ground that it was defective. Secretary of State Robert Byrne held that the petition- ers did not meet the requirement of the law providing that each individual Petition must be accompanied by an affidavit. Mandamus proceedings are now Pending in the state supreme court to compel the secretary of state to av- cept the first petition. The commit- tee of Petitioners contend the statute requiring affidavits constitute an ob- struction to the initiative law. Danielson said that approximately 9,000 signatures were available on the petition for the memorial proposal. had widened its price 1.@1 over wheat to 4% cents. September wheat. finished at 96% to % and December at $1.02% to %, while corn for September stopped at $1.01% and December at 97% to % cents. Trading nearly reached the riot stage at midsession as corn and wheat prices leaped forward and buyers found offerings scant. The public interest in the market had doubled overnight. Inspired by the procession of official and private estimates of drought damage to corn, growing hourly, to these reports today were added predictions from Sas- katchewan that many thousands of acres of Canadian spring wheat would 'mever be harvested because of severe damage from rust. At times the trad- ing was so swift that\ quotations varied a cent or more in separate sections of the pit.

The firemen were called and soon extinguished the blaze, but meahwhile |it had ruined the interior of the car and burned the top off. Mr. Keniston has no idea what caused the fire. PREDICT FEWER SHEEP | Washington, Aug. 6.—()—A con- | siderable reduction in the number of sheep in the United States and abroad during the next two or three |years was forecast today by the de- |partment of agriculture, which said | this decrease would improve the sheep | and wool industries. The western sheep grower was said to be in a “very difficult” position at the pfesent time, partially because of | the drought which had reduced the | amount of available feed.

WANTS GRAND JURY FOR BUCKLEY PROBE Detroit Prosecuting Attorney Asks Unusual Procedure to * Clear Crime Situation The Critics Are Right “Ladies of Leisure” “Is one of those wonder pictures.’ Detroit, Aug. 6—(P)—James E.) Chenot, prosecuting attorney, an-| nounced today that a petition for a. 23-man grand jury to investigate the | slaying of Jerry Buckley, radio speak- | er, will be presented to circuit court tomorrow, | Chenot said the petition would be | “self-explanatory.” Besides going in- | to all the ramifications of the killing of Buckley in the La Salle hotel July | 23, the investigation also is expected | to take up the dozen gang killings | which preceded that of the radio po- litical commentator. He added that the petition would be | so worded as to cover “any crimes | and misdemeanors that have been} comitted or are being committed.” | Investigation by a grand jury of citizens is an unusual procedure in Michigan, which has eliminated the grand jury as a part of court routine.
