Faag, who sas fed every presi- one day about 20 years ago in San Jose, California. Leaving the executive mansion, Fagg commented on the famous men he had served: “McKinley was the easiest to please, the most delicate about his eating; | Lake Roosevelt was the hardest to feed. “Coolidge minced,” Faag said, eating, “—@ light eater, a very light Hoover had stopped enroute to Palo Alto. Mr. Hoover had gone into the dining room to satisfy himself that his son’s food was healthful. The steward had reassured him. So Fagg left the executive office with satisfaction. “I don’t know about Mr. Hoover's .” he said. “I never then, that he would be president.” the various presidents he had served at different hotels the steward mentioned especially McKin- ley and Taft. “Many a huckleberry pie I sent to President McKinley; he loved it.” The steward served this president on ‘Once, Teddy Roose- elt, then governor of New York, was at the same hotel. . ‘Taft ate more than any other man I ever fed,” said the stews “and s| was frank and jovial about it.” He recalled that when Taft went to Charleston for the launching of the battleship South Carolina, he catered to the president's taste for baked ham by baking two of them in Madeira.

A. F. Oppel, deputy state forester. said all the fires were under control by 3,000 forestry men, game wardens and extra fire fighters, but that con- ditions “are just as serious” as they were Thursday. The forestry department's greatest fear, Oppel said, is of strong winds, which would sweep the fires from out of control. For the first time this year, an am- phibian plane was used today in the northern lake country to check re- ports of a heavy smoke in the north- ern section near Frazier. The plane was loaned by the gov- ernment men to the, state forest ranger at Towe. Three men were sent in the plane, carrying a canoe, to investigate smoke reports. No further word had been heard at noon on the fire report there. If the fire is of any size, two of the men will be left to battle the flames, while the plane will come back for more aid. The canoe, carried by the plane, is an especially equipped one for amphibians, used by the federal forestry service. A number of smaller fires also were reported in Lake of the Woods county north of the Canadian National l- way tracks. The fire fighters continued to hold in check ‘hree fires which had cov- ered large areas tn St. Louis, and Aitkin counties and near Guthrie, south of Bemidji. The St. Louis county fire burning near Duluth, has guessed,| sembly, and W. G. Fulton, physical 1 covered approximately 700 acres. The Aitkin county blaze, near Ait- kin, has burned over nearly 4,000 {acres of land including corners of Crow Wing and Cass counties The Guthrie fire which was reported \Thursday to the forestry department ‘headquarters has burned over 2,000 j acres.

The speaker pointed to coopera- tion between farmer and business man as the only solution to the pres- ent farm problem and pointed out that labor, through unions, has bet- tered its position by cooperating with the employer. “If we don’t all hang together, we'll all hang separately,” he said in closing.

Ruggles, Multimil- lionaire Who Scorned City Life, Dead in Michigan Manistee, Mich. Aug. 22.—(P)— Death came last night to Charles F. Ruggles, the last of the Michigan lumber barons, and found him in a plain little room where he hud lived for years, preparing his own meals, scrubbing the floors and spending hours over kettles in whith he made candy for distribution to children at Christmas time. Ruggles, at 84, died a multi-million- aire, but there was l'ttle difference in his mode of life during his last days from that of his youth when he saw and seized the opportunities in north- ern Michigan's virgin forests. When his contemporaries in the industry went to the cities years ago and built fine homes, he remained behind, liv- ing as he always had ‘ived, wearing moccasins and a lumberjack shirt, with no necktie beneath his long white He and his two companions never | beard. had been seen or heard of since. The expedition which found Andree’s body reported algo the finding of the body of one of his companions. Both were fully dressed and well preserved. The explorer, born in Grenna, Oct. 18, 1854, is believed to have perished within a very short time after the take-off for the north. His compan- jons, K. Frankel and N. Strindberg, doubtlessly perished with him but today’s dispatches, coming from the expedition aboard the steamer Brat- tvaag did not say which was found with him. : For years there have been periodic rumors that the balloon had been found in Siberia or that messages purporting to be from Andree had been washed ashore upon northern coasts.

Nine hack- saw blades were found in the cell. Nearby prisoners professed to have no knowledge of the escape. ‘When’ lumbering passed out in Michigan, he turned to sal: manu- facturing and until last Saturday, when he was stricken ill, was active every work day. He bought ‘n‘o the lumber industry in othe: states— Minnesota, the Carolinas, Florida, California and much of the huge es- tate he left behind is represented in these holdines. Ruggles was born in Bangor. Maine, on March 3, 1846. His parents took him to Oshkosh, Wis., where ne worked in @ match factory as a youth. The fam- ily moved to Manistee because the youth was suffering from phosphorous poisoning from matches, and a physi- clan recommended out door life.

Lawyers They Have Responsibility of Chicago, Aug. 22—()—The nation’s greatest need, in the opinion of its chief justice, is improvement in the administration of justice, especially of the criminal law. Chief Justice Charles Evans Hughes, addressing the 53rd annual meeting of the American Bar associ: ation, last night warned the country’s lawyers they could not escape “special responsibility” in bringing about this improvement. “A quickened bar, alert to its power and responsibility, can secure honest, able and fearless prosecuting officers, magistrates and judges.” he said. “Our government is one of laws through men, and most of our prob- lems in the administration of the criminal law could be salved by the selection of competent men, free from the corrupting influences of fear and favor.” The chief justice’s address, which was a welcome one to the foreign guests of the Bar association, was heard by a nationwide radio audience as well 25 the thousands who dacked the civic opera house. Mr. Hughes greeted the visitors from other coun- Securing Justice tries as “collaborators in the greatest of human causes, the cause of ® just peace.” Concerning the administration of criminal law, Chief Justice Hughes said: “More important than uniform laws, or mere changes in procedural details, more necessary than any statement of the law, is the fostering of respect for law itself, and the maintenance of the primary safe- guards of life and property against organized criminal assaults, against the debauching of our institutions by the capitalization of crime. “Most essential is the robust senti- ment which, regardless of the differ- ences of political parties and policies, demands purity and competerce in official action, without which all democratic efforts are futile.” The chief justice said encroach- ments upon state authority should be resisted “with the same intelligent determination as that which demands that the national authority should be fullyexercised tomeetnational needs,” This, he said, is a responsibility that rests in the people, in the sense of in- |dividual civic responsibility. are being taken to form eight sub-/| ATTORNEY GENERAL (CALLS SESSIONS OF | ND. PEACE OFFICERS Morris Acts on Governor’s Plan to Break Up Bank Ban- ditry in State SUGGESTS PURSUIT SQUADS First Meeting to Be Held at Val- ley City, With Others Fol- lowing Each Day Plans for a series of conferences to combat crime in North Dakota as suggested by Governor George F. Shafer were announced today by At- torney General James Morris. Morris today sent letters to every Sheriff and state's attorney in the state outlying the purpose of the meetings which are to be held at six Points in the state. He urged chiefs ot police also to attend the sessions. Adjutant General G. A. Fraser and Charles Simon, assistant ‘attorney general, will take charge of the meet- ings, Morris said. A suggestion that each community arrange for a pursuit car, well equip- ped with arms and ammunition, to be held in readiness in the event of holdups, will be placed before the Peace officers. May Restrict Parking Another suggestion to be made is to restrict parking in front of banks. Morris said that this would direct suspicion toward any car stopping in front of a bank. If bandits parked away from the bank, he said, they would be put at a disadvantage in making a getaway. Officials will be urged to exercise every precaution to avoid injuring citizens during bandit chases. Mr. Morris said that although every effort should be made to apprehend crim- inals, nothing should be done to en- danger the lives of innocent persons, Firearms should be placed in the hands of only competent persons, he said, and this phase will be stressed at the conferences. The first crime prevention meeting will be held at Valley City Monday. The others are to be conducted at Grand Forks Tuesday; Devils Lake Wednesday; Minot Thursday; Bis- a Friday and Dickinson Satur- lay. Meet at Nearest Place Officials from counties closest to the seat of the meeting place wiil gather at each point.

I would request that you get in communica- tion with all chiefs of police in your county and if possible secure their attendance also.” Tells Officers Not To Raid Illegally Washington, Ang. 22—()—Police- |men were warned by Superintendent \Pratt of the Washington force today that illegal liquor raids on homes in future will result in prosecution for the offending officers.
