LAST MONTH BOON FOR LABOR Demand During February for Competent Farm Workers Said More Active Minneapolis, Minn., March 18.—(?) —Demand for competent farm labor in North Dakota was more active dur- ing February due to exceedingly mild weather conditions, according to re- port issued Wednesday by Richard T. Jones, district director here of the federal employment service of the U. &. department of labor. While building tradesmen still are plentiful, the report states, indica- tions are that employment of this class will be somewhat better during the next 30 days. Activity in lignite ¢oal mining declined slightly, but other industries generally are em- Ploying normal quotas for this season. For the Fargo district, the report shows a slight decrease in employ- ment in meat packing houses, but fa- vorable weather conditions resulted in increased calls for general farm labor. ‘There is still a surplus of building tradesmen, but improvement is ex- pected during March and April. Local plants showed no material change since January, but railroads are ex- pected to pares forces soon, ac- cording to Mr. Jt In the Grand a Forks district, the calls for farm help during February was somewhat better than during the previous 30-day period, but plenty of men were to be had. Part-time pre- vails in the flour milling and the ar road industry, but improvement the latter line is anticipated in aie other month. The supply of skilled and unskilled workers was reported HE MURDERED GIRL Note Is Considered Possible Clue Leading to Slayer of 10-Year-Old San Diego, Calif., March 18—()— Criminologists Wednesday examined caked soil from the pages of library books found in a sack near the one in which the body of Virginia Brooks was discovered March 10 for a possi- ble solution of her fiendish slaying. Rex Welch, Los Angeles police chemist, also tested soil found at a deserted shack near where the 10- year-old girl disappeared Feb. 11. Welch said the soil and bits of plants resembled those found in the library books and on the coat the girl wore. Officers also held as a_ possible clue a note shoved under the door of @ gasoline service station near the Brooks home. It was signed “The Doctor” and. read: “I killed Virginia. I have per- formed a perfect crime. I am no de- generate. You will not find me, for T have left no clew. This proves that I am superior.” A San Ysidro doctor who had aroused suspicion by telephoning a garage several times not to let po- lice inspect his car left there for re- Pairs, was questioned. Police, how- ever, placed little credence in the note and another which was unsign- ed, but also confessed the slaying. FOUR CHARGED WITH CONSPIRACY 10 KILL Arrested in Connection With Al- leged Plan to Assassinate Dry Law Men Denver, Mar. 18.—(#)—Four men were held Wednesday in connection with an alleged plot to assassinate three members of the district ees ney’s office, Bi were arrester in raid Tuesday night. Earl Wettengel, district “attorney, said the conspirators contemplated the slaying of Ray Humphreys, chief investigator; Hugh M. We deputy district attorney; and Stanley Maus, an inve: stigator. ‘Wettengel said machine guns had been imported for the proposed tri murder. He said plans for the -slay- ing first were formulated at a “‘boot- leggers’ convention” here last Jan- uary because of activities of his office against liquor merchants. The district attorney said the plan was to lure the three officials to an outlying house on a pretext they could intercept a liquor shipment.

MUST RAISE 200 MILLIONS IN |* LESS THAN MONTH Treasury. Will y Will Need That That Amount to Meet Demands of Vet- eran Certificates jr barber shop in iesnington, "March 18.—(#)—De- mands of World War veterans for loans has thrust before the treasury | the necessity of raising $200,000,000 in less than a month. Likewise, Director Ijams of the vet- erans bureau believes that within a short time loan checks will be going out at the rate of 200,000 weekly, a sharp increase. Secretary Mellon announced Tues- day a request by Veterans Adminis- trator Hines for $500,000,000 to cover payments on 1,372,006 applications re- ceived to March 15. It had been esti- mated $300,000,000 would suffice, and 1 1-2 per cent treasury certificates were issued to get that sum. Hines said, however, the half-billion would be needed by April 11. How the $20,000,000 will be raised was not an- nounced. The veterans administrator also told Secretary Mellon $1,000,000,000 would be required to pay all. Joans. He estimated 75 per cent of the 3,500,000 adjusted compensation cer- tificate holders would take advantage of the opportunity to borrow half the face value of certificates. Hines asserted $90,000,000 would be required this week to meet loans and $100,000,000 weekly for the next three. Since congress overrode the presi- dent's veto and increased the borrow- ing value of certificates, loans have been granted 282,874 veterans for sums totaling $104,035,366. much faster between March 7 and March 15 than the preceding week, with a total of about 160,000 ageinst, 100,000. He expressed the belief 200,- 000 would go out weekly unless “the brakes are applied.” Bureau officials said 1,700,000 vet- erans had borrowed on their certi- \ficates under the former law which | allowed them 22.5 per cent. They de- clined to estimate how many of the 1,372,006 applicants under the new jlaw were “repeaters” although ex- pressing the belief most of them had borrowed in the past. The increased loan value of certi- ficates, Ijams said, has brought more applications for certificates from vet- erans who previously had not sought service. There also have been requeats for disability allowances, CANADIANS PROTEST. JOSEPHINE K APPAR Declare Rum Runner Was More Than Hour’s Sailing Dis- * tance From Shore Washington, March 18.—(#)—A sec- ond major diplomatic problem be- tween the United States and has resulted from prohibition en- forcement efforts of the coast guard.

Racine, Bismarck, was exon- erated of robbery charges when ar- raigned in police court Wednesday rning. Ronald Nickolson, Stewartsdale, had charged Racine with the theft of $38 on the’ night of March 11, but Police Magistrate E. 8. Allen held that there was no evidence to justify | binding the defendant over to the district court.

Nickolgon testified "iia he had been overpowered and rebbed. by: several men after they had thrown acid in his face. He said that Racine was the only one known to him and that after taking his money, the men had fled at the approach of a stranger. To refute this statement the de- fense produced a winess who said that he arrived at the scene of the alleged crime immediately after it was said to have occurred and that Nickolson told him that he had been robbed by a man who was not Ra- cine, He stated that the complaining witness was apparently under the influence of liquor and after listening to his story he became convinced that the man was suffering from delusions. and had directed him to the police.
