The governor said the constitution seems to indicate clearly that his sig- nature is necessary to a reapportion- ment measure before it goes into ef- fect and expressed the opinion the courts of the state will uphold and declare the plan invalid when the test case is brought as it now seems likely.

It was announced in Russia the shipment was to test regulations bar- ring lumber produced in Russian forests north of latitude 60 unless it could be shown convict labor did not enter into production but treasury in- formation was that the lumber was spruce from the forests of Southern Russia, where no question of convict labor has been raised. Such lumber would be admitted to the United States without question. If the ship- ment is northern spruce it. will be barred pending ¢ hearing and pro- they duction of proof by the importer that convicts were not used in its produc- legisla: whole matter Wednesday when the/| tion. Customs representatives were at Providence ready to examine the car- go and determine whether it was northern or southern spruce. ‘Treasury regulations promulgated last November required that import- ers and shippers must shoulder the burden of proof that convicts did not enter into the production, manufac- specifically naming Russian lumber from north of latitude 60 as a prod- uct which must be accompanied by proof that convicts did not enter into its production. Immediately after the last order was issued, it was announced in Rus- sia that a shipload of lumber which was sent from Leningrad in February consigned to the Amtorg cor= Pp&yation in this country, was to be used to test the treasury’s authority to issue regulations placing the bur- den of proof upon the importer. The treasury last summer barred six ship loads of lumber and pulp wood from Russia and they were held up at Providence and Pough- keepsie, N. Y. It was admitted, how- ever, after Assistant Secretary Low- man ruled that evidence that convict labor had entered into its production was inconclusive. It was soon after that decision that fs Caer lgr mulgated the regulations p! burden of proof on the importer.

Duis, president of the North Da- kota-Montana wheat growers, re- ceived notice Thursday morning that the membership of the association in the Minneapolis Chamber of Com- merce had ben canceled. No sufficient reason for the action was given in the notification, Mr. Duis said, and the authority for the cancellation will be contested in the courts unless immediate reinstate- ment is made. In a statement on the cancellation of the membership of the group, em- bracing some 25,000 grain growers of North Dakota and Montana, Mr. Duis said the move was part of a campaign of the grain interests to destrop co- operative marketing and the right of the farmers in the northwest to control the sale of their products. “I regard the whole affair as a silly action by the Chamber of Com- merce,” Mr. Duis said, “which the farmers of the northwest will resent in unmistakable terms.” He added that the financial con- dition of the association Thursday is as sound as it ever was, and that the members still are determined to con- trel the marketing of their wheat regardless of any action of the grain interests. Wednesday Mr. Duis announced the severance of relations of the North- Dakota-Montana wheat pool with the erat farm board and its coopera- ves. Officers of the pool stated that the entire matter would be laid before the secretary of agriculture.

D., April 23—()— Flanked by national guardsmen with bayoneted rifles, sidearms, tear gas and a sub-machine gun to protect him from possible harm, James F. n, 55, went on preliminary hearing Thursday on a charge of first-degree murder in connection with the massacre of the A. E. Haven family of six persons near Shafer in February, 1930, Bannon, father of Charles Bannon, 22, who ccnfessed the Haven murders ind absolved his father of implica- tion in the crime and who was lynch- ed last Jan. 27, evidenced no fear after he was brought here. The gray-haired defendant sat and sign of malice toward him, possibly looking for a face or listening for a voice which he’could remember from & night of horror when he saw his son taken from an adjoining cell in the Shafer jail to be led out and hanged from a bridge rail. Bannon has said he thought at that time he also was destined to die. Justice Robert Hinman, Alexander, convened the hearing by reading the murder charge to Bannon, in which he is charged specifically with the siaying of Albert Haven, the husband and father. Charged With Larceny A few minutes previously Sherifi Sivert Thompson served three other warrants upon Bannon; one charg- ing him with being an accessory after the fact of the murder, or in other words, zovine guilty knowledge of the crime, and two accusing him of grand larceny in connection with fhe dis- sipation of the Haven estate. The only hint of what Bannon's de- fense will be came in the questioning of two witnesses, who were asked by W. A. Jacobson, Watford City counse? for the defendant, whether Haven’s fractured skull could have been caused by a kick from a horse or a cow. State's Attorney J. 8.
