D., June 15—A new “agricultural relief”? movement has (been started in this part of North Dakota and its sponsors hope to ex- tend it throughout the nation’s ag- ricultural belt. The plan, in brief, is to induce con- gress to declare an embargo on the importation of agricultural products which compete with home-grown ar- ticles. The method of obtaining ac- tion is by getting signers to a pe- tition demanding such action and by sending two men from each state to | Washington to lobby for the pro- | Posed enactment. The method of financing is by col- lecting a dollar from each signer to {* petition. Of this amount the per- jsons circulating the petitions get 50 jcents, 25 cents goes to incidental ex- Penses and 25 cents to financing the avowed object of the campaign.

Few Donned Lifebelts The ordinarily calm waters of the bay became a maelstrom of strug- gling humans. A few had man: to don lifevelts at the first hint of danger and a few others clambered into a life boat. The great majority sank, their cries nearly drowning out the howl of the storm. A strong cur- rent evidently carried scores of bod- jes out to sea. The lighthouse keeper telephoned St. Nazaire, Nantes and Pornic for help. Life saving crews put out in tugs and patrol boats.

The bodies of the women were de- void of clothing—so powerful was the lashing fury of the waves. The body of an unidentified 18-year-old girl still was warm when fished out but life proved to be extinct after several hours of medical treatment.

Two men in prison for double mur- ders were to be heard by the board. One is Joe Milo, 53, sentenced in Bot- tineau county to hang in November, 1914, but later committed to prison when the legislature abolished capital punishment as he awaited execution. Milo pleaded guilty to killing two fel- low-employes with the aid of an ac- complice who was sentenced to life imprisonment.

Scott Cameron, Bismarck attorney, | representing Meadows, told the board his client pleaded guilty to the charge with the understanding he would be} released from prison within a year.| This was done, he said, because the next term of court was six months ; away, and Meadows, unable to fur- nish bond, decided to start his prison sentence instead of waiting for trial. | Orrin Johnson, 27, sentenced from] Cass county Dec. 26, 1929, to a 2%2- year term for third-degree burglary, was given a parole effective as’ soon as he could present an employer's certificate assuring him employment.
