Crop Prospects Hoover Proposal Booms World Markets PLAN TO SUSPEND REPARATIONS AIDS BUSINESS REVIVAL All Commodity Prices Reflect Optimism While Share Quo- tations Soar WALL STREET IS ACTIVE Leading Shares Advance $2 to $15 a Share and Trading Is in Large Blocks (By The Associated Press) j President Hoover's propbsal for a year’s suspension of war debts and reparations payments was reflected in a strong upswing on the stock markets of the world today. .The New York stock exchange ex- Pperienced its busiest opening since the ; 1929 panic as leading stocks advanced | $2 to $15 a share. Frenzied buying, much of it in large blocks, .resulted in more than 1,000,000 shares being traded in the first half hour. - German bonds jumped from $10 to $40 per $1,000 bond, par value, and virtually. évery important commodity market in the country reflected the bullish interpretation placed on the President's proposal. Cotton in New Orleans and New York advanced about $2.50 to $3.00 a bale. Wheat rose 2% cents a busHel in some cases. The Berlin Bourse responded with &@ boom on all.markets, leading shares going up as much as 30 points, while | there was not a minus sign on the} whole list when the market closed. London Is Active London showed similar activity, stocks going up four to nine points, | while the Liverpool cotton market opened sensationally 34 points high- er, later advancing to 41 points in- crease. Copper and tin spurted strongly. Paris also showed a gain, the Bourse recovering in .considerable breadth and prices in some instances advanc- ing 10 per cent with a very firm closing. Other corners of the world also re- flected buoyancy, im Shanghai bar silver improving nearly ten per cent; stocks rallying in Tokyo while cotton improved on the Bombay market. There was a general upward move- ment on the Rome stock exchange. While the world’s ‘stock markets swung upward, world capitals buzzed politically as the various governments began consideration of the part they } must play in any acceptance of the; president's proposal. French Hold Key Paris apparently held the key to the situation and it was understood the cabinet will consider it Tuesday. “The premier and minister of finance conferred today. While the French government thus far has declined any comment, the; ‘point most likely on which the French decision will hinge is on France's willingness or unwillingness to per- mit suspension of that part of Ger- man reparations paying for devasta- tion in France during the war. Secretary Stimson said in Wash- ington that an international confer- ence was out of the question if Presl- dent Hoover's debt moratorium pro- posal is to have the desired effect. ‘The secretAry said speedy accept- ance of the proposal by Germany's creditor nations was necessary if it were to have the desirn effect and (Continued on page seven) GRAND JURY MEETS IN LEAN COUNTY’ Report on County’s Books Is!

D., June 22.—()—About | 30 persons are recovering ee caused from eat- chicken sandwiches at a church { luncheon at a farm home near here last week. Four persons are still in a serlous | condition, but no fatalities are ex- | oa Tiness did not occur until 24 | after the luncheon at the farm 15 miles north of Edgell Symptoms developed by the pa-/ tients indicate definitely that they are suffering from ptomaine poison- ing and not from betulism, according to hospital attaches here. The illness was traced to the sand- wiches, made of pressed chicken. A sample of the food however could not be obtained today for analysis. Dr. J. E. Scanlon, Edgeley, the only physician in town at the time of the; illnesses, ministered to the needs of the stricken people. It is believed the warm weather caused the chicken, prepared the night before, to ferment and develop | a poison. The chicken was prepared | by removing the bones from tne cooked fow! and pressing the meat. ‘The Ladies Aid Society of the Zion Evangelical church of Edgeley spon- sored the dinner at the farm home. | Persons from Edgeley and vicinity | were present. A number of children became ill but with less serious effects than adults. The degree of illness appear- ed to be in proportion to the amount of chicken eaten by those present. Two persons were taken to a hos- pital here where they were said to be out of danger Monday, while two oth- ers were seriouslly ill at their homes. A number of others were being treat- ed at their homes near here.

COAL DEALERS T0 WAIT FOR BOARD TO OPEN OFFERS Letting of Fuel Contracts Held Up When Administration Body Lacks Quorum — de North Dakota coal dealers and the state board of administration Monday were marking time and awaiting de- velopments following @ meeting of the state body at 10 a. m.

Lacking a quorum, the two members of the board conferred with Attorney General James Morris, who gave an opinion that the bids could not be opened, in spite of the advertisement for bids, until a quor- um_was present. The other three members of the board, Commissioner of Agriculture and Labor Joseph A. Ktichen, Chair- man Nelsoh Sauvain, and Superin- } tendent of Schools Bertha R. Palmer, all were out of the city. Approximately 30 members repre- senting 10 coal companies wgre here for the meeting. W. T.

Attorneys said Arno, having com- pleted the six-weeks residence re- quired by law, probably would file suit for divorce from Lois Long Arno, a writer. That Mrs. Arno will contest the ac- tion brought by her husband is ex- pected, it having been reliably re- ported she will file across complaint and that Arno will consent that the Vanderbilt, steps” will be taken tomorrow to combat the divorce action begun by her husband on grounds of extreme cruelty. While he would not say just what action was contemplated, t! usual procedure is to file a cross- complaint and ask for a bill of par- ticulars. Vanderbilt filed suit for divorce last Friday after he and Mrs. Vanderbilt had quarreled over attentions he Arno was paying her. Vanderbilt himself said he had driven Arno from his house early last Monday and that he would have shot the cartoonist had he not realized the seriousness of the situation. @ ‘French Mourn Death | Of Former Chieftain | Mezin, France, June 22—(7)—Ar- {mand Fallieres, former president of | France, died unexpectedly today. dent of the third French republic from 1906 until 1913.

The clash of ideals deals with 15,000 Catholic action subsidiary clubs which were closed by Il Duce's order. He claimed the clubs had become po- litical and the pope insisted they had} not. Back of that, however, is the old quarrel between the church and the | State regarding who shall educate the | youth. The church maintained through the clubs a week-day influence over Catholic young people by sports, amusement and cultural activities. At the same time, Mussolini insisted, youth belongs to the state and that while religion is necessary it should not be allowed to broaden its scope into conflict with Fascism's complete control of youth outside the church; and home. The pope has described the youth \clubs, in dozens of addresses, a5) things vital to the church and dear- est to his heart. In his notes to the government he protested the closing of the clubs on the grounds that it was @ violation of the concordat. Mussolini replied, through Foreign | Minister Grandi, that the clubs by ; mixing in politics had become illegal. | His method of dissolution was to ap-! ply the law of 1926 which forbids any youth organizations except the Fas- cist youth movement. Mussolini did not act against the jcentral body of the Catholic action or even against the adult branches, jelosing only those societies compris- {ing 600,000 Catholic youths. Youth is the fetish of Fascism and in the pontiff’s word it also is the “most exquisite part of the church.” His Holiness said in striking at it Mussolini had struck at the “heart of the pope.” SIX PERSONS KILLED IN MEXICAN RIOTING Disturbance Occurs During Fu-! neral of Priest; Threaten to Lynch Mayor Vers Cruz, Mex.

Britain seems to have accepted the situation as his final decision, for there isn't even the usual crop of rumors buzzing about his blond head. For one thing, much of the affec- tion which set old ladies to gossiping over their teacups and maidens a- sighing, has been transferred from the prince to little Princess Elizabeth. For another, Wales has changed in his last year from something of 8 playboy prince whose main job was to inherit the British throne to a bus- iness prince who means to help re- store Britain's lost trade. He is an older man, as well, and while even at 37 there is still some- thing boyish about him, he isn’t any kid and his public life reflects this change as well. This year he spent nearly four months on his South American trip, and its serious purpose was well known. Since his return he has resumed his various public appearances, but most- ly they have had a business angle. NAUTILUS ARRIVES IN HARBOR AT CORK Arctic Submarine Concludes Gruelling 17-Day Trip Over Atlantic Ocean Cork, Irish Free State.

Wyoming. ‘The arrival of the Nautilus con- cluded a gruelling 17-day trip across the Atlantic on the first lap of a Projected underseas cruise to the north pole. She lost a member of the crew overboard even before she got under way. The Nautilus left Provincetown, Mass., June 5 under her own power after extensive test runs along the coast. Things went smoothly for about 10 days and then troutle be- gan. One of her motors was disabled and her battery ran low. She was taken in tow by the battleship Wy- oming @ week ago when she still was 1,000 miles from her destination. Subsequently, her bridge and perl- scope were washed away by storms and her tow line parted. Towing gear was again rigged and she pro- ceeded toward the British Isles at a snail’s pace.

W. Roberts, head of the Bismarck weather bureau. The rain was chiefly beneficial to feed, corn and potatoes although some crops were too badly damaged by the heat to benefit from the pre- cipitation, he said. Roberts said that pasture lands were greatly benefited’ and that adequate grazing for livestock seems assured for at least another month. The forecast for North Dakota was mostly unsettled tonight and Tuesday, with probable showers or thunder- storms, and rising temperature. Rain was reported from all sections of the state with the exception of the extreme northern parts. Over An Inch Here Western North Dakota and all ter- ritory adjacent to Bismarck enjoyed rainfall which averaged over an inch, with Wishek reporting 2.63 inches, the greatest precipitation in the state. At 7 a. m. Monday 1.21 inches of rain had fallen in Bismarck within the last 48 hours. Even with the week-end rains, weather bureau officials said that precipitation for the month still was below normal. Normally rainfall to date should total 2.63 inches whereas only 1.57 inches has fallen, they said. Reports also show that rainfall for the year is below normal, the accumu- lated deficiency being 2.27 inches. Dickinson reported 1.82 inches pre- cipitation, Jamestown 1.12, Fargo .96, Grand Forks 1.61, Minot 33, Drake 86, Dunn Center .99, Fessenden 1.18, Hettinger 1.34, Max .87, Napoleon 1.28. and Sanish .49. Only three points in North Dakota reported no precipitation over the week-end. They were Crosby, Pem- bina, and Bottineau, all in extreme northern parts of the state. Other States Dry North Dakota virtually was the only state west of the Mississippi to receive moisture Sunday, however, Moorhead, Minn., reported .96 of an inch and Seattle, Wash., .16, but oth- tr states reported none. Middlewest points remained hot both Sunday and during the night. Oklahoma City, Okla., was the hot- test point in western United States, reporting a maximum temperature of 96 degrees Sunday, the low during the night there being 72. High temperatures throughout the western part of the country ranged from 76 to 96 degrees while it re- mained comparatively cool in this state. North Dakota thermometer readings remained in the 70s and 60s, the highest Sunday being 82 at Han- kinson. Little rain was reported in the Canadian provinces, though it re- mained cool in Canada. DOWNPOUR IS GODSEND SAYS FEDERAL EXPERT Fargo, June 22.—(P)—Rain which fell over southeastern North Da- kota over the week-end in drenching quantities will render a benefit which cannot at present be overestimated, Ben Keinholz, United States crops ; Statistician for North Dakota said , here Monday. In_ southwestern North Dakota, Keinholz said, many crops which were at a critical point will be re- vived and in other sections the down- pour will assure an ample supply of feed to carry livestock through and in addition furnish a surplus to care | for the stock now in dire need of feed in northwestern North Dakota. Keinholz said the rain was of such volume that it might revive some crops in the southwestern and central western part of the state which had begun “to fire” as a result of drought and extreme heat. Recently returned from a trip to Grand Forks, Larimore and points | termed the rain “a godsend” to that (Continued on page seven) Three “Are Hurt in Week-end Accidents Three Bismarck-Mandan persons. suffered minor injuries over the week-end in automobile accidents on the Bismarck-Mandan memorial Lillian E.
