Aug. 117.—(?)—Earth tremors, described by the Rev. James B.

No loss of life was reported through- out an area in which San Antonio) was the largest city to report the shock. Father Macelwane said the school’s seism@' paph recorded tremors as 830 milest southwest of St. Louis. This would place the origin in Mexico.

The reports apparently were based on the known attitudes of the three commissi G. to favor the selection of state man to direct the new state building and it had assumed that an agreement on point had been reached. In an address to the state archi- tects convention at Grand Forks Thursday, however, George A. Bangs, chairman of the commission, came out flat-footed for the selection of a North Dakota man. This is believed to have precipitated some difficulty in adjusting the viewpoints of the various members. The Grand Forks Herald quoted Bangs as asking the pertinent ques- tion “Why send to a foreign state for an architect no matter how tal- ented, to picture the sentiment of our own people?” he had sug- gested that patriotic and other so- cieties join in submitting suggestions for the design and ornamentation of the structure. As Herald Tells It ‘The Grand Forks Herald, in writ- jing of the meeting, then went on to: | “The chairman then that under the law the commission cannot employ an outside architect without requiring him to associate \himself with a North Dakota archi- jtect. ‘We find this same policy ex- emplified in our public offices’ he said, ‘we do not go to New York for @ governor or outside of the state for our judges, all of which indicates that a North Dakota architect should be employed for the new capitol.’ i difficulties that would arise ‘trom the association of a North Da- kota and outside architect were out- lined by Mr. Bangs before he passed to the matter of fees. He said that the national scale of architects ap- proximates 6 per cent of the cost of the building, and in this case would run between 90 and one hundred thousand dollars, most of which would be paid out in salaries to draftsmen, inspectors and other employes of the architect. “Speaking of the new capitol the (Continued on page five) WHEAT ON GREDI SOUGHT BY CHINESE ment at Washington to De- termine Amount Available explained] Query Is Laid Before Govern-|ed . pal spirits behind bars, Cubs’s week- opavlovusk Are in Kamohatka Awaiting Good Weather for Hazardous Hop THUNDERSTORMS REPORTED Flying Couple Plan 897-Mile Flight to Nemuro as Next Leg of Journey Nemuro, Japan, Aug. 17—(P)—A radio message from Paramushir Island, picked up here by the Ochi- ishi wireless station, indicated Mon- day night that Colonel and Mrs. Charles A.

The governor acted to prevent de- |pletion of the resources of this vast {field while the state railroad com- mission, Texas oil regulation body, put into action the oil conservation islature. Governor Sterling said the! commission would need a week or two to do this. Some oil men said 20 days would be required. The field’s overproduction is generally jblamed by oll men for unsettling the industry and depressing prices. The military zone as outlined by the governor included four counties, the area covering 2,815 square miles. There are approximately 1,600 pro- ducing wells in the field with a re- cent daily average production of about 750,000 barrels. Notice of the proclamation was communicated to Brig. General Ja- cobs F. Wolters, commander of the 56th brigade, who had 800 men mo- to the adjoining oil fields.
