C. Geelan, Enderlin, Americanism chair- man of the women’s organization, called for an aggressive attack on communistic efforts in North Da- kota. Commander Stevens told of the fight against communism, declaring that the Americanism commission has been called on this year to com- bat its growth, as well as against radical pacifism and the progaganda of subversive groups. True to Its Ideals “The American Legion has remained true to its ideal of patriotic service in peace time as in war,” he said. “Notable service has been rendered our people and our nation this year. ‘We cannot falter in the future, if Proper adequate defense is provided our republic, and the red menace of communism is held in check, as has been done in 1932 and will continue to be in future years with the Legion program of patriotic education ad- vancing.” Paying tribute to the efforts of Legionnaires in membership work, Stevens said the national organiza- tion is now within reach of its quota set for the entire year, making 1932) outstanding for continued growth in strength and influence despite de- Pressing times.

The women were Frances Polikow- ski, 23, Rochester waitress, and Louise Prigge, 21, farsa girl. The men, who were arrested two days after the bod- jes were found and had been held since without charge, are Reuben Kruger, 25, oil station employe, and Jesse E. Salley, 30, garage mechanic. Two Mayo clinic physicians and two Lake City physicians were the chief witnesses during the first phases of Tuesday's session, which came when the inquest was adjourned from last Friday. At that time rou- tine testimony was taxen regarding the finding of the bodies and their identification. Drs. H. E. Bowers and E. C. Bahley of Lake City, who examined the bod- ies soon after they were found, de- scribed their condition, said they found no marks of violence and both expressed the belief that the young women had drowned. Dr. H. E. Robertson of Mayo clinic, reporting on an analysis of the girls’ lungs, said he found no foreign sub- stance. On the basis of his findings, however, and what he learned from the two Lake City physicians, he said, he was convinced drowning had) caused the girls’ deaths. A fourth physician to testify was Dr. A. E. Osterberg, also of Mayo clinic, who reported on an analysis of the girls’ stomachs. He said he rong no poison but that there was some al- cohol.

The victims were Abie Loeb of St. Paul, who died at a hospital from five bullet wounds, and Al Gordon, St. Paul, former convict, who was shot once, have been in revenge for the slaying last week of Harry “Gorilla Kid” Da- vis, liquor racketeer of St. Paul, and formerly of Philadelphia. Loeb had been sought for questioning in Davis’ death, since he was the last person reported to have seen Davis alive. Davis’ body was found 20 miles north of here in a roadside ditch. He had been shot, and police surmised he had been “taken for a ride.” Mrs. Loeb and three other persons had been summoned as witnesses for the inquest into Davis’ death, set for next Thursday at Stillwater. Search was started for Loeb. After Loeb had been shot he ran into a restaurant. The two men fol- lowed him and beat him with their guns. Later two suspects were ar- rested and police said a restaurant employe had identified the pair as the men who hit Loeb.

S. to Participate DEBT REVISION LOOMING UP Idaho Senator Would Trade War Debts for Program of Disarmament Washington, July 26.—(4)—Predic- tions that the world conference on which the United States already has been sounded out might meet at least some of Senator Borah's ideas emerged Tuesday from talk about his plan for a round-table discussion of economics. At the same time, though, Borah indicated impatience over delay in a formal invitation for the United States to join the meeting sponsored by the League of Nations, expressing a hope that the United States would take the initiative. The government officially was si- lent, but in some quarters there were admissions that European nations will suggest debt revision when the next debt payments become due Dec. 15. No intimation as yet had come from the state department that this coun- try would be willing to talk about debts and tariffs at the suggested conference growing out of the Lau- sanne meeting. When Sir Ronald Lindsay, British ambassador, talked over the new meeting with American officials, he was told the United States would discuss many things— but not war debts and tariff rates. The Idaho senator would trade war debts for disarmament and repara- tions cancellation. His plan, regard- of here. Jacobson was tortured be~- fore he was slain. The motive in that case apparently was robbery.

The president will reply, his ac- ceptance being carried over radio hookups, as well as international short wave broadcasts. At 1 p. m., the afternoon of Aug. 11—which is the anniversary of Pres- ident Hoover's acceptance in 1928— the chief executive and Mrs. Hoover will receive at a white house buffet luncheon members of the notifica- tion committee, the national commit- tee, campaign officials and the re- ception committee.

For 44 years the grain trading day has been from 9:30 a. m. to 1:15 p. m. Previously, the working hours ranged from 9:30 a. m. until 2:30 p. m., with about a half hour off for lunch. Since daylight savings time clipped the whiskers off father time in the big cities, complications have arisen. But time isn't the only factor. Sev- eral members say that with the word “depression” popping up at every turn, business should work overtime to make sales, thereby benefiting. Hence, with agitation for a change accumulating, the matter will come up for a vote—with the “die-hards” all for tradition and custom and con- verted members all for the change. Montana, they say, a great wheat state, because of the time difference, must complete its futures trading on the Chicago exchange by 11:15 a. m. (mountain time), and the Pacific mountain time. ‘The question will be voted Aug. 5. And George de B. Keim, secretary, less of administration silence and be- cause of his prominence abroad, was considered at the capital as at least an overture toward swapping with debt payers next December. e capital likewise has heard talk Tut Ambassador Mellon's return with plans for an economic get-to- gether. There is no doubt but tha: he will tell his chiefs what he thinks will happen in December, cussing things with Europe by that time. But elections and the Ottawa con- ference may prevent an immediate discussion. Borah wants arms cut 50 per cent; President Hoover has suggested a 33 1/3 per cent slash. Meanwhile, the United States has not yet said it would decilne to an- alyze war debts individually with (European nations. The position has jbeen, and so far as has been publicly jsaid, still is, that concerted European \demands for revision or reduction will be of no avail. OKLAHOMANS VOTING | INRUN-OFF PRIMARY Deposed Governor and Teacher With Same Name as Humor- ist Hold Attention . Oklahoma City, July 26.—(#)—A de- posed governor, and a county school teacher with the same name as Will Rogers, the humorist, Tuesday held the principal interest among candi- dates as Oklahoma voters partici- pated in a run-off primary. J.C. (Jack) Walton, attempting a political comeback for the fourth time since he was removed as gov- ernor in 1923, is opposing A. 8. J. Shaw, former state auditor and treas- urer, for Democratic nomination to the cooperation commission. Rogers, whose vote in the first pri- mary was not even counted by un- official tabulators until someone dis- covered he had an amazing total, is pitted against Mrs. Mabel Bassett, state commissioner of charities, for Democratic nomination for congress- man-at-large. Governor William H. (Alfalfa Bill) Murray is an issue in many legisla- tive races because of his slate of can- didates. Elmer Thomas, Oklahoma's senior U. 8. senator, is opposed by Gomer Smith, Oklahoma City lawyer, in his bid for the Democratic renomination. Wirt Franklin, Ardmore oil man and leader of the oil tariff campaign, and James A. (Big Jim) Harris, Re- Publican leader of a few years ago, are rivals for the Republican senato- rial pomination.

BUDGET BOARDS I | STATE CUT DEEPLY INTO EXPENDITURE \‘Ability to Pay’ Appears Com- | mon Basis for Determina- tion of Levies Fargo, N. D., July 26.—(4)—County, municipal and school budget boards in North Dakota are wielding a sharp economy knife on governmental ex- penditures. Preliminary budgets of various units of government show a distinct trend | toward reducing taxes to the lowest i they have been in a decade. A survey by the Fargo Forum of some of the preliminary budgets re- veals that 28 counties, 12 villages and towns and 12 school districts propose aggregate reductions of $731,780 un- der last year’s expenditures. The 28 counties, in their prelimi- nary budgets, propose total reductions of $427,647 under last year; the 12 villages and towns propose reductions (Of $121,212; and the 12 school dis- tricts propose reductions of $182,479. The available preliminary budgets, to be considered at public hearings this week, show these trends: Boards are fixing budgets on the ability of people to pay taxes rather than on demands confronting them. Tax payments due Dec, 31 this year and payable March 15, 1933, and Oct. 15, 1933, without penalty will be the. lowest in a decade. Poor relief expenditures for the en- suing year will be the highest in the history of the state. Few school districts will resort to special elections to increase mill lev- jes beyond the statutory maximum; in some instances schools will be forced to operate less than nine months because funds available from tax levies on a 50 per cent valuation of property will not provide sufficient income to maintain the system of schools formerly supported under the 5 per cent valuation plan.

Currency Increases of $6,000,000 Are Possible| Glass - Borah Amendment to , Home Loan Bank Bill Cap- tures Banks’ Interest Washington, Juty, 26.—()—Possible | currency increases of more than $6,000,000 Tuesday entered the pic- ture of a government pressing ahead with its relief work. While President Hoover talked over the $3,800,000,000 reconstruction cor- poration with one of its directors, the treasury let it be known that a dozen banks were interested in what they could do under the Glass-Borah amendment to the home loan bank bill. Hoover and Gardner Cowles, Sr., recently named to the corporation's directorate, discussed at length the $300,000,000 available under the new relief law for destitution loans to States. What they decided was not announced after the meeting, but the selection of Fred C. Croxton, assist- ant director of the president's un-| employment committee, to assist cor- poration directors was made known. Croxton, with the employment| committee for two years, immediately went to work at his new job, adding his knowledge of geographical nec- essities to the studies of how to expedite relief loans. The treasury said banks all over the country had inquired about the Glass-Borah amendment under which they could issue currency against government bonds bearing not more than 3 3-8 per cent interest. They seemed principally concern- ed, it was said, about how soon the law would become effective. The comptroller and treasurer advised the banks that the law would be worked out soon so currency could be issued in less than a week. SUITS ARE SETTLED IN CLINIC DISASTER 69 Victims of Cleveland Hos- pital Fire or Heirs Will Di- vide $167,000 Cleveland, July 26.—(*)—Damage suits in the Cleveland clinic disas- ter—one of the worst in this coun- try’s peace-time history—were settled Tuesday for $167,000. The clinic, operated by the famous Dr. George W. Crile, was struck by fire May 15, 1929, and within the space of hardly more than an hour, 125 persons were stricken fatally by deadly poisonous gasses, or by burns. Many died at once but others lin- gered several weeks before they suc- cumbed. Most of the deaths were caused by the poisonous gas generated by the burning of X-ray films in the clinic laboratory. For the clinic, with only $30,000 in lability insurance, to pay the full amount of the claims was impossible. It therefore negotiated with the claimants for many months until the BRITISH PREFERENCE FOR TRADE IS URGED AT OTTAWA PARLEY Refer to Alleged Oil Price-Cut- ting in U. S. as Unfair Competition CEREAL GROUP IN QUANDARY |Would Open Anthracite Coal Market in Canada to Welsh Mine Interests Ottawa, Ont., July 26—()—Threats te the trade of U. S. oil and coal in- terests in the British empire arose in the parleys of the British empire conference Tuesday. Referring to “unfair trade prac- tices," the committee on trade within the commonwealth heard inferential references Monday to alleged price- cutting by American oil companies and the committee was represented Tuesday as professing that for larg- er companies to force smaller com- petitors out of business by cutting prices was unfair. The threat to U. S. coal came in a declaration from the Canadian del- egation, placing anthracite coal on the long list of items from which the committee might select articles for British preference. If anthracite were to be selected it would hit at the present sale of U. 8. anthracite in Canada by opening that market to the Welsh mines. Shipments of American anthracite to Canada last year totaled 1,966,000 tons compared with 871,000 tons from the United Kingdom. Cereals Group in Quandary There have been informal discus- sions between the dominions con- cerning primary products, including wheat, meats, lumber, fish and fruit. It was said Tuesday the dairy prod- ucts group had made satisfactory ress. The group considering cereals still was in a quandary, how- ever. Its problem of trade standards and the promotion of British wheat sales under the auspices of an em- Pire marketing board was also a con- cern of the conference committee on economic cooperation. Wheat is the most important eco- nomic question for Canada, Austra- lia, India, and to a lesser degree for South Africa and Rhodesia. The average annual world crop, exclusive of Russia and China, now exceeds 3,700,000,000 bushels compared with 3,000,000,000 during the period 1909- 1912, European crops of wheat are now about equal to those of pre-war days, but the chief non-European countries, the U. S., Canada, Argen- tina and Australia, have pushed their production up from _ 1,476,000,000 bushels to 2,120,000,000. See Little Competition American representatives have pointed out that U. S. export wheat, chiefly a soft variety used in cake and pastries, was of small competi- tion to the hard bread wheats of Canada, which have three contract sSrades better than the best American hard winters and one equally as good. The home market, it was said, is al- most sufficient to absorb American hard winter wheats for bread baking. Demands at this conference for British embargo on Russian wheat were said to be predicated on the fact that Russia can grow both hard and soft wheat and under-sell the world market. The unofficial English view, however, is that the Rusian threat is over-emphasized, since the crop shortage has resulted in few sales of Russian grain to the United King- dom in the last several months, re- gardless of Liverpool cargoes. American interests said Tuesday the United Kingdom would do well to take 25 per cent of the Canadian anthracite trade away from the Unt- ted States. Huge debts to the United States which must be paid in gold by Great Britain and Canada, demanded con- sideration Tuesday as unofficial dis- cussion of monetary readjustment began. Appointment of H. H. Stevens, Canadian minister of trade and com- merce, as chairman of the committee on monetary and financial affairs, means, some of the delegates believe. that the question of silver will be brought up. . Stevens is an authority on the sil- ver issue as it affects a large part of the world, particularly India, China, and some South American countries The committee will meet Thursday.
