D., August 6.—(#)—Peti- tions for initiation of a. law repeal- ing the measure outlawing crop mort- gages, which the voters of North Da-/ kota approved at the June election, have been placed in circulation in North Dakota. Acting as a committee for the peti- tioners are five northwestern North Dakota farmers, E. H. Kendall of Minot; T. N. Jorgenson, Crosby; Archie Snider, Emmet; J. B. Mertes, Bowbells; and J. W. McNamara, Ep- worth. ‘That the law outlawing crop mort- gages has and will continue to have a harmful effect upon agriculture is the contention of the petitioners in seeking a vote upon the proposed new measure which would put the crop mortgage situation back where it was before the “outlaw” measure was approved. It also is the contention of the peti- tioners that the “outlaw” measure, which was sponsored by the Farm- ers Union, has barred farmers from participating in the federal aid provided in recent legislation because they are unable, under the new North Dakota statute, to give the govern- ment security by way of crop mort- gages. The petitions being circulated would initiate a law which would “permit the mortgaging of farm{ crops, providing such. mortgage’ shall attach only to the crop next matur- ing except in the case of mortgages given to secure the purchase or rental of the land on which such crops are ; Ship. grown.

D., Aug. 6.—(?)—Af- ter disqualifying Endeviin, winner of the state legion baseball title in the tournament at Harvey, for playing an ineligible player, a five-man board of eligibility meeting here Friday -night announced that Minot and Coopers- town will meet at 3 p. m., Sunday at Harvey to decide the state champion- Minot, defeated in the semi-finals of the state tournament, and Coop- erstown, defeated by Enderlin in the finals of the state meet at Harvey, both protested Enderlin's champion- ship, charging that Enderlin played two ineligible players, Rooney of Fin- gal and Rorvig of Nome. ‘Te? board quoted rule two of the additional rules of junior baseball in North Dakota, “posts may not join in org: junior league teams. A boy living half way between two posts may decide which he will\play with.” Fingal has a post and therefore the poard stated Rooney was ineligible because he did not play with that j Post. Enderlin protested that the state rule contradicted the national rules which provide that “posts may draw from the territory served by the post,” but the board held Enderlin's terri- tory did not extend into Fingal as long as Fingal has a post and there- fore the state rule dozs not conflict with the national rule. While the eligibility of two players was questioned by the protesting teams, Enderlin was disqualified for playing Rooney, one violation of the rules being enough to throw out the victory. Members of the board of eligibility were John Gray, Lisbon; Doug Smith, Devils Lake; Carl Ericst Carring- ton; Bill Ellison, Mandan, and W. 8. Carrington. C. A.

Peace efforts were complicated. however, by reports of a renewal of fighting in the Chaco area. A Boliv- fan patrol fired on an outpost of Fort Presidente Ayala late Friday, but the attack was repulsed, the report said Fort Presidente Ayala is one of 11 Paraguayan forts grouped within a 50-mile radius in southern Chaco. Bolivia has the same number in the same area. ¥ ‘The Paraguayan treasury consider- ed a plan to raise war funds by pay- ing 25 to 50 per cent of its August salary roll in national defense bonds. Paraguay’s proposal for a truce, as outlined in the reply to the 19 neutral nations, included a provision that the truce be declared on the basis of the status of June 1, a condition to whica Bolivia has objected. A thousand school children asked the Paraguayan general staff Friday for permission to form a fighting regiment. BOLIVIA ACCEPTS IN PRINCIPLE ONLY La Paz, Bolivia, Aug. 6.—()—Bo- livia has warned the United States and the 18 other neutral nations seek- ing a peaceful settlement of the Chaco dispute that the offer of medi- ation would be accepted only in principle, and subject to “subsequent emergencics.” “The country must be prepared for alf eventualities,” the Bolivian reply said. “In view of active mobilization by Paraguay, Bolivia must take nec- essary precautions for her own de- fense.” Opponents of the proposed truce held a demonstration Friday demand- ing that war be declared.

Judge A. M, Stack Saturday fixed bond for Ab Walker, 19-year-old chum of the dead man who also is accused of murder, at $25,000. The action gave risc to the belief that i Mrs. Reynolds also would be granted bail but Solicitor Carlisle Higgins had said it was improbable such action would be taken without the physical presence here of the defendant. Alfred Holman, her father, has promised to have the young widow here in less than a week. Is Expectant Mother Miss Holman’s illness, which has been given as a reason for her failure ;to surrender, was ascribed by her jfather, a Cincinnati lawyer, to shock and to the fact that she is an ex- Pectant mother. A formal statement by counsel for the former actress said: “Mr. Alfred Holman, father of Mrs. ;Smith Reynolds, came to Winston- able to wrange bond for his daugh- ter's appearance here at such time as the court might direct and thereby spare his daughter the discomfort of an arduous journey in her present condition. She is still suffering from shock and is an expectant mother. “She will not require that the state of North Carolina request her extra- diton; she will voluntarily return to North Carolina and submit to the Jurisdiction of the court in the full confidenc> that she will receive a fair and impartial trial.” wyers Issue Statement Benet Polikoff and William Graves signed the statement as “counsel for Mrs, Smith Reynolds.” The formal statement contained the first. public announcement that Mrs. Reynolds expected a child. One witness at the coroner's inquest into the death of Reynolds, however, tes- tified that, at the hospital, she told Walker she was to have a baby. Richard J. (Dick) Reynolds, bearer of the name of his father who found- ed the huge tobacco fortune here and elder brother of 20-year-old Smith, is en route home from South America by boat. He said he would reserve opinion until he got here. (Continued on page five) Chicago, Aug. 6.—(?)—Investi- gators may use a “truth serum” on Dr. William A.

PRICE FIVE CENTS Hits Wall Street rop Mortgage Law Repeal PRICES ADVANCE IN WILD SCRAMBLE 10 ~ PURCHASE STOCKS Movement Is Declared One of Most Sensational in Last Three Years BEARS ARE SWEPT ASIDE Heavy Profit-Taking Just Be- Fore. Close Pares Down Some Gains New York, Aug. 6.—(?)—A hurricane of buying swept the trading floor of the New York stock exchange Satur- day, hurling prices upward in one of the most sensational advances of the past three years, Gains of 2 to more than $12 were recorded on this rising tide of bullish- ness which threw aside all opposition from shorts and so swamped the fac- ilities of the market that the quota- tion printing machinery at times was seven minutes behind actual trans- actions. Heavy profit-taking just before the close pared down extreme advances, in some instances substantially. At the height of the boom trading was frenzied and the exchange authorities were forced to halt temporarily deal- ings in two leaders, Allied Chemical and Union Pacific, because there were no selling orders to supply the huge accumulation of purchasing contracts. Encouraged by the strength of Fri- day's close and fortified by a large accumulation of overnight buying both from this country and Europe, bulls went to work on the rejuvenated market from the opening gong and by the beginning of the last half hour a tremendous momentum had been attained. One group after another was caught up in the swirl—rails, electrical equipments, utilities, farm implements, chemicals, communica- tions, steels. In the final ten minutes realizing began to make its impression but many pivotal shares ended the wild two hours not far below their high quotations. United States Steel stocks stood out prominently in this wild scramble. Preferred recorded an extreme gain of $12.75, touching $87.50 and closing only 50 cents under the top. while the ;common, after soaring $8.37 to $42.75, fell back. to. $41.50, making. the net {gain $7. American Telephone, which less than a month ago sold at $70.25, put on a full head of steam and mounted to $108.75 where it was up $7. Its final quotation was $108 and the net gain $6.37. Union Pacific roared up $10.62, then reacted $1 to $63. Allied Chemical slightly reduced a maximum rally of $10. J. I. Case, Friday's spectacular feature, closed at $49.25, up $5.75. American Can, after crossing $50, subsided to $49 where the net gain was $5. Other final prices were: Eastman Kodak $59.75, up $6; Santa Fe $40.50, up $3.50; American Tobacco $79.87, up $4; Bethlehem Steel $18, up $2.75; General Electric $19.75, up $2; Westinghouse $34.25, the top, up $3; Sears Roebuck $23.50, up $2; | Western Union $33.75, up $3.25. Transactions approximated 2,700.- 1000 shares, the biggest Saturday turn- over since May, 1930. WHEAT HITS HIGHEST LEVEL IN MONTHS Chicago, Aug. 6.—(#\—Wheat prices bounced above the highest levels of the last two months on the board of trade Saturday. Buying lost individuality as the broad upward movement absorbed week-end profit taking and added nearly three cents to the price of a bushel. Future sales of the new Sep- tember crop were at 5414 cents at the close, for December §7% to 7% cents, and May 62%. Corn and oats followed wheat in a display of bullish enthusiasm, credit- ed largely to reports that pools for commodity purchases would be spon- sored by government agencies. The market also watched the stock mar- ket, still on the rise, and followed its advance. Wool Grading Plants To Be Closed Monday Grand Forks, N.
