The notes handed by Secretary Stimson to the ambassadors of Great Britain, France and Belgium Nov. 23 —the evening after the president's conference with those congressional Jeaders—all carried that statement. They stated clearly, however, Hoo- ver could see no sufficient reason in the requests presented for granting a new moratorium; that congress alone could make such an extension and that neither the national legislature nor the American people were in a mood to do so. With publication of the notes here Friday night came also new expres- sions from Capitol Hill against the Hoover proposal.

At the head of the group of farm leaders, comprising the executive committee of the National Grange, who arranged. to come to see the president-elect, was Fred J. Free- stone, master of the New York Na- tional Grange, and an old acquaint- ance of Roosevelt. The Grangers carried the plan of the National Grange for the rehabili- tation of agriculture to lay before the president-elect. Roosevelt had not been informed in advance of what they planned to propose. In his speech at Topeka during the cam- paign he suggested that the leaders of the farm organizations get to- gether and agree upon a plan for aiding the farmers. Some of the advisers of the New York governor at that time consid- ered that the plan he outlined came nearest to a description of the do- mestic allotment plan under which the farmers would be guaranteed the cost of production for all grain that was allocated to meet domestic re- quirements. Shortly after the visit of the Grange committee Roosevelt was to! receive the group of members of the house agriculture committee. With them he was to discuss the plan by which the Democratic party hopes to bring the farmer out of the difficul- ties encountered in recent years. He has not yet disclosed the details of this plan.

(Jack) Drummond, a rancher of Tulsa, Okla., came to lose $91,000 in @ Loop hotel. Drummond's story was that the money disappeared from his hotel room some time between Thursday night and 10 o'clock Friday morning. The money was in bills of $500 and $1,000 and was carried in a money belt, he said. Contrary to his cus- tom and because he was “so full of turkey’t he took the belt off before retiring. When he awoke, it and the money were gone. Skeptical at first the amount involved, pollen aide they] 4 were convinced Drummond had possibility of Drummond having been ‘the victim of confidence men. He ‘was quoted as saying: “If that mob got-the money, offi- cers, forget the matter, for I'll get it back better than you will.” “That mob,” Drummond disclosed, ‘was several men who apparently had followed him around on They were stockmen, he said. his laa SUIT 10 RECOVER FRE PAID LANGER T0 BE TRIED HERE Action Is That of Widow Who Alleges She Paid $2,000, Got No Service ORDER ISSUED AT MINOT Judge Lowe Directs That Mat- ter Be Tried in Burleigh County; Date Not Set Minot, N. D., Nov. 26.—()—Trans- fer of the suit brought by Mrs. Esther Johnson of Donnybrook against At- torney William Langer of Bismarck, from Ward county to Burleigh county for trial, has been ordered by District Judge John C. Lowe of Minot. The attorneys in the case, B. H. Bradford of Minot for the plaintiff, and Sinkler and Brekke of Minot for the defendant, entered into a stipula- son that the case should be removed to Burleigh county. No date for trial of the case in Burleigh county has been set. Mrs. Josephine Marsh, clerk of the Ward county district court, has pre- pared papers in the case for trans- mittal to the district court clerk at Bismarck. Mrs. Johnson, in the action against Langer, now governor-elect of the state, is suing in an effort to recover $2,000 which she alleges she paid Lan- ger to work for the release of her son Floyd, who is serving a life sentence in the state penitentiary for the mur- der in Minot of Rudolph Tehelka.

REJECTS AMENDMENT PLAN Will Seek Other Means of Secur- ing Shorter Work Days and Weeks Cincinnati, O., Nov. 26.—(?)—One plan rejected, the American Federa- tion of Labor turned Saturday to other proposals for shortening the work-week. A resolution that the federation agitate for a federal constitutional amendment requiring # six-hour day land five-day week was voted down al- {most unanimously Friday. “We're for the shorter work-week,” President William Green explained “but a constitutional amendment isn’t the proper means.” How the desired abbreviation is to be sought, he said, will “not be de- termined until the proper time—when other committees, also considering the question in different lights, make their reports.” Repercussions of an anti-racketeer- ling stand by the United Brewery {Workers Union, in a separate session |here, sounded in the federation’s con- vention Friday. “For the present,” Green said, “I am content to say merely that the federation is strongly behind any ef- fort to fight racketeering in union ranks.” A proposal for compulsory unem- ployment insurance was expected to come before the convention Saturday. The convention Friday expressed opposition to a sales tax, denied wom- en's auxiliaries a representative, re- affirmed the A. F. L.'s stand for equality among workers, regardless of race or color, voted to unionize chain store employes and to accelerate ac- tivity toward enlisting laundry work- ers. Hindenburg Holds ‘Crown Council’ Berlin, Nov. 26.—(?)—President von Hindenburg held a “crown council” with his closest advisers Saturday and decided to postpone the appoint- ment of a new chancellor for the reich for several days. The delay was believed due to the fact’ Hindenburg wished to ascertain how the reichstag would regard the a] tment of a presidial cabinet ferent than the Junker govern- ment of Chancellor Franz von Papen.

L. V. Miller, chairman of the com- mittee appointed to investigate the advisability of conducting the cam- Paign again this year, reported that there is @ real field for action by the veterans organization to relieve dis- tress and spread holiday cheer. Mill- The biggest need, Miller found af- ter conferences with heads of the Sal- vation Army, the Red Cross and coun- ty and city poor-relief agencies, is for clothing and underwear for both chil- dren and adults and shoes and over- shoes for children of school age. The food situation, he found, is be- ing handled in a workmanlike and adequaté manner and so are most oth- er phases of relief work. In many cases, however, persons ate without proper clothing and undet- wear and some children will be unable to continue in school unless shoes and overshoes are provided. The regular relief agencies are unable to finance purchases of as much of this mater- ial as is needed, Miller reported. Need Shoes, Underwear As a result of this survey the Le- gion campaign will be concentrated on the collection of underwear, cloth- ing, shoes and overshoes and of money which will be used in purchasing these items. The collection of toys also will be emphasized. The committee has ar- Tanged again this year to have prison- ers at the penitentiary repair and re- paint old and broken toys which may be placed in usable condition for dis- tribution to poor families. The tentative plan, as announced Friday night, emphasizes that the “Open Your Heart” committee will accept any donation, either of clothes, food, coal, house furnishings or any (Continued on page three) BELIEVE FIVE LOST | IN TERRIFIC STORM One Great Lakes Boat Goes Down While Two Others Are Missing Grand Marais, Mich., Nov. 26.—(#) —Coast guards searched the shores {of Grand Marais harbor Saturday for 'the bodies of five men believed drowned Friday night when the fish- ing tug Lydie, of Racine, Wis., foundered in a 60-mile nor’wester which swept in from Lake Superior. The Lydia was commanded by Captain Louis Larson of Racine, who, with his crew of four men, went down with the craft as they battled heavy seas at the harbor mouth. The other members of the crew were Thomas Larson, the captain's nephew; Fred Haysen of Racine, and John Tomikiel and Alex Manilla, both of Grand Marais. Coast guards and marine men Sat- urday waited anxiously for word from the Josephine and the Isabella, two other fishing tugs which were out in the storm and have not as yet been sighted. The tugs left Grand Marais four days ago and were due to return Sat- urday. They were believed to have been fishing near Michipicoten island, near the Canadian shore. The Josephine and the Isabella were thought possibly to have gone be- hind the island for shelter from the storm. The captain of the Isabella is James McDonald. Palmer Masse is captain of the Josephine. Both are residents of Grand Marais.

Garner Saturday announced he would recognize a motion to sus- pend the rules for a vote on the reso- lution to repeal the 18th amendment on the first day of the coming session | of congress. The vice president-elect | said “both parties have demanded an opportunity to vote on it and I'm go- } ing to let them vote on it on Dec. 5.” As discussed by Speaker Garner and) Representative Snell of New York, Republican chieftain, Garner would recognize a member to move suspen- sion of the rules ‘and ask for immedi- ate vote on a repeal resolution. With a two-thirds majority required to suspend the rules and a like ma- jority necessary to pass a constitu- tional resolution, Representative Mc- Duffie of Alabama, the Democratic whip, has written members of his party to be present Dec. 5 although ordinarily the opening day is one only of routine business. Under house rules, legislation can be taken up under suspension only on the first and third Mondays of each month. Dec. 5 is the first Monday of that month. Debate would be limited to 40 minutes. In urging adoption of a repeal reso- lution this session, Snell said Friday he favored a plan modeled along the lines set forth in the Republican plat- form, outlawing the saloon and pro- viding federal protection to dry states. Snell long has been regarded as a Prohibition supporter. Earlier Garner, who seeks to carry out the Democratic platform of out- right repeal and modification of the Volstead act as quickly as possible had expressed the “hope and belief; the house will pass a beer bill by Jan. 1st.” The Democrats have decided upon a program calling for legalizing of beer this session and to that end hearings have been set for Dec. 7. Senator Borah (Rep. Idaho), aj leading pfohibitionist, declared Fri- ties of age following an illness of two;day “orderly procedure” would require weeks, Mrs. Trygg came to Burleigh coun-; ty from Sweden to settle with her hus- band on the old Trygg homestead in Gibbs township 10 miles from Bis- marck. She lived there until 1918, when she and her husband left the farm to come to Bismarck. Four years later her husband died and she went to Trygg township to make her home with her son. Mrs. Trygg was a member of a fam- ily prominent in the agricultural de- velopment of Burleigh county and Trygg township was named for her sons, who have farmed there for many years. She died at the home of a son, E. A. Trygg, with whom she had made her home for the last eight years. She leaves five sons and a number of grandchildren. Her sons are E. A., ©. J. and David of Trygg township; Frank, Gibbs township; and Oscar, Los Angeles, Calif. Funeral: services tentatively have been set for 2 p. m. Tuesday at the Perry Funeral chapel with Rev. Bietz of Jamestown officiating. Burial will be in Fairview cemetery. Chinese Government Orders Censorship Nanking, China, Nov. 26.—()—The Nationalist government of China Sat- urday clamped on a censorship against outgoing press dispatches sent by both vernacular and foreign cor- respondents. The action began without announce- ment, and was taken to indicate the government's desire to avoid mention of censorship, which appeared to be in effect on telegrams, wireless, mails, and telephones. The censors seemed to be working in secret since rejected matter was not returned to senders or the latter notified their dispatches had been held up.

Should a resolution be acted upon favorably by the house similar action would be required in the senate before submission to the states for ratifica~ tion by 36 of their number. Predicting states soon would act up- on it in the event of adoption by con- gress, Snell pointed out Friday that all but four state legislatures meet in the coming winter.

With her help, the team trom Grand Forks county, North Dakota, took third place, being bettered only by Minnesota and Iowa. The daughter and granddaughter of Red River Valley farmers, Jean wasn't good enough last year for the team that won second place in North Dakota. Her older brother, Lloyd, made the team. But this year, her revenge was com- plete. She defeated Lloyd in the county preliminaries and led the team to its international honors. |, She'd rather judge horses than any- thing else, with sheep as second choice jover cattle and swine.

At Central high school, Forks, she is a sophomore. Harry Leake, her father, was born on his farm. Her grandfather, a Nova Scotian, homesteaded it in the ’80s. Jean's interests are on the farm, but definite plans for the future haven't been made. She wants to attend the University of North Dakota at Grand Forks rather than the Agricultural college at Fargo.
