NORTH DAKOTA MEN ~ MAKE SUGGESTIONS ~ ON DROUTH REUER Recommendations for National Taken to Washington by Hopkins’ Aide Recommendations by North Dako- ta experts as to the best manner of fighting the drouth in this area were taken back to Washington Saturday by Jacob Baker, assistant to Relief Director Hopkins, after a conference here Friday afternoon, ‘The meeting was divided into four groups to discuss land classification and utilization, the surface water problem and construction of dams by men on work relief, livestock drouth relief and the canning and process- ingeof cattle to utilize the meat lo- cally for relief purposes. Later all four sections met in a group conference at which recom- mendations for a united program were made. These were taken to Wash- ington by Baker and his colleagues in the federal relief administration. It was the general opinion that land taken over by the counties for taxes, on which it has been demon- strated that people are unable to make a living, should be turned into grazing or recreational areas, prefer- ably by the construction of dams for the conservation of water. The surface water committee si gested that some minor phases of the Missouri river diversion project could be undertaken by men on re- lief work. Whether or not diversion is attempted, these projects would be of such a nature as to merit con- struction regardless of the larger pro- posal. It was agreed that, where equipment is available and the pro- cess seems feasible, livestock should be canned for distribution in the state. E. A. Willson, deputy relief administrator, said Saturday, how- ever, that he knows of no place where such equipment is available in North Dakota. Home canning of meats for local use was considered most feasible. Those at the meeting in addition to Willson and Baker were W. H. Ford, Des Moines, regional engineer for the FERA, in charge of work- relief projects; Iver Goldschmidt, Washington, FERA coordinator; Paul Taylor, Washington, FERA research expert; E. F. Graff, Des Moines, rural rehabilitation agent and assistant to T. J. Edmunds, in charge of the re- lief set-up in the northwest area; H. L, Walster, Fargo; Howard Simp- son, Grand Forks, state water geolog- ist; Kenneth McGregor, Page, live- stock expert; B. E. Groom, Fargo, of the Greater North Dakota associa- tion; Judge A. M. Christianson, John Williams, Miss Pearl Salsberry, Clyde Barks, Harris Robinson, and Reuben Stee, of the state relief organization, and N. T. Findahl, Medora rancher, member of the drouth-relief livestock committee.

Mason from Congressman William Lemke. Enrollment at the Wahpeton Indian school, however, will be re- duced somewhat under present plans, the telegram advised. Both schools will continue in opera- tion, Lemke said, but at Wahpeton three teaching positions will be dis- Pensed with, one of the teachers be- ing slated for transfer to the Turtle Mountain reservation school. The schools here and at Wahpeton serve the dual purpose of boarding schools and homes for orphaned In- dian children, from 20 to 30 children remaining in each school. during the Among schools recently closed by order of the office of Indian affairs, Mason said, is that at Fort Yates on the Standing Rock reservation. Ma- son is leading an effort. to keep it open, contending that its closing would work a hardship on Indian children now enjoying educational- advantages re. thority from his superior, George F.) kota, Grand Forks, where she is . ‘in school. Also there 1s no provision for transportation and due to the drouth and attendant shipping out of livestock the Indians have little in- come.”.

CONTINUED from page one Move Designed to Shatter Deadlock On Final Verdict 52 hours after they had received the case. What the situation is among the jurors could not be ascertained, al- though all sorts of rumors continued to fly through the streets of Bis- marck. The jurors were in constant ses- sion until 5:30 a. m. Saturday and when they finally decided to get a little sleep the report was spread that a decision had been reached. This report proved erroneous, however, when the jurors appeared for break- fast at 9 a. m., and then went back to the job of attempting to adjust their apparent differences of opinion. Friday was a long and wearing day for the 12 men upon whom rests the decision as to whether the defendants should go free or possibly be sen- tenced to prison terms. Receiving the case shortly after noon Thursday, they deliberated un- til midnight, taking time out only for lunch. Going back into session at 9 a. m. Friday, they took a 45-minute respite for lunch and then returned to the jury room in the federal building, where they remained in continuous session until 5:30 a. m. Saturday morning. Early in,the evening they requested three blankets and two pillows and at midnight they asked for and were served a lunch consisiting of 40 sand- wiches and five pots of coffee. That was the sum total of the word from behind the closed doors where the fate of the governor and his alleged co- conspirators was being debated. No Time Limit Set How long the Jury will be in session depends, of course, upon its ability to reach an agreement or the time when it comes to the conclusion that an agreement is impossible, Federal Judge Andrew Miller, who presided at the trial, indicated Fri- day that he would permit the jury to reach its own decision as to the pos- sibility of agreement or disagreement. The trial lasted nearly four. weeks and the assumption has been that the judge would be unwilling to accept a disagreement until the last chance of reaching s verdict had been ex- hausted. That there still was a chance for agreement Saturday afternoon was inferred from the fact that the jur- ors had asked no additional instruc tions from the. judge. A report that they had returned a verdict of dis- agreement but that the judge had re- ‘fused to accept it, was in error. Despite the strain of their long ses- sions, the jurors appeared cheerful came from breakfast at the Patter- son Hotel, shepherded by the three baliffs, they seemed in genial mood for men who had been up most of &t.

A. Kinzer, former secretary of the federal relief set-up, all sitting together. Sitting apart were Attor- neys George Thorp and E..R. Sink- ler, Thorp in his carpet slippers. The defendants watched intently as the men with whom their fate rests filed by. That all was not crgument within the jury room was indicated by the call for a deck of cards, indicating that some of the men were seeking a bit of relaxation, and by the fact that occasionally a pair of feet could be seen propped up on the windowsill. Glimpses into the jury room from the outside indicated that most of the jurors were in their shirtsleeves. While the jury labored, interest in the outcome of the case ran high. Nu- merous long-distance telephone calls were received by The Tribune Friday night from persons in all parts of the state who were curious to learn if a decision had been reached. Three possible verdicts are open to the jurors. They are “guilty” or “not guilty” as applied to all of the de- fendants. The third alternative is to find two or more guilty and the remainder not guilty. The fact that one alone cannot be held guilty and the others excused is due to the legal requirement that it takes two or more Persons to participate in a conspiracy. The 12 men on the jury are: Lester T. Crist, Grassy Butte, fore- man; Charles Lueck, Gardena; Ed- ward Arnegard, Hillsboro; John Jones, Garske; Otto Roder, Easby; and A. D. Scott, Fargo, all farmers; J. Brady Fargo auto dealer; R. C. Hul- lett, Mandan, credit company official; Albert Anderson, Hillsboro furniture dealer; Nick Eckes, retired auto deal- er; R. D.

Refinancing of Farm Mortgages and Repurchasing of Farms Through the Federal Emergency Farm Mortgage Act of May 12, 1933. This Emergency Farm Mortgage Act Terminates May 12, 1935 Farmers contemplating refinancing or repurchasing under this Act should make application AT ONCE in order to have land appraised this summer and fall. If your application is not appraised during the season of 1934 and a great many applications are filed during the winter of 1934-35, your application may be one of the many not appraised before this Emergency Act terminates on May 12, 1935. Local Secretary-Treasurers will make up your application. Many farmers are waiting for the Frazier-Lemke Bill to become a law before filing their application. Congressman Lemke, co-author of the Bill, is in favor of farmers taking advantage of the present Federal Refinancing Act. We quote a portion of letter received from him dated October 11, 1933: “I suggest that the farmer take this toehold and save his home if he can under these laws and then we will get the Frazier Bill later on and he. can come in under the Frazier Bill.” In other words, Congressman Lemke expects the interest rate on all mort- gages carried by the Federal Land Bank and Land Bank Commissioner to be re- duced by proclamation as soon as this legislation passes. When the Frazier-Lemke Bill is enacted into law it will mean the refinanc- ing of the entire farm indebtedness of the United States. It will take several years to appraise and refinance all of these farms. You may be one of the first, or you may be one of the last to be appraised. This is the reason we are urging “you to make application now. Creditors all over the State are cooperating in this refinancing program. Any farmer who is engaged in farming operations may secure a Federal Loan. Loans to farmers may be made for the following purposes: (a) Refinancing any indebtedness. (b) Working capital for farm operations. (c) Repurchase farm property foreclosed on after July 1, 193}. Please feel free to discuss your refinancing problems with the following people who will treat the information confidentially: qd) Lal Secretary-Treasurers of the National Farm Loan Associa- ns, (2) Any representative of The Bank of North Dakota. Keep The Bank of North Dakota advised of the progress of your loan. 0 Bismarck, North Dakota. '
