FIRE CONTINUES 10 RAGE IN ARGENTINA TOWN; TOLL MOUNTS Oil subsidiary, spread over the ter- ritory. Marines and police speeded the evacuation of Campana. Hardly a house in the city of several thousand was left undamaged. The explosions were felt in Monte- video and other Urguayan cities, some as far as 60 miles away. Transatlantic freighters were men- aced.* Traffic is heavy on the Par- ana river near the city and it could easily be covered -by burning oil, now pouring from the tanks and spreading freely.

ADD 18,000 CATTLE TO STATE'S QUOTA McKenzie and Morton Counties Allotted 70 Cars Each For Shipment This Week An added quota of 15,000 cattle has been granted to North Dakota over the 24,000 regular weekly allotment by M. T. Morgan, St. Paul, in charge of shipping cattle for the federal gov- ernment, it was announced Wednes- day by M. E. Tindall, supervisor for cattle shipments in the state. Thirty-four hundred head will be moved out of McLean county which been allowed the largest county apportionment of the new quota. All cattle must be cleared by Friday night, Tindall pointed out. Special grants above the regular weekly quotas lead Tindall to believe that the federal agencies at Wash- ington and Morgan have come to realize the critical condition of the cattle situation in the state. Last week in two special grants the state ‘shipped 31,000 head of calves and cat- tle above their regular allotment. Early frosts which stunted fall growths of hay in the northwest tier of counties last week made the feed Situation in those counties consider- ably more acute, Tindall stated, and the largest quotas were assigned in these areas. Heaviest loadings of the new grants will be made in the Soo Line terri- tory, he said. Major quotas of the new grant include McKenzie and Mor- ton with 70 cars each; Ward, 65 cars; Mountrail, 60; Grant and McHenry, 55 each; Logan, 30; Burleigh, 25; Em- mons, 20 and Burke, 15.

The refer- ence was to President Jouett Shouse, tormer executive chairman of the Democratic national committee. “This is a government by majori- jes,” said the Hurley statement. “When the policies of congress and the executives are distasteful, a ma- jority can change both policies and Personnel. “I am opposed to minorities trying to rule!” Purther repercussions eppeared like ly, in view of Representative Wads- worth (Rep., NY.)—a potential con- tender for presidential nomination two years hence—being among the lcague organizers along with Alfred E.

Ole H. Olson. The petition was signed by Math Fin- berg, V. Carlson, Howard Myers, Dail Moffitt, and Walter Wemer. Basis for the petition for removal is that she is still register of deeds al- though she has been “disqualified by reason of her plea of guilty in district court Jan, 6, 1934, to a charge of fail- ure to charge and account for official fees.” The petition claims she pleaded guilty as the result of “embezzlement, and appropriation to her own use” of a total of $1,147 and further alleges she is guilty of “misconduct, malfea- sance and embezzlement in office.” Best interests of the county and state require that the acting governor immediately suspend her as register of deeds, the petition declared, asking further that she be removed perma- nently.

Authorities saw in the return of the men to the bag shop, remodeling kitchen and boiler room indications of a break-up of the “strike” of the convicts, The ultimatum of officials was in effect: No work, no eats. This punishment was decided on chiefly because the entire prison pop- ulation, except the kitchen men, re- fused to work Tuesday and remained locked in their cells, Seventeen alleged leaders of an up- rising late Tuesday night—which was subdued by tear gas and clubs—were taken from their cells Wednesday and Placed in the prison’s “Klondike,” where they were given the M. Gas” treatment which nauseated them. They were returned to their own quarters. Meantime, virtual calm had re- turned to the Graterford branch of the penitentiary, 25 miles from the city, where rioting convicts did $40,000 damage in last Saturday's rebellion. Under towers bristling with machine guns, the prisoners left their cells for the first time since Saturday, and were marched to the dining room for breakfast. Cast Iron Pavement Planned for U. of M.
