Grand Forks.-That one Of the
greatest needs Of the northwest is

secure capital and credit at more rea.

President F. L. McVey Of the state
university. President McVey spent
the summer months studying condi.
tons In Germany, Denmark and other
european countries. In Denmark the
farmers have co-operated and are able
to command capital at not over five
per cent. In discussing this important
subject President McVey said:
! am thoroughly convinced that
what our farmers in the northwest
need more than anything else is not
conservation Of forests, nor increase

James Brown, negro cook on a
lake steamer, indicted on charge
of murder.
The negro ex-pugilist's last
hope of immediate liberty dwin-
died today when Judge Carpen-
ter, sitting in the federal court,
refused an application for a writ
of habeas corpus.
Johnson was taken TO jail last
night after Judge Lands refused
to accept as sureties Tony May
and Albert I. Jones, professional
bondsmen. Jones was also ar
rested for trying to put over what
Judge Lands called dirty piece
of work" on the court and is held
on a charge of contempt Of court.
He may be indicted for perjury
because of statements he made
when he attempted to qualify as
bondsman.
The first act of the negro when
taken to jail was to break the
camera of a newspaper reported
with his ivory-headed cane. For
this warrant was sworn out for
him in the municipal court, and it
was served this morning at the
iail.
