NJ HARG IS CALLED
AS FIRST WITNESS
WILL TELL CLAPP COUNTY COM
MITTEE OF PREcoNvENTIoN
WORK FOR ROOSEVELT
AMONG NEGROES.

washington, Sept. 2S.-Ormsby Me-
tHarg of North Dakota and New York
and not j. Pierpont Morgan, as origi-
nally planned, will be the frst wit
ness to take the stand Monday when
the Clapp campaign committee begins
Its public hearings. 1t was learned
today that Mr.. McHarg will be inter-
rogated relative to matters other than
the financial end of the Roosevelt pre-
convention campaign.
1t Will be recalled that Mr. McHarg
did great deal of work in the south
ern states prior to the republican
national convention held at Chicago in
June. Mr.. McHarg took hold of the
situation by direction OF Mr.. Roose-
velt. The charge has been made that
Mr.. McHarg's activity among south
ern negroes aroused a good deal OF re-
sentiment on the part of the southern
white leaders, and that the Clapp COM
mittee will question Mr. McHarg rela-
tive to this phase OF the campaigning.
To Fix Another Date for Morgan.
J. p. Morgan today notified the SEN
ate committee that he would be I'm
able to appear Monday. The word from
Mr.. Morgan came late this afternoon
while Senator Clapp, chairman of the
committee, was away from Washing
tom having gone to Cumberland, Md
to address a bull moose meeting. An
other date will be arranged to suit the
convenience of Mr.. Morgan.
If McHarg's testimony is concluded
the first day In time to permit the
calling of other witnesses, the commit Z

MUCH GRAIN
IS STACKED
Little Sprouting Between Here
and Lisbon +.
Continued on Page Two.

ThreshiRg, cutting and plowing were
all seen by the F'argoM Commercial club
members yesterday INorning and aft
ernoon from the train windows as
the train went To and came from Lis
bon, where the club attended the great
corn show.
There were scores of gang pIows ut
work in the fields, and in several in
stances the plowing was about done.
Several of the farmers along , the
road were cutting their flax and two
different threshing gangs we're seem at
work.
The fields were drying nicely and
the roads were by no means so bad
as they were expected to be found.
On two or three farms men were
at work turning, over the shocked
wheat, and the interior of the shocks
looked splendid. No cases of sprouting
grain were heard Of
Secretary Cooper, who occupied a
seat beside The Forum representa-
tive on the trip down, said that he
fully expected to see the shocks in the
fields looking green and that he was
simply delighted to see that such
was not the case. Farm after farm
showed that the owners had taken pre-
cautions against sproutinE by stack
ing, and there were hundreds of these
stacks.
Col. William "A. Scott of this city,
who was with the party, secured a con-
veyance and went out to have look
at his farm near Lisbon.
While / found signs that the vel
vet chaff had sprouted some" said
the colonel to The Forum, II must say
that / was very much pleased to find
it not one-tenth as bad as expected.
In fact. it is not badly injured at all.
The other, varieties of wheat did not
show signs of sprouting. Some of the
wheat may be affected little as to
grade, but the wonder to me is that,
with the heavy rains that fell inces-
sanity for days, that matters are not
100 times worse think the farmers
of this section of the state are to be
congratulated and should be feeling
