Iiston was selected by the North Da-
kota Bankers association as the 1914

board in attempting to control the
location of new banks.
Favor speedy enactment Of none
tary laws which will give to the
whole country, a fair and equitable

Tells Of Statement Published
by Arbuckle

Washington, June 19.-Melville e.
sociated press testified at his own re-
quest before the senate lobby COM
mittee regarding claims contained in
the correspondence of Clarence C.
Hamlin, as to the publicity, beet sugar
men had hoped to obtain through the
associated press.
Stone presented all his letters and
records bearing on the demands of the
beet sugar interests for publicity
through the news association.
He testified that Oct. IL. 1911, John
Arbuckle, a sugar refiner, when leav-
ing for Europe, gave out the state
ment favoring free raw sugar. The
statement was carried by the as
ISOLATED press. He said on Oct. Is,
short statement by Clarence C.
Hamlin at Colorado Springs, answer
ing the Arbuckle statement, was car
ried by the associated press. The
Arbuckle statement was 1900 words.
Hamlin's, $50.
Hamlin then wrote Stone, asking
that beet sugar interests be given as
good treatment as the sugar refiners
He said local representative Of the
associated press agreed to handle $50
words representing the beet sugar
mems position. This Stone said the
representative had no authority to do,
saying the correspondent may have
been an empIoye of Hamin,s paper
for all he knew,
Stones reply to Hamlin,s letter SAID
the Arbuckle statement was carried
because of its relation to the high
cost of living, which has been sub.
Aject of keen interest in the United
States" He said it was the desire OF
the associated press to be impartial
but Hamlin's statement was received
at a time when the wires were crowd
ed with important news, which, q
suppose forced the Denver Office to
abbreviate the statement
Frank c.. Lowry, one OF the lead
ers in the free sugar campaign, was
called to the stand to be questioned
about "the wholesale grocery commit
tee.' Lowry couldn't produce any
files or correspondence. He said,
They just got lost"

RAIN OVER
NORTHWEST
Soaking Showers Have Fallen
IN Last "a Hours
Total Rain for Week Here Has
Been .7S
Heavy Rains Fell ALI Over the
State

The value OF the moisture which has
fallen over the northwest since last
Monday is inestimable Generally it
has been called million dollar
doWnpour" and some optimists have
even gone higher than that. s
The total precipitation for the past
three days up to z: 40 a. m. today was
officially reported at the Moorhead
station as .7s of an inch. According
to reports, there is not field but
what has been wetted more or less IN
sections where the lands are OF the
light kind more wetting would have
been acceptable. In the country about
Bismarck and west of the Missouri
river the wettings have been just about
as needed and from the fact that
forecasts indicate still more rain to-
night and tomorrow the general feel
ing of optimism is very strong.
Beneficial to Corn and Potatoes.
Emphasis is given, to the beneficial
results which will soon be seen In the
corn and potato fields, and fields in
which there are fall crops, particular
ly fall rye. Yesterday there was a
rainfall of 20 Of an inch at Bismarck
and the county seat and north Of there
"A vast amount OF good, too, has been
done to the hay and pasture lands
which were in dire need Of the wet
tings they have received, for the wind
of the last week had given them a
setback. And after the recent moisture
the farmers are appreeiating the cool
weather which is the rule, and which
means so much to the young plants
of the growing crops. The minimum
here today was SO degrees and the
maximum yesterday 6S degrees, with
a light breeze from the north. All
Of the conditions for the growing crops
in North Dakota and the whole of the
Red river valley are favorable and
the faces of merchants and bankers
indicate it.

RETURNED

Washington, June 19.--Three tired

strenuous investigation in the coal
strike district of West Virginia. Sena-
tors Swanson, Kenyon and MARITIME
concluded for time the examination
of witnesses at Charleston and return
ed to the senate to take UP their leg
islative duties.
During the week the committee ex-
amined nearly 100 witnesses, worked
ten and twelve hours a day, often sit
ting up till after midnight to hear
about 100000 words of testimony.
The COMMITTEES will resume its hear
ings here within a. few weeks and con-
slider charges of coal operators that
the miners union is leagued with the
operators in competitive fields iri

When the committee resumes. the
operators will press the complaint that
MARITIME has prejudiced the case
against them. The attitude of Mar
tine will probably be considered by q

presented to the full committee on ed
ucation and labor.
