RYE FEARS SET AT REST

Fergus Falls.-Circular letters from
commission houses have been received
here advising dealers against the pur-
chase of rye on the ground til t almost
the entire crop is affected with ergot,
dangerous poison and is subject to
confiscation in transit by tho United
States government. AS a res lit, some
of the elevators here and in other
parts of the Northwest have oeen re
fusing to buy rye.
A letter received from III. +, Bjorga
of the state board of grain appeals
announces that there is little or No
basis for the scare. He advises deal
ers to buy rye as heretofore, but sug
gests that farmers clean out as much
of the ergot as possible before brinR
ing the rye to market.

MURDER FACTS ARE KNOWN
Japanese Confesses to Killing Miss
Helen Wood Smith, Mime
apoIis Teacher.

Minneapolis of the confes-
sion of George Kodani, Japanese
to the murder in Carmel, Cal, of Miss
Helen Wood Smith, former drawing
teacher in Minneapolis, have reached
Miss Smiths Minneapolis friends and
tell of the robbery motive for the MUIR
der which was at first concealed by
Kodahi according to Ruel p. Smith,
the girls brother.
Following his arrest, Kodani told
many stories before he finally broke
down completely and he claimed to
have known Miss Smith for some
time. He also said she had ended her
own life but denied this when it was
shown that the murder was commit
ted in her own bungalow.
Mr.. Smith said his sister had seen
the Japanese, who was a cook at the
summer home of a friend where she
and another Minneapolis woman had
boarded. She had advised him con-
corning his amateur photography,
Smith said, and on the day of the
murder had submitted art work to her
for criticism.
Miss Smith went to the door and
called in neighbor and asked her to
view the pictures also and incidental
ly told her she did not want to leave
the Japanese boy in the house alone.
Shortly after the neighbor left the
murder was committed, according to
the evidence deduced. According to
Mr.. Smith it showed that his sister
had been struck over the head and
choked to death. Then her body was
wrapped in steamer rug until night
when the body was taken to the sand
dunes and buried.
Arrested and released for lack of
evidence, Kodani was sought for Sec
ord time when evidence was obtain
ed, according to Mr.. Smith, and after
his stories of an acquaintanceship and
that she had ended her own life, he
finally broke down and admitted that
robbery was the motive.

of Commerce men said who have been

= Had the allied forces in the Euro
pear war won a decisive victory, trad
ers said, there would be much heav-

Farmers told travelling men for
Minneapolis firms, when asked about
what they purposed doing, that they
believe the longer the war lasts the
higher grain will go. Anything that
indicates the approach of the termina-
ton of the war will mean heavy SELL
ing by farmers, country elevator men
said, and whatever makes it look like
long war will mean more persistent
