AKOTA sATlJRDAY Y AUGUST
Harvest STARTS
4 FAIR CROP
e Harvesting is well along in all
parts Of the country. In a few in
fstances farmers have even started
Ithreshing. Most Of the threshing
rigs have. been over hauled and are
ready for the fall run. The crop in
most sections Of the county, not
touched by the hail, will be better
than last: year. The general condi-
ltions will be much better, as the
Iprices on all grain are higher that at
this time last year. Though hail
struck many portions Of the county,
NEARLY every farmer was insured, SO
there will be few total losses. II The
quality Of the wheat will probably be
below the average Of last year, which
fis due to the few days of extreme
heat and wind received in July. The
fblue stem wheat seemed to be the
worst effected, as nearly every field
Iexamined has been found to have
shrunken grain. This will cause the
wheat to be graded No. 2 and pos
tsibly No. 8. The maccaroni wheat
seems to be scarcely affected while
the same seems to be true of the
marquis, new variety, which is be-
ling tried by many farmers this year.
Had it not been for the hot spell the
Icrop would certainly have been a
Bumper. AS it is many fields of
wheat will yield better than 20 BUSH
tels to the acre and the average will
possibly be around IL to 15 bushels.
s. In the South Heart neighborhood
tthreshing has already started. At
1.-THE Andrew Miller farm the George
Davis rig started up last week. The
lswheat there ran around ~ bushels to
| the acre. It was somewhat shriveled.
Showing the result Of the hot weath,
lers Threshing at the Perdaems'
farm southwest Of town was started
ithe middle of the week. The yield,
where the hail had not hit the grain,
Twas good. One of the best crops
lnear South Heart is at the w. a..
lThornton farm. ! The grain has ali
lbeen cut and the threshing will prob
lably start next week. The wheat is
fexpected to yield between 20 and Is
bushels to the acre. The Odenthal
ibrothers out on Green river have
Their grain Il harvested and were to
Ithresh the last of the week. Walter.
(on1.ssssf the brothers, was ia Dickinson
latter supplies and attending to busi-
tness matters on Monday and he
thought their wheat would Weld
around 20 bushels. It is the rnacca-
ROM variety. They expect to thresh
this. season through the country north

BATTLE ROYAL IS PROMISED
SENATE FACTIONS READY FOR
RESERVE BOARD FIGHT.
Democrats Supporting Wilson for
Jones' OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
Refuses to Be Questioned.

Washington, July 13.-Democratic
senators who propose to stand by
President Wilson In his fight for con
firmation of the nomination of Thomas
D.. Jones Of Chicago as a member of
the federal reserve board are engaged
IN preparation for the contest when it
reaches the senate through the unfa,
vorable recommendation voted by the
banking and currency committee. 1t
is conceded that a battle royal is
ahead, in which the president will be
forced to clash with some members of
his own party.
AS to the action of the committee in
deciding to postpone further consider
alton Of the nomination of Paul M.
Warburg of New York, unless he
changes his mind and decides to ac-
cept the committees invitation to ap-
pear before it and submit to question
ing, there were few actual develop
ments. At the White House it was
evident that the president had deter
mined to champion Mr.. Warburg's
nomination to the end, the New York
banker having agreed to let his name
stand should the committee not insist
on his appearance. The action last
week, however, is taken as an indica-
ton that the committee proposes to
insist upon his appearance and to do
nothing further with regard to his
nomination until he is heard from.
There was a suggestion current about
the capitol that an understanding
might be reached as to what the com
mittee wants to know from Mr.. War
burg, and that the banker was in
formed that there is no desire to pry
into personal affairs to an extent that
might be embarrassing to his clients,
but the committee merely wished to
satisfy itself that there were no pres
ent distractions to his qualification.
Upon such a basis some senators
thought Mr.. Warburg might consent
to appear.
The committee will meet again,
after which Senator Hitchcock, the
acting chairman, expects to submit to
the senate the adverse report on the
nomination of Mr.. Jones. A favor
able minority report will be made by
Senators Lee of Maryland, Hollis,
Pomerene and Shafroth. In connec-
ton with the majority report an effort
may be made to introduce the testi-
monyo Of Mr.. Jones relating to his con
nection with the so-called harvester
and zinc trusts, which formed the
basis for opposition to his confirma-
ton. The first test of strength may
come over such an effort.

STORSTAD BLAMED
FOR SHIP DISASTER
INVESTIGATORS FIX RESPONSE
EILlTY FOR WREcKING OF
EMPRESS OF IRELAND.
DECLARE OFFICER NEGLIGENT
Inquiry Board Ends Probe of Disaster
of May 20 in Which 1882 Persisted
in ST. Lawrence
River.

Quebec, July 13.-The collier Stor-
stad was held to blame in the findings
reported following the investigation
into the sinking of the steamship EN-
press of Ireland on the morning of
May 20 when 1882 lost their lives.
The Empress of Ireland was rammed
by the Storstad and sank almost i'm.
mediately. The report found RESPONSE
bility divided on some points.
The Findings.
The board of inquiry in its report
submitted by Lord Mersey found that
the Storstad ported her helm and thus
brought about the collision. The opin.
ion is expressed that Captain Ken.
dalps action in stopping his ship was
good ~seamanship, but the suggestion
is made that his failure to give a wider
berth formed a contributory cause OF
the accident.
The inquiry into the disaster was
begun in Quebec, June 16, by a com
mission composed of Lord Mersey,
formerly presiding justice of the Brit
ish admiralty court; Sir Adolpho
Routhier, of Quebec, and Chief Justice
Mcleod, of New Brunswick. The COM
missioners were assisted in their work
by Commander F. w. Claiborne of the
British Royal Naval reserve. Profess
sor John Welsh. of Newcastle, ng.,
Captain Demers, of the dominion
wreck commission and Engineer Com
mander Howe, Of the Canadian naval
service.
Third Officer Held Responsible.
The GOLFERS third officer found re-
sponsible is Alfred T~uftenes. He was
on the bridge when the crash occur
red.
I'VE regret" says the finding, ito
have to impute the blame to anyone
in connection with this lamentable
disaster. We can, however, come to
no other conclusion than that Mr..
Tuftenes was wrong and negligent in
altering his course in the fog as he un-
doubtedly did and that he was wrong
and negligent in keeping the naviga-
ton of the vessel in his own hands
and failing to call the captain when he
saw the fog"

Mineola, N. Y. July 13.-It will be

Mrs. Carman's examination before a
justice of the peace, set for Monday,
when she would 60 free. she had
hoped, because of lack of evidence
against her, has been deferred until
July 81. This change was asked for
by the prosecutor with two ends in
view-that he might present the case
before a grand jury and also have
more time to seek corroborative and
stronger evidence. Mr.. Smith said he
would go before the grand jury Tues
day.

BRYAN DEFENDS
PROPOSED TREATY
SECRETARY OF STATE ISSUES
STATEMENT DISCUSSING
COLOMBIA.
SAYS S25, 100000 IS JUST
Declares Southern Neighbor Is Out
Several Millions in Excess of
This Sum by Our Act.
Replies to Critics.

Washington, July IA. - Secretary
Bryan issued a statement defending
the proposed treaty TO settle the diff
ferences between the United States
and Colombia over the separation Of
Panama. The treaty has met vigor-
Gus opposition in the senate, and for
mer President Roosevelt has attack
ed 1t as a vehicle for the payment of
"blackmail."
Says Loss Exceeds $25, 10000
Mr.. Bryan declared that it was nee
essary to discuss only the fact that an
estrangement exists, and not the
events which gave rise to the differen-
ces; and that regardless of whether
Colombia has a just grievance against
her more powerful neighbor, no one
would deny that the former country
sustained great financial loss, consid-
erably more than the $25, 900, 900 which
the United States would pay under
the treaty, through the separation of
Panama.
AS to the expression of regret on
the part of American government, to
which opponents of the pending con-
~vention offer their bitterest objection,
the secretary said this was almost
Identical with a similar expression in
the Du Bots memorandum on the basis
of which the Taft administration I'M
successfully sought to placate Colon
bia.
