uLT|MATUM GOING TO GERMANY
Germans Are
Indicted on
Grave Charge

New York, April 17.-Captain Franz
Won Papen, recalled military attache
to the German embassy at Washing
ton, was indicted by the federal grand
jury today as the organizer and finan-
cier of an alleged conspiracy to blow
up the Welland canal in Canada.
With him also were indicted Captain
Hans Tauscher, alleged agent of the
Krupps in the United States, and hus-
band of Madame Johanna Gadski, the
prima donna; Alfred j.. F'ritzen and
another man whose name has not
been revealed. 1t was learned from q
reliable source that the last named
is prominent German, whose name
has been mentioned frequently in con-
nection with German propaganda. His
arrest is expected tomorrow.
Federal officials do not expect to
bring Won Papen to trial. While he
is no longer immune from prosecution
by the United States civil authorities,
since he ceased to be a member of
the German embassy staff, the offense
with which he is charged is not eX-
tradtable under any agreement with
another government.
Clarence r. Hudson, alias Ernest
Schiller, who single-handed seized the
British freightship, Matoppa, off
Sandy Hook on the night of March 20
and compelled the crew to put into
Delaware breakwater, was indicted to-
day for piracy. There were four
counts in the indictments, and In case

Striking Facts.

d awe.
Foregoing are striking facts placed
before the North Dakota railroad COM
mission at its conference this morning
with DR.. E. F. Ladd president OF the
North Dakota Agricultural college,
out of which conference the commits
sion members and DR.. Ladd hope to
bring about a change in the present
basis of grain grading, eliminating
the vast margin that now prevails,
and return to the farmers a greater
profit for their low grade wheat.
Employing grains of lower grade,
which they have determined by their
tests have g, eat milling value, the big
milling concerns are netting a great
prolit-rheir product being sold on the
basis of wheat at the No. 1 price
while, in fact, they are using much
wheat that they purchase for q cents
less per bushel.
Tests Are Definite.
DR.. Ladd explained to the railroad
commission members-Messrs. w. II.
Stutsman, w. II. Mann and o. p. n
Anderson, and Secretary W. c. Cusll-
ing-at the conference at the Waldorf
hotel here this morning, that eXten'
sive tests conducted at the agriculture
al college during the past few years
had revealed the proportionate mill
ing value OF the several grades OF
wheat.
These findings. said Dr. Ladd, bore
out findings previously made in South
Dakota, in Canada, and elsewhere
that the low grade Wheats are capable
of producing excellent flour-and that
the actual difference in milling value
between No. l and the rejected grades
was approximately six cents-instead
of the prevailing established differ
ence Of 21 cents.
Under these conditions, the farmers
are losing Is cents worth of whea,
every time they sell bushel OF mo
grade" or rejected wheat.
Should the state sell only q million
bushels of such wheat a year-and
the total is much greater-the loss to
the farmers is $15O,0OO.
Have Allowed Bigger Difference.
In the South Dakota tests, and in
the Canadian tests, it has been point
ed out that the difference in value be-
tween the two grades of wheat was be-
tween eight and ten cents-but DIR.
Ladd declares the North Dakota tests
show the value to be about six cents.
Supporting the findings of the
North Dakota mill, which is state own
ed. Mr.. Ladd pointed to the fact that
the government conducts practically
all of it's experiments here. maintain
ing two men at the plant all times.
Government officials declare the
North Dakota milling exneriment
plant is not only the best in the Unit
ed States. but the very best plant OF
its kind in the world.
1y-products Increased.
At the time the Minnesota grain
grades were ests blished, and under
which the North Dakota grain is sold.
Dr. Ladd pointed out that by-products
such as SCREENINGS, shorts, ETC., were
worth only from So to s12 ton, while
now such products are worth from $40
to $50 ton-and the farmer receives
nothing additional by reason of that
increase.
Furthermore. DR.. Ladd declared
that the scientific milling Of the pres
ent day, brings so much of the grain
into use. that the by-products are not
so valuable for food purposes as they
