Grand Forks, Sept. 13.-That test
case may develop in Grand Forks az
the result of the efforts Of the Grand
Forks board of health to carry out the
orders of the state board in compell-
ing every school student to be vacci-
mated, was indicated here yesterday
when large delegation of Christian
Scientists appeared before the health
officers and protested to the indorse-
ment of the order.
Hot arguments lasted nearly two
hours, during which H. N. Wells lik-
ened the American Medical association
to German autocrats and charged them
with being ruthless masters Of the peo-
pie. He declared that the enforcement
Of the vaccination ruling was only an
entering wedge to further tyrannical

The charges brought rapid responses
from physicians and board Of health

two vote for the Endorsement of the
state board orders
DR.. Alfred Dean, city health officer,
stated that it was the desire of the
state officials to have test case in

FIGURING Mills
May Be Forced to Shut Down

Minneapolis, Sept. 13.-Because of
in the wheat market and
failure of wheat to arrive from the
country, due to chaotic conditions
growing out of the food act and its
administration, Minneapolis -four.
mills are due to close down shortly,
unless the situation changes.
Minneapolis -four mills never closed
down before in the midst Of the har-
vest season. Washburn- Crosby is one
of the big companies that announces
they probably will have toclose This
company partially attributes the
shortage to a sudden demand of re-
taiers, who allowed their stocks to
become depleted during the summer.
These retailers waited for the gov
eminent to fix a price on wheat or
for other conditions that would make
for cheaper flour.
Many millers, however, declare that
the farmers are holding their wheat
eff the market and that this is the
cause IF the wheat shortage.
Farmers Puzzled
It is undoubtedly true that thous-
ands of farmers who do not under
stand the explanations of the food ad-
and who hope for higher
prices, are not shipping wheat. Other
thousands, who will lose all their ex-
pccted profits this year under the gov
eminent wheat prices-many failing to
make expenses-naturally hesitate
about selling until compelled to, in
the hope that something can and will
he done to give them relief.
Orders for flour that the mills can
not supply continue to pile up here.
The Pillsbury company, the Northwest
Consolidated Milling company and the
Russell Milling company announce
that they faced critical situation.
Representatives of these concerns
agree that unless the receipts of
wheat improve they will not be able
to run without a break more than
another DAY. Receipts today were only
228 cars against 4S1 on the same day
a year ago.

German, Alias Miles
Has Criminal Record

Chief of Police Swanson has receiv-
ed the record of the man arrested here
for burglary. It is not record to be
proud of. Here it is:
Arrested at St. Paul Oct. 18, 1903,
charged with swindling; 30 days in
workhouse.
Arrested at st. Paul Oct 10, 1906,
assault while trying to rob; 80 days in
workhouse, fined 800.
Arrested at Minneapolis April 16,

to state prison at Saltwater.
Arrested at Minneapolis Dec. 49,,
1913, charged with running hop and
opium joint; 1 year Hennepin county
Jail.
Arrested at Aberdeen, S. D., for run
ming hop and opium joint; sent to
county jail for seven months.
So il appears that the police here
have apprehended habitual criminal
with long record of crime to his
credit. There is hardly a doubt but
that he will be convicted in district
court and will spend another period

New York to Have Plenty
Of Flour, Asserts Barnes

New York, Sept. 16.-New York not
only is assured of an abundant flour
supply, but soon will face the problem
of how to take care Of the surplus
which is being shipped from western
mills, according to a-statement issued
by julius H. Barnes, president of the
food administration grain corporation.
"The flour price is asserting itself
rapidly from the wheat price," the
statement said, showing reduction of
flour price generally throughout the
country, and even in New York the
bakery trade is beginning to adjust it.
self. There are stores already selling
20-ounce loaf of bread for ten cents,
which is at the rate of seven cents for
the ordinary loaf. u
'The facts are that the primary mar
keting of wheat is increasing steadily;
that mills are producing greatly in ex-
cess Of flour consumption that more
flour is arriving every day in New
York than New York can possibly con-
sumo; that such railroads as the
Frisco are beginning to report scare
ity of cars because of heavy country
movement of wheat and -four; that
the whole marketing movement is now
under way about three weeks later
than usual, partly because of uncer-
tainty as to what action congress
would finally take, which threw the
winter wheat machinery out of gear,
and partially because northwestern
farmers are preparing their ground
for next years crop instead of rushing
wheat to market, being assured of a
steady price" r..
President Louis Hill of the Great
Northern, tonight declared the great
trouble the farmers in the west have
to contend with is the scarcity of
labor.

Military Activity Slight

Military activities on most OF the
fronts seem at minimum for this
season, when active operations are
still possible virtually everywhere IN
the field Of hostilities.
Rome's official statement, while re-
porting a rectification of the Italian
lines on the Bainsizza plateau does
not mention particularly the fight for
Monte San Gabrielle, which height on
Friday was reported in diplomatic dis
patches to Washington to have been
captured.
On the Franco-Belgian front the
ONLY actions were minor affairs, except
at Verdun, where Paris reports the
French successful in regaining most
of the trenches which the Germans
pentrated north of Courieres wood on
Friday.
On the Riga front the Russians are
still on the aggressive, and their war

in the occupation of several towns.

Minneapolis, Sept Charles =.
Lobdell, member Of the federal farm
loan board, speaking before the Farm
Mortgage Bankers association in con-
vention here today, predicted that
farm mortgages soon would be made
at / per cent rate, and advised bank
ers who cannot operate on that basis
to withdraw from business.
His statement followed the annual
address Of F. w. thompson of Chica-
60, president of the association, who
criticized the federal act and asserted
that the mortgage bankers were facing
a serious situation because Of the
shrinkage in profits resulting from
competition Of the federal farm loan
banks.
President Thompson attacked sever
al features Of the law and predicted
test suits against the tax exemption
feature. He also charged that the sys-
tenn is organized on a political basis,
without regard to civil service and ex-
pressed the belief that the fat rate Of
interest feature would not survive.
Other delegates expressed similar
views.

Bankers first looked on the federal
reserve act as an outrage and said It
would not be successful" Mr.. Lobdell
said in answer to these statements,
''but now in this supreme hour OF ma
