ENTIRE STATE
Is AROUSED BY
GRAIN SITUATION
Discrimination Between
Southern and Northern
Grower Unwholesome
CITIES CONTINUE
TO WIRE PROTESTS
Rather Than Sell at $1.65
Farmers Would Feed
Wheat to Hogs

Bismarck, N. D., Aug. 22.-I have
notified the national price fixing
committee of conditions now existing
in North Dakota with regard to the
grain market" said Commissioner of
Agriculture and Labor Hagan this
morning.
Il have endeavored TO impress
upon them the fact that IL North
Dakota farmers and grain growers
OF the north generally do not get a
square deal now, 1t will result in the
Abandonment Of wheat raising by O.
very large percentage Of them.
THE southern grain grower whose
crop was harvested early has been
allowed 10 profit from $3.50 to 80
wheat Now the government pur-
poses to step in and tell the northern
farmer that he must accept less
than 81. The condition Is decidedly
unwholesome. At Dickinson, am
advised, only $1.3s was offered last
Saturday for No. Northern. The
same dav the RUSSELL Miller CO. here
was paying 81.
good credit can of course borrow
something on his wheat and hold 1t,
but even then 1t is with little GER
tainty that a fair price will be oner-
ed later on. The man who has no
credit and who Is hard up must sell
now and take what he can get, ana
that man isn't going TO raise wheat
another year, no matter how great
an appeal may be made to his patrl-
otism.
EFT isn't grsping selfishness, it's the
spirit of unfairness OF the whole
thing that hurts, and for the sake
of an adequate food supply next
year / sincerely hope the price nx-
ing committee will take into con-
sideration the unfavoraole eondi-
tions under which the northern
farmer has labored this season and
Ak 4 price which will pay the ccst
OF producing the grain and allow q
fair profit."

There will be no military camp at
Farmngdale this summer. 1t was an
nounced yesterday at meeting Of Ma
tional Service School of the Women's
Section of the Navy League at the
Hotel Aston.
1--WE have decided TO do away with

devote all our efforts 10 the serious
business Of food conservation" said
Miss Alice Carpenter. who originated
the plan. "Of course, II would have
been fun to have the military camp.
she added. land perhaps some girls
would nave attended who would not
take the same interest in service
schools in the city, but on the whole We
can learn nothing in the camp that we
cannot learn in the city, and 1t viii
cost much less
The initial cost of oquipping the
camp would have been S2l 900. and of
this only a part would have been recov-
cred in the tuition fees of the students.
The Navy League expects to send 10
the Farmingdale School Of Agriculture

June /. They will take the three
months course, which will equip them
20 manage farms of their own or teach

Edwards Denies Labor
Backs Fight on Burns
Testifes at Hearing on His
Appeal to Revoke the
Agency's License

Edward Williams Edwards. who is at
tempting to have the license Of the
William J. Burns international Detec-
tive Agency revoked, testified yesterday
at a hearing before Deputy State Con-
troller William Boardmsn in the Wool
worth Building that the Burns agency
had offered to sell the proceedings of
a closed meeting of the American Fed
GRAFTON of Labor for $25. The witness
said that when the advertisement ap-
peared the proceedings of that meeting
could be obtained in pamphlet form
for 25 cents.
He denied that organized labor was
behind his action, and said the hunt
for evidence in the Office of Seymour h
Seymour was what had moved him to
act. Something had 10 be done, he
said, or even homes would not be safe
from private detectives.
Meier Steinbrink, counsel for Mr..
Edwards, after Burns's counsel, Job E.
Hedges. had intimated that the detec
tives were acting in the interests OF the
United States government in the Sey-
mour & Seymour case, said that he
would show that Burns acted flor the
other side" as much as for the United
States or the Allies. Mr. Hedges COM
blamed that several private detective
agencies were at work against his client
and that he was compelled to believe
that there is something back of the
charges other than the complaint
shows" The hearing was adjourned
until Friday morning.

Washington. May ia tentative
basis of agreement for averting a
threatened strike of coal miners in the
central Pennsylvania district was
reached at a conference Of representa-
tivcs of both sides tonight with Sec
rotary Wilson Of the Labor Depart

None Of those present at the confer
cncc would divulge details Of the pro
posed agreement. except to say that
there would be no suspension of work
About $4,000 men had voted TO walk out
en- MAY IL. and il is understood strong
pressure was brought TO bear by the
Federal government TO bring the two
sides together and prevent Gripping of
coal production in the national emery
Cncy.
Federal officials. earlier in the day,
had told the operators and employees
that they must get together in the in
tercst of national defence. a score OF
representatives Of both sides spent
the day and much of the night in con-
ference with Secretary Wilson, officials
Of the Federation of Labor and the
Council of National Defence.
The miners. by referendum had dis
avowed the wage scale agreed on by
their representatives, and in addition
to pay increases, had asked for changes
i'm their working conditions. Their de-
mands had been refused BY all opera
tors.
Most Of the output Of the mines in
the district goes TO concerns working
on government contracts.
Under the national defence act the
President can take over and operate
through government agency and in

Scientists Plan
To Transplant
Human Kidneys
Juror Finds Vivisection Neces-
sary if Race Is To Be
Benefited

Baltimore. May 11.-That Johns
Hopkins research scientists expect TO
be able to transplant kidneys or other
vital organs from one body to another
is the report made by William c..
Schnabel, a member Of the January
Term OF the Grand Jury. who made i
special investigation of the vlvisectlon
problem.
Mr.. Schnabel took up the matter be-
cause of the inability Of the Johns Hop
kins Medical School to obtain enough
ANIMALS for experimental purposes.
He watched operations upon dogs.
He examined the pens and cages in
which they were kept. He talked 10
DR.. William II. Welch and DR.. Win
ternitz about vivisection and the care
of animals, and the necessity for their
use in research and experimental
work. He became convinced that it
was necessary for these institutions
to have constant supply OF healthy
animals. so that the human race might
be benefited.
Mr.. Schnabel quoted one Of the doc
tors as saying they had succeeded in
transplanting a kidney from one dog
TO another and that lit will be possible
to replace or transplant kidneys or
other vital organs from one human be-
ing TO another"
~ saw a dog" said Mr.. Schnabel,
"from which one entire kidney and
one-half of the other had been removed,
and this dog certainly did not show any
signs of discomfort"

In response to the query OF NJ. NJ
Dolphin, Lamar's counsel, as TO whether

Charges Swann's
Aids Coerced City
Club Witnesses
Counsel Asserts District At
torney's Office Suborn-
ed Perjury

A charge that the District Attorney s
office had coerced witnesses into com
hitting perjury was made before Judge
Mcintyre in General Sessions yester-
day by John Kirkland Clark, associate
counsel for the City Club. which is
prosecuting District Attorney Swami on
charges of misconduct in Office.
Mr.. Clark had entered motion for
the transfer Of the case of Barnet
Engel. witness against Mr.. Swami, to
the Supreme Court. Engel was in
dicted for perjury and pleaded guilty
before Judge Mcintyre. but recanted
before Commissioner Ingraham. saying
he had pleaded guilty or promises by
Mr.. SWANS assistants that If he CON
fossed he would not be sent to prison.
Mr.. Clark argued that it would be
"uncthical and unfair" for Mr.. Swami
or any of his assistants TO prosecute
the case. Judge Mcintyre reminded Mr..
Clark that the latter had been an AS
sistant District Attorney and ought to
know District Attorneys never Suborn
perjury"
There are lot of things which have
happened recently in the Office Of the
District Attorney which | never heard
Of before" retorted the lawyer. "and
still maintain that it will not be fair to
have those who suborned this witness
to commit perjury to have anything to
do with prosecuting him"
Judge Mcintyre then announced he
would transfer the case for trial before
Judge Rosalsky on May %, but Mr..
Clark replied that Judge Rosalsky had
publicly announced he thought the City
Clubs charges were foolish anG insin-
cere." Judge Mcintyre replied hotly
that he did not believe it. He per
mitted Engcl to withdraw his plea OF
guilty, and held him in $1,000 bail for
trial before Judge Rosalsky.
