patrol boats today continued their
search for an enemy submarine which
was reported to have been sighted
submerged in these waters late yna~
terday but no trace of the craft has
been found.
Marine observers did not believe
it possible for a submarine to sub
merge in the Roads or lower Chesn4
peake bay because OF insufficient
depth OF water and in this connectlon
they referred TO the fact that the
Deutschland could not 60 under until
after she passed the Virginia capes
last summer.

Beans Poison
Family and Creu2,
Shipments Seized
Carload Brought Into United States by Way of Van
couver and Porta-D Distributed by Wholesale
Houses of Magic City-No Fatalities Yet

Two Instances of bean poisoning,
one at sEllendale, N. D., and one at
Medora, n. D., have been called to
the attention of the North Dakota
pure food department within the past
two days, IT was announced today
and as result, the drive to rid the
middle west of the poisonous Orient
variety Of beans has been renewed
with even greater vigor, the OUT
standing development in the cam
paign being the discovery that the
poison beans were brought into the
United States by way of VAN
couver, b. c., Portal, N. D., and were
distributed by two wholesale houses
at Minot. Neither poisoning case
proved fatal.
The present efforts of the federal
and state agents that are engaged in
the campaign against the poison
beans are aimed at preventing the
future retail OF the beans by store
keepers to whom they have been dis
tributed out OF Minot, and the recall
of the shipments as largely as pos
sible. DIR. e. F. Ladd, head of the
recting the state drive against the
beans
Check Shipping Records.
A cneck up or the records OF the
two Minot wholesale concerns that
handled the beans has been COM
pleted, and each purchaser of beans
since the poison variety was brought
into the state, is being notified to
make no further sales, and to recall
all sales he may have made OF the
poison beans. BY this step. IL Is ex-
pected to reduce TO the minimum the
possibility Of fatalities.
Family Eats Beans.
In the Glendale case reported to
the North Dakota pure food depart
ment, members of a family were
taken i'll after partaking of the
beans. None were Seriously injured.
The beans were sent to the depart

pronounced of the poison variety.
The other case of poisoning was
that of a crew of men near Medora.
Beans partaken of, samples Of which
were sent to Fargo, were poisonous.

Carload Brought In.
Investigation by the authorities
has disclosed that carload of the

into North Dakota and shipped to
Minot. The carload was there diyid-
ed by two wholesale concerns.
The government will maintain an
embargo against the beans. Hereto
fore, it has been necessary to main
tain close watch for them, but the
present Wgh price of the commodity
has influenced Orient shippers to
bring them into the United States.

Agricultural college, is quite familiar
WIN Inc poison Dedug DSSdubS OF the
experience Holland had with them
A cargo of the beans was shipped
into Holland at one time, and lab
orers, engaged in removing the
cargo, were accustomed to filling
their dinner pals with the beans at
the conclusion of the days work.
Many OF them took violently I'll and
several died, with the result that
that particular bean cargo was
Immediately condemned.
DR.. Van Es was, at the time, in

The poisonous bean contains q
gluecoside, which, when acted on by
an alkalf or an engine, win set free
hydrocynic acid, a most deadly
poison.

Headquarters Established
Here County Unit
System is Planned

Telegraphic dispatches from Wash
ington, ID. c., announce the appoint
ment by the American Red Cross of
Judge N. c. Young of Fargo as direc-
tor for North Dakota.
This is the first step by the ma

that in other states.
When asked about the new plans
this morning, Judge Young said: ION

sumo the dictatorship for North Da-
kota; to serve without compensation; |;
to establish headquarters at Fargo;
and to hold the matter under consid-
Grafton until could confer with a
representative of the national ad-
ministration. Following this, a con-
ference was held at which ii was
made plain to me that the national
organization intends to give to North
Dakota as thorough and as efficient
an organization as is possible to make.
The work ahead is big but it is a
great opportunity for service. / felt
that 1t was my duty to accept and
did so.
nSduQuaFIeTa ESTapH9nGus
Headquarters for the state have
been secured in the Edwards block
and the rooms are now being put in
order. An executive secretary will
be secured and placed in charge with
competent and adequate clerical as
sistance.
"The national organization has
found it necessary to organize by
state jurisdictions. grouped into nine
divisions. North and South Dakota
heretofore attached to the mountain
division, with headquarters at Dem
yer, were made a part Of the central
division. with headquarters at Chi
cago. AS soon as the reorganization
Is completed, we may expect efficient
service.
Hereafter the national organiza-
tion will deal directly only with
county units. That will give North
Dakota fifty-three units. Our inn
mediate business. at which we are
now engaged, is the working out of
instructions for the organization of
these county units IN accords nee with
plans laid down by the national or
ganization.
Monies win be collected and re-
mitted by authorized chapters to the
national headquarters ais heretofore.
Our business will be organizing and
supervising.

division will come in about week to
help us in perfecting our state or
ganization and to make certain that
no county units are organized on a
plan not approved by the national or
ganization.
"All communications to the state
should be addressed:
