FRAZIER URGED
TO SEND GRAIN
MEN TO GOTHAM
Congressman George M. Young
Believes Barnes Should Be
Told the Truth

Governor Frazier has been urged
by Congressman George NJ. Young tc
prevail upon DR.. E. F.. Ladd, head Of
North Dakota's grain grading depart
ment, members Of the state railway
commission and its inspection service
and a strong delegation of grain
growers to attend conference set for
August 26 with Julius H. Barnes,
head of the United States grain cor.
poration, in his New York offices
The purpose of the conference, Mr.
Young advises, is to impress upon
Mr.. Barnes the justice of the grain
growers contention that selling grades
should be based on milling values
alone.
Grain growers from all the north
western wheat states are to attend
this meeting, advises Mr. Barnes. He
urges that North Dakota delegates
come supplied with a liberal assort-
ment of samples of this years crop,
which is, owing to drouth conditions
light and shriveled, but which is said
to have an unusually high milling
value. C. A. Lyman of Washington
representing federated farmers or
ganizations, warns the governor of the
Importance of this conference, as.
serting that unless something is done
to precent it, radical wrongs to the
producers may be worked by the con-
suming public of the large cities in a
frenzied effort to adjust the living
situation.

Maria, Tex, Aug. 21.-One
bandit is believed to have been
killed and two others made pris-
oners by American troops who
crossed the Rio Grande into Mex
leo on Tuesday morning. An
American cavalry sergeant, it is
reported, rode to the border last
night and reported that Captain
Matlack, had captured two ban
dts. One Mexican was killed
Tuesday American aviators,
The American troops slept last
night Of the trails Of the bandits.
Bandit Chase Resumed
AS soon as it was sufficiently
light this morning to follow the
trails, the American punitive ex-
pedition in Mexico took up the
bandit chase for the third day.
One column picked up the ''hot
trail" of two bandits believed to
have been companions Of the two
captured late yesterday by Cap
tain Matlack.
At sunrise airplanes left here
for Presidio, 60 miles south,
where a flying field base for the
expedition has been established,
Landing there and getting gas
oline and oil the airplanes flew
across the Rio Grande and along
the Conchos river valley to pick
up the trails. The cavalry re.
sumed it's work of scouting. Cav
airy columns are searching out
every canyon which could pos
sibly be the hiding place Of the
bandits.
The work of the aviators is
considered extremely dangerous
because there are few landing
fields in Mexico. It is necessary
to fly close to the ground where
the bandits may fire on the avia-
tors as they did Tuesday.
Would Have Mexicans Cooperate
Colonel Langhorne, American army
commander in the Big Bend district
today suggested to Cosme Bengoechea
Mexican consul at Preside, Tex, that
the consul communicate with General
Pruneda, Mexican commander, who
now is near Cuhillo Pardo, and sug-
gested to Pruneda that American and
Mexican troops cooperate in pursuing
the bandits who captured Aviators
Davis and Peterson.
