T0WNLEY MEETS
ANOTHER DEFEAT
IN OLD MORTON
Farmer Stockholders in Weekly
Newspaper Decline to Lis
ten to Big Chief
MEES AND NAGEL WINNERS

tMandan, N. D., July 22.-Townley
met with anaother severe defeat in
Morton county yesterday when he
failed signally in his efforts to gain
control Of the Morton County Farm
ers' Press. A stockholders meeting
called by Townley agents was attend
ed by IS shareholders, who listened
to an address by Walter w. Liggett,
a former st. Paul newspaperman who
heads the Townley publishers press
bureau, and then went home. Approx
imately 325 Morton county farmers
are shareholders in the corporation,
and Senator F. w. Mees of Glen Ullin
and Simon J. Nagel of Haymarsh, a
member Of the state board of con-
troll, held enough proxies for PREFER
ed and common stock to make the
efforts OF the Townley faction ridic-
ulous.
Notices of the meeting were pub
lished in rival weekly which
is read, it is said by comparatively
few stockholders in the Morton
County Farmers Press. A majority
of those who attended the meeting
are reported to have been the more
radical among the Townley men In
this county.
Liggett told the stockholders how
the Townley press bureau controls
I the newspapers 1t organizes BY re,
tanning the common stock, each share
of which carries a vote, while the
owner of preferred stock has but one
vote, regardless of the shares of the
number of shares. II this had been
done in the case of the Morton
County Farmers Press, Liggett stat
ed, Townley could have ousted Mees
and Nagel and the farmers who stood
with them, and could have taken over
the newspaper. 1t is understood that
Townley is particularly anxious to
control the Morton County Farmers
Press because there is, no other
league organ in this county which
the. state printing and publication
commission. which comes into exist
ence Saturday, can designate as the
official county newspaper.

FRANCE WILLPAY
ONE FIFTH COST

America to Receive Twenty Per.

Docks and Railways

Paris, Tuesday, July %, (By the AS.
sociated Press) France will offer to
take over American military property
in France, consisting mainly of docks,
railways and real estate at one-fifth
of its cost to America, according to
a statement given the Associated
Press today by Louis Morel, under
secretary Of state for the liquidation
Of stock. M. Morel said that what
seemed to he low offer in reality is
liberal, because much of the military
construction will be Of little value in
peace times, and much of the prop
erty such as railway equipment was
designed for use different from that
required for French operation. The
French governments proposal to he
made through M. Morel will be pre-
sented to c.. w. Here, American di.

Government Agent Declares
Trial Was :. Inconsistent

Washington, July 23.-Thomas J.
Mooney did not receive full justice
in his trial at San Francisco for his
alleged connection with the prepared
ness day bomb explosion, according to
a report prepared by John B. Dens-
more, formerly special agent of the
department of justice, through his in
vestigation of the case for the govern
ment. The report, dated November 1,
1918, was submitted to the house to-
day in response to a resolution.
"The plain truth is" the report said,
"that there is nothing about the case
to produce feeling of confidence that
the dignity and majesty of the law
had been upheld.
"There is nowhere anything re-
sembling consistency. The efforts
appear to be a patchwork of incon-
gruous makeshift and often a desper-
ate expediency."

REDS SHOOT TEN
IN BREAKING UP
SOCIALIST MEET
Spartacans and Communists
Raid Majority Group in

RADICALS SMUGGLED IN
Beer Bottles, Glasses and Tables
Used as Missiles by OBJ
structiOnist Crew

Berlin, Tuesday, July 22.-(By the
Associated Press Ten persons were
shot during disorders which attended
the breaking up Of majority socialist
meeting by communists and sparta

the trades union building, attempted
to lynch the man who fired the shot,
but he was. saved by hospital help
ers who were in the building.
g Several majority socialists meetings
held late yesterday did not develop
as smoothly and as quietly as they
began. Communists and spartacans,
by prearranged plans, smuggled fel.
low radicals in the halls where ma
jority socialists were congregating
and there broke up the meeting by
cat calls and other noises and even
violence.
At countless meetings, the major
itV socialist speakers gave up at
tempting to speak after one-half hour
of shouting and in the trades union
building, where the biggest meeting
was held chairs, beer bottles, glasses
and even tables were flung about in
successful attempt to break up the
meeting. Several shots were fired.
Some ten persons were wounded.
Government troops had to Quell
riots in other halls.

You can ward off this trouble and
secure thousands of more miles from

course, this must be done before the

Of fabric. In case you are in doubt 1t
is always best to consult with your SER

In most cases the reliner should be
applied by your repairman, but If you
wish to do it yourself follow carefully
these directions:
/. Thoroughly clean both the re-
liner and inside of the tire with good
gasolene.
2. Apply to the inside Of the cas-

and allow it to dry until it becomes
