RUM0R SPECIAL
SESSION TO BE
CONVENED SOON
Talk Rife Around Capitol Fol
lowing Visit of A. C. Town
ley and Ray Crag
SALARY RAISE QUESTION
Some County Officials Want
More Money-Also Talk New
Laws by T0wnley

Talk of a special session Of the
legislature in October was rife in the
capital city today.
Rumors that there might be spe-
cial session, and a long conference
held between Governor Frazier, A. G.
Townley and Ray Craig, with William
Lemke also in the city, were followed
by widespread discussion of the prob
ability.
There has been agitation on the
part of some county officials for in
creases in salary. AS the Legislature
cannot increase the salaries for an
elective officer during the term 70!
which he is elected, it would be neces-
sary to have a special session if sal
aries for the biennial period begin
ming January l were raised
Another ground for special ses
sion, according to the talk, was the
desire OF the league leaders to put
through certain measures before the
present personnel is. succeeded by
newly elected legislators in Novem-
Der. 1t is hardly possible, it is point
ed out, that whether or not the league
should win that the next Legislature
will be as docile as the present one
A third suggestion has been that
the league. leaders want to make
changes in certain laws, particularly
regarding the Bank of North Dakota,
to avoid the success of the initiated
measures and meet the growing dis
satisfaction with the present course OF
the institution.
Townley held a lengthy conference
with the Governor behind closed doors
while, it is understood, William Lem
Ike paced the floor on the outside.
T0Wnley has left Bismarck and
Governor Frazier was not at his Of
flee. Several state officials said they
had heard talk of a special session
to increase salaries but did not be-
lieve one would be held

their parents, and although the acci-
dent happened in the morning the
parents were not advised until late in
the evening.
An X-Ray examination showed that
the boy had narrow escape and had
the bullet struck quarter Of an lnch

play in the window of H. L. Weather.
wax, Williston jeweler, tells wierd
tale of the mortal combat of the
forest.
The antlers were found recently by
Il. Milhouse, rancher living in Nc
kenzie county Mr.. Milhouse states
that the condition of the ground and
brush surrounding the dead bodies Of
the deer indicated that a terrific battle
had taken place. The brush had been
broken down and the ground paved
up for a distance of 20 feet on all
sides Of the bodies.
From the number of points on the
antlers and the large carcasses, it is
evident and the two mOnarchs of the
forest that battled so ferociously for
supremacy were of considerable age.

FIXING CHIEF
JURY SUBJECT
Report That 100000 Raised to
Get Chicago Americans to Lose
Series is Considered

Chicago, Sept. 25.--The Cool
county grand jury investigating al
legged fixing" of games in last years
world series and charges of gambling
by major league players has found
such convincing evidence Of crooked
work that it will not disband when
it's term expires Sept. 30. but will
continue it's investigation in special
session, it was announced after adj
journment until next Tuesday.
The ramifications of the alleged
gambling were so widespread that it
would be impossible to compelete a
thorough i. inyestig,li3n during the
regular session, Henry Fl. Brigham
foreman, said. ,
The jury has received evidence
which indicates an attempt by a ma
tionwide ring of gamblers to pol,
lutte baseball and ruin the great ma
tional game in the same way boxing
was killed and horse racing cruel
fed" Mr.. Brigham said in state
,ment summarizing the investigation
Few Players Involved
Comparatively few players are i'm
plicated, however, said Mr.. Brigham
only a 'few weak moraled and weak
charactered men" having been worked
by the professional gamblers.
President Charcls A. Comiskey of
the Chicago American league club
said he had not had the full sup
port of President B. 3. Johnson OF the
American league in his attempts to
run down charges of crooked work by
some players on his team. After
seeing his statement. President
August Hermann Of the Cincinnati
club, Chicago's opponent in the worlds
series, said "he knew positively Presl-
dent Johnson made an eager investl-
gatiOn.'
President Johnson, when he testl-
fed before the grand jury Wednesday,
told reporters he had given the jury
evidence which he believed proved
that star players .had attempted to
throw games last year."
SOx fold to Lose
A statement attributed to President
Johnson yesterday quoted him as
saving he had received reports that
gamblers who we're said to have
fixed" last years worlds series had
threatened Chicago players impli-
Gated with exposure if they won the
pennent this year and had told them
they must lose in the present series
with Cleveland. The two teams have
split the three-game series thus far.
The third game will be played tomor-
row at Cleveland.
Jacob CRube") Benton, New York
National pitcher, in his testimony be-
fore the grand jury today reiterated
previous statements that a Pittsburgh
gambling syndicate had raised SlOO,-
600 which was paid to Chicago Amerl-
can players to throw" games in the
world series.

RESERVE BANK REPORT

Minneapolis, Mimi, Sept. 25.-"The
ninth district has not raised q bumper
crop, but in money value it has raised
a crop of outstanding consequence,
says Chairman John H. Rich, Of the
Federal Reserve bank, in the bank S
monthly report on crop and business
conditions in the northwest
'On the basis of these estimates the
money value Of the cereals plus the
amount Of corn that will be marketed
and sold is approximately 5000, 10000
This estimate does not include say
which for the ninth district as a
whole, is nor Ne valuable than wheat
1t does not include livestock or dairy
products, the large potato crop, dry
vegetables poultry fruit and other
products contributing substantially to
the return from agriculture 1t ap-
pears to be entirely safe to estimate
the present value of agriculture and
livestock production Of the district this
year at $1,250,O00,000 This is an
amount more than sufficient to liqui-
date the Indebtedness of the northwest
and leave an ample margin as foun-
the coming year. = ,'"'-'s
Lack Cars
The transportation question Is the
chief deterrent, it is said. The north
west has not received the number of
empty grain cars which were prom
ised, it was stated. The reserve bank
urges local traffic committee to super
wise the unloading of cars to facilitate
movement of business.
The problem Of securing sufficient
bituminous coal to meet the normal
industrial needs of the northwest dur
ing the coming winter also remains
unsolved, it is stated.
Decrease in Wheat
AS compared with a month ago
there has been a decrease in the pros
pective production Of all cereals but
corn, the report says. There is de-
crease of about 7 million bushels of
wheat in each of the four states Of
North Dakota, South Dakota, Mime
sofa and Montana. An increase in flax
production in South Dakota of 10 per
cent is reported. Unchanged produc-
ton of oats, barley, rye and flax is
noted in Minnesota unchanged pro-
duction of barley, rye and fax in
North Dakota and unchanged pro-
duction of oats in South Dakota.
The favorable progress of the corn
crop is characterized as respectfully

men was an accomplice of Horace
Walton, of St. Joseph, Mo-, who was
killed by the police after he had taken
nearly 100000 from the same train
and the same clerks last May. Rec
