BREAKING DOWN
OF PARTY LINES
Says Primary Results Indicate
Opposition to Military Men
and League of
Nations.

Arthur Mullen, defeated demo
cratic candidate for the Office OF ma.
tional committeeman, has made the
following statement in regard TO the
recent primary election:
THE results in the primary clearly
indicate that party ties do not have
any hold on the ordinary voter. The
returns disclose that about one third
of those who formerly called them.
selves democrats went into the re.
publican primary. Hundreds oi
people nominally republicans, prin.
cipally women, went into the demo
cratic primary. This crossing oi
party lines on both sides was suf.
hcient to change the result.
German Vote Shifts.
"This is particularly true of those
townships where the people are OF
German descent. This shifting of the
German vote, together with the fact
that the Nonpartisan league vote
was generally cast in the republican
primary, explains the great increase
in the republican vote. The appeal
made to republican women who
were radical prohibitionists induced
large number Of them to come
into the democratic primary.
"The effect of this crossing of party
lines will be far-reaching and import
ant. just what the final result will
be is matter of speculation. When
democrats nominate republican can
didates, party regularity and party
responsibility is at an end. I an,
opposed to this decentralization OF
the party plan of government by
those who are not interested in
either the candidates or policies OF
the party.
Oppose Military Men.
"The results indicate clearly that
the voters generally are opposed to
military men. 1t is also apparent
from the vote cast that there is a
deep-seated, sullen. opposition to the
league of nations. The vote cast for
Senator Johnson, who is one OF
the irreconcilables. is evidence that
there is strong opposition to a
league Of nations, with or without
reservations. The fact that Senator
Hitchcock and his friends were
strongly in favor of the league and
stood with the president was an i'm
portant reason why those who were
opposed to the league of nations
voted in the republican primaries.
II am thankful to the many friends
who loyalty supported ma in the
primary. am grateful for the CO.
operation and assistance that I have
received from the loyal democrats
of this state in the past campaigns

Bismarck, N. d., April >25.-Ap-
parently killed by shotgun fire, the
bodies Of Jacob Wolf, his wife,
their five children and boy em-
ployed on the farm were found on
the Wolf farm, three miles north
OF Turtle Lake, Mclean county, by
a neighbor. When John Kraft en-
tered a barn on the farm he found
the bodies of.Wolf and one of his
daughters lying on the floor.
Not seeing the rest of the family,
Kraft went down into the basement
where he found the bodies of Mrs.
Wolf, the other children and the
farm laborer.
No Evidence of Struggle.
There was no evidence of any
struggle, according to reports from
the Wolf farm and as Wolf is not
known to have had any enemies the
sheriff's Office is unable to offer any
theory of the tragedy. 1t is positive,
however, that the deaths were
caused by gunshot fire, as wads
from shells were scattered around
the house and barn, indicating that
many shots had been fired.
The only member of the family
that escaped the murderer's fire was
the youngest child, baby girl, Just
passed her first birthday. The child
was almost famished and in weak
ened condition, indicating that the
murders had been mmitted at least
IA hours before the eight bodies
were discovered.
Early reports from Turtle Lake
fail to give any details regarding the
finding of the bodies. other than
those related above, and the mystery
is regarded as one of the most star
ting and impenetrable ever recorded
in the police annals of North Da-
kota. 1t is believed by the author
tiles at T irtle Lake, it is said, that
the seven people were murdered by
one or more persons, who made
their escape without leaving any
,lue.
Officers in Dark.
Ina smuch as the Wolf farm
is more or less surrounded by 9TH
er farm homes. it is. difficult to
understand why neighbors failed to
hear the shots. Kraft, according
to his story. had noticed Friday
that the Wolf washing was on the
line and this morning when he
passed near the place, he saw the
washing still hanging out, and in
ye3tisatcd,
Wolf was about As years old
and was popular in Turtle Lake. He
was last seen alive Thursday morn
ing bv a neighbor. 1t is believed
the crime was committed Thursday
n;eht or Friday morning. The
children, all but one OF whom were
Killed, range from l3 years to year
old.

Mexico Settles British
Claim for Be1tOn's Death

WASHINGTON, Nov. Great Britain
has agreed to settlement Of the claim
against Mexico, growing out Of the
killing Of William s. Benton, d British
subject, near Juarez. on February II,
1914 Mexico is to pay $4,000 cash
to Mrs. Benton and a pension Of $3.50
day as long as Mrs. Benton remains
unmarried.
Cunard Cummins, British representa-
tive in Mexico City, concluded the
agreement with the Mexican govern
mcnt.
Benton, whose wife is native of
Mexico, was killed when he went to
Francisco Villas headquarters to pro-
test against outrages committed by
Villistas in the Juarez region. The
American government was looking after
British interests in Chihuahua State at
the time and the British Ambassador
Immediately asked the State Depart
ment to conduct an investigation.
Carranza cXonerated Villa at the
time, but American Consul Edwards at
Juarez reported that Benton was killed
at Villas headquarters, and this later
was confirmed by George c. Caruthers
American consular agent and for many
years resident of Mexico.
1t has been understood here that the
Benton case was one Of the prime pal
reasons for the refusal of the British
government to recognize the Carranza
regime

Small Increase last Year
In Comntrv's Lumber Output

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-The produc-
tion Of lumber in the United States in
1919 by 1888 mills that cut approximate.
ly one-third of the output of the coun-
try was but 3 per cent greater than
IN 1918, according to a preliminary re
port being complied by the Bureau Of
the Census, in cooperation with the
Forest Service. On the basis of 32,000,-
100000 feet production for 1918, this
would indicate a total cut for 1919 Of
approximately 80, 100 100000 feet.
The largest state increase OF 1918
over 1873 is shown in Washington,
where 124 mills report 2S5G,909 900
feet in 1919 and 2,732,O 2,O54,000 feet in
1918. The largest decrease is ind-
Gated as in Minnesota. where twenty
onc mills cut 1873, ,787 900 feet less in
1919 than in 1918. Ninety-six mills in
Louisiana, the second largest lumber
producing state in the Union (Wash-
ington is tirst) cut 1850 $40 600 feet IN
1919 or 93,022,000 feet less than in
the previous year In 1919 Oregon, the
third largest lumber producing state
fell slightly below its production OF
1918 according to reports of thirty-one
mills.

few minutes the Delawanna came about

Esperanto followed suit. Both went

came about it was expected they would
be able 20 make the finish line. The
wind had hauled more to the north
however. md neither could do it.
Three miles from the finish the
American had opened lead of nearly
mile. She had been pointing higher

make short hitch to clear the leeward

out Of 5000 union bakers were on
strike, but the employers representa-

the bakeries affected are in Brooklyn.
August Burchardt, chairman of the
journeymen bakers negotiating com
mittee, said the bakers were on strike
at four large bakeries and about thirty
five smaller shops. Walter D. Ebinger,
president of the association Of bakery
owners, believed that the union mem

but he said that new men had been

duction in the bread supply.
The bakers demand an increase from
$38 to S42 a week for benchmen and
from $44 to SAT for oven men. Mr.
Burchardt said that all except 10 per

was willing that the return of King
Constantine to the throne of Greece be
made one Of the issues for the Greek
people to decide in the coming elections.
The speech Of the Premier is construed

the formation Of republic in the
Premier's address.

King Albert, according to the Petit

noon hustled to the Commonwealth
Pier, South Boston, where the White

When the relief forces arrived at the

but when the customs officials were

Inc customs inspectors on Saturday
seized 600 bottles Of liquor which had
been hidden IN various parts of the

the members OF the crew, but no imme-

customs officers continued their search
and were rewarded by the discovery Of

Says Foes Poisoned Dogs
Jersey Judge Stood Venerable
Eggs, but Death of Ribbon
Winners Was Too Much


GLOUCESTER. n. j., Nov. 1.-The
mayoralty campaign in this city
reached its climax to-day, when Justice
Of the Peace Frederick Kirby, the In
dependent candidate, accused his po-
litical foes of poisoning three of his
fifteen ribbon winning dogs.
The dogs, which were found dead in
the kennels, were Daisy K, ST. Ber-
nard, valued at $1,000; Albert, an Eng
lsh setter, valued at $4,000, and Mix
ture. an English setter pup, valued at
$1,000. They died from eating ground
glass, which had been mixed with their
food
Up to the poisoning of his dogs, VEN
cradle but still vigorous eggs were the
worst misfortune the justice of the
peace had suffered at the hands of his
enemies
