WHEAT PRICES
DROP SHARPLY.
!. ON EXCHANGE
General Agitation for Cut in
Food Prices Held Responsible
For Weakness

Chicago, Sept. 24.--Big breaks in
the price of wheat took place today,
largely as result of agitation for a
general cut in food costs. The smash
of values in wheat amounted to as
much as IL ga cents a bushel, and
the market closed in semi-demOral~
lied condition. December delivery ut
S2.25 to $227 and March at $2.15 to
$2.2O.
Heretofore wheat has been advanc.
ing despite the setbacks in the price
of other grains. The chief reason
ascribed for such strength was huge
sales of wheat for export to Europe.
Today. however, the stimulus of ex-
port business appeared to have lost
its influence and especially near the
end of the day the wheat market
tumbled wildly downward.
In sympathy with the weakness OF
wheat other grains also gave way
and both corn and oats fell to the
lowest price levels yet for the 1920
CrOD.

Reports that the detective employed

new evidence in the case of Henry
Layer, serving life term in prison
for the murder of eight persons near
Turtle Lake in April, reached here
today.
Taking the position that some one
besides Layer was implicated in the
crime the investigators have been
tracing down clews and interrogating
many farmers in the Turtle Lake re-
gion. Although Layers relatives
hired lawyers to bring action to gain
for him trial, no petition for a tria!
has. been filed.

Miss Minnie J. Nelson, superintend-

Dakota schools but is not fighting the

where she appeared at the request Of

speech, according to Twin City papers
was listened to with eagerness by
representative women, who approved
her plea to protect the schools from
becoming pawns of socialistic political
leaders

that the head of that board is a man
who declares he has gone beyond So

She declared that socialists selected
the books for the North Dakota public
library commission "and placed il
those libraries for featured circula-
ton books that you and l would not
allow children to read?"
She urged the new women voters Of
Minnesota to jealously guard the
schools of the state against such at
tempts to use them to foster in the
minds of child socialistic doctrines
and make the schools one Of the chief
agencies of socialistic propaganda.

INCREASE
is OFF AGAIN
BY NEW ORDER
Supreme Court Restraints Roads
and Sets Monday as Time
for Hearing
NEW POINTS INVOLVED

The supreme court on next Mon
lay will hear arguments on a petition
Tor an injunction against the enforce
ment of the new railroad commission
order granting railroads an Increase
Of 35 percent in intrastate freight
rates and 20 percent increase in pas
senger rates.
The court arrived at this conclusion
late yesterday after consideration of q
petition filed the day before by Will
liam Lemke, as special assistant At
torney-General.
The court will take up questions at
he hearing which were not dealt
with in the previous injunction grant
I'd against the first railroad commits
sion order increasing rates. Chief
among these is the allegation Of
Lemke that sufficient notice was not
given of the public hearing held in
the senate chamber at the capitol
August II, which was attended by
score of railroad men and representa-
tives of many shipping organizations.
Would Modify Decree.
The injunction granted by the COM
mission last week was based solely
on the contention that the proceedings
Of the commission were not technic-
ally correct. The commission recti-
lied this matter when it promulgated
the second order.
The court, in setting the time for
argument, granted restraining order
against the increases, which were au-
;horized to become effective Sept. 26.
Lemke is asking a modification Of the
original writ of injunction, to include
he new order Of the commission.
T0wnley in City. '1jr
The action of Sam Aandahl, chair
man of the commission, and Dupuis,
vice chairman, in issuing the new or
der is said to have caused consider
able CONSERVATION among league lead
ers. A C. Townley was in Bismarck
yesterday afternoon, comforting with
the Governor and Lemke. Lemke re-
mained here until the suprme court
acted on his petition.
