State Bank Examiner Says There Will

Wheat - Some Politics Also Mixed
With North Dakota Finances. l.

BISMARCK. \. D., Dec. 8.-Twenty-
two state and one national bank have
been closed in this state resulting in an
acute financial situation. o. f. Lofthus
state bank examiner, says:
I'm my opinion, the financial situation
will not be relieved until the farmers be-
gin to sell grain. There is no indication
as yet that the farmers are willing to sell
their grain at the existing price. Only
when the farmer begins to liquidate his
debts will the banks DE able to meet their
obligations. The constant drain on the
banks, created by the refusal of the
farmers to sell, is depicting their re
serves and necessitating their closing.

hundred tobacco growers, refusing to sell
their tobacco at the opening of the Green
River district market Monday, had con
ference and appointed a committee to de
wise means to hold their crops until higher
prices are offered. The prices were the
lowest since 1915, and were declared by
the growers to be below production cost.
There were 100000 pounds of tobacco
offered for sale, of which only 270,255
were purchased. at an average price of
S723 a hundred pounds. This compared
with S2215 a hundred on a sale of $50, 900
pounds the opening day last year.
Tw0-thirds of the growers refused to
sell preferring to retain their crops until
prices commensurate with production costs
are offered. All burly tobacco sales were
rejected. The price offered averaged
S1S.95 a hundred, against $306S last
year.

PRESIDENT REBUkES
SPENCER FOR SPEECH

WASHINGTON, Oct. 5.-President
Wilson today wrote to Senator Spen-
Ger, Republican, of Missouri, that the
statement recently made by the SEN
ator that the president had promised
American military aid to Roumania
and Serbia in the event of the invasion
of those countries was false
Senator Spencer's address was de-
livered in Missouri and when 1t was
called to Secretary Tumulty's atten-
ton, Mr.. Tumulty gave out statement
to correspondents of st. Louis news
papers declaring that the Senator's
statement was "absolutely and I'M
cualifedly false" Senator Spencer in
turn issued a statement saying he did
not believe the President had author
lied such a denial.
The Presidents letter was in reply
to this statement. 1t follows:
Il have just been shown your state
rent that my secretary's denial of the
previous statement by you that | had
promised American military aid to
Roumanians and Serbs was issued by
him without my knowledge and sane
ton, and that you did not for a moment
believe that I made any such denial Or
that the matter was ever called to my
attention"
Il wish to say that your statement
was called to my attention by Mr..
Tumulty and that l requested him to
issue the denial to which you refer.
I reiterate the denial The statement
you made was false

LARGE CROWD HEARS
BRILLIANT SINGER

When Mary Ann Kaufman Brown
sang at the Murray theatre Tuesday
morning under the auspices of the
Woman's club, every seat in the house
was filled and many in their eager
ness to hear the brilliant singer
stood up in the back of the theatre
and on the stairs, some holding child
rem in their arms during the whole
performance.
That she satisfied the expectation
Of her audience was shown in the pro-
longed and enthusiastic ovations
given her. Not only does she have a
beautiful voice and faultless tech
nique, but stage presence of charm
ing graciousness as we'll. She sang
Caesar Franck's lie Marriage Des
Roses" with exquisite expression, and
was encored heartily. After the song
a large bouquet of roses was pre-
scented to the singer.
Mr.. Palm Delights.
Augustus O. Palm delighted the au-
dience with his playing and his quiet,
unassuming manner. 'Lyrique Alger-
ienne," one of his own compositions,
received much applause and request
was sent up by the audience that he
give another selection, before the close
of the program.
Bizet's Aria of Micaela" from Car
men, was magnificenely sung by the
soprano. Throwing her whole person
atty into the song<she carried the au-
dience with her. Her range Of express
sion was wonderful. Mary Ann Kauf-
man Brown does not have to depend
upon her voice entirely to please,
though we'll she might. The stage
setting with gay cretonned wicker
chairs and a tall red shaded lamp be-
side the piano, made an artistic back
ground.

General Makno's flying raid on Khar-

that city, has contributed to the con-

along the Dnieper river has become
more critical. 1nsurgent bands are re-

He stated that one might be led to
believe that conditions were good if
they took a short trip through the
country, but that upon investigation it
was found that the plight of the people
was pitiable in many places. Germany
is not utterly broken as is Austria, he
stated.
The chief difficulty is food. People

German crops were good the past year

AGENTS OF GERMANY
EXPECTING PAROLES
(By Associated Press)

LEAVENWORTH, Kas., Oct. 5, -
Officials of the Federal penitentiary
today awaited instructions for the re-
lease of Eckhart H. Won Setback and
Franz Won Bopp, former consul gen
eral and vice-consul general for the i'm
perial German government at San
Francisco, who, it was announced,
have been granted paroles. 1t was
said the former German agents would
probably be set at liberty during the
day.
The two German plotters were
brought to the prison in the summer
of 1918 to serve sentences Of five years
each for violating the neutrality of
the United States. They were con-
victed of setting up a plot on United
States soil to overthrow British rule in
India with the object of weakening
Great Britain's efforts in the world
war.
