F. L. Watkins has thrown a bomb
into the camp of the federal officials
at Fargo whom he said were not
taking up their duties in suppressing
whiskey runners as they should. It
is now denied that he meant North
Dakota democrats but that he meant
the federal officials and now these
chaps want Mr.. Watkins to 60 before
a federal grand jury and tell what he
knows about them not attending to
business. There is one thing sure he
has galvanized some of them into ac-
tons and his bomb throwing may re-
suit in some good at least. It is not
a bad plan to once in awhile throw a
little pep into the officials to make
them realize that they have mission
to perform in life besides drawing
their salaries and if they want to they
can do lot Of good towards curbing
this whiskey running traffic.

AMERICAN TRADE WITH
EUROPE Is IMPROVING

Galveston, Tex. Nov. 2l-CondI-
tons in Europe are gradually re-
shaping themselves and American
trade is improving generally, said
Silas d. Reid, treasurer of the
Texas Cotton Factors and Ware
house company, upon returning
from a four-months' tour abroad.
Mr.. Reid visited Italy, Spain,
France and England,
Asserting that the European out
look is mot as depicted to us here
at home" Mr., Reid said he believed
that trade both here and abroad
would be on sound basis within
twelve months.
In Italy. he declared. there re-
mains hardly any evidence Of the
recent factory seizures. The peo-
pie there, he said, have plenty of
money and are buying almost reck-
Iessly. Furthermore, he added
they are not neglecting to work
while they are spending.
France is at present suffering
from general high prices, Mr.. Reid
said. but he believed this condition
would soon vanish. Englands out
look, he added, can be portrayed
best by pointing to her world-glrd-
ling merchant marine.

captured near Oconto, Neb, FRI
day after a sensational escape from
a train near Broken Bow, Neb,
was returned to Kansas City today,
The Union station was thronged
with persons anxious to see the
prisoner, but there was no dem
onstration. Chester, thanked by
detectives, was hurried to police
headquarters. Fifty young business
men, friends of the Barton fami y,
assisted the officers in guarding
Chester.
Efforts to question the prisoner
failed to elicit any response. lie
refused to make any answer to
even the simplest questions. II has
been suggested that possible injury
to his head from his attempt at
self destruction at Broken Bow
had affected his brain.
Chester at first refused to eat
food given him at police headquar-
tiers. However, while no one was
present in the cell with him, the
food left with him disappeared.

Thomas Nicholson Of Chicago,
chairman of the reorganization
committee in charge of the llqui-

for the committee to complete its
work, he said.
None OF this sum can be used to

if the various churches and board
pay these in full. the movement
will be able to meet all its obliga
tons up to the time the committee
reports.
