Broo kings, May 10.-Wm.
Schmaucheur, a farmer living in
the northern part of Brookings
county, was arrested and held for
trial at the June term of circuit
court in Brookings county on the
charge of violating the liquor laws.
His place was raided by Sheriff
Nolan and a posse, the officers COM

entered by a trapdoor concealed by
the carpet under the dining room

RAILWAY BOARD
ACTION TOWARD WAGE BODY
TO REPRESENT PUBLIC.

Washington, May 10.-A move
ment to abolish the railroad wage
board as now constituted and TO sub
stitute a board composed of men
selected by the president without
regard for their business affilia-
tions, will assume form in connec-
tion with the investigation of rail-
road conditions to be started tomor-
row by the senate committee on in
terstate commerce. 1t is believed
by senators antagonistic to the pres
ent board that President Harding
will throw his influence against it,,
and that in the legislation that will
be framed for the general better
ment of the transportation system,
the board will pass out Of existence.
The movement is understood 10
have the backing of the railroad cor
porations because the men who are
behind it in the senate are known to
be friendly to railroad interests and
this circumstances has been made
the basis for the assertion that what
is desired most is to get rid of the
representatives of labor on the
board. As now constituted the board
is composed of three members rep
resenting railroad management,
three representing the employees Of
the railroads, and three representing
the general public.
The proposition to be brought for
ward will be to create an entirely
new board, all the members of which
shall be representatives of the pub
lie, or in other words will be named
by the president as representatives
of the public, whether they may be
railroad men or meH engaged in any
other occupation.

FIGHTS BURGLAR
FOUND IN HOME
KINGSBURY COUNTY FARMER,
STAGES HOT BATTLE AND
BESTS INTRUDER.

Lake Preston, May lO.-To enter
his home and be confronted by an
intruder, who pointed his own rifle
at his head and demanded that he
throw up his hands, was the thrill
ling experience of Edmond f. DAN
iels, a farmer of the Lake Preston
district.
The farm house was temporarily
without occupants when the intrud-
er entered it, Daniels being at the
barn, and his wife having gone TO
Oldham.
Notwithstanding that he was
greatly surprised when he entered
the house to have the intruder poke
his own rifle into his face, Daniels
did not lose his presence of mind.
Before the intruder could carry out
his threat to shoot, Daniels attack
ed him, in the first onrush knocking
the rifle from his hands.
Then he grappled with the un
known. In the ensuing struggle,
would have made a good fight scene
for the movies, a number of dishes.
and a couple of articles of furniture
were broken, but Daniels stuck to
his task with vigor, with the result
that he soon proved too much for
the intruder, who. however, succeed
ing breaking from his grasp and
making his escape.
The telephone wire had been cut
by the burglar and Daniels had to go
to the home of a neighbor TO report
the affair to the county authorities
and give a description of the fugi-
tive. His wife reached home about
the time he returned, and was great
ly alarmed when she saw the havoc
wrought in her home by the fight
and saw that her husbands shirt
was torn almost to shreds and his
face badly marked up.
Il guess the other fellow knew
he met the owner of the place,
said Daniels in commenting upon
the exciting encounter.

practically pledged. The tournament
would bring about 1900 men TO Ma

would do much in the way of ad-

GOOD CROPS SEEN
IN NORTH DAKOTA
DECLARED MOST
FAVORABLE SINCE 1915.

Minot, May 10.-Crop conditions
in northwestern North Dakota are
the most favorable since 1916, the
year of the last big crop, according
TO an unofficial survey of crop pros
poets.
Seeding operations are from 10
days to three weeks ahead of last
year, reports here show. The soil is
in splendid condition, the acreage
of all grain with the possible excep-
tion of wheat is generally greater
than in 1920, more corn and pota-
toes are being planted than ever be-
fore and farmers and businessmen
are highly optimistic. according TO
the survey.
From Rugby TO points in north
eastern Montana and from Mclean
county to the Canadian line, reports
received here tell of favorable con-
ditions and convey the impression
that northwestern North Dakota is
in line for a bumper crop this
year.
The wheat acreage in most sec
tions is not as large as last year but
the splendid condition of the soil.
it's pointed out. promises the smaller
acreage producer much larger
wheat crop than was produced in
1920.
The acreage of barley and oats is
larger and corn and potatoes com
mand a much larger acreage than in
any year in the past, according to
the survey, which also says that yir-
tually all wheat has been seeded and
that another two weeks will find
the farmers with their spring oper-
ations completed.
Reports indicate that less flax is
being seeded than in several years.
Conditions in the Minot section
are certainly more than favorable"
z. s. Person, president of the Union
National bank of Minot declared in
commenting on crop prospects. THE
soil is in splendid condition and the
crop is being put in better than in
the past. Farmers have come 10
realize that good farming pays and
they are using this knowledge in
practical way Farmers and busi-
nessmen are optimistic and they
have a right to be in view OF the
favorable prospects at this time.

PERSH|NC TALKS
ABOUT THE WAR
SAYS SUCCESS IN WAR WAS DUE
- TO EXCEPTIONAL CIRCUM-
STANCES.

Washington, May 10.-Unprepar-
edness was responsible for the Unit
ed States being drawn into the world
war, General Pershing declared Sun
day in a statement directing the at
tention of the country to the citi-
zens' military training camps TO be
held this summer.
Our success in the war was not
due to forethought in preparedness" "
General Pershing said, "but to ex-
ceptional circumstances which made
it possible to prepare after war had
been declared.
''Iit is my belief that if America
had been adequately prepared our
rights would not have been violated,
nor our safety threatened"
General Pershing contended the
country's military policy should pro-
vide first, a permanent military
establishment large enough to guard
against sudden attack; second a
force sufficient TO meet our interna-
tional obligations; third, such force
as may be necessary to meet our in
ternal requirements, and fourth, a
trained citizens reserve for the en-
ergency of war"
In poiting out the benefits to be
derived from military training, Gen.
eral Pershing urged the holding to-
gether of the national guard and ma
tional army divisions established
during the war.
These divisions, he said, would be
used as reserve divisions into which
the young men would pass as they
come from the army or finish in the
training camps.

commission has many enemies
among the great business interests,
due to its efforts to regulate their
practices.
Abolition of the shipping board al
so is planned by senators close TO
the administration, but this action
if taken will be based upon econ
omic reasons only. No one claims
that the shipping board has been a
success and some other method of
controlling the governments great
maritime interests will not be seri-
ously objected to.

nounced a new extensive tour of the
northwest during the coming sum-
mer, extending from June to Aug.
20. The route lies west through
western Minnesota, North Dakota,
Montana, Idaho, and finally through
Washington to Tacoma, Seattle,
Portland and Vancouver. Their re-
turn will be through Canada, with
stops at Banff and Lake Louise, in
the Canadian Rockies. The farthest
north engagement will probably be

Pinehurst, N. c., May 10.-Reso-
lutions approving acceptance by the
United States of the allied invita-
tion for American representation ON
the supreme council and reparation
commission, opposing government
ownership and operation of rail-
roads, approving the McFadden bill
to amend the federal reserve act so
as to transfer the functions now ex-
ercised by the comptroller of the
currency to the federal reserve
board and opposing issuance of tax
exempt securities were adopted at
the final session Friday of the an
nual meeting of the executive coun-
Gil of the American Bankers asso-
citation.

ed federal, regulation of investment
securities, approved the budget sys-
tenn for handling government financ-
es and suggested the need for bring
ing into operation at the earliest
possible moment financing machin-
cry for the extension of long time
credit to restore foreign trade.
Concerning the labor situation,
the council went on record as accept
ing the principle of collective bar
gaining as an equitable basis for ad-
justment of differences in industry,
but resolution said I'VE believe
that the open shop is more econom-
ic in principle and more American in
spirit than the so-called closed shop,

paniment of unfair and wasteful ty-
ranny by any class"

Berlin, May 10.-UneXpected op-
position TO acceptance of the allied
ultimatum developed among Reich
stag leaders today. All night ses-
sions of party leaders failed to bring
the democrats and the Volks party
leaders into agreement with the ma
jority of socialists who favor accept
ing the demands. At l a. m. the
Volks party voted against accept
ance. The democrats continued in
session. If the democrats finally op
pose acceptance the question will
stand a chance of defeat and the al
lied invasion would start as plan
ned. The Reichstag was to meet at
this afternoon for action on the
allied demands. By that time ii was
believed the various parties would
have determined their course and
the new cabinet would be in process
of formation. Paul Loebe, majority
socialist, was a leading candidate
for chancellor.
