AMMUNDSEN GIVEN
$4,000 KRONEN To
CONTINUE VOYAGE
Norwegian Parliament Votes
to Finance Trip; Volunteer
Crew to Go After Ship.

Seattle, July 19.-Captain Roald
Amundsen. the Norwegian Explorer,
who recently was forced by a broken
propeller on his schooner Maud to de-
fer an attempt to drift past the north
pole with the ice floes, has expressed
his appreciation of the action of Nor
ways parliament, which a few days
ago voted him 100000 kroner to con-
tinue his Arctic voyage next summer.
Captain Amundsen announced that
an appeal for volunteers to man a YES
sci to go to the Bering straits and tow
back the Maud which recently was res
cued from the ice by the Bear, had
produced 4S youths in one day.
"They wanted no money" explained
the explorer. '"They were ready to 20
for the adventure of it. We will select
about third of the number of those
most experienced in seamanship. We
hope to have the vessel, not yet defi-
nitely selected, ready to sail within 10
days"
Captain Amundsen said he had been
overwhelmed with offers of aid from
every source. The presidents of the
telegraphers and seamen's unions, he
recounted, had offered to furnish him
with such personnel as he needed. He
added that he expected, through his
Seattle agent, the Universal Shipping
& Trading Co., to obtain from coast
ports an Alaska cargo which would help
defray the expense of the trip after the

PROBE IS SOUGHT
Of RESERVE BANKS
BY GOV. HARDING
House Committee Asks Auth
Ority; Watson in Senate
Would Fire" Directors

Washington, July 19.-Governol
Harding of the federal reserve board
with the approval of Secretary Mel
lon, has asked congress to investigate
the operations of the board and the
reserve system, and Chairman McFad-
den Of the house banking and cur
rency committee, late Tuesday intro
duced resolution to carry out the re-
quest.
The investigation would embrace
every detail of the activities of the
board and its banks over "the period
of deflation,' or about the last Is
months, according to Mr.. McFadden.
He said that if the house approved of
his program, he would tackle the job
Immediately, taking in what he describ-
ed as "a mess of charges and accusa-
tions of determinations, coming mostly
from the south and west"
'There have been numberless attacks
on the board and the banks" he said
1T is my idea that if there is truth
in them, appropriate legislation should
follow and if they are groundless, then
the board certainly is entitled to a
clean bill"
A resolution to direct" President
Harding to remove all members of the
federal reserve board and appoint new
members was introduced by Senator
Democrat, Georgia. It pre-
scribed that the new members be not
mere assiduous servitors of the Nor
gan, steel, packers and other inter-
ests." The resolution charged the
board, through unlawful contraction
Of money and other policies. with llav-
ing inflicted irreparable loss of $3l.-
300, ,O0O, 600 upon the helpless Ameri-
,an people" and with having loaned the
larger part of the banks funds to
profiteers."

ment of Mr. Gustafson followed a dis
cussion Of Representatives on the rela-
tionship of the grain growers organiza-
ton in the federations and the plan of
marketing grain through the organiza-
tion in the northwest sales zone. The
zone includes Minnesota. Wisconsin,
North Dakota and Montana.
Mr.. Gustafson stated that under the
original plan as worked out by the
Committee of Seventeen, the new ma
tional sales agency required the CO.
operation with all cooperative mar
keting agencies in the disposal of grain.
Although the grain would be handled
through the Equity elevators. the Unit
ed States grain growers organization
would have absolute control of the mar
keting and the equity facilities would
be means of facilitating the work of
the farmers handling their own pro-
ducts from the farm to the consumer.

The state board of education does
not want the buildings for any edu-
cational institution and neither the
people of Havre nor the management
of the state insane asylum desire
them for Il branch of the latter insti
tuition. Accordingly, it seems that the
structures, into which the federal gov
ernment put practically 100000, are
doomed to ruin and decay.
Fort Assinniboine. at one time one
of the principal regular army posts
of the west, has in the past 15 years
been a subject of much concern to the
people of the state, particularly those
of Havre. and has been the cause of
much effort, some expenditure of
money and vast amount of argument
in sessions of the legislature.
Destined to Become College.
1t was at one time destined to be-
come an agricultural and manual train
ing school under the direction of the
state board of education and it was
for that purpose that it was acquired
by the state from the United States
government. Several years after it's
abandonment as a regular army POST
a movement was inaugurated to secure
it for the state for school purposes.
In connection with the opening to
settlement of the lands of the Fort
Assinniboine military reservation, the
legislature of 1913, at the behest of
the people of Havre, passed a law,
now known as chapter 81 of the ses-
sion laws of 1913, which, in part,
reads as follows:
b t enacted by .he legislative
of the state of Montana:
