DUBLIN, July 27 (By The Associ-
ated Press).-The Sim Fein Cabinet
to-day discussed the British govern
ment's proposal, there being a full
membership present, including Mich
ael Collins, commander of the repub-
lican army and the two most recently
liberated members, Countess Mark
'ievicz and Joseph McGrath. When the
council rose Mr.. de Valera left the
Mansion House unaccompanied. No
statement was issued, but it is known
that no actual decision was reached.
and no certainty that when it is
reached it will be published immedi-
ately.
The publicity department of the Dali
Elreann informed the correspondents
that statement within the next few
days was improbable, yet possible.
1T is understood that the Sim Fein
Cabinet is agreed on the various points
under considera tion, and that there are
no differences among the members, but
that they are waiting for decision by
others and are probably expecting
communication regarding the attitude
of the representatives of the Ulster

LONDON, July 27 (By The Associ-

vealing clash of views among Union
lst peers took place to-day in the House
of Lords in the Irish negotiations. The
Marquis of Salisbury, inviting the gov
ernment to make a statement on the
subject, complained Of the indefinite
delay and protested that Unionist ac-
qulescence in the delay might be in
terpreted as approval of the negotia-
tions.
"The truth is" he declared. "we
feel great shame and humiliation and
we are only awaiting a government
statement to make our position clear "
Lord Birkenhead, Lord High Chan
cellor, replying for the government
confessed he was puzzled to know who
the Marquis of Salisbury meant by

to the United States, The Evening

to the attack of the Northcliffe press

asks: "Will the Norwegian public be

Demand Made Officially

RIGA, Latvia, July 27 (By the Asso-
cated Press An official demand by
Secretary Of State Hughes for the re-
lease of the American prisoners in
Russia was handed by Consul Albrecht
to Leonid Stark last night.
The text Of the communication reads :
"The American government is ad-
vised that despite the repeated
efforts of DR.. Nansen on its behalf
to secure the release of the Amer
lean prisoners in Russia they are
still held in most serious plight.
"In the name of humanity the
American government demands of
the Soviet authorities that these
prisoners be at once released. 1t is
manifestly impossible for the Amer
lean authorities to countenance
measures for relief of the distress
in Russia while our citizens are de-
tanned"
Maxim Gorky, it was learned to-day,
has telegraphed to John Miller, the

LETTER SAID TO BE FROM
CHRIST.
published by request.)

:"
The Greenfield Times published
this week what is reported to be a
letter from Christ, written just
after his crucifixion on the cross.
The letter was published at the
request of Mrs. Rubie Crutchfield,
Route l, Trezevant, Tenn, who
said that she had had the letter
three years, and that bad luck has
continually followed her until she
decided to obey it's injunction and
have it published. The letter says !:
"And he that hath copy of this
letter without publishing it to
others shall not prosper, but he
that publisheth it to others shall
be blest by me, and if their sins
be as many as the stars of the
night, and if they truly believe,
they shall be pardoned."
History of Letter
Mrs. Fannie Workman of Mari
on, Ind, knows something of the
history of the letter. It was when
Mrs Workman had the letter pub
lished that Mrs. Crutchfield is
supposed to have gotten possess
ion of it.
The following is taken from a
Marion paper:
Mrs. Workman says she lived in
Dalton, Ca, until August, when
she came to this city. She said
the letter given below was first
found under a stone at the foot of
the cross on which Christ was
crucified. On the stone was writ
ten, Blessed is he who shall turn
me over" No one knew what this
inscription meant until child
turned the stone over and discov-
cred the letter written by Christ
himself.
The letter came into the hands OF
man who had been converted,
and who kept it as a sacred me-
mento of the Savior. He however,
refused to have it published, ac-
cording to the orders Of Christ,
and, consequently, he never pros
pered. He kept the fact that he
possessed the letter a secret, and
on his death gave it to his oldest
| son. Thus the letter was kept in
the family for over a thousand
years and was brought to this
country by early settlers.
More Ill Luck
It was kept a secret by the
family while they lived in Virgin.
| ia, but they never prospered, and
| i'll luck continually followed them
as it did their ancestors, until or
the death Of the only daughter the
letter was turned over to lady
by the name Of Mrs. Townson
who not wishing to disobey the or.
der of Christ, at once had it pub
lished in the Tribune Of Rome
Ca, October 81, 1891. The Citi.
zen Of Dalton, Ca, copied the art
icle,and Mrs. Wartman, now liv-
| ing in Marion, Ind, clipped the
piece and had it in her possession
for q number Of years. She has
never had it published and states
that she has had bad luck since
she has been keeping the article
and believes that her misfortunes
Ihave all come from the fact that
! she never gave the article out fol

IMPROVEMENT IN MARKETING
important Fundamental Problem is
Education of PubIic-changes
Must Be Gradual.

One of the important fundamental
problems confronting marketing agen-
cies, according to the bureau of mar
kets, United States Department of
Agriculture, is the education of the
public to a point where it will gem
orally realize that the present market
ing system is a product of evolution:
that improvements must De made grad
ually by changes in method and pro-
cedure and by eliminating specific rec
ognized evils; that 1t is impossible
to set up instantly a perfectly efficient
and automatically operated new mar
keting machine; or to cure all econ
omic Ills by legislation. The public
must appreciate also, say the special
lists, that marketing Is quite as much
Il problem for the onsume MS for the
producer.

ual. The banking system is out of
date here in the United States. Here
in North Dakota there are over 800
banks, and all have to borrow money
from the east. Just think of that
crowd going into the money centers

The result is that rates are high as
there is so much bidding on it

ly that he got d bigger price for her

the money market. In the early
days. when it only took a small
amount of money to supply the needs,
the private banks were able to do
fairly we'll, but since the needs for
money have started to grow greater
the private banks have failed COM

time until it will be changed. Not
that the country banks will be abol-

the supervision of the Bank of North

in this way, that the depositors will
lose confidence in the smaller banks
and place their money with the Bank
of North Dakota, or its depository

overdone. With no reflection on
either the banks or the men who are
running them Langdon has about as

have been occasion for them but there
