Lloyd George, Anxious to Attend
D. c. Sessions, Starts Drive
for Postponement.

LONDON, Sept. 29.-From a
source close to Premier Lloyd George
it was learned today that the pre-
mier may make a move to have the
Washington conference on limitation
of ornaments postponed from No
vember until next March.
LLOYD GEORGE WOULD COME.
The informant of the international
News Service Is conversant with Mr..
Lloyd Georges views, and on many
previous instances has made accurate
'foreeasts OF tho sPreniiers plans. *
Two reasons are given as the cause
for Premier Lloyd Georges wish for
delay:
1. The Premier's desire TO attend
the conference i'm person.
2. The determination to avoid the
possible consequence Of leaving Pre-
mier BRAND of France, the dominant
European figure at the conference.

itablokh the meeting opens Novem.

The Premier is said TO be confident
Of arranging an Irish peace confer
eHCS next lnOnln anu
agreement satisfactory to both sides.
A general election would be arranged
possibly in February with the Irish
settlement as the chief issue and Pre-.
mier Lloyd George as the chief figure.
The Premier would then be in a posi-
ton TO be hailed by his political sup
porters as "the man who settled the
7O0.year-old Irish problem and the
man who is going to Washington to
settle the problem OF reducing arma-
ments in such q way as will promise
the economic discovery of the world

Democratic Minority Of Senate
Committee Declares Senator'S
Credentials Tainted.

The special committee Of the
Senate which Investigated Henry
Ford's fraud charges against Sen
ator Truman H. Newberry (Repub-
lican) Of Michigan split on straight
party lines today in submitting con-
flicting reports Of its inquiry.
Newberry was aDsolved from all
blame in the report submitted by
three Of his Republican colleagues,
while the Democratic minority re-
port held that he was entirely eul-
pable for the expenditure Of approxi-
mately $500, 900 in the Michigan
primary election of 1918.
Expenditures Conceded.
The Republican majority report held
Ford's charges OF the use Of an alleged
"slush fund" to secure Newberry's
nomination to have been bitterly
made and vehemently urged" and
wholly unsustained." The ma aJority
report was offered by Senator Spencer
Of Missouri, and concurred in by Sen
ators Watson of Indiana and Edge OF
New Jersey
1t was conceded in the report that
the amount Of money admitted to have
been spent by Newberry's friends and
relatives in furthering his Senatorial
aspirations was "Iarge-too large-a
larger sum than ought to have been
expended" But ID was denied en-
phatically that II was expended with
Newberry's knowledge or consent.
Accused Of Conspiracy.
On the other hand, a Democratic
minority report signed by Senators
Ashurst of. Arizona, King Of Utah
and Pomerene OF Ohio, which was
submitted by the latter, accused
Newberry Of conspiring With others
for the debauchery Of the Michi-
gan electorate and the violation of
Federal statute limiting a Senatorial
candidates campaign expenditures
"by the expenditure Of large sums
Of money with his knowledge and
consent"
The report also charged that New
berry was familiar with the fact
that large sums were being ex-
pended and that he knew that not
less than S1SS,56s was expended In
violation of law" to further his
candidacy despite statements to the
contrary made by him under oath
which the report asserted were false
and untrue"
STAINED With Fraud.
Newberry's credentials ARE stained
with fraud, and tainted by illegal ex-
nenditures OF money" and the cam
paign resulting in his nomination
shown by the testimony given TO have
"partaken more of an auction than
an election" Senator Ashurst charged
IN Joining with Senators King and
pomerene in demanding. as the Demo
cratic minority members OF the in
vestigating committee, the unseating
Of Newberry.
Ashurst not only signed minority
report with King and Pomereue, but
submitted a separate one Of his own
IN which he asserted that the New
berry primary campaign from its in
ception was a reckless and illegal
toray Of opulent men, foray con-
Quoted with q disregard of public
morality, and with a boastfulness that
would be comicai II 1t were not

The Republican report continued
by urging that Newberry be per
mitted to retain his seat, and the
charges against him be dismissed on

The plan, WHICH was worked out

farms in one or more counties and

machinery, feed, threshing, seed
treating, pasture, fences. taxes, in

ming and end of each year, and all
other figures will be taken which are
necessary to accurately determine
what each bushel of grain costs the
farmer to raise.

INDUSTRY BODY
TO FORMULATE
BANKS POLICY
Action Expected to Be Taken as
Result of Garnishment
r Decision
MILLION LOAN is DUE
Bank of North Dakota's Obliga-
tion to Chicago House
Natures 18th
MILLION LOAN is DUE

The policy to be pursued by the
Bank Of North Dakota in view OF the
decision of the supreme court that the
bank is separate from the state gov.
ernment and that 1t is subject to gar
nishment is expected to be formulated
by the Industrial Commission within
the next day or two.
Two of the three members of the
commission, Governor Frazier and At
torney General Lemke, were not in
the city today, but an early meeting
Of the commission Is expected.
Many problems Of the bank are tC
be discussed, it is expected. The mil
lion dollar loan made by the bank
with a Chicago financial house several
months ago is due tomorrow. Mr.
Cathro said to day that no arrange
ments had been completed with re-
gard to either paying or extending the
loan. The action of the bank in the
matter Is expected to be determined
Immediately. s
Other Obligations.
Among the heavy obligations of the
bank in addition to this loan is the
state apportionment fund for schools
amounting to 100000. This appor
tionment was certified by the depart
ment of education on the third Mon
day in February, it usually being pay
able the first of March.
Mr.. Cathro declined to make a
statement as to the effect of the gar
nishment case on the Bank Of North
Dakota, until he had time to consid
er the matter thoroughly. He indicat
ed he might prepare a statement dur
ing the day.
An interesting phase of the discus
sion arising from the garnishment
case is whether or not the Bank OF
North Dakota, If, as the supreme court
has decided, the state imparts to il
none of its prerogatives, it Is taxable
under the federal income tax law. A
corporation is. taxed 20 per cent upon
its earnings If they do not exceed y
per cent Of the capital investment and
20 per cent additional on earnings be
yond that figure.
Mr.. Cathro said that he did moi
think the bank was liable to the tax
and II it were, he said. there would
be no tax to pay because the income
is derived chiefly from tax.free money
and securities Of political subdivisions
Say II Hits Banks.
1t was pointed out by some Nonpar
tisans that the decisions OF the su
preme court might react upon private
banks, as counties instituting garnish
ment proceedings would call upon the
local banks to pay the counties.
On the other hand opponents OF the
bank pointed out that it offered way
for the counties to cease doing busi
ness with the Bank of North Dakota
and to avoid the order OF the Indus
trial Commission to the effect tina,
checks of counties which do not con
tinue to make deposits with the banH
would not be honored.
