More than 5000 Tons a Day
Being produced in Mines
North of City on 500

More than 100 cars of Ignite
coal are being produced each day
bv mines north Of Bismarck. most
of the production coming from the
Washburn Ignite Coal Company
at Wilton and from four mines at
Garrison according to Superinten-
dent S.. w. Derrick Of the 500 line
The movement of coal, and other
business, is the heaviest for this
period Of the year in several years
on the Missouri River Division of
the Soc line, Mr.. Derrick said. The
absence of heavy snowfall and the
recent mild weather has aided the
transportation, and car movement
is more free than for sometime, it
was said. s.. IT., ,..,
About 60 cars Of coal are being
produced each day at Wilton, 40
cars from four mines at Wilton and
in addition there are two. small in
dependent producers near Garrison,
four cars a day being shipped at
Bitumina, between Falkirk and
Washburn, and probably three
more cars a day from various small
mines operated by farmers. There
also are numerous wagon mines
supplying local trade. The total
production north Of here is more
than 5000 tons a day.
Cars are now coming freely for
the movement of grain, Mr.. Derrick
said.

of struggle or of i'll treatment.

FOR W0RK0F
COMMISSION
Miss Lund Holds Work Of
Children's Code Commission
Is Important

Every organization in the state
interested, in social welfare work
and especially child welfare work,
and every individual so interested,
ought to actively support the pro-
gram of the North Dakota Chill
dren's Code commission" declares
Henrietta J. Lund of Bismarck,
prominent social worker and a
member Of the commission. "Pri-
vate agencies have done splendid
work for years and there has been
measure Of public help, especial
ly along certain lines. Neither of
these present forces has been able
to solve the problems or reach all
who need help. The commissions
program is designed to correct the
existing defects, supply needs at
important points and bring the
child welfare system Of the state
up to the mark of modern pro-
gress. The commission proposes
nothing partisan, radical nor ex-
pensive. Its work rather revamps
existing laws and brings them up
to date, supplies some deficiencies
and provides plan for making
the entire child welfare adminis-
tration system effective.
'The aims Of . the commission
and program are to make better
homes rather than taking children
out of them except i'm extreme
cases, to improve community en-
vironment and improve school at
tendance and good influence, to
give the defective classes, includ-
ing cripples, a chance toward nor
malcy and greater usefulness and
happiness, to safeguard normal
children in their tender years and
make for better citizenship in the
future.
"Women, especially, ought to be
unanimous for the program for its
whole aim. is in line with their
home and family interests and the
bill providing for equality of the
mother and father in the custody
Of their children, in place of the
present law giving the father chief
control, should enlist every friend
Of equality of women with men.
"The program is receiving fav-
orable comment all over the state
and enthusia sic evidences of sup
port We hope every public-spirit-
ed citizen will urge his or her leg
islators to actively support the
bills at the coming session."

Bastrcp, La, Dec. 2S.-Chief in
terest in the Morehouse kidnapping
case was shifted today to New Or

Parker was to hold a conference
with Attorney General Coco and
special prosecutor st. Clair Adams,
appointed by the Governor to as
sist the Attorney Generals office
in presenting the states case at
the opening hearing to be held here
January 5 to discuss policies to be
adopted at the hearing.
A warrant for the arrest of DR..
E. NJ. McKoin, who is held in Balti-
more at the request of Governor
Parker, was issued here yesterday
on instructions from Attorney Gen
eral Cocc.} Hearing on a writ of
habeas corpus obtained yesterday
by DR.. McKoin to prevent his re-
turn to Mer Rouge cor questioning
in connection with the kidnapping
ard killing of Watt Daniels and
Thomas Richards, was to come up
today in Baltimore. The issuance
of the warrant, it was believed by
state officials here, would make it
unnecessary for the state to show
its hand by producing whatever
evidence it may have against the
Doctor in its attempt to have him
brought to Louisiana.

Advices from Baton Rouge stat

The masked mob which kidnapped
Daniels and Richards was compos-

one of the investigators who has
been-following the case closely for
several months. Members of the
mob, the Investigators asserted,

FLEET TO RETURN.
(By the Associated Press)

Malta, Dec. 2s.-As result Of un-
satisfactory news from Lausanne, it
is understood that the ships of the
British Mediterranean feet which ar
rived here on December %, for
three weeks visit, have received or
ders to return to the Near East.
Naval authorities were reticent to-
day, but it was believed that Admiral
De Robeck, commander-in-chief Of
the Mediterranean feet was prepar-
ed to leave this afternoon with all
available vessels.
The meeting of the commission Of
capitulations of the Near East con-
ference failed to make progress at
todays session. Some of the, allied
delegations on leaving the hall said
the conference had reached dead
lock pending the arrival of the new
Turkish instructions from Angora.

CRISIS NEARS

Lausanne, Dec. 28.-The Near
East conference was faced with a
serious crisis today as the sharp
and apparently irreccncilable con-
flict between the English and the
Turks over the Mosul oil fields
reached decisive stage.
Lord Curzon's statement that
"the turning point of the confer
ence had come," and that England
would decline to continue the Mo-
sui controversy was in direct con-
flict with Ismet Pasha's note fas-
serting that the Turkish people de-
cided ITO employ to the last limit
of its forces all means to obtain the
return Of Mosul to the mother
land.
Between these two extremes
there is a gull which seems likely
to be difficult, if not impossible, for
the conference to bridge.
Great uneasiness is manifest
throughout conference circles be-
cause Ct the crisis, which, with the
unsettlement over the straits ard
status of minorit;es, indicates that
the conference is fast approaching
a climax and that both sides are
preparing for a final showdown.
