intended to kill the President. The
shots were fired into the automobile
carrying the Chief Of Police Naudins
which was just 100 meters behind the
open carriage of Millerand's.

newspapers who yesterday issued a
warning that an attempt on the life
Of the President would be made today
following the infamatory articles
carried in the radical press.

gave the United Press an eye witness
account of the attempted assassina-
ton. President Millerand was riding

and. A man stepped from the crowd
with a pistol in his hand and fired
three shots at the Naudin automobile.
Thousands surged upon the would
be assassin and he was knocked down
and badly beaten. Police rescued
him from those persons with intent
to kill him and hurried him to prison.
Part of the crowd rushed to the car
riage of Millerand and shouted "stay
back, they are trying to shoot you
This came from thousands of the per-
sons standing on the side. AS the
news of the attempt on the life of
the President spread throughout
Paris, which was celebrating Bastile
Day, thousands of the celebrators
rushed down Champs Elysee toward
the Presidents residence. Soldiers
and police formed a Gordon around
the presidential home.

is set to last three days when the pub

Stops here and at Helena and Butte
were between the Yellowstone tour

that President Harding will be unable
to greet the editors Of Missoula. The
chief executive has been prevented be-
cause of the soal strike.

LOSSES. According to Martin S. Ha-
gen, manager of the department of
hail insurance, $4,000 claims were re-
|ceived by the department last July.
Hail losses for 1922 to date have

Griggs counties, Slope, Bowman, and
Adams counties, and Stutsman, La
Moure and Barnes counties, respective
ly. Every county in the state except
Richland has reported losses. So far
not much indemnity has been allow

course been done on rye and in sever
al instances total loss has been allow
ed. About 1000 claims have already
been settled and before the end of the
week every claim now recorded is ex-
pected to be settled.

ELECTION LAWS REVISION
ASKED

Bismarck, N. D., July 13-Verifica-
ton of many things connected with
North Dakota's election laws is re-
quested by Thomas Hall in the bien-
NAL report he will make to the gov
ernor and the next session of the leg
islature. He calls attention to many
things which he considers weaknesses
in the present law, some of them
weaknesses which have been called to
the attention of former legislatures.
Regarding signers of petitions, the
report says:
"The signatures are not required
to be verified and apparently there
is no penalty for false duplicate sign
ing; the result being that individuals
can, with impunity, and do sign one
petition several times, or sign the pc
tition of more than one candidate for
the same office, even signing the pc
titions of candidates in different par
ties"
Would Restrict Petition Signers
Mr.. Hall makes the recommended
ton that the law be changed SO that
but one person can sign but one pc
tition for nomination or initiated meas
ures and that notification of sigma
lures be necessary.
Mr.. Hall also recommended that all
officers except federal be named and
voted for on a non-partisan ballot,
and any candidate having a majority
being elected.
Mr.. Hall also wants to have the Of
ficial newspapers of county elected
Just like a candidate for office. Mr..
Hall would have the papers which de-
sire the work become candidates in
the primary, the two that received the
highest number of votes going on the
ticket in the fall, and the winner to
be the official paper of the county.
Asks Ballots Mixed
Repeal of law, antedating the es-
tablishment Of women's suffrage is
also requested, making it possible to
place the votes of both men and wo-
men in the same box and count them
at the same time.
Mr.. Hall also puts up a fervert
prayer for the codification Of North
Dakota's laws, requesting that the
"work be done by commissioners IA
miliar with the law and the English
language, able to express themselves
so simply, so clearly that their mean
ing cannot be misconstrued by even a
supreme court judge.
Mr.. Hall also asks that many chan
ges be made in the laws regarding cor
poration charters.

AGED COUPLE FOUND
MURDERED TODAY IN
MINNESOTA TOWN
No Motive Known For Brutal Murder
OF Aged Man And Assault On
Wife. Murderer Escaped In Au-
tOmobile Is Belief.

Grand Meadows, Mimi, July H.
Mower county authorities are search
ing for the axe murderer today who
brutality attacked an aged couple in
their home home. John Wagner, II,
was found dead and his wife dying in
their home, when their daughter,
Mrs. Alvina Serum became alarmed
after failing to get an answer to nu-
merous telephone calls. The motive
of the murderer is not known. The
murderer cut open the screen window
last Wednesday night and brutally at
tackled the aged couple. Mr.. Wagon
err was found lying across the bed
dead and Mrs. Wagner, 60, found un-
conscious on the floor of the bedroom.
She suffered three deep gashes in the
head and shoulders. $4,000 lay in
f! plain sight so that discounted the rob-
berry motive.
Deputies put blood hounds on The
trail last night, few hours after the
murder was discovered and followed
the trail for three quarers oft mile
across railroad tracks and about four
blocks beyond into a vacant lot where
Automobile tracks were visible. Here
the trail was lost. Police believe that

ed over her all night so that she would
be able to describe her attackers. She
will probably die.
Austin, Mimi, July ID - One man
was held in connection with the MUIR
der of John Wagner of Grand Mead
ows, Minnesota, wealthy retired
farmer, who was found murdered by
his daughter. Mrs. Wagner was
found probably fatally wounded. Au-
gust Detloff, IS, the son-in-law living
here, was taken into custody BY Sher-
iff Sycks at the Leroy dance hal last
night. While authorities investigated
the case, Detloff seemed to be uncon-
cerned when told that his father-in-
law was dead and his mother-in-law
dying. The authorities tried to keep
it secret that he was under suspic-
ion. The robbery motive was dis
counted because of the fact that there
we're $50 in plain view on the dresser
in the room where the murder was
committed

Chicago, ILL.,, July ia fight to
the finish between the striking rail-
road shopmen and the employers was
started today when the two oposing
forces became "irreconciably opposed
and no settlement of the labor forces
can be expected before long drawn
out battle. This was learned by the
United Press today from an interview
with the highest authority. The rail-
roads will operate the road with strike
breakers. Employment agencies are
being swamped with wants for men,.
The union trimmed her decks and re-
duced a fighting force in the proposed
strike.

HOPE OF ENDING
INDUSTRY CRISIS
GOES CLIMMERlNC

Washington, D. c., July 15-Hopes
of ending the grave industrial crisis
which the country faces because of the
coal and rail strikes suddenly faded
here today. Despite the threats of
President Harding to operate the coal
mines and railroads if such action is
necessary to save the country from a
serious coal famine or an expensive
railroad tie-up. Failure looms up for
the executives plans to end the coal
dispute. The United Mine Workers
policy committee meeting here today
to frame the answer to Presidents
arbitration proposal is virtually GER
tain to reject it. Previous favorable
attitude toward the plan was sudden
ly turned into hostility by the refusal
of the president to agree on modifica-
lions of the proposal as asked by Jno.
Lewis and other union leaders. Grave
concern exists in the official circles
over the sudden turn Of affairs. Many
intricate problems are arising before
both sides. 1t is realized that unless
prompt termination of the coal strike
is made it will be unable to secure
enough coal to be moved into parts
of the country especially the north
west to prevent a shortage of coal
there this winter.
The Federal government is mark
ing time today on the question of u.s.
ing troops in the rail strike. The
president is believed to have put the
brakes on immediate dispatch of the
army to rail centers such as Dennison,
Texas, where violence occurred.
