GRAIN DEALERS
CLOSE MEETING
Take No Action Officially To-
ward u. S. Grain Growers

Devils Lake, N. D.. March 3.-The
North Dakota Grain Dealers Associa-
ton ended it's convention here with
out adopting a resolution on the sub
ject of supporting or fighting the
United Grain Growers Inc. Although
the Farm Bureau plan Of pooling
grain was discussed the grain dealers
did not take action.
The workmen's compensation law is
unfair and discriminatory in some in
stances, speakers declared. Excessive
freight rates were held to have been
a drawback to general business bet
terment, crop statistics furnished by
the government were held not wide
spread enough to sufficiently inform
both farmer and grain buyer, the
Great Lakes-St. Lawrence waterways
project was endorsed, that reduction
OF high commissions charged by mar
ket centers for disposing of grains is
necessary, that a new statute for North
Dakota is needed compelling holders
of liens on grain to make collections
otherwise than through elevators
handling the crop.

A plea from his mother caused
Church to break his silence. d
Your father and mother are
here, Harvey" Warden West
brook told the convicted man.
"Your mother bids you to talk
to her, and you have only four
hours to live. Will you talk to
them?'
The youthful murderer whose
tWitching eye-lids have been the
only outward sign of life during
his self-imposed period of silence
turned over on one side and
mumbled.
What did you say?" asked the
warden.
Father and mother-tsere,"
came back in low but plainly un-
darstood words.
The prisoner tossed back and
forth several times as his par
ents were brought in the cell. He
refused to say whether he would
voluntarily eat his monday meal
or whether it would be necessary
to continue the forcible feeding
which has kept him alive during
the last 40 days.
During the visit Of his parents
Church gave no heed to their pleas
that he talk.
CIh icago, March 3.-Harvey
Church, double murderer, sentenc-
ed to hang today, continued to lie
in what many medical men have
termed a state of self-imposed
hypnotic catalepsy. The sheriff
announced his plan to carry out
the execution at 4 p. M. with the
helpless Church strapped in a
chair.
Governor Small refused to in
terfere with the execution yester-
day, but Church's attorneys still
maintained hope for an eleventh
h our reprieye. Humanitarian
grounds would form the basis for
a writ Of habeas corpus, b Bar
tell, one of Church's attorneys,
said he would seek in criminal
court today. The last hope was
for the other attorney, Frank Tyr
rell, to obtain a stay through
plea that the execution was not
carried out within 25-day limit
after sentence was pronounced.

State Board and Attorney Gen.
= " erals Office Reach De-
cision in Matter
HELD A BIG SAVING
Institutional Printing to be
Brought Under Contract at
Much Less Cost
HELD A BIG SAVING

Decision was reached this after
noon by the state tDard of admins
tration and the state printing and
publication commission acting upon
an opinion of the Office, Of Attorney
General Sveinbjorn Johnson to bring
all state printing based uron appro-
priations under the contracts for
printing.
The action came as a result of con.
sideration of bids for institutional cat
alogue printing submitted to the
board of administration two days
ago. Henry Holt, of the Normanden
Publishing company, Grand Forks,
who have the state contract for print
ing OF this class brought up the mat
ter of Interpretation of the state print,
ing laws, conferred with the state
printing and publication commission,
composed of Frank Milhollan, Thomas
Hall and Joseph A. Kitchen, and r.
T. Muir, ]. l. Cahill and Joseph A.
Kitchen of the board of administra-
ton.
=, Asks for Opinion
Mr.. Holt asked the, Attorney Gen
erals office for an opinion upon the
matter, and the opinion rendered was
to- the effect that since the institu.
tions are maintained by appropria-
tlon and the state laws provide for a
state printing and publication commits
sion to administer them with an ex-
pert state printer under them the
printing of the institutions should
come under the contracts.
The institutional printing has been
sent out by institutional boards and
most of it printed at regular rates,
much higher than the contract rates
which are based upon quantity pro-
duction. The net result, therefore, is
expected to be a great saving to the
state and the institutions, and in ad-
dition to bring this printing under
the authority of the state printing and
publication commission and the state
printer, so that better check can be
made upon the quality of work and
the contract price Strictly adhered to.
Members of the board of administra-
tion stated they were satisfied to have
the matter 60 under the state print
ing and puhlicati64 commission, be-
cause the matter pf printing bids is
a technical matter and the carrying
out of provisions of the contracts
should be under expert guidance to
properly safeguard the interests of
the state.
