When, finally, Mr.. Lemke said that
he would need the fund, the Courier
News announced that fact. The drive
was then on in earnest and the daily
contributions printed in this paper.
Committee Accepted Wings Word
Money for this fund was still COM
ing in when the newly elected state
executive committee took charge Of
the management of the Leagues af-
fairs in North Dakota. However,
the committee did not take complete
charge Of the paper until late in
June, and Mr.. Wing reported then
that the Lemke fund had all been
turned over to Mr.. Lemke. AS this
money did not appear on the books
Of the Courier-News, no further in
vestigation into the matter was made
b ythe committee.s
At the league headquarters it was
announced yesterday that the COM
mittee is anxious to investigate this
matter fully in order that it may be
ascertained whether or not all of the
Lemke fund reported in the Courier
News has been accounted for. The
committee is willing to give all pos
sible aid it can to clear up this mat
ter in order that true accounting
may be had and justice done to ev-
eryone concerned.
1t appears from Attorney General
Johnson's letter that he considers
this fund belongs to the attorney
generals office and that If there is
any money left now it is the property
of the state.

HAS SUPPORTERS
State Officials and Congress-

Practical Remedy.

Fargo, Jan. 29.-The revival of

and fixing a minimum price for the
1922 wheat price, is meeting with

Of agriculture and the problems that
confront our farmers today are SO
serious that If American business is
to become rehabiliated and the pro-

that will insure price for farm pro-

various solutions proposed, such as
the revival of the United States Grain
Corporation, the fixing of reason

creation of a foreign market for the
surplus wheat by the extension OF
additional credit for that purpose
to the countries needing our wheat.
or by a combination Of the soundest
elements of these suggested remed..

thought wise. and that you urge up

OTHER LEAGUE
LEADERS IN LIST
FOR ARRESTS
Cathro, Lemke, Wood and
Others May Join Townley
as Defendants Against
Charges Resulting From
S.-A. Bank Scandal-Hea-
ton Already Convicted.

Bismarck, N. d. Jan. 28.-(Spec-
aD-Exhaustive investigation into
the defunct northumberland
Bank Of Fargo, while alleged to be
under domination of the leaders of
Nonpartisan league, may be made by
the grand jury in Cass county. At
torney-General Sveinbjorn Johnson,
referring to charges instituted in
Cass county against Il. c. Towniey
and J. J. Hastings, said that applica-
tion probably would be made to the
district judge in Cass county for call
ing of the grand jury to investigate
affairs Of the defunct institution.
Tho Attorney-General Johnson de-
clines any statement of probable
course of the investigation the
charges against Townley and Hast
ings are referred to by members of
state administration as Just scrat-
chcs on the surface" of affairs of
that institution.
An audit Of the Scandinavian-A-
merican bank has been made since
it went into receivership. One in
vestigator has reported that when
J. J. Hastings was vice-president OF
the bank he issued certificates of de-
posits amounting to $4,000 to the
National Nonpartisan League in one
day, on December 10, 1917, without
a resolution of the board of directors
or authority Of the discount COM
mittee and without collateral for the
loan said to have been negotiated in
this manner.
Both Hastings and Townley were
arrested on charges which would
have been outlawed soon by the stat
ute of limitations it was learned,
which, under the North Dakota law,
is three years in the matter of en-
bezzlement.
Attorney General Johnson refuses
to make a statement as to the ppssi-
BILE scope Of the prosecutions or the
League Organ Features Arrest
The Leagues organ at Fargo. the

proposed arrest OF Townley with an

TEST REVEALS LARGE
TIRE NOT DANGEROUS
Widespread Belief Of Peril
Shown to Be Erroneous.
Big English Vehicle Run Over Sharp
ened Spike Making Perfect Blow
Out, But No Damage Done
Except to Tire.

One way to overcome prejudice Is
to remove 1t. The introduction Of
the large size pneumatic tire for bus
ses in England, was hedged in by
many difficulties because of wide
spread belief that the use Of these
tires was dangerous.
In case Of blowout, men argued,
the tremendous conclusion Of the es-
Gaping air would thrust the car off
the roadway. The difference in height
between the two sides Of the car after
one tire had been debated would be
so great as to threaten to over-turn
the vehicle, was another argument.
Pedestrians standing near might be
blown from their feet by the force Of
the escaping air from the tire, 1t was
said. The driver, himself. might even
be in danger, In case Of blowout
while the car was travelling at rapid
speed. -
To meet this situation, E. r. Pres.
ton, managing director Of an English
tire company, in cooperation with two
Of the leading motor journals Of the
country, devised a unique test. well
stage blowout Of tire while the
car is in notion" said Preston. "You
can go along and see what happens"
A narrow and rutty dirt road out
side Of London, was selected for the
test. A heavy plank was imbedded in
the roadway. fitted up with big iron
spike, sharpened to razor edge and
set so that it would strike the tire
at an angle Just outside Of the tread.
When all was set, a big bus, in which
rode the representatives Of the two
motor journals, came flying down the
road at 30 to 85 miles an hour speed.
As the big sharpened spike struck the
side of the tire it ripped jagged
hole through carcass and tube. II
was perfect blowout. The tire was
completely fiat within Is feet. But
no damage had been done except to
the tire itself.
The men riding the car felt only a
very slight jolt as the car struck the
impediment. Examination Of tile sur
face of the road Immediately after,
showed that there was no perceptible
lurching Of the truck from the road.
The wheels carried through straight
ahead. There was no relaxing Of the
car. Examination afterwards showed
that one wheel stood about an incl,
and quarter below the other as the
result of the tire being Debated.
The test has gone long ways to.
ward correcting the erroneous impress,
sion as to the performance Of these
large tires In case Of blowout.
