Train Disabled
Veterans to Enter
One of 25O Trades

More than 5000 disabled war vet
Grams are being trained in the feder-
al employment service to enter some
one of 25O trades and lines Of work
in district number ten which in
cludes North and South Dakota and
Montana.
The fact that these men are rela-
lively mature, experienced, and ac-
customed to discipline and RESPONSE
bility makes them more desirable
to employers than ordinary men of
equal skill.
The Employment service is MAX
ing a survey of the industries and
interesting employers, to find out
the kind and number of skilled help
now employed and the possibilities
of placing trained veterans with
them. All the men who are thus
placed are followed up by the SER
vice to see if they make good, for
no employer is expected to retain a
man unless he proves Of real value.
Fifty-scven percent of the men
re-habilitated have been retained in
the same shop in which they have
learned their trade. A monthly
bulletin giving the age, vocation, eff
ficiency Of each man which is issued
may be had by anyone interested
may be had by writing the Employ

FILIBUSTER ON
ANTI-LYNCHING
BILL CONTINUES

Washington, Dec. with both
sides indicating renewed deterni-
nation to keep up the fight over the
Dyer anti-lynclfng bill, there was
no prospect Of a break in the Demo-
cratic filbuster against the measure
when the senate convened today
after the holiday adjournment.
Whether the filibuster would be
broken by the end of the extra ses-
sion was the question arising out o.
the situation today. Democratic
senators said, they were fortified
with a number of new moves to pre-
vent the Dyer bill from being taken
up and Senator Harrison Of Missis-
sippi, one of the Dem ocratic floor
leaders in the filibuster, said the
fight on his side had only begun.

T0DECIDEFATE
OF F0BENCHAIN
Judge Reluctant to Dismiss
Cases Against Her and
Burch |7" :.
(By the Associated Press)


Los Angeles, Dec. 2.-Futurc trials
OF Arthur c. Burch and Madalynne
c. Obenchain, jointly indicted for
the murder> Of J. Belton Kennedy,
will depend upon the court, rather
than upon either prosecution counsel
acting alone or in agreement with
defense attorneys, according to state
menrs credited to Judge John W.
Shenk, who presided at the third
trial of Burch.
These statements came after the
state was said to have made the
defense an offer" to take the case
of Mrs. Obenchain, whose third trial
is to open next Monday, "off Calen-
dar" with view to Eventually dis
posing of it,"
II will not consent to taking this
case off the calendar" Judge Shenk
was qouted. "Nor will I consent to
releasing Mrs. Obenchain on bail
prior to the trial or dismissal of the
case, because the proof is strong and
the presumption great"
1t was believed Judge Shenk would
consent to a dismissal if Thomas Lee
Woolwine, District Attorney, asked
for it.
Mr.. Woolwine said after the last
disagreement over the Burch case
that a decision as to the states fu-
ture course would be made "in day
or two"
Burch's case is to come up for re-
setting Tuesday. His attorneys have
stated they planned to file insanity
proceedings against him.

ELECTRICRATE
CUT I IS ASKED
IN JAMESTOWN
Hearing of Commission, on
=, Basis Of Appraisal, Shows
Excessive Return
CONTRACT. PROBLEM UP


Among the issues arising out Of
the hearing of the state railroad COM
mission in the matter of electric
light and heating rates in jamestown
probably will be the question of
whether the state commission has
power to break contract rates in Civ
Ing decision, it was said by rem
bers of the commission here today.
The commission has gone on record
as holding that it has power to do
so.
The commission has before it today
the results of the hearing conducted
in jamestown, Tuesday, the valua-
tion of its engineering department
of the property Of the jamestown
utility and the opposition Of the
utility to the commissions appraisal,
fixing of operating expenses and de-
probation reserve.
The construction cost of the elec-
trio property of the jamestown util.
ity, on which the commission bases
it's valuation, was found to be $685.
808 on the electric property and
$1O9,817 on the steam heat property
a total of $336,625.
The report of the company for the
past year showed gross operating
profit of S7O,221.23. The company
had deducted interest and federal
taxes in the sum of $10,932.48, leav-
ing net income of $59,288.75. On
the basis Of the engineers appraisal
the company to earn the maximum 8
per cent return fixed under the util-
ity low would show profit of $780,
932. On this basis the company made
an excess profit during the year Of
$32,567.75, or more than double what
the commission holds to be fair re.
turn, and this would indicate James
town consumers will get marked
reduction in electric and steam heat
rates.
The cost of producing kilowat
hour of electricity in the Jamestown
plant was shown at ..O6098, which is
engineers of the commission say, one
of the lowest operating expenses in
the entire state, Though the COM
pany gets large part of its coal
from Duluth ports.

Chief Justice Taft, Gompers
And Others Named as
Witnesses
BLAMES APPOINTMENTS
(BY the Associated PresN


Washington, Dec. "a statement
of formal charges by Representative
Keller. Republican of Minnesota, set
ting forth ID specific grounds on
which he seeks the impeachment of
Attorney General Daugherty has been
submitted to the house judiciary
committee which meets next Monday
to consider the charges. Transmitted
to the committee late yesterday Mr..
keller's statement was accompanied
by letter to Chairman Volstead in
which he declared the specifications
"set out and l am prepared to prove,
that the said Daugherty is guilty
Of serious misconduct in office"
and of "high crimes and misdeamean-
ors in IA particulars"
If any Of the grounds set forth
"can be said to be more important
than any other" Mr.. Keller said in
his statement, it was that group re-
lating to the "refusal and neglect Of
the said Harry NJ Daugherty to en-
force the antitrust laws of the Unit
ed States of America" =.
Alleging as another ground that
the Attorney General had appointed,
"untrustworthy. corrupt and danger
Gus men," to high office, Mr.. Keller
named Chief Justice Taft as wit.
ness to be called in supnort of this
particular allegation, with Geo. W.
Wickersham, former Attorney Gen.
eral, Samuel Gompers, president of
the American Federation of Labor
and Guy Oyster, Mr.. Comps secre-
tary as other desired witnesses in
this connection.
Another specification alleged
against the Attorney General by the
Minnesota representative was that
he had practiced fraud and deceit"
on Mr.. Taft, while the latter was
Presidens to obtain the release
from prison of Charles w. Morse,
and that because Morse's failure to
pay to Daugherty's associates in the
pardon proceedings an agreed. fee
he had "prostituted" the office Of
Attorney General for purposes OF
personal revenge" by securing in.
dictment of Morse.

DISCUSS CAPITULATIONS
(Ry tho AsSociatod prasS)


Lausanne, Dec, 2.-The, question
of Turkish cap;.ulations is on the
Near East conference program for
discussion today. Ismet Pasha and
his associates are preparing to
make a hard fight to sustain the
clam that the Kemalist government
has successfully terminated the spe-
cial privileges accorded to foreign
ers under the Constantinople re-
gime.
Tne progress of the capitulati ons
discussion in the conference is be-
ing watched with great interest at
Angora, as the moro extreme ma
t:onalists insist the privileges have
been so CALLING to Turkey that the
country will never again submit td
such q brand of inferiority, to the
western powers.
The nationalist spokesman will
attempt to prove to the conference
that all capitulations have been
waived by the Angora government,
that Turkey must no longer be
hampcred by foreign control of her
customs and financial affairs and
that the necessity no longer exists
for foreign consular courts to ad-
minister justice to other nationals
! living in Turkey. ...
The Ottoman debet was also a
topic to be called up today. ~

Frazier Speaks
! Speeches urging aid for farmers
were made by Senators-elect Wheel
er Of Montana and Frazier of North
Dakota. They said the farmers were
not receiving the cost of production
and were suffering from high freight
rates and car shortage.
Mr.. Wheeler said that progressive
senators in northwestern states had
won in the recent election "because
the people thought we had intesti-
nal stamina to stand up and fight
for what we thought right"
! Release of "political prisoners" al
so was advocated by Mr.. Wheeler,
who declared amid much applause
that he was for free speech and free
assemblage.
! Farm prices should be fixed and
stabilized, it was declared by Sena-
tor-elect Frazier, who said both state
and federal aid was needed by farm
ers. Referring to administration
plans for farm credit, Mr.. Frazier
said that lower money rates would
not alone be sufficient to aid farm
ers, but they also must get better
prices for their products.
"Something must be done to help
the farmers" Mr. Frazier said, coy
the nation will go broke, as the
farmers have gone broke"

CARS NEEDED
/ T0SAYE CROP
. OF NORTHWEST
Twenty Thousand Demanded
To Protect Produce From
Spelling
BIG LOSS THREATENED
North Dakota Authorities
Point Out Seriousness
OF Shortage

St. Paul, Mimi, Dec. 2.-Although
the car shortage situation mas
shown some improvement in the
northwest, it is necessary to rush
thousands of cars to this territory
within the next thirty days to save
the crops, both gran and produce,
it was claimed in a conference to-
cay in the office Of o. p. B. Jacob
son, chairman, Minnesota railroad
and warehouse commission and
Donald D. Conn, manager public re-
lations, Amer can Railroad Assocla-
s:on, and traffic officials of the
northwest railroads, grain commls-
sion houses and flour mills.
Representative were unanimous
in their opinion that the northwest
needs thousands of cars additional
to move the crop from the various
country elevators and that unless
the N ovement of empty cars to the
northwest is rushed, farmers and
shippers alike VIII lose millions G.
cellars.
Mr.. jacobson said that approx
mately 10000 cars are needed to
,ovc the potato crop from the Red
River Valley and thousands others
to move the grain crop from the
northwest.
Frank Milhcllan, chairman of tho
North Dakota Rail- Dad Commission,
also urged the necessity Of obtain
ing empties in that state, and said
that about 100000 bushels Of grain
are still on the ground and cannot
be moved to market because OF the
lack of equipment.
Mr.. Conn hopes through this con-
ference, to obtain data which ne
can use in expediting the movement
of cars from eastern lines to the
nothwcst. Some of the delegates as
sert that several hundred thousand
cars are needed while others are
more conservative in their esti-
mates, claiming that if the north
west should receive approximately
1000 cars day for the next thirty
days the situation would be cared
for, .. ....
