WOOL GROWERS CALLED
I TO ATTEND CONFERENCE
9 .s-;gsaIs y j.
Meeting Under Auspiee. Of
Farm Bureau to Consider
Wool Sales Agency

Minnesota wool growers are asked
to attend meeting to be held in
St. Paul, Wednesday Ii November Is,
under Farm Bureau auspices, for
the purpose of perfecting a state
association. The object of the or
ganization will be to improve the
quality of Minnesota wool, give
growers a better understanding of
grades and the market demands and
to foster statewide pool. The
meeting has been called by J.F. Reed,
president Of the Minnesota Farm
Bureau Federation.
Every grower who is interested
in forming a statewide pool on
permanent basis should attend" says
MIR. Reed. .'Prices Received from
wool pooled this year have been very
satisfactory to all who took advan-
tage of this economically sound
method of marketing. Those who
did not pool shared in the advantages
because they obtained far better
prices locally than would have pre-
vailed had the wool pool not existed.
"This country produces less than
IS per cent Of wool consumed and
the producer should and must have
his own marketing organization"
Farmers who pooled their wool
this year received 5 to 8 cents more
than they would have obtained, had
they sold to SPECTATORS early in the
summer, according to F. L. French,
secretary, who has been in charge
of that phase Of the Federation's
activities.

Texas and mentioned in the suit as
zone who acts as an organizer for the
so-called Invisible Empire" is also

Khan and bore the seal "Richmond
Khan No. 80. Realm of Texas,
Knights of the Ku Klux Klan." The
letter reads:
.'Miss Meyer:
"You will cease at once all inter
course, both personal and of bus
mess nature, with Leo Robinowitz.
This also applies to Houstonj and
your so-called society stunts. We
see everything and warn but ONCE
K. K. K"
Miss Meyer was employed as a
book-keeper in a stdre owned by
Robinowitz at Needleville. She
claims that she was Inundated by the
act of the Khan and that her repu-
tation was damaged by the threat

purpose for which the defendant is
organized and is in violation of its
characters, constitution, bylaws, rit'
uals proc1amations and orders"

Ward is Released
 n S5O,OOO Bail
Wealthy Defendant Facing Murder Charge Admitted to Bail by Supreme Court Justice Seeger Court Re fuses to Dismiss Indict- ment.

w lltes Plains, N. Y.,a July 11-Walter g. Ward swf1o has been held in the sNestchester county jail for the past 26 days on an indictment charging him with first degree murder of Clarence 1Pe -ers, 3 f9rmer sailor, was released late today in S59, 900 bail .by73 Supreme Court Jus tee Seeser although the court refused to disnliss the indictment
 Ward expressed himself as t.very hap pyHa and left at once for his New Rochelle nome in company with his wife and relatives.
 Mrs. Willard Curtis. Wards mother in-l Sw, who was sought for weeks in New Rochelle by subpoena servers with out success sat through the hearing be- side her daughter, and left with Wards party without an attempt being made to serve her. She had been sought to a2- pear before the grand jury and recently District Attorney Weeks issued a sub spoefia, for her. to testify in the con- sl;racy charges brought by him. against Ward's S father, George S. Ward Ac- coEding to Ralph D. Ward, brneher of the defendant Mrs. Curtis has been liv- ing quietly in New Rochelle with her daughter all the time.
 Justice Seegar, in announcing his de- cision to admit the wealthy defendant to bail after he had heard the arguments
 of his attorneys for dismissal or tha in- dictment said that no evidencs had been submitted to prove that Ward acted other than in self-defense. when an at tack was made upon him or that the crime had been one of deliberation.
 Tt Is my Judgment, he said, that the evidence submitted Goes not warrant an indictment of murder in the first da- gree. The state on it's end of the taae undoubtedly has done it's duty, but seems to have over-stepped. There appears to be certain evidence favoring the defend ant that was not submitted to the grand i jury and it also appears that certain H. legal evidence has been permitted" ! Justice Seeger said he doubted if eith- CT could have any effect upon the de- gree of the charge against Ward
 T do not think, however" he contind- ed, That the circumstances warrant a dismissal of the indictment. The ques-
 ton of fact will have to be properly submitted to a jury upon trial of the ac- tion.''
 In announcing his decision to admit Ward to bail. the justice said he had talk en into consideration the fact that Ward had reported the staying of Peters tc the authorities, within a fairly reasona- ble time after the killing"

SAYS GOVERNMENT MUST
 CONTROL COAL INDUSTRY

Washington, July 11.-Drastic control of the coal industry by the government must come eventually, Senator Borah, Idaho, chairman of the senate labor com- mittee, declared today in an informal statement commenting on President Harding's efforts to end the coal strike.
 Senator Borah said that he hoped the presidents commission plan would bring results and added that a commis- sion should be appointed to determine means for applying government control to the coal industry.
 T think the suggestion of the presi- dent with regard to the men going back to work pending a settlement is of course entirely desirable,n said Senator Borah,
 But, I do not believe that anything short of drastic control by the govern ment of the coal industry will bring any thing like permanent relief"
 "A commission. such as suggested might work out a settlement of the pres ent trouble. but the thing might break out again iu sixty days..s or six months feel therefore that after the present matter is adjusted by the president, If possible there ought to be taken up the question of government control. This does not necessarily lead to government ownership. but it may.
 That some legislation would be re quired to work out the presidents pres ent plan, was assumed by Senator Bo- rah, who said he had no doubt, but that 1t would be enacted promptly by con- gress upon the executives request. This would not be needed immediately in any event, he said.

ASSISTANT SECRETARY
 or TREASURY RESIGNS

Washington, July 1-President. Hard ing was understood tonight to have un- der consideration the resignataion of Ei- mer Dover, of Ta1e ma, Washn., and formerly of Ohio, as assistant secretary of the treasury in charge of customs and internal revenue.
 Information of the resignation of Mr, Dover was received at the capitol today from treasury sources, but something of mystery surrounding the sevcrencs of the assistant secretary,s connectfofr with the treasury as official confirmation or denial of the report was wholly .ack- ing.
 At the treasury 1t was said that Sec retary Mellon had no statement to make and that the matter was one for Mir.
 Dover and the president. At th. Wfsise House it was made known that Presid mt Harding had no comment to make at this time. MT. Dover himself would neither confirm nor deny the report, declaring that he had nothing to say
 The resignation of Mir Dover,#it was indicated, could be regarded as the cul- imitation of his controversy with David H. Belair commissioner of internal rev enue. which has ragged for several months over the proposed reorganization of the internal revenue bureau
 According to the accepted opinion in administration circles, Mr. Dover was named as assistant secretary of the treasury by President Harding last De ] cenrber to re-organize the customs ser vice and the revenue bureau. Re-organi- zation of the customs service was effect ed by Mr. Dover early in the year. but his plans for changes in the personnel Ui the revenue bureau ran counter 10 the administration ideas of Commissioner Blair and Secretary Mellon. .Fric.s,ln, of heially described as disagreements as
 to policy Waxed warmer with the oc-
 currence of a number of incidents, in cluding the removal of Dover appointees and the issuance of an order by Nil Blair eentralizing ali discussion of ar. pointments in the offices of the commits sioner and the appointment divisioii.
 This reached it's height recently wher c. c. ChiIds, of Ohio, and A. D. Sumner of Iowa, supervisor of internal revenue collectors and deputy commissioner in charge sf accounts respectively. wert l dismissed through the consolidation oi their offices by MT. MsSson upon rec 1 concentrations of the tax s.nplificltior
 board and Charles R. Nash of Minneap olis, was selected as deputy commission CT of accounts and collections.
 In some official quarters the view wa l advanced that President Harding wa

WOULD STOP NEW
 HAVEN FROM VOTING

Boston, July 11-Decision was reserv- edby Judge Crosby in the supreme court today on the petition of Edmund D. Goldman, minority shareholder of the Boston and Main railroad company, for an injunction to prevent the voting of stock held by the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad company at the adjourned annual meeting of the Boston and Maine corporation to be held on Friday of this week.
 Trustees for six directors of the Boston and Maine nominated by the New Haven were appointed recently by the United States circuit court for the southern dis trict of New York, and the bill sought to prevent the counting of votes case by these trustees The New Haven owns 12o, GOO shares, or 2S per cent. of the Boston and Maine capitalization of of S17.428 shares.
 Counsel for the New Haven In oppos- ing the petition claimed that the votes could not greatly affect the result of the meeting, provided the remaining 72 per cent of the shares were well represented. It was also claimed that in granting the injunction the supreme court of Massa- chusetts would conflict with the federal court of the southern district of New York in that it would restrain trustees ap- pointed by the latter court from doing what they had been appointed to do.

 '.Elements which recently came to Upper Silesia from other provinces have, in several factories and mines, provoked serious uprisings against the Polies. fore ing out Polish. employers and workmen notably Gleiwitz These disturbances were participated in by the lowest Polish elements, who under the pretext of re- venee for attacks of the German or gesch, began to rob not only Germans but also peaceful Polish citizens. The movements had distinct anarchistSbol- shevist character but the more radical national element did not take part in it.
 Thanks to energetic efforts of the supreme national council and the Polish and German trade unions, the riots were suppressed The. Inter-Allied commission declared state of siege upon the request of Polish leaders. which would indicate that the whole movement was initiated by German clements"
