TEXAS POLITICS

Dallas, Texas, Oct. 23-President
Harding today entered the Texas SEN
atorial muddle in letter from the
chief executive to r. B. Kreager, state
republican chairman, in which Mr..
Harding commended the Texas repub-
licans for coming to the aid Of the in

against grouping of classes that tends
to the dictation that is not up to the
American ideal. Kregar recently re-

forcing the regulations of the Daug-

American vessels or Foreign vessels

final form here today, only lacking the
approval of Secretary Of Treasury

is understood, is to accept the ruling
of the application tomorrow. If the
Judge denies the application for per-
manent injunction and sets aside the
temporary injunction the forcing of
the regulations will be Immediately
put into effect. If the Judge makes
the injunction permanent the injunc-

put into a pigeon hole pending the
outcome of the expected legal battle
which will take the whole question of
the validity Of Daugherty's injunction
into the supreme court.

VALLEY HIGH
DEFEATS LISBON

The Valley City High school upheld
their record of not being scored
against this season on Saturday when
they defeated Lisbon High school by
a ~ to score on the Lisbon field.
This was considered one of the
hardest games of the season and a
defeat Of the locals would not have
| been entirely unexpected. However,
| the locals went down with the inten-
ton of giving Lisbon the best they
| had and as result the Lisbonites
We're unable to cross tine line at any
stage of the game.
The first touchdown of the game
came in the second quarter when
Larson broke away on the forty yard
line and chalked up six points for the
locals. The attempted dropkick was
blocked and the extra point lost. In
the same quarter one of the Lisbon
players broke away for run two
thirds the length Of the field but he
was forced out of bounds and the
touchdown did not count.
In the third quarter Seymour, who
, had been playing an exceptionally
good game and keeping in the lime
light, broke away for seventy five
yard run that terminated with anoth-
err touchdown and the final score of
the game, making the total IL to 0
for the locals.
Larson and Seymour were the big
stars Of the game. Larson played
his usually heady game and could be
depended on for gains whenever they
were necessary. Seymour played the
best game of his career, and that is
going some, being extremely shifty on
the offensive and breaking up the
Lisbon attack time after time. Taber
Otto Neumann, formerly in the lum-
defense and led the way on end runs
very effectively. The local team has
improved greatly in the past week
and their running of interference was
one of the features of the game. Tack
ling has been improved a lot and the
Lisbonites had little chance of getting
away at any time.
The locals go to Darlington next
Saturday and the date of Fargo game
on the local field will be announced
later.

farm loans in the year Of 1921; our
management has closed loans in the
amount Of $3,363,95O.00 up to Octo-
Der LIST, and had approved loans for a
total of $5,2S6, 10000. The old adj
ministration only made 748 loans on
2S months Of operation; this admins
tration has made 1912 loans during
the first nine months.
Realizing that the $4,000, 100000
bond issue provided by the old law
would soon be exhausted while the
need was still great, this administra-
ton initiated and submitted to the vo-
tiers bill at the June primaries to
raise that sum to $20:00O,00O. It was
adopted by large majority, so that
the future of the farm loan depart
ment of the bank is assured, provid-
ed that the independents continue in

LEGION HAS TROUBLE
in SELECTING HEAD

New Orleans, La, Oct. 10 - The
American Legion is having difficult
time in selecting a successor to the
National Commander, Hannaford Mac
Nittei. Dozens of candidates are in the
field but there is not anyone who has
tie apparent strength to insure his
election. Fridays election was the
principal matter of discussion OF the
meeting. The candidacy of William B.
Began, of New York, supported by
the delegation from New York who
are confident he will win out. Other
candidates insists that Beegan's as
sured strength is not more than ten
percent of the 1000 votes. His candi-
dacy is complicated by his row with
Colonel H. Forbes, director of the Vet
Grams Bureau which resulted in Forbes
departure and the cancellation of his
engagements to speak at the cpnven-
ton. Beegan's principal campaign
medium has been his attack on the
Veterans Bureau. 1t was reported
that Frank D'Olier, former Assistant
National Commander is ready to name
two candidates-Brigadier General
Drain of New York Drain has been
commander of the department and a
member of the rehabilitation commit
tee. A A. Sprague, chairman of the
rehabilitation committee, the other
candidate, will return home today. The
rehabilitation committee report failed
to denounce Brigadier General Sawyer
for his interference in the hospitali-
cation program as it had been expect
ed.

probably $125,00O resulted from q
spectacular fire last night which burn
ed for over three hours and half in
the heart of the downtown district de-
stroying the Taylor building, one OF
the oldest buildings in Fargo and
housing the Hubert Harrington hard

ces on the second. Extensive smoke
and water damage was done to the
First National Bank building next

and Paint Company on the other side
of the building and the Delco Light
Shop. Hundreds watched in the street
and for a time it was feared that the
whole block would be swept away of
which consits of many Of the oldest
buildings in the city. The Taylor
building, pioneers say, was erected rs
years ago. The First National bank
advertises, "the oldest bank in North
Dakota" Guests at the Hotel Daco-
tab at the end of the block were ready
to evacuate.
LATER-The Taylor building was
20 years old and was rebuilt after the

KAISER IS TO BE
MARRIED NOV. )

London, England, Oct. 20-Reports
indicating that the Kaiser was mar
ried today, flew thick and fast until
the official cable came from Doran
that Wilhelm Hohenzollern had mere
ly inscribed at the registrars office
that the marriage would take place
November 5th. The first cable re-
ceived from Doran read, "Today kai-
ser is bridegroom" The second cable
read, "kaiser officially inscribed at
the registrars office at Dorna and
marriage will take place November S."
More credence was given to the re-
ports of the marriage because of the
opposition by the German monarchists
who claim that their cause would be
lost by the marriage to the princess.
The wife of the former crown prince
is said to be the leader of the opposit-
ion to this marriage. 1t is expected
that the princess might have gone Sc
cretly to Doran. It is said that the
Kaiser's marriage would be perform
ed in two ceremonies. One of them is
to take place at the lodge at the out
skirts Of his estate and to be perform
ed by the civil authorities. The other
one is to take place at his home and
be under the ceremonies of the church.
At this ceremony it was said that they
will be only few present.

in detail the record of the Frazier adj
ministration and showed it's many
shortcomings which have been so

the expectations of many people in
bringing order out of chaos left by
the Nonpartisans and insuring the ef-
ficient, economical and impartial func-
tioning of the several departments of
the state government.
The speaker paid special attention
to the Farm Loans Department., show
ing that under the Nestos admins
tration it has made almost 300 more
loans in nine months than the Nonpar-
tisans made in % months. On this
subject the speaker said:
"The Nestos administration had

MORE NEW CLUES
IN MURDER CASE

New Brunswick, N. J., Oct. 10 -
Prosecutor Beekman disappeared
during the night and is reported to be
questioning some suspect in connec-
ton with the murder of DR.. Edward
Wheeler Hall and Mrs. Eleanor Mills,
his choir singer. This followed the dis
closure that the couple was murdered
in cold blood behind the school house
on the Red Bank road four miles
from the abandoned Phillips farm
where the bodies were found. Some
of the detectives and state policemen
disappeared at the same time. Two
men witnesses, one a bus owner and
the other an employee of the Rogers
College, came forward with the testi-
mony that they had heard a woman
shrek behind the school house on the
Red Bank road about 1920 on the
night of September 14th. The wo-
man shrieked for mercy. "Help, po-
liceman. Don't murder me-" A big
automobile was discerned standing in
the darkness. The two men declared
that later this car swept past them
with terrific speed. This car, the
authorities believe, is the one that
was used to carry the bodies to the
abandoned Phillips farm. About 20
minutes later the same car came back
and then went to New Brunswick
from the direction of the Phillips
farm where the corpses were found.
A man is said to have been crouching
over the wheel and a woman was sit
ting beside him. This could not be
confirmed, however. The search about
the school house revealed two side
combs, two handkerchiefs, one mans
and the other a woman's. One of the
handlerchiefs has initials in the cor
ner. One Of the handkerchiefs was
daughter of the slain woman, is said
to have identified the handkerchiefs
as being one of her mothers. Both of
them had blood stains on them. Fol-
lowing these new developments Mrs.
Hall and her two brothers, Henry and
William, who were interrogated, Mrs.
Hall was confronted with a mysteri-
GUS woman-a simple Austrian wife.
This was done to allow the two wit
nesses a chance to view her face but
it only resulted in Mrs. Hall and her
two brothers returning to their home.
Prosecutor Beekman was located later
it was reported in Summerville, but
refused to disclose the matter and in
sisted that there was no new investi-
cation in progress.
