ST. PAUL.
st. Paul. May 2.-Northwestern
crop prospects have been improv-
ed materially by the return of
seasonable spring weather and the
outlook is most encouraging, &C
cording to surveys made by the
federal reserve bank and the land
bank. Experts forecast a smaller
g. wheat acreage because of retarded
seeding. This crop is uncertain in
this section if seeded after May
10. The general crop acreage, how
ever. will be of normal proportions
Fruit orchards have been benefit
ted by the cold weather which has
halted blooming until the danger
of frost practically was past.
The record number Of applica-
tions for loans from the st. Paul
land bank which totalled $4,000
900, reflects the exceptional stimu-
latien to farm investments. The
larger life insurance companies
and their investors in farm seeuri-
ties have returned to this field and
the interest rates on farm mort
cages have fallen in most instances
from s to 10 per cent to per cent
The employment situation in the
: Twin cities is approaching normal

out the northwest is increasing

so report better business. Rural

the most promising indications for a valuable return from drilling oper- ations. are disclosed.
 Regarding the fields on the west shore of Cook Inlet, extending from Inniskin Bay to Tuxedni Bay, the re- port gives but little additional in- formation from that contained in the, preliminary publication. It reiterates the original conclusions that the most promising part of this field for drilling would be along the main axial anticline of the peninsula. Heretofore such wells as have, been driven were too few, too shallow, and confined to too small an area to give a final test of tle possibilities of the field. The mistake has been further made of restricting the drill ling to the vicinity of the known oil seepages. The report concludes that it is believed the Inniskin field may contain valuable deposits of pe troleum.
 The report makes brief reference to the Nenana and Anchorage fields. In the former a survey has disclosed supposed petroleum seepage. In the Anchorage district a tar deriva- tive has been secured from the burn ing coal beds. In these fields only drilling can disclose whether or not oil is to be found in commercial quantities.
 The report is being prepared for publication by Professor George c. martin who issued the preliminary report last year.

SEATTLE, May IS. - The legal bureau of the Seattle Central Labor Council yesterday made public lengthy affidavits secured from w. E. Inmon and E. E. Sweitzer, two of the jurors who served on the trial panel which convicted the seven members of the I. w., W. of mur- der in connection with the Armistice Day riots at Centralia in 1920.
 The affidavits declare the present belief of the two jurors in the inno- cence of the convicted men. Both jurors now claim that all seven of the I. w. WIS should have been found not guilty They said that the jury in discussing the evidence in the privacy of the jurymen had con- sidered the safest thing to do was to find the defendants guilty of second degree murder. The jury con- sidered the condition of hysteria

which the whole State of Washing ton was in at the time, and thought it possible that if the defendants were found Not Guilty, a second trial would be had which might re- suit in innocent men being hung
 The affidavits also assert that the sentiment of the jury was far from unanimous; that in any ordinary case, where no public prejudice was feared, a mistrial would have re- suited, as certain of the jurors were not convinced beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendants were guilty. They claim that the argument over the verdict was settled by a consideration of the danger of the public passion to the men, rather than by calm weighing of the testimony presented at the trial. The publication of the affidavits is be- lieved to foreshadow an appeal for executive clemency for the men.

LABOR UNIONS
 NOT TO START
 CHAIN PAPERS

HOUSTON, May 1S.-The advent of the labor unions into the field of a subsidized press has been postponed The convention of the International Brotherhood of Locomotive Bremen and Enginemen, in session here, today, rejected a committee proposal to establish a fund of five million dollars for such a purpose. The plans were to set up a chain of daily newspapers which would be pub 1ished in the interests of organized labor along lines similar to the Seat tie Union Labor Record. The ab- stract proposition was endorsed by the convention in resolution con- demning the attitude of the daily newspapers of the country towards organized labor, but the resolution also stated that the conditions did not warrant the expense at this time. It was declared that an agree sment to raise such large amount would be unduly burdensome.

GENEVA, May IS. - The United States and France are about to reach an agreement concerning the French mandate in Syria, according to an an- nouncement made today from the Sec retariat of the League of Nations. The American government has persistent ly adhered to the position that it was not bound by any of the mandates con- ferred by the Versailles Treaty unless what Washington considered the proper interests of American subjects in the mandate countries were duly provided for and recognized. The same situation occurs in the Mesopo- tamian mandate given to Great Brit ain.

The business interests of Tacoma had entered strong protest against the removal order, demanding that the entire shipping situation here be investigated by the board, and claim ing that the evils complained of would be found to be non-existent.
