Grafton of women's clubs, the resolu-
tions adopted by the clubs in district
convention at Larimore, June Is and
IA, are given below:
The great World War has disclosed
to this nation certain conditions
which should cause every lover of
America and American institutions to
think seriously as to their solution.
tons and to feel hat here in America
we have solved practically all the
problems of a democracy, yet when
we face sQuarely our situation, we
find illiteracy widespread and great
bodies of unassimilated foreigners in
our midst. We face the fact that one
in every four of the young men ta-
ken by the ~selective draft were phys
ically unfit. When We examine our
educational system we are compelled
to admit that u schools are taught
largely by the unframed and imma-
ture and our ideal of American equal
ity of opportunity in education is far
from being realized.
When: such disclosures are mado

remedy, so the educational leaders of

duty Of the federal government to
come to the aid of the states, provid-
ing natural leadership and financial
support in correcting conditions which
affect the nations life and future
greatness.
The Smith-Towner bill, now known
as the Demonstrating bill, was pre-

every adverse criticism. So tIlat now
the only opposition from sourc-
es opposed to the American idea Of
public education.
Therefore. it is the conviction Of
the convention of the First District
North Dakota that the Towner-Ster-

; in principle.
Resolved, that we pledge our hearty
support to this measure and call upon
the senator's and representatives in
congress from this state to use every
| effort to see that this bill. or a bill
embodying its principles, is speedily
enacted into law.
Resolved, that we endorse the pro-
posed plan for county libraries as
formulated by Miss Mary E.. Downey,
secretary of the state library board.
Resolved. that we pledge our sup
port to our state department of edu-
cation in its efforts to eliminate illit-

and gave a partial description of an
elderly grey haired man who took
Superintendent Mcdowell from the
ranks before the wood was reached
and killed him.
Fndlay testified at the coroner's
inquest that Mcdowell shot at two
men on Wednesday during the first
attack on the mine and that he saw
one crumple up and the other threw
up his arms and fall. The coroner's
jury decided from, his description
that one of the two was a miner
named Henderson and so found Nc
Dowell responsible for his death.
The timekeeper told the investi-
gators hat snipers attacked the mine
about noon on Wednesday and kept
up a more. or less fire until about 4
o'clock when Mcdowell, seeing the
two men on a hillside a quarter of a
mile away. shot them with a high

Inlef Falls, Mimi, June 26.-
facts discovered by a BURNS detective
a. Bisbee, N:~ d. Saturday are e K
pected to throw considerable light on
the mystery surrounding the murder
u Fred Bergen during the looting OF
the Lamb National bank at Michi-
gan: N. D., early Thursday.
Red Mccarthy. of Cando, N, D.,
and John Mcneil of Warroad, Mimi,
nelo mere by w. j. LaBree, sheriff OF
bennington county as suspects in con-
nection5with the crime, said they were
IN blsbee when it occurred. The sher-
II said that the detective telephoned
saturday from Bisbee that he had
found sufficient evidence to send
Mcneil to the penitentiary and that
he had secured information regarding
others. What the nature of this al
lesed evidence may be is unknown.
Sheriff LaBree said that the detective
ala not say whether or not his alles-
cd evidence against Mcneil was in
connection with the Michigan crime,
that he assumed it was.
The Burns detective is returning
mere by automobile and is expected to
arrive early Sunday. He left for Bis
bee Friday night after questioning the
prisoners here. It is believed that it
might have been possible for the men
who robbed the bank and murdered
MI. Bergen to have operated from
Bisbee, some SIS miles away.
Third Man Sought.
Efforts are'being made to locate a
third man who disappeared from
Thief River Falls in an automobile
when it was learned that Mccarthy
and Mcneil had been captured at Red
Lake Falls, Mimi, and were to be re-
turned here, according to Sheriff La
Bree.
The sheriff said that other clues
are being run down that it was ex-
pected might aid in clearing up the
crime. )
He said his prisoners would not
fight ~extradition and were willing to
return to North Dakota. to face trial.

A. barber here who claims to have
known McnZel-also a barber-while
he worked At Devils. Lake. North Da-
kota, some time ago.. volunteers the
information. according to the sheriff.
that late Thursday he was surprised
to find Mcneil camping in his auto
mobile. The local. barber said that
Mcneil begged him to lake him a few
miles out into the country according
to the sheriff. but that he refused.
Mcneil has not yet explained this
alleged endeavor to slip out of the
city unnoticed.

The conference will consume at least
three weeks from the opening Of the

PARIS, March 6.~-Another query to
learn if Washington has experienced a
change Of heart with regard to the
Genoa conference has been sent from
Rome, it was learned here to-day. In
the mean time Italy has notified France
and England that she will adhere TO
the date agreed upon by Premiers
Lloyd George and Poincare at the Bou-
logne meeting. The date fixed at that
meeting for the Genoa conference was
April 10. Inquiries also have been sent
out by the Italian government TO all
the countries interested to learn if that
date will be agreeable to them.
Included in the general notice were
Berlin, Moscow and Washington. 1t is
understood that the objectives of the
conference will follow closely those
agreed upon at Bouogne, and that dan
gerous political questions viii be
avoided This probably VIII exclude
the question of provisional recognition
of the Soviet government unless the
American government shall have
changed its attitude. In any event it
