MARK TAKES SLUMP;
MAKES NEW RECORD
Continued Initiation DriOcs IL
to 3,S4O to Pound Sterling.

LONDON. Aug. ASSOCIATED Press) -
German marks again suffered severe
slump on the London exchange market
to-day. After opening at $500 TO the
pound sterling the mark fell to a new
low record Of 3,S40 TO the pound. This
additional drop Is assigned in financial
circles TO the continued absence of any
indication that Germany is abandoning
l.er policy OF initiation.
The view taken in London financial
quarters OF the Balfour note Is likely
20 reopen the entire question OF inter-
allied Indebtedness and German repara-
ton payments
Other foreign exchange rates also
were unsettled on to-day's market.

SEEMS
TO BE NEAR TODAY

Washington, D. c., Aug. 3O.-Set-
Element Of the anthracite coal strike
appeared to be nearer today as the
committee of operators and miners
prepared to meet in a conference at
Philadelphia later in the day to con-
slider the compromise proposal of Sen
ators Pepper and Reed Of Pennsyl-
vania for the termination of the dis
pute. The Pepper-Reed proposal was
presented to John L. Lewis, president
of the United Mine Workers, Vice
President Murray, of the United Mine
Workers, S. D. Warmer, and w. J.
Richards, meeting in a conference in
the Office of the two senators yester-
day morning which lasted until two
o'clock this morning. The acceptance
of the proposal will eliminate the
troublesome arbitration which has
been the stumbling block for peace
discussion. Lewis said, "if the arbi-
tration question had been settled the
acceptance of the senator's proposal
would not be insurmountable." Sena-
tor Pepper also, it is believed, pro-
vides for a commission Of miners and
operators to investigate the condi-
tions in the coal fields. >-A0

Every time we make an error Willie
Murphy drops around to tell us about
it. The other day we carried news
item about the bonus and somehow the
linotype operator got three ciphers too
many on the bonus figures making it
read trillions instead of billions-but
so long as we have to pay the bonus
what difference would it make? Why
worry about few trillion dollars !?
But that is not what we want to tell
about here. Willie had great chance
to give us fine news item this morn
ing but as it was about himself he
entirely forgot about it, but he has
some good friends who want justice
done to him so they told us about it.,
and here it is. Bill has been driving
Frank Flora's big automobile and he
got so enthusiastic over the sensation
of riding in speedy car that when
he went into the garage yesterday
morning he kept right on going and
took the rear of the building out with
him. Most of us in the early days of
running cars have had such an exper-
fence but we hardly thought this of
Willie. No flowers needed this trip.
The garage got the worst of it, Willie
coming second with the carpenter bill
yet to pay for.

they had was on some deep sandy
roads in Wisconsin and on them they
had some time, he said, but when he
hit the pavement, oh boy, what a

cluded Fred Southall, of Minneapolis.
Arthur Knauf, of Jamestown, G. L.
Nielan, of Minneapolis, Fay Ross, and
Gilman Mudgett, son of Col. c. F
Mudgett., who are now visiting in the
city.
The members of the club discussed
the advisability of attending the inter-
city Rotary picnic which is being ar
ranged for Labor Day at Dawson
with Jamestown, Bismarck, and Man.
dan. After considerable discussion it
was decided to reject the invitation as
not enough members could arrange to
attend. President Carl Allen an
nounced that Tom Nugent and Edgar
Pray would represent the club at the
executive conference at Brainerd on
the Both and 31st. Percy Trubshaw
was called on to speak on the subject,
politicians I Have Known" Percy
stated that he could talk on that SUBJ
ject for several hours if he attempted
to tell of their peculiarities but that
he would confne himself to the great
er examples Of successful politicians.
He spoke of Jud LaMoure, Alex Nc
Kenzie, lille Arthur" Townley and
other great and near great politicians
the state had known, including Frank
Ployhar in the list. "Trub" made a
very good talk and suggested that if
present day politics had few more
men in public life like the politicians
of old the country would be better off.
Ed. Roberts spoke on Modern Den
tistry'' and told the members the
health advantages of clean, well kept
mouths, stressing the Importance of
preventative dentistry rather than
operative dentistry as being both more
effective and more economical. Edgar
Pray, at the request Of Carl Allen,
spoke for few minutes in farewell
to AL. Hammes, who was attending
the meeting as the last one he would
attend as member. AL. is leaving
the city next week and as a conse-
quence relinquishes his membership
in the club. He responded to the fare
we'll in a fitting manner, expressed
his sense of regret at leaving the city
and recommended his successors at
the Dakota Drug Store to the club
members.
