R0BBERSRAID
GOPHER BANK.
MAKE ESCAPE
Loot in St. Leo Bank Is Yet
Unknown, According to
President of Institution

Marshall, Mimi, Nov. 14.-After
cutting all wire communications lead
ing st. Leo here today robbers en-
tered the Farmers and Merchants
bank there and escaped after blow
ing the vault and scooping up all
available cash and negotiable papers.
The robbers, however, failed to gain
entrance into the strong box OF the
vault. Seven charges of nitroglycer-
inc we're used and as result of the
powerful charges the interior of the
bank Is practically wrecked.
Residents of the little village were
awakened by the first crash about
2 q. m. and an hour later heard an
automobile being rapidly driven out
Of town. The robbers gained entrance
by breaking the front window in the
bank building and then opening the
door. Two chisels were left behind
by the robbers when they made their
getaway.
The president of the bank, Harry
Tilcman, resides at Mineota, and he
was notified by courier.
The amount o. loot taken has not
been determined by The officials Of
the institution and according to Mr..
Tileman it will be sometime before
an accurate statement as 70 the loss
can be given.

WALTON TRIAL
Governor Refutes Charges
That He-Had Taken the
Oath of q Klansman
WILL ACE ISSU E
Declares That He Is Ready to
Present Data on Charge
When Times Comes

Oklahoma City, Oct. 14.-(By the
A. P.)-The Ku Klux Klan issue in
the impeachment proceedings against
Governor J. &C. Walton moved to the
fore today again as "side issue"
in the executives trial on charges
of official misconduct. Taking occa-
sion last night to deny the purport-
ed testimony Of former Kan Of
fetal that he had subscribed to the
oath and paid the initiation fee in
the organization the Governor let it
be known in a public statement that
the matter probably would fornf an
important part of his defense in the
trial. At the same time he made
public the names of IS members of
the lower house of the state legisla-
ture who, he said, had been repre-
sented to him as members Of the
Klan. The executive charged that the
legislature conspired with the Ku
Klux Klan to remove him from Of
fee.
II have the facts and circum-
stances in my possession to meet
this issue when it is pre- aensed in
the hearing" Governor Walton &C.
clared in asserting that ''while
strenuous efforts we're made by
Klansmen to have him join the or
gsnization he did not subscribe to
the oath nor did he pay the member

WALLACE FOR
EXPORT SALES
PLAN ON WHEAT
Says that u. S. Department of
Agriculture Is Engaged in
Working Out Plan
POS TPONES LOSS
Loss on Wheat Sold Abroad
Charged. to the Crop Next
Year, His Plan

Chicago, Nov. 14.-(By the A. P.)
An agricultural export commission
designed to restore farm purchasing
power by withdrawing exportable
surpluses from domestic markets "is
receiving the very careful consider
alton of the Depart hent of Agricul-
ture," Secretary Wallace said today
in an address.
While the proposal "is not put for
ward as a policy of the administra-
tion," the Secretary said, it has the
support and approval Of many Of
ficials who arc in a position to in
fluence legislation on the program.
The commission, 1t was explained,
would buy exportable products at the
American price and dispose of them
in the world market, charging the
loss to producers on the following
crop.
"Such commission as l suggest
and which We are now outlining will
look after the Yheat surplus from
behind tariff wall so that prices
can rise in the domestic market to a
point where bushel of wheat will
buy as much for the farmer as it did
before the war;" he said.
The secretary suggested that any
effort to fix prices by governmental
agencies would only add to the diff
.culties of the producers. In his view
a readjustment of the situation will
come only through a balancing Of
consumption and production and the
readjustment, would be interrupted
by any governmental agency.
Chicago, Nov. 14.-(By the Asso-
ciated Press)--A wheat commission
plan of handling Americas surplus
wheat Is now being worked out in
his department, Henry c. Wallace,
Secretary, of Agriculture, indicated
today in an address before the Chi
cago Association of Commerce.
Such commission as he advocates
would relieve the wheat farmer and
in conjunction with the tariff would
bring about a rise in the price of the
domestic market.
He made it clear, however, that
price fixing must be avoided and
warned that government interference
with the elements Of supply and de-
mand would hamper readjustment.

Suit of Truax Coal

The state of North Dakota, reply
ing to the suit of the Truax Coal
Company attacking the eight-hour
day section of the mine inspection
law, maintains that the law is valid
and in accordance with recognized
principles. The Truax Company
operates an open pit mine in the
Northwestern part Of the state and
asserts that the digging Of coal in
this mine Is not comparable to under
ground mines, and the eight-hour
day therefore should not apply. II

Attorney General Shafer,, replying,

CALL
IS UNPOPULAR
WITH ENGLISH
Prime Minister Baldwin As
~ sailed to Placing Protec- :
tive Tariff Vote Up
LIBERALS ARE ANGRY

London Nov. 14.-(By the A. P.)
Probably the first question. of a
foreigner after reading today's edi-
torial comment on the impending
dissolution of parliament would be:
"Why is this country having an
election? Clearly nobody wants it."
Discrimination to take a poll of
the electorate on the protection
question is manifested by all par
ties. The government supporters re-
luctantly agreed while their politi-
cal opponents are disgusted and re-
Sentful. Some of the comments are
victims and Prime Minister-Baldwin
is charged variously WITT unexam-
pied levity, shady maneuvering,
thickness and with having lapsed
from the traditional honor and de-
cency of British public life.
The Liberals, Laborites and So
cialists are very angry.
The Conservative newspapers,
while in some cases scarcely dis
guising their disagreement with the
premier's dec sion, say, in effect "the
die is cast. 1t cannot be helped now,
SO let's fight it OUT, i
One of the outstanding features
of the election will be the number
Of women's candidates.. It is esti-
mated that between 80 and 40 women
will seek adm ssion to the House of
Commons. LAZY Astor will again ap-
peal to her e.:c-0;rate and it is un-
derstood Mrs. Wintryingham will ask
her owA ~71sr.f1ency to return her.
1t is less certain, that the third wo-
man member. Mrs. Philipson, will
make a contest for her Berwick seat.
She is likely to retire in favor Of her
husband, who she was chosen to sue
ceed when he was unseated.

SERIOUS PROBLEM
Reich Says That Burden in|
the RhineIand Is Too Big
For It To Bear

Berlin, Nov. 14.-Political leaders
were discussing today the apparent
decision Of the federal government
to withdraw all federal support from
the Ruhr and >Rhineland territory,
leaving those territories to their own
devices or to the pleasures of
France and Belgium.
The impression grew that the
premiers and spokesmen of the oc-
cupied region in their secret confer
ence yesterday had agreed on the
abandonment Of federal jurisdiction
on those areas as means of saving
the rest Of the country.
The fact that further support Of
the Ruhr and Rhineland populations
would constitute an unbearable bur-
den on the Reich is believed to have
influenced Germany's leaders in de-
Gliding to leave on the shoulders Of
France and Belgium all responsible
ty for the fate Of the German people
in occupied territory.
Announcement Misunderstood
Apparently authentic reports were
in circulation yesterday that the
government was to proclaim an au-
tonomous Rhineland and consider
able surprise was manifest last
night when an official statement de-
clared the government "would never
sanction. the proclamation Of
Rhineland Republic"
1t was in this statement issued at
the conclusion of the secret confer
ence that the government explained
anew the seriousness of the unen~
ployment problem and of the genera
social and industrial conditions in
the Ruhr and Rhineland, giving the
impression that the Reich could no
longer consider itself responsible for
the occupied provinces.
This inference was strengthened
when It was learned in official quar-
ters that the government considered
such revision of its policy to he
the only course at its disposal.

Sioux Falls, S. D., Nov. 14.-A
group of local independent gasoline
and oil dealers last night announced
that they had retained George d.
Danforth as their attorney to aid
them in the fight to prevent the
state from selling gas.
In the face of the threat of legal
action by the oil men, Governor Nc
Master placed gasoline on sale at the
state penitentiary here today at
Is 1-2 cents per gallon. The state
depot at Mitchell sold gas at Is
cents yesterday at the Governors
order.
In Yankton gasoline is selling for
Is cents and other cities in the state
are expected to have state gas for
sale to the public at reduced rates.
Two routes are open to the inde-
pendents to bring a respite in the
gas war or stop it altogether, At
torney Danforth said last night. One
would be through an injunction filed
in the lower courts to -enjoin the
Governor from authorizing the sale
Of gas BY the state on the principle
that he is exceeding his constitu-
tional rights. The other would be
through an original suit filed with
the state supreme court. In this
case writ of prohibition would be
sought to prevent him from using
funds of the state to purchase the
gas and the machinery of the state
for disposing of it.
Mr.. Danforth said the latter plan
seems the better plan in that action
by the supreme court would settle
the matter for all time while an in
junction might extend it indefinitely.
The oil men who have retained
Mr.. Danforth will confer with him
today and at that time will decide
what plan they perfer to follow.
MUST SELL COOPERATIVELY
St. Paul. Nov. 14.-Only through
organization and maintenance of CO.
operative gasoline selling stations
will the motor vehicle owner find
relief from excessive gasoline and
oil prices in Minnesota under cur
rent conditions, declared John
Holmberg, state commissioner of
agriculture, in a report submitted
tcd7v to Governor J. A. O.. Preus.
The report deals with the investi-
CATION the commissioner made last
August into the price stipulation of
petroleum products at the request
of Governor Preus.
Commissioner Holmberg found that
the ordinary gross retail margin is
two cents a gallon on gasoline
though a spread of 8 to 10 cents has
sometimes existed.
He said dealers make profit of
40 to 12O percent on oils and greases.
The retail end Of the business in
Minnesota is "overdone" and there is
too great an expense in the main
tenance Of multiplicity of stations
for which the public must pay, he
said. Extravagant costs have been in
Cured in the purchase of station
sites and erection of elaborate build
ings. he said.
One-half of Minnesota's sales is
made by the Standard Oil Company
which through it's control of the
volume of business virtually sets the
price.
