SoIons Seek to Force Calling Extra Session

MINNEAPOLIS, Minn.. July 30. A campaign to arouse congress sional sentiment and to force President Harding to call 8 spe- cial session of Congress to con- slider the agricultural emergency was inaugurated here Monday by Senators Magnus Johnson. Henrik Shipstead, Smith W. Brookhart and Lynn J. Frazier.
 Immediate relief for wheat farmers of the northwest Is necessary, the quartet of pro- sressive leaders announced after an all-day conference. If suc- cessful in securing 8 special ses- sion, the four senators will take the lead in demanding the ere ation of an emergency market ing commission to fix a minimum wheat price. This price, 1t was announced. must cover "produc- ton costs plus reasonable profit"
 The four senators were deeply concerned about the illness of President Harding and expressed hopes for his early recovery. As soon as the chief executive Is able to receive them they will place their demand for emer- gency action before him. Mean while, an attempt is to be made to enlist other senators and con- gressmen in the movement.

FRENCH NOTE BRINGS LITTLE: {:
 HOPE EOF PEACE:
Baldwin And Curzon Frankly PeSSimiStic Over Outcome Of InteraIIied Negotia- tions Upon Preparations
 NO SIGN OF MIRACULOUS CHANGE OF HEART SEEN Premier Poincare Believed To Be Unchanged In His Stern Policy Toward Germans In Seeking To Force Payments

LONDON. July 30.-(By Associated Press.)-The French and Belgian am bassadors this evening handed to Lord Curzon, secretary of state for foreign affairs, the replies of their governments to the British note pro posing negotiations with Germany to solve the problem of the Ruhr and the greater problem of German repa rations. Thus. commonplace enough, ended one chapter in the nego- tiations.
 Yet it is a question whether these notes do more than open another chapter in the wearisome process If Premier Baldwin has brought about any change resembling finality or an allied agreement he will be acclaimed as a miracle worker. But there are no signs that miracle has been worked.
 Premier Baldwin and Lord Curzon plainly cherish no such optimism. Both spoke briefly in parliament the commons and lords. respectively today on the position of the nego- tiations at that moment. Both were terse; neither voiced any hope that Great Britain and France had drawn closer together.
 the topic before parliament adjourns Thursday, as the members are eager to learn the exact status of affairs. Baldwin Pessimistic.
 The premier, speaking only an hour or so before the foreign secretary re- ceived the ambassadors. told the com mons it was very doubtful whether anything would be received which could be published in Thursdays de- bate. The premier gave one gloomy hint. q am afraid" he said, it will only be a continuation of the nego tiations."
 Lord Curzon informed the lords. with an air of weary resignation, he certainly would give them state ment Thursday If t were within his power to do so, but his manner clear ly indicated he did not tisink it would.
 No hints have come across the channel that Premier Poincare has even modified his declarations that there will be no beginning of conver sations with Germany until and un- less Germany formally renounces passive resistance in the Ruhr and that there will be no withdrawal from the Ruhr until Germany has paid France all she demands.
 That seems to be the deep gulf which no minor concession that France makes to Great Britain can bridge.
 One outstanding feature of this latest chapter in allied dealings has been the deep secrecy which has shrGuded it. There has been no at tempted revelations of details of the British note nor of the French and Belgian replies on any important points except such as intelligent guesswork based on what knowledge of the policies of the two govern ments could offer.
 Seldom have secrets known in for eign offices and to the cabinets in half q dozen capitals been so successfully hidden. In the previous stages of the debates all the important points have been quickly published and the French newspapers have been the quickest and most sure in their knowledge. making allowances for their natural leanings toward placing French interests in the center of the lot.

Chicago Board Of Trade Official Pro-
 tests Against RcatrictiOnA


 CHICAGO, July 30.-C;rain ex- changes of the United States have been completely vindicated of the most unfair charge ever brought against an industry" John R. Mauff, executive vice president of the Chi cago Board of Trade, declared to- night in commenting on the federal trade commissions report on opera tions of grain exporters, made public yesterday.
 The commission, he declared had found that the price slump from July, 1920. to September, 1922, was not due to speculation or manipula- tion but to other factors, including supply and demand
 In view of the commissions con clusion based on long and thorough inquiry" MT. Mauff's statement said, ''it seems pertinent to ask why the commission should suggest new re- stricttons for the already ovcrbur- dened exchanges All agitation, all Legislation has been based on the contention of political agitators. now branded as false by the commission, has caused chaos in an industry and for three years has compelled the ex- changes to fight for their existence"

hearing will be held by Register In Chancery Marvin West August 10 to determine If possible who were the remaining members of the, local Elks lodge when the lodge was dissolved several years ago. 1t is hoped by the hearing to obtain the names of those members in good standing in order that the affairs of the lodge may be finally wound up and the proceeds of g sale of assets held by trustees since the dissolution be di- Vloed among the membership.
 It Is stated the desire for court hearing results from the fact that some of the records of the lodge, which ceased to function sometime before the World war, have been lost The action announced Monday re- called 10 many local residents the days of 1901-62-03 when the lodge reached the heights of it's glory and usefulness.
