TAX SALE Is
HELD BEST IN
YEARS
Delinquent Taxes Offered For
Sale Less Than in Pre-.
vious Years

The "best tax sale in four years.
according to county officials, was
held yesterday afternoon at the
courthouse.
About rs percent Of the unpaid
taxes was sold. The amount of un-
paid taxes this fall was smaller than
at any time in the last four years.
Two years ago but few bidders
sought delinquent taxes in western
North Dakota including Burleigh
county. The manner in which taxes
are being paid this year with the
consequent smaller delinquent list
and the increase in the number of
bidders, is taken as substantial
evidence of improved conditions and
renewed faith in the country.
Bidders included C. F. Clark Of
Cedar Rapids, Iowa; G. F. Dullum,
Joseph Breslow, E. L. Bannon, Sarah
Duffy. A. H. Gallagher, r. G. Phelps
and E. c. Ruble, the latter of Dris-

POLICE HOLD
NEGR0F0R "a
AK MURDERS
Birmingham Police Think
They Have Man Who Has
TerrOrized the City
IDENTIFIED BY TWO

Birmingham, Ala, Dec. 12-Policc
and county officials expect to gather
further evidence today connecting
Fred Glover, negro, with at least a
part of the series of "a AK murders
that have occurred in Birmingham.
Glover has been identified by Mr..
and Mrs. Edwin Sparks as the negro
who hit Mrs. Sparks over the head
Sunday afternoon Mrs. Sparks is
recovering from her wounds.
The finding of a bloody hatchct
and a pistol in Glover's room and his
criminal record add weight to the
belief of officers that they have
arrested the right man. 1t is pointed
out also that while he was in prison
on another charge sometime ago
there were no ak attacks.
"We are sure we have the right
man and we think we are going to
be able to place the responsibility
for the other attacks that have been
made all along" said Solicitor Jim
Davis.
Doubts were still expressed by
Birmingham citizens that the right
man had been arrested. So many
fruitless priests have been made in
the past that there are many skep-
tical of Cl0ver's connection with the
crime which besides the "a killed has
included % who have been seriously
injured. The last death occurred
Monday when J. d. Haywood sue
cumbed to injuries from an attack
on November 20 while returning from
work.

COOLIDGE SAID
SYMPATHETIC
TOWARD STATE
Particularly Interested in
North Dakota and Mime:
e.
sofa, Says ]. A. Kitchen


President Coolidge is especially
sympathetic toward Minnesota and
North Dakota and, if his view toward
the Northwest is exaggerated 1t is
to the extent that conditions agri-
culturally are worse than they really
are, according to Commissioner OF
Agriculture and Labor ]. A. Kitchen,
who has returned from attending a
meeting of Commissioners of Agri-
culture Of the various states with
Secretary Of Agriculture Wallace.
Mr.. Coolidge, he said, was very
cordial in his greeting and in a
speech to the commissioners sum
ming up agricultural conditions he
expressed desire to use the force OF
the government as far as possible to
relieve the situation. However, the
president does not believe that price
fixing is sound method.
The general view of Washington
officials, Mr.. Kitchen said, was that
agricultural ills cannot be cured by
legislation. They also do not feel
kindly toward measures proposing
additional funds to be loaned to
farmers, believing that too much
credit is one of the ills of agricul-
ture today. Commissioners of Agri-
culture from other states, he said
reported q belief that many of the
ills will have to be cured by farmers
themselves, in increasing production
Of the amount of vegetables and 9TH
or products and decreasing the
amount of canned goods used on the
family table.
Mr.. Kitchen discussed immigra-
tion and labor conditions with Secre-
tary James J. Davis and other Off
cials. He said the department. be-
lieved that the three percent limita-
tion on immigration was too strict
but that laws, should be 50 changed
that selection of immigrants would
be made abroad and the quotas OF
immigrants from northern and west
ern Europe increased while the
quotas from southern and southeast.
ern Europe were lessened.
The message Of President Coolidge
which he heard, was what was gen.
orally expected in. Washington, ex'
cept that few expected the president
to be so blunt in his declaration on
the soldiers bonus, Mr.. Kitchen said
He added that the frankness Of the
president in giving his views upon
the problems before the country won
him great respect in Washington.
