AMERICAN ON
PREPARATIONS
BODY UNLIKELY
London Newspapers See Little
Point in MacDOnald's
Suggestion

London, July II (By the A. P.)-
The proposal Of Premiers Mac
Donald and Herriot to appoint an
American representative on the
reparations commission when deal
ing with possible German idefalca-
tion under the Dawes report is the
subject Of further editorial COM
ment this morning, but there is
little confidence that such an ap-
pointment is likely.
The Times says the suggestion
"is rather like the counsel of
despair, since it is difficult to
imagine that the United States
government in the present circum-
stances could think of reversing its
declared policies with reference to
the treaty of Versailles and all Of
its organs"
The Morning Post says, "It is alb
surd for Europe to- look to Amer
lea unless to put forward business
proposition. The Americans are
business people, not idealists. If
Europe means business, then Amer
lea will come in, whoever wins the
presidential election, and the only
way in which Europe can do busi-
ness is by an understanding be-
tween Great Britain and France"

BETTER CROPS
IN n. D. THAN
OTHER PLACES
Reports Show Generally Con.
ditions Poorer, While in N.
ID. They Are Better
WHAT REPORTS DISCLOSE

North Dakota may enjoy bounti-
full crops this year while other
states in the nation are experience
ing the poorest crops in years, ac-
cording to reports at the United
States Weather Bureau here.
According to the records of the
United States Department of Agri-
culture, crop conditions, taking the
United States as whole, are the
poorest in IL years. Reports receiv-
ed from field workers show that the
composite condition of all growing
crops on June l was lower than on
any corresponding date in more than
IL years, with cool weather and rains
in May in most areas retarding farm
work and causing slow termination
and growth Of crops. In many Sec
tions there was much replanting
necessary due to rot.
Dry weather prevailed on the Pa
cific Coast and May was hotter than
during any previous May during the
past twenty-seven years, and in
Washington the crops are unusually
poor. Wheat growers in Kansas are
also facing an Improbable season,
field reports indicate. While field
reports from North Dakota were
used to compile these statistics, no
other state in the Union enjoys such
excellent crop prospects as North
Dakota, unless perhaps in eastern
Montana. Reports received at the
local office Weather Bureau indi-
cate that all parts of the state are
in excellent condition. Spring
wheat, barley and rye are either
headed or in the heading stage. The
last named crop is beginning to rip
en- in many sections. Flax condi-
tions are excellent, the early sown
being in blossom or boil stage in
many localities, and generally of
good stand and color elsewhere.
Corn is making rapid progress, with
cultivation we'll advanced. No Sec
tion of the state is suffering from
lack of moisture, and crop prospects
for the state as whole are the
best since 1915.

CANDIDATE TO
START ACTION
IN SHORT TIME
Plans To Make Up For The
Delay Caused by the Dem
Ocratic Convention
BRYAN GIVES SUPPORT
COmmOner'S Statement Held
To Settle His Attitude
Toward Candidates

New York. July II (By the
A. P.)-After a good nights rest
.at his country home, the first since
the Democratic convention opened,
John w. Davis today arose at 8
o'clock and left at $3.50 o'clock by
motor from Locust Valley to New
York to tackle at once the problem
of organization Of the national
committee and selection Of a chair
man to take charge of his campaign
for the presidency.
On arriving at the home of Frank
l.. Polk, former under-secretary of
state, Mr.. Davis conferred at
length with Cordell Hull. the pres
ent chairman of the Democratic
national committee, and other
party leaders.
Organization of the new national
committee probably will not for
mally take place until after the
notification ceremonies at which
Mr.. Davis will make his first pub
lie address on the issues of the
election. But the nominee hopes to-
complete details of the organization
of the party's council in the next
few days, since the protracted ses-
sion Of the convention has delayed
the opening of the campaign be-
yond the customary time.
He intends to get as early start
as possible and if, as he expects.
the choice of a chairman is made
before the end of next week, Mr..
Davis will then take a vacation of
about fortnight in New England.
McAdOO to Bolt
All doubt about the attitude of
William Jennings Bryan toward
the head of the ticket seems to
have been dispelled by Mr.. Bryan's
statement that his support will be
forthcoming. Mr.. Bryan and his
Bryan of Nebraska, nominee for
vice president, dined with Mr.. Da-
Wis at the Polk residence. There
remained some wonder as to the
position of w. G. McAdoo in the
campaign. The New York World
today prints front page story
suggesting that Mr.. McAdoo may
form another party, possibly with
the aid Of w. r. Hearst. whose
newspapers have indicated that the
publisher is far from pleased with
the choice Of the Democratic-con-
vention. Mr.. McAdoo has main
tanned silence since sending a tele-
gram to Mr.. Davis limited to the
words: "Please accept my con-
gratulations."
Some of Mr.. McAdoo's friends,
who doubt the suggestion Of a bolt,
point out that Mr.. Davis has re-
ceived by wireless congratulations
from Bernard Barucn, a warm sup
porter Of McAdoo, of Miss Mar
garet Wilson, McAdoo's sister-in-
law, and other McAdoo partisans.

TITLED W0NlAN'S FIGHT TO SAVE
Y0UTHFR CALLOWS ISFAILURE
Walter Muir II Years Old, Is Hanged in Montreal Canada,
For Murder of Man Who Abused His Crippled Crony-
declares That He Only Meant to Scare Victim

Laviolette he only meant to scare
the man. He fired two bullets into
the floor, one Of them glancing and
striking Laviolette in the breast.
A jury found Muir guilty and he
was sentenced to hang last April. A
reprieve was granted to permit of an
appeal. The appeal was dismissed.
1t was then that Countess Richie
lieu, formerly Miss Elinor Douglas
Wise of Baltimore, opened her long
unavailing struggle to free the
youth. She cancelled all SOCIAL en-
gagements and enlisted in her fight
men and women of prominence in
Canada. Workers on behalf Of Muir
based their appeal because of his
youth-he was only u years old
and lack of criminal intent. Al
though sympathy was abundant
among the Canadian officials the
law would permit of but one inter
probation, in their eyes.

WOULD SUE CITY

Joliet, H., July l.-Suit should
be filed against the city Of Joliet
to recover $4,000 damages for the
wrecking by an explosion of the
Ottawa Methodist Episcopal church,
the Rev. Elmer Williams, a Meth
odist preacher and director of the
Better Government Association, said
today. He himself was the victim
of bomb explosion which damaged
his home, the result, some authori-
ties think, of his activity against
liquor forces.
We'll fight that yellow gang un-
til the proverbial freezing over of
certain locality" DR.. Williams de-
clared today. "When my home was
bombed. no word Of regret was given
by the mayor, the chief of police or
the states attorney. We have no gov
crnment, although. we taxpayers
spend $2OO,OoO,OOO a year for gov
ernment in the city and Cook coun-
ty. l hope the business men OF
Joliet will wake up now that all
their plate glass fronts have been
smashed. As a Methodist preacher
1T is my opinion that the city is re-
sponsible for the damage to church
property, and shall advocate that
suit be started to recover"
