SHIPMENTS
STOCK JUMP
Livestock Shipments on N. p.
Increase

thirtyfivc percent increase in
livestock shipments on the Northern
Pacific lines in North Dakota re-
Gently is reported by f. Il. Ellis
worth, travelling freight agent
There has been particularly an
increase in hog shipments, he re-
ported. One point, in asking for 32
cars, specified that 81 were for hog
shipments and one for cattle. A
few years ago this point, west of
the Missouri, shipped mostly cattle,
Mr.. Ellsworth said.
There also has been an increase in
shipments of sheep, particularly
from western North Dakota. The
spring wool clip, which starts about
June Is, will be much larger than
usual, according to his reports.
The exceptionally good winter for
livestock, more corn and better
feeding conditions are among the
reasons given by Mr.. Ellsworth for
the increased shipments.
Yesterday reports of increased
shipments of livestock on the Mis-
souri, River division of the 500 line
were carried in a Tribune story.

MUCH SUMMER

May Precipitation Somewhat
Light in Western Half of
State, Says Diamond
,---1' q W. ~. -,,'t
WINTER RYE STAND GOOD

"May precipitation over the east
ern half Of the state was gene ally
ample for crop needs, but in the
western half amounts were some
what light and need of further
moisture was reported in many To-
calities when the month closed says
the crop summary of j. G. Diamond,
agricultural credit statician, Grand
Forks, in his summary for the last
half of May. Temperatures during
May averaged unusually low with
frequent killing frosts in all sec
tions of the state Throughout: the
month. This weather retarded all
vegetative growth and was especial
ly unfavorable for corn. Much of
the early planted corn either failed
to germinate or was killed off by
frosts as soon as it appeared above
ground and a large percentage will
need to be resceded. A large amount
of planting for this reason has been
delayed beyond the usual planting
date. Seeding of flax has also been
held up for more favorable wealth
er, while frost damage to early seed
ed flax appears from reports to have
been fairly general. AS result Of
the delay in seeding and planting
of the late crops and the large
amount of spring plowing that has
been accomplished, there will prob
ably be large acreage summer
fallowed this season.
"Winter rye for most part is
showing good stands and color. The
crop is nearing the stooling stage.
Spring wheat, oats and bailey still
show very promising condition
free from weed growth, which is
generally believed to have more than
offset the lack of top-growth. Seed
ing was generally Completed by the
second week in May, although some
late barley seeding was in progress
in the northern districts when the
month closed.
Pasture growth has been slow.
but appears to have been generally
sufficient for needs of stock, except
principally in some central and south
central sections where feed supplies
have been running low and condi-
tion Of livestock IS reported some
what poor. Elsewhere livestock con-
tinues in fairly good condition.
Farm labor needs are smaller
with the spring rush of field work
over and supplies appear to be suffi-
cient for present needs"

CONFESSIONS
NOT SIGNEDB BY
LEOPOLD, LOEB
States Authorities Must Rely
on Witnesses to Their
Verbal Statements
CELLS ARE GUARDED
Authorities Fear Youths May
EndeavOr to Carry Out
Suicide Threats
CELLS ARE GUARDED

Chicago, June 4 (By the A. P.)-
Loeb, millionaire's sons, admitted
kidnapcrs and slayers of Robert
Franks, school boy, son of wealthy
Jacob Franks, have signed no con
fessions of guilt. it became known
today, and the state, which has ask
ed the grand jury for murder in
dlctmcnts, must rely on testimony
mcnts.
Double guards have been placed
in the county Jail to watch the cells
of the pair day and night until u
verdict is returned in their case.
Fearful that either may attempt to
carry out previously expressed sui
eide plans. all food brought to them
is, rigidly inspected and Jail employ
es have been cautioned to prevent
smuggling to them of any chance
for self destruction.
Not Hurrying Case
States Attorney Robert f.. Grove
said he would not hurry the indict-
mcnt against Loeb and Leopold and
that every available witness would
be called to testify before the grand
jury. Eleven witnesses went before
the jury yesterday and more than a
score yet remained to be heard.
That the defense will be made by the
most brilliant attorneys in the
country is considered by prosecu-
tors, because of the $15,OOO,OOO rep
| resented by the parents of the
youths.
"All the money in the world won't
save these boys" declared Michael
Hughes, chief of detectives. at is
the most complete case ever gotten
together. Solely on the evidence
given by Leopold and Loeb we have
| to permit them to escape. l am
certain they will receive the death
penalty"
Other Probes
Investigation of possible connec-
tion of Leopold and Loeb into the
shooting last fall of Freeman Louis
Tracy, university student, whose
DOuy Will d UulIcl lHIouSH lHc
head, was found near the university
campus, has developed that the bull
let with which he was killed fits
Leopold's pistol.
Although Charles Ream, taxi driv-
er; victim last fall of mutilation
attack, has identified Leopold and
Loeb as his assailants, authorities
are skeptical until an investigation,
under way, has been completed. I'm
official inquiry is also being made
into the death of Melvin Wolf sew
eral months ago, pronounced a
suicide by the police after his nude
body was found in Lake Michigan.
Wolf lived in the same neighbor-
hood as Franks, Leopold and Loeb.
The slain boys father was the
first witness to appear before. the
grand jury. After his testimony he
expressed sorrow for the parents of
the two youths and felt no hatred
for them but he said he would be
willing to spring the trap if they
were sentenced to be executed.

Rev. {. +. Strutz, pastor of the
Evangelical church of this city, was
at his mothers bedside when she
died. Moved by the plight of the
boy he and Mrs. Strutz took him in
their fold After the "flu" epidemic
the 'childrcn's homes of the North
west were crowded, and too, there
was not so much room for one
legged boy as others, Rev. Strutz
found. SO Edward has made his
home with Rev. and Mrs. Strutz.
Auctioncd or Papers
|a or bright and sunny disposition,
ambitious and eager to show his
gratitude, the little fellow has
sought to earn some money for him
self. He was selling the Bismarck
Tribune at the time of the Rotary
convention. He was at the train
when the st. Paul special was there.
A DR.. Jaeger. Il member of the
st. Paul club, was attracted by the
boy hobbling around on peg leg
calling "Tribune. He took the boys
bunch of papers and auctioned them
off and sometime later Edward
proudly showed Rev and Mrs. Strutz
| over eight dollars he had received
for his papers.
But the tragic picture of the little
fellow, on the temporary limb the
Strutz's had provided, remained with
the Rotarians. He ought to have the
best cork limb that money could
buy-here was chance for the st.
Paul RCtarians to spread little
sunshine. They decided to do so.
Going to st. Paul
Correspondence was instituted
with Dr.. LaRose, now president OF
the Bismarck Rotary club, ant
others. The st. Paul Rotarians
wanted to bring Edward to St. Pau
| and have the leg fitted--showing him
fine time in the city at the same
| time.
The Bismarck Rotarians, learning
| of the incident, were a little loathe
to let st. Paul take this pleasant
task from them, but the st. Paul
club insisted. Now, after consider
! able correspondence, it is arranged
that within two weeks Edward will
go to st. Paul and get his new cork
leg, which will not only make it
easier for him to get around but
will avoid the danger of injury to
his health that came from stamping
on a wooden leg.
The Bismarck Rotarians invited
Edward to be their guest at dinner
today. They will see that he gets
| off to st. Paul, and will also sec
that he has friend to look to in
Bismarck afterwards.

yesterday afternoon when the Ford

doctors worked with hope against

jured driver passed away an hour
later without regaining conscious
ness while members of the family,
his wife and three daughters and
only son, stood close to the bedside.
According to eye witnesses to the
fatal wreck, which occurred at the
same place Lynn Cowell came near
losing his life four years ago, Mr..
Kelly was driving south on the ave-

it is the general belief that he was

The widowed mother and her three
daughters together with the only son
came to the clinic shortly after the
accident and stood near the bed as
the father and husband breathed his
last.

Mr.. Daugherty's statement also de-
clared the federal court in Ohio, in
the litigation between the committee
