DAWES TAKES

LEGION PARADE
Candidate for Vice-President

tional Commander of the
American Legion

ST. Paul, Sept. 16.-Dividing in
terest with the annual parade of the
American Legion today was the visit
of General Charles G. Dawes, Re-
publican vice-presidential candidate
who came "solely as Legionnaire'
to visit the Legion national conven-
ton.
Despite the insistence of the
General and of Legion officials that
the General came as "Legionnaire
Dawes of the Evanston, Illinois,
Post" his visit attracted much in
terest. He declared upon his arrival
today that he would march in the
parade with the Evanston Post.
Business session activities this
morning included addresses b.
Charles Donnelly, president of the
Northern Pacific Railway; Albert
D. Alcorn, commander-in-chief of
the Spanish War Veterans and John
j. Tigert, United States Commission
er of Education.
Mr.. Donnelly held up the proposal
for government operation of rail
roads as an effort to establish a
bureaucracy and characterized the
issue as "a live one, potentially
serious"
Mr.. Alcorn brought greetings from
the Spanish War Veterans while
Commissioner Tigert praised the
American Legion for its success in
promoting educational and patriotic
work and said he hoped 1--WE will ne

Politics came to the fore sharply
with a we'll defined boom for Gen
eral Pershing to succeed John r.
Quinn of California as national COM
mander. Legionnaires boosting him
were reported telegraphing "feelers"
to the commander of the A. E. F. in
an effort to ascertain his attitude.

CITY'S ANNUAL
BUDGET PLACED
AT $4,000
Reduction of $23,6O2.OO Eff
fected Chiefly by Reduc-
ton in Water Works
COM BINATION MADE
City to Employ Full Time Au-
ditOr, Assessor and Water
Works Officer Combined

The city annual budget ordinance
was introduced by Finance Commits
sioner Larson at the city commission
meeting last night. 1t will remain
under consideration for two weeks
before final action is taken. The or
dinance probably will be changed in
some respects, it was said by men,
bers Of the city commission, al
thouAh various details are under
stood to have been pretty we'll con-
sidered informally.
The budget provides for a total
levy for all purposes for running
the city for one year, beginning Sep
tember 1, Of $98,31300. The same
levy last year was $121, 1880. The
reduction of $23,6O2.OO in the city
expense for the year was caused
chiefly by the fact that it was not
necessary for the city to levy $4,000
again to meet securities issued for
the water plant, this expense being
taken care of by revenues.
The commission made one consid-
cradle change in the method of ad-
ministration. 1t provided for full
time auditor, who shall also handle
the finances. of the municipal water
plant and be city assessor. This
change embraced in part recommer-
dations made by Commissioner H.
A. Thompson as commissioner in
charge of water and sewers, who
urged this change in a report, the
hiring of an engineer on salary
who should also be superintendent
Of the water plant and discontin-
uance of the five percent system

change was made in the latter sys-
tenn. The position of street com.

CLEMENCY FOR
YOUNG SLAYER
IS PETITI0NED
Leopold, Loeb Verdict AT
fectS Plea to Save Life of
Illinois Youth

Chicago, Sept. l6.--Shortly before
Bernard Grant, sentenced to hang
on October II for murder, signed
petition to Governor Small plead
ing for clemcncy, his attorney
Thomas E. Swanson, received tel
egram today from DR.. Agnes Lewis
of St. Cloud, Minnesota, stating that
citizens of St. Cloud would petition
the Illinois Governor to spare
Grants life.
The movement to save Grants life
was started after Judge John R.
Caverly spared the lives of Nathan
Leopold Jr. and Richard Loeb, rich
mems sons, and sentenced them to
life imprisonment for the murder of
Robert Franks.
The petition, which Grants lawyer
will mail to the Governor, probably
tomorrow, will not be simply SEN
timental appeal based upon the ac-
tion in the Leopold-Loeb case, but
the attorneys said he would cite the
facts in the case that Walter Crau-
ser, under death sentence with
Grant for the murder of Ralph Sou
ders, policeman, had repudiated his
first statement duplicating Grant
and now states that Grant had moth
ing to do with the holding up of a
tea and coffee store in which Soud-
erS was killed,
Grant claims he was 10 years old
when the crime was committed--the
same age as Leopold and Loeb. Crau-
ser also asserts he was only 49,
Grants appeal to the supreme court
was refused, and his only hope for
escape from the gallows is in the
Governors hands. Crauser has an
appeal pending before the supreme
court.
Grant was reared in the district
near the stockyards. 1t is not char
ged that he fired the fatal shot but
he was alleged to have participated
Crauser now says that Grant had
nothing to do with it.

FAIR AMOUNT
GRAIN CORN IN
THIS SECTION
Southern Part of the State
Suffers Only Spotted
Frost Damage

Frost damage to corn and late
flax and a general delay of harvest
and threshing throughout the state
by the rains that set in Sentember
10th, are noted in the mid-month
crop notes issued by j. G. Diamond,
federal agricultural statistician who
has issued the following summary
for North Dakota covering the per-
iod September l to 18th.
The first week of September was
fair and cool with night frosts that
were damaging to corn and late flax
especially in the northern half of
the state. General rains during the
second week have definitely checked
harvest and threshing operations for
several days.
Wheat harvest is now mostly COM
pleted with threshing well under
way in the eastern half of the state
and about to get general start in
the western districts. All harvest
work, however, is still delayed by
the rains of last week, which found
cons iderable wheat still in shock.
Some damage to wheat ir stock and
to standing grain by heavy winds
in the northwestern counties is
noted in some reports from that
area. Elsewhere harvest comments
continue very favorable both as to
yields and quality which for the
state are now generally considered
the best in several years.
Most of the corn crop in the nor
thern half Of the state was caught
by the frosts of the last night of
August and first week of September
which have reduced the prospect for
matured corn in. this area to a rel
atively small percentage. Corn in
the southern half of the state will
also show a spotted frost damage but
will have fair amount Of grain
corn.
Early flax is now mostly harvest
ed and a fair amount has already
been threshed. There is consider
able of the crop still standing in
shock and also large amount of
late flax still uncut. The late crop
is now expected to show general
spotted frost damage and particu
larly in the northern districts where
it was in many cases quite green.
There have been a few fields of
potatoes dug to date but harvest of
this crop is full two weeks later
than average. Frosts during the first
week Of September have killed off
vines in many cases which were still
green and growing and have prob
ably reduced the prospect somewhat.
Reports as to yields of the fields
now at harvest are not as favorable
as were expected. Quality, however,
will probably average much better
than year ago.
The recent rains while delaying
farm work generally, we're needed
in many sections for fall plowing
and seeding which work has been
somewhat backward as result of
the dry weather during the last
week of August and first week of
September. Pastures were also help
ed by the rains.

indicated some growing strength

Coolidge and Dawes clubs will be
organized in the institutions of high
er education in North Dakota, ac-
cording to James X. Pollock, repre-

found business men, members of
organized labor, farmers, in fact,
men in all classes, for Coolidge"
There is, he asserted, a decided
swing toward Coolidge in the North
west. He noticed it particularly in
Minnesota, he declared, and said
that it is noticeable in North Dakota
and is increasing.

BAD OIL CASE
is REVERSED

The supreme court has reversed
the verdict for the plaintiff, in the
case in which Donald Mcleod was
awarded $4,000 by Cass county
jury against Joseph Simon, Wheat
land storekeeper, and the Consum-
ers Home Oil Company of South
Dakota, for damages caused by fire
alleged to have been caused by the
use of mixture of gasoline and
kerosene sold to Mcleod by Simon
for Illuminating purposes. 7 h e
courts decision was based upon i'm
proper action by the court.
Simon had two tanks, one for gas
oline and one for oil, in connection
with his store at Wheatland.' Nc
Leod alleged that both Simon and
the oil company were responsible for
the addition of kerosene to the gas
oline tank, from which a mixture
was drawn and sold as Illuminating
liquid. The state oil inspector ex-
amined oil from the tank and found
it not to comply with require.
ments for illuminating gas, the evil
dence showed, according to the court
record. The case will be tried again
