URGE CONN FOR PLACE

New England in the event Miss Min
ME Nelson will not be a candidate
again urges support of G.. w. Conn.
The New England paper says in part:
ii man can write 4 better book,
preach better sermon, or build a
better rat trap though he build
ms home in the far retreats of the
Bad Lands of North Dakota the
world will make Il beaten pathway
to his door
When George w. Conn, one of the
leading educators of the state of H.
llnols, moved to North Dakota and
became the proprietor of the histor-
&c HI ranch, one of the best known
beauty spots in the Bad Lands Of
North Dakota. he little realized how
quickly the reputation he built in a
distant state as leader in things
educational, would find him out.
During the past few years he has
been engaged in ranching. in real
estate and in banking, but his heart
IS still in the educational work for
which he is so eminently fitted.
Even In the press of business he has
found time to take part in institute
work, to give addresses and to aid
school work in county and state. He
played an important part in carry
ing on patriotic organization work
during the World War. Ability such
as his cannot be hidden, during the
past few years numerous opportuni-
ties have been presented for him to
get back into the work he loves so
we'll.
Now comes the demand from many
quarters of the state that G. w,
Conn of Amidon become candidate
for the office Of state superintend-
ent of public instruction. In fact, Mr..
Conn was urged to become a candi-
date for this office two years ago. At
that time he would not consider the
proposition. Now his friends hope
to be able to induce him to make
the race"

BOX WINNER TO BE
 ANNOUNCED FEB. {
John w. Davis To Present '$5O,-
 GOO Of Award

NEW YORK. Jan. 20.-On the night of February 4 the world will know the winner of the Box peace award.
 The author of plan No. 1469, of the award created by Edward w. Box, will be announced on that date at meet ing to be held under the auspices of the Philadelphia forum and the police com mittee of tlie American peace award according to a statement Sunday night.
 At the same time the $50,000 prize will be presented to the author by John W. Davis, ambassador to Great Britain and member of the policy committee.
 Withholding of the name, it was pointed out, was for the purpose of per hitting the present "referendum" to be conducted solely on the merits of the plan.
 The referendum will not be over by the time the winner of the award is announced, but the policy committee believes that by then most of the voting will have been done.
 The second half of the award, $50, ,000, is payable If and when the plan passes the Senate, or if and when the jury of award decides that an adequate de- gree of popular support has been dem onstrated for it."
 At the Philadelphia meeting a report of the voting up to that time will be made. The report of the early voting for the five days immediately follow ing the publication of the plan, showed 11% per cent against and SSA per cent for it." the statement pointed out.
 The referendum is not expected to be completed before the middle of Feb ruary..

J. c. Maxwell Says He Feels
 Like Part Of Paper

Reading the Age-Herald since 1887 has made J. c. Maxwell, now of Bir- mingham, but formerly of Alexander City, Ala, feel like part of the paper," he said Saturday on visit to the new plant of the newspaper.
 Mir. Maxwell has not missed a copy of The Age Herald inN37 years, and al. ways has had it sent him when away from home, he said. Many of it's for mer editors and writers were "side kicks" of the veteran business man, he declared.
 Shown the giant presses in the base ment of The Age-Heraid building and the long line of linotype machines in the composing room, Mfr. Maxwell, after looking at them iIitently for sev- eral moments, declared that it was too much. T can't take all that in $ it's just blur," he said.
 Mir. Maxwell founded the Avondale mills in Alexander City, now owned by the Conner interests, and is president of the Alexander City bank. He has been prominently connected with business and politics in the state for half cen tury.
 On his trip to the press room of the plant Mir. Maxwell was told that the press running was capable of turning out 96,000 copies of The Age-Herald in an hour. He appeared to ponder over the matter a few minutes, and finally said: Well, I just hope you have to keep it running for 12 hours to supply your readers l'

OIL LEASES MAY
 BE CANCELLED
Democrats To Make Drive To Recover Naval Reserve
 Lands

WASHINGTON, Jan. 20.-While rumors of further impending develop ments in the Teaport Dome oil scandal grow stronger, democrats in both House and Senate are preparing for a drive to force. cancellation of the Wyoming and California naval reserve land leases made early Tn the Harding administration through Albert B. Fall, then secretary of the interior.
 At the same time, the democratic na- tiona1 committee has issued an ex- haustiye analysis of the two deals, de- claring Falls policies to be "the prac- tically complete destruction of the petroleum resources of the navy"
 A double -barreled attempt will be in Congress beginning Monday to break these leases. In the Senate, Caraway of Arkansas will lead the fight, and in the House, Garrett of Tennessee, minority leader, will be in charge. Democrats claim enough progressive republican votes to force through a joint resolution cancelling the leases.
 Meanwhile, further efforts will be made to force Fall to disclose where he obtained the mysterious $100,OO0 with which he purchased ranch in New Mexico soon after completing the Teapot Dome lease to Harry F. Sin clair. He has abandoned his first story to the effect that he obtained the cash from E. B. Mclean, Washington pub fisher.
 There are ugly rumors that other prominent names will be brought into the affair if this inquiry is pressed. There is strong pressure from some members of the Senate to block furth- CT efforts to compel Fall to tell the whole story. Some new facts may be brought to light Monday when Senator Caraway discusses the scandal on the Senate floor.
 In addition of the Teapot Dome deal, democratic investigators are turning their attention to similar lease of naval reserve No. in Califor- mia to the Doheny interests. This transaction, which escaped publicity. involved 37,000 acres with an esti- mated oil deposit of 250,000,000 bar rels. Doheny later stated that he ex- pected to make $100,000,000 profit out of the Deal. Incidentally, Fall, after leaving the cabinet, acted as advisor to the Doheny interests.
 Senators favoring cancellation be lieve it would be upheld by the courts in view of the methods by which the leases were issued, in one instance without advertised bids. There is some question as to whether Fall had any legal right to lease naval reserves.

MINE WORKERS TO
 MEET JANUARY g
Faced By Problems Of Internal
 Organization

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Jan. 20.-- Confronted with fewer perplexing problems of internal organization than any assembly in previous years, the sixth biennial convention of the United Mine Workers of America will con- vene here January 9. Strong feeling between leaders within the ranks which has led to turbulent scenes at past conventions now seems to have been allayed and union officers express the opinion that the coming meeting will be confined largely to important ques-, tions of policy.
 Formulation of wage scale for the miners of the bituminous fields is un- doubtedly of foremost importance. The present contract with the operators ex- pires March 31 next. The miners of the anthracite fields are working under an agreement which does not expire until August 31, 1925.
 Drafting of wage agreement for the bituminous field will be undertaken by committee to be appointed by Presi- dent John l.. Lewis soon after the opening of the convention. Submis- sion of this committees report, it is anticipated, will provoke the usual dis cussions and will bring forth, it is said, Il dluOHS Iut ueleSdleS IDF corporation of a section calling for a six-hour day.
 The convention will assemble with out a set program other than the usual order of business. including the ap- pointment of committees, the reception of officers reports and of committes reports and speech by James !. Davis, secretary of labor.
 President Lewis. as is customary, in his report, IS expected to review the settlements of the various strikes that have been conducted by the miners, of which the most important was hte gen. eral strike of 1922 in the bituminous fields. The 1923 anthracite strike and its settlement will probably be dealt with by Phillip Murray, vice president, in his report
 Past conventions have brought some bitter exchanges between President Lewis and Frank Harrington, president of the Illinois miners.
 No serious efforts are anticipated in behalf of Alexander Howat. the tur- bulent leader of the Kansas miners, who was expelled by President Lewis.
