Los Angeles, Aug. l8.-While po-
lice today searched the city for pew
evidence supporting the two con-
fessions they allege Kid Mccoy has
already made to the Staying Of Mrs
Theresa Mors, in the Mccoy Mors
apartment here, early last Wednes-
day, alienists under orders from the
District Attorney, were preparing to
conclude an examination of the for
mer prize fighter, designed to fore
stall any connection by his attor-
neys that he was and is. incapable of
making any true confession.
The alleged confession was reveal
ed yesterday when the District At
torney's investigators announced
they have the name of Hollywood
friend of Mccoy who met the ex
pugilist less than a half an hour
after the shooting of Mrs. Mors and
then heard what he then thought
was wild, drunken yarn Of wo-
man slain and a half dozen other
persons yet to be slain.
Detectives early today we're try
ing to serve a subpoena on this wit
ness, commanding him to appear be-
fore the grand jury tomorrow. Until
they find him it was announced his
name will be withheld.
Meanwhile the district attorney
was prepared to go before the grand
jury with McCoy's alleged confession
to his sister, Mrs. Jennie Thomas,
his own admission that he was in
the apartment when Il bullet killed
Mrs. Mors and the testimony OF
friends of the woman who said she
feared Mccoy would kill her if she
quit him.
Since the day of his arrest on
suspicion of murder when he told
police Mrs. Mors shot herself in his
presence and his wounding of three
persons in shopping district
shooting late: vas the result of
grief over her death, the one-time
Beau Brummel of the prize ring has
sat sullenly in his cell, observing
the advice of mis- attorney not 70

START PAVING
WORK SOON

Work of paving the gravel road
between the Missouri River bridge
and the Northern Pacific under
pass this side of Mandan will be
started soon by the Northern Con-
structicn Company of Grand Forks,
under present plans. The company
has crew building supply houses
for the paving job.
It is estimated by w. G. Black,
state engineer, that it will require
about 80 days to complete the act
ual paving after the work is start
ed. During the time the road is
blocked off, the old road through
the woods used when the ferry
conveyed passengers across the
river, will be used.
The Woodrich Construction Com
pany, which has been paving an
extension of Mandan's Main street
through the underpass, has COM
pleted it's work, and the road will
be opened when the concrete has
set.

North Dakota this year, Mr..
Quamme said, has the "happy combin-
alton of good crops and good prices
for hogs, cattle, sheep, wool and all
agricultural products. There is suf-
ficent feed produced to last the
state for two years at least, so much
feed that all of it cannot be cut, he
said.
The corn situation Is not good, in
the opinion of Mr.. Quamme, but it is
not such that the state need worry
very badly in an area extending from
five miles west of Valley City to 20
miles west Of Jamestown, in the Jim
River Valley, he said. How far north
and south in the valley this extend
ed he is not certain, but does not be-
lieve the killing frost went north Of
Stutsman county. He also expressed
some alarm over the condition Of
flax in the same territory, though
flax, generally, was in excellent con-
dition, he said.
Sees Price Gains
The statistical position Of all
grains is such that present prices
ought to hold, and perhaps increase,
he said. North Dakota he found ex-
tremely fortunate in having fine
crops when the world crop conditions
are so poor that prices are forced to
high level. The shortage of corn,
he said, will force the use Of much
oats and barley for feed. and this
ought to keep up the demand and
price for them. he said. There is,
he said. tremendous world shortage
of corn: although the flax crop this
year is large the United States is not
raising enough to meet the domestic
demand; bad crops in many large
producing areas of the world have
forced wheat prices up.
1--WE expect present prices not only
to be maintained but expect them to
60 higher" he said. "There are fun
damental reasons for increases"
Lessons Of Year
Two lessons may be drawn from
this years experience, Mr.. Quamme
asserted-good farming pays and di-
versified farming is the states saliva
tion.
1.-The value of diversified farming
has never been so clearly demonstrat-
ed as this year, in North Dakota" J."
said Mr.. Quamme. "Diversification
means rotation Of crops, fall plow-
ing, summer following, cleans up the
land. If something had happened to
the North Dakota wheat crop this
year it would not have Knocked US
flat-we had diversified products to
depend upon. The lesson of good
farming ought not to be forgotten.
Everywhere l have gone have found
that where grain was put in right,
where good farming was practiced,
the farmer will profit"
From the standpoint of the Federal
Land Bank Mr.. Quamme is very OPP
timistic. In spite of difficulties of
the last few years, North Dakota bor-
rowers from the bank have kept up
their payments in remarkably graf
flying fashion, since the bank began
to do business eight years ago, he
said.

Linton, Aug. 1S.-Robber bands
plundered in Emmons county Sun
day night, stealing $4,000 worth of
silks and other goods in The Lin
ton Leaders store. blowing safe
at Hague and committing other
depredations. 1t was robbery on
a wholesale scale.
The operations included:
Theft at the Linton Leader
store, owned by GOttlieb Bech-
tie, of all the bolts of silk, all
ladies' silk hose, all mems silk
hose, about IL suits of clothes,
many overcoats, all high-priced
mems shoes.
Blowing of safe in garage at
Hague, theft of about SIS.
Entering another store at
Hague, where suit was stolen.
Theft of gasoline at Stand
ard Oil statiOnsSat Linton and
HazeltOn.
Word had been broadcast but no
trace of the robbers found at noon
todays according to States Attor-
ney Charles Coventry. Different
bands are believed involved.
The Linton Leader store was
entered by breaking a panel in a
rear door and slipping the bolt
which held the door fast. The loot
evidently was placed in an auto
mobile. Nc one heard the robbers
and the robbery was not discovered
until the store was opened this
morning, according to Mr.. Coven-
try.
No one has been found who heard
the blowing of the safe in the
Hague Motor Company's garage at
Hague, according to Mr.. Coventry.
But about SIS was obtained. Auto
mobile men there, who saw tracks
made by tires. said one of the tires
was a Goodyear cord and the other
three cords of a different make.
Another store was entered in
Hague, the states attorney said, but
the safe was open, and the only
thing said to have been stolen was
a suit of clothes.
Robbers also stole gasoline at the
oil distributing points at Hazelton
and Linton, but how much was
taken is not certain.
This is not the first robbery of
this kind" said Mr.. Coventry.
"Silks have been stolen at a dozen
stores in this section in the last
year or so. Pollock was cleaned up
twice, and Hague, Wishek, Brad
dock and HaZelton stores have
been entered in the last year or so.
1T seems to me that the state
ought to be able to- trace the dis
position of these silks. They sure
ly are sold some place by the rob-
bers."

mission which Clarence F. Darrow,

"Do they affect it."
eff they are part Of it, they must

"Why not say so in the first
place? 2"
"Well, l thought my answer more
complete than your question"
The exchange was typical of a
spirited contest at wits between the
attorney and witness which at
times caused spectators to litter
as the two banded words. Such
terms as "egocentric," "psycho-
pathlc personality ana pathOlOgl-
cal' struck some of the court fans
as ccmical and ba1liffs had to warn
such persons several times to main
tain composer. The cross-examin-
alton was directed toward an at
tempt to get from the state alien
list that physical characteristics
found were signs of approach
ing insanity or at least mental di-
sease. The doctor SHE'D away
from mention of the latter but
readily discussed the former when
presented to him in an academic
sense. Phantasies and halluci-
nations were given by DR.. Singer
as "signs CT insanity" but he quail
fled it by adding sometimes"
He once acknowledged that
Loeb's habits of imagining himself
"a master criminal" was "in a
sense" an hallucination.

SLIGHT MACDONALD

London, Aug. 1s.-The results OF
the London conference are criticized
favorably by most of the London
morning newspapers as the begin
ming of the process Of restoring or
der in Europe. AS the Westminster
Gazette puts it IAN ugly corner has
been turned with perhaps sufficient
impetus and a sufficient margin OF
safety to carry European countries
safely through the years OF read
justment."
With the exception Of the Labor
Party organ, The Herald, the papers
withhold from Ramsay Macdonald
personal credit for the successful
outcome but it is generally acknowl-
edged that his position and that OF
his party has been greatly strength
ened.
There is a tone of great optimism
for the future expressed by the IN
terest shown by the United States
in the London meeting and because
of the certainty of Americas direct
sympathy in the successful carrying
out of the Dawes plan.
The only disquieting note is sound
ed by the Daily Mail which, under
the heading "No More Surrenders
expressed skepticism as to the ad'
visibility of the allies pledg'ng a
loan to Germany. 1t asserts tha'
the Germans, who are said to have
hordes of money outside Germany
should be called upon to provide the
funds for the loan.
