WHEAT FALLS
IN TRADING
Slips Back on Reports of For.
eign Shipments

Chicago, Jan. 30.-Rcports of
greatly enlarged shipments of wheat
from Australia and Argentina led to
an early setback in wheat today.
Australia shipments were figured as
nearly double of those of the week
before. Heavy profit-takng sales
here resulted, and speculative offer.
ings also broadencd out, with buy
ers much less aggressive. The OPP
ening, which ranged from &c de-
cline to Il cent advance, May S2.03A
to $2.O4 and July Sl.7O1a to $1.7OA
was followed by general decline
in which May dropped to Scoops, but
later rallied.
In the last half of the day selling
pressure slackened and with some
what enlarged buying the market
rose to within asc of the best price
on the crop for May delivery. Prof
it-taking again appeared and re-
action ensued. The close was un-
settled at the same as yesterdays
finish to ! sc higher. The latter for
September. May closed at $2.03M to
&c and July $1.71%.

DISCUSS STATE
HAIL LA W IN
LOWER HOUSE
Measures Providing For Com
pulsory Fund Are Indefi-
nite1y Postponed

Compulsory state hail insurance, a
subject often commanding serious at
tention in the North Dakota legisla-
ture, got scant consideration this
afternoon when the House killed two
bills of Rep. A. c. Miller, Williston.
"the Communist member" The
House indefinitely postponed house
bills No. 81 and 80, which repealed
the withdrawal features Of the pres
ent hail insurance law and provided
that the indemnity tax should be
assessed against all tillable lands.
The insurance committee unanimous
ly voted to kill the bills.
eff this compulsory hail insurance
bill does not pass the state hail in
surance will soon be thing Of the
past" said Rep. Miller, speaking for
his proposal. He added that with
drawals are getting heavier each
year, and said that in, 1924 but 20
percent of the tillab1e 'Iand was
insured and II percent was with
drawn from the hail department.
"The gentleman's figures them
selves are evidence the people are
dissatisfied with the hail law" said
Rep. Peters. "This bill would make
everybody go into it.. call that
the most unjust thing that could be
proposed. Some people think mar
riage is good thing, but we don't
pass law requiring a young man
to marry his neighbours daughter
when he becomes 20 years of age"
Chairman Hoople, Nonpartisan, of
the Insurance committee, told the
house the committee was unanimous
against the bill.
+ "A lot of people are against COM
pulsory hail insurance" said Rep.
Miller. "They are mainly people
who own a lot Of land and are afraid
they'll have to pay tax for someone
else"
Rep. Hanson, Grand Forks county,
declared he voted for hail insurance
in 1917, but said that "after nursing
this child for eight years We find
the child is not really living-it is
just existing. Unless we take the
social features out of the hail in
surance law it will die"
The insurance committee is recon-
mending passage of the coming law
proposed by the state hail insurance
department.

Minneapolis, Jan. 30.-Buck O'COn-
nor, serving from one to 10 years in
Saltwater penitentiary for forging
the name of John Coins to several
checks, will be brought here late to-
day for questioning in connection
with the murder of Coins, whose

acquitted, leaving North Dakota with
Coins and another man but said
that the parties separated at little

NEW SECRETARY STATE
ONE OF POOREST MIXERS

ing which time he earned his board
and clothes by doing stable chores
and by working on nearby farms
during seeding time, young Kellogg
came up before a committee Of law
yers for examination for admission
to practice.
He was nervous and plainly rat
tied. He floundered about, unable
to express plainly even what he
knew.
One of the committee frankly staE
ted he didn't think Kellogg would
do.
A second member, c. M. Start,
later chief justice Of the Minnesota
courts, said he thought the young
man knew lot more law than he
was able to tell.
The third member was won over
to this viewpoint and the committee
finally decided to license him. He
got by, but it was "close squeak"
No man who gets into the law by
such self-denying labor ever forgets
his "first case" Kellogg never has
forgotten his.
The suit was over ownership of a
horse. Kellogg's client had posses
sion of the steed, ownership of which
was contested by the other party to
the action.
For his services, Kellogg was to
be paid Sc in cash, and was to re-
ccive transportation to and from the
county seat, Is miles away.
Kellogg rode with his client to
court, won his case and collected So
of his fee.
Then they started home. Three
miles out Of town the horse dropped
dead and the victorious young bar
rister had to walk the remaining II
miles home. The other SO Of his fee
are still among his accounts re-
ccivable."

SEC. WEEKS AND
HOOVER TO SIT
AT CONFERENCE

Washington, Jan. 30.-Secretaries,
Weeks and Hoover will sit with the
Muscle Shoals conference at the ses-
sion today, at the request of Presi-
dent Coolidge. Chairman Keyes of
the conference, declared that the
president would be closely consulted
before the conference report was
submitted to Congress.
The chairman declared that since
the bill authorizes the President to
draft lease on Muscle Shoals, and
to form governmental cooperation to
operate the property, if suitable
lease cannot be obtained, "it is ma
tural that we will attempt to frame
the bill according to his views"

BY HARRY b. HUNT
NEA Service Writer

Washington, Jan. 3O.-Whatever
knowledge Of law, domestic or in
ternational,. Frank B. Kellogg has, he
dug out for himself. T.,
Whatever capacity he may reveal
for diplomacy and statecraft, in the
position of secretary of state, to
which he has been appointed, will be
due to his own diligent struggle for
self-development.
Kellogg did not get his founda-
tion in law from the lectures of
any learned LII. d.
He had to work the whole thing
out for himself, except for such
crude suggestions as he received
from the old-school lawyer who
permitted him access to his library
in return for his services as chore-
boy and general helper.
This condition is no doubt re-
sponsible for the deeply serious bent
Of the new secretary-to-be.
Kellogg, as youth. was a "grind"
without the advantage Of college.
He had to do his grinding by him
self.
But while this developed reserves
of mental strength, vigor and re-
sourcefulness beyond what he might
have developed in college, it devel-
oped, also, an aloofness, reserve
amounting almost to shyness in per
sonal contacts.
Next to President Coolidge, Kcl-
logg is probably the poorest tinker"
in public life.
3 This extreme diffidence, amount
ing to actual timidity in his early
years, almost cost him admission to
the bar when he, first sought to test
his legal wings.

study in the law office Of H. A..
