COMMITTEE LOOKS
INTO PUBLIC LAND
QUESTION OFWEST

The United States senate commit
tee appointed to investigate the adj
ministratiOn of public lands, ma
tional forests and national parks,
held it's first meeting last week in
Washington The investigation was
instigated by the prominence given
to the threatening disappearance of
the cattle industry from the west
ern parts of the country because of
the existing drouth on cattle
ranges, particularly those of Ari-
IONA.
A significant part of telegram
received from Washington by John
r. Towles of the federal land office
in Phoenix, conveying the news OF
the committees first meeting, is a
statement that the waving of graz
ing fees for the last half of 1925
may be obtained if the present
drouth continues. The fees for the
first half of the year have already
been waived The text of the mes
sage to Mr.. Towles follows:
Senate public lands committee
met today, organized and heard
Chief Forester Greeley and assist
ants as provided for by my resolu-
ton authorizing an investigation Of
the public domain, national forests
and national parks. Committee de-
cided to hold hearings here next
week. Then necessary investiga-
ton by committee experts is to be
carried on and hearings held
throughout the west this summer.
Purpose of the committee is to pro-
vide constructive legislation to re-
lieVe the west of bureaucratic OBJ
noxious control of our public do
main Committee specially inter
ested in the live stock situation of
the public domain, particularly the
grazing fee situation.
"Also special attention will be
given legislative program to re-
lieve present unsatisfactory condi-
ton prevailing among homestead
entrymen, mining laws and similar
questions Our committee hopes by
practical means to furnish cattle
men, entrymen and all users OF
public domain better facilities in
transacting business with the gov
eminent and to better protect their
rights. If drouth continues there is
no question but that authorization
can be secured for the remission OF
grazing fees for the last half Of
this year"

SURETY CASE
Is DECIDED
City of Dickinson Loses Ef-
fort to Recover

The supreme court, in a decision
announced today, held that the Bank
Of North Dakota act of 1919 requir-
ing public funds to be deposited in
the Bank Of North Dakota terminal
ed continuing surety bonds. The
city Of Dickinson failed to recover
from the Dakota National Bank and
several individuals who were sure
ties on bonds given to cover city
deposits in the Dakota National
Bank. The bank failed January 2,
1924, with $6,10s.O4 city money on
deposit. The high court affirmed
a decision of the district court in
the case.
The city alleged that it was pro-
tected by continuing bonds and the
defendant held that the bonds were
terminated by statutes.
"Section Z of chapter lat of the
session laws of 1919, which required
the deposit of public funds in the
Bank of North Dakota and prohibit
ed, under penalty, their deposit else.
where, had the effect of terminating
the liability of sureties on deposi-
tory bonds previously executed as
to any deposits subsequently made
contrary to it's provisions" the de-
cision, written by Justice Birdxell
said.

Had Expected

U. S. Dispute Over Occupa-
tiOnal Costs Is RELOCATED
To Third Place
BELGIUM PROBLEM UP

Paris, Jan. 9.-Prescnt expecta.
tions are that the present inter-al
lied conference will close by next
Wednesday, perhaps by Tuesday
and the delegations are so confident
of their ability to achieve this re.
suit that they already are making
preparations to leave Wednesday
night to submit the conclusions of
the conference to their respective
governments.
The Anglo-American negotiations
continue to make head way, many
questions of detail already being
settled. Of those remaining the
principal one is understood to be
whether extension of the time OF
the Wadsworth agreement for re.
payment of the American occupa-
tional army costs should be "a
years or for longer period. even
up to 40 years. 1t is hoped that
this and the other points will be set
tied by tonight.
Indeed, the Anglo American con
troversy over the right of the United
States to share in the Dawes plan
annuities, which was at first regard
ed as the principal obstacle, now is
placed as third in order Of difficult
ty among the questions on the pro-
gram.
First comes that of Belgiums per-
centage of receipts from Germany.
This is particularly delicate because
it raises the whole question of dis
posal of the Dawes plan proceeds.
Second comes the question of di-
viding the receipts from the Ruhr
occupation. This is Of such COM
plexity that it is possible that it
may be postponed as proper exami-
nation of the books will, it is be-
lieved, require months.
The American claims come third,
the cost of the occupation fourth,
recovery of amounts collected in
excess of claims fifth, the Belgium
war debt sixth and restitution of in
dustrial machinery and the like re-
moved from the occupied regions by
Germany, seventh.

COOLIDGE, NOW
OPPOSED, GETS
MORE FIGURES
Extended Report on Inquiry
Into the Situation Will
BE Made Soon
APPROVAL WITHHELD
That Navy Department Dis
agrees with Administration
on New Building
APPROVAL WITHHELD

Washington, Jan. 9.-Although for
the present the administration is
withholding approval of the Navy
modernization and building program
favored by Naval experts, a reassess-
ment of the whole situation may
follow completion of report now
being drafted by the Navy general
board.
An extended inquiry has been
made by the board into the relative
value of battleships, submarines ana
aircraft, and the results probably
will be in the hands of President
Coolidge before the end of next
week. Whether anything in the re-
port will outweigh the presidents
desire to avoid further extensive
naval expenditures is question.
Meantime naval committees of
Senate and House are virtually
marking time. The House commit
tee met again today but only to
consider questions of more or less
routine character.
While no definite information
from official sources has been avail
able in the general boards report,
there is no doubt in naval circles
that it will hold battleships the
main element of naval power, but
also lay great stress upon the aux
iliary value of aircraft, submarines
and modern cruisers.
1t is understood that by making
public summary of the report, the
administration is considering partial
removal of the seal of secrecy which
surrounded the recent tests with the
battleship Washington.
There have been intimations that
the Navy department wants funds
for modernization work amounting
in all to more than $2O,OOO,O0O and
that Naval opinion favors also the
laying down at once Of some, if not
all, Of the eight cruisers recently
authorized, but for which no appro-
priation have been made.

time. Two years ago law support
ed by Selfridge and objected to by
Ft. Yates passed the House but was
lost in the Senate. Two years ago
last fall vote on the removal of
the county seat was had, and with
Selfridge, Solen and Ft. Yates in
the race. Ft. Yates came out on top.
The 1917 law, which Selfridge
folks object to, provides that if a
county seat town is on a railroad
or interstate river, a county seat
removal election may not be held
oftener than once every four years.
Ft. Yates is on the broad and wind
ing Missouri, an interstate river,
and under the law the county seat
removal could not be voted on for
two years.

Lewis Above His Head and
Throws Him. From Wrest-

Also Lifts Lewis Three
Times Above His Head and

"Strangler" May be Seri-

Kansas City, Jan. 9.-(By the A.
Wayne (Big) Mum, erstwhile
University of Nebraska football play
er, who tried boxing but couldn't
stand up against the punches and
whose knowledge of the technique of
graphing is that of a novice, is the
new wearer of the worlds heavy
weight wrestling belt today.
Mum, by his prodigious bulk and
strength. last night threw off the
fearful headlocks of the veteran Ed
"Strangler" Lewis and crushed him
into submission
Lewis today is in local hospital,
suffering probable injuries to his
back, a new experience for the
stranger" who, in his long mat
career, has seriously hurt many op-
ponents with his famous deadlock.
A giant in stature and strength
Mum, despite his meager wrestling
strategy, clearly demonstrated his
power over the title holder, in the
opinion of authorities, although q
foul which resulted in protest by
Lewis manager, marred the victory
Throws Him Out
The climax came after two minutes S
of wrestling for the second fall when
Mum, twisting free from a deadlock,
lifted Lewis high in the air with a
body and crotch hold, apparently the
only weapon at his command, and
walking to the ropes hurled the
"Strangler" outside of the covered
floor of the platform.
Lewis 228 pound hit the boards
with thud and the title holder roll
ed down to the floor. Chaos ensued.
BILLY" Sandow, manager of Lewis,
lost his accustomed coolness and
sprang into the ring crying "foul."
The crowd stormed at the platform,
but large detail of police held back
the frenzied fans. Then Referee
Bates announced the fall was award
ed to Lewis on foul and gave Lewis
Is minutes in which to return to
the ring, announcing the match would
be awarded to the challenger if Lewis
dSd not appear. Sandow announced
Lewis would continue under protest.
Comes Back Weak
The allotted Is minutes passed
while physicians worked on Lewis
and some semblance of order was re-
stored. Lewis came to the ring band
aged.
The match was over a few seconds
after the men clinched. Lewis offer
ed little opposition. Mum clamped
body and crotch hold on Lewis and
hurled his man to the mat where
Lewis lay prone and new champion
had been crowned
Lewis was lifted high over the
head of the young giant during the
match and dashed to the floor.
The new champion, towering fig
ture, six feet, six inches tall, weighs
260 pounds. He played in the line of
the University Of Nebraska 1923 foot
ball team. He took up professional
wrestling only last spring and i'm
medately showed his prowess. He
met the third raters and then began
climbing upward. The clash with
Lewis was Munn's big match.
