event has. a real significance. We
Americans of Morse ancestry are
proud and thankful that our fore
fathers chose to settle in the United
States, We are proud of the con-
tribution the Morse people have
made in the development of this
country. We are proud that those
first Morse settlers brought with
them to this country independence of
thought, high ideals, and true cul-
ture.
..It is fitting that this Tooth an
niversary should be celebrated. 1t
is an event that will serve as link
to bring the people of the United
States and the people Of the old
country into closer relationship, and
assist to develop the spirit Of COM
mon understanding between the
democratic nations Of the world"

Minneapolis, May 8.-Candy sent
to Edwin H. Chapman, Minneapolis
insurance claim adjustor, five days
ahead of an internal machine which
exploded in his hands when un-
wrapped, today killed two mice with
in an hour after they had eaten it..
One mouse died 20 minutes after
partaking of small piece of the
candy. A second mouse died shortly
afterwards after several minutes Of
violent convulsions. Physicians and
university experts today declared
that actions of the animals before
their death indicated poisoning.
Other pieces of candy received by
Mr.. Chapman and which were left
untouched in his office until taken
to the police after the explosion, to-
day were put in solution form for
analysis.
A second box of candy addressed
in the same feminine backhand
writing was sent to r. A. Johnson,
associate of Mr.. Chapman in the set
tlement of claims but was burned
before the explosion Of the bomb ex-
cited suspicion.
Police continued their hunt for
the sender today, working on the
theory that the candy was first sent
by woman, and that when this
failed to accomplish its purpose, a
man sent the bomb to Chapman's Of
flee.

TWO WOMEN'S
LEGS FOUND
Limbs Taken From Ditch at
Roadside Near Canyon
(By The Associated Press)

(By The Associated Press)
Canyon, Mimi, May S-Working
On the theory that they were brought
here by automobile and tossed as
the machine speeded by to the spot
where they were found. Coroner G..
F. McComb Of st. Louis County is
trying to connect the disappearance
of some person at a distance with
the discovery Of two women's legs
here yesterday afternoon. That the
legs, found back of dirt taken from
a ditch beside the Miller trunk road
near here by Mr.. and Mrs. Cha-les
Harris, Canyon residents, were tho
of a tall woman, Coroner McComA
said seems likely. While badly de-
composed there is reason to believe
that they had not been there more
than month or two.
Bert Duff and L. E. Gronseth,
sheriff's deputies, came here from
Duluth and thoroughly searched the
vicinity in an endeavor to find other
parts Of the body, but without sue
cess. Examinations showed that the
bones had been partly crushed, then
sawed or hacked and apparently
broken off, leaving rough edge.
Both were severed about the knee,
one slightly above and the other at
the cap.
With the possibility that some of
the recent murders in Chicago in
which the bodies were dismembered
may figure in the Canyon discovery,
Coroner McComb said today that he
will seek information from there as
we'll as other cities in the northwest
and middle west,

People of Bismarck are respond
ing literally to the American Legion

ened here yesterday and will con-
tinue over Saturday, according to

RUM PRICES
GIVEN BOOST

Great Thirst Ashore and at
Sea Developed from u. S.
Drive on Booze
SUPPLY DIMINISHING
Many Liquor Ships Leave
Row Headed for Home
Ports ih Other Lands
(By The Associated Press)

(By Ihe Associated PreSS)
New York. May s.-A great thirst
ashore and at sea seems to have de-
veloped from Uncle Sans blockade
of rum row off the north and mid
Atlantic coast.
On land the supply of liquor is
rapidly diminishing, newspaper in
vestigators say. and prices are go
ing up. Meanwhile some of the rum
fleet are presumed to have given up
the campaign of attrition and head
ed for home ports in other lands
either hopefully to replenish their
supplies of food and water or to
conclude that the dry navy is too
strong for them.
Any retreat that ma have taken
place from rum row 81 far, however,
has not yet been substantial so far
as is indicated by meager reports
from the scene of the passive war
fare from twenty to forty miles off
shore.
In fact four new craft, including
large German steamship have ar
rived on the row. But the new arri-
walls had not known of the blockade.
Like the vendors already on the row,
they were promptly pocketed by units
of the dry navy, which has two small
boats watching every rum seller and
big cutters in the oifing acting as
mother ship.
Estimates of the runs fleet
strength varied from Is to 80. Cap
tain w. V. E. Jacobs, New York
commandant Of the coast guard, re-
fused to discuss this phase of the
subject, as we'll as most others. The
policy of campaign secrecy, suggest
i've for war measures, which was in
augurated with the opening of the
offensive Tuesday still prevails.
Captain Jacobs denied, however,
that any seaplanes had been added to
the coast guards boat forces, but
was unable, he said, to explain the
presence Of a number of government
filters over the blockade zone at var
ious times yesterday.
Captain Jacobs said he was elated
at the result Of the blockade. No
captures have been made, he explain
ed, because there. has been nothing
to capture.

MRS. SHEPHERD
GIVES BAIL IN
POISON CASES
Released on Two Charges
Of Being Accessory
To Murders
(Ry The Associated PreSS)


Chicago, May 8.-Mrs. Julie Shep-
herd, co-guardian and foster mother
of William Nelson McClintock, mil
lionaire orphan, held on two charges
of being an accessory to murder in
connection with the death of her
ward and his mother, Mrs. Emma
Nelson McClintock last night furnish
ed the $4,000 bonds stipulated for
her release pending presentation of
the case to the grand jury.
William D. Shepherd, her husband,
end young McClintock's principal
heir under the terms of his will, has
been indicted for McClintock's mur-
der and has been recommended held
to the grand jury for murder in con-
nection with Mrs. McClintock's
death.
When Mrs. Shepherd appeared in
court Wednesday, the case was con-
tinued until Friday morning and She
was released on her own recogniz-
ance with the agreement that she
would furnish $4,000 bond at that
time. Late yesterday, however, ar
rangements for the bond were COM
pleted and Mrs. Shepherd appeared
before Jacob Hopkins. chief justice
of the criminal court, while Mrs.
Claudine NJ. Peterson, a friend Of
the McClintock's, scheduled $4,000
in real estate on the $4,000 bond.
Mrs. Shepherd made short state
ment as she left the courtroom. ap-
parently referring to Judge Harry
Olson, chief justice of the municipal
court and instigator of the investi-
cation into the McClintock's deaths.
"I'm going to believe that the
mans mind is gone," she said. "It
has become mania, an obsession
with him. He's got what you might
fittingly call shepherditis."
The only other development of
the day in the case was the report
by Miss Gladys Roberts, operative
of detective agency, that she had
been assaulted and beaten by two
men who accosted her on the street
last night.

COLD WEATHER
HALTS.GR0WTH
OF GRAIN CROP
Few Reports CT Damage From
Frost Received Here;
Weeds Killed Off

The small grain crops of North
Dakota have not shown much pro-
gress during the past week, accord
ing to reports received here today.
The weather has been cold with
frosts and freezing temperatures
nearly every night, except in a few
localities. While the color Of some
grain has been slightly affected,
there are few reports of any actual
damage. The. frosts have done some
good by killing weeds which had a
good start in places.
There have been good rains at
number of points where they were
needed.
The spring wheat crop generally
shows a very satisfactory condition
and is now from to 5 inches high.
At some places the acreage shows a
decided increase, while at others it
is not as great as last year. Now
that wheat seeding is completed, we
will soon be able to obtain estimates
on the total acreage in the four
Northwest States.
The rye crop is not as good as
early reports indicated. There is q
considerable amount winter-killed in
local districts. Some of this has
been plowed up and will be reseeded
to other grains. In other places rye
shows a fairly good stand and color.
While the conditions are satisfac-
tory, there is little to report on bar
ley and oats at the present time, as
these crops are just showing above
ground.
In few places some early flax,
had been sown and the heavy frosts
undoubtedly have damaged it to some
extent. This is very small per-
centage of the total acreage, as the
major portion of flax is not seeded
until the danger of frosts is past.
AS previously reported, there is con-
siderable new breaking and indica-
tions point to an increase in flax
acreage where the soil is suited for
it.
Some corn planting has been done,
but it has been retarded on account
Of the cold weather.
The general condition of the small
grain crops is extremely good up to
the present time. In order to maintain
the fine start. due to an exceptional
ly early spring, warm growing wea-
ther is now essential.

record today as favoring strict in
terdiction of the use Of poison gas
in war, d. Matsuda, Japanese dele
gate to the League of Nations in
ternatonal conference for the con-
troll in traffic in arms and ammun-

speech ardently supporting the pro-
posal made yesterday by Rep. Theo-
dore Burton of Ohio, head of the
American delegation that all export
of poison gas for use in war be
prohibited.
The American proposal was the
first to two sub-committees, military
and judicial. The Polish amendment
condemning the use of disease bac-
terra in warfare was referred to the
same committees. Mr.. Matsuda said
that Japan already is a party to the
poison gas agreement made during
the Washington arms conference and
declared that in prohibiting the ex-
portation of poison gas for war pur-
poses it should also be understood
that such methods of warfare are
forbidden by international law.
The Turkish delegation heartily
supported ,the American proposal.
"We are confused" was the COM

proposal that warships. be omitted
