LEAGUE HOLDS SESSION

Geneva. Sept. lS.--R> The ad-
dress yesterday before the disarma-
mcnt committee Of the assembly of
the League Of Nations by Sir Cecil
Hurst, Great Britain. in which he
declared that it would be better to
make haste slowly with regard to
technical preparations for y general
disarmament conference has had its
reaction upon the French delegates.
This reaction may be summed up
as follows:
I'VE wish to be prepared for gen
eral disarmament conference in all
ways, both inside and outside of the
League Of Nations, so that when the
psychological moment comes for
calling the conference we will be
ready.
"France's superior war council and
general staff already are prenared to
furnish a po.itiove disarmament pro
gram. 1t is up to the other nations
to do likewise"
This viewpoint was obtained from
the best qualified spokesm man Of the
French delegation.
Seek Settlement
Report has it that the council Of
the league hopes before the end of
the present sessions of the assembly
to evolve settlement of the dispute
between Turkey and Great Britain
over the Mosul ,cgion Of Mesopo-
tamia, where rich oil fields abound.
Another subject that is bothcring
the League arises from reports that
the Turks in the Goyan district Of
Mosul are coufiscating the property
Of Christians and driving them out
of the region at the point of the bay
Onet.
An appeal received by the League
from the harasscd people asks the
League in the name Of humanity if
it will permit IAN entire people to
be removed from the disputed area
before decision regarding its fu-
ture is announced
The appeal declared that Goyan
Christians were being slaughtered
by the Turks. but it contained no de-
tails in this respect.

BRITISH RED
Senator BOrah Protests kel'
lCgg'S Dictum; Plan
Mass Meeting

Washington. Sept. lS.~-(P) Pro
test and criticism Of its action in
denying admission to the United
States of Shapurji Saklatvala, COM
munist member of the British parlia-
ment. have brought no sign Of yield
ing at the state department.
Despite the contention Of Senator
Borah Of Idaho, chairman of the
senate foreign relations committee
and others that the utterances of
Saklatvala. who sought admission to
the country as delegate to the in
er-parliamentary union here next
month, gave no adequate grounds for
his exclusion. department officials
are satisfied that they do.
Not only are they not disposed to
reconsider Sak!atvala's case. but ii
has been made plain that the depart
ment will rigidly exclude hcnceforth
any individuals who publicly support
views favoring the overthrow Of gov
ernment by force.
In statement issued after the
department action canceling SAX
latvala's passport visa, Senator Bor-
ah quoted from 4 recent speech by
the communist member Of the house
Of commons. and declared:
81 think anyone who will read the
speech will come to the conclus ION
that Satklatvala's crime is that Of
discussing conditions in India"
The Civil Liberties Union in a
statement issued by its officials in
New York, after it had sent tele
gram of protest to the state depart
ment and had cabled an offer Of le-
gal assistant to Saklatvala if he
wished to test the state department. s
ruling in courts.
Saklatvala's response in London to
the departments action was that
while he had given UP any intention
Of coming to America at this time,
he would await the judgment of the
American people as to whether they
supported such action, which he "de-
clined to believe"
The Civil Liberties Union an
nounced that it would follow up it's
action in the matter by calling a
public meeting Of protest in New
York against the state department s
action when the British and other
delegates to the parliamentary
union arrive there next month.
The organization declared the ac-
tion follows, as a second case within
year, the "gagging" of Count
Michael karolyi as "reversal Of
American traditions of a century"

HOvers in Ofing

London. Sept. lS.-(P)-Every-
one is warned by the spirit
world through the medium Of
air, Arthur Conan Doyle, that u
great catastrophe hangs over the
world.
Sir Arthur says he has been
receiving messages from the
spirit world for the last three
years to this effect and that
lately they have become press
ing. He says the suffering and
destruction which will result are
to be- taken as u christening for
the evils Of today.
The nature Of the impending
catastrophe is So vague that Sir
Arthur is unable to specify il.
but he says the Christening will
last three years.
Sir Arthur says England will
escape from the catastrophe
more lightly than almost any
other nation. Why. he does not

RAIL RATE
VERDICT DUE
IN JANUARY
Frank NliIhOllan Returns
From Rate Hearings at
Chicago
PLAN HEARING HERE
Bismarck Session Would Ad.
judicate Ignite and
Grain Rates

Findings Of the interstate COM
merce commission hearing the appli-
cation of western carriers for five
per cent flat rate Increase will pro-
badly be published early in January,
1926, Frank Milhollan, chairman of
the North Dakota railroad commits
sion, announced today on his retuln
from Chicago.
Milhollan who attended the hear
ings which opened in Chicago earlier
in the month was appointed to sit
with Clyde B. Aitchison. chairman
of the commission, throughout the
hearings.
Hearings will be resumed in Chi
cago October &c, Milhollan stated.
Following the Chicago session, hear
ings will be held at Minneapolis, No
vember 9, Denver, November l6, San
Francisco. November %, Dallas, De-
cembcr |, and Kansas City, December
IA.
Close Case
The Kansas City hearing will close
the case.
THE contention of the carriers
throughout the course of the Chicago
hearings has been that freight rates
in states west of the Mississippi
River are low" Milhollan stated.
"This situation has developed be-
cause the carriers allege that the
condition of farmers in these regions
has improved faster than the condi-
ton of the railroads since the war;
he concluded.
In addition to these hearings on
the general rate case hearings prob
ably will be held in Bismarck during
October on four cases in which North
Dakota shippers are directly inter
ested, f. NJ. Hendricks, traffic sx-
pert for the railroad board, said.
These will include the Ignite coal
rate case in which North Dakota
mines are seeking reductions, the
case involving rates on fine coal
from the head Of the Great Lakes /;
general class and commodity rates
To North Dakota points and the APP
plication Of the carriers for an in
crease in grain rates which has been
suspended by the interstate COM
mcrca commission pending the hear
ing.
North Dakota persons interested
in the cases have agreed that the
cases should be heard at Bismarck,
Hendricks said.
Decisions in each Of the eases
probably will not be announced until
spring Hendricks said. This means
that there is little chance that lig-
mite rates will be increased this
winter, Hendricks said.

Considerable Corn in Western
Counties Seriously
Damaged

Grand Forks, Sept. 18.-Range con,
ditions in North Dakota declined
somewhat during the month of Au'
gust, although very moderate pre-
cipitation occurred during the month
in the western half of the state, the
report of the U. S. bureau of agri'
cultural economics, states.
Conditions have been such as to
"fire" considerable of the corn in
those western counties, although
since August lst the weather such
as pictured above has fastened the
deyelopment Of the corn crop, but
sh ortened both wild hay and winter
range.
The feed supply is large and there
is an abundant supply Of oats and
barley. A considerable surplus OF
feed was carried over from 1924
Stark county lambs are not ready fol-
shipment, but will be in anothe,
month October ~. A good many
eve lambs will be retained on farms
and ranches on account of the great
demand for sheep and the scarcity OF
breeding ewes.
In Slope county there have been
some cattle moved, in fact about
three -fourths of all to be moved
The hay and feed supply seems to
be sufficient. Mckenzie county:
shipments of best range cattle be.
gan about September 10th. No sheer
and lambs will be shipped until late
fall.
Western range and feed conditions
improved materially during August
due to rains in the southwest, west.
ern Kansas and Colorado, while in
the more northerly states, the Dako.
tas, Montana and Wyoming the oper
range and feed conditions suffered
a slight decline. Winter feed pros.
poets, however, are generally very
good.
