NEW POLICE
COLLEGE TO
TRAIN MEN
Recruits From All Cities
Received al New York
Institution

New York, May IA piece of de-
tective work appropriately under
lies the newly established Police
Academy which Commissioner En-
right has dedicated as the future
West Point Of the nations bluecoats.
Last year police headquarters was
agog over the mysterious and pro-
longed absence abroad Of Inspector
John ]. Noonan, now the academy's
first commandant. He had slipped
away with no one knowing it, and the
question was: Who was he after?
The question was never answered,
for it developed that the inspectors
secret mission was merely to do some
quiet and correspondingly freer
sleuthing the police the world over.
in order to make the present Police
Academy the sum Of the latest inter-
national ideas in police training.
Inspector Noonan, it has been ex-
planned, was sent overseas by Com
missioner Enright with credentials to
Scotland Yard and the police chiefs
Of Paris, Vienna, Berlin, Rome and
other capitals. He was ordered to
keep lips sealed and eyes and ears
open, and saturate himself with the
best of training facilities and me-
thods to the end that the "West
Point" dream might be realized.
Commissioner Enright announces
that the academy will be open not
only to New York police and police
recruits, but also to those from other
cities. A limited number will be &C.
copied from outside New York who
will be trained to serve as instructors
at home.
The academy will have special de-
partments devoted to training men
as police clerks to do the highly spe-
cialized police paper work; to pre-
pare traffic experts to meet the
growing complexity Of motor. trans
portation problems; to teaching the
art Of fingerprinting, Bertillon mea-
surements and other phases of GRIM
inal Identification, and.to the special
training Of officers and instructors.
The academy also will contain the
first training department for police
women anywhere in the world. 1t
will retain and enlarge the existing
training schools here for recruits,
detectives and mounted men.
The academy opened recently with
an initial enrolment Of $50. The
course is for three months.

AGREEMENT ON
DEBT FUNDING
IS EXPECTED
President Believes Neg0ti-
atoms Now Pending Will
Bring Results
IN DEFINITE STAGE
America Denies Actual Re-
quest Has Been Made;
Parleys Continue

Washington, d. c., May 12.-Pre-
sident Coolidge was quoted today as
saying that the Negotiations now
pending between Paris and Washing
ton will lead to some definite plan
for the funding Of the French debt.
1t was added that it is too early to
make definite statements about the
situation but the situation has en-
tered the negotiation stage" White
House officials would make no de-
finite statements on the statements
of Prime Minister Cailleaux that the
negotiations have entered definite
stage. The American viewpoint on
this subject will probably not be
formed until more definite news on
the situation has been given out.
A guarded admission at the state
department that the informal con-
versations were in progress, coupled
with q reiterated statement that the
Washington attitude against the di-
rect assignment of German repara-
ton payments under the Dawes plan
to liauidate war debts to this coun-
try had not been changed, was the
only authoritative information OBJ
tainable on the question. Behind this
reticence, however, lay the strong
impression that added pressure for a
settlement, by France had been ex-
erted recently in several informal
ways.
1t now appears that Paris officials
,,,bo ,ocfocrod with Tn dar pcretary
Win. ton OF the treasury during his
recent vacation trip to the French
capital. did not fail to, receive the
impression that the Washington gov
eminent was DESTROYS that French
: debt commission be sent here as
soon as possible to take up the ettle-
men. matter with the American COM
mission headed BY. Secretary. ~
No suggested basis of conversa-
tions, however, was included by the
American treasury official in his
various informal talks in Paris.
1t is said in diplomatic circles that
the discussion of the debt matter
has been in progress between Am
bassador Herrick and the French
foreign office at frequent intervals
over q period of many months. II
there have been any similar CONVEX
sations here recently between Am
bassador Raeschner and Secretary
Kellogg as indicated in dispatches
from Paris, care is being taken on
both sides to see that the fact does
not bee one public.

MANY WORKERS
NOW in STATE
OFFICIAL SAYS
Plenty of Labor Available
in North Dakota For
Every Demand
(By The Associated Press)


Minot, N. d., May l2.-Labor con-
d;tions in Northwest North Dakota
are very good. This was the tone
of an outline Of the situation made
for the Associated Press by Clyde
L. Nelson, special agent here of the
state department of agriculture and
labor, division of the state free en-
psoyment service.
Mr.. Nelson declared that the labor
situation in the Northwest North
Dakota "has shown such improve
ment in the last two weeks Of April
that it was possible to close the
state farm labor office here the first
of May without single uniN led or
der left"
Owing to the fact that the season
opened two weeks early in this Sec
ton Of the state, lit was almost
impossible to secure help for farm
ers at the beginning of the spring
work." Mr.. Nelson said. This acute
shortage existed up to the fifteenth
of April, when the peak of the de-
mand was passed, due to the num-
Der of men working into the state
from the east by that time.
Wages which have prevailed this
srring shave been somewhat high
I er" than the wages of the two pre-
vioIs years. The. average wage for
single man, according to the local
state labor agent, has been fifty dol
lars month and board. Married
men are getting from $50 to SIS per
month and house furnished.
Mr.. Nelson said:
Very little summer-fallowing will
be done in this district this year.
Farmers have had an ideal spring
! in which to seed crops. The weather
has been cool, there has been plenty
! Of moisture in the ground and work
has progressed rapidly from the
start. Practically all the wheat
seeding was completed by the first
Of May. This is ten days to two
weeks earlier than usual, which
means that land which would nor
mally be summer-fallowed will be
planted to some feed crop or flax.
"There will be more new buildings
CONSTRUCTED in this district, this
summer, than has been the case since
before the war. Quite number of
the farmers are building new barns
and a few new farm houses will be
built. Minot will see several new
business Blocks and apartment hous-
es constructed. Some building will
be done in the smaller towns
throughout the northwest.
There seems-to be plenty Of labor
available for every demand. Com
TmOn labor drifting to. the cities from
the farms will be used in. construc-
tions work, very little Of which has
gotten under way to date"
