CROW
ARRIVES TO
HELP JAMES
A Pianist of Fame-Last
Nights Sermon Preached
to Capacity House.

A capacity house greeted Evangelist
James last night as he brought Il
powerful, stirring sermon on the sub
jtct: "Why | Believe Jesus Christ
to be the Son of God" He said: "NO
subject is of greater Importance than
the deity of Jesus Christ, for If He
is what He claimed to be. the man,
woman or child that rejects and de-
spises Him is guilty of Il most dia-
bolical sin, if, on the other hand, He
was not what He claimed to be, He
was the greatest imposter the world
has ever known and we who. worship
Him are idolators. Take the blood of
Christ and the divine, living Christ
out of the Bible and what is left Is
of no more value than an old almanac.
Jesus claimed preeXistence. Before
Abraham was, was !.
"In the wonderful passage John
3:l6, For God so loved the world that
he gave his only begotten son that
whosoever believeth on him should
not perish but have everlasting life
he refers to himself as the only be-
gotten SON. Again, He claims to be
the only way Of access TO God. NO
man cometh unto the Father but by
me- Now the question is, are these
statements true, Has He substantial
ed them %
Deity Is Proven
The speaker then proceeded to show
that Jesus Christ had proven HIS
deity by his perfect character. His
life was so blameless that the bitter
est enemies were compelled to admit
that he was the best man that ever
lived. He proved his deity also by
his miracles. While miracles are not
always proof Of divinity, for there
are fraudulent miracles, but those OF
Christ were genuine and bore the
stamp of divinity. The evangelist
painted graphic picture of some OF
the outstanding miracles of Christ
such as the turning of water into
wine at Cana. In this connection he
flayed the moonshiners who try to
excuse their diabolical and lawless
practices on the ground that Jesus
made wine He insisted that the
drink Christ made was refreshing
and health giving and did not send
people staggering about, bereft OF
reason and dcbauchcd.
"If you use nothing but water OF
| which to make your drink, l have nc
OBJ lection, but do not drag the name
OF the nOly CnflSL tnrOuSH lHc Hillc
to justify your ungodly. criminal and
devlish practices by which you are
poisoning and damning body and
soul" he said. Moreover Jesus sub
stantiatcd His claim by the influence
of His life upon the history Of the
world" he affirmed.
He closed with Il vivid portrayal OF
the victory of Christ over the grave
proving thereby his absolutc deity
and made a touching appeal to serve
and love this Christ.

son sang beautiful duet entitled 1T

Washburn Ignite
Company Appeals
to Supreme Court

Appeal to the supreme court from
the decision of the Burleigh county
district court was taken today by the
~Washburn Ignite Coal company in
connection with its suit to enjoin the
state board Of administration from
carrying out alleged illegal contracts
with competing coal companies. The
plaintiffs contention is that the
board had illegally awarded contracts
to the Republic, Knife River and
Lucky Strike coal companies despite
the alleged fact that the plaintiff sub
mitted lower bid.
The lower court held that it could
not interfere with the discretionary
powers of the state board. The board
contended that the awards were bas-
ed on the value of the coal as shown
by chemical tests and actual exper-
ience and that the coal from the
plaintiffs mine tested by the board
was less efficient than that from the
mines of competing companies.

the Broadway pavement between
Third and Fourth streets, which had
been blocked Off to prevent automo-

London. Nov. 2l.-(P) The British
empire is in mourning over the pass
ing of the beloved Dowagcr Queen
Alexandra. Flags flew at halfinast
in London today. and many buildings
were drapcd in black.
Death came to the Danish princess
late yesterday afternoon in Sandring-
ham palace, while her son. King
George, and Queen Mary and various
members of the royal household stood
with tear-bedimmed eyes at the bed

her favorite grandson, was delayed
by a heavy fog, as he Travelled from
London to Sandringham. and did not
reach the palace in time to bid his
grandmother farewell.

the widow of King Edward VII and
the mother of their present monarch

Social Plans Affected
All deaths i'm the royal family at
ciety and often influence public
events. A number of fixtures in
which members of the royal family
had announced their intention to par
ticipate in many banqucts and fcsti-
walls have been cancelled. A period of
mourning will be observed by those
connected with the court and by Il
large number of persons outside that
circle.
When Queen Victoria died many
people wore black for some weeks.
Dealers in women's wear in the West
end of London began last evening to
replace gay garments and millinery

Newspapers In Mourning
The newspapers today came out in
deep mourning for the Danish prin-
cess, who arrived in England in 1869
to become the bride Of the Prince OF
Wales.
An indication of the popular alfec-
ton existing for Alexandra is the
fact that the laborite organ, The Her

penings or prints an inch concerning
them when other newspapers print a
column, today devotes two columns
to the death Of Queen Mother Alex.

SETTLEMENT or COAL
STRIKE is DELAYED

New York, Nov. 2l.-P-
Peace seemed more remote in the
anthracite fields today because
of reports that the operators had
agreed to insist upon an arbitra-
tion clause in any agreement
that may be made with the Opcr-
ators. The United Mine Work
ers are firmly opposed to arbitra-
tion.
While nothing official has been
announced as to details of dis
cussion and decision at the AN
thracite operators conference
here Thursday, today's New
York Times says definite de-
cision was taken on the arbitra-
tion question.
TO an undisclosed spokesman
for the operators is credited the
general impression Of the mine
owners that the suspension must
continue some time longer before
the state of mind is reached from
which settlement can come.

The American Road company, de-

alleged excess road profits. that the
road company's permit to do business
in the state should be cancelled and
that it should pay the costs Of the

T. The 100000 the state will recover
is about two-thrds Of the total pro-

Attorney General Moody said that
he would not have brought the ac-

STATE MILL
SHOWS PROFIT
LAST & MONTHS
November and December Will
Show Profits. Past Expert
ence Indicates

Pleasure at the completeness of de-
tail shown by the report for the state
mi! land elevator filed with the state
industrial commi asion by X. {. Mel
son, has been expressed by John Gam
mons and other members Of that body.
F. Although the report is much bulklcr
than those which previously have
been issued from the mill it shows in
detail the results of business trans
acted during the month.
Included in the report Is Il profit
and loss statement by months for
1929. 1t shows that the net loss for
the first 10 months is $l62, l6".O6 de-
spite the fact that the mill made a
profit Of $26.O57. .SS in September and
$40. .lll.72 in October.
November and December also may
reasonably be expected to show a
profit. past experience with the mill
shows, John Gammons. secretary OF
the industrial commission. said, since
the last four months Of the year are
the most profitable for millers. The
reason. he explained, is that more
flour is bought during that time.
Reaches Peak in October.
The mill reached its peak Of pro-
duction for the year in October when
500 .G37 bushels of wheat were ground
to make SO.ISS barrels of flour, an
average Of 4.:,5 bushels of wheat pei
barrel The lowest point of produc-
ton came in April. the report shows
when only l3.OO3 barrels were pro,
duced. This was Immediately afte,
Gov. Sorlie had taken charge Of the
affairs Of the institution as the result
of action by the legislature in turning
the management Of the business ovcl
to him. With the reorganization OF
the mill completed. however, it is run
ming at capacity.
The average amount of wheat re
auired to make ii barrel of flour dur
ing the last 10 months has been -four
and one half bushels. the peak being
the 4.5j bushels shown for Octobe,
and the low point 4.44 bushels in July
Total flour production for the II
months period was l17.372 barrels ant
wheat ground totalled l.SS0.Oi6.
Since the mill and elevator were
placed in operation in October. l922
the report shows, they have accum
ulated a deficit Of $799. 9.433.06, al
average loss for the three-ycar perlot
Of $266.477.69 a year.
The October report contains sec
ton listing in detail the purchases o
wheat by the mill and comparative
inventory as shown by the Septcmbe
and October reports. Wheat now use'
bv the mill is bought on premium
basis, the premium being detcrmIne'
by the protein content OF the gram
The highest premium recorded is 8
