There was ample opportunity to pro-
tect the field before the snow storm
The morning of the game nothing
had been done to the field although

Chicago, Nov. q (F) A review OF

The actual condition of affairs to-

are the topics Of scores of speakers
including public officials in congress
and in the prohibition enforcement
ranks, prominent businessmen anG
leaders in the unofficial dry army OF

At the opening session today, dis

protectors, Wayne B. Wheeler, gen.

in a radio speech prepared for de-
livery before the University Of Chi
cago. "Bootleggers and rum runners
are the criminal vermin of society
but the public officials who protect
them are worse" Mr.. Wheeler said.
Must Point Out Road
"The prohibition law is one of
these statutes which express the cen
tury-old experiences of the race. At
every crossroad of life where the is
sues are cleraiy defined. as in the
prohibition question, the church
needs to station its traffic officer

"The Christian church has made
prohibition possible although the sa-
loon made it inevitable. The same
forces which erected the sigrDoard
away from debauchery and toward
sober prosperity today are rousing
themselves for a new crusade against
the organized forces of evil. Public
opinion supports prohibition today
even more strongly than when it was
adopted"

DAKOTA BANKS
ASA WH0LEIN
SOUND SHAPE
Liquidation of Notes Is Slow
Farmers Holding Crops
For Price Upturn

North Dakota banks are generally
in sound condition, according to
4. Green, manager Of the Bank Of
North Dakota. Except in rare in
stances North Dakota bankers ar
conducting their business on SCUM
plirr'n 'nlnr and are cpnstHntiv
.trnn". hcninr their rosition. Green
said.
Liquidation of outstanding paper
is going on slowly. he said, because
of the apparent tendency Of farmers
to hold their grain off the market,
temporarily at least. In many cases
farmers are asking renewals of out
standing obligations because they
have not yet marketed this years
crop. Many farmers, he said, have
sold enough of their crop to meet
pressing obligations and are holding
the remainder for an upturn in prices
Collecting Assets
The revival of prosperity due to
good crop conditions might ordinarily
be expected to increase the value
Of the assets Of some of the defunct
banks under his control. l.. Il. Baird,
state receiver of banks, said. but
this is not always the case. The re-
ceiver and his aides have been busy
for weeks collecting the assets of
closed banks in anticipation az the
time when they can declare dividends
in each case.
In some instances, Baird said. a
good crop has enabled person; whose
notes were held by closed banks to
make payments on their obligations
but in most instances the makers Of
sucn worthless paper have icfI the
state and the notes are not collect
iblc.
! Indications are, he said. tina: . few
banks still are feeling the effects of
, the dull period several wears ago
; when many banks we're forced to
close. 1t is probable, he said, that
in some cases banks are only now
iwriting off losses which they hal
hopcd to collect.
/, Preliminary reviews by he state
bank department of the statements
| of North Dakota state banks as OF
October Is. shown by statements fol
lowing the recent bank call shows
: that few banks are liquidatins their
outstanding paper at the same rate as
in former years. This is believed to
be largely the result of the tcndency y
to extend the notes of farmers who
! have not yet put their grain on the
| market.

State Rests Case
in the Trial of
Former Klan Head

Noblesville, Ind. Nov 5.-LP)-A
defense motion asking Judge Will Nj.
Sparks to instruct the jury to return
verdict of not guilty in the murder
trial 70 ID. c. Stephenson, Earl Gentry,
and Earl klenck, was overruled by
the court today. The motion was
predicated on the ground that the
state had failed to make case.
The state rested it's case against
the former X. X. X. leader and his
bodyguards late yesterday. The de-
PENDANTS are charged with murder in
connection with the death of Madge
Oberholtzer of Indianapolis. She took
poison after an alleged abduction and
attack last March.
The defense waived an opening
statement and called as its first wit
ness DR.. Orville Smiley, a physician
and surgeon Of Indianapolis.
Eph lnman, chief defense counsel,
questioned DR.. Smiley to establish
his standing rs a physician and an
expert in the treatment of poison
cases. He established that poison of
the sort Miss Oberholtzer took is one
of the deadliest known and developed
facts about its use as a poison and
its effect.
The witness said he had treated
cases IN Wnlcn the polSOnS mad Sefl-
Gus effects when the subject took it
by other methods than by swallowing
it. He had known. he said, of such
cases resulting in death.
Testimony Differs
DR.. Smiley's testimony developed
sharp discrepancies with that of
state experts. He said that of his
patients only two in 20 recovered af-
ter taking such poisons as Miss Ober-
holtzer took. State experts had said
the per cent of fatalities was bat 53
per cent up to 1910, according to GER
tain medical authorities and that it
had failed materially since.
DR.. Smiley cited case in which
the patient lived Al days before dy-
ing of the poison. The state wit
nesses had said the longest record of
life after such poisoning was 25 days,
and that all patients living longer
recovered. This indicated, state ex-
perts had agreed, that Miss Oberholt-
zer's death occurring OH the 30th day
after she took poison was contribut-
ed to by another cause.
A person swallowing poison as Miss
Oberholtzer did and in the same
amount would die, the doctor declar-
| ed, if not treated for six hours. Tie
defense hypothesis, as put to DR..
Smiley, was that the poison was swa;-
lowed at 10 a. M. and she kept the
act secret until Friday afternoon.
