COMPELLED TO
POSTPONE TRIP
Illness Forces Agriculture
Head to Delay Return
to Washington

Washington. July 15.-P)-Secre-
tary Jardine has postponed his plans
for an immediate return to Wash
ington for a rest. Although hhs
general health is not considered to
be impaired. the secretary has not
fully recovered from Indigestion
suffered during his recent six weeks
tour of the west.
For several years the secretary has
been victim of digestive dis
order and at times has been prac-
tically forced to live on a diet of
milk. The strain of travel and his
vigorous activities Of participating
in feats Of craftsmanship during
the trip taxed his strength. His
associates believe after rest he
will be able to resume duties.
The secretary expects to go to
Swampscott soon to discuss the ag-
ricultural situation with President
Coolidge, but he plans to go to
Washington before making this trip.

The scheduled hearing in injunction
proceedings brought by Morton coun-
ty against the state highway com
mission to restrain the highway body
from grading the st. Anthony cutoff
leading off the Mandan highway west
of the Missouri River was postponed

between Attorney General George +
Shafer and c. +. Kelsch, district at
torney Of Morton county.
The attorney general is represent
ing the highway commission in the
case.
Morton county court last week is,
sued temporary injunction against
the highway commission. Judge Bcr-
ry ordered the commission to show
cause why the St. Anthony cutoff
should be improved.
District Attorney Kelsch, appear
ing for Morton county, demanded an
injunction on grounds that:
U) Morton county alone has ex-
elusive jurisdiction over improvement
of Morton county highways in view
of the fact that the St. Anthony cut
off was never laid off as state
road.
(2) Morton county's share of the
state motor vehicle tax cannot he
used to improve the St. Anthony cut
off until the latter has been desig-
mated as a state highway.
The date of the next hearing will
be fixed at a conference between lit
igants. Hearing will probably be set
for next week.
Attorney General Shafer asked to
have the hearing deferred to give the
state time to prepare its case. Shafer
will confer with w. G.. Black, state
engineer, secretary Of the highway

ing the states case.

HOG PRICES
TO BE HIGH
ALL SUMMER

Washington. July 15.-LP)-Short
supplies of hogs for the next few
months point to continued price ad-
vances throughout the late summer,
the department Of agriculture de-
clared today in its June pig survey.
Hogs are just approaching the peak
of their price cycle, the report said.
During the next IL months" it
continued, market receipts will be
smaller than at any time since 1921
and with prices probably higher than
during the last IL months. Judging
from previous experience these high
prices plus larger supply of corn
this year probably will stimulate a
considerable expansion in hog pro-
duction in 1926 which will start the
price cycle swinging downward once
more.

Court Room. Dayton, Tenn. July
15-LR--Judge John r. Raulston to-
day denied the defense motion to

held the constitutionality of the Ten

Monday and the day was spent in ar

HAGEN MOTION
FOR RETRIAL

Grand Forks, N. D., July 15.-Judge
W. ]. Kneeshaw yesterday took un-

Burdick. attorney for H. ]. Hagen,
former president Of the Scandinavian
American bank Of Fargo, that Hagen
be granted new trial on the charge
Of accepting deposits when the bank
was insolvent upon which he was
convicted here in 1924.
The chief ground on which the
motion is based is the fact that the
official stenographic notes Of the
former trial have been lost and no
transcript can therefore be obtained
to present to the supreme court on
an appeal.
