Ruling Handed Down
in Regent Bank Case

Banks which accept checks for
collection are responsible for failure
to collect their money if the check
is honored by the bank upon which
it was drawn, the supreme court
held in the case Of John Clancy vs..
First State Bank of Regent. appeal
ed by the bank from the Hettinger
county district court. The decision
affirmed one previously made by the
lower court.
Clancy, it was shown, deposited q
check with the defendant bank and
received credit for it. It was hon.
ored BY the bank upon which it was
drawn but the bank which acted as
agent for the Regent bank closed
with the check in its possession.
The Regent bank induced Clancy
to sign q note for the amount Of the
check in return for the credit which
had been extended to him but when
he found that the check had been
paid by the bank upon which he had
drawn it, he brought suit to cancel
the note and was sustained.

GOVERNOR TO
CALL SESSION
ABOUT DEC, 10
Attorney General Indicates
Special Elections Needed in
Two Districts

Indications are that the special
North Dakota legislative session
will be called to meet on or about
December 10, it was said today at
the governors office.
The executive had not received
today an answer from his query to
the attorney generals office asking
if special elections are necessary to
fill vacancies in the house member
ship caused by the death Of repre-
sentatives from the thirtieth dis
trict. Morton county, and the forty
third district, Renville county.
1t was indicated at the attorney
generals office, however, that the
governor will be advised this after
noon that special elections are
necessary in order that those dis
tricts may be represented at any
special session.
Plenty Of Time
The necessity Of holding special
elections will delay the session
somewhat, the governor said, but
will make no material change in his
plans since opening of the session
by December 10 would give the leg
islature plenty of time to consider
all Of the things he will present be-
fore Christmas.
If he issues the election call by
November l it probably would give
plenty Of time for the two districts
to elect representatives and have
them here for the opening of a spe-
cial session December 10, it was in
dicated at the attorney generals
office.
Representative G. +. Stretch, Bot
tineau, veteran Nonpartisan men,
ber Of the house, called on the gov
ernor this morning. He said he had
no comment regarding the proposed
spccial session.

MOTORS, STEEL
PILE UP HUGE
NET EARNINGS
G.M.C. Profits For 9 Months
Greater Than For Any Pre-
yiOuS Full Year

New York, Oct. 26.-P)-Invest-
ors in Americas two premier in
dustrial corporations today found
themselves legatees to profits ag-
gregating $250,000,000 rolled up in
the first nine months of 1927 by the
General Motors and the United
States Steel corporation.
AS usual, General Motors showed
the way to the steel corporation. its
nearest competitors in giant earn
ings. Motors had net earnings for
the first three quarters of the year
of $193, 758, 900, while Steels figure
was $74,050,0OO.
Motors nine months earnings,
abetteG by the absence from the
producing field Of Henry. Ford, who
is concentrating on the output of a
new model car, surpassed those of
any previous complete year. For
the third quarter alone, motors
earned $64 100000 as compared with
$50, 900, 900 in the corresponding pe-
riod Of 1926, which was q former
record third quarter. Comparisons
with the 1926 profits, however, are
complicated by the inclusion for the
year 1927 to date of earnings Of the
Fisher Body corporation, which did
not figure in all of last years re-
ports.
Motors profits were at the rate
Of $10.75 per sha- on the new $25
par common stock during the first
three quarters of the year.
Steeps earnings declined from
the corresponding period of last
year, but the statements showed
nine months net of $132, ,999, 900. and
$41,373,83l for the third quarter Of
1927. This is at rate Of $7.75 per
snare on the 7,116,235 shares of
common and compares with $145,-
100000 or $13.07 per share on s.
O83,025 shares outstanding in the
first three quarters of 1926.
For the third quarter Of this year,
steel's earnings dropped $11 800 900.

Elected, Locke Says

Minneapolis, Oct. 26.- (AP) -
presidential candidate who is wet
will not be elected, in the opinion
Of Charles Edward Locke Of the St
Paul area Of the Methodist Episco-
pal church.
He voiced this sentiment in an ad-
dress last night at the opening ses-
sion of the annual convention oi

There will never be a John

Republican, elected president OF
the United States if he is a wet,
Bishop Locke said.
There will never he an Alcohol

Bratiano Ministry Ready to
Arrest Leaders and Proclaim
State of Siege Throughout
Country If Opposition to
Government Devel0ps-Ma-
n0ilescu to BE COurt.mar.
tialed

Bucharest, Rumania, Oct. 26.-(R
AT the least sign Of opposition
against the government, the Bra
tiano ministry was ready today to
arrest the leaders and proclaim a
state Of siege throughout Rumania.
Troops were ordered to occupy all
government buildings, carrying out
the state e martial law proclaimed
throughout the country upon dis
covery of the plot to restore former
Crown Prince Carol to the throne
which he renounced in 1925 when
he eloped to Paris with Magda
Lupescu.
Much Excitement
The country is seething with ex-
element as the government and op-
position parties line up for what is
expected to be a bitter contest for
supremacy. Premier Bratiano to-
morrow will demand from all politi-
cal groups in parliament declara-
tion Of their attitude toward the
present situation. The opposition
leaders have summoned their men,
bers to appear in full strength. The
peoples party, of which M.
Manoilescu, whose arrest led to dis
covery Of the Carolist plot, is a
member, intends to interpolate the
government, considering his arrest
unjustified.
A proclamation addressed to the
Rumanian people at large by Prince
Carol was found in the possession
of Manoilescu, who was under secre-
tary of finance in the Averscu gov
ernment which the present regime
supplanted, the authorities said.
They also said they found an inter-
view with Carol intended for the
Rumanian newspapers and explain
ing his position.
lin a statement issued in Paris
last week, Prince Carol announced
that he would not return to Rumania
except under perfectly regular con-
ditions, adding "there are many
ways to call a sovereign when his
return is agreed upon-by vote of
parliament, by plebiscite and by
an understanding between the par
ties.')
Letters Are Found
Several letters from Carol were
found on Manoilescu and they were
believed to indicate that Carol de-
sired referendum of the people of
Rumania as to their wishes regard
ing his return.
The government declared that
Manoilescu had gone to Paris and
interviewed Carol and sympathized
with his aspirations.
Manoilescu, who is now in the mil
itary prison at Jilava, will be court
martialed within q few days. Gen.
eral Avercscu is expected to defend
his former cabinet minister and is
certain that the latter will be ac-
cused of high treason.
Princess Helen, whom Carol aban-
doned, has postponed her de-
parture for Florence, where
she intended to 60 for sew
cral months. This postponement was
made to avoid the appearance of
leaving the country on account of
the present crisis.
The boy king, who was celebrat-
ing his sixth birthday when the plot
was discovered. is at the summer
palace at Sinaia. Queen Marie is
with him.

Rio 1aneiro. Oct. 26.-F-The
luxurious Italian steamship, Prin-
cipessa Mafalda, carrying more than
thousand passengers, most of them
Italian enligrants to Brazil and
Argentina. sank last night off the
coast of Brazil with a death toll
believed number in the hundreds.
Rescue ships standing by all night
picked up at least 720 persons Of the
1908 stated to have been aboard
tine stricken vessel, while another
estimate placed the number saved
at 1000.
A Brazilian cruiser, the Rio
Grande do Sui, today was under or
ders to aid in rescue work, while
four steamers were at the scene.
three Of which were known to have
rescued hundreds of persons.
Advices to the ministry of mar
inc placed the scene Of the disaster
at Abrolhos, group of low rocky
islands about 40 miles off Caravel-
las, midway between Bahia and Rio
1aneiro.
May Have Struck ROCK
The presumption was that the ves-
eel struck q rock in dangerous re-
yion. A radio message from a res
cue ship, however, said that the
sinking was due to an explosion.
Four Ships Were Near
When the first frantic call for
help came from the sinking liner.
four ships which were within short
cruising distance hastened to her aid.
Many Of the Mafalda's passengers
took to life boats ana RATS while
others leaped overheard with life
preservers strapped about their
bodies.
So great was the need Of speed in
the rescue work that the four ships,
ON arriving on the scene of the dis
aster, found time to wireless only
the scanties- Of details concerning
sfe fate Of the passengers.
The French steamer Formose
saved 120 persons, the British steam
er Empire Star picked up 200, and
the German steamship Athena ac-
counted for 400. The British steam

SEN. CURTIS Of
KANSAS WILL
BE CANDIDATE
Republican Senate Leader Def
initely Enters 1928 Presi-
Dental Race
NOT A STALKING. HORSE
Consents to Run Only as a Se-
.riOus Contender For the
Nomination
NOT A STALKING. HORSE


Washington, Oct. 26.-R-Sena-
tor Charles Curtis of Kansas, Re-
publican leader Of the senate, today
entered the 1928 presidential race.
In letter to Roy l.. Bone of
Topeka, organizer Of the "Curtis for
President" club in Kansas, the SEN
ator wrote that IF my friends of
Kansas desire to send a delegation
to the next Republican national con-
vention favorable to my nomination,
l shall be greatly pleased to be their
candidate"
The Republican leader declared,
however, that II will not consent to
become a candidate if the delegation
is to be selected with the view of
voting for me for few ballots as
'favorite son."
"As I stated when the question
was first put to me, i will not allow
myself to be used as stalking
horse for anyone" Senator Curtis
added.
First to Enter Race
The kansan is one of the first
administration leaders to definitely
enter the presidential race since
President Coolidge made his an
nouncement last August that he did
not choose to run for president next
year.
Senator Curtis did not anplify his
declaration that he would not be a
stalking horse" for anyone, but it
was taken to mean that he did not
wish to have the Kansas delegation
for trading purposes in the conven-
tion and would consent to run only
as a serious contender for the nom-
ination.
Mr.. Curtis was chosen majority
leader of the senate three years ago
upon the death of Senator Lodge of
Massachusetts, and in that role he
has become one of the outstanding
Republicans.
Usually in Accord
AS a rule. Senator Curtis as a
party leader has been in accord with
President Coolidge and his policies,
but he did lit with the administra-
tion on the McNary-Haugen farm
relief bill, voting for this measure
which was vetoed by the president.
Senator Curtis, who is 81 years
old and descendant of Indian FORE
bears, was born in Topeka, Kansas,
and educated in that state. He
served as county prosecutor before
entering he house Of representatives
here in 1886.
