CROP FORECAST
DEFEN DED BY
WEATHER MEN
Bureau Officials Answer Those
Who Criticize August
II Review

Washington, Oct. 2O.-(AP)-An.
swering critics Of its special weather
review Of last August II. the wealth
er bureau, in its weekly weather and
crop bulletin, declared that the crop
season of 1927, up to October /,
when the composite condition is con-
sidered, has been "on par with, or
better than, many other recent sea-
sons," and that the weather has mot
been markedly harmful to general
crop production
Recalling that marked attention
had been drawn by the press to the
summer Of 1927, whose weather
characteristics were to be so adverse
to crops as to, at least, menace the
nations food supply" the bureau
issued a summary Of facts" which,
it said, "fully justified the state
ment" Of two months ago.
Excessive Rains Cited
Reviewing both favorable and un-
favorable weather conditions up to
October l, the bureau declared the
outstanding unfavorable features of
the early season comprised the ex-
ceSsive rains and severe floods in
the interior valleys, whose harmful
effects to the general agricultural
situation were most pronounced in
the consequent delay to spring plant
ing, and that damage was done to
fruit in some sections by FROST"
"As previously stated, however"
the bureau added, "thc latter was
due largely to the prematurely adj
vanced stage Of fruit by reason of
the preceding unreasonable warmth.
while another cause for the general
small fruit crop this year was the
natural off-year tendency in bear
ing, following last years enormous
production, and this is not properly
charged to the weather."
Big Crop in North Dakota
The bureau also revealed more
or less localized adverse conditions
which it had said had not had a
marked general bearing on crop pro-
ductiOn and, referring to private
forecasts of hail damage to crops in
North Dakota and to criticisms Of it's
special August review for not fea-
turing crop losses, it concluded:
THE relative unimportance Of
these is now indicated by the latest
official report on the 1927 harvests
for North Dakota, which shows that
the wheat crop was one of the five
largest in the history of the state.
Furthermore, the composite condi-
ton Of all crops in North Dakota
was more than 20 per cent above
the 1O-year average for the state"

SARCASTIC TELEGRAMS
ARE BEING EXCHANGED


New York, Oct. 2O.-(AP)-Col.
onel Edward C. Darlington, lawyer
and financier, today said that he
considered the announcement of tn.
marriage of his former wife, Mrs
Anna Walsh Snyder Darlington, K
his brother, Campbell Darlington
lawyer, as "very fishy" and "puz
zling the public to the limit"
Sarcastic kilograms were ex,
changed between Colonel Carringtor
and Schein, Chicago attorney who
announced the marriage in this city
last Thursday and who was asked
for details Of the announcement b,
the colonel Tuesday.
The Telegram
Colonel Darlington gave out the
following telegram to Mr.. Schein:
"My only excuse for annoying you
is, first, to check up your veracity
and, second, to satisfy myself that
the lady relinquished the $3.50, O,OOO
trust fund which you say / estab.
lished for her support and mainten.
ance contingent on her not marrying
Campbell Darlington. When may
expect the return of the securities
securing this alleged trust fund
Why Campbell Darlington and Anna
Walsh Snyder Darlington should
bring you, a highly priced and ac-
cQmpliched attorney, east to blazon
the fact Of their marriage, which
they apparently are SO anxious ia
conceal, is still a mystery to me and
mus be to the public"
The Reply
Mr.. Schein replied:
"Your sagacity and astuteness as
q detective overwhelms me. There
are certain talents which were rec.
ognized in you during our brief in.
tercourse, which are completely
eclipsed by your ability as . sleuth,
The details which you have outlined
are Of no consequence. The fact re-
mains that your brother married
your ex-wife, and he is . better man
than you are"
In comment on the announcement
of the marriage Colonel Darlington
said: II consider the story given
out here by Mr.. Schein last week
about the marriage having taken
place the day before in an Episcopal
church, q bridal breakfast at the
Ritz-C Carlton, and ! honeymoon voy-
age, as very fishy."
The Bismarck tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, N.D.) 1916-current, 1927-10-20

Chicago, Oct. 2O.-(Ap)-Colonel
f. C. Darlington was promised proof
today of the marriage Of his former
wife, Mrs. Anna Walsh Snyder Car
rington, to his brother, Campbell
Darlington Of New York, marriage
concerning which he had expressed
considerable doubt.
George l.. Schein, Chicago attor-
ney, representing Mrs. Darlington in
her divorce action, said that Camp
bell Darlington expected to place
the marriage license and certificate
in the hands Of New York attorney
today with a warning to the colonel
that he will be held strictly ac-
countable" for any further state
nsents casting doubt on the mar
riagc.
Brother Becomes Angry
Schein said he had talked over
long distance telephone with Camp
bell Darlington who is somewhere
in the east"
Campbell Darlington has become
very impatient with his brothers
tactics," the attorney added. II ad-
vised him to ignore them, but he was
angry and decided to try to put a
stop to them. Colonel Darlington
knows very we'll that his brother
was married to his former wife, for
he hasn't been called upon to make
any alimony payments since Au-
gust"
It was last August, according to
Schein, that Campbell Darlington
and Mrs. Darlington were married.

UNDERWOOD IS STILL BACKING
 GOV. AL. SMITH
Statesman Sees But One Candidate McAdoo
 Withdrawal No Effect

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2S An
 endorsement of Gov. Alfred E.
 Smith of New York for the Demo-
 cratic Presidential nomination
 was reiterated by former Senator
 Oscar w. Underwood of Ala
 bama, leading American states
 man and himself a prominent
 candidate at several Democratic
 National Conventions for the
 Presidential nominatin. He said:
 "Gov. Smith is the only can
 didate the Democrats have, and firmly believe if he is nominated
 he will be elected. I do not see that the withdrawal of MT. Me Adoo has changed the situation at all. I never could see any one else as a candidate for the nomination next year except Gov. Smith," Senator Underwood's statement is regarded as an answer to the suggestions of Senator T. H. Carraway of Arkansas, Senator Duncan U. Fletcher of Florida and others suggesting that MT
 McAdoo having withdrawn in the interest of harmony, Gov. Smith ought to do likewise. and there by heal the wounds that were opened three years ago at the Madison Square Garden Conven- tion. Senator Carraway said that at that convention, Gov. Smith was ready to withdraw at any time in the interest of harmony but MT. McAdoo refused to gel lcut of the way but remained in the field until the breach was irreparable. It was Gov. Smith he said. that finally forced MT McAdoo out of the race and per. mitted the convention to make a nomination. He thought that tt
 be consistent Gov. Smith, now
 that Mir. McAdoo has quit in tho
 interest of harmony, should alst withdraw.
 Senator Underwood's statement recognizes that there is . wide difference between the situation
 now and that at New York is 1894.

 cleverness kept away from the Manassa Mauler until his head cleared. The eighth, ninth, and
 tenth rounds were Tunney's. In
