MINNEAPOLIS
BANKS TO AID
IN SEEDL0
Agree to Help Northwest
Farmers BY Purchasing
Bonds Issued BY Counties

At q meeting held in Minneapolis
Monday. attended by officials of the
Northwestern National Bank, the
First National Bank. the Minneapolis
Trust Company and the Minnesota
Loan and Trust Company, it was de-
cidcd to offer all reasonable financial
aid to any county in North Dakota,
South Dakota and Montana requiring
seed financing. Reports were read
indicating that the need for seed
financing was not general but con-
fined to certain areas in the three
states, due to the spotty character Of
last years crop.
Details were not worked out but
in general way the aid would take
the form Of purchasing seed war
rants or seed bonds to be issued by
county commissioners. In case any
county desires to issue bonds it was
suggested that the bonds have a pre-
paying privilege.
The four financial institutions have
already begun negotiations with var
ious counties Independently since the
failure of congress to appropriate
funds to carry out the Norbeck John
SON seed bill. 1t was felt by the Min
neapolis financiers. however, that the
time before seeding is so short that
more effective aid could be rendered
by Joint action on their part.

ENGLAND AND
JAPAN FAVOR
US. PROPOSAL
Washington Officials Believe
Conference at Geneva Will
Become Reality
TO BE 3.POWER AFFAIR
France and Italy Will Prob.
ably Be Asked to Send
Observers to Meeting

Washington. March 9.-LP)--Lon-
don and Tokyo news adviccs clear
ly indicating Great Britain and
Japan will accept the American pro-
posal for a conference with the
United States at Geneva this sum-
mer on auxiliary warcraft limitation
are taken by officials here to mean
that suchs q project ultimately will
be brought out.
While there has not been much
doubt as to the Japanese attitude
toward such an arrangement, British
sentiment in the past generally has
been against any limitation of anti
submarine craft as long as her con-
tinental neighbors refused to limit
submarine construction, and officials
have looked to Great Britain to re-
move the greatest obstacle in the
way Of three-power parley.
France and Itay, who turned down
the American proposal for five
power naval limitation conference,
which Great Britain and Japan fav-
ored, probably will be asked to send
observers to the three-powcr meet
ing, formal invitations to which will
be held up pending replies from the
latter two countries.
Japan TAVOT9Ouy lnCbne0
A Tokyo dispatch received early to-
day said Japan intended to accept
the latest American suggestion.
London dispatches previously had
declared that, in the absence of re-
ceipt Of a formal American offer,
Great Britain would be quick to
favor the three-powcr conference
idea. The impression also was given
in League of Nations circles at Gc-
neva that Great Britain would accept.
Public opinion throughout
Great Britain, as interpreted by that
country's officials. was described as
demanding British acceptance of any
American plan for naval Limitation.
While attention was CALLED to handi-
caps under which delegates of the
three powers would labor in absence
Of Mediterranean powers, hope was
expressed that whatever might be ac-
complished would serve to convince
France and Italy it is to their inter-
est to cooperate with other great
naval powers in world disarmam cnt.

WUHU CENTER
OF ATTENTION
IN CHINA WAR
Cantonese Occupy City and
Are Moving in Increasing
Strength on Marking

.Shanghi, March 9.-LP)-Attention
centered today on Wuhu, 200 miles
west Of here, because of its Occupa-
tion by advancing Cantonese and
riots in which the customs house was
looted by mob.
Foreign women and children Of
Wuhu evacuated the city today and
left by steamer for SHANGHAI. No
casualties were reported, but indica-
tions were that all FOREIGNERS would
soon depart from the city. The
antl-ri0t measures were described
AS "lukewarm.'
Latest military events seem strong
ly in favor Of the Cantonese, who
are moving in increasing strength
down Yan2tze river toward Marking
from as far west as Hankow. They
are reported advancing around both
sides of Lake Taaihu, in their effort
to attain the Nanking-Shanghai
to General Chang Tsung- Chang, chief
defender Of Shanghai, BY cutting his
communications.
Nationalist soldiers at Wusueh, be-
low Hankow, rushed and captured
British steamer Monday, starting
down the river with il. A British
destroyer later intercepted the
steamer, and recaptured it. An
armed guard was placed aboard.
Observers in London, drawing con-
clusions from dispatches from the
far east, have expressed belief that
the Cantonese are likely to occupy
Shanghai soon and force the north
crners clear to Manchuria without
serious opposition. But they do not
feel alarmed over this, commenting
that there are sufficient foreign
forces in Shanghai to cope with any
situation, and that the international
settlement there would not be great
ly affected by transfer of auth ority.

on the drill would not reach from the
nearest electric light socket to the
vault door. She was frightened
away by the whrring of an electric

vers to have her sent to the state

dition. Specialists at the hospital
reported that the girl was not in
sane and she was returned here for
arrangement today.

Of emotion after sentence was pro-
nounced, will be taken to the penl-
tcntiary this evening. Mrs. NJ. l.

who was still alive although he had
not drawn normal breath for three
days, as result of paralysis Of the

procession of men who have been in

stricken young salesman since last
Sunday morning.
Two by two they approached the
bed, swayed back and forth for Is
minutes, one on each side, working
feverishly il exact rhythm, pressing
their hands down on the victims low
or chest. then relaxing them, in an
endless respirational effort.
Twenty-fOur men have worked in
an unbroken continuation Of eight

friends stood ready to act as substi-

gone on since Sunday morning, when
creeping paralysis took effect in
nerves controlling the movements Of
the youths diaphragm.
The case seemed virtually hopeless
but doctors Immediately set up an
artificial respiration, and Frick re-
spOndcd to the treatment. Hoping
against hope, the medical men sent

Physicians said they were witness
ing one Of the most remarkable
achievements in medical history as

passed and the spark of life fingered.
The fact that Frick could talk,
when his tongue was completely
paralyzed Sunday, encouraged those
at his side but doctors said they
