Norton Still Believed to BE
Last Man Who Saw 16-

Youth Alive-Fear of Pros.
ecutiOn Assigned as Posi-
BILE Motive For Alleged
Murder

Watford City, N. d.. July l3.
Stolen beef hides whicn were found

and which the youth said were given
him by his stcpfather. W. T. Norton.
are Beginning to play an important
role in the investigation of the lads
mysterious death.
AS reconstructed by States Attor-
rev J S. Taylor, Jr, the theory is
that the boy went to the Norton
home for pair Of shoes which he
had on when his body was found near
\ spring in the vicinity of Grassy
Butte. John Kuklo, a playmate vino
is the last person known to have
seen Karlenchenko alive. said Matt
was not wearing the shoes when he
last saw him. 1t was said at the
states attorneys office, however,
that Taylor believes Norton is the
last person who saw the murdered
boy alive. NOrton's fear Of prosecu-
tion on charge of stealing the beef
hides which the youth is said to have
assigned by Taylor as possible
motive for the alleged Staying. The
hides are said to have borne the
brands of fieighboring farmers and
ranchers.
Meanwhile Sheriff C. A. jacobson
is searching for the bullets which
caused the boys death by sitting the
sand near the spot where the body
was found.
An autopsy Sunday failed to locate
any bullets although the body
showed what appeared to be two bull
let holes.
The hecoroner's inquest will be held
tomorrow.

Naval ParIey Delegates Call
Plenary Session For Tomorrow
Session Arranged to Give As
surance That Negotiations
Are Continuing in Frtendli-
est Manner-GibsOn Will
Pay Tribute toy Kelvin
O'Higgins

Geneva, July 13.-tP,--The dele
gates to the tripartite naval confer
ence today decided to convoke Il
plenary session tomorrow at 3 p. M.
Tomorrow's plenary session was ar
ranged, it was learned. in order that
assurance can be given that the
negotiations are continuing in the
friendliest manner.
Hugh S. Gibson. head Of the Amer
lean delegation, probably will pay
tribute 10 Kelvin O'Higgins, Irish
Free State minister, who was as
sassinated on Sunday.
Atmosphere Is Friendly
The atmosphere at Geneva today
was most friendly, although IA meet
ing which was held today did not
result in any agreement on the
cruiser problem. the Japanese insist
ing that they must have real limta-
ton.
Today's meeting was at the home
of II. B. Butler, assistant director of
the International Labor Bureau, in
order to take up the problems con-
fronting the conference. Their chief
cruisers and Japans announced in
wolves the expansion Of the Japan
ese navy.
In the meantime. the japanese sug-
Great Britain negotiate between
themselves has awakened no enthu'
siasm in American circles.
The Difficulties
First Of all, treaty making 4OO.-
>f
strength Of Great Britain and the
U..ited States is not to the liking
Of the American delegates because il
means expansion Of the American
navy. Even if it were accepted as
compromise, it is believed that an!
bilateral convention will not achieve
the objects for which the confer
ence was originally convoked. More.
over it is regarded as difficult fol
Great Britain and the United States
to tie their hands by treaty with
japan free to do what she wishes
and to concentrate naval building II
any one category as, for instance
submarines.
Still another objection is that tn
United States would be unable t.
determine in advance just how fal
it can 60 in acquiring parity will
Great Britain by the actual construc
ton Of ships.
Receiving the press this afternoon
Hugh Gibson, Americas chief repre-
sentative, denied that division ex
lists in the American delegation. II
denied also that the Americans eve
demanded the right to build 25 1000
ton cruisers.

OPENS NEW ERA FOR
NORTHWEST FARMERS

Although it is questionable it the
Mississippi river barge service can
handle any considerable percentage
of the grain shipments from the
Northwest this year, its institution
and the newly announced rates should
open q new era for the farmer, C. w.
Mcdonnell. member Of the state rail-
road board. said here today
An increase in the facilities Of
the barge line will make it an i'm
portant transportation factor for
Northwestern grain, he said, offering
water competition to the Duluth
Montreal route.
The only present prospect Of .
blockade in the heavy grain move
ment expected iris year is that the
elevators at Duluth and Minneapolis
may not be able to move the grain
out in as great volume as IL Is
received. The barge line should help
to relieve such situation II il oc-
ours, he said.
