Giarre, Sicily, Nov. 12-(P)-Mt
Etna, now in the eleventh day of q
devastating period of eruption, was
still remorselessly pouring out a
huge flow of lava today. although
there were signs that the dcluge

that new eruptive mouth had been
formed, but later it appeared that
the phenomenon was due. to local
conditions caused by unforeseen

Maryland Ordered to Carry
President Elect to South
America
FIRST STOP AT PANAMA
Nations Next Chief Executive
to Occupy Admiral's Suite
on Tour
FIRST STOP AT PANAMA

Stanford University, Calf, Nov.
|. 12.-(AP)-Herbert Hoover will sail
from San Pedro, Calf, next Monday
on his good will tour of South Amer
lea.
His first port of call will be Bal
boa, Canal Zone, where a days stop
will be made so that he may inspect
the Panama Canal. !,
Beyond that the itinerary has not
been announced, but it is known that
the president-elect desires to visit
all of the Republics on the western
coast of South America. Whether he
will be able to accept the invitation
of Bolivia to visit that country. will
be determined.
Mr.. Hoover and his party will
leave Palo Alto next Sunday on a
special train and 60 directly to San
Pedro, the port for Los Angeles.
where the battleship Maryland will
be boarded and the journey south
ward started around noon of No
~vember 10.
The Maryland is now in dry dock
at Hunters point, on San Francisco
Bay, for the necessary recondition-
ing for the voyage. She will leave
. San Francisco late next Saturday
for San Pedro to refuel there for
the long run to Valparaiso, Chile.
where the president elect will pro-
ceed across country to Santiago and
then to Buenos Aires.
KepairA Damages
After the hull has been cleaned
and painted and some repairs made
to minor damages she suffered at
San Pedro recently when she was
side swiped by a foreign steamer,
the Maryland will sail for the south
ern port to refuel and there await
the president-elect and his party
who will go from Palo Alto to San
Pedro by rail.
During the voyage to Chile Mr..
Hoover will occupy the admiral's
Asuite, located in the extreme stern
Vof' the ship under the quarterback.
This suite is a sumptuous one, con-
sisting of a large reception room,
a dining room, bed room and a
private bath with separate small
sitting room. These quarters will
be equipped with all the necessary

carry on the great volume of work
he must do on the voyage.
Will Prepare Speeches
This work will include the prep
aration of the speeches he is to
deliver in the first South American
Republics he visits.
The president-elect will be accom-
panied by his young son, Allan, and
his secretary, George Akerson, as
well as representatives of the state
department and sizable corps of
newspaper correspondents and a few
camermen.
Although Mrs. Hoover has accom-
panied her husband on all Of his
scampaign trips, it is not likely that
she will make the southern Ameri-
can journey with him. She probably
will remain at her home here and
rejoin the president-elect upon his
arrival in Florida early in January.

COOLIDGE AND
M'NARY AGREE
ON FARM NEED
Will Exert Himself to Have
Farm Legislation Passed in
December

Washington, Nov. 12.-(AP)-
After comforting with President
Coolidge today on farm legislation
and Muscle Shoals, Senator McNary
of Oregon, said that he thought il
was "the duty of congress to deal
with the agrarian situation at the
earliest possible time.
Both the president and the presi.
dent-elect, McNary said, were agreed
that the farm question required i'm.
mediate attention, and, therefore,
he added, he would exert himself to
the utmost to have farm legislation
approved by the short session o1
congress without awaiting the spe.
cial session which Herbert Hoover
said he would call, if necessary, i'm.
mediately after Inauguration.
Senator McNary said that his
chief duty at present concerning
Muscle Shoals, was to determine the
exact status of the bill, which was
approved in the closing days Of the
last session and to which the chief
executive failed to sign.
McNary will consult the attorney
general and other authorities to de-
termine whether the bill became law
or was actually vetoed. Senator
Norris, of Nebraska, sponsor of the
measure, maintains that despite the
lack of Mr.. Coolidge's signature the
bill became law. On the result of
Senator McNary's inquiry in this
matter will depend whether he will
move to have a Muscle Shoals mea-
sure introduced anew in congress or
whether the same bill will be recon-
sidered by congress.
Senator Reed, Republican, Penn
sylvania, who also called at the
White House, said he believed it
should be possible to enact farm
legislation at the forthcoming ses.
sion of congress.
Reed declared the equalization fee
principle was out Of consideration
He added that he had urged Presi-
dent Coolidge to increase the tariff

lowed under the flexible provisions
Of the tariff act.

New York, No 12.-(AP)-More
than 300 men and women, some of
them with little children in their
care, were forced to trust their lives
to tiny life boats On the wind tossed
north Atlantic today when the LAM
port and Hol; Liner Vestris keeled
over on her beam ends and began
to sink.
They were faced with hours Of
waiting as the wintry wind whirled
their cookie shells of boats through
the water and they watched the ship
in which they had but few hours
before been SO luxuriously housed
sink below the waves, about 275
miles from Hampton Roads.
Early reports that the Japanese
steamer Ohio Maru was standing by
were definitely contradicted by
later advices and it seemed probable
that the coast guard destroyer Davis,
due at the scene at 5 o'clock this
afternoon, would be the first to ar
rive. By that time it was feared
the little boats might be scattered
and that approaching darkness
would seriously hamper the work of
rescue.
First word of the distress of the
Vestris came in an S o S call short
ly after 10 o'clock this morning ano
at once a dozen steamers and num-
erous government craft turned from
their paths in race to the rescue.
The wireless of the Vestris contin.
ued brief messages until 1895 this
afternoon, at which time the radio
operator announced that he woul0
be able to send no more and was

told Justice Jennings Bailey that he
had been approached yesterday by a
young man wanting to know whether
he would "hold out" in the case.
Composed of nine men and three
women, the jury was declared &C.
ceptable by counsel for the prosecu-
tion and defense without either side
having exhausted it's ten peremptory
challenges. One of the talesmen ex-
cuscd was Robert N. Caldwell, who

courtroom Caldwell said later the

Caldwell was confronted with man

Willist0n
DEMONS RECORD BEST
Behemoths Win Eight Games,
Lose None, Score 231 Points
in Season
DEMONS RECORD BEST

The sBismarck Behemoths have
battered their way to the unofficial
interscholastic football champion
ship of North Dakota.
With their backs to the wall, the
Mandan Braves Saturday flung the
last gage of battle into the victorious
trail of the Demons who rode rough
shod to triumph by a score of 10
to Z.
Members of the Demon football
team this morning voted not to play
Williston for the unofficial state
championship. CSach Roy Mcleod
had left the proposition to the boys
for decision. Williston has been
dickering for the game for the last
two weeks, Coach Joe Cutting feel.
ing that, in view of the fact that
Williston has been undcfcated in
three of the last four seasons, a play
off should be scheduled this year.
In making their decision not to
play the Coyotes, the Bismarck
youths declared that Williston was
not entitled to recognition, having
played only one strong team and one
minor team in the state this year.
The Demons felt that their seven
victories, as compared to Williston's s
record, should give them the undis-
puted claim to the championship
honors.
Bismarck has also had hard sea-
son, which has been particularly
tough during the last month, while
the northerners have not played for
three weeks.
Williston's record follows:
Williston LOG, Plentywood, Mont,
Williston so, Wolf Point, Mont, Z.
Williston 13, Miles City, Mont, Z.
Williston Is, Mohall 0.
Williston 20, Minot 13.
Strewn along Bismarck's gridiron
high road lie the wrecked hulks Of
seven elevens who were ruthlessly
trampled underfoot by the Capital
City juggernaut as it rolled up 231
points to its foes 10 in eight games.
The 1928 record reads:
Bismarck 90; Linton 0.
Bismarck IL, Mandan 0.
Bismarck z; Fargo 0.
Bismarck 13; Minot 0.
Bismarck 81; Mobridge 6.
Bismarck 26; Jamestown O.
Bismarck Is, Valley City 6.
Bismarck 10; Mandan Z.
Twice did Bismarck's hereditary
enemies, Mandan, wave traditional
jinx flag-that the Braves have the
Indian sign on the Demons-in the
face of the Big Maroon. Twice did
Bismarck seize the jinx and crush it..
The football song is ended but the
title melody fingers on.

POTATO YIELDS

EXPERT STATES
Rate of 25.5 Bushels Per Acre
Brings Corn Production to
24,OOO,OOO Bushels

Potato yield in North Dakota is
higher this year than in any
year since 1914, flax yield is one half
a bushel below that Of last year
yield Of corn is estimated at 4,2O0,-
900 bushels, and the buckwheat yield
at 100000 bushels. according to the
monthly statement of Paul c. New.
man, agricultural statistician of the
U. S. department of agriculture, is
sued today.
The average yield Of corn is esti-
mated at 25.5 bushels per acre.
North Dakota potatoes are yield
ing above expectations, and the av-
erage state yield of 105 bushels is
the highest since 1914" Newman
said. Notwithstanding the prevail.
ing low prices, it is believed that
most of the North Dakota crop has
been dug, except in areas where the
crop was damaged to considerable
extent by excessive rains and other
causes. Elsewhere, due to good

"The North Dakota crop has
