M'CURDY SEEKS
COUNTY MONEY
Burleigh County Asks Funds
Lost in Closed Bank Be Taken
from Hallum Estate

Hearing regarding the payment
of between $50, and SAC, 900 from
the estate of ]. c. Hallum, Driscoll,
to the Burleigh county treasurer will
be held in the Hennepin county pro-
bate court tomorrow.
F. E. McCurdy, Burleigh county
states attorney, left Bismarck today
for Minneapolis, where he will rep
resent the county in the hearing.
Hallum, who died several months
ago, was the heaviest stakeholder
and director of the Farmers and
Merchants State bank of Driscoll
which closed it's doors about 2 1-2
years ago. Hallum had signed bonds
to secure payment of county and
other public money deposited in the
bank, and with the closing of the in
stitution Burleigh county started
proceedings to recover the money
deposited.
The county has filed claim against
the estate for the amount and the
administrator of the estate is con.
testing the action.

SENATORS PLAN
TO INVESTIGATE
INDIAN AFFAIRS
Probe to Begin in Seven States
After Presidential Elec.
ton
FRAZIER Is CHAIRMAN
Administrative Affairs in Blu
reaus May Be Taken Up
by Committee

The entire system dealing with
administrative Indian affairs will be
carefully Investigated by sub-com-
mittee appointed recently, Nelson A.
Mason, Bismarck, secretary Of the
subcommittee, announced here to-
day.
Investigation will be made, i'm
mediately after the presidential
election, into the Indian affairs il,
North and South Dakota, Montana,
Utah, California, Washington and
Oregon, Mason said.
A committee Of Is members was
appointed by Congress in February,
1927, to survey conditions among
the Indians and expeditures of
funds. The committee then ap-
pointed subcommittee composed
of Senators Wheeler of Montana,
LaFollette of Wisconsin, Frazier of
North Dakota and Pine Of Oklahoma
to take up the details Of the investi-
cation.
By virtue of his position as secre-
tary to Frazier, who is chairman Of
the group, Mason becomes secretary
Of the subcommittee. Louis r.
CLAWS, New York, an expert on In
dian affairs, will accompany the
group on it's tour Of the states.
although no definite plans have
been made by the committee con-
corning the work it will take up"
Mason said, "the entire system will
receive the careful scrutiny OF the
committee.
1.-THE present system Of caring
for the Indians is anything but sat-
isfactory. Although it would be i'm
possible at present to release the
Indians from the care of the United
States government, the system now
in use tends to make the Indians
depend on the government as a child
does on a father. Some system must
be devised to make the Indian de-
pend more on himself and give him
self-reliance."
Mason intimated that a consider
able part of the investigation might
be devoted to administrative affairs
Of the Indian bureaus.

Both North Dakota and Jack
rabbits Have Undefeated
ElevenS

Grand Forks, N. d., Oct. 17.-(R
For the first time in its history
the University of North Dakota will
send an undefeated team on the field
for its annual Homecoming football
battle and 10000 fans are expected
to be on hand when the Flickers line
up against South Dakota State on
Saturday.
By beating Morningside Is to 10
last week the Nodaks maintained
their undefeated record, a record
which is matched, however, by the
Jackrabbits from South Dakota, and
one of the best contests ever seen
on Memorial field here is expected
to result.
Elaborate preparations to enter
tain the alumni who will return to
the campus for the annual Home
coming event are being made under
Webster Pullen, Donnybrook, who is
chairman of the committee arrang-
ing for the affair.
More than 80 groups on the
campus have entered floats in a
mammoth parade to be held as the
opening feature of the day. An
alumni luncheon at noon and the
traditional bonfire at dusk will be
followed by an all-university in
formal dance.
Sophomores will attempt to defeat
the freshmen in the traditional
games between the two classes,
which are a part of the Homecoming
program. Outstanding in these
games is the tug-of-war in which
members of the losing team are
dragged through the waters Of
English Coulee." A sack rush and
other forms of competition are also
| held.

Wheat futures dragged lower early

Reluctant to form definite opinion

warmth and enthusiasm which have
been accorded him in the west.
He has been trying to assess the
feeling out here in states which have
been in the habit Of voting the Re

to determine whether it means
greater sentiment for Governor
Smith than he expected to find Of
whether it is the natural, Nonparti-

Wheat

Chicago, Oct. 17.-(AP)-Reports
Of official tests indicating that low

Duluth Number northern for flour
making tended to depress wheat
prices today. There was also talk
Of winter wheat being brought here
from the west and southwest in adj
dition to the Duluth shipments to
Chicago Of late. On the other hand,
weather in Argentina was described
as favorable for rust development,
but there were no advices that as
yet any rust had reached stage
which would constitute a menace.
Wheat closed unsettled, 5-8c to

Assertions that low cost and COM

out that such situation is conducive
to serious packing up Of supplies in

upturns.
Clearing weather and lower tenn
peratures northwest were reported
today as likely to result in further
large receipts Of wheat at domestic
terminals. In this connection talk
was current that elevator space
northwest is nearing state where
some relief must come in the way Of
forward sales to avoid congestion of
supplies. Meanwhile Winnipeg adj
vices said recent export business ap-
pears to have been larger than was
supposed.
Corn was active today and prices
averaged higher, with selling against
offers checking the upturn. Oats
averaged higher with other grain.
Provisions were easier on account
of scattered selling which found sup
port lacking.
