forced, according to the way the ge-
material effect on the Congress, al
though it has had its influence on
some OF the individual members of
that bJdy. For example, the Wicker
sham report made several definite r:c-
concentrations looking to more ade-
quate enforcement. One of them pro-
poses to do away with the limit now
imposed under the Volstead act on the
prescription of liquor for medicinal
purposes. The Senate has had under
consideration for several days the
Howell bill, setting up a prohibition
enforcement for the District of Co
lumbia. An amendment was offered to
the bill permitting physicians to pre-
scribe liquor for their patients as they
thought best, without the limit now
set of pint or two every month. The
Senate, however, voted this down by
As to IS, On motion to reconsider,
the advocates of the amendment polled
20 votes. 1t is true that this IS q
larger vote fer any motion looking to
making the liquor laws lees drastic
than has been had in the Senate for
years. But the preponderance of the
Senators still apparently devoted to the
bone dry laws Is still marked.
The Wiekersham report also strong
ly urged that the laws Of search and
seizure be made no more severe, on the
theory that such action would merely
tend to increase the opposition to pro-
htbition. The Howell bill makes the
search and seizure provisions in the
District more severe than the Volstead
act. Under the Volstead law warrants
may be issued to search homes only
when there is some evidence that they
are being used for the sale of liquor.
The Howell bill, as new amended, per-
mits search warrants to issue when 1t
Is believed that homes are used for the
manufacture or storage of liquor for
sale. How it can be asceltained that
liquor stored In home is for sale pur-
poses, when it has not been sold, seems
q little thick. 1t looks as though the
Anti-Saloon League Is still more pow
erful politically than the Wickersham
Commission.

To be Held in Connection With
Celebration For Young
sters at Mandan

Over a thousands youngsters are
expected to take part in the children's
parade to be held in Mandan in con
nection with a celebration Saturday,

tary of the chamber of commerce.
A steady stream of applications is
pouring into his office, Arnold said,
and there seems to be little doubt
that the affair will be an unqualified
success.
Committees in charge estimate that
several hundred rural children from
the territory surrounding Mandan
will be attracted to the city by the
festivities and steps are being taken
to assure them a hearty welcome.
Many features will be exhibited in
the procession, Arnold said, with
prizes offered for most beautiful
floats, most attractive costumes, fun
niest vehicle decorations, as we'll as
many other feature contests.
The parade Is being held in the in
terests of children and children alone,
Arnold said in commenting on the
celebration. Adults will participate
only as spectators.
The procession will form at 1890
a. m. Saturday In the east end of the
city and proceed westward down Main
st. 1t will be divided into two Sec
tons with boys marching in one unit
and girls in another.

QUITS; RAPS
FARM BOARD POLICY
Says He Can no Longer Sup
port Work Of National
Grain Corporation

Minneapolis, Sept. 17.-PeVictor
A. Johnston, editor Of the official
publication of the Northwest Grain
association, regional cooperative, an
nounced his resignation Thursday in
q letter stating that Il can no longer
support the program of the federal
farm board and the Farmers National
Grain corporation"
The association was recently alb
sorbed by the farmers national and
Johnston charged "coercive methods"
were employed to accomplish that
end.
The resignation was addressed to
A. L Berg, Baltic, s. D., president of
the association, which operates in
Montana, North and South Dakota,
Minnesota and Wisconsin. In it
Johnson : asserted pressure was
brought to bear On Berg to issue a
statement recently condemning &C
tivities of northwest cooperative lead
ers who protested the farmers ma
tional program of merging grain CO.
operative units.
He asserted Berg's statement was
written by c. E. Huff, Chicago, presi-
dent of farmers national, with the as
sistance Of Huff's attorney. Johnston
added he believed concern expressed
by Huff over the financial condition
of the association was only an ex-
cuse to wreck the organization"

M0RT|C|AN TALKS TO
COSMOPOLITAN CLUB
o. A. Convert Says Modern En-
balmer Must be of Service
to Bereaved Family

Members of the Cosmopolitan club
Thursday heard a talk on service of
today as exemplified by morticians,
given by O. A. Convert, Bismarck
embalmer.
Convert traced the history of en-
balming from the days Of the Egyp-
tian tombs until the present and said
embalming methods are being i'm
proved constantly.
He outlined many Of the problems
met by the modern mortician, saying
that one of the greatest Is to get
members of a beraozed family to
think and act calmly when a relative
has died. He said the modern NOR
tician must be of service to the liv-
ing as we'll as to the dead.
He pointed out that the qualifica-
tons for licensed m~orticians are
growing higher each year.
A resolution that the local club
become Q unit in a statewide organ
izaion Of Cosmopolitan clubs was
passed by the Cub at the luncheon.
Details Of the state association OF
Cosmopolitan clubs will be planned

MANDAN BRAVES TO
PLAY LINTON LIONS
Morton County Aggregation
Will 60 Into Contest With
Healthy Respect For Foe

With the memory of last years Bit
ter struggle fresh in their minds, the
Mandan Braves will go into action
against the Linton Lions Friday with
a healthy respect for their adversar-
les, according to their coaches.
It was a fighting Linton team
which played the Braves almost off
their feet in the early stages of last
years contest and came within q
hairs breadth of winning.
Little is known of Unions strength
this year but the calibre of football
shown by the boys from Emmons
county in the last few years has made
them a factor to be respected.
Coach Leonard Mcmahon put his
charges through the first actual
scrimmage of the season Wednesday
in anticipation of the game. No at
tempt. to line up a first team was
made at that time, two teams picked
at random being pitted against each
other.
Clarence West is definitely out of
the picture, for a few days at least,
because of an infection in his neck
resulting from boils. West, who was
expected to start at guard, probably
will be replaced by Bill Fleck OF Cap
tain Floyd Dietrich, both of whom
played at end last year. McMahon's
system calls for fast guards to come
out of the line to lead the i~nterfer-
ence and Dietrich and F1eck have
shown some indication that they can
turn the trick.
Mcmahon says he has not definite
ly decided what players will be draft
ed to start the initial game and prob
ably will not decide until just before
the contest.
The game will be played on the
gridiron at the Mandan fair grounds
at $3.50 p. m. Friday.

SAY CHICAGO GRAFT
IS Barred IN LETTER
FROM DEAD GANGMAN
Officials Decline to Comment,
Say Charges Cannot be
Proved Legally

Chicago, Sept. 17.-(Py-The sup
posed Staying of Mike de Pike" Heit-
Ter, underworld figure, had an after
math Thursday in a letter supposedly
dictated by him %purporting to ex-
pose police graft collections and to
reveal the motive Of the gangland
killing of Jack Zuta. Zuta was slain
about a year ago at at Wisconsin
summer resort.
Alphonse Capone'S name was men,
toned in the letter which purported
to reveal a plan of the gang chiefs
organization to win control OF the
vice, liquor, and gambling business
on Chicago's west side, in which it
became necessary to bring about
Zuta's death.
The states attorneys office, report
ed to have received the letter, prompt
~ denied it's receipt. Patrick Roche,
chief investigator for the states at
torney, said his department had never
received any such letter. He admitted
however, he had been informed OF
its contents many months ago and
that he had investigated every ale
CATION it made, but that no legal
proof could be obtained in support
of the epistle.
Mention was made in the letter
of the Staying of Alfred j. Lingle,
crime reporter, fatally shot a year
ago last June, with an intimation that
Capone antipathy was responsible for
Lingle's death.
The Chicago Tribune, however,
which with other Chicago newspapers,
published the letter, quoted Roche as
saying that the epistle docs not give
anything like a motive for the Llngle
murder
Il believe I know the motive for
that crime" Roche said but at pres
ent it cannot be proved legally"
There was no doubt, he added, OF
the guilt of Leo v. Brothers OF st.
Louis, who was convicted and Sentenc-
ed to IA years for Lingle'S death.
Capone himself ridiculed tn e
charges made in the letter. He was
interviewed by the Tribune.
Have you seen the papers con-
tanning the Heitler letter." he was
asked.
Il sure have he replied, Il never
miss. Funny isn't it that some wise
guy don't give me the bang on the
Chicago fire"
