WASHINGTON, April %. - Al
Smiths drive for the Democratic
presidential nomination is rehabili-
tated while Governor Franklin D.
Roosevelt is warned that the prize,
almost in his grasp, has not been
cinched.
These, according to cautious
Democratic politicians, are the out
standing developments of the preSi-
dental primaries in Massachusetts,
and Pennsylvania.
Smiths overwhelming victory in
Massachusetts with thirty-six dele
gates and his possible seizure of
sixteen delegates in Pennsylvania
gives him nucleus of fifty-two
votes at the Chicago convention.
Next Test Tuesday
To this, it is predicted, he will
add from New Jersey six, and pos
Sibly ten from Connecticut and ten
from Rhole Island.
The Happy Warriors" final test
will come next Tuesday in Califor-
mia when he participates in three
cornered contest with Speaker Gar
ner and Roosevelt for forty dele
gates.
Should Smith win California,
politicians concede, he may succeed
in deadlocking the convention.

however, found some comfort in
the Pennsylvania result, even though
he failed to receive the sixty-six
votes promised by Joseph F. CUT
fey, former national committeeman.
He actually has obtained fifty-eight
pledged Pennsylvania votes to
swell his total of pledged and
claimed delegates to 325, and he
won the presidential preference
vote of the state.
Help for Roosevelt
A result of Tuesdays Massachu-
sets balloting, senators predict,
will be to persuade politicians in
southern and western states, re-
garded as friendly to Roosevelt. to
send instructed delegates to the con-
vention instead of uninstructed as
heretofore was contemplated This

and in Mississippi, each with twenty
delegates.

and Frank j. Mccarthy, one of the
younger Democratic leaders. Ellis
and Mccarthy are reported as

The battle ground will be Marion

VXTASHINGTON, April D.
w The federal farm board,
which has lost an estimated
5000, 100000 in public money dur
ing three-year attempt to save
the farmers, is about to go on
trial before a senate committee
which will try to decide whether
it should be overhauled or simply
junked.
1t represents a government in
vestment of a half billion dollars
in move that was designed to
stop the terrific price decline.
The board and the agricultural
marketing act, under which it
operates, will be probed and prod
ded, assaulted, and defended. Pri-
vate dealers in grain and cottons
lead those who propose abolition
of the whole system, whereas the
larger national organizations OF
farmers insist that it be pre-
served and be given greater pow
ers to enable it to become useful
to agriculture.
Scores of charges have been
hurled at the board and its meth
DDS, but the underlying impetus
to this investigation by the senate
agriculture committee was fur
nished by the fact that whereas
the board and the $780, 900 act
were recommended by the Hoo
yer administration as the best
possible farm relief measure, they
have been almost utterly inpo-
tent in the attempt to check to-
bogganing farm prices and have
cost the taxpayers huge sum of
money.
CENATOR GEORGE w. NOR
- RIS of Nebraska, sponsor of
the investigation, says the senate
wants only to make an absolute
ly fair investigation for the truth"
He SO framed his resolution
that private grain and cotton
dealers also will be investigated,
with especial reference to their
alleged attempts to hinder or
wreck the farm board.
Ten big questions Norris and
other farm state senators want to
determine are these.
Whether the board, regardless
L of its 100000, 900 losses, has
helped or hindered the farmers.
O-Whether it should be abol-
Il ished, or continued with &C
Invites restricted to encouraging
cooperative marketing and max
ing loans or continued with power
to use the equalization fee or the
export debenture plan.
O-Whether the costly stabiliza-
= ton operations we're in ac-
cordance with the law.
I-Whether the act has had a
4 fair tryout or whether it's sue
cessful operation was rendered
impossible only by the protracted
depression.
E-Whether the board, by mis-
- taken or improper operation,
has injured rather than helped

ment and has entered into COM

Gus Year Shown; Valued
at $2,247,624

North Dakota mines produced
/ $50. ~ tons of Ignite coal, valued
at $2,247, 624.65, for the year ending
Oct. 81, 1881, according to the annua!
report Of Edwin Rupp, state coal mine
inspector.
The production was 10000 tons
less than the previous year, wnen
l ,849,1 tons were mined and valueo
at $3,266,S3o.
During 1881, 1896, 438 tons were used
locally, and 1.155,804 shipped, while
in 1890, 45S,766 tons were Tor local
use, and 1,3s0,37s shipped.
Decrease In production was at
tributed by Rupp to three major
lcauses-an unusually mild winter, the
continued opening Of non-commerclal
mines throughout the western part OF
the state, and further introduction OF
natural gas as well as use for fuel OF
thousands Of loads Of wood hauled
from the Missouri river woods.

themselves Of the opportunity to mine

For the annual period covered by
the report, three fatal and 100 non
fatal accidents were experienced. The
fatal accidents equal those Of the pre-
viols year, while the non-fatal acct
dents have been reduced from 3O1 or
81 per cent. The Knife River Coal
Mining company has been the main
contributor to the decrease by the
reduction of their non-fatal acct
dents from 81 to "a or 60 per cent
under the previous year. There has
been one fatal accident to every 517,-

dent to every $3.50 tons mined.
