IRISH GOODS TO PAY.
100 PER CENT DUTY.
Britain Votes Tariff as Free
State Refuses Recognition
of Land AnnuitieS.
Nv the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, July 5.-Great Britain to-
day made good its threat to retaliate
against the refusal Of the Irish Free
State to make further land annuity
payments.
A 100 per cent tariff on Free State
goods was authorized last night by the
House of Commons by an overwhelming
vote. The vote was upon resolution
introduced by ]. H Thomas, secretary
for the dominions, who recently con-
ferred with President de Valera in
Dublin.
Mr.. Thomas said he received a note
from the Free State government in
sisting that the annuities question be
arbitrated by an international tribunal,
but that Great Britain could not con-
sent to permit foreigners to a-bitrate
domestic disputes. 1t would be neces-
sary, he said, to proceed to collect the
annuitieS with tariff tax.
Both governments have agreed to ar
bitration, but Britain has contended
for a tribunal formed from the units
of the empire, while the Free State
has insisted it is a question for an in
ternational tribunal to decide.
The land annuities, amounting to ap-
proximately SI1 900, 900 year, were set
up by the Anglo Irish treaty of 1921
and were intended to reimburse land
holders, mostly British, for land pur-
chased for parceling to tenant farmers.

De Valera Plan May Offset Harm to
Agriculture.

DUBLIN, Irish Free State, July up.
Some Free State business interests
were perturbed today over the prospect
of new tariff levies against Irish goods,
in retaliation for refusal to pay the
land annuities.
Some of the larger cattle dealers
said they would have to go out Of buSi-

said.
The cabinet met last night to con-

WINTER RYE CROP
IS BELOW AVERAGE
Agricultural Statistician Sees
Reduction in Yield as Con-
ditions Are Now

The April first condition of winter
rye In North Dakota is SO per cent of
normal, per cent below the reported
condition on December first last fall.
and the same amount below the April
first condition of the crop year ago,
according to the April first crop re-
port Of the Federal Agricultural Sta
tistician at Fargo. Records back to
1910 show that this is the lowest April
first condition reported during the
period. However, it may be said that
the April first condition is not par
ticularly good measure of the final
crop production since in most years
no crop growth has occurred on this
date and reporters estimates repre-
sent their judgment of what the con-
dition is. based on their knowledge Of
the effects of such factors as usually
influence the outturn of the crop.
This years rye crop was seeded under
very unfavorable soil moisture con-
ditions. In many fields, seed failed to
terminate, but is likely to make a
strong growth as soon as growing
weather sets in. Over much of the
state the ground has been covered
with a good blanket of snow but some
concern is expressed regarding the
effects of the thaW in February which
caused most of the snow to disappear
followed by the prolonged period of
low temperatures during March. Some
reporters express the belief that they
may have caused considerable winter
killing of rye as we'll as tame hay
meadows.
The condition OF pastures on April
first is placed at SIS per cent, which
compares with 63 per cent Oh April
first last year and with Is, the aver
age for a seven-year period. Pasture
conditions will improve rapidly if the
moisture supply is favorable and good
growing weather prevails.
Wheat stocks on farms April first
are estimated to represent 16 per cent
of the 1881 crop, or 5,235 900 bushels
which compares with 6,543.000 bushels

Park Rivers City
Water Tower Falls

Park River, N. D., April 11.-(R
Park River's city water tower,
an 80-foot structure topped by a
tank with a capacity of 10000 GAL
Ions, crashed to the ground Fri
day night from the weight of ice
about the framework.
A leak in the tank caused the
ice to form during the winter.
-Four days before the tower
crashed the city council had
awarded a $1,7O0 contract for
building new tank to top the
present tower. The contract like
ly will be Cancelled and bids ask
ed for construction of new tow
err and tank.
Meanwhile pressure for city
water is being maintained by
pumps to avert fire hazard. It is
estimated replacement of the tow
err and tank will cost approximate
ly $4,000.

effect by the Interstate Transporter
ton company
J. G. Belanger, general superintend-

time between Bismarck and Sioux
City, Ia, and all points south consid-
Ferably.
Unde;' the new schedule, the Aber-

No change in the schedule of buses
between Bismarck and Minot have
been made, Belanger said.

third will be for material, one-third
for freight. and ne-third for labor.
Full federal aid has been obtained
for building the structure because it
will be on Indian lands on both sides
Of the river. The structure Is south
and west Of Elbowoods on the Fort
Berthold reservation between the
boundary lines Of Dunn and Mercer
counties in the northwestern corner
of Mercer county. The bridge will
have an all over length of 1910 feet.
Congress authorized construction
of the span two years ago, and the
1881 state legislature appropriated
$4,000 to cover engineering costs.
A hearing was held in Bismarck
last November before war department
engineers to determine whether the
plans proposed would interfere with
navigation on the Missouri river
The army engineers suggested
changes, which were approved by the
war department March Is, and de-
tailed sketches were then begun by
the bridge department of the high
way commission.

April Elections Bring Real
Test for Roosevelt Forces
New Workers. Bandwagon Goes
Into -Four Large States;
Meets Opposition

Copyright, 1882, NEA Service, 1nc)
Washington, April 1.-THE presi-
DENTAL band-wagon Of Governor
Franklin D. Roosevelt now goes
hurting into four large states which
much choose delegates to the Demo
cratic national convention before the
end of April.
The governors political enemies
will try to tear off wheel. If they
can't do it on April Goth in the pri-
maries Of Massachusetts and Penn
sylvania, following the Illinois and
Nebraska primaries on April 18th and
the Michigan state convention April
14th, Roosevelt probably will be nomi-
mated promptly when the convention
meets at Chicago.
A group of powerful anti-Roose-
welt leaders still hope to head him off
They include AL Smith, Frank Hague
of New Jersey and National Chair
man Raskob. A majority of state
leaders over the country apparently
favor the governor.
Other candidates have Jagged 50

nearly unanimous as to the great
likelihood that he will be the cam
paign opponent of President Hoover
who will Certainly be renominated by
the Republicans.
Roosevelt now has 159 delegates
certain to vote for him on the first
ballot. They come from Washington
New Hampshire, Minnesota, North
Dakota, Georgia, Maine, Iowa, South
Dakota and Wisconsin.
Governor Alfalfa Bill Murray has
i. % from Oklahoma and one from
North Dakota. Ex-senator Jim Reed
has 36 from Missouri who probably
will not be with him after the first
ballot. Louisiana, Arkansas and the
Philippines have chosen a total of A
uninstructed delegates and New York
will add 81 more. That makes 1877
delegates accounted for but not pledg-
cd to Roosevelt.
* X X
But although the governor has a
majority on that count, he, is believed
to have considerable second choice
strength and some of the uninstruct-
ed votes-perhaps including New
Ycrks 94-will be for him on the first
ballot.
His leaders say they will have at
least 700 first ballot delegates and If
that is true there probably will be
enough delegations anxious to switch
their votes to give him the required
two-thirds figure of ITO without the
necessity Of a second roll call.

DECREASE IN
GRID DEATHS

NEW YORK, Nov. 90. U.P)-
Football fatalities were reduced
approximately so per cent in the
playing season of 1882. presumably
through drastic revision of the
rules under which, last year, so
young men lost their lives in the
sport.
A United Press compilation to-
day showed that 35 youths died
this year as the direct or indirect
result of play. Two children, one
10 and the other 6, lost their lives
through injuries indirectly attrib-
uted to the game.
Only four of the victims we're
college students. and only one of
these died from an injury received
in a varsity game. He was Ralph
Mcclure of Colorado college, who
received a fractured neck in a
game against Colorado university.
The rigorous regulations adopted
at the close of the 1881 season,
largely through the efforts of the
late E. K. Hall, chairman of the
football rules committee, resulted
from an almost unprecedented
death toll, which reached approx
Imately so in that season.
A majority of the deaths this
season, the United Press analysis
shows, were incurred in sand lot"
games, and many of the fatalities
resulted from infections arising
from minor cuts or bruises
