Will Request Return
OF Samuel insult

Washington, Aug. 25.-(P-Ihe JUS
tice department. announced Friday
that formal request for the extradi-
ton of Samuel insult had been pre-
sented to the Greek government based
upon new indictment of insult and
10 others charging violation Of the
bankruptcy laws.
The offense charged is cause for
extradition under most existing trea-
ties and it is upon the new indictment
that the United States will seek to
bring the former utilities king back
from his refuge in Athens, Greece.
Department officials refrained from
comment lest premature statements
Interfere with the steps being taken
IN Athens where the American lega-
ton is cooperating closely with a JUS
tice department representative.
It was understood officials hoped to
make a stronger case for extraditiou
than that presented several months
ago when a Greek judge declined to
permit the American government to
bring the elderly insult back to face
Charges in connection with collapse OF
his utilities empire.
Since then the Chicago states at.
torney's office has been working to
assemble additional evidence on
which to base the new move now be-
ing launched.

supreme court Thursday to L. Isensee,
Fargo. garage man, convicted In the
Cass county district court of setting
fire to personal property with intent
to defraud an insurance company.

court granted the new trial on the
ground that evidence offered by the

European Nations Will Begin
Lowering Barriers When
Figure Is Reached
BASE PRICE IS 81 CENTS

London, Aug. 25.-(P)-The interna-
tional wheat conference conquered
tariff and price difficulties Friday by
arriving at final agreement which
ties in wheat importing nations with
a broad program designed to boost
the price of the grain by cutting pro-
duction and stimulating consumption.
The chief barrier to this agreement
has been the question of how high
the price Of wheat must go before the
importers would lower their tariffs.
This problem was met by compro-
mise.
Signing Is Delayed
The final decision was that tariffs
should be lowered when wheat re-
mains for four months at price
equivalent to 63.o8 U. 8. cents in
gold per bushel.
Calculated at the value of the
American dollar today compared with
tho gold American dollar, this Is
equal to 50 cents q bushel. THIS
quotation will fluctuate from day to
day as the value Of the American
dollar fluctuates In the terms Of for
eign exchange.
I'm terms Of today's dollar rate,
the exporting nations had asked that
importers cut tariffs after wheat had
remained at IS cents for four months
Importers had argued for a level be-
tween 80 and SO cents.)
It had been expected that the
agreement would be signed Friday but
this was delayed by last-mirute
hitch.
The official explanation was that
delay occurred in the preparation of
the French text Of the agreement.
The conference then adjourned un-
til Friday night.
Certain adjustments were being
made In the document, and it was
officially stated that all countries
were not expected to sign. These
were the smaller countries, 1t was
said, and the agreement will be left
open indefinitely for them to come in.
Meanwhile, those who do sign will
have Is days In which to retract their
signatures.
