times by boosting buying power en-
rolled In legions Tuesday by tele-
grams to the white house.
Preparing to tage stock Of his pro-
grams progress at a meeting with the
recovery council" President Roose-
welt was described as highly pleased
with the more than 5000 pledges OF
support received before the day was
half done.
The postoffice department. made
ready to post the "honor" rolls In its
branches in every city and hamlet, so
members Of the community might

to raise wages and restrict working
hours.
Members Of the cabinet and adj

reams Of material for review at the
afternoon session In the executive Of

will lead to any shifts In the attack
remains to be seen.
Hugh s. johnson, administrator OF
the industrial law, and his aides, pro-

the proposed codes to govern the oil,
lumber, rayon weaving and wool in

The presidents appeal was terse:
I'VE are not going through another
winter like the last. -. 1t Is time
for courageous action, and the re-
covery bill gives us the means t.
conquer unemployment. -.
1.-THE proposition is simply this:
Should Act Together
IF all employers will act together
to shorten hours and raise wages we
can put people back to work No
employer will suffer, because the re-
lative level Of competitive cost will
advance by the same amount for all.
But if any considerable group should
lag or shirk, this great opportunity
will pass us by and we will 60 into
another desperate winter. This must
not happen ;.

EXECUTIVE ACTION
ON BEER IS ASKED
Sponsors of Initiated Measure
! to Talk With LANCER on
Special Election

Governor LANCER may decide to call
a special election on the initiated beer
bill in the near future.
A committee representing the petit
TONERS for the initiated measure,
headed by Usher L. Burdick, Fargo
attorney, and Charles Stretch, former
member of the legislature from Bot
tineau county. will meet with the gov
ernor Tuesday afternoon and believe
that a decision will be reached at the
conference.
September % Is the earliest date
at which an election can be called,
according to Stretch and Mike Egan
Of Bottineau, who have been in Bis
marck for several days in an effort to
obtain a meeting with the governor.
There has been considerable talk OF
a special session Of the legislature as
being more economical than a special
election, but 1t is pointed out that
there are at least 80 members Of the
legislature at present on the state pay
roll and it Is contended that they
will be unable to serve in the legisla-
ture after being employed by the state.
There is no assurance, II a special
session Is called, that . majority Of
the members would vote for the legal
ization Of the sale Of beer. The bill
that was passed at the last session
had bare majority of one vote In the
house. The sentiment of the men,
bers, 1t is pointed out, may not have
changed to any extent.
II q special election Is called on the
initiated law, the voters also will vote
on the referred law which was pass
ed by the last session of the legisla-
ture. This provided for the establish
ment of municipal liquor stores.
Supporters Of the initiated law point
out that the state Is losing an i'm
mense revenue due to the fact that
the state has no law licensing the sale
Of beer. They contend that the pres
ent prohibition laws are being flag
rantly violated in every city, town and
village of the state and that the adj
joining states of Minnesota and Mon
tana are profiting from the licenses
on beer shipped into North Dakota.

FLUCTUATIONS

Washington, July 25.-(R-Farm
administrators and representatives Of
grain exchanges Tuesday agreed ten.
tatively to limit daily fluctuations in
prices on wheat and other grains to
5 cents bushel as a permanent
policy.
The agreement was reached before
the close of a two-day conference at
which four principal changes in grain
marketing practices were approved, :
The first, the daily fluctuation limit
at five cents, in order to obtain final
approval, must be submitted for &C.
ton to the business conduct commit
tees Of the Chicago Board Of Trade
and exchanges at Minneapolis, Kan
sas City, Duluth and other points
which ordinarily operate along rules
similar to those at Chicago.
The second provision will be the re-
duction OF the holdings of futures by
any trader to q maximum volume,
probably from 100000 to 100000
bushels, the exact figures to be de-
termined later after exchanges have
survived the situation.
The third provision calls for in
creasing margins or traders. In this
instance the exact figure was left un-
determined and probably none will be
fixed. Rules of the exchanges now
require that brokers insist upon "ade-
quate margins" from traders.

ton that higher margins should be
employed than have been In practice

exchange representatives will be the

and daily indeminities. This has al.

ton.
Since last Thursday, limits on daily
fluctuations to eight cents bushe1
on wheat, five on corn and three cents
on oats have been employed under a
special rule Of the exchanges.
Administrators informed Peter 3.
Carey, president of the Chicago Board
of Trade, that President Roosevelt re-
garded eight cents as too large mar
gin of fluctuatlon.
The five-cent per bushel fluctuation
will apply to wheat, rye and barley,
with four cents on corn and three
cents on oats.

CHICAGO CANISTER
ANDPALS ARE HELD
IN HAMM ABDUCTION
Will Be Removed BY Federal
Men to st. Paul to Face
Charges There

Milwaukee, Wis.,, July 25.-(AP)
The federal government was strik-
ing at the kidnap racket Tuesday,
aiming at Roger Touhy, Chicago
gang chieftain, and three of his as
sociates as the alleged abductors Of
William Harm, Jr., wealthy St. Paul
brewer.
Touhy and his three lieutenants
were closely guarded in.the county
Jail here while the government pre-
pared to ask their removal to St.
Paul, where they face charges of
kidnapping Hamm. Hamm was seized
near the Theodore Hamm brewery
of which he is president, on June Is
and held nearly four days until pay
ment of 100000 ransom freed him.
The government planned to take
Touhy and his men before U. S.
Commissioner Floyd E. Jenkins
Tuesday. Federal authorities said
they believed the gangsters would
resist removal. In that event, a
hearing would be held before Federal
Judge F. A. Geiger.
The warrants naming Touhy and
his men, Willie Sharkey, Eddie Nc
Fadden and GLOOMY Gus" Schaeffer,
were drawn under the new anti-kid-
naping law. They charge interstate
transportation of Hamm, specifically
that he was taken from St. Paul Ito
the vicinity of Beloit and GAINESVILLE"
Wis.
Melvin Purvis, chief Of the U. S.
Bureau of Investigation at Chicago,
said the government has positive
Identification of all four men. He
declined to say whether Hamm, who
viewed the men in Chicago on SUM-
day, made the Identification. How
ever, Hamm said in St. Paul last
night he was not able to identify
any of the four as the men who
seized him June Is and held him un-
til payment of 100000 ransom.
Touhy and his men were brought
here late Monday from Elkhorn,
Wis, where they were held in Jail
for several hours after being rushed
back into Wisconsin from Chicago.
They were arrested at Elkhorn
last Wednesday after an automobile
accident. Federal officers immedi-
ately took charge and without cere-
mony sped them to Chicago for ques-
tioning about the $4,000 kidnapping
Of John Factor, the Spectator.
Back in Elkhorn, fugitive from
justice charges were served on the
'gangsters and they were brought on
to Milwaukee.

COUNTY TO RESIST
FOOTING BILL FOR
MARTIAL Law HERE
Guards Were Called Out By
Governor to Prevent Fill
ing Of Petitions
BILL BELIEVED NEAR $500
Assistant Adjutant General,
However, Denies Decision
Has Been Made
BILL BELIEVED NEAR $500

Burleigh county will resist any at
tempt by the state to make this coun-
ty pay expenses incurred by the Ma
tional Guard during martial law in
the city OF Bismarck June l and 2,
George F. Will, veteran member of
the board of county commissioners,
said Tuesday.
Though the state has presented no
formal bill yet, Will said, it is under
stood that the state expects Burleigh
county to pay the cost of the military
demonstration.
Assistant Adjutant General Herman
A. Brocopp said, however, that the
administration has not yet reached a
decision to charge the county for the
expense incurred. It Is possible, he
said, that salaries for the guardsmen
may come from the military fund. De-
claring that National Guard expenses
incurred so far this year are mot
very high" Brocopp said that the
military fund is sufficient to take care
Of expenses incurred so far.
ASAO SVsSSuSO 4AvVkSCO
A 1913 statute says "all officers and
enlisted men, while on duty or as
sembled therefor, pursuant to the
orders of the governor Of the state,
sheriff of county, or mayor of city,
or any other civil officer in case of
riot, tumult, breach of the peace, re-
sistance to process or whenever called
upon in aid Of civil authorities, shall
receive the pay set forth in section u
OF this chapter; and such compensa-
ton and the necessary expenses In

incurred for pay, care and subsistence

orarily disabled in the line Of duty,
while on such duty, as set forth in
section SO of this chapter shall be
paid by the county where such service
is rendered"
Burleigh county'S resistance to pay
ing the bill is expected to be based up
on the contention that Burleigh coun-
ty did not ask for martial law, was
powerless to stop 1t when the governor
ordered 1t and that the governor has
publicly admitted several times since
that he called out the guardsmen to
prevent filing Of highway bill referen-
dunn petitions Governor William
LANCER, in declaring martial law, said
that the military functions would be
restricted to the capitol building con-
struction site. The capitol strike was
in progress at that time.
Understood Around $500
Commissioner Will said he under
stood the expense Of the martial law
here was around $500" and declared
that the state will have to 70 to
court to get it from Burleigh county
With National Guardsmen having
been called out in several other coun-
ties to prevent mortgage foreclosures
under order of Governor LANCER, sew

similar to that of Burleigh county.
Other counties in which the guards
have been called out include Wells.

LAND DEPARTMENT
Will ENCOURAGE
LOAN REFINANC|NG
Second Mortgage BY Land
Loan Commissioner Used
to Pay Taxes and Interest

The state land department will re-
finance its loans, as far as possible
through the United States land bank
commissioner, according to Deputy
Commissioner Thomas Devaney.
The land bank commissioner can
make a loan on an appraised valua-
ton of IS per cent and can take a
mortgage on the land on that basis
less the amount Of the first mortgage
The loans will be obtained on the
same basis as those being negotiated
by the Bank of North Dakota.
The money secured on the second
mortgage will be used to pay back
taxes and interest owing to the state
land department and the department
will agree with the land bank COM
missioner not to foreclose on the first
mortgage for a period Of tom three
to five years without the consent OF
the commissioner.
While the land department cannot
negotiate these loans directly, it Is
encouraging farmers who have bor-
rowed money from the state to re-
finance their loans where possible
and Is assisting in making out the
necessary papers required by the land
bank commissioner.
The department has made no mort
gage foreclosures since October OF
November 1882, Devaney said. About
100 foreclosures are pending In the
attorney generals office at the pres
ent time" he said. However, we
are not foreclosing II the owner OF
the land objects" he continued. I'm
other words we are living up to the
provisions Of the governors morator-
ium."
Collections have been exceptionally
good during the last two months, said
Devaney. He believes the increase in
collections Is due to the rise in the
price of farm products, especially in
the price Of wheat. Some Of the mort
cages which were about to be fore
closed on have been reinstated when
the interest and part of the principal
has been paid during the past six OF
seven weeks
THE department will be unable ia
make any further farm loans until
interest and principal on mortgages
now In arrears are paid up" said De-
vaney. 1.-THE department Is required
to loan one-third Of its income on
farm lands and the balance must be
invested in municipal and school
bonds. At present we are overloaned
for the reason that the department
has been compelled to pay taxes where
the mortgage has been unable to
meet his obligations. which adds ia
the amount already loaned very ma
terially," he said. Bond payments by
municipalities have been exceptional
~ good during the last three months
Devaney said.

UNCLE WIGGILY'S QUEER
VOYAGE

Uncle Wiggily felt quite brave
and bold, like a sailor, as he stood
upon the deck of his ocean raft and
started off on what was to be a
queer sea voyage. Yes, the old rab-
bit gentleman stood upon the deck,
for there was no other place for
him to stand.
A raft, you know. is the kind Of
boat that is all deck. OF course
there are some RATS, made of lum-
Der logs. which have deck houses
on them. But generally RATS are
all deck. Anyhow, that's the kind
Uncle Wiggily had when he went
sailing.
He wasn't exactly sailing, either,
for his raft had no sail. Neither did
it have a steam engine on it to
make it like steamer, nor even
a drop of gasoline to make it a
motor boat.
But the tide which had been
slack water was now going out and
carrying the rabbit gentleman and
his raft with it as, sometimes, the
tide takes you out when you are
swimming.
Happy voyage! Happy voyagei'

4 NERVY MAN

Something in the way of commendation
is certainly due Walter Gillette, distri-
buting officer at San Quentin prison, for
the iron nerve he displayed yesterday
The prison official was confronted by
a desperate criminal, one of the Folsom
Thanksgiving day rioters,' who in
formed him that the officer must give
him his freedom or the convict would set
off a charge of dynamite which he had
concealed about his person.
Full details, in most convincing lam
guage, were conveyed to the official by
means of letter which the convict pre-
sented to him. Anyone reading it could
not help but be impressed to the point of
believing it true. There was ring of
desperate sincerity about it which would
cause anyone to think considerably be-
fore going contrary to its instructions.
The true character Of the convict was
known to the officer. There was little for
the latter to gain by opposing the pris-
oner's desires. TIL latter's expressed de-
termination to blow all parties to smith
Greens could be taken for justification
had the officer acquiesced to the letters
demands
Instead, he called the convict's bluff"
A swinging blow to the jaw and stern
command to go outside and get rid of the
dynamite. was met with meek compli-
ance. TIL convict went out and removed
his dynamite" which proved to be
lengths of broomstick camouflaged to
represent the deadly explosive.
This fact does not detract from the
courage of the officer. He had every
reason to believe the convict was con-
fronting him with the real thing. Gill
lette may not get a medal, or anything
more than praise from superior Off
Ger, but many medal wearers obtained
them for showing less nerve than he did.

it, as any who were up early today can

DIR. PALMER
WAS WORRIED

DR.. r. l.. Palmer spent a very
worried night last night. He ad-
mitted as much today to The Press,
which was, unfortunately, the cause
of the chiropractor's worry.
Yesterdays issue carried an item
saying that Mrs. r. L.. Palmer and
children had returned from the
coast. Today the doctor claimed
he had looked all night long for his
family, but had failed to find them
and waled to know from The
Press "how Gomez"
He vehemently denied that he
had any reason to feel apprehenSivc
about an unheralded return anu
stoutly declared he is going over to
the coast to spend the holiday with
his family.
Investigation developed that yes
terday's item should have read Mrs
E. l.. Palmer (for heavens sake get
that E in Mr.. Printer. The report
er who took the item claimed he
wrote it "E", the linotype man said
he set it "E' and the proofreader
says it was an e., SO the office
