ments are to be presented to Judge
Andrew Miller in federal court here

the First National Bank Of Grand
Forks In which the plaintiffs seek to

/, 1888.
The mill and elevator seeks TO have
its deposit, amounting to approxi-
mately ~. 900. half Of which already
has been paid, designated as . pre-
ferred claim. It alleges the money
was wrongfully deposited In the bank
because 1t was not covered by . de-
pdsitor's bond and therefore the
money merely was held In trust by
the bank.
The bank receiver claims no bond
was required and that the money de-
posted by the state mill and elevator
was merely one Of numerous general
deposits and that 1t In no way was
construed as . trust fund.
A final hearing at which testimony
was taken was held Friday. It wa
the third hearing since the case wa
begun more than year ago. previous
hearings having been held at Bis
marck and Grand Forks.

President Roosevelt disclosed FRI

NYE CLAIMS PROBE
Big AID TO PEACE
Senator Says Disclosures Have
Done More Than All Dis
armament Conferences

Chicago, Nov. 1O-lP)-1he senate
munitions inquiry disclosures, 6ena-
tor Gerald p. Nye (R-ND) asserted
Friday night, has done more for the
cause Of peace than all the disarm-
ament conferences ever held"
Senator Nye. who addressed an au
dience at international House Of the
University Of Chicago, said the In
quiry committee, Of which he is
chairman, will start another series OF
hearings next month.
Nothing will stop us from getting
to the bottom Of every form OF arma,
ment racket" he said. I'VE are de.
termined to expose the vicious system
Of promoting suspicion and ill-will
among nations"
I'VE are in constant danger Of be-
ing drawn into more war SO long as
we permit the munitions industry to
keep us whipped into the suspicious
and fearful frame Of mind which
makes possible the continuation of
the insane competitive race between
nations to determine which are the
best prepared for war.
Sixteen years after the end Of the
World war we find the world spend
ing more getting ready for another
war than it ever before spent in pre-
paredness. Nations which are having
great difficulty in balancing their
budgets are increasing their num-
tions expenditures, decidedly to the
advantage Of the munitions makers
Europe has increased Its budget
in preparation for war to from 80 to
10 per cent above what it was in 1913,
while over the same span the United
States has increased its arms budget
1877 per cent. America is spending
more getting ready for war than any
other nation"
Senator Nye condemned the profits
which arise from the sale Of war ma
terials and pointed to the disclosure
that the du Pont family In the four
years of the World war had made
more than 400 per cent on its NUM-
tions plant investments. while men
were sacrificing their lives and their
health" for $50 . month and less.
