Santos rs Highest
Since Fall of 1882

For the first time since the fall
of 1882, Santos Is in the New
York spot market yesterday
crossed above the 10c mark. At
that time, as the result Of the
civil war in Brazil, which closed
the port of Santos, prices went
as high as 16c.
Coffee values have been ad-
vancing steadily for six weeks
and the announcement last night
that the Grain Sterilization Cor
poration had rejected all bids
for the 62,50O bags of Santos
coffee was bullishly construed by
the trade.
In the New York Coffee and
Sugar Exchange market, "sep-
temher Santos" sold on the open
ing at 10c even. On December /,
1888, the same delivery month
sold at &c, a gain of 100 points
or 1c in little more than a month.

CLOTH PRICES FIRM

NEW YORK. Jan. II GN.s.).-Coarse
yarn cloth prices were firm today. but
few advances were made in a market
that saw only scattered trading through
the session.
It was the first day in several on
which some of the more important num-
bers did not advance. Finished goods
movement was described as erratic, some
reports indicating that very good busi-
ness was being placed, while others left
the impression that trading was slower
than 1t should be.
Among both buyers and sellers there
was widespread confidence that prices
would work higher over the next few
weeks but there was little to indicate
that a runaway market was in the
offins

In Custer
CONTENDS CAUSE NEEDED
Effect Of Action Is Stay Of
Proceedings in Executives
Prior Petition

Powers Of Acting Gov. Ole H. Olson
to remove J. j. Weeks as tax COM
missioner were put to the test Sat-
urday in an action filed in Burleigh
county district court.
Brought on behalf OF Weeks. the
action asks a writ of certiorari be is
sued by the court, ordering the pro-
ceedingS in the removal action be
brought before the court for review
to determine whether Olsons order
Of removal shall be reversed.
District Judge Fred Jansonius is
sued an order to show cause, direct
ing Olson to show why the writ
should not be issued. The writ Is re-
turnable Aug. q.
Effect Of the new action was to stay
proceedings In prior petition brought
by Olson for q writ of mandate, di-
recting Weeks to turn over the office
to Lyman Baker, appointed by Olson
as tax commissioner.
In his petition for the writ, Weeks
maintains Olson Is attempting to re-
move him without cause or opportu-
nifty to defend any charges made
against him, and that Olson has Tex
ceeded the jurisdiction and authority
conferred upon him as acting COVER
nor of the state, by constitution and
statutes
Weeks further maintains Olson's
order of removal Is null and void and
In excess of constitutional authority
conferred upon the acting governor.
He also asserts Olson "unlawfully
and in disregard of the duties placed
upon him by statute" issued q certifi-
cate Of appointment to Baker as tax
commissioner.
Unless the said defendant is by
appropriate writ enjoined and re-
strained from exercising his jurisdic-
ton as acting governor Of this state

tuition and statutes Of this state, this
relator will be deprived of his office"
Weeks asserts. land said office will be
filled and duties thereof performed
by one appointed contrary to law and
to the great detriment OF the inter-
estS Of the state at large
Maintaining the question is one

points out he applied to the attorney
general for permission to maintain
the proceedings in the name of the
state and that such permission was
given by Satire.

mandamus proceeding brought by Oh
son. An order to show cause why he
should not turn over the office di-
rected arainst Weeks is returnable

VICTIMS OF NAZ|S'
PROSECUTION BACK
PLEbESCITE MOVE
Others Call Sunday Election
Childish Farce, Forced
To Cast Vote

Berlin, Aug. 18.-(P-Jews came
forward Saturday to support Adolf
Hitler in Sundays plebiscite, called
to approve his assumption Of the
powers of president.
A statement of the National Ger
man Society Of Jews said:
I'VE find ourselves in agreement
with the political testament OF the
honored Paul Won Hindenburg. To
the German fatherland belong also
the life and soul Of the German Jews
who do not know any other father
land"
The statement said that after the
postwar troubles I'VE welcome the
national awakening since January,
1888, although it has brought US sor-
row."
How one section of Berlin's Jewish
population feels about the plebiscite
however, was indicated in a state
ment OF several middle class Jews to
The Associated Press. They said they
would cast ballots because Nazi
pressure compels Vi" but these
votes will be blank.
This election Is q childish farce, y
said the wife Of a Jewish merchant.
The Nazis have checked up on the
residents Of our apartment house and
will see that we vote. The vigor OF
their electioneering shows they are
none too sure Of their ground"
The shouting and tumult Of the
Nazis' rapid-fire campaign for popu-
lar justification at the polls Sunday
subsidized Saturday.
In a speech at Hamburg the chan
cellor emphasized the need Of abso-
lutte loyalty among the storm troop
ers, whose ranks were "purged" by
bullets the weekend of June 80.

lilies.
Officials said that when the pro-

back to private hands it will be In
better shape and the cattle herds will
be vastly improved.
In buying drouth- menaced animals
which cannot be fed or watered by
their owners. the government Is Gull
ing out the less desirable animals.
This culling, they say, will be worth
millions Of dollars to the livestock in

sheep and goats to be bought, most
