EARLY NAVAL TALK
FAILURE FORECAST
Japanese Circles in London
Also Are Fearing for
'35 Conference.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, June S.-Informed jap
anese quarters in London predicted to-
day the fiat failure of preliminary
naval conversations to be opened here
shortly by world powers.
The same source expressed fear also
that the 1885 naval conference would
be failure
Nothing much can be accomplished
at the preliminary discussions" the
authority said. "and the world can
be sure the conference of 1885 will be
doomed unless the powers are willing
to consider Japan's defensive needs"
Japan to Seek Parity.
Japan is expected to seek naval
equality with Great Britain and the
United States next year, rejecting the
5-5-3 ratio. On the other hand, 1t is
understood here, Great Britain or the
United States, or both, probably will
resist Tokio's claims.
Asked what subjects would be con-
sidered in the early conversations, the
Japanese sources replied:
Naturally only diplomatic questions
which are pretty generally known al
ready. We all know the conversations
first will decide where to hold the
conference This is only formality,
since London has been selected.
Second. the agenda for the con-
ference will be agreed upon in a gen.
eral fashion. Every one knows this
will pertain to subdivisions of the
conference, discussions which, after
all, are not of major importance
Technicalities To Be Stunned.
But the minute any one raises
technical matters early the converse
tions will abruptly end 1t woul be
foolish to talk of technical matters
before the conference
Therefore what can the converse
tions amount to?"

George Sylvester Viereck, whose
name has long been coupled with
German activities in the United
States and who claims q family rela-
tionship with ex-Kaiser Wilhelm, has
been summoned by Dickstein to tell
his committee of alleged monthly
payments of $l,750 received from the
publicity firm of Carl Byoir and asso-
ciates. who have publicity contract
with German railroads.
Carl Dickey, q partner in the Byoir
firm. testified before the committee
in Washington that his firm has q
Sc, 900 a month publicity contract with
the German Tourist Information Serv-
ice and that the payments to Viereck
were commissions for arranging the
contract.
Viereck. in defense of his part in
the negotiations, has charged that q
contract exists between Russian in
terests and Ivy Lee, publicity agent
Viereck has asked the committee why
it was wrong for the Germans to let

Seeks Data on Contract.
The committee plans to question
Viereck today concerning his knowl-
clude the Russian angle in its in
veStigation into propaganda activities
The National Guard phase OF the
inquiry developed from testimony be-
fore the committee of Frank M,itschin-
ski, former commander of the German
Stshlhelm here. Mutschlnski testi-
fed that the New York Stahlhelm had
drilled with rifles borrowed from the
New York National Guard.
It has also been charged before the
committee that the list Regiment OF
the New York National Guard has
sought recruits from the German or
ganization. A letter from Sergt. Gott-
Leb Haas of the list Is in evidence.
1t was to the chairman of the Stahl-
helm inviting steel helmet members to
join the Guard regiment and asserting
its personnel was already 20 per cent

Woman Wins Lawsuit
Brought Against Bank

Judge H. L. Berry. Mandan, has just
handed down a decision in closed
bank case. which may be of wide
spread interest.
Thousands of depositors have had
money tied up in closed banks. but
under the decision Mrs. Peter Burns,
New England, N D.. has just been
given a Judgment in the amount of
sl033 against the Northwestern Ma
tional Bank of Minneapolis, corre-
spondent bank Of the closed Farmers
and Merchants State Bank Of New
England.
Shortly before the New England
bank closed two years ago. Mrs. Burns
placed a check on an Iowa bank for
collection with the Farmers and Mer-
chants State bank. The Northwestern
bank at Minneapolis collected on this
draft and credited the New England
bank with the amount. When the
latter bank closed the Northwestern
seized the balance in the account to
apply on other Indebtedness. Mrs.
Burns sued for the minimum balance
Of the account.
The Minneapolis bank claimed it
might not be sued outside Hennepin
county. but service was secured upon
an agent of the bank in Hettinger
county. This question of jurisdiction
was decided in the North Dakota su-
preme court and the case went to
trial at Mott last October. Judge
Berry took the case from the jury and
rendered his decision recently for the
plaintiff.

Faro. N. D.. March l7.-lR-North
Dakota and Minnesota authorities
Friday night buried the Ratchet, for
the present at least, in the trucking
controversy between the two states
and agreed to temporary truce
which will permit North Dakota trucks
to operate In Minnesota border cities
and Minnesota trucks to operate into
North Dakota border cities and as far
rs the Armour and Company packing
plant at West Fargo.
The truce was declared at a meet
ing in the Cass county courthouse
here after . day In which all Mime
sofa for hire trucks had been stopped
BY deputy sheriffs from unloading
eargoes at the packing plant and
their operators told to take their
complaints before the Minnesota rail
road and warehouse commission.
Decision was reached to allow
6ucks to operate along the border as
they have in the past until decision
can be obtained from the Minnesota
attorney general as to just what Ii
cense requirements will have to be
met by North Dakota truckers.
Minnesota commission members
said that under provisions of the new
Minnesota laws truckers seeking in
terstate permits are compelled to first
produce a Minnesota license. This
means. 1t was pointed out, that North
Dakota truckers seeking interstate
permits, even though they wished on
~ TO operate in Moorhead, across the
border from Fargo, would be required
to take out Minnesota licenses before
m interstate permit could be issued
by the Minnesota commission.
Until the attorney general rules on
the question, North Dakota truckers
will be permitted to haul their cargoes
into Moorhead and other border towns
and Minnesota truckers can haul to
West Fargo, it was agreed.
Other conferences will be held be-
tween the North Dakota and Mime
pota authorities before any further
action Is taken.
