'viSuch movement will be for a limited 'wheat marketing and thus bring about an increase in diversified farming which is so necessary.” The delegation further asked that a reduction on freight rates in wheat :ind flour be made but said the Pres ident had made no- promises to them other than that he consider their request with Ins advisers.

BOW RED CROSS ROLL MONEY IS SPENT EXPLAINED BY WORKERS Goes For Relief Work in Burleigh County Social Worker Fills Need in Community and Does Vast Amount of Work in the Relief of Unfortunate Persons and Families “How does the Red Cross spend the money it takes in during Roll Call?” This question is being asked as plans for the drive which opens next Monday, Oct. t, approaches. The answer to the question is that most of the money taken in will be spent for relief work in Bismarck and Burleigh county. A small portion will be used to pay the overhead ex penses of the local Red Cross office. The next question asked is “How do the people know that this money is being spent iir the most economi cal way?” In reply to this investi gation shows that a committee com posed of local business men check up and give their approval before any check can be signed and. sent out of the office. Have Trained Worker Further, a trained social worker who is employed jointly by the coun ty, the. city, and the Red Cross, is first called in to investigate all cases requiring financial assistance from any or all of these three sources. She looks N into the case with' U view to placing the family back upon a self supporting basis if possible,—and Jtries to make the re lief given extend over as short a period of time as possible. She first visits the home, talking to members of the family and those intimately interested in the family; then reports her findings to the committee with whom she works or representatives of the county, the city, and the Red Cross secretary recommending that certain action appears advisable. The committee take the case under consideration and then given their approval or dis approval, or may go further and urge changes.

The con flict between Governor J. C. Walton and the lower house of the Okla homa legislature developed today in to a finish fight as the luwmakers prepared to take their cause to the courts. Meanwhile the state is in doubt as to the official status, of its lower legislative branch. The dramatic action of the nation al guardsmen in dispersing on or ders 4f the governor, 66 house mem bers who gathered yesterday in the stae cupitol at their own call to con sider impeachment charges left the executive victorious after the first brush. But the contention of the leg islators that the house formally was convoked notwithstanding the mili tary interference presented the un precedented problem which a court must* solve. From the maze of charges and counter-charges revolv ing about Governor Walton’s fight against mob violence and masked depredations In Oklahoma has ap peared a tense situation which ob servers say is a prelude to a spec tacular climax. The use of military forces to com bat “hooded outrages” will continue until domination of one-third of the counties in the state by the Ku Klux Klan is broken, the governor said. Within the next few hours, he added, he will place another county under rigid martial luw at the request of some of its citizens. Rumor has it that Murray counfy 4s the one id which he refers, although this.found no confirmation in quarters. FuHtical enemies of the governor, including • lHafiy of the legislators, who signed the call for the session charged (Hat by his official acts, par ticularly the use of the military in the war on the Ku Klux Klan, the executive has overthrown constitu tional government and assumed the powers of a dictator. Oklahoma City, Sept. 27. activities were extended to a third county -in Oklahoma today as prep arations were made by members of the house of representatives to in stitute injunction proceedings in the district court to prevent interference with a session of the legislature. “The fight so far as it concerns the house is over,” -Gov. Walton said. He followed that when court ac tion was begun by the solons he probably would not appeur. Questioned concerning the possi bility that martial law might be made less stringent throughout the state the chief executive said: “As soon as I am'assured that the opposition against the visible gov ernment is crushed I will be ready contract the military power.” TROOPS AT WAGONER Wagoner, Okla., Sept. 27. —A party of 50 state soldiers arrived here to day unannounced.

Immediately following the" inquest at 2 p. m. yesterday, charges of first degree murder were filed against Roman Furst, for whom Smith Was working when last seen, Couflty At torney W. George Hammett stated. Just as the sun was going down Sheriff ■ P. E. Malvey, in charge of the search, directed a workman to dig into a slight depression which he had noticed a short distance ahead of the plowed area The skeleton was found at once. Coroner O. C. Beck and County Attorney Hammett were notified and u coroner's jury selected at the grave. The body was brought to Moorhead Tuesday night and an inquest was held at 2 p. m. yesterday at the Wright & Sons chapel. \ Worked by Light With the glare of automobile head lights illuminating the field, the skel eton wbb exhumed from the grave. A hasty examination in the dim light showed that the skull had been crushed, Mr. Hammett said. There was no sign of a bullet wound, as far as could be determined. The grave, lying north and south, was about two feet deep—pot over two and one-half feet —Mr. Hammett said. The posilion of .the bones, which had fallen apart, indicated that the body had been hastily tum bled into the grave. It was lying on its face, slightly on the left side und the knees and hips had been doubled up so that the toes were turned down, the' heels being higher than the toes. The grave was too short for the body. ' Grave on Edge of Field The grave was found near the north edge of a 40-acre field, with no trees or other marks by which it might have been located, nearer than u neighbor’s fence, 80 rods to the south. This field is a part of a larger field containing some 300 or 400 acres, Mr. Hammett said, and is about a mile from the farm build ings. The crime is believed to have beeu committed in Wilkin county about 100 rods from the Wilkin-Clay coun ty line. Furst and his companions are alleged to have carried the body in a buggy, from the scene of the criqip, through the fence south of the field in which the grave was found. Prisoners Point Out Field In a search of the field, indicated by the companions of Furst, Carl Marwitz, Fred Marwitz, and Leonard Mallinger who are being held in con nection with the case, as the one in which Smith was buried, Sheriff Mhlvey two weeks ago dug just at the edge of the depression which marked the grave, but did not find the skeleton 1 . Tuesday evening, he said, he be came dissatisfied with the results of his previous digging and ordered one of the men to dig there again. The body was almost immediately reach ed. About three acres of the field had been plowed during the ptst three days in an effort to locate the grave and the flowed area extended to within a few rods of the grave when work stopped Tuesday A fur-, roW nipe inches deep was dug by the plow and the earth carefully ex amined as the plow passed through it. It was believed that the grave would be revealed by the difference in tex ture of the ground and possibly by discoloration due to the mixing of the subsoil and the top soil. Field Seeded TVlce The search was made wore diffi cult by the fact the field had teen plowed after the, murder it alleged to have been committed, a crop of barley grown in 1821, the field again flowed and' sown to-winter try* in the fall of 1821. PRICE FIVE CENTS EMERGENCY IS DECLARED BY CABINET Action Follows That of Ba varia in Placing Military Government in Control MINERS QUIT WORK General Strike Is Declared in Opposition to Giving Up $ Passive Resistance Paris, Sept. 27.—The German government has practically been handed over to a military dicta torship, according to Berlin dis patches. The situation ia re garded as full of dangerous pos sibilities but as furnishing no basis at present for any action on the part of the allies. Berlin, Sept. 27. —At a hurriedly called midnight session of the Ber lin cabinet attended by General Von Seeckt, chief of staff, the immediate proclamation of a state of emergency throughout Germany was decided up on and Minister of Defense Gessler was given executive authority to put into force any military or police measures he might deem warranted in the circumstances. This action is construed in Paris, London and other quarters as virtu ally placing Germany in the hands of a military dictator. The action of the German govern ment was taken when news of the ap pointment of Dr. Von Kahr as mili tary dictator of Bavaria was re ceived and the proclamation issued was intended as an offset to the Bavarian manifesto. Bavaria’s action was wholly unex pected and the government leaders were at first at a loss to account for it. Although it is not viewed as a studied affront to the central govern ment the manner in which it was launched nevertheless was consider ed as a piece of censorial criticism of the way* fiC which the Berlin gov ernment haj called of passive re sistance in the Ruhr. This view_ prevailed despite asser tions from Bavaria that her meas ures were wholly prompted by the suspicious activity of the guards of Adolph Hitler, the national socialist leader and their allied organizations. Great nervousness prevailed in Munich and it is generally believed there, according to reports received by Berlin newspapers that i„itle.-, leader of the Bavarian Faacistl and favoring the separation of Bavaria from the German Reich thinks his time and intends to turn loose the forces which he commands. If he does so there are fears in some quarters that the would not be confined to Bavaria and it is un officially suggested that it was prob ably with this in mind that President Ebert issued the decree imposing a state of emergency throughout Ger many. MINERB’ STRIKE CALLED. Duesseldorf, Sept. 27. —The miners in Gelsenkirchen and Recklinghausen and Wanne districts, the heart of Gelsenkirchen mine fields, declared a general strike today as the first step in protest against the Berlin government’s decision to give up passive resistance and also against the exploitation of the district of the Ruhr by the French.
