E^udapeaCv Oct. 26.—(By the Asso
ciated Press.)—Former Emperor
Charles was today awaiting the deci
sion of the Allied nations regarding
his exile from Hungary to some place
where he will be prevented in futtire:
from disturbing the peace of this
country and central Europe. The
erstwhile monarch and his wife were
interned at the Benedictine Abbey- .at
Tihany, on Flatten Lake, about fifty
miles- southwest of here, and the col
lapse of his attempt to regain the
Hungarian throne was considered
complete.
It seemed probable that Charles
and Zita would remain at the Abbey
for some time, as the Allies wer£ be
lieved to be disposed to go slowly in
choosing his future place of residence.
There apparently has been no evident
desire on the part of the entente na
tions to place him on St. Helena, or
any other distant island, as such ac?
tion would make Charles assume the
role of a martyr in the eyes of his
followers. At the same time, it .ap
peared to be -evident that it would be
difficult to "Tlnd a refuge for him on
the European continent.
It was believed today that severe
punishment would be meted out to
the men who aided Charles in his at
tempt to resume royal prerogatives,
and fought for him against the Hun
garian government.
Budapest, Oct. 26.—(By the Asso
ciated Press.)—The-Hungarian gov
ernment today formally asked former
Emperor Charles to abdicate and to
recognize the complete cessation of
his dynastic rights. He was ordered
to surrender himself to British au
thorities and was told that an answer
to these demands was expected today.
Mystery Of Finding

New York, Oct. 26.—With,another'
promising set of clues broken down,
the police' started afresh today in
their efforts to identify the dismem
bered body of a young woman found
in a pond at Long Island City last
Saturday, and to trace her slayer.
K- positive identification jf the vic
tim as Bertha Becker, a domestic,
made last night by a woman who
gave the name of Mrs. Elisabeth
Richards of Jersey City, was over
turned when the police learned that
the address given by the woman was
fictitious aijd that the real Mrs.
Richards was ill in a hospital. The
woman had advanced a theory that
'the victim's legs had been severed to
prevent identification by ineans of a
German iron cross and the initials
"B. B-" which she Baid had been
tattooed above one of Bertha Becker's
knees....

This portion which The Herald pifnts in black face type speaks for
ittelf,:.
Dear.. Sir:
Replying to yours of October 15, we are enclosing herewith an
application, UlaOIt for a farm loan, live rate of interest from now on
Will be 6% per cent. The loan can fun 30 years, or you can pay all or
any part you wish any year, which isra very desirable loan.
As to the exact date that we would be able to serve you we cannot
state1 at this time for the reason that there are a number of applications
on file now, and it is the policy of the bank to serve every farmer in
his turn.
However, the prospccts for the Bonk of North Dakota making
farm loans are very bright at the present time, for the reason that
we have sold a large block of bonds to one of the widest bonding
houses in the United States, and from what they tell us we have
every rcaaon to believe ~thot they will continue to buy our bonds in
large amounts from now on, PROVIDING OF COURSE THAT THE
"FARMERS AND THEIR WIVES GET OUT TO THE ELECTION
ON THE 28TH AND SEE TO IT THAT YOUR PROGRAM IS
CARRIED OUT FROM TOP TO BOTTOM. THIS WILL HAVE A
VERY GOOD EFFECT ON THE SALE OF OUR BONDS FROM
NOW ON.
We just received a telegram last Saturday from this bonding house
stating that they had placed $700,000 more to our credit. Therefore, we
are increasing the force in the ,fam loan department with a view of
getting this money to the farmers, at an early date, knowing that the
greatest thing that can be done for North Dakota is to procure cheap
money for farm loans. So please bear,with us and we will try to take
care of your interest at the very earliest possible date.

Chicago, Oet 26.—(By the Associ

road labor board's hearing to de
termlne whether the big four brother
hoods and the switchmen's union
have violated or are preparing to vio
late the wage cut decision of July 1,':
got under way today with a public
airing of the inner politics of the rail
unions which led to the taking of a
separate strike ballot. by' the train
men.
W. G. Lee, called to the stand by
Ben W. Hooper, who is 'prosecuting
attorney" for the board, declared the
strike ballot' of the other four organi
zations violated his understanding of'
what the transportation act provided,
Lee said he withdrew from the joint
meeting when the other unions pre--'
pared a statement to accompany the!
ballot in which they referred to pro
posed wage cuts and ruleB revfe4rns,
not yet decided by the board, as
among the questions at istrae.
Lee told the board he Understood
the July 1 wage cut was the only
question on which a strike could
legally be called.
Wrangle Over Roll Call.
Taking of the testimony of the
I brotherhood chiefs followed more
than an hour of wrangling over'. the
roll call. Warren S. Stone, president'
•f the Brotherhood of Locomotive
Engineer*, objected to the roll call of
his general chairmen, and when the
board finally undertook to call their
names it was discovered the .chairmen
had obeyed Stone's instructions and
ignored the board's, order to attend

Mr. Stone's frequent objections to
the proceedings and to the activity of
photographers kept the meeting in an
uproar for some time. At the noon

a diversion by chasing a photographer
