Paris.—The United States govern-
ment has delivered to the reparations
commission a declaration explaining
the government’s withdrawal of its
representative from the commission.
The statement of withdrawal, which
■was delivered by Roland W. Boy don
of Beverly. Mass., who represented the
United States at the Brussels finan-
cial congress in 1920, and who is now
withdrawn, will involve also the de-
parture of about twenty ether Amer-
icans who are sub-commissions.
"I am instructed by my government
to announce the retirement of its un-
official representatives from the repa-
rations commission," the statement
says. "This decision has been reached
only after long hesitation and careful
consideration. All representation up-
on the commission was, in the begin-
ning, unofficial, in anticipation of rati-
fication of the treaty of Versailles by
the signatory powers.
“The other powers have ratified and
their representation has long become
official. The United States has not rati-
fied, and, as time has passed, its un-
official representation on the commis-
sion gradually has become anomalous.
“My government, under the forego-
ing conditions, has felt itself unable
to co-operate with the allied powers at
Brussels and elsewhere in the prepara-
tion of plans which seem to involve a
change in the treaty. It realizes fu--
ly the great difficulty of these prob-
lems and recognizes the value of uni-
fied action; but as it cannot at pres-
ent take part in such a discussion
even express any views upon subject
discussed, it feels that it is undesir-
able to retain even unofficial represen-
tation on a commission that is likely
to be charged with the execution of
such plans.
“My government instructs me fur-
ther to express its sincere appreciation
for the many courtesies which the com-
mission and its members have shown
the United States and its unofficial
representatives."

assistant chlaf of the United •tatea

Bills Introduced in Legislature Would
Take North Dakota’s Finances
Out of League's Hands.
Bismarck, N. D.—Bills designed to
take the finances of the state of North
Dakota out of the hands of the Non-
partisan League have been introduced
in the legislature here. The bills are
sponsored by the independents in the
legislature.
One measure would change the in-
dustrial commission personnel by sub-
stituting Thomas Hall, secretary of
state, and John Steen, state treasurer,
for Gov. Lynn Frazier and Attorney
General Lamke, who are leaders in
the Nonpartisan organization.
Another provision would limit the
expenditures for the state owned flour
y-,111 and elevator to 2 million dollars.
The second bill provides for the de-
positing of public money in private
banks and would take all state mon-
ies from the state bank of North
Dakota.
Pittsburg,' Kas.—Alexander Howat,
president of the Kansas miners’ union,
was found guilty of contempt of court
and sentenced to jail by Judge An-
drew J. Curran of the Crawford coun-
ty court district after a trial of the
case here.
With Howat were found guilty his
five co-defendants in ‘.he contempt
proceedings, also officers of the Kan-
sas union. They are August Dorchy,
vice president; Willard Titus, John
Fleming, James Mcllwrath and Hearl
Maxwell, executive board members.
All were sentenced to jail.
The six were convicted of violating
an injunction Issued last Septembei
by Judge Curran, forbidding them to
call a strike. The injunction was
sought by the state in the enforce-
ment of the industrial court law.
Howat and three other officials, one
of them being Dorchy, now are at lib-
erty is awaiting hearing in the United
States supreme court.
They were sent, to jail last spring
when they refused to obey the order
of Judge Curran to appear before the
industrial court and testify.
Judge Curran said that the Mackie
strike was called for the purpose of
evading the industrial court law.
Howat and the other defendants, he
said, had violated the injunction and
all are guilty.
Joe Bierbrodt, George Chlpps and
W. L. Hasson, offK"rs of a Croweburg
local union, tried recently for con-
tempt of court were found not guilty
by Judge Curran.
The local union officers were
charged by the state with fining two
union members who appealed a case
to the industrial court. The union has
a provision for a fine in such cases.
Judge Curran held it was not proved
that the two union members had been
fined.    *
Judge Curran overruled motion for
a new trial. The defense filed notice
of an appeal.
Bonds were fixed by Judge Curran
at $2,000 each. P. H. Callery, defense
counsel, said it would take twenty-
four hours to get bond. Judge Curran
released the officials upon their own
recognizance.
Kansas City.—A national grain mar-
keting association, controlled by far-
mers and operating terminal ware-
houses, export and finance depart-
ments and maintaining branch sales
agencies at the various terminal mar-
kets, is provided for in the grain mar-
keting adopted by the farmers' market-
ing committee of seventeen, which
has been insession here for several
days.
The new grain marketing system,
which the committee expects will ulti-
mately become a dominant factor in
the grain trade of the country, will
be a non-stock, non-profit association,
with membership limited to actual
grain growers. The plan, as now adop-
ted by the marketing committee, will
be submitted immediately to the va-
rious farm organizations in the coun-
try for their ratification and within a
comparatively short time it is expected
that a meeting of delegates of these
organizations will be called to act on
the plan at a large convention. This
convention will be called by Chairman
J. R. Howard of the National Farm
Bureau Federation.
Draft the New Plan,
The plan, according to an official
digest issued by the committee recent-
ly, comtemplates the incorporation of
a national sales agency in the form of
a non-stock, non-profit, grain growers
membership organization which would
provide for the marketing of grain by
virtue of contracts with farmers’ co-
operative elevator companies or local
cooperative associations to be formed
where local farmers’ co-operative ele-
vators do not exist.
The national sales agency will pro-
vide:
1.    Branch sales offices at impor-
tant grain markets to handle the grain
for each natural grain district.
2.    Terminal elevator service in con-
nection with branch sales office, eith-
er by contractual arrangements for
same, or through the organization of
a company, or companies, which
would leacse, buy or build terminal
elevators.
3.    Facilities for financing the mar-
keting of grain by country elevators
through the organization of a finance
corporation, with capital stock sub-
scribed for by the grower members.
4.    Facilities for marketing the ex-
portable surplus of grain through the
organization of an export corporation.
5.    Service departments furnishing
information covering local, national
and worldwide conditions, affecting
the grain trade, also information and
service in connection with trasporta-
tion, legal, statical and other prob-
lems.

AN -oil KING’ DISAPPEARED
Chicago Business Men Are Left “Hold-
ing Sack’’ to the Extent of
$300,000, Report Says*
Chicago. — Taxi drivers wondered
■what had become of the “oil king ’
who used to tip them with $100 bills.
Men given prominent mention in the
social register and Dun’s were won-
dering exactly the same thing.
Police, attorneys and others were
searching for Henry B. Sewell, who.
according to authorities, disappeared
leaving business men “holding the
sack” to the extent of about $300,000.
This is how he did it, according to
police;
Moved next door to Mayor Thomp-
son and won friendships in high
places. Purchased gasoline at the
market price and resold it from 3 to
7 cents less to large customers. Then,
after establishing a reputation as
"miracle man,” he collected $300,000
MUST CONSERVE OUR CREDIT
Washington. — War time expend-
itures and the profound modifications
of the country’s economic system
make it imperative, Governor Harding,
informed congress recently, in the an-
nual repoTt of the federal reserve
board, that “the utmost care be taken
to conserve our credit and preserve
the basis of our prosperity.” to avoid
the extreme conditions prevailing in
other countries.
“Upon the United States in a large
measure,” the governor declared, “the
solvency and financial stability oi
many other countries depend. This
fact greatly increases the responsibil-
ity which rests upon the American
banking system and calls for the ex-
ercise of sound judgment and the
strict observation of sound financial
and economic principles.’’
ANOTHER HUGE MAIL THEFT

Postoffice Clerks and Escape
With Eleven Sacks.
TELEGRAPHIC BREVITIES
—Carrying $70,000,000 more than it
did when it came from the house, the
annual postoffice appropriation bill
was passed recently by the senate.
Its'total is $574,000,000 It now goes
back to the house.
—Somewhere In the hills of Boone
County, Ark., several miles south ol

seriously
Toledo, O.—Five bandits drove up
to the postoffice at 2 o’clock in the
morning and held up the clerks at
the point of revolvers, seized eleven
sacks of mail, six of them registered,
and made their escape.
Postal employees admitted that the
loss may total nearly million dol-
lars. The police say that the loss in
currency alone may have been be-
tween $300,000 and $400,000.
The men held up were Charles Mtl-
roy, postoffice clerk; Paul Weirich
and Joseph Hughes, railway postoffice
driver and clerk, respectively.
The mail had just been removed
from an incoming train at union sta-
tion and was about to be carried into
the postoffice, a mile distant, when
the robbers drove up in their motor
car, and forced the clerks to lie face
downward on the pavement.
Four minutes elapsed from the time
the robbers drove up to the postoffice
until they had seized the sacks and
were on their way.

were celebrating their new year w ith
gorgeousness and light hearts they
are now intrenched behind closed
doors, shuttered windows and hidden
deep from possible enemy attack.
In San Francisco, the war opened

New Year celebration, the six began
firing point blank at each other. One
was killed, another may die from
wounds and two others were serious-
ly wounded.
At Los Angeles, three Chinese were
shot down, two dead. One merchant
was killed at a card game, another as

Cleveland, O.—Miss LouiBe Wolt
and Miss Mabel Foote, two young
school teachers at the Parma night

school.
The teachers were last seen leaving
the school building late in the after
