RECALt THREATENS
STATE OFFICIALS
OF
NORTH
DAKOTA
Bismarck, S. D., Feb. 17. Threats
made Wednesday night to recall the
entire state government shook the
political structure of North Dakota.
Independents insisted that the
state industrial commission, charged
with responsibility for existing fin
ancial conditions, must resign or
submit to recall. ,
Nonpartisan league leaders asserted a
recall movement against the industrial
eommtaiiion would bring retaliation. This,
they said, would mean recall, procedure
against every state official.
The furore centers around financial
difficulties into which the stale govern
ment and scores of private Institutions
have been plunged.
& BA3TKS CLOSED
The industrial commission ordered the
state-owned bank to collect re-deposits
of public funds from small banks
throughout the Flicker Tall domain.
This step was ordered with a view to
liquidating the state bank, established
by the Non-Partisan league administra
tion two years ago. It was reported to
have been taken against the advice of
Arthur C. Townley, picturesque presi
dent of the league. A split was reported
. between President Townley and Vice
President William Lemke. whcAlnsisted
'on this method of liquidation. Then the
Storm broke.
Independents asserted forced collec
tions would result in the closing of 160
to 2oO banks in the state. They were
reported to be holding between $8,000,000
end $10,000,000 re-deposita o the state
bank and unable to meet the obligations.
The- Scandinavian-American bank at
Fargo was the first large institution to
fee! the pressure. It closed lis doors. In
all 85 banks have closed during the last
few months because of financial strin
gency and only two have reopened.
THREATS ARE DENIED
With between $30,000,000 and $35,000,
000 involved in North. Dakota banks, big
financial institutions of the Twin Cities
sought a way out. - That represents four
or five times the amount the state bank
had extended ia re-deposits to these in
stitutions. : j
The industrial , commission said that
sale of $6,eoo,000 worth of bends of the
state bank would tide ever the crisis.
These bonds were authorised two years
ago and never sold. The commission is
now awaiting offers from the Twin Cities
bankers to take up the issue. Secretary
Paddock of the commission ia now tn the
Twin Cities conferring with the bank
ers. Stories that the bankers have de
manded a "complete surrender", of the
Non-Psrtlsan league industrial pro
gram have been denied both by bankers
and league leaders. Leaguers termed it
"propaganda" and bankers said they
knew nothing of such demands, denying
that any tangible preposition of any
kind had been offered to them er prof
fered by them. ;
SAT CLAIMS PKOTEJf
Independents brought about a state
senate Investigation of the industrial
program the Non-Partisans have con
ducted during the last two years and are
now assisting a committee to probe the
staff-owned bank. They assert irregu
larities and mismanagement has been
proven and insist on recall of the Indus
trial commission, which has charge of
the bank's alfaira
Recall of the industrial commission
would have to be initiated by petition
and a referendum called.
Twin City Banks Interested
Minneapolis, Minn., Feb. 17. (U. P.)
Bankers of the Twin Cities must de
vise means to settle the financial diffi
culties of the North Dakota banks, in
the - opinion of Non-partisan league
leaders here today.
They eald the Twin City banks had
"six to eight times as much money in
volved in the North Dakota banks" as
the Non-partisan bank at Bismarck.
Twin City bankers denied that de
mands had been made on the Non
partisan league administration in North
Dakota for political reform preparatory
to financial assistance.
TONG MEN HERE :

Following a session that started
early in the morning, representatives
of the Jung Wah Way Gen. Chines
Peace society, Wednesday afternoon
reached an agreement -whereby ex
tension of the California ton g war
might be averted in Portland, it was
announced at police headquarters.
High officials of the Bing Kung-Bow
Leong and Hop Sing tongs, long rivals,
are said to have agreed that no occasion

liOVE OF 2 MEN FOB SLAVE
GUU LEADS TO DEATHS
i ' is UniW News)
San Francisco, Feb. 17. The young
rten of the Jung Ylng tong were mak
ing merry In their favorite restaurant
of Chinatown.
The lights burned brightly. Tables
groaned with food. The clash of cym
bals drowned a dozen dialects from old
China.
Luey Dow, pretty slave girl, property
of a Jung Ting man, piped a song of
love and flowers. Then Go Foin, two
gun man ef the Suey pn, looked in on
''the party." There was silence.
Foin sat down at the feast table of the
Jung Ying and none dared protest. He
looked long on Luey Cow as she sang.
Then he laid his hands upon her.
NOSE DARES STOP HIM
The cymbals stopped their clash. The
plaintive whine of the fiddled died. But
nor a Jung. Ying moved.
Not so Luey Dow. She flung aside
the feared Go Foin. He rose in wrath.
A knife flashed. Luey Dow sank
whimpering at his feet and her blood
stained the floor where- she had danced.
Go Fein walked slowly from the room.
None stayed his exit.
.
That was last November. The Jung-
Ting did not forget. And anuonr them
was Chew Chuey, who loved Luey Dow.
Tuesday night found Chew Chuey in
the Joss house of his father, burning
many paper prayers. With his praying
were five of his brothers of the Jung
Ting. -
And straightaway from the gods of
China they went to the abode of the
dread Go Foin.
CHEW CHUET I!T JAIL
Go Foin answered their knock at the
door with two guns in his hands. He
lived true to his reputation, for after
the barking ef guns had ceased three
of the Jung Ylngs lay wounded dropped
by the deadly fire ef Go Foin before
Go Fota himself was kilie by a bullet
believed to have been from the gun of
Chew Chuey.
Chew Chuey ran but the police ran
faster, and today he is in jail await
ing his trial for, murder.
That, according to the police and the
tales of Chinatown, is the jtory of the
latest outbreak of Chinese tong fighting
tn San Franciscothe outbreak which
caused Chief of Police O'Brien to an
nounce that the Chinese had broken
their word to keep peace and "must pay
the price."
Chinatown is virtually closed to whites
and a heavy police guard patrolled the
streets.
Money Displaced by
Jewelry in Russia;
Gems Pay for Food
(By United .News)
Warsaw, Feb. 17. Jewels are replacing
money as a medium of exchange
throughout Russia. The gem market in
Moscow is therefore one of the liveli
est "exchanges" In th'e world, with vast
speculation in diamonds, gold and other
precious metals.
Jewels are everywhere acceptable as
cash in return for necessaries. Large
diamonds are valued now at 300,000
rubles a karat, which would be extraor
dinary were It no that the price of
all commodities has risen to exorbitant
limits.
