It suggested the names of several police officers who might be able to tell, if they would, of the collection of hush money from bootleggers In Minneapolis for the past five or six years. "I think It would be a good thing to print this letter, don't you, because if we can't get witnesses any other way we might advertise for them," was the comment ot Dean Nicholson. Further indication that ths Jury intends to be thorough in its latest investigation came when it waa an only the appropriation for the completion of the east wing.

In referring to the recent statement made by Representative John Booth Anniversary Will Be Obsrved (Continued From Page 1.) lted Youngtiulst in his office in the state capitol and as a result of a conference lusting an hour, Charles E.

The efforts of President Coolidge failed at the three-power conference in Geneva largely because ot British-American disagreement over the status of cruisers. The American cruiser bill, providing for the construction of 15 10,000 ton ships, resulted from that disagreement. Should General Dawes be able to find by diplomatic means a solution of the cruiser dispute he would be credited with a notable achievement. Friends of General Dawes believe that his willingness to accept the ambassadorship arises from his confidence that he can accomplish definite diplomatic results of this character while in London.
