July 'l7 (By the As sociated Press).—Minnesota's represen tation in the U. S. Senate has beeti turn ed over to the Fanner-Labor party as a result' of another political transition the state went through in the special senatorial election 'yesterday. Mangus Johnson, of Kimball, Minn, a real “dirt" farmer, gained the coveted post vacated by the recent death of Sen ator Ivnute Nelson. In 1300 of the state's 3520 precincts, Johnson has a lead of more than 27,000 over (iov. ,T. A. O. Preus. republican, with .las. A. Curley, democrat, trailing with a poor third. i Senator-elect Johnson will sit with Ilenriek Shipstead. who was elected Inst Fall over Senator Frank B. Kellog, re ' publican. Senators Johnson and Shipstead are Farmer-Laborites and have announced their intention to affiliate with "follow ers of Robert M. LaFollette,” in Con gress. Though jubilant over his victory, the Senator was more concerned today about “getting his haying done" than things political and he sought to postpone state ments incident to his election, but did let drop a few remarks. "Well, boys,” he said, “I put it over; I beat 'Jake' Preus as I said I would. Now I can go home and help my son . get the haying done. After that I can do some more organizing before I go to Washington.’’ Pressed for details of his organization plans lie gave excerpts from his keynote campaign speech. “I will do this because I believe (he 'farmers, and the workers and the busi ness men can by united action better their ■' " ’tJTi^Tft :( lSe" ,; In j 1 a semi-official way that he was "against tlie world court find the league of uad tions, and any other foreign entangle ments.'’ For the present he preferred not to . discuss .Russia; though "between yo\f and i me 1 am for recognition right away." Prohibition In* passed over, but express- , cd himself as for a soldiers' bonus pay- , able out of excess profits. , The chairman’ of the republican state committee attributed the. defeat of (lov er nor Preus to the fact that t “the best , efforts of the Republican workers were unable to overcome the evident feeling of unrest and dissatisfaction with eco nomic conditions which found its vent in a protest yore against the body in j lower." (lovernor Preus. who hud announced his support of the policies of the Hard-' ; iiig administration, which had lent a “Harding against LaFollette” flavor to , the election, hail nothing to add today to * his brief statement thanking the sup porters for their vote. He will continue as Governor tHI toe expiration of his 'term on January 1. 11125.

Viennese Too Poor to Pay Doctors’ Fees. IBr the Associated Press.> Vienna, July 17.—Hundreds of doc tors in Vienna are having hard times, these days, keeping themselves and their families alive. The people cannot af ford to'pay their feds, which are 10,000 crowns, or 15 cents, for a visit. _ Many physicians' families get meat only once a month, and live chiefly on bread and po tatoes. . Ninety per cent, of the people in Vi enna belong to sick benefit associations, and seek the help of an outside doctor, only as a last recourse. Furthermora, few foreigners come nowadays to Vienna in quest of medical aid. The home doc tors discourage them .front taking the journey, representing the local facilities ' for cures as good as anything to be had in Austria. It is evident the local prac titioner does not want fees to slip through his finfrers for the benefit of the profession in another country. ( It is said that if the earth* atmps ,i phere rihoUld be suddenly increased in 'thickness to v 700 miles, the sun could not penetrate it, and the earth would soon be wrapped in ice. Up-to-date .burglars are using collod ion on tlieir hands to prevent leaving tell-tale finger,prints. The Concord Daily Tribune ,\\ $ » , REFORMED CHURCH HOLDS MISSIONARY CONFERENCE Dormitory’ Space at Catawba College is Filled to Capacity by the Delegates, t Special to The Tribune.) Newton. July 1(5. —The campus of Cn- ( tawba • College is full of folks of all ages, young people outnumbering all j others. The annual missionary confer- I Cnee of the Reformed Church is going on I there. * All the dormitory space is tak-' ]en Viy delegates coming from the Re formed churches through the Piedmont section of the state. The dining room is almost taxed to full capacity. It looks like the registration will reach the 200 mark, this year. 1 The feature of the Sunday servi.ee was j the annual conference sermon, preached , by the Rev. Dr. Charles E. Schaeffer,! of Philadelphia. Pa. Dr. Schaeffer is | the executive secretary of the board of home inissions. Hi* is well acquainted in North Carolina especially among the ! Reformed people. Dr. Schaeflbr stated that this was his fourth trip to North j Carolina since May 1. He was at the! annual sessions of the Classis iu Char-1 lotte. also the general synod at Hick- | ory. * Dr. Shaeffer spoke on the s übject, 1 "The Philosophy of Life." This morning the class work began in earnest. Young people were intensely I interested in the course of study nnd I were making inquiry as to what c’asses I they should attend. The courses are so arranged that each one can take two ) subjects. Tlie text books are those used in all summer conferences. Tlie whole afternoon is given over to I recreation. The leader announced Sat-, urday night that there would be games | for exercise and amusement. Horse j slioes will interest some of the older I ones. Tennis will be tlie game for I many of tlie young people. There is hope for some baseball. He said that it sounded • pretentious, yet lie would try to make it most prac tical. The large audience that filled the college auditorium to capacity took in the message with rapt attention. There are four great .philosophies of life, said he. The first is the Epicurean which is stated in the words. “Let us eat, drink, and be merry ; for tomorrow we die." It is that philosophy that appeals to the senses, the sensous nature, and the sen sual life. The speaker declared that >«r IW* .iudgpigut Imbued,, with. (hi*- I WcW)f "living today; People are most In terested iu eurning a living than in liv ing a life. Some are interested in dress, what they can pul on. Others* are in terested in food and drink, how they may 1 subsist. Others are interested in making ' money, some regardless of how they make il. It is not wrong, said he, to 1 dress. I like to see a people well dress- : ed. I see no wrong in eating, We should have good food. He said that there was no wrong in making money, piled moun tain high, by honest ways. But that is not the end of life. That philosophy of life is essentially heathen. The second ' is the ascetic. The ascetic thinks that this world is essentially, evil, corrupt. He runs from the world into seclusion. Tills j philosophy Is not popular today. There is little danger. The folks like the 1 world to well. IVe want to live here ' and we want to mingle with folks too 1 well. The tendeney is towards the so cial. -.Tlie third is that of the Stoic. • This is a kind of middle ground be- 1 tween the other two. It is a sad and ; unattractfve. \Ve are in* this life, says ■ the Stoic, and it js evil bat we must grit ' our teeth, look things square in the face and do the best we can. l)r. Schaeffer ■ told his audience that there* was some thing good iu this idea of life iu that it put people on their metal and caused them to get acquainted with work. But, 1 said he, these, are all essentially heathen. 1 We are Christian and we ought to have a Christian philosophy, such as was giv en by Jesus iu tlie#Sermon ofi the Mount. ] Tlie life is more 'than raiment, the life ] is more than food. It is the living of a life such ns was ideal iu Jesus himself. I Where iieople have taken such a philos ophy of life they have advanced in mor als and righteousness. Here said the 1 ; speaker there must be downright hones ty. He thinks there is needed at) strong : emphasis on honesty and integrity of character. Industry, said he is in the progniin of Jesus. The doctor believes in hard work for himself and for all Christian people. Death of Mrs. Margaret Honeycutt. Mrs, Margaret E.

July 17 (By the Associated Press). — I-Wn.yil confirmation njnd ap , proval is expected to be given tomorrow |to the agreement reached last night by j the allies and the Turks and within a week the delegates are expeeted to affix [their signatures to the treaty of peace, • cudipg the Near East conference. The accord represents a victory for tlie I Fuited States, whose representative, Jos. |C. Grew, minister to Switzerland, was . successful in his insistence that the pol icy of the open door and equal opportun | ity in the Near East be adopted. Had |it not been for his tenacity the tenta- I five agreement made last week unfavora . ble to United States interests would have ! been included in tlie treaty. 1 Through numerous conferences with | Ismet Pasha, head of the Turkish dele gation, who appeared utterly fatigued ; from tlie constant pressure from both sides when the final session began, Mr. Grew won him over against the pleas of | the British and French plenipotentiaries. And having won this struggle to elim inate from the peace treaty all future preferential concession rights for foreign companies and official confirmation of existing concessions the American repa rations now will devote themselves to completion of the new Turkish-American treaty. The inside story of the meeting yes terday when the )>eaee made a week ago •was “packed up" as one allied delegate termed it, is of a fierce battle waged ov er . lijl , „(]Oestion of oil fields of Mesopo- i.s Tirifi*li etaiin' under the provisions of the concession of the Turk ish Petroleum Company. Though none of the American delega tion was present, it was apparent flat American influence was dominant, in tin* council chamber, and the stringent appli cation of Mr. Grows resistance was strong enough to permit ismet Pasha to hold until the finish.

Walker, the Min neapolis timber landowner, the Express might be added to the list, since they all have fm#unes estimated at $1U1),000,000. while there are at least three other In dian rulers whose fortunes probably ex ceed this amount. The Rothschilds, Guggenheiins, Van derbilts. Weyerhousers, and the Astors. says the writer, do not appear because theirs are family fortunes. The Roths child wealth has been estimated at from . $250,000,000 to $500,000,000 and that lof the Astors at from $100,000,000 to $500,000,000. [ Henry Ford is possibly the richest man in all history, the paper declares, jHe has a net business income of more - than $400,000,000 a year. He earns $250 every minute. Croesus may have been richer, since his famjms gift to Delphi cost $10,000,000, and that, reduced to today's terms, might mean $’.3)0,000,000. John D. Rockefeller gave away $500.- 000,<KX> to charity and to foundations be fore 1021. He is the head, however, of the biggest group of wealthy men ever produced by a single industry, and his private fortune must still rank him sec ond. Sir Basil Zaharoff is Europe's mystery man, but it is no mystery that he is one of Europe's wealthiest men. He owns more than half of Monte Carlo, and his holdings in armament firms are even larger. He is in oil. finartce, shipping, in fact, it is difficult to say what lie is not interested in. •Jfile Mitsui* ami- the lotasakis *are 1 financiers, trailers, and shipiters.
