AUTO DIVES INTO LAKE.
Gees Over .Embankment over Forty
Feet High.

Ortonville, Minn.-July 1.-While
going at high rate of speed an auto
mobile containing three persons sud
denly swerved and went over sheer
embankment of 40 feet into Big Stone
lake. One of the passengers was prob
ably fatally hurt.
Those in the automobile were Chas.
and Walter Bucholz, prominent mer-
chants of Appleton, and 8 year old
son of Walter. They were driving
along the lake shore road. which at the
point where the accident hopened runs
along the edge of bluff. AT the high
est point the machine suddenly got be-
yond the control of the driver, swerved
and went directly over the embank-
ment. The heavy car did not turn over
as it fell, but landed in 20 feet OF
water. Charles was struck by the
| steering wheel and received internal
injuries which may prove fatal. Wal
ter was badly cut and bruised and is
in serious condition. The boy es.
capped unhurt.
A gasoline launch was near the
scene of the accident, and those aboard
fastened to rescue the automobilists
who otherwise might have been
drowned.

NEW DEFENSE FOR CRIME.
Psychic Epilepsy Is the Unique
Plea,

Plea.
DR.. Elmore E. Elliott of New York
has escaped the meshes of the law
through unique plea. He had been
arrested for brutally assaulting, with
out provocation, man and his wife
on the public street. Psychic epilepsy
defined as acute epilepsy, without any
external manifestations, was the de-
tense successfully offered.
DR.. Elliott in his own behalf, testi-
fed that he had been subject to at.
tacks of psychic epilepsy since child.
hood, and that during these attacks
he had no knowledge of his acts or
recollection of them upon recovery.
Medical testimony was offered to
sustain this plea, and the prisoner was
discharged.
Lawyers who heard the defense and
members of the district attorney s
staff continued to discuss DR.. Elliotts
strange statement long after the ply.
stefan had left court. They agreed
that it's scope was practically limitless
and asserted that psychic epilepsy
would undoubtedly prove a successful
defense even for murder.
at is the best defense ever heard
and the best defense in the world,

FINE ARTS FOR NATION.
Movement for Great Department Of
the Capital.

New York-The development of art
in the United States is forecasted in
a movement which has begun through
out the country for the establishment
at Washington of national depart
ment of fine arts, the head of which
shall be member of the cabinet.
Plans for the national department of
fine arts, which have just become
public, include the establishment of
an athaneum, which shall have con-
troll over school of arts, and con-
servatory of music and the erection
of art galleries by the government in
many cities throughout the country.
Five large colleges are behind the
movement, which is being directed by
several leading architects in the
United States. Senator Newlands of
Nevada, it is said, will bring up a
bill for the establishment of an art de-
parement at the next session of con-
gresS If those who are interested in
the fine arts movement believe that
the time is ripe for seeking congress
sional action.

Shriekinx Mandrake.

In medieval days the mandrake was
supposed to shrek or groan when up
rooted, the following lines are taken
from the oldest witchsong extant:
II last night lay all alone
On the ground to hear the mandrake
groan,
And plucked him up though he grew
full low,
And as so did, the cock did crow !"
The shrieks Of the mandrake were
supposed to ,be so horrible that those
hearing them went mad. It was Gus
tomary, therefore, in gathering the
plant not only to employ a dog but
also to stuff tow in the ears. This Gu
rious notion was explained by Newton
In his Herbal to the Bible by thu
fact that the mandrake was popularity
supposed to grow spontaneously under
gallows, engendered by the decom-
posed body of the hanged man and
was therefore endowed with the spirit
Of the culprit. 1t seems probable, how
ever, that, by some mental twist, the
shrieks had become transferred to thu
plant from those delirious with IT.

Miners Federation
Favors Socialism

Denver, Dol. July AFTER long
fight, which has threatened to disrupt
the Western Federation Of Miners in
the fight with the Industrial Workers
Of the World, the miners Monday went
on record as favoring socialism by the
adoption of preamble to the constitu-
ton and bylaws of the organiza ton.
The vote was 283 to Sc. The preamble
follows:
"First-We hold that there IL q
class Struggle in society and that this
struggle is caused by economic condi-
tions
Second We affirm the economic
condition of the producer to be that he
is exploited of the wealth he produces,
being allowed to retain barely sufficient
for his necessities.
gle will continue until-the producer is
recognized as the sole master Of his
product.
"Fourth-We assert that the work
ing class, and it alone, can and must
achieve it's own emancipation.
"Fifth-We hold, finally, that an
industrial union and the concerted po-
litical action of all wage earners is the
only method Of attaining this end.
Sixth - Therefore, we the wage
slaves employed in and around the
mines, mills and smelters of the world,
have associated in the Western Fedora
ton of Miners, the mining department
of the Industrial Workers of the
World"
1t is the announced intention of the
leaders to call convention at Chicago
for the organization of an industrial
and political party, which will place a
ticket in the nomination for the next
presidential election.
The federation and the brewery
workers nnion, it is expected, will
form the nucleus oft he new party.
Before its final adoption the new
preamble goes to the local unions for a
referendum vote. The strikes and
l. ckouts committee presented report
which favored the continuing the
strike in the Cripple Greek district
until the mineowners' card system
now in vogue there is abolished.
The convention adopted the report.
The delegates voted down the pro-
posed amendment to the constitution
admitting cooks, bartenders, dish
! washers and such classes Of laborers as
are only indirectly connected with
