HAVRE CREW in
BURNING WRECK

Another Great Northern passenger
wreck of particular interest to Havre
occurred Saturday last two miles east
OF Palermo, N. D. Engineer James
Lovengen, who was at first report
ed killed is of Minot, but lays ov-
er regularly in Havre and is we'll
known here as in his own home city.
The first report of his death caused
considerable sorrow among the men
who know and work with him. Lat
ter the Havre railroaders equally re-
joiced over the knowledge that he had
not been injured.
Conductor J. M. Rogers of Havre,
was in charge of the train, which,
after wreckage, was destroyed by
fire, with exception of the mail car
and locomotive, owing to the explos-
ionr in the diner of acetylene gas. He,
too, escaped injury. Hugh A. No
Ian and the brakeman escaped with
out injury by jumping when they felt
the huge train tumbling to its fall
over a twenty-foot embankment.
In the entire toppled train of elev-
en- coaches only seventeen persons wei
injured; none was killed. These per-
sons were nearly all returning eastwar
and were unknown in Havre.
Too heavy locomotives, broken rails
and defective roadbed are each being
loudly discussed as the cause of the
accident. So far the cause has not
been officially or legally fixed.

LIGHT ATTENDANCE MAYORS MEETING

the new law regarding contagion was
being construed from an entirely diff
ferent point of view to that that had
been held by various municipalities
adm boards of county commissioners.
Immediately upon tbs Mayors re-
turn a special meeting Of the city
council was called and the recently
created board of health of Havre was
abolished.

JAMES J. HILL SAYS STORIES OF
SUFFERING IN NORTHWEST
ARE EXAGGERATED.
1HIs SEASONS STORMS UNPARALLELED
eIxTY DAYS OF BAD WEATHER IN
THE THREE. MONTHS SINCE
WINTER BEGAN.

New York, Jan. 31.-James J. Hill
president of the Great Northern rail
way, has arrived in New York from
The Northwest, where 700 miles Of his
road are buried under snowfrifts and
the worst blizzard In Its history Is
raging. Speaking of the storms Mr.
Hill said:
"The stol ms, raging from Larimore
N. D., to the foot of the Rockies, are
almost unparalleled in the history OF
that country. Out of seyenty-three
winter days we have had sixty days
of storm. But we don't expect any
disastrous effects II the weather mod
crates soon.
Notwithstanding the severity OF
the winter wrong impression pre-.
walls in the East regarding the suffer.
ings OF our Western citizens. That
idea has been fostered out there by
the little politicians who have been
sending kilograms to Washington.
why, out in Devils Lake, which is
In the heart of the storm center, they
are giving balls and dances. They
were very indignant to learn that the
East believed they were starving and
freezing. Grand Forks, which Is a
supply station, sent word in every d.
rection to learn where there was any
want 0r suffarinp Thny hoard from
one man, who was in need of tobacco,
while another said his supply of
crackers had run short"

TERRIBLE EPIDEMIC FEARED
APPALLING CONDITIONS EXIST
AS RESULT OF THE FAM
lNE IN CHINA.

Washington, Jan. 31.-The appalling
conditions In China as the result of
the famine, as told in Chinese news
papers and other mail advices reach
ing the state department, coupled
with the warning given by Consul
General Rodgers Of the possible ef-
fects of the outbreaks which daily are
occurring in the famine districts, have
attracted the attention of the govern
ment authorities and developments
will be closely watched.
One of the greatest dangers which
the relief workers confront is an cpl
demic. In the great concentration
camps which have been formed by
refugees, who have fed from the
stricken districts to the south by the
tens of thousands, the people live,
some Of them only partially clothed,
others entirely naked, in mud huts
held together by mating. Medical
supplies and skill are badly needed In
these self-formed camps, as well as
food and clothing.
The native officials and authorities
are doing their utmost to control the
situation, but the task Is now far be-
yond them and outside aid is badly
needed. Relief committees have been
formed in various centers, composed
of high native officials and foreigners.
Everything possible Is being done, but
the task appears so gigantic that most
serious conditions will result before
any headway Is made. Estimates
have been made OF the cost of feeding
each starving person and the total
amount will reach close to $4,000
daily This estimate Is based upon a
calculation that 100000 people are
actually starving.
