The Bottineau courant. (Bottineau, Bottineau County, N.D.) 1895-1929, 1908-12-04

founded by r. C. Wynn, con-
ductor on the Sherwood line of
the Great Northern.
Some twenty years ago Mr..
Wynn in his position as conduc-
tor on great trans-continental
system, coming in contact with
many people of all classes, con-
ceived the idea of educating e
public sentiment against swear
ing and cursing. A few joined
the society and the movement
grew until now the orga MIA
tion has more than 5000 mem
bers. 1t contemplates the con-
struction of national headquar-
ters in the magic city. F. E.
Graves has donated the neces-
sary site, and in all probability
a building costing from S., 600
to $40, GOO will be constructed.
Such a building would be a
permanent monument of the
work of Mr.. Wynn and his
companions.

Mother and Babe Die From Injuries Ia
Kerosene Explosion at Deep.
PERIsHEp BEFORE help CAME
Both Badly Burned and Died Soon
After the Accident Which
Cost Their Lives.

following account OF the ter
rible accident at Deep which
caused the death of Mrs. Robert
A. Luedtke and baby daughter:
One of the most horrible ac-
cidents which has ever occurred
1 in this vicinity happened at the
farm home of Robert A. Luedt-
ke who resides one half mile
east of Deep. On Monday at
about noon, Mrs. Luedtke and
her little girl baby had been at
Deep visiting relatives and had
returned home unknown to
Mr.. Luedtke who was at the
time working in the field. How
the fire started is a mystery. A
can of kerosene exploded, as
the can was found in the room
with the bottom blown out, but
no one is certain what caused
the explosion.
The fire was first noticed by
VIM. label and Louis Krueger,
who were coming up the road
with a load of hay. They saw
smoke coming from the house
and Immediately ran to it and
opened the door. The whole
room was on fire, and Mr.. label
on hearing the cries of the little
child, forced his way through
the smoke and fire until he
found and brought it out. He
then went back into the burn
ing room and = after, cropping
around in the dark found Mrs.
Luedtke sitting upright in a
rocking chair, with all of her
clothes burned from her body.
With no little difficulty he got
her out of the building but was
nearly overcome himself by the
terrible smoke and gas. He per-
formed a heoric deed and had
it not been for him, the fire
would have perhaps passed un-
noticed and the bodies would
never have been recovered. One
of the neighbors rode to the
nearest phone on a wheel and
DIR. Godfrey was called. He did
everything possible but Mrs.
Luedtke was burned 80 badly
that she lived only until about
5 o'clock in the afternoon, when
she passed away as a result of
the scortching flames which
entered her lungs. She was
conscious until the end came
but could not tell how the ac-
cident happened. The little
child was sitting on the floor
clothed in a fur hood and coat
which kept the flames from it's
body, but it's little face and
hands were burned terrible and
it lived only until about 1
o'clock the next day.
Neighbors saw smoke emerg-
ing from the house and hastily
came and with the aid of FIRE
extinguishers put out the fire
or the house would have been
burned to the ground in a short
time
1t is one of the most horrible
affairs that has ever occurred in
this community and Mr.. Luedt-
Ike who is one of our most re-
pected and prosperous farmers
has the heartfelt sympathy of
everyone in this vicinity who
mourn with him the loss of a
loving wife and child in such a
terrible manner. II
Funeral services will be held
at the Lutheran church at Deep
on Friday and the bodies will
be inferred in the Lutheran
cemetery at that place.

There are, first, the big corporation men, and the extreme ndividualists among busl- ness men, who genuinely believe in ut terly unreguated business-that Is, in the reign of plutocracy; and, second, the men who, being blind to the econ omic movements of the day, believe in movement of repression rather than of regulation of corporations, and who denounce both the power of the railroads and the exercise of the fed eral power which alone can really control the railroads, Those who be- | lieye in efficient national control, on the other hand do not In the least ob- | ject to combinations; do not in the least object to concentration in busi- ness administration.

Washington, Dec. &. --President Roosevelt transmitted to the congress to-day his concluding annual message, lt gives special prominence to the subjects of currency reform, supervi- sion of corporations, labor legislation, tho courts, conservation of natural re- sources and reforms in the army and navy.
 The message discusses the imperfec- tlons of our currency system at length. m the light especially of last years money panic, and in connection there with reviews the treasury operations Of the seven years of his administra- ton.
 Recommendation for the amend ment Of the antitrust law; the ex- emption Of railways from its pro visions, and for publicity anu supervi- sion of the affairs or interstate corpo- rations are renewed. l. is recommends cd that telephone and telegraph com panies be brought under the control cf the Interstate commerce commits sion.
 The message devotes much space to a discussion of labor questions, and urges the cnactlon Of an employers liability law. In the same connection the powers Of the court are reviewed Better salaries are asked for judges of federal courts; the laws delays are criticised; also decisions which have proved detrimental to the interests of labor. Attention is also called to the difficulty, under which the present law of dealing with wealth in the huge masses in which 1t has been accum- ulated
