HELM SWINGS FIST.
Congressman Has Fight With Autoist
Who Almost Runs Him Down,

Washington, Aug. 5.-Congresslnan
Hef1in Of Alabama, who is handy with
his fists, became involved in a personal
encounter with an automobilist, whose
name is said to be Johnson, on the
streets of Washington yesterday after
noon. AS no arrests were made the
identity of Mr.. Helms antagonist could
not be we'll established.
Mr.. Hef1in and Representative Ollie
James of Kentucky were crossing F
street together when an automobile
whizzed by them Mr.. James says the
driver was handling the machine caro-
lessly and was exceeding the speed lin
it, very nearly running them down.
When the car came to stop some
distance UP the street, the two con-
gressmen followed and took the cars
number. Observing this action the
automobilist followed and hailed the
congressman. it is said, inquiring why
they had taken his number and asking
their names. The congressman replied
that they intended to report him for
fast and reckless driving, and told him
who they were. Denying their allega-
lions, the driver is said to have made
remark exceedingly distasteful to Mr..
Heftn. Mr.. Helms rejoinder sent
the other down in heap.
The two southern representatives
then moved away, but the automobilist,
after regaining his feet, pursued them.
The two men came together in front Of
a local hotel, where more blows were
struck, Mr.. James and Mr.. Heflins col
league. Mr.. Clayton, who had come up,
separated the combatants before more
damage had been done to the auto
mobilist.

tury Bank. A man in citizens clothes
approached and asked her if that was
the Century Building. NO." she said.
"Not the Century Building but the
Century Bank" Where is the Century
Building?" "A block farther west"
Then the man inquired if she knew
whether or not there were rooms for
rent in the Century building, claiming
he was a stranger looking for a room
and had been told there were rooms
there. The woman knew nothing of 1t,
but when he asked if she knew where
there We're rooms she said she had
some to rent herself and was waiting
for street car to go home and he
might go along and see them. Then
he displayed his policeman's star and
told her to go with him.
She didn't go with him but told him
her name and started to tell him what
she would do to him thru the courts
but the man beat such a hasty retreat
when he heard her name that she
wasn't able to properly relieve her
feelings on the hapless creature before
he was out of hearing.
Some claim that Superintendent
Hamery is being fooled by his police
men and detectives, all Of whom oc-
cupied the same positions they do now
or practically the same under the old
plan. Hamery they claim is honest in
trying to enforce the law and do it
fairly but has such a mania for max
ing raids with a brass band that his
detectives have no difficulty in fooling
him. John B. Hammond, who put the
cigaret dealers out Of business, went
to Hamery's office to try and persuade
him he was being fooled and Hamery
put him out.
Business men don't seem to be los
ing much sleep over the matter. how
ever They seem to think that the next
city election will see change in the
personnel of the council and then
things will all be rghted. If the Des
Mofnes plan was submitted to a vote
of the people of Des Moines tomorrow
without any campaigning it would
carry by a much larger vote than it
did originally.

Grundy Center, Aug. 6.-Bernard
Druck, a young man, who, until three
years ago was a resident of this city,
has come into a small fortune in the
west thru his former employer, recently
deceased. Young Druck is a son of 8.
b. Druck, former residents of this city
who left for Pacific Grove about three
years ago. The son is left a fortune OF
$4,000 by George Bertold, of Monterey,
CAL, whose will was filed for probate
a week ago. In the will Bertold left
$4,000 to the city of Monterey to be
used in identifying the grounds about
the city hall. Smaller amounts were
left to distant relatives.
His large shoe stock and business
he left to Bernard Druck and Otto
Ternes. Both of these young men had
been clerks in this store the past two
years. The stock is estimated to be
worth $4,000.
This is possibly the first case on
record where a man left about half
of a comfortable fortune to his en-
ployees. The friends of Bernard
Druck in this city will rejoice at his
good fortune.

The ia passengers and seamen OF

fearful night of exposure which they
experienced on the wind swept sand
Malibu beach, = were brought safely
to the city today after their thrill

which was left a blackened, twisted

passengers and crew escaped without
the loss of life In the excitement
of the burning ship which was DOOM

of the fire while few miles OF shore.
The passengers all reached shore and
spent the night around driftwood
fires, while they watched the ship
bum to the waters edge. A careful
roll call accounted for every passen-
ger that was aboard the burning
ship. Both passengers and crew be-
haved admirably under the circum-
stances or the loss of life might have

WILL NOT GO TO THE
DOGS, SAYS THE GAZETTE.

KOOtenai County Is Too Rich i'm Nat
ural Resources for Much Loss.
The st. Maries Gazette, in an ex-
tended article, concludes with the
following few paragraphs regarding
the recent election held in this
county:
"Kootenai county will not go to
the dogs because of the closing of
the saloon. Neither will st. Maries,
and, If after a fair trial the new
system is found to be all that is
claimed by its supporters, the minor
ity party in the late election will re-
joice with their dry brethren.
The county OF Kootenai and its
towns and villages are too rich in
natural resources to feel for any
great length of time the loss of reve-
nue. derived from the saloon business.
The county and the towns therein
will grow and prosper, the men
thrown out of employment will find
other fields of usefulness and the
empty buildings new tenants,
THE majority should rule The ma
iority of the voters in Kotenai eoun-
ty have decided for prohibition
therefore let it be the business of all
law abiding citizens, vets and
drys' alike, to see that the new law
when 1t becomes effective is strictly
enforced.
IF, at the end of two years, the
system is found to be unsatisfactory
the same. means taken to put the
county on the dry list can again be
resorted to to change the system
meanwhile it will b. up to the peO-
pie 10 abide by the wish of the ma
iority. and to assist In the obsery-
ance of the law to become effective
after the 18th of February next. !"
