Mary Knudsen and Mrs. Lena Jensen.
There are no more highly respect
ed people in our community. Both
are prominent members of the Dan
ish Lutheran church OF Extra and
were largely instrumental in raising
the funds for the erection of the new
building. Both are generous to a
fault extending help to friend and
stranger alike wherever help is
needed.
They received many elegant and
costly gifts mostly gold and silver
ware. Among other things was a
magnifi 'ent fifty dollar clock con-
nected with which occurred q curious
coincidence. While the recipients
were admiring their new possession
crash was heard IN an adjoining
room which, upon investigation
proved to be the old time honored
clock which evidently felt that it
had fulfilled its mission in lite, and
expired. The journal and it's
readers extend congratulations and
bes. wishes for the future welfare of
Mr.. and Mrs. Peter Wolf and their
family.

PROF. oDELL
Hats Off Again Please. This Time Its
Prof. Frank 0del1 Of Ames
College

Promotion comes thick and fast to
the deserving ones. A few years ago
Mr.. Frank Odell was business man
in Extra. Leaving here he went to
Greenfield Iowa where he was INSTALL
ed buttermaker. His new business
soon led him into the mysteries of
manufacturing first class article of
butter. His untiring methods, stud
led from the best instruction obtain
able began to count in the CONNER
cial world and his turn out was being
called for. The commission men en-
tered into friendly competition for
his goods which brought two cents
more per pound on the market for the
intelligence made up into it. When
State Dairy Commissioner Wright
was looking around for helper he Sc
lected Frank. For two years he visited
the creameries of the state and enforc.
ed the laws of Iowa. His prominence
elected him to a government position
ayear ago which he filled with abili-
ty. One of the professors of Ames
College was transferred to another
field of labor. The faculty elected
Frank to this position from the field
at large. He will move to his new
work atonce where we shall expect
to hear from him occasionally as he
climbs the pinacle of fame. Success to
you Frank.

PAYING TELLER OF STATE
SAVINGS BANK ENDS LIFE

SAN RAFAEL. Cal, July 17.-Wil-
liam Won Meyerlinck, paying teller of
the State Savings and Commercial
bank of San Francisco, committed sui
eide in his home at Larkspur last night
by firing a bullet into his brain. The
body was found by the family and the
first statement made was that death
was due to natural causes. Later the
coroner was summoned and it was
found that bullet fired into his right
temple had ended his life.
While there is no apparent cause for
suicide and Won Meyerlinck left no let
ter to indicate his motive, 1t is re-
ported that he was in some difficulty
with the bank over his accounts. The
bank officials have declined to make
any statement in this regard, but it is
understood that Won Meyerlincks
books were under examination within
the last day or so, though this may
have been in connection with the
statement asked by the bank superin-
tendent Won Meyerlinck was MEM
Der of an old German family and leaves
a wife and a son 16 years of age. The
inquest will be held tonight or tomor-
row and the funeral will take place to-

FATHER ROTHSCHlLD
WITHHELD CONSENT
REASON FOR SUICIDE OF
BARON GIVEN
Report Printed That Viennese Killed
Himself Because Financier Re-
fused Permission to Marry
American

CHICAGO, July 1.-THE Tribune
prints today story in which it is
asserted it was not for love of a poor.
unidentified Viennese girl that caused
the suicide of Baron Oslkar E.othschild
in his home in Vienna five days ago.
The refusal of his father, Baron
Albert Rothschild, to permit his mar
riage to Olga Mem, the daughter of
DIR. Rudolph Menn, a widely known
Chicago physician, is ascrbed as the
real cause for the act.
1t is declared the couple became ac
quainted after the young man had
fallen i'll in Chicago, about six weeks
ago, while making a tour of the
world. He was attended by Dr. Menn,
who later invited him to his home.
Mrs. Mem and her daughter are de-
clared to have gone to Europe two
weeks ago. The refusal of his father
to consent to the alliance is given as
the reason for his sons dependency
and subsequent suicide.

FARMERS WITH PITCHF0RKS
DRIVE SCAVENGERS AWAY
impatient at Laws Delays, Ranchers
Form Battle Line and Prevent
Garbage Dumping

SAN JOSE, July 17.-Angered by the
efforts of the scavengers of this city
to make a dumping ground of field
on the eastern side of the Santa Clara
valley, farmers of the neighborhood
gathered there yesterday, armed with
pitchforks, and forcd the scavengers to
retreat.
The farmers drew up in battle line
half a mile from the dumping place.
When the wagons of the scavengers
approached they were halted, and a
farmer who lives next to the disputed
field declared to the drivers that the
land owners Of the vicinity were so
weary of waiting for the courts to de-
eide the dispute that they had de-
cided to fight rather than permit any
more dumping there.
The scaVengers made no resistance,
but Immediately turned their wagons
and brought their loads back to this
city.

HARBOR REPORT
FOR PRESIDENT
tContinned from Page One,


days before election to serve as a re-
minder to voters.
An effort is being made at San Pedro
to lead the church element TO believe
that Los Angeles is making the tenn
perance situation worse through con-
solidation because the city council has
gone on record as to the policy to be
adopted for the consolidated city. Anti
consolidationists have been eXerting
themselves to play the liquor interest
against the prohibition sentiment in
some way that would lose vtoes for
consolidation. When their plan to or
ganize the liquor dealers of San Pedro
against consolidation failed, because
the Los Angeles consolidation commit
tee did not leave them a working prop,
they turned to the ministers.
Representations have been made that
consolidation offers a chance to urge
prohibition, and the suggestion has
been made repeatedly to ministers of
San Pedro that anything appearing to
protect the saloon keepers following
consolidation should be protested. The
aim of the opponents of consolidation is
to stir up factional trouble which will
lose support for consolidation on both
sides.
Arguments Are Answered
The consolidation committee answers
this attempt to drag the saloon ques-
tion into the campaign with the argu-
ment that 1t is foreign to the real issue
except as to the attitude of Los Ange-
les in accepting the present situation.
This has been assured in the action of
the Los Angeles council in directing
the city attorney to prepare an ordi-
nance sreadjusting the liquor situation
to meet the changed conditions at the
harbor.
If San Pedro is to be made a prohibi-
tion section, that is a matter for the
voters to decide apart from consolda-
,tion, to be decided on its own merits
and not as a feature of the harbor de-
velopment, is the assertion of the con-
solidation committee. The committee
members believe that the ministers will
not allow themselves to be misled by
men who wish to defeat the harbor
movement for selfish ends.

SETTLE DISPUTE
WESTERN FEDERATION UN-

FLYNN AND MoYER FACTIONS
STILL AT. VARIANCE
"Mother" Jones Denounces Supporters
of Opposition and Says Men Had
Better Fight Enemies and
Not Members

DENVER, July 17.-After wrangling
all day over the controversy growing
out of the strike of the brewery engi-
neers of Butte, Mont, the two factions
of the Western Federation of Miners,
In convention here, are no nearer a
settlement tonight than at any time
since the trouble arose.
Meyers supporters charge the ad-
herents of p. w. Flynn of Butte with
stirring up this strife.
The Flynn supporters are dissatis-
fed with the arrangement effected by
President Meyer of the federation and
Secretary Probstle of the brewery
workers, and though clearly in the mi
nority in the convention were able to-
day to prevent the Endorsement of the
settlement.
The controversy will be taken up
again when the convention meets Mon
day.
This afternoon Mother" Jones again
addressed the convention. She de-
nounced the action of the Flynn sup
porters as an endeavor to disrupt the
federation for personal preferment,
and i'm her characteristic language
pleaded with the members to cease
their senseless internecine strife and
devote their energies to whipping the
other fellow.
