BIG Liners
in A CRASH
Came Together In the Hudson
River---No One Injured

New York, Nov. 17.--In collision
in the Hudson river today between the
French line steamer LaLorraine and
the North German-Lloyd liner Prinz
Friedrich Wilhelm, as they were draw
ing out into the stream to sail for Eu-
rope, both steamers were badly dam
aged above the water line and had to
return to their piers. Neither was in
condition to proceed with her voyage
today.
The passengers on both liners were
panic stricken for a moment, but the
assurances OF officers that there was no
danger speedily quieted them. Al
strong tide running in the river today
was believed to be responsible for the
crash. No one was injured.

CHANGE DATES
OF CONVENTION
RED RIVER VALLEY CORN AND
CLOVER CONVENTION WILL BE
HELD IN FEBRUARY.

Grand Forks, N. D., Nov. 17.-The
commercial club committee in charge
of the arrangements for the Red River
Valley Corn and Glover convention
met yesterday in the commercial club
rooms. The principal matter of dis
cussion before the committee was the
date for the coming convention. 1t
was announced some time ago that the
convention would be held about the
middle of December, these dates hav-
ing been approved by Supt. T. A. How
erstad in charge of the institute work.
The committee, however, after dis
cussing the subject thoroughly decided
that the December dates would not
be as satisfactory as dates later in
the winter. Feb. 4, and were the
dates agreed upon by the members OF
the committee as the most satisfac-
tory, provided Of course that Super
intendent Hoverstad has those dates
free. Chairman Bacon of the COM
mittee was also authorized to appoint
the various sub committees to have
charge of the arrangements and these
appointments will be made I'm the near
future in order that the work of prep
aration may move along as rapidly as
possible.
There seemed to be a consensus of
opinion that the corn and clover con-
vention this year, and for that mat
ter every year, should be made the
feature events of the winter months.
It should grow into large mid winter
fair with the institute as the central
feature but with other attractions in
the way of exhibits of grain, corn, etc.
The plan this year is to hold the dog
and poultry show at the same time as
the corn and clover convention and If
further attractions can be added, the
convention this year may assume large
proportions.
