MANDAN IS TURNED BACK
Unable to Proceed Farther Than Mondak
on up River Trip

The Mandan went up as far as
Mondak last week under orders to
proceed as far as the mouth of
Milk river but the low water above
Mondak necessitated change in
the program. Soundings we're
made in the channel and only about
two feet of water found and as the
boat draws three feet it was unable
to proceed and returned to the.
dock here Monday. Tuesday the
boat snagged a few miles above
the city and Wednesday dropped
down the river for about forty
miles where the snags are especial
ly thick and from which point
they will work back to this place.

GOES TO DEATH
IN MURKY WATER
A. l. WEBSTER OF BILLINGS, MONT.
DROWNED IN THE MISSOURI AT
nine O'CLOCK FRIDAY EVE

The only bathing accident of the
year to date occurred last Friday
evening when A. L. Webster, a
transient of Billings, Mont, went
into the river at a point a little
above the Great Northern pump
ing plant and was taken with
cramps and drowned few mo-
ments later.
Christ Christie, the night pump
er at the station, heard the man
cry out and ran along the bank but
the waters of the river had closed
over the unfortunate before any
aid could be gotten to him. There
is strong back eddy at the point
that Webster went IN the river
and it is presumed that the under
swirl of the current at this point
was partly instrumental in sending
the man down. The drowned man
was forty eight years of age, five
feet four inches tall and weighed
one hundred and fifty four pounds
from the description given by a
hunting license issued at Billings
th at; WAS in the clothing left on the
shore.
Letters from his wife to their
son who evidently had been with
his father on a fishing trip further
up the river, was also in the CLOTH
ing along with a letter from a
niece, Minnie Webster, of Gold
Valley, Grant county, Montana, a
check book on Yegen Brothers
bank of Billings, and other papers
of identification. A pocket book
containing $1.03 and cheap
watch was the only articles of
value in the clothing. 1t is pre-
sumed that Webster was one of
the members of the Jungle pot
gang" that makes that portion of
the river shore their headquarters.
Officer Bemis went Immediately
to the scene of the drowning and
brought the clothing to the city
Jail and the police department i'm
mediately wired Mrs. Webster at
Billings, and they received a wire
from her saying the man was her
husband but nothing further.
Officer Nolan saw Webster at the
depot Friday evening along with
number of others who make the
siding box cars their sleeping place
while in town. 1t is likely that
the body will not be recovered be-
fore nine days, if the river gives
it up then. No word has been
received from the Billings authori-
ties as to what to do with the body
should it be found.

LINER HELPLESS, 1920 ABOARD.
Princess Irene Founders OF Long
Island Coast-Danger Probably
Not Imminent.

New York, April 6.-Seventeen hun
dred and twenty passengers, within
sight of the first of the big lights
which marked the finish of their
transatlantic voyage, spent a Sleep
less night tonight on the great steam
ship Princess Irene, of the North G>F-
man Lloyd Line, fast in the sands IN
the seaward coast of Long Island, Or
the edge of the 'Graveyard Of the At
lantic" and less than fifty miles from
this harbor. AS night fell a high
ground swell was battering the full
height of the vessels superstructure.
After running her big nose in the
sand during the fog early this morn
ing, the liner lay helpless throughout
the day, surrounded by tugs and reve-
nue. cutters. Efforts to pull her free
at afternoon high tide, failed, and be-
cause of a rough sea, no transfer OF
passengers was attempted, pending
renewed attempts to drag her clear
early tomorrow.
If these fail, transfer will be made
to the Prinz Frederick Wilhelm, OF
the same line, which will be sent to
the scene from her. dock here soon
after daybreak.
Transfer Made to Sister Ship With.

minutes this afternoon the 1,725 pas
sengers on the stranded North Ger
man Lloyd Liner Princess Irene were
transferred to her sister ship, the
Prime Friedrich Wilhelm, and one
hour after nightfall they were on
their way to New York. The feat is
unparalled in the history Of marine
disasters.
Not life was lost, not a case OF
panic was reported. The first pas
senger off was a. woman and the sec
ond a baby. The cabin passengers,
masters of the situation and the Ian
guage, generously gave precedence to
the more timorous steerage.

HOME TALENT FOR GOVERNOR,
Repudiates Contract With Charlotte
Architect to Design Winthrop
Building.

On the ground that South Carolina
architects ought to be employed to do
architectural work for the State, Gov
'ernor Blease has held up a contract
which had been agreed on between
the building committee of the Win
throD trustees and a Charlotte archi-
tect, for the drafting of plans and
specifications for the new domestic
arts and sciences building at Win
:thrOp.
President D. B. Johnson, of Win
'throp, is out of the State. On his re-
turn Governor Blease will have the
Winthrop trustees meet here to can
vass the situation. Governor Blease
makes the following statement in re-
gard to the matter:
Il want to go on record as repu-
dating such a contract. I have asked
the committee not to sign the con-
tract and to hold it up pending the
meeting. My reasons for so doing are
that we have as good architects in
South Carolina as there are in the
Union.
"Our men are raising families in
this State; they are paying taxes and
are helping to support our institu-
tions; then why should We patronize
an architect from another State for
the plans of a building to be erected
in one of our towns and by one of the
States institutions? Why should the
State put itself on record as favoring
the employment Of men from beyond
her borders? We should employ a
South Carolinian. AS soon as l saw
it reported that the building commit
tee was to employ man from Char
lotte, at once made known my po--
sition.''
Governor Blease was emphatic in
stating tnat ne reDudlGf"S Sucn con-
tract and as chairman of the board
he will never place his name to such
A proceeding. He thinks that South
Carolina's professional men are good
enough to employ and that the State
should not set such an example as
this in going beyond the border to
get an architect.
