CLUB WOMEN in PERIL
Boat on Which Federation Officers
Are Riding Crashes on Rock in
Rainy River.
3 DROWNING MEN PICKED UP

~ Death by drowning, or at least a
night on a rock smashed boat, was
narrowly averted by Mrs. Higbee, of
ST.. Paul, president of the Minnesota
Federation of Women's clubs, Mrs.
H. A. Tomlinson, of St. Peter, vice
president of the Federation, Miss
Martha Wilson of the State Library
Commission, and a score of Interna-
tional Falls club women, when the
excursion launch on which trip
was beingismade went on the rocks
near Rainy Lake City. Federation
officers, who arrived in Bemidji yes
terday to attend the convention here,
give graphic accounts of their exper-
fences.
The women were taken from the
imperiled craft late in the evening
but their thrills for the day were not
yet over, for while passing the
Rainier rapids three men were res
cued, after their row boat had been
turned upside down by the treach-
erOus waters.
Twas to Be Pleasant Outing.
The accident took place on Sum
day. The state officers as guests of
International Falls women, boarded
the "Koochiching," so passenger
power boat. A pleasant run was
made on the Rainy river to Rainy
Lake city, a distance of twelve miles.
All went we'll until the return trip
was started. Then it was discover
ed that couple had been left be-
hind.
In order to pick up these persons,
the boat started to turn around and
it was at this time that she crashed
onto rock, which held her fast
Small Boats Offer Aid.
A small boat from the Bennett
summer hotel came alongside the
marooned excursionists and offered
aid, and after obtaining services of
another small boat, took on board Is
of the women and started for Inter-
national Falls. Mrs. Higbe and other
Federation officers were in the first
boat and they passed the rapids at
Rainier without incident.
When the second boat reached the
rapids, its occupants were Mortified
to see an upturned boat and three
persons struggling in the water, and
it was presumed that it was women
from the first relief boat.
Three Saved From Drowning.
There was all sorts Of excitement
for time, but after much maneuver-
ing the three struggling persons
were rescued, but not until one was
going down Tor the last time. They
proved to be three fishermen.
Included in the party were the
following international Falls wo-
men
Mesdames Frank Lang, f. j. Nc
Partland, G. B. Kinney, r. F. C. IL
tbs. Heiiei. M. 3. Withrow, R. G.
Frasier, M. S. Mcdonald.
The women who were compelled to
remain on the stranded launch were
not taken of until O'Clock Monday
morning.

The commissioners Of the Lex
ington road district have done
some good work especially on
the South roads. Grades have
been greatly improved and the
road bed arched and Smoothed.
This year the Dover and the
Wellington roads ought to be
COTTON into nearly perfect shape
and by another year the work of
macadamizing the principal
roads ought to be taken in hand
if the people vote for the bond
issue. They voted for it last
year by an overwhelming
majority but the law was found
defective and these bonds were
not issued. There can be no
doubt but that the people will
by an increased majority, re-
affirm their former sentiments
and re.authorize the bond issue.

The Campaign liar will soon
be telling the people that the
proposed road bond issue is a
second and additional issue.
Don't be an easy mark. The
issue voted last year failed be-
cause of a defect in the statu tie.
The statute has been rewritten
and re,enacted by the legislature
and the people will have to re-
authorize the issue they authoriz-
ed last Spring, before they can
be sold. There has been no
road bonds ISSUED. There will
be only one issued-the one
which it is believed, the people
will by overwhelming majority
authorize at the election April 10.
Vote for it.

President Taft almost threw a
tire in his haste to assure Book
er Washington that he loved
him still, and that he believed
in his innocence. Booker may
have been innocent, but it was
hardly to be expected that the
President of these United States
would so far forget the position
he occupies by declaring public
ly his belief regardless of the
evidence in the case. Truly we
have a most remarkable man for
President.

The bond issue authorized by
overwhelming vote of the people
last year failed because of de-
feet in the statute of the state.
This defect has been cured by
the last Legislature. Now it is
up to the people to vote the
bonds again under the new
statute and as soon as the
money is available permanent

Summer, will tegin to be con-

COMMITTED BY REGISTERS.
Two Republicans Charged With Great
ing Disorder in Registration House

For the first time in years, if not
in the history of local politics, Anne
Arundel county registration officials
today took advantage of their legal
ight to issue a commitment to Jail.
when two Republican politicians
named Morgan and johnson were com
mitted to Jail by Robet R. Cook and
Herman F. Rossman, the registration
officials of the Curtis Bay precinct of
the Fifth district of the county.
Details of the affair are lacking.
but it is understood that the two men
were, in the opinion of the officials.
guilty of disorder and interrupting
the proceedings of the registration to
an extent that justified their being
placed under arrest. The case is prob
ably without parallel in local politics
and will be watched with keen inter-
est.
Today marks the last sitting of the
officials throughout the county to
remove and put new names on the
registration books, the sitting on
next Tuesday being for revision of
the lists only.

ST. JOHN'S-NAVY GAME.
Two Local Institutions Will Meet At
Academy Tomorrow Afternoon.

Interest among the football fans
of Annapolis is centered to the usual
degree in the game of football at the
Naval Academy tomorrow afternoon,
when the midshipmen and ST. Johns
will meet.
Possibly in no game that is played
on either gridiron is the interest in
St. Johns and the Navy so keen as
when they meet each other, and
this interest always assures a large
attendance and plenty of enthusiasm.
ST. Johns being lighter than usual
this year, although we'll up to the
standard of speed and gameness, Sno
partizan of the cadets will predict
victory or even bet that there will
be score for the orange and black,
but keen interest is manifested in COM
pairing their showing against the mid
dies to that made by their keen rivals
from Johns Hopkins on last Saturday.
In preparation for tomorrow's
game both teams will have only light
practice this afternoon

After long controversy between
the city and the Annapolis Water
Company an agreement has at last
been reached whereby the latter will
place water main on Clay street

sumption or protection from fires.
This was announced at a meeting of

The negotiations for the settlement
of the points at issue were conducted

Another matter disposed of at last

Every Little Movement"

The fun and vivacity of the story
of the play form a tangle of comic
situations that fairly tumble over and
pile up one upon another. Things be-
gin to happen with lightning rapidity
when Yvonne Sherry, Madame
Sherry" little maid from a convent
with a convent girls ways suddenly
finds herself thrust into the thick of
life amidst tangled skein of deceit
and in the very greatest of the gaiety
suddenly falls headlong in love, ap-
pears on the scene accompanied by
the delightful characters of an uncle,
T. Theophilus.
Aileen Hodgson, with a voice of
rare quality and clearness, and a most
attractive stage presence. takes good
care to make all that can be made out
of the part of Yvonne, while Amanda
Hendricks, cast as Lulu, an actress
and dancer of apparently convenient
loving capabilities, shared worthy with
her the lifting maze of the love dances
to the constantly recurring seductive
strains of Every Little Movement. ="
The easily carried burden of the
pieces comedy could hardly have
been placed on shoulders that appar-

broad ones of Miss Cheridah Simpson.
who starred in ''The Red Feather"
season or two ago, and who as Cath

young Edward Sherry, kept last

humor straight through the piece.
With her in this, and following we'll
the pace set, was Fred Frear, the dot.
ing but sadly deceived Uncle Theoph-
illus, who was financing for his scamp
of nephew family that did not
exist, and which had to be gotten
together at the eleventh hour, to

The cast, which was we'll bal

cation that it will be unusually inter-
esting.
The officers of the Club wish it en-
phasiZed that all persons who desire
to join in theso fox hunts are cordial
ly welcome, so that no one need hesi-
tate when the thrilling sound of the
huntman's horn is heard
