CLUB WOMEN To HELP
Those in Georgia Will Take Active Part
in Campaign For Woodrow
Wilson.
Especial to The Free rress.I

Atlanta, July 1O.-The Women's
clubs of Georgia will take an active
part in the campaign plans of Cover
nor Wilson this year for the sake
of Mrs. Wilson, who was born in
this state, and passed the first part
of her life in Georgia.
She early showed a great talent
for painting, and many critics have
gone so far as to say that she would
probably have had a great future
as an artist if she had not given up
most of her work in this line after
her marriage to Professor Wilson
when he was struggling collegiate
instructor at Bryn Mawr. Mrs. Will
son has also made a name for her.
self as a landscape gardener.
Mrs. Wilson will not, of course,
take any active part in the cam
paign to elect her husband president
of the United States, but she says
she believes that he will be sue
cessful next November and has al
ready written personal letters of
thanks to many clubs that have sig
nified their intention of helping her
husband in his fight.

Especial to The Free Press.

Atlantic City, July 10.-This city,
which is entertaining several nation
al conventions this week, is devot-
ing much attention to the national
prohibition convention which began

al candidates in the field for nomi-
nation for president and vice-presi-
dent. Among the fifteen hundred
delegates are several women from
California.
The platform besides favoring the
usual prohibition policies, will prob
ably include planks regarding the
sale of liquor, one endorsing Wo-
man suffrage, government ownership
of public utilities, the initiative,
referendum and recall and election
of United States senators by di-
rect vote. Among the names sug-
gested for the presidential nrmina-
ton are ]. w. Folk, Y. Frank Hanly,

DEATH RATE MUCH LESS
Fewer Number OF Men Killed in Mines
the Figures From Government
Bureau.
ISpecial to The Free Press

Washington, July 10.-The United
States bureau of mines has collect
ed and made ready for distribution
figures which show that the high
tide in the terrible death rate in
American coal mines has been
reached and passed. The figures
show that 2,517 men were killed in
mines last year as against 1924 for
1910. This shows reduction in
the number of lives lost of 317 in
one years time. The death rate in
1910 was 3.91 men in every 1000
employed The rate in 1911 was
3.74. Compared with 1907, the dark
est year in the history of American
mining, when 3,197 men lost their
lives, 1911 shows a decrease of $50
in the number of killed. 1t was fol-
lowing the record of this year that
congress authorized the government
to begin Investigations looking to-
ward the reduction in the death rate
and this was supplemented in 1910
by the creation of the bureau of
mines.

The good roads committee of the
Commercial club met yesterday af,

ers and asked that the commission
ers pledge themselves to improve

County Surveyor Brooks has esti-
mated that the work will cost about
$1,000 mile. and most of the work
necessary is on the Mankato side
of Strands ravine. There will be
little expense in improving the road
beyond the ravine. The Indian Lake
road will be Strengthened and widen
ed and the Red Jacket bridge hill
will be graded down.
This work under the Elwell act
is done according to plans approved
by the state highway commission
and under the supervision of the

FIRE LOSS is LARGER
What the Report Of State Marshal Points
Out; Figures For June We're
Disappointing.

St Paul, July 1O.-Dispersing the
bands of yeggmen who robbed and
burned stores and buildings in Min
nesota last year, has not caused an
appreciable reduction in fire losses,
according to a report given out Tues
day by Charles E. Keller, state fire
marshal. On the other hand, the
loss by fire in June, 1912, is greater
than the loss in the same month OF
1911 by almost $15O,0OO.
in ST. Paul during June, 1872,
there were % fires, entailing loss
of 1894. In Minneapolis, there were
SO fires, causing loss of $79,349,
and in Duluth 20 fires, which cost
1881. Outside of the three cities
there were So fires, which caused a
loss of $168,995. The total for the
state aggregated $265,839.
During June, last year, the total
less was $117,57S.

WHERE IS THE MONEY
Question Asked By St. Peter Tribune
Anent Baseball Situation in
That City.

ST. Peter Tribune: The ball game
which was to be played here last
Sunday between the locals and the
Mankato Loyola team was not pulled
off, The visitors were on the grounds
ready to play ball, and when the
usual hour came for the game to
start, and no st. Peter players to
be found. Umpire Nyquist forfeited
the game to Mankato. To this deal
hangs a story as interesting as the
capture of Sitting Bull. The story is
passed around that the treasurer has
over 81 left, with about
$35 at least to be paid out for play
ers and umpire. Now the question
is where is all the money that was
collected this spring, for the benefit
of the st. Peter Athletic association.
1t was not understood by some OF
the donators, that all Of this money
was to be paid for ball playing.
Well it's never too late to learn.
