ter and Springs Leak.


Minot, N. D., Sept. 18.-Fourteen
school teachers had a narrow escape
from drowning in the Mouse river
when the launch of George Bissell
struck an iron pipe under water and

was aid under the water for the pur-
pose Of wrecking the boat.
The teachers were on their way to
Wildwood, where they were going to

the home of Mrs. John Campbell,
where they had lunch and spent the

ADDITIONAL SOCIETY.
SUFFRAGE NOTES

Minneapolis suffragists organized a,
new club at a meeting yesterday after
noon at the home of Mrs. Andreas Ue-
land. Their purpose is to make a nu-
cleus of an efficient state organization.
The organizers are: Mrs. Andreas
tia C~ountryman, Mrs. II. @. Harrison,
Mrs. Walter Thorp, Miss Nellie Mer-

sr,, Mrs. Thomas Lowry, Miss Hope
Mcdonald, Miss Charlotte Passmore,
Mrs. d, p. Jones, Mrs. Clarkson Lind
ley, Mrs. f. B. Snyder and Mrs. James
Paige.
Minnesota has crying need of a bus
inesslike suffrage organization" said
Mrs, ueland. Without it our labor
tofore Minnesota suffrage societies nave
been academic, but now we plan to
form a political organization modelled
on the same lines as political parties.
The Woman's Suffrage party Of New
York is organized on the same basis
and it has proved to be a most efficient
device for promoting woman suffrage,
which, in the first place, will be made
up both men n women"
The new society plans to organize the
state thoroughly. A central organizing
committee of members representing all
and administrative body. The state
will be divided into counties, legisla-
tive districts, wards and precincts, and
each division will have its local leader
and organization. The club organized
today will organize Hennepin county.
Ramsey county will be In the hands of
the Woman's Welfare league Of St.
Paul.
Ofhcers OF the club have not been:
elected. The following committees are
planned:
Extension work, to be known as the.
Wone voters committee, TO extend the
organization throughout the county.
Education, to reach not only voters,
but also ~non-voters, women and chill
dren, and educate them in Woman Dr.
frage.# This committee will try to get
every organization, from business mems
clubs to sewing circles. TO listen to a
suffrage speech at least once a year.
Junior, to convert the students OF
university and public schools and
young people in factories and depart
mert stores.
There will also be a membership
committee and a literary committee to
keep suffrage literature lis circulation.
The ultimate purpose 10 to carry 81
bill for a constitutional amendment
through the Legislature next session.

NO AUTHORITY TO

Terry Gives Opinion to Board of Reve-

Cannot Be EMPLOYED

According to the opinion of w. X.
Terry, attorney for the board of rev.
enue, that body has no authority to
appoint assistant coroners as the law
passed at the last Legislature In this
regard made no provision for such as
sistants. The matter was brought be-
fore the board by statement made by
Chief Bodeker that the board ought to
appoint four assistant coroners. The
matter was discussed by the members
and the following statement was made
to the board by Mr.. Terry:
"In The Age-Herald of Monday morn
ing. the 22d inst. Chief of Police
George II. Bod ker is quoted as saying
There ought to be at least four
coroners in the city of Birmingham
and the county board of revenue ought
in justice to the county, provide such
number
"As the attorney Of the board of rev.
enue, desire to state for the informa-
tion of, the public that the board OF

MAY BRING Up GAS
QUESTION TODAY
Commission May Also Take
Steps for Calling Audi
tOrium Bond Election

Members of the city commission
would not say yesterday that an ordi-
nance reducing the gas rates of the
city would be passed this afternoon to
test the city's authority in the matter,
but indications are that such may be
done. Following conferences over data
secured recently by District Attorney
Romaine Boyd, it seems certain, how
ever. that such a step will at least be
taken in the near future.
The matter of lower gas rates has
been before the commission for sew
eral months, 1t being claimed by some
that Birmingham deserves lower rates
by reason of comparison with rates in
other cities. The gas company com
bats this theory and it seems prob
able that an ordinance will be passed
in order to bring the proposition to t,
head.
Following conference yesterday
with Chairman p. G. Shook of the
Chamber of Commerce auditorium com
mittee, 1t Is stated a resolution will be
passed at the commission meeting to-
day authorizing the city attorney to
draft an ordinance calling the audi
torium bond election, which is now ex-
pected to occur about November 3.
Chairman Shook states that as soon
as the date of the election is an
nounced the committee will begin ac-
tive campaign work and keep it up
until the polls are closed.

LOOK INTO FIGHT
ON WATER RATES
Federal Investigators Seek.
ing Data on Efforts of
Railroads

That special agents of the depart
ment of justice were investigating in
this state the alleged. antagonism of
railroad interests to water transporta-
tion and the developments of the rivers
reported here yesterday. 1t is stated
that since the interstate commerce
commission investigated the alleged in
fluence of railroads against river rates
that sufficient data was accumulated
to interest the department of justice.
The information disclosed the investi-
cation was given the department of
investigation is being made.
The special agents of the department
of justice, 1t is stated, are investigat-
ing the suicide two years ago of a
steamboat captain near Mobile, the sub
sequent burning of his boat and other
recent facts in connection with rail-
road and water fights in this state.
At this time 1t is impossible to OBJ
tain any official data upon the gem
eral investigation or the facts said to
have been unearthed. However 1t is
said that several Birmingham men have
been interviewed by the special agents
from Washington and it is even as
serted that an assistant to the Attor-
ney General has been in Birmingham.
1t is understood that sdevelopments
of an unusually interesting nature will
be given out during the next few weeks
or Just as soon as the government ha 6
finished the investigation started here
