GARRISON REPLIES
No Record Of Retired Officers Work
.is REQUIRED. He Saws.

40 AlSqulFeUs ne Says.
Washington, May 14.-Secretary
Garrison today sent to the senate his
answer to Senator .Dupont's .resolu-
ton asking for the departments rec
ord on the number and employment
both in civil and quaso-military life
OF all retired officers of the army. No
record is required by regulation Of
how retired officers are employed in
civil life, but Mr.. Garrison announc-
ed that he had written to ali officers
and would lay the Information before
the senate as soon as available.
In reply to the resolution the secre-
tary stated that since January 1,
1908. one hundred and seventy seven
retired officers had applied for service
and 107 had been detailed there being
no regulation or law to prevent such
detail.
According to the departments fig
ures there are 1.O25 officers of the
army retired list, including four
lieutenant generals, 20 major generals
and 229 %brigadier generals. The to-
tai pay Of all such officers is placed at
SO, 363,607.50.
The resolution was designed to find
II It were not possible to employ many
retired officers in work of minor char
acter now done by those on the active
list. Action on it probably will not be
taken Tor several months in view Of
Mr.. Garrison's reply.

URGE COURSE IN
GRADE SCHOOLS
Minneapolis Man Would
Have Norwegian Taught
Movement Launched

Fargo, y. D., May 14.-As a result
of the visit of ]. n. Lenker of Mime
apolis to the city Yesterday a move
ment for the introduction of the Nor.
wegian language i'm h public schools
i'm this city and Moorhcad is under
head normal school Yesterday morning
and later at the C%oncordia college
and ladies' seminary in Fargo.
Mr.. Lenker's subject at the normal
school was "Training of the Tongue
and the Ear of the Child in the Grades
by Teaching Music and Modern Lam
guages." He maintains that language
and music are the hest means for
training the faculties of the child and
that the American people. especially
here in the northwest. are Very de-
ficient in language.
Would Drop Latin.
He Is in favor of dropping Latin
from the curriculum of the high
schools of the country and to substi-
tute one of the modern languages.
The teaching of nor than n lam
guage to the pupils in the high schools
he deems of the greatest importance
but he thinks that the pupils should
be allowed to chose u language with
which their parents are familiar. pre-
ferably the mother tongue, and that
the old grammar method of teaching
languages be discarded for the mod
ern method.
Teaching of more than one lam
guage to the child aids in learning
the English language as we'll as affords
the young nan and woman the adj
vantage of knowing more thar one
language" said Mr.. Lenker. He had
statistics to show that the modern or
living languages are being substituted
for Latin in most of the large city
schools and that the results are more
satisfactory.
Schools Adopt Plan.
"Thirty-fve universities in Ameri-
ca now teach the Scandinavian LAM
guage in the purse of study; in Pope
county twenty-five out of eighty dis
tricts teach Norwegian. in Stearns
eight and in Douglas county six.
Lenker holds that the large per-
centage of Norwegians in the popula-
ton Of his section make their lam
guage admirably adapted for a part
Of the language course in the schools
of this city. you have French and
German on your list of studies, then
why not Norwegian" said Mr.. Lenker.
Lenker only made a short stop in
this city enroute and leaves this morn
ing for Detroit.

lightning may never strike twice in
the same spot, but fire is not so con-
e%ideratc, as w. B. Harrington has dis
covered to his extreme sorrow. Last
fail his handsome new farm residence
on his land five miles north and five
miles west Of here, which had Just
F'een finished. was entirely destroyed.
He had the good fortune to save much
Of his furniture, his clothing and wall
uabl papers out of the burning build
ing. Ite replaced the destroyed build
ing with a cottage and that went up
in smoke, taking with it all the fur
nitur.. clothing. valuable papers and
family treasures saved out of the first
fire.
He started a fire in the stove and
went out to milk the cows. and it is
probable that the stove pipe became
overheated n started the blaze,
which got such a good start before
he noticed it that it was impossible
to extinguish 1t. The loss is total. for
there was no insurance.

sons who entered the building. Mon

their contents emptied on the floor.

Several boxes of matches were kept
on top OF the safe and these had all
been used and dropped on the floor in
front of the safe where the intruders
had beer working on the combination.
The efforts of the person or persons

was a box of cigars which Mr.. Brophy
had in the draw of his desk.

Mandan. N. D.. May 14.-1ver c.
.Iverson, mis- wife and 5-year-old
daughter had q. rather uncomfortable,
not to say hair raising adventure
when their auto overturned with
them. Mr.. 1verson was driving over
the main road leading east from the
city, when the car reached the top
of the north line embankment Mr..
Iverson saw a huge mud puddle on the
opposite side, which threatened to
make passing rather unpleasant. He
attempted to back down the slope he
had just assembled and the car skidded
down the side embankment, turning
yer at the bottom.
The three occupants were thrown
out. but luckily the wife and child es-
capped %unscathed. Mr.. Iverson was
not SO fortunate, the auto striking
him in such a way as to fracture one
rib and crack two others: his hip was
also slightly injured, but a few days
served to heal all the hurts but the
broker rib. which is still causing MI.
INerson some trouble.
