Rodgers to Improve
Wild Rover This Fall


Captain Rodgers of the wild Ro-
ver." flagship of the Morton lake fleet,
and veteran river boatman, confessed
today that when his craft was launch
ed his capital had been reduced to
something less than one dollar. Conse-
quently the harvest of money reaped
Sunday from pleasure seekers who
boarded the "Wild Rover" was more
than welcome and most encouraging
to him.
The boat as you see it now is mere
Iy the hull with a temporary engine" "
Captain Rodgers said. This fall and
winter l will make improvements on
her and when the park season opens
next spring / will have a boat that
will be a credit to this picturesque
lake will build a cabin and an engine
room on the Wild Rover and the craft
will be operated either with a gasoline
engine or by electricity. The paddle
wheel will be considerably improved
and new rudders provided.
Il think moonlight trips on the lake
next summer will be very popular" /"
Captain Rodgers added with a smile.

spected the park and enthusiastically
pronounced ii one of the most beauti-
full he had ever seen.
1T presents wonderful possibilities, /"
he informed the park company Off
cials.
Later in the year Griffiths will re-
turn to Richmond and it is possible
that at that time he will close a deal
for establishing a white city at Nor
ton park near the east end of the lake
Park officials are to insist on a gen.
erous per centage of the revenues
from the dancing pavilion. bathing
beach and other concessions so that
the company will be assured of enough
funds at all times to build driveways
and make other necessary improve
ments. and it is probable an experienc-
ed park man will be appointed as gen.
eral manager of the park.
Lots along the lake shore were be-
ing numbered today and after prices
for the various lots have been fixed
they will be placed on sale.
Il would like to see the prices for
these lots range from $50 to $500 so
that all classes OF citizens can AFFORD
to purchase them," Secretary Jordan
said today.

COMMERCIAL CLUB
DEFERS ACTION ON
VOTING MACHINES
Vote Stands % to IL to Post
pOne Endorsement of
the Device.
FOULKE AGAINST MOVE
Freeman Outlines Offer of
Empire Voting Company
to the County.

Action on the voting machine pro.
ject was deferred by the Commercial
Club last night on vote of 20 to IL,
until more thorough investigation OF
the alleged merits of the device had
been made. The project came before
the organization on the call for old
business.
William Dudley Foulke moved to ac-
cept the report of the investigating
committee, but not to recommend pur-
chase until a more thorough investi-
cation has been made county prosecu-
tor Keller seconded the motion.
In speaking on his motion Mr..
foulke said he had at first been in IA
vor of voting machines but had since
become dubious after learning how
they may be manipulated.
Jeopardizes Ballot.
They may save us money he said
but If they endanger the purity of an
election / am afraid we would buy
their economy at too great a cost"
Twenty-three voted to sustain Mr..
Foulke's motion, with twelve opposed.
The course of the proposed step
was reviewed by K. M. Haas, speaking
for the board of directors.
The club also considered the pro-
posed establishment of a tuberculosis
hospital in Wayne county. Speeches
were made by w. D. Thurber and DR..
Severance Burrage,- representing a
state organization for the prom otion
of the fight against the malady. Decis-
ion on the step was held in abeyance.
Haas Outlines Work.
Mr.. Haas in his outline of the action
taken by the Commercial club on the
voting machine device said:
"The matter was first brought up in
August, 1909. At that time we formal
ly recommended the machines to the
county council. Our Endorsement was
machines would cut down the number
of precincts from sitxy-four to twenty
seven, reducing election costs about
so per cent or $4,000 for each election.
A machine was placed in the CONNER
cial Club rooms and kept for several
months to give an opportunity to make
a thorough examination.
I'm 1911 the matter was again
preached and freely discussed. We
wrote to a number of county auditors
regarding the machines and received
favorable replies. And now that the
matter is once more before the club
we wish to reindorse our former re-
ports and to recommend the purchase
of machines"
Reads Replies.
Mr.. Haas read a number of letters
giving replies to list of questions
asked by the Clubs secretary. Most
of these reported favorably on the ma
chine.

A FRIEND OF j. M. COE

Daniel Sufface. n years old, former
editor and oAner of the Palladium,
died suddenly this afternoon about
o'clock at his apartments in the West
colt hotel. Death was caused by an
enlargement of the heart, superin-
duced by acute Indigestion and other
causes. He had been confined to his
bed less than twenty-four hours al
though he had been in very i'll health
since Sunday.
Il Mr.. Surface was veteran news
paper editor and publisher, a war cor
respondent for the old Cincinnati Ga
zette during the Civil war, postmaster
of Richmond from 1902 until 1906, and
at one time owner of the Richmond

! Able Journalist.
| Mr.. Surface was one of Richmond s
most prominent and best-known citi-
zens. His life was an interesting one,
and during the war of the states he
made brilliant record as a journalist.
At one time he was associated with
former Vice President Whitelaw Reid
as a correspondent for the Cincinnati
Gazette in the field with the union
forces.
| Mr. Surface tired of the strenuous
| life in the metropolitan newspaper
| field after his arduous services with
the army, and four years after the
close of the war came to Richmond
and resumed his journalistic career as
part owner of profitable weekly
newspaper He resided in Richmond
| from that time until his death.
Daniel Surface was born on a farm
near New Hope, Preble county, o., in
| ness shortly before the outbreak of
the civil war. During that conflict he
| witnessed many of the greatest bat
ties, viewing them with the trained
eye of a journalist. Consequently he
was an authority on numerous phases
of Civil War history
( When Mr.. Surface entered the news
paper business in Richmond he be-
came associated with A. G. Wilcox
! and ]. NJ. Coe, 1869. "A few months
later Wilcox sold his interest in the
paper to his two partners, who con-
Quoted it for several years, when Mr..
Surface became sole owner.
In. 1881 he sold the Telegram to E.
c. Martin and entered the manufac-
turing business as owner of the Rich
mond Chair company Because of Ill
health of his wife, and just prior to
her death, he purchased the Palladium
from the late Isaac Jenkinson, another

He took over the paper in 1897 and
continued it's publication until 1902,
when he became postmaster.

burst of violence in Mexico City prob
ably will be the signal for Intervention
by the United States. The Mexican
situation was the sole topic discussed
at the cabinet meeting at the white
house today.
The United States at present has
three warships in the Gulf of Mexico
and is holding others in readiness to
be rushed into Mexican waters. This
government will not oppose the send
ing of German warship to Mexico.
This was the statement made at the
state department following receipt of
news from Berlin that the German Of
fee had decided to send cruiser to
Mexican waters. The federal interpre-
tation OF the meaning Of the Monroe
doctrine is that it is designed to pre-
vent a foreign power from acquiring
territory within the shadow of the
United States. 1t is admitted at the
state department that on account of
the serious turn affairs have taken in
Mexico Great Britain and France will
probably send warships to Mexico. If
the presence of a fleet is made neces-
sary by further violence in Mexico
the URtted States will have the big

HUSTLE FOR MONEY
Work on Proposed WAR Aasen Statue
Held Up Until all Funds
Are Paid in,

a letter issued yesterday, by the
local committee of the Ivar Aasen Mon
ument association indicates that before
work can be proceeded with on the pro-
posed bronze statue which is to be
erected N the campus of Concordia
college, under the auspices of an asso-
citation of admirers of the great edu-
Gator in this country and Norway, all
of the money to pay the cost of the
statue must be paid in or guaranteed.
Everything is all ready for the cast
ing of the figure and base, but the
bronze company at Chic go decline to
go ahead until more substantial al
engagements have been made thar those
made at present.
Secretary Reite of the committee
says that something must be done, this
week, and that if the money cannot be
raised it is a question if the statue can
be raised and unveiled in Moorhead.
The representatives from Norway who
were coming to this country to take
part in the unwilling of the statue in
June are booked to leave Norway May
l6, but if there is a default in the col
lection of the balance of the monume
fund, about $1,000, a telegram will
have to be sent to Norway which will
mean the cancellation of all proceed
ings for this year. The letter states
that the committee has fixed it's last
hopes on the people of Moorhead and
friends tributary to take care of pro-
viding for the balance of the fund.
