MANS TONGUE
NEARLY SEVERED

Grand Forks. N. D., Nov. THE
farm wagon of Frank Straus, residing
near Grand Forks, was struck by an
auto going at a terrific rate of speed.
according to Straus, at about mid
night Thursday when about n and
one-half miles from this city, and two
OF the occupants of the car were seri-
ously injured, one of them being in a.
condition which aus grave alarm.
This one Is Fred Williams, who lies
at st. Michael's hospital with his
tongue nearly cut in two, and his
companion. Albert Munson, is suffer
ing from fractures Of at least two ribs,
in the opinion Of the physician. How
Williams received his injury Is UNI
known, but the superstition is that
when the collision came, the man
caught his tongue between his teeth
and the horrible laceration resulted.
He cannot ~articulate and suffers ex-
cruciating agony.
The men are both strangers and the
name of the driver of the car has not
been discovered. 1t is stated that the
auto was a Ford and it's number 1889.
It Is a North Dakota car, it is stated,
and the driver came to this side of
the. river after the accident, the car
suffering but slight injury in the col
lislon. The case vas being investi-,
gated.

That the new currency to be issue
be treasury notes, obligations of the
United States, loaned to the banks, and
not bank notes guaranteed by the gov
eminent. This sustains the admins
tration bill as it passed the house.
That the new notes be redeemable
in gold by the regional banks and the
treasury, and not in gold and lawful
money" as provided by the adminis-
tration bill.
With the exception Of the proposal
to endorse the administration provis-
ion making the currency government
notes, each amendment today split the
democratic side of the committee.
Senators Reed and Hitchcock voted
with the five republicans to make the
regional banks publicly owned and
government controlled, as against the
administration proposal for. ,bank-own-
ed and bank-controlled regional banks.
On the proposal to eliminate the words
lawful money" from the redemption
clause Of the bill, Senator O'Gorman
joined Senators Reed and Hitchcock,
with the republicans, leaving only
Senators Owen, Hollis, Pomerene and
Shefroth behind the administration
provision.
All Of the democrats and Senator
Crawford, from the republican side,
voted t osustain the administration
for treasury notes.
When the committee adjourned to-
night there was pending a proposal ad-
vanced by Senator Crawford to allow
the regional banks to do a, general
commercial banking business. The
amendments adopted today, with Sen
ator Crawford's amendment, Chairman
Owen declared, would "alter the entire
theory of the BILL
1--WE started out" he said, "to write
a bill which would provide a bank of
banks with the power of rediscount,
and of issue, and which would mobilize
the banking reserves. Now we have
shifted about to a p~ublic-oWned, gov
ernment-controlled bank and it is pro-
posed to let it do q general banking
business in competition with the rs, 900
banks throughout the country"
Senator Owen said no call had been
issued for a democratic caucus on the
currency bill.
IF a caucus is called he said, II
suppose 1t will be simply to find out
what the committee is doing and why
affirmative action has not been taken
on the bill. 1T will be an advisory con-
ference

Thieves Enter Offices of Leslie WeIter.
When Leslie Welter and his son
entered their offices at the usual
time, this morning, they saw that
thieves had entered the building dur
ing the night, but not a thing was
missing. The safe door was open and
drawers and compartments had been
ransacked, evidently in the search for
money, but none was found, as the
firm make it q rule to deposit late in
the afternoon whenever receipts war
rant 1t. Little else about the place
was disturbed or mutilated. The head
Of the firm says he is convinced that
the felonious entry was made to the
premises by local persons and it is
not a difficult job as at his season of
the year 1t is necessary to keep the
cellar windows open to give ventila-
ton to the potatoes stored in the cell
lars. For future protection Mr.. We'll

Duluth Cash Close
Evening Grain Letter

Chicago, Nov. 7.-Wheat: AS a result
Of higher cables prices started about
1-2c higher and closed practically at
the opening figure. The strength in
corn was also Ii great aid in wheat and
the routine news largely favored hold
ers. Cash demand was reported good
with millers doing a good -four bust
ness. The market was purely a pro-
1esslonal affair and the utter absence
or outside interest was a noticeable
feature. We believe the present move
Inent is based largely on short cover
ing and favor profit taking on long
wheat with a view of re-instating at a
lower figure on a reaction which should
be experienced.
Corn-Has entirely fooled the local
professionals by its show of strength
especially in December. The upturn
was largely due to strong ash mar
kets west and southwest and a change
to unfavorable weather In western part
of belt with prospects of it extending
rapidly eastward. There has been
some prominent buying which has kept
the market tight and as outside trade
is light it was not hard to bring eb @
an appearance of strength. We see
nothing in the situation to change our
previous opinion and look for a lower
market tomorrow, in anticipation of
the new corn movement and the gov
eminent report due at the close of
Monday.
Oats-Marked time all day closins
unchanged practically from last nights
close. 1t appears as if the market will
follow corn closely for the present.
