THREATEN LID FOR HIBBING

THREATEN LID FOR HIBB1NG
Three Hibbing automobile owners
arrested the first of the week for
standing cars which they maintain for
hire on the main street, contrary to the
provisions of a city ordinance, promise
to see that Hibbing becomes a strictly
good town, like Virginia, after this.
They say that if the charges against
them are pushed they will voluntarily

that it is believed will be sufficient to
start real wave Of civic reform at
the county seat town. Killjoys have
threatened dire things in Hibbing be-
fore, but the old town keeps right on
in the even tenor of its way and the
majority of people at Hibbing seem to
think it's the best way, after ALL. =

sTATE 'eRAMPIoM Nor IN lT
Real Hero OF the EInks In This Conn
munIty Was the Man Who Re-
fused to Play the Game.

we had q chance to demonsTate
our theory last ran, says a writer in
the Topeka Capital 1t worked like a
potato in rheumatic's pocket.
Through the Influence Of theE1issus,
who has friends, ssVse obtained card
to a very select country club in an
eastern state where we stayed ten
days. The club had gol1tis in its
most acute form. The wen and woEn-
en- who frequented the club played
golf, talked golf, ate golG and slept,
it. It was.ethe home &c the state
champion and the. game was the one
important topic of cohEersation.
For d day or two we were lost in
the atmosphere of golf which befog-
.ged the place Then we began to at
tract a little attention by indicating
in a delicate and polite way that the
whole thing bored ms to sext4nctlon.
When we respectfully declined to en-
gage in the game or borrow any of
the implements connected with the
sport there was great surprise. Our
assertion that we did not play the
game and did not wish to was recely-
ed with amazefnent. Up to the time
of our advent the state champion had
been the colossal figure of the club.
at the end of three days we had
the state champion hanging on to the
ropes. At the end of e week his ex-
istence had been forgotten. As a
curiosity he had been crowded out of
place by the eccentric" Kansan who
sat around reading the reports of the
worlds championship games, deaf to
golf and all Of it's manifestations. It
isn't always the hand that is dealt
you. It is the way you play it.

That Vacant Chair.

Perhaps it is more sad when chair
is vacant in life than in death. Men
make feast. Many who might belong
at the table are not there. Death has
not claimed them. What the world
votes to be failures has kept them
away. In the race as it is run they are
the laggards. Perhaps, in our reckon
ing they will never win. Had you
noticed how in the next generation
their children almost always arrive?
The poor mans son is the rich man
of tomorrow and the children of fail
ures" are the country's future success
es. There is en- ebb' and flow OF for
tune which must surely reconcile us
all to the rhythm OF being. Who dares
estimate life By a single generation?

JUDGE sQUELCHEs

NO NEED FOR TRYING ON GOWN
BEFORE CURIOUS COURT
ROOM SPECTATORS.

Cheyenne. Wyo., Nov. ia propos-
al to try on gown before the throng
of curious spectators In the United
States district court was promptly
squelched today by Judge j. A. Riner,
Mrs. Jos, L. Wier on the stand in re.
buttal In the trial In which she Ia
charged with her husband, an army
officer with the theft of clothing from
Mrs. j. s. Cecil, claimed the dresses
which she asserts she bought for a
trifling sum from woman canvasser,
did not fit, and that therefore there
would have been no object in stealing
them.
Her counsel suggested that she try
one of the gowns In open court to sub
stantiate her claim. The witness
promptly consented and there was a
momentary flutter Of excitement
among. the spectators. Judge Riner,
however interrupted the proceedings
saying that the demonstration was un-
necessary.
4 Arguments were heard in the case
following the close Of the testimony
and verdict was expected by night.
The court instructed the jury to
find Lieut.. Wier not guilty, no eyi-
dence having been produced to con-
rect him with the alleged theft.

CURRENCY BILL
PROVES PUZZLE
Two Drafts Will Be Given to
Senate But Neither One
Has Safe Majority
LEADERS OF BOTH
FACTIONS WORRIED
Upper Body Of Congress Will
Consider Three Plans
at Deliberations

Washington, d. c., Nov. 19.-What
to do with the two currency reform
bills now being completed by the two
factions of the senate banking COM
mittee has begun to give serious con-
cern to senate leaders Both bills, one
representing the administration views
and the other the work of the repub-
lican committee members and Senator
Hitchcock, probably will be ready for
the senate before the end Of this
week. AS the committee is evenly d.
vided, there can be no formal report
on the Glass bill, which passed the
house, and neither of the new bills
can be offered as substitute with the
endorsement of a majority Of the COM
mittee. Both factions of the commit
tee are anxious to obtain whatever ad-
vantage there is to be had before the
senate, and /. probably will be agreed
to return the house bill without a re-
port, and submit the two new bills
as amendments.
Efforts will then be made by some
of the republican members to have
the senate consider the currency bill
item by item, 80 that each side will
have a chance to advance it's amend
ments, and have them voted on as
the reading of the bill progresses in
the senate.
Complete Draft Of Bill.
The draft of the bill by Senator
Hitchcock and the five republicans was
completed today and turned over to
Charles VA. Conante OF New York; for
technical revision, The republic
said today they were making every ef-
fort to be ready to report to the sem
ate tomorrow.
The administration democrats of the
committee took up the question of re-
funding the two per cent bonds, but
action was delayed. Two propositions
were considered. Under one the gov
ernment would redeem the bonds on
which circulation is based and the cir
culation would be converted into
treasury notes. Under the other the
entire bond issue and circulation
would be turned over to the proposed
regional reserve banks.

HEROES IN FIRE.
Rescued Passengers From
Burning Spanish Boat
Brought to Port
WIRELESS OPERATOR
WORKS INCREASINGLY
Flames Reach Dangerous
Proportions Before
Help Is Accepted

New York, Nov. 19.-Three names
stood out conspicuously in the stories
of bravery told today when the Cunard
liner Pannonia brought to port the
passengers rescued from the burning
Spanish steamer Balmes
Captain Juan Ruiese of the Balmes
spent practically five days without
sleep while he and his men held the
flames in check and guided their ship
safely into the harbor of st. Georges,
Bermuda.
Innocencio " Michacila, the wireless
operator Of the Balmes, sent the mes
sage that brought the Pannonia. Since
there was only one other man aboard
who understood English, Michacila
was obliged to be on duty without rest
to translate the messages received
from the rescuing ship.
Nicholas Arbonies, a mechanic from
the Canary Islands was the man who
led the men passengers into the blaz-
ing hold of the Balmes last Thursday
after the crew were exhausted and
ready to give up the fight.
The passengers themselves first dis
covered the fire. Some of us noticed
smoke coming through the grating of
our cabin" said Arbonies. I'VE told
the officers They opened hold num-
Der one and the smoke that gushed up
made them quickly close it again and
batten it down. Then they cut, six
holes in the hatch and the deck and
showed hose through 81.
The, passengers from the Balnes
numbered seventy-one men and thirty
two women and children. Most Of
them came from Cuba and all were
bound for ports in Spain. They will
be sent to their destination by an early
boat. None seemed the worse for their
experience. @
Keep your matches tight shut, keep
pumping in water and go ahead full
speed" was the advice Captain Cap
per of the Pannonia wirelessed to the
Balmes after the Pannonia came to
the rescue last Wednesday afternoon.
II think they must have sat on the
safety valves" said Capper today. for
the Balmes on the run to Bermuda
made at times eleven knots an hour"
It was not until the pumps of the
Bal,nes became checked and Captain
upper hand that he accepted the Pan
nonia's offer to take off his passengers.
"They came aboard like sacks of -four
said one of the Pannonia's officers
1--WE had made every preparation. The
decks were heaped with food and hot
drinks Most OF the passengers were
exhausted and many Of the women
were hysterical We did not get them
off bit too soon for just as the boats
finished their, last trip, squall broke
and we did not see the Balmes again
TO" three hours" 5.
Captain Ruise of the Balmes sent
the following message tosCaptain Cap
per of the Pannonia as the eCnnards1
liner steamed out of the Bermuda
harbor last Monday evening on her
voyage to New York.
Il wish to meet you personally to
thank you for all you have done for
me. You are gallant gentleman and
