CHILD. IS STRUCK
BY AUTOMOBILE

Bertha Donovan, seven years of age,
and residing with her parents at POP
Cedar street, was struck by an auto
mobile during the noon hour today at
the corner Of Mesaba avenue and
Chestnut street, and knocked to the
pavement. She was hurried to Le-
nont's hospital where it was found that
her wounds consisted of an abrasion
on the left side of the face and head.
She could not remember the given
name of her father.
The car that struck the child is
owned by w. H. Congdon of Tower and
was driven by a regularly licensed
chauffeur named Walgang. Besides
the two mentioned there was in the
Ear at the time, a woman friend of
Mrs. Congdon's and a small boy.
''The Donovan child ran right in
front of the car said Mrs. Congdon
who expressed sincere sorrow over
the accident and whose car took the
child to the hospital. Mrs. Congdon
waited at the hospital until the child's
head was dressed and then took her
home. "There were two teams just
ahead of u.s. continued Mrs. Congdon.
'The Donovan child ran to avoid them
and, not seeing our car, ran right in
front of it. She was knocked to one
side and fell on the pavement"

Winnipeg Recruiting Station
Gets Scores of Offers from
Americans.

WINNIPEG, Oct. 29.-There are
American letters by the score among
the daily mail at militia headquarters.
They come from men who wish to en-
list; from officers who want commits
sions, and many who offer to raise
whole companies and even regiments
for the Canadian forces which will
fight with the allies. There are let
tiers from inventors with new ex-
plosives to blow up the whole Ger
man army; letters from cranks with
new guns and new equipment, and
from airship men with new craft and
unique schemes.
One wealthy Texas citizen has Of
fered to raise no less than 5000 sturdy
Texas rangers, "all crack shots and
expert riders" Mexico is evidently
growing dull and the Texans want
something more exciting. If there
was any way of getting these men
without violating the neutrality of
the United States, Canada would like
to have them, as no better soldiers
could be obtained in the world. The
Texas writer said his whole 5000
were men Of British descent.
One major of the American regular
army has offered to resign his COM
mission and join Canada's army, pro-
vided he is given similar rank in the
Canadian forces. He also offered to
bring with him 500 fighting men.
Some Americans are most persist
ant with their efforts to get into fight
ing line. One Minnesota captain,
when the call for recruits was made,
came here to ask commission. He
followed the troops to Valcartier, Que,
but as there were more officers than
were needed, he was not taken. Now
he again wants a chance and as
veteran of the Spanish-American war
and a soldier of long experience, he
may be given one.

Both have many friends who join with the Independent in very best wishes for a long, happy and prosper ous welded union.

THREATENS TO
 REVOKE CHARTER
Of Oil Company By Reason of Alleged Suits Removal From
 State to Federal Court.
Special to Independent.

Special to Independent.
 Little Rock, Oct. 8.-Secretary of State Hodges announces that he will in all probability revoke the charter of the Southern Cot ton Oil Company, a New Jersey corporation, to prohibit their doing business in Arkansas.
 This is made by the showing made by Stuckey & Stuckey and Campbell & Suits, Newport at torneys, to the effect that Frank Collins, who had been in the en- ploy of the Company's mill at Newport for one week, had brought suit for damages for personal injuries sustained while engaged in oiIing machinery; his left leg was broken and he was otherwise maimed and in- jured, December 10, 1913, and asked for $5,000 damages on September 8, 1914, the corpora tion, without the consent and over the protest of the plaintiff, removed the suit to federal court at Batesville. Forfeiture of the charter is asked because the removal from a state to a federal court is in violation of Act SIS approved May IS, 1907.
 In the case of the Kimberlite Diamond Mining and Washing Company, under similar condi- tions, the supreme court sustain ed the Secretary of State in a revocation of the charter, holding that it is mandatory and not optional. The state has pending against the company, suits asking aggregate penalties of about $4,000,OOO for alleged vialotion of the antitrust law. There is a question whether a revocation of charter will abate this action, and test suit a. Igainst another corporation is now pending in the Arkansas su- preme court.

 Little Rock, Oct. 8.-The Lit tie Rock Clearing House Asso- citation late Wednesday after noon reached a decision that if the plan proposed by Secretary McAdoo for a pool to take care of the cotton situation should prove fully satisfactory when the details are worked out, the Little Rock banks would do their share. O. c. Price, pres ident of the Chamber of Com merce, was instructed to so mo- tify him. The prevailing opin- ion was that the Little Rock banks would put from five to ten per cent of their capital, surplus and undivided profits to assist in the movement for the stableizing of the cotton market, and to prevent its fall ing below a living price.

Dewein Strong Appeal Before
 Court.

Special to Independent.
 Little Rock, Oct. 8.-The Ar kansas Supreme Court is ex- pected to render a decision Monday in the appeals of Clar- ence Dewein and Jo Strong, boys killed an aged merchant convicted in Saline county of first degree murder. These while robbing his store. De- vein is alleged to have con- fessed the crime and gave the evidence which led to the con- viction of Strong.
 Attorneys who appealed for the boys expect a reversal be- cause they were forced to ac- cept on the jury which tried Strong and Dewein a juror who should have been excused for cause; and another juror who had not only expressed an O. pinion on the case before it came to trial, but sought a place on the jury as we'll. They further allege that Dewein did not make the confession of his own free will, as the law re- quires, and that the court re- fused to give instructions on second degree murder, as asked by them. Both boys are under sentence of death.
