you or your contributors grant me the
FAVOR of explaining definitely and Spe-
officially. with an unbiased mind, he
following questions which constantly
arise to excite the curiosity of my mind
through the persistent emphasis placed
on the subject by German, German
American and pro-German contributors
10 your paper:
/. What is this German "Kultur' we
hear so much about? Is there no way
of giving it a definition?
>. In what way or ways has this
"kultur" benefited the U. S. A.-aye!
and the whole world for that matter
10 Il greater extent than the culture Of
any other or all the other nations?
3. If the Germans made such a grand
tight for the unfolding of American
independence, liberty and civilization,
how is it that they put up such a chick
en-hearted effort when it came to
fighting for the establishment and
maintenance of a representative gov
eminent Of their own in Germany?

cnce, industry and wealth of the U. S.

One American Woman.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Thanks-great thanks-to Mr..
K. II. Davis for his direct appeal to the
American people. While President VIII
SON was earnestly asking OF American
men neutrality, not merely in act and
speech hut in thought, William the
Matchmaker was declaring war to the
bitter end on women and children, on
the homes of all civilized nations.
"Once more we hear the word that
sickened earth of old; =,
No law except the sword, unsheathed

Once more it knits mankind; once more

BATH CONSTABLE
Holds at Bay States Attorney i'm Raid
Against Harvest Hands.

Aberdeen. July 21.-The /. w. w.
situation is quiet here today. All the
men arrested Saturday night have
been released except a half dozen of
the leaders who will be given a hear
ing tomorrow.
The attitude of the authorities to-
ward the men is aroUsing consider
able criticism. The states attorney
and a special officer visited Bath
Sunday. evening and attempted TO
drive 200 men out Of that town. A
number of the men, in running from
the officers, went on to property
owned by Constable Stickney and he
told them TO stay there as they were
violating no law. The officers at
tempted to drive them off and Stick
ney interfered. He told them unless
they had a warrant the men would
stay where they were. When the Of
icers insisted Stickney drew two
guns and held them at bay.
These men deny that they are af-
fliated with the /. w. w. They say
the a~gitators of that order kept fol-
lowing them up and they cannot get
rid of them.

About 125 harvest hands came i'm

are not a bad bunch. Some of them

Frank Beckner has been appointed

working men in the city. So far
there has been no disturbances, but
the men are inclined to wander away

private lawns. This is not to the lik-

TO police headquarters TO send an of

gan 917 Nebraska street. a brake
man on the Milwaukee railroad, was
shot t. death at 3:35 o'clock Sunday
morning near Scotland. s. ID. Before

Posses of farmers, county officers
and railroad agents, headed by Paul
Barcus of Sioux City. scattered over
Bonhomme and Hutchinson counties
in search of three negroes who were
beating their way on the train that
.Calligan was helping to operate.
1t is the belief Of officials that Cal
ligan was shot by one of a gang of
floating harvest hands" such as
have perpetrated robberies and thefts
in Sioux City and through the grain
territory. Calligan was shot when he
interrupted the negroes while they
were attempting to loot a car, it is
thought.
Four hundred "hoboes" were on
the train at the time Of the killing.
Several thefts had occurred on the
train during the night, Calligan was
rear brakeman, and the attacks on
car seals were made i'm his section OF

Calligan was shot above the heart.
The bullet went through the left
shoulder. He clambered over seven
cars to the caboose, whispered that a
negro had shot him and died. The
train was backed rapidly to Scotland.

was useless.
Search of the train showed that
three negroes who had been seer
near the rear of the train were gone.
Farmers were aroused by use of rural
telephones. Two bloodhourds were
sent TO the scene of the crime from
Mitchell.
Late in the afternoon seven ne
groes were arrested at Letcher. Three
men said to have witnessed the affair
are being held at Scotland. Three
negro suspects were taken i'm custody
at Trip. The witnesses. who are
white men, say they can identify the
murderer.
Calligan lived with a brother, T. H.
Calligan. His body was taken to the
Westcott undertaking rooms and was
sent to his former home at Negaunee,
Mich, last night.
Calligan was 2S years of age and
is survived by six sisters and FIVE
brothers.

CAUSE TROUBLE
Aberdeen Police Have Exciting Ex-
perience With RObOe>.

Aberdeen, July 21.-Because the
secretary of the Aberdeen CONNER
cial club published a notice in the
local papers advising farmers not to
pay more than $3.50 to harvest
hands, this city had am exciting ex-
p~erience with a large gang of tramps
and labOrers claiming affliation with
the L. w. w. and who had ]conspiTed
among themselves to hold out for SO
a day.
The /. w. w. agitators attempted
to hold street meetings here to work
up a general hold-Out of harvest
hands, and about twenty-five of the
leaders were thrown into Jail. Fol
lowing this action a large mob Of the
itinerants gathered with the threat to
storm the city and release their fell
lows.
Police Commissioner Lynch put a
large force of special deputies i'm
commission, many of them members
Of the local military company. and
the /. w. w. crowd was held i'm re-
straint. Trains were stopped outside
the city and incoming hoboes were
chased from the trains and ordered
not to come into this city. Many of
them headed out into the country dis
trict i'm search of work, while others
headed for towns less militantly ar
rayed against their class.
Among those melting the tran
sients TO acts of violence were two
women. giving their names as Katy
Solomon and Jane Kaufman. The
latter styles herself as queen of the
hobOes."

THRESHERNIEN
Must File Indemnity Insurance Ac-
cording to State Law.

Pierre. July 21-The state insur-
ance department proposes to strictly
enforce a legislative enactment of
1911 in regard TO threshers filing
security for losses from fire which
may be started by their machines.
The law requires thresher operators
to secure aud file either a bond i'm the
sum of $500 or an insurance policy
in some authorized insurance com
pany. Such surety against loss Is to
be filed with the clerk Of courts i'm
the county in which the operator re-
sides, in case he is a resident of the
state, or with the state auditor in
case of a nonresident. The depart
ment holds that failure or refusal on
the part Of threshing machine oper-
ators to file this security leaves them
without any standing in court in an
effort to collect on a threshing bill.
The penalty for failing or refusing to
file such security is fixed at $500.
The department announces that it
viii prosecute any violations brough
to its attention.

FARMER
Rye Yields a Crop After Being Sown
Two Years.

Highmore, July 21.-Taking a big
crop of rye from forty acres of land
after the seed has been sown for two
years with slight evidence of its ever
bringing a harvest is the experience
of X. Halwick, who lives northeast
of this city.
Two years ago Halwick sowed his
forty acres to rye and gave his at
tention to other crops on the rest of
his farm. He got no crop at all in
the rye field and marked il up as a
total loss. Last year some of it
came up, bringing him about 200
bushels from the whole forty acres.
and he had about given up hope OF
getting anything more than that for
his seed and work. This year the rye
came up of itself and he announces
that he is going to have a big har-
vest.

Ferber's house, saddled his horse
and rode to Gust Ferber's, another
brother, and shortly after reaching
there again became very sick and
grew worse until he expired about 8
O'Clock on the second day after the
incident. He is alleged to have stated
at one time that a horse kicked him,
but later acknowledged that Schultz
had done the kicking.
The coroner's jury, after investi-
eating the affair, held Schultz for
manslaughter. Ferber was a man
weighing 200 pounds, strong and
powerful, and was never known to
be sick. Schultz is % years of age.
The physicians state that the injury
to the stomach of Ferber brought on
p]eTitonitis, which caused his death.
