noon will come the usual selection of
all American, all Eastern and all
Western teams for the season of 1914.
The adherents of the two United States
ace DENY teams will await these myth
ical combinations with more than usu-
al interest this season since both the
Annapolis and West Point teams in
clude players thought by their admir-
ers to be of all American caliber.
Last year the army and navy each
succeeded in placing a player on the
team considered by football followers
in general to be the nearest approach
t. an official eleven. Brown, Of the
Cadets team, was placed at right guard
and Merillat, Of the Middies, at right
end. This brought the total UP TO ~

1918. Bunker, the Armys right tackle,
and DAILY, quarterback in 1901, were

service football men made the all
American team again. In that year the
two academies divided hOnors, DeVore

Here's the Way to Stop Automobile Collisions With Trains
Set Pretty Young Girl With Flag Every Grade Crossing

NORTH PLATTE. Neb.. July 2S-To
the Editor of The Bee: When the engi-
neers in the state OF Nebraska in railroad
service saw how careless and dangerous
the drivers who operate a motor vehicle in
trying 60 cross ahead Of railroad trains
on county highways, had a bill introduced
at our last legislature known as the
Hoagland Senate File No. SO, to compel
all motor vehicles TO come to a full stop
not more than fifty feet away from the
track nor closer than fifteen feet to the
track, before they would attempt to cross
1 only wished we had space in your coll
umn to give the whole bill This bill
was very much objected to by the judicial
committee. for they thought it would
exonerate the railroad companies from
any liability. II the bill had been passed
as introduced there would have been no
liabilities to exonerate. The day had
my hearing before the judicial commit
tee, Senator Saunders and Senator Dodge
of Douglas county made very ferocious
fight. and wanted to throw me and my
bill over the transom, but after strong
argument they submitted an amendment
to- six-mile-an-hour instead of a stop,
which practically killed the bill So you
see the responsibility for all the motor
vehicle accidents that have occurred since
March, 1912 must be laid at the doors of
the office OF State Senators Saunders and
Dodge. II we could induce Governor
Aforehead to call an extra session OF the
legislature to pass three bills, or CONSOLE
date them all in one, the lives OF his con-
stituents would be saved, and he could
have any gift of office the voters OF the
state of Nebraska could. give him.
The first bill. to have the state employ
all idle young women to flag the county
highways over all railroad crossings with
knees crossed, wearing split skirts, as a
picture on the top of this article repre-

braska feel confident that Senator Dodge
and Senator Saunders of Douglas county
would give up their desires to be a menu
Der of congress should this bill pass and
aspire for county road overseer, espe-
cially in the precinct where there are
numerous railway crossings.

DEATH Of mrs.

Concerning the death of Mrs. Mayme
Osborne Frawley, former Baraboo
resident, a Boise, Idaho, paper says:
Mrs. E. ]. Frawley, a prominent So
ciety woman, died in a local hospital
about 8:15 Saturday night from severe
burns caused by an explosion of gaso-
line at her home, 1924 West Jefferson,
early Saturday afternoon. Il
Mrs. Frawley was an ideal mother
andshostess and had made the summer
vacation for her son, Robert Osborney
and his guest, August Dasso, .excep-
tionally pleasant. She had planned a
dancing party oatake place Saturday
night for the two boys, who were soon
to leave for school. The floors of the
spacious dancing room in the basement
had been cleaned with gasoline early in
the morning and all the doors
and windows were left wide open to
allow evaporation. There was every
reason to suppose the gasoline was all
out and Mrs. Frawley lighted some
papers in the fireplace. There was a
terrific explosion which shook the house
and filled the place with flames. Mrs.
Frawley was completely enveloped in
the fire. Her clothes were entirely
burned and her flesh terribly scared.
August Dasso, a guest in the house,
and Donald H. Eagleson rushed to the
injured woman's assistance and neigh
bors hurried to help.

right, and instructed them just what
to do. Not one moan or complaint
did she make, although she
suffered agonies. No attempt
was made to apply any remedies
as the doctor was soon on the scene
and Mrs. Frawley was taken to the
hospital.
