their berths. But there were some signs

Capt. Roberts on Bridge.
Ten minutes before the crash Capt.
Roberts OF the American liner, because OF
the fog. had ordered the watertight COM
partments of the New York closed. Capt.
Roberts. who was on the bridge, about
this time began to hear the siren Of the
Pretoria.
The wireless man on the Pretoria was
holding a close conversation with the
wireless operator of the New York. The
sirens OF both ships crooned steadily As
siren and wireless showed that the ships
were almost touching elbows Capt. Rob
erts an English sailorman OF many years
experience first eased of on even the slow
pace which the New York was making
and then had his engines stopped
For almost ten minutes the New York
rolled lazllv. The steady blasts from the
bigger German liners siren sounded
nearer and nearer Out Of the fog blanket
came vague mass almost within reach
OF Capt Robertss left arm. The skipper
OF the New York snapped an order to the
Quarterma ster, "A moment after the Amer
ican liners whistle had told Capt. Dugge
of the Pretoria that the New York was
not under way. The New York's quarter
master signalled the engine room. Full
speed astcrn"
A point more to starboard and the
Pretoria would have slid along the port
side of the New York without much
damage. But the German hadn't time
10 make that point and 50 her prov
banged into the comparatively marked
overhang of the New York and went
through the American liners plates like
a can opener.
The New York at the moment of impact
was under way astern and the Pretoria
was nosng along but slowly Neverthe-
less the momentum and great tonnage
back of the Germans blow sent the New
York keeling over to s.arboard. Capt
Roberts had barely taken from his lips
the megaphone through which he had
been yelling to Capt. Dugge to go to port
The message was either misunderstood
or lost altogether in the steady duet OF
sirens as the ships came together.
II was a very short time after the blow
was delivered that the ships parted. The
New York was going astern by this time
faster than the Pretoria was coming on
and so the American liner pulled herself
loose. \ moment after the high bow OF
the Pretoria, sticking up in a ghostly
way high above the promenade deck Of
the New York, veered TO starboard and

feet or more. plates scraping plates. Then
the fog curtain dropped between the two
ships and they didn't see each other
again.

NEW CITY HALL
NEARING COMPLETION

The arrival early in the week of a
large quantity of material including
cages, cots, and other similar equip
ment, reminds us that the New City
Hall is fast nearing completion.
Most of the interior work is complet-
ed except the laying Of the compost
tion flooring, the delay in this depart
ment being caused by the non-arrival
of the material, it being planned to
lay the flooring at both the city hall
and the new Washington school at the
same time
When completed the new building
will be not only the most handsome
but also the most modern and service
able structure Of it's kind in the entire
state of Montana.

PUBLIC SERVICE HEARING
HELD LAST THURSDAY

The hearing of the State Public Ser
vice Commission, which was contin-
uation of the initial hearing held in
the County Court House on September
End, took place last Thursday after
noon, October 1st, before much larg-
er crowd of spectators than attended
the first one.
Commissioner Dan Boyle was alb
sent, Commissioners Morley and Hall
being in attendance.
General Haskell appeared for the
Glendive Heat, Light & Power COM
pany, while City Attorney Desmond J.
O'Neil, represented the City of Glen
dive.
DR.. A. A. Baker testified for the City
Council on the matter of street light
ing, the gist of his testimony being to
the effect that the arrangements made
by the city with the local electric COM
pany was a verbal one and tentative in
character.
Chief of Police C. A. Kinney also
testified for the city relative to the
White Way lights and to the question
of the $40 meter deposit, upon which
latter point, General Haskell brought
out the information that under the
proposed rates, the meter deposit
would be an amount of money equiva-
lent to one and one-half months es-
timated electric light bill
A. P. Baldwin, superintendent of the
Masonic Block, in testifying to his
willingness to pay the several hundred
dollars annual increase in his steam
heating bill under the proposed rates,
admitted owning only two shares out Of
the total of $50 shares of the stock Of
the Masonic Building and at the same
time testified to owning SO shares in
the electric company. He averred that
even under the proposed rates, the
cost of heating the building would be
less than it was when the old individ-
ual heating plant in the basement was
used.
H. X. Allen of the Review testified
for the electric company, and stated
that while he did not know how many
kilowatt hours of electric energy he
was consuming each month, he was
very we'll pleased with the SER
vice and satisfied with the rates.
Bookkeeper Monroe of the Hotel Jor-
dan, the largest consumer of light and
heat in the city, and Harry Dion. the
second largest user, both testified that
their heating increase, under the pro-
posed rates, of approximately $40O
and 5000 respectively, would be satis-
factory to them.
The meeting was then adjourned
and the members of the commission
were taken to see the new plant now
in course of construction.
The commission is not expected to
render final decision in the case be-
fore the first of November.

ANOTHER RECORD ARREST
MADE BY CITY POLICE

CITY Police Officers Austin and

GO SLOW
IS ADVICE
OF LODGE

Cambridge, Mass. June Establishing
problems, social and governmental,
must find their solution through ac-
acknowledgement of the past and a cool
Judgment of the present" United States
Senator Henry Cabot Lodge told mem
bers of the Harvard Alumni associa-
ton, in his address as presiding officer
at the annual meeting.
Just now we have with us one or
the recurrent periods when the world
is filed with reforms, largely destruc-
tive and punitive in character, gener-
ally of that most attractive kind, which
aims at making some one other than
ourselves virtuous by practice of law.
There Is all about us a widespread
desire to elevate the moral or material
conditions Of others. To all such pro-
positions the university must give ad-
mission for purposes of study.
The university must look upon them
and examine them, not morally in the
roseate glow of enthusiastic hope, but
bv the cold clear light Of the past,
before she decides that they are fit for
the ordeal of the future and will prove
a benefit to mankind.
"The university must not in its
eagerness to be in sympathy with the
present, which is so evanescent that
some philosophers deny it's existence,
forget that the future is built upon the
mast and that house without any
| foundation is more unstable even than
the one which rests upon the shifting
| sands"

The great clock on the front of the
A. L. Moody building registers $685.
593. This grand total is result of
splendid work done yesterday by the
various teams in the campaign to
raise 100000 in six days for Fargo
college. Yesterday was the first day
of the campaign. Five days remain in
which to secure the balance neces-
sary, $31,500. This amount of money
is not large amount for the citizens
of Fargo to give, but it is an impossi-
BILE amount unless every man and wo-
man will do his and her best to make
a real sacrifice to put the campaign
through to success.
Workers Realize Task.
The workers in the campaign realize
that they are facing a real issue. That
this campaign cannot be won unless
every one On every team makes an
honest effort which he agreed over
his signature to do. Campaigns are
not won by magic, but by honest work.
If the work is not done, the campaign
fails and every man or woman who
shirks to that extent, causes defeat.
Plan of Payment.
The terms of making payment of
pledges made in this campaign are
most reasonable. The subscriptions
run over a period of five years, giving
any citizen a reasonable opportunity
to make a contribution. Certainly no
one who is at all interested in the fu-
ture of Fargo College can have any
excuse on these terms. AS one work
er put it yesterday, there is certainly
not a Fargo citizen who Is at all in
terested in the welfare and the future
of this splendid educational institu-
