ICE RUSHES PAST
PORT DEPOSIT

PORT DEPOSIT, Nd. Feb. with
little damage. hundreds of miles OF
ice have rushed down the Susque-
hanna river yesterday in the annual
January freshet The beauty of the
spectacle, so rarely enjoyed by the
citizens Of the town, has attracted
many sightseers. For 25 hours the
surging mass of ice rushed along
by a regularly increasing flood OF
waters, has passed into the Chesa-
peake. The amount of ice that is
pouring into the upper bay is far
above the average annual production,
and will probably be more of a mem
ace to navigation than before.

FED LEAGUE
MAKES RAID
ON BROWNS

ST. LOUIS, April s.-The raid of
the Federal League on the st. Louis
Browns is on in earnest. Earl Ham
ilton jumped to the Kansas City Fed
eral team Thursday morning and
Glenn Clements, the young Browns
catcher, announced Thursday after
noon that he has jumped to Joe Tink-
er's Chicago Federals. More players
are said to be ready to hurdle out 'of
the st. Louis American League team
into the Federal ranks, and what
probably is the biggest baseball war
since 1902 seems to have had its real
start in St Louis to-day.
Clemens had been ass ed by come
of the regulars that he was certain
to be identified with the team
throughout the regular season. Sun
day afternon he was told to make
ready t. go to the Oakland Club Of
the Pacific Coast League. Instead of
preparing to do as ordered he hiked
right down to the Western Union
Telegraph office and wired to George
Stoyall for job with the Kansas City
Federals. Hickey blames Clemens for
the rift in the Browns Club and feels
that the young catcher has created
much of the dissension and discord
said TO exist
Calls Meeting of Players.
i 1f 10
cal American League Club's players
at Sportsman Park Thursday after
noon for tn epurpose, it is said, Of as
certaining just how many of the fif-
teen dissatisfied Brownies are plan
ming to hop to the Federals. Those
who intend to jump will be asked to
afford the local club an opportunity to
bid higher for their services than did
Stovall.
Another Federal League agent ar
rived in ST. Louis Thursday morning
and, after introducing himself to the
Browns players Mr.. Haley, Of
Chicago, said that he is empowered
TO sign players for every club in the
Federal League The players whom
Stovall rejected will probably meet
Mr.. Haley at a Washington Avenue
boarding house Thursday night and it
is not at all unlikely that four or
FIVE of the number will sign Federal
League contracts ere another day has
passed.
Spectators ,yho journeyed to
Sportsman Park = 4ursda. mornin
to witness the scheduled gam be-
tween the Browns and st. Louis Uni
versity teams were ordered out of the
park after owner Hedges arrived on
the scene, and the game was called
off. Practically the whole force of
watchmen was on the grounds and
every entrance to the park was
closely guarded to prevent any
strangers from gaining admittance.
Have Received Big Offers.
Some of the players declare they
received such fattering offers from

sas City Club. Wednesday Afternoon,

Bice, Eich and Drs. Sihler and Drew
Unable to secure livery cars and after
appeals had been made to many pri.
vate owners, T. A. Haslam and ]. O.
Adams drove the investigators to the
ruins of the home of the ex-county au.
ditor. .... .@. .
The investigation up to this time has
been conducted without a coroner. In
leaving the city Coroner Gilbertson ap.
pointed Judge Juergens to act as his
deputy. No call has yet been made on
the coroner's Office and up to this time
Judge Juergens has taken no hand in
the proceedings.
The body of the victim was brought
to Devils Lake at 400 o'clock this
morning. A post norton will doubt
less be held late today on the return
to the city of Drs. Sihler and Drew.
Scores of friends of Robert Epp, the
man employed on the Eich farm, have
come to his defense today. With a
large number of people he has a repu-
tation as trustworthy individual. He
has been employed at the Ernie Gund
farm and the Klingle farm, besides a
considerable period on the Eich farm.
Epp is now being held in the county
Jail pending the developments.

Devils Lake, N. D., Jan. 23.-That
Mrs. Emil S. Eich met her death at
the hands Of murderer and that the
Eich home in Cato township was fired
yesterday morning in an effort to COW
er the terrible crime, is the conclus-
ion reached today as result of the
movements of officials and relatives of
the victim.
The fact that practically the entire
head of the victim was missing when
the body was recovered became known
today. The entire skull of the woman
had been battered in and despite an
untiring search practically all yester.
day, no trace was found of the frag-
ments. Only a small stub of bone at
the extreme base of the brain remain
ed. That this might have been done
by falling timbers is the theory of
some whose confidence in Epp is ex-
IRENE. That the fractured bones would
have been in close proximity with the
bones is the theory of those who fear
foul play was responsible for the ter
rible tragedy.

scene of the tragedy today, carrying

Harwood, N. D., Jan. %. - The en-
tire family of George Bolser, consist
ing of himself, his wife and his three
three children, was burned to death
at an early hour yesterday morning at
the Bolser farm home, three and a
half miles northwest of Harwood.
The cause of the fire which resulted
in the fearful tragedy, wiping out the
entire family, will never be known, as
every person in the home is dead.
Jacob Brandvig, who lives half a
mile from the Bolser home, was the
first to discover the tragedy. He saw
blaze and hurried to the Bolser farm.
When he arrived the house was mass
of flames. After the fire had cooled
down, an investigation showed the five
bodies.
They had evidently been awakened
and had tried to escape but were eth.
er overcome by smoke or gas fumes.
The bodies were all lying on the floor.
The bodies were left unmolested

GOING TO VALLEY CITY.

Langdon Republican: H. G.. Wal
dron, who has very successfully con
Quoted the Electric Theatre in Lang
don for several years, and has given
the people Of this section of the state
a motion picture service that is sec.
ond to none, has leased a building at
Valley City, in this state, and is pre-
pairing to open up a motion picture
theatre in that city the first of the
coming month. The removal of Mr..
Waldron and his family from the city
is due to the fact that Mr.. Waldron
saw in Valley City the field for just
the kind of theatre that it has long
been his desire to run, and while he
will devote his whole time to the new
venture, his theatre in Langdon will
continue to cater to the people of the
city and surrounding country.
Mr.. Waldron regrets very much to
leave the city, for he has made many
friends here in business and social
way, and has been very successful in
giving the people just what they
wanted in the way of pictures, be.
sides affording them the opportunity
of seeing the pictures as projected
with the very latest machinery in one
of the neatest little theatres in
the state, but the larger field was
something that he felt he could not
afford to pass up.
Mr.. Waldron will leave Langdon
with the best wishes of all for the
success of his new venture. .

Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Bolser, parents
of George Bolser were in Fargo attend

could locate in Fargo after the tragedy
He hunted up the stricken parents of
George Bolser and assisted them in
getting started to the scene of the
tragedy.
Mr.. Peterson states that he Bolser
family were well-to-do and highly re-
spected in the Harwood neighborhood,
They were young couple, George Boil

law abiding and practised the golden

The first repot of Elementary
School Inspector, prepared by State
School Inspector N C. Macdonald, has
been issued.
Tbs is the first report of it's kind in
the state and one of the first few in
the United States. 1t comprises the
FIRST and second annual reports of the
State Inspector of Consolidated
Graded and Rural schools for the two
years ending June 3Oth, 1913. The re-
port gives much specific information
including statistical data based upon
the personal inspection of 381 schools,
81 being consolidated, 81 graded and
243 rural. The lack of such informa'
ton has been one of the principal rea.
sons why the rural school is the lag
gard in the educational procession
The report contains 40 pages, divided
nearly evenly between written and
statistical matter; forty pages of
which deal with consolidated schools.
In addition go pages have been omit
ed from the report, for the material
had been published before in special
pamphlets.
The principal topics treated here
are briefly outlined as follows:
1-statisties.
There are eight statistical exhibits
which give some twenty thousand
(2O,OO0) statistical items concerning
the schools inspected. There are
eleven tables and table-diagrams per-
tanning to salaries, attendance, eighth
grade and high school competitions, tax
rates, lists of consolidated schools, etc.
Then in addition there are compare
tive foot-note tables which give some
useful data for all classes of public
in the state. These represent the first
attempt to give in detail such data for
all rural schools.
2-IIIustrations.
The material is illustrated with
some 80 views pertaining to school
conditions, among which are poor at
tendance of country boys and consoli-
dated school activities.
"a. 3-RuraI School Teacher.
A plea is made for more and better
trained and paid teachers in the rural
schools; for foot-note item shows
that a majority Of the rural teachers
have completed only the eighth grade
and hold only second class elemen-
tary certificate. This is described as
plain case of the blind leading the

is given as $685.; or on the twelve

in one year which is greater than the
total for five years preceding The
subject is discussed under eight heads
the principal one of which is "Bene.
fits of Consolidation" Consolidation
is commended and urged in no uncer.
tain terms by the Inspector.
-RuraI School Sanitation.
The Introductory statements to this
topic are, Health is the most price.
less possession of childhood" and "Yet
in many rural schools, the health of
children is seriously impaired" 1t is
discussed under the following heads
(1) Lighting; (2) Heating and Venti.
lating; (3) Closets or Outhouses; (4)
Water; (5) General Sanitary Provis.
ions. A plea is made for medical in.
spection in connection with better san.
itary provisions for the safeguarding
of health.
acTassified Elementary Schools.
The appendix table gives the mum.
Der of classified elementary schools by
kind and counties as classified last
August. The total number on the
classified list is 324 of which number
240 are rural, SO graded and 81 con.
sojjdated. It may be noted here that
in addition there are 80 con soIidated
schools on the state high school li'l.
All but six counties are represented
in the classified elementary school list.
For the preceding year the number of
classified schools was 10, which
means an increase of 154 in one year.
e-Recommendatio
The written portion of the report
closes with recommendations which
have particular reference to more eff.
ficient operation of the rural school
state aid law. These in substance are
as follows: (1) A minimum term of
nine months, and the daily attendance
of all pupils between the ages of 8
and Is inclusive unless legally excus-
ed; (2) A minimum wage of seventy
dollars per month for all rural teach
ers in connection with law requiring
that all must have completed at least
a four-year normal school course or
equivalent; (3) Compulsory medical
inspection and the use of inside clos
cts; az State aid in the amount of

month basis as the report states it,
"the princely salary of $29.85 per
month" In the schools inspected
these conditions are better of course,
but these are the conditions in the ma
jority of the rural schools.
4-country Boys.
Twelve pages are devoted to the sub
ject Of country boys in relation to
poor attendance. 1t is shown that in
the schools inspected 1926 country
boys were kept out of school in viola
ton of law for varying periods of
time, some Of which were over three
months; but for all rural schools in AZ
counties reporting, 1922 country
boys between the ages of 8 and Is in
elusive were kept out Of school sixty
days or more in violation of law. One
table-diagram shows that only seven
per cent of the country boys complet'
ed the eighth grade and only one.half
of one per cent completed the high
school. These conditions are analyz'
ed in the report and are characterized
as appalling" and brutal" The spe-
cific remedy suggested is the enlight-
ening and arousing Of the public con-
science to the necessity Of securing a
better enforcement of the compulsory
attendance law.
5-RuraI School Attendance.
This topic is introduced in the re-
port with the statement, "The greatest
defect in the rural school has been and
is now the poor attendance" The
average term for the rural schools in
spected is 8.S months, and the per cent
of attendance So; but the average term
for all rural schools is only Z months
with so per cent attendance.
decentralization Of Rurat Schools.
The most important part Of the re-
port is undoubtedly that devoted to the
consolidation of Rural Schools" A
complete list is given Of consolidated
schools in the state that were in ex-
istence last August. One table gives
rs open country consolidated schools,
a second table lis town consolidated
schools and third table gives the total
number Of consolidated schools by
counties as 100. This last table shows
that Towner county is first with Is,
Cavalier second with II, Ralette, third
with II, Ramsey fourth with 10, Cass
and McHenry fifth with 8 each, and
Nelson and Hettinger 9Th with 8 each.
All but seven counties have one or
more consolidated schools. There is
an increase of 4S consolidated schools
