DEBS ADDRESSED
ALARGE CROWD
SOCIALIST SPEAKER TALKS TO,
GREAT CROWD AT THE FAIR
GROUNDS SUNDAY

Eugene V. Debs, one of the most
prominent men among the socialists:
in this country was in Williston Sum
day and addressed large crowd at
the fair grounds in the afternoon. The
large crowd was there by 2 o'clock
and shortly afterward Mr.. Mills, the
socialist speaker who has been in tho
city for several days introduced Mr..
Debs, who was welcomed by much ap-
plause. His talk lasted for about two
hours and was declared by some to be-
one of the best talks they ever heard
while others expressed themselves
otherwise and said they were greatly
disappointed.
There is no question about Mr.. Debs
organized men. He is possibly with
speaker however he was somewhat
more along ideas for the betterment
of present conditions and the cures for
present ills, as he saw them. rather
dividuals. The individuals attacked
probably had it coming, we are not
questioning that one way OR the 9TH
er, but we fail to see how personal
attacks upon them is going to cure
anything or how this is the remedy for
any present social ills.
Mr.. Debs said a good many good
things but we expected more politicaT
talk any eye opening ideas from sucE
leader and man who aspired to the
presidential chair.

INQUIRY CALLED
FOR THIS TERM
JUDGE GRANTS PETITION ASK
ING THAT NO JURY BE CALL
ED FOR JUNE TERN

Judge Fisk was presented with a
petition, few days ago, signed by
practically all the attorneys in This
county, asking him not to call a jury
for this, the June term of court, or if
jury was called to just try the crim-
inals in Jail at this time.
As all these held for trial pied gull
ty thus leaving the criminal calendar
clear, the Judge granted the petition
and jury will not be called.
The only criminal case left would
be the one of Pete Craslie who is out
on bonds but as it is understood that
he will ask for change Of venue the
case would probably not be tried here
anyway.
There were few civil cases and the
attorneys wanted them continued any
way. This action will save the coun-
ty considerable expense and will not
take the farmers away from their
work at an important time.

have to stand trial, Mr.. Panger no
longer being the husband of Mrs.

MORE COUNTIES
WERE VOTED DRY
THIEF RIVER FALLS WILL LOSR
FIFTEEN SALOONS AS A
RESULT

St. Paul, Minn., June 1.-Six coun-
ties in Minnesota voted out the 81
looms yesterday, and seventh is in
doubt. Meeker county, which early
forecasts said would 60 dry, gave the
vets lead of 22S in thirteen out of
twenty precincts. No other returns
could be obtained, as the outlying pre-
cincts had not yet reported.
Officials at Litchfield, the county
seat, predicted that the county finally
would swing into the dry column, but
admitted the result would be close.
Others which adopted county option
are Pope, Pennington, Wright, Big
Stone, Marshall and Wadena counties
The result in Pennington, Wright and
Big Stone counties was surprise to
the vets. Wright county has twenty
eight saloons and Pennington fifteen
All the saloons in the latter county arc

sixteen saloons. Fourteen precincts.
out of twenty-six in Pennington coun-
ty gave the dry 1922 and the vets
9O9, a majority of 113 for the drys.
Some of the rural precincts closed the
polls at 5 p. M, it is reported, think
ing the township law prevailed. There
is rumor from Thief River Falls
that the vets will contest this act.
Wright county's majority was estt-
mated to reach 90. With all the wet
test precincts in last night, the vote
stood, dry 1867, wet 1866. Seven-
teen out of thirty -one reported.
Wadena's dry majority is about 14I,
with one precinct missing. Bis Stone
gave the drys 214 majority. Graceville
was the only wet precinct.
Pope county voted better than 2 to
against saloons. Eighteen out OF
twenty-seven precincts reported, drys
1850, vets 592. Glenwood, the county
seat, voted wet last year, but dry this
year.
Basing their claims on the vote re-
ported up to midnight, the drys be-
1ieve they won yesterdays election in
Marshall county by majority Of at
least 800.

LUSITANIA INQUIRY

London, June 16.-The inquiry into
the sinking of the Lusitania was re-
sumed with the examination of Alfred
Booth, chairman of the board of the
Gunard company. Sir Edward Carson
asked why it was that the Lusitania
was economizing by using only nine
teen of her twenty-five boilers at the
time she was torpedoed. 1t was dis
closed that the Lusitania had neither
coal nor fremen enough on board to
make the trip across the Atlantic
under full boiler power. Booth main
tained, however, that so far as sub
marines were concerned there was no
difference between eighteen knots, the
speed at which the Lusitania was pro-
ceeding when she was struck and
twenty -one knots. Booth declared that
no steamer making more than four
teen knots was ever known to have
been struck by a torpedo from a sub
marine until the Lusitania was hit.
Addressing Sir Edward Carson,
Baron Mersey said he desired to know
where the danger zone began and
whether arrangements could not have
been made to traverse this zone in the
dark. Carson promised to supply this
information.
Able Seaman Quinn, who was in the
crows nest of the Lusitania when she
was struck, testified he saw the tor
pedo coming and expressed the opinion
that the Lusitania could not have es-
capped even if she had been "going a
hundred knots an hour"
Naval Commander Anderson, who
followed Quinn, dwelling upon the
Importance of speed to avoid sub
marines, declared that if the Lusi::
tania had made twenty-one knots and
taken zig gag course she could still
have reached Liverpool at the earliest
possible moment for crossing the bar
and that she would have had much
greater chance to escape a submarine.

RAY VS. WILLISTON:
GAME GOOD ONE
FANS ENJOYEDaGAME SUNDAY
WHICH WAS ONE OF BEST
PLAYED HERE THIS YEAR

Wilhston fans were given the
chance of enjoying something good in
the way of a ball game Sunday after
noon when Ray and Williston met on
the local grounds. The game was call
ed at four thirty before one of the
largest crowds ever seen on the
grounds.
The Williston team took the field
with Frank Harvey in the box and
Tappon wearing the mask. Sullivan
and Kambel comprised the Ray bat
terry.
Ray was shut out in the first and
Williston took two of their runs in
their half of this inning. Ray got
their two scores in the third and Will
liston their third run in the fourth.
Both pitchers were doing good work
but Frank Harvey was there from
start to finish and had the best of the
big man from Ray at every turn of
the game. He struck out eleven to
Sullivan's z, and only walked one man
while Sullivan walked four, walking
the first man up to bat. The game
lasted one hour and forty five minutes.
Some of the boys had an idea along
about the fifth inning that Frank Har-
vey was about all in and "Big Bnl'
his brother was ordered to warm up
but he was not needed. Frank was

CHICAGO STRIKE
H.. DECLARED OFF
COMMITTEES HAVE FIFTEEN.
HOUR CONFERENCE-AGREED
TO ARBITRATE

Chicago, June 16.-The strike of
$4,000 street car men was called off at
S a. M, today at the conclusion of a
15-hour conference between union
leaders and officials of the traction
lines and members Of the mayors al
dermanic strike committee.
All points at issue will be settled by
arbitration, the operation of cars on
all lines being resumed as quickly as
the striking men could be notified. =.
The end of the strike, which tied
up the entire transportation system
two days, came through the selection
of Mayor Thompson as the third mem
Der of the board of arbitration, the
main question at issue.
Officials of companies will select
their arbitrator by Saturday. W. D.
Mahon, international president of the
Street Car Mems union probably will
be named to represent the men.
The threatened break up was pre-
vented after both the labor leaders
and the traction officials announced
that they could report no agreement,
when Mayor Thompson invited the
conference to take off their coats.
Mayor Thompson then locked the
doors of his Office and told the men
he'd keep them there until a solution
of the situation was reached.
The mayor then took gold horse
shoe from his desk clock.
"This was given me for good luck. -"
he said. $50 I'm going to wish that it
will bring good luck to this confer
ence."
Dramatic Climax
After long and heated discussions Of
the question of selecting third ar
bitrator Leonard A. Bnsby, president
of the Chicago surface lines, mention
ed the name of Mayor Thompson.
The names of scores of prominent
men has previously been suggested,
and thrown into the discard.
The committee representing the
street car men, headed by w. D. Ma
hon, retired to another room to con-
slider the proposal of accepting Mayor
Thompson.
Within ten minutes they returned.
"We'll take him." was the simple
announcement that electrified the
weary group of men.
Hand clapping and cheering echoed
through the great corridors of the city
hall. Mayor Thompson unlocked the
doors of his office suite. The conferees
put on their coats, and marched out,
their faces wreathed in smiles.
