BY TRAIN

Robert Burnett, q member of the
Workman shows band which is in the
city this week for the Interstate fair,
met with a terrible accident at Cassel-
ton when both legs were cut off by the
special train that was carrying the
shows to Fargo.
Burnett had gotten off the train at
Casselton to buy a bottle of milk for
his lunch and while off the train
started and it was while attempting to
get aboard that he missed his footing
and fell under the train. the wheels
badly mangling both legs. one being
crushed above the knee and the other
below the knee.
The injured man was given first aid
at Casselton and rushed to Fargo where
he was taken to st. Johns hospital
and where he underwent aR operation,
both legs being amputated, the right
one below the knee and the left one
just above. Reports from his physi-
clans this afternoon say that he stood
the shock remarkably well and that
while he was very low yesterday he is
some better today and it is believed
that he will recover.
With the, bottle Of milk in one hand,
Burnett caught hold of a hand rod and
was running along the side of the car
steps in order to jump aboard when
he tripped over tie. He held on with
his right hand and in SO doing his legs
were thrown across the rails and were
caught blythe wheels.
He has been with the Wortham
band for some time and has travelled
with the organization to a number of

Washington July 26.-The board of civilians and
naval officers will probably be asked by the depart
ment of commerce to investigate the Eastland disaster
in addition to the investigation by the board of federal
steamboat inspectors Acting Secretary Sweet is pre-
pared to make recommendation for such additional
investigation to Secretary Redfeld.
The investigation required by the law of the local
board of steamboat inspectors in such disasters deals
only with carelessness any incompetency of licensed
vessel inspection Sweet expressed the belief that
there might well be investigation with broader
scope conducted by men in whom the public would
have the greatest confidence because of their standing
and experience.

Contraband of War
News Comes as Shock to Washington-Case Somewhat
Similar to Frye Incident Did Germany Deliberate
ly Disregard Early American Note?

Washington, July 26.-The torpedoing of the
American steamer Leelanaw came shock to Am
erican officials who see in the incident further ag
gravation of the situation between Germany and the
United States. Although they hesitated in the alb
sence of details to construe the act coming within
the warning of last American note which pointed
out that further violation of international law af
fecting American citizens would be regarded ode
Iiberatey unfrendly." the view is taken that
Germany, in effect, had ignored and disre-
garded the earlier note sent in connection
with the sinking of the American sailing ship
William P. Frye, by the German cruiser Prinz Eitel
Friedrich. In that communication the United States
vigorously asserted its position that though
American ship carried contraband of war; it was
peculiarly protected from destruction by stipulations
of the Prussian-American treaty of 1923.
Flax, which was being carried by the Leelanaw,
declared absolute contraband by Germany as a
retaliation against the British contraband declara-
ton.

A STEP IN ADVANCE.
editorial in Medford Mail Tribune.)

Editorial in Medford Mail Tribune)
TOLLOWING the Tacoma convention,
i where preliminary steps were taken to
place the marketing of Northwestern
fruit upon cooperative business basis,
another move in the evolution Of the indus
try is announced by the Rogue River Fruit
& Produce Association, whereby it is pro-
posed to standardize the pack of all orchards
and relieve the individual Of the collecting,
grading, packing and boxing Of the fruit.
All the orchardist has to do is to pick his
fruit and assemble it in lug boxes for the
auto truck, which takes it to central storage
and packing house, where it is graded,
packed, refrigerated, shipped and marketed
for him, relieving him of much unnecessary
labor and responsibility.
This is another step towards placing the
fruit industry upon staple manufacturing
basis. Next will come, as it has come in the
California districts, the picking of the fruit
by the cooperative association, and in some
of the districts, pruning and spraying by the
common agency.
