One youngster Portuguese boy,
said 1t was pretty hard for him to re-
sist the temptation of a picture show.
He explained that his father is blind

this boy was found by Officer Ander-
son frequenting rather undesirable
place on River street after 8 o'clock.
He was released on probation.

THE IRISH LAND PROBLEMS

Madison, Wis, July 20-An Irish
collection of books and paintings at the
University of Wisconsin is the out
growth of a plan to institute course
on Irish land problems in the depart
ment of political economy.
In the summer of 1918, Prof. Richard
T. Ely visited Ireland with this in view,
only to find that to study the economics
of a people the national character must
be understood. So closely woven with
the economics were the history, litera-
ture, religion, art and poetry of the
people that the dream of the collector
grew, even before the first book was
donated. The ambitio5 had now be-
come to help Irish Americans to appre-
ciate their Celtic Inheritance and to let
America better understand for what
Ireland stands.
With a series of eleven old deeds as
documents for a study of landlordism
and tenancy in different parts of Ire
land, and with books to give the indus
trial and agricultural Ireland OF these
late years, so fertile with developments,
the collection leads the student up to
the present time. Then, in the words OF
Prof. Ely in pamphlet just issued:
Something is going on which is
unique in the worlds his tory. The
ownership of a large part of the island
is being transferred from one economic
class to another. with the result of
great increasing prosperity"

ILTON LEWIS.
was a struggling lawyer III the city OF
Seattle, Wash. He had gone there
from the south to make his fame and
fleet of fishing smacks began to get in
trouble in the north Pacific waters.
The boats piled up and down the Brit
ish and Russian coasts along RerinS
strait, and they poached in Russian
and British territory and were straight
countries.
The owners retained Lewis as at
torney. and he fought all through the
various tribunals all the way to the
supreme court of the United States,
where victory was gained in test
case for the owners of the ship Co
quitlam the lower courts all being re-
versed Then the British owners of
interest in these vessels made claim
for all their expenses ard damages be-
mission. which was established to hear
controversies between the two cOun-
tries.
Robert Lansing. then almost un-
known to fame, appeared as counsel
with Lewis Lansing represented the
larger interest and Lewis the smaller.
They were successful, and as the re-
suit of the victory achieved the clients
of Lewis changed the name of one
of the smacks to the James Hamilton
Lewis, out of compliment to their
counsel.
Then the James Hamilton Lewis be-
gan to be one of the livelieSt little
seal poachers in the Pacific and was
consequently picked up by the Rus
sian government The owners made an
indignant protest, and the case has
been pending between the United
States and Russia ever since.
Now the secretary of state, who
must adjust the treaty of this subject
with Russia, is Robert Lansing, who
was chief counsel for the United States
end Of the controversy before the
claims tribunal.

The cases started twenty-three years
ago. The two men involved have reach

their clients case is still in court,

England and the United States on the
general fishing and sealing question
are still unsettled and are matters of
irritation.

AUTO ROLLS into THE RIVER
Car and Four Occupants Topples Into
the Wisconsin Near Lone Rock.


Richland Democrat: An automobile
party of four people from this city en-
route to Browns lake, between Lone
Rock and Spring Green, had an expert
ence Sunday forenoon last, Of which
they consider themselves very fortunate
to be alive to tell.
The party was composed Of Mrs. Eva
Pauls, Ed Cosper and Mr.. and Mrs.
Henry Minett. and they were in Mrs.
Panls' car, that lady being at the wheel.
Some repairs are being made upon the
bridge across the Wisconsin river at that
point and of necessity they crossed the
structure at very slow pace. At the
farther end were several piles of lumber
and coming from the direction in which
they were travelling was a lad of proba-
bly, sixteen years riding pony. The
pony was somewhat frightened at the
approach of the car and Mrs. Pauls in
an effort to prevent possible accident to
the rider took the left hand track, as far
from the boy and rocks as she could.
She was but short distance off the end
of the bridge and past the pony and
rider, when she inadvertently looked
back to see as to his safety, and in so
doing pulled her car slightly out of the
track. The road at this point is ex-
tremely narrow, fanked on the right by
a sheer bank of rocks and on the left by
fall of some fifteen feet into the river,
the river bank is grown over with small
trees and strewn with loose rock which
have been blasted from the ledge above.
second and turned the wheels to avoid
danger, waen the sandy bank gave way
beneath the rear wheel, and the car and
its human freight went rolling through
the brush, down the bank into the wat
er, turning completely over and landing
bottom side up in about three feet of
water.
In the fall both ladies were thrown
free from the car and Mrs. Pauls extri-
Gated herself without assistance. Mrs.
Minett was completely under water, but
was rescued by Mr.. Minett, who found
it necessary to reach head and shoulders
under the water to pull her to the sur
face. Mr.. Minett himself was free only
with hands and one leg and after as
sisting Mrs. Minett to her feet freed
himself only by lifting the car off his
leg, where he was held between the side
of the car and rock. After freeing
himself he succeeded in locating Cosper,
who also was under water and impri
soned by one foot beneath the car. By
this time help had arrived in answer to
Miett's calls and by use of a plank then
car was lifted sufficiently to release
Cosper. None of the occupants were
seriousely injured, only sprains and
bruises resulting from their terrible ex-
perience.
The car was pulled from the river by
the use of block and tackle and is not
badly damaged. The wind shield was
broken and its frame crushed, one
spring twisted, fender disfgured and
the steering wheel put out of commits
sion. The scene of the accident is an
exceedingly dangerous piece of road the
high bank being entirely unprotected
by railing or otherwise. Several acci-
dents with teams have occurred at thif
point and in this case it is nothing
short of miraculoua that no lives were
lost.
