INJUNCTION IS
DENIED BY JUDGE
Judge Refuses to Stop Building Of
City Hall at Fort Dodge.

Fort Dodge, Ia, Aug. 19.-Judge
R. NJ. Wright yesterday denied the
application for a writ Of Injunction
restraining the city council from
transferring money from one fund
to another to help pay for the new
city hall. Charles frost was plain
tiff in the case. frost alleged the
use of the money illegally in build
ing the city hall and claimed the
city council plans to spend more
than the 100000 voted for the pro-
ject. Judge Wright in his decision
held the defendants had been gull
ty of serious and very reprehensible
that the council vio-
lated the law in making the money
of one fund perform the functions
of money of another fund, but that
as the wrong was unintentional and
did not result in loss to the public
and because he believes the council
does not plan to cause loss to the
public in the future he denied the
application for a writ.

MAKES LEAP FOR
MOVING Liner
Swiss Passenger Makes Flying Jump
and Reaches Ship Safely.

New York, Aug. 21.-On account
of the strict examination of the pas
senger manifests of the Holland
American liners when they arrive in
British waters the agents here are
enforcing the passport regulations
very strictly. Swiss passengers re-
turning home have to get their pass
ports vised by the German consul
before they are allowed to board the
ships.
William Metzga, a Swiss of New
York City, who had booked to sail
for Rotterdam on the Noordam, was
turned back when he arrived at the
pier in Hoboken, and had to come to
Manhattan to have his passport Wis.,
ed at the German consulate. He re-
turned just at noon as the Noordam
was backing out into the stream.
Metzga flung his satchel upon the
ship and then made a flying leap and
was caught by the members of the
crew amid the cheers of people on
the pier.

TWO AUTOMOBILES
ARE WRECKED
Cars Struck by Train at Railroad
Crossing.

Maquoketa, Ia, Aug. 1.-Two
automobiles were hit by trains and
completely demolished yesterday on
a railroad crossing between Maquo-
keta and Preston.
One of the cars belonged to Mr..
Reichwein of Preston, and the 9TH
er, big auto truck, was the proper
ty of Radibaugh G. Lushbaugh of
Maquoketa.
The approach to the track is made
of railroad ties with a filling of loose
gravel, and the recent rains washed
the gravel away leaving deep ruts on
both sides Of the tracks. Both cars
became stalled on the track and
could not be urged either forward
or reverse. The crossing is near q
sharp curve in the track and both
autos were struck by trains while
the drivers were gone to get help to
pull them off the track.

Georgia Executive Promises Thor

HE WILL QUESTION GUARDS
Stories of Lynching Circulated At
Marietta Say Prisoner Main
tanned Innocence to Last.

Atlanta, Ga, Aug. 19.-Plans for
investigating the lynching of Leo
M. Frank went forward steadily
yesterday. Governor Harris stated
a thorough inquiry would be made
and that rewards would be offered
for the arrest and conviction of the
lynchers. In a statement last night
the governor said:
'The lynching will be probed to
the bottom and every effort within
my power will be made to bring the
guilty mob members to justice. At
the proper time 1 will offer rewards
for the arrest and conviction of the
men"
Governor Harris will have a con-
ference with the three members of
the state prison commission today.
Each of the commissioners was in
Warden Smiths home the night
Frank was taken away. They had
been making a regular inspection of
the prison. The governor hopes to
obtain information from the COM
missioners and possibly some of the
prison officials who were overpow-
cred that will lead to the identifica-
ton of some of the lynchers, only a
few of whom wore masks.
The Marietta end of the investi-
cation was not pressed yesterday.
The coroner's jury, which held
brief session yesterday, had adjourn
ed until next Tuesday.
That the prison commission would
not make an inquiry was further in
dicated yesterday when E. L.
Rainey, commissioner. stated he
did not think anyone connected
with the prison was to blame. The
commission has absolute power in
handling the prison affairs and in
the conference today the commits

GERMANS CHEER
THE BRITISH
Teutons Show Gratitude When Their
Ship is Spared.

Copenhagen (via London), Aug.
19.-German cheers for men in the
British navy is an unusual wartime
incident reported from the North
sea by the captain and crew of the
German trawler Gedrun.
The captain said the Gedrun was
stopped in the North sea by a Brit
isb squadron. He promptly got his
boats ready and distributed life
belts, believing his ship was certain
to be sunk. When the British sea-
men reached the trawler, the cap
tain begged for time to take to the
boats. and admits he was staggered
at the reply:
you can take the whole ship;
We shall not harm you"
The captain adds that the British
left amid the hearty cheers of the
greatly relieved Germans.

THE GERMAN
ADVANCE I'M
PER|LS SLAVS
Russians Now Seem Able to Hold
Own Only in Baltic
Districts.
MORE FORTS CAPITULATE.
French Score Successes Against leu
tons in West, Taking Trench by
Bombardment.
ORE FORTS CAPITULATE.

London, Aug. 20.-The continued
German advance on the eastern
front is seriously endangering a por-
ton of the Russian army and must
soon have an effect on other fronts.
Berlin repeats today the claim
that the fortress of Kovno has fall
len, compelling the Russians in dis
tricts on the East Prussian frontier
to fall back. In fact the Russians
now appear able to hold their own
only in the Baltic provinces, where
they are preventing the Germans
from advancing.
Besides the capture Of Kovno, the
Germans have taken additional forts,
and, according to the account, have
penetrated the outer portions of
Prest-Litovsk, the great fortress
which is the mainstay Of what was
expected to be the Russians new
line Of defense.
There is no evidence yet of Grand
Duke Nicholas intentions, but mill
tary writer's are of the opinion that
the swiftness of the German adj
vance has rendered it impossible for
him to make stand on the Brest-
Litovsk line, which already probably
has been turned by Field Marshal
MackenZen in the south and by his
colleagues in the north.
The French have scored two sue
;esses in the west, taking a German
rench in Artois after a heavy all
lay bombardment and making
urther advance on the Linge sum-
nit in the Vosges. On both these
sectors there has been heavy and
continued fighting, in which the
french claim to have greatly i'm
proved their positions.
There has been some long distance
engagements between the
and the Austrians across
he Danube.

The property is estimated to be

GREAT BRITAIN
SEEKING WHEAT
Canada's Supply Likely to be About
175,0OO,O00 Bushels.

Ottawa, Ont, Aug. 19.-The Brit.
ish government yesterday asked au.
thorities here for an estimate of the
amount of Canadian wheat which
will be available for export.
From the latest information gath
cred by the authorities, it is esti-
mated the amount available will be
about 100000 bushels.
The chief matter of concern to the
Canadian officials who have been
figuring on the exporting of wheat
to England has been the shortage of
for transportation. These, it
is hoped, the British admiralty will
to supply.

making his rounds and attempting
to cross the west bridge over the
Waubonsie ditch he nearly lost his
life in the flood waters.

stream. Rector managed to open
one Of the side doors of his wagon
and crawled out of the rig, swim
ming to shore.
One horse, the rig and valuable
mail were swept into the river and
lost. The other horse managed to
free itself and got on a small island
in the Missouri river, from which it
was removed.

Genuine Heroism.

The characteristic Of genuine hero
ism is its persistency. All men hsxe
wandering impulses, fits and starts Of
generosity. But when you have re-
solved to be great, abide by yourself
and do not weakly try to reconcile
yourself with the world. The heroic
cannot be the common, nor the COM
mon the heroic. If you would serve
your brother, because 1t Is fit for you
to serve him, do not take back your
words when you find that prudent peo-
Pile do not commend you. Be true
to your own act, and congratulate
yourself If you have done something
strange and extraordinary, and broken
the monotony Of decorous age. 1t
was q high counsel that l once heard
given to a young person: Always
do what you are afraid to do."-Em-

JUST WHAT is BAD AIR?
Experts ProvS That Overheated Rooms
Without Proper Ventilation Produce
Serious Physiological Defects.

Air is bad when 1t Is overheated,
when it contains an excess of mois-
ture and when it is chemically con-
taminated. This is the conclusion Of
the New York state commission on
ventilation as summarized by Frof. c.
E. A. Wislow, chairman.
The first indictment against bad
air shows that an increase In tempera-
ture beyond the normal seventy de-
grees produces serious arrangement
Of the vaso-motor mechanism of the
body, resulting In a rise Of tempera-
ture, increased pulse. and lowered
blood pressure, with corresponding
decrease in efficiency. both physical
and mental. In addition to this. over
heating conduces to an undesirable
congestion of the mucous membranes
OF the nose, thus possibly paving the
way for colds, sore threats, and at
tacks of various germ diseases.
The work Of the commission also
proves that chemical accumulations
in the air as a result of stasnation
