Warning after warning was sent to
Sec'y RedfieId of the commerce dept
at Washington, telling of open gang
way and open matches, rusty and 'Un-

asked to give it immediate attention.
The same defective gangRay con-
ditions which prevailed on the East
land are claimed by OIander to apply
to other big excursion boats now rum
ming.
Vim. Nicholas, Inspector of U. s.
steamboat service, says his depart
ment does not inspect stability" of
boats.
do you mean your department
has no tests nor records as to Wheth-
er an excursion boat is safe or wheth-
er or not it will tip oVer?" he was
asked.
THAT is entirely in the hands of
the American Bureau of Shipping"
replied Nicholas. They determine
tests and so make Inspections" He
said the bureau is outside the govern
ment and is owned and run by ship
ping interests.
During the past year the govern
ment has been able to force the con-
structors of new vessels to send US
blue prints" he said. I'VE have no
blue prints now of the EastIand or
any other vessels built before the
past year."

"She was allowed to carry $780,"
said Nicholas at the Federal building.
Custom house officers were on hand
this morning counting to see that no
more than that went aboard"
why permit more people to ride
on boats during excursion season
than than the rest Of the year." Mich
Olas was asked.
During the warm time of the year
people who have life preservers on
will stay in water long time, some
times two or three days" said Mich
Olas. 'The water is warm from May
Is to Sept. Is and in that season
more passengers are allowed"
Victor Olander said the Eastland

over and over again in Washington
the past year, when he asked stricter
regulation of boats. He took a Day
Book reporter to the First National
bank, unlocked a safe deposit box and
showed a mass of letters written to
the commerce department pointing
to vicious conditions on lake boats
running out of Chicago.
The Eastland tOppled over just as
it moved away from its pier at Clark
street and the river, a little after 7:3O
this morning. Capt Harry Peterson
says the cause was the breaking of
an "air shoot" which let water into
the hold. Few others hold this Opin-
ion. Most say the boat tipped from
the weight of the people along the
deck rail
Capt Peterson says about an even
1000 were on board. He and First

MEXICAN BANDITS
FIGHT AMERICANS

Americans, eight Of them United
States cavalrymen stood off an attack
Of 60 Mexicans. Five of the Ameri-
cans, including three soldiers, We're
wounded and Is saved from death just
as their ammunition gave out, by the
arrival of II Texas rangers.
The American rangers and soldiers
had gone to a Norias range house,
searching for Mexicans. Eight SOL
diers were left at the railroad at No
rias while the rest of the party, num-
bering II rangers, were to search
waterhole, II miles distant.
Meanwhile the MeXicans, from I'M
der cover of the brush, galloped to-
ward the detail of soldiers at Norias.
The soldiers at first took them for
rangers returning. Seven American
civilians, who were alarmed, Joined the
cavalrymen. The Mexicans swept
down upon this party as it was strung
out along the railroad track.
The Mexicans reached the ranch
house while the soldiers lay fiat on
the track with the civilians trying to
pick off their attackers.
Slowly the Americans retreated,
crawling and firing and concentrating
themselves toward the ranch house,
which was about 200 yards from the
building which the Mexicans had
seized. In this open fight, all of the
Mexican wounds were received. None
of them is expected to die.
Americans were fighting from the
cover of the ranch when the rangers
returned, dismounted and crawled into
the brush apparently unobserved by
the Mexicans, who after a short fight
made off.

PICK Your CORN
when IT GLAZES

"Just as soon as your corn glazes,
pick it and carefully dry it," is the
advice that the North Dakota Expert
ment station people are giving to
farmers in the state just at this time.
They are also telling the farmers to
save all the 1914 corn they have on
hand. All this advice is for the pur-
pose of guarding against shortage of
northern seed for 1916 planting.
This proposition is worrying the
farmers of this state more than any
thing else at the present time but
according to the experiment station
officials the matter is not hopeless yet
by any means. All depends on the
length of time the frost remains
away. This will have to be at least
q month longer as the excessively cool
weather of the spring has delayed the
corn fully that length of time.
There never was time when corn
looked better than it does right now
and it is growing rapidly and should
the frost fail to put in an appearance
until as late as it did last year, in
the greater part Of the state, there will
be good corn. Last year the first kill
ing frost did not visit the state, with
the exception of a section in the
Grand Forks vicinity, until in October
But it is not at all certain that there
will be no frost until that month and
in order to save every bit of seed
possible the experiment station off,

reside at Kenesaw, Neb., and are re.

the particular cousin with whom he

this stage will shrivel up, but 1t will
have good terminating qualities.
The loss of seed for 1915 would be
a great blow to the farmers of the
state, as the greater majority are
greatly interested and have faith in
the crop, and shortage of northern
grown corn would delay general corn
production for considerable time al
least.

Patent medicines were characteriz-
ed as zone of the worst evils thrust
upon the American people at the pres
ent time by E: F. Ladd, of the North
Dakota agricultural experiment station
in an address before the agricultural
section of the American Science asso-
citation, at Berkeley, Aug. 8.
Prof. Ladd's address was plea for
better and more uniform food legisla-
ton throughout the United States.
Few states" he said, "have adequate
drug laws at the present time, and
many of these are not enforced.
Few states food laws agree in all
essential features with the federal
food laws" said the speaker. Scarce
ly any two states have food laws in
common. The need for sanitary laws
is fully as great as for food laws.
False advertising laws are essential"
'tNot state in the union has been
able to secure an enactment of a law
to control the manufacture and sale OF
patent medicine" ~ San Francisco
Examiner.
