champion lightweight pugilist Of the
world today, after going the full
schedule of 20 rounds with Charlie

said he awarded the decision because
Welsh did most of the leading.

do not see why the next Legislature
should not give you some of the
things you want" said Lynn J. Fra
zier, Republican nominee for COVER
nor, in an address at the Labor Day
celebration here, speaking particular
ly to union members.
Frazier pledged himself for an en-
ployers' liability act, against child la
Dor, and regulation of time for EN-.
ployment of women.
"A great many people wonder why
you organized labor men are sympa-
thizers of the Non-partisan league
said Mr.. Frazier; "but it is nothing to
wonder at, at all. We all make our
living by our own toll and l believe
the farmers and the laboring men of
the state have many things in com
mon. There are only two classes OF
producers in North ,Dakota-the farm
evs and the laboring men who work
for daily wage"
Frazier, reviewing the history of
the Non-partisan League movement,
declared it had it's inception in the
lesson taught by organized labor dur
ing the past half-century and in the
meantime that farmers will need sim
liar results for themselves ultimate
ly.

Captain Welsh renewed acquaintance

whom he had served in the Philip.

stood on the bank of the Rio Grande
and took good look at the country
whose behavior called them down to
the border No soldiers are allowed

The North Dakota officers returned at

The army cook instructor, who is WIS.,

impression among the good feeders OF

a thing or two himself while he is
with them.
Instructor Goes to Kitchens.
This instructor, William R. Jeffries
of the 26th Infantry, does not call
his pupils to his own kitchen and
show them how he does it, in the
manner of cooking instructors at a
chautauqua. He walks unannounced
into a company kitchen, watches how
things are being done, and then takes
charge and shows the cooks how the
regular army does them. He is a
wonderful cook and in his hands mac
arOni ceases to be just macarOni, and
becomes something that you would
walk ten blocks for at home; his
army beans are as delicious as any
baked beans served at the table Of a
Boston millionaire; and his pastries
taste like home, sweet home. He
has greatly improved the cooking in
the average state guard mess shed.
He is scheduled to visit Bismarck
company within ten days.

Private Hildreth Johnson will be laid

Petrograd Claims Victory for
Russians and Says They
Took 2,641 Prisoners

London, Sept. 4.-Keeping up a
strong offensive against the Germans
in Somme and northern France, the
Anglo4French forces have driven their
lines formard.
South of the Somme the village OF
iSoycerat and part of the village OF
Vermandovillers have been captured
while seemingly more important still
the French have made important
progress east Of the village OF For
rest, which lies / IL miles east OF
Kombels; a gain which takes with it
the capture of Guillemont on Sunday
seemingly outflanks Kombels and ap
parently renders it untenable. More
than 5000 Germans have been made
prisoners north and south of the
Somme.
On the British right wing progress
is reported north of Thiaumont farm
while German counter attack north
east of Moquet farm was repulsed.
In the Verdun sector Paris records
fresh gains near Fleury. Berlin, in ad
mitting the claims OF the British in
the Somme region, says the battling
over the 18-mile front from Beaumont
to Somme was of the gravest.
Germans Hold Ground.
The Germans held their ground al
Thielpval, north of Pozieres and near
Ginchy, but Guillemont village and
wood were lost, as likewise was Gin
chy, but counter attack of the Ger
mans won back portion of the lat
ter town. II
Again there is heavy fighting on the
front in Russia, west and southwest
of ~Lutsk and north of Zborow and
near Brezezzany, in Galicia, with the
Russians generally the aggressors
Petrograd controverts the assertion
of Berlin that the Russians attained
local successes near Brezezany by a
declaration that the Russians won 4
victory and took 2,641 prisoners. In
the Carpathian region, according to
Petrograd, the Russians nave captur
ed an entire series of heights and are
advanced to the Hungarian frontier
Roum anians Pressing Forward.
All along the Pennsylvania front
the Roumanians continue to press
their advantage against the Austro
Hungarians. Here they have captur
ed additional towns and are said to
be bombarding the town of Hermann
stadt, which is second in importance
only to Kronstadt. The Germans and
Bulgarian forces are attacking alone
the entire front between Kronbeja
and Bulgaria. Near Koemar, Berlin
reports the Roumanians were driven
back with the loss of 700 men taken
prisoners.
In Albania the Italians east of .Av
alona have taken the villages of Ku

The Germans have surrendered to the
British Oar Els Salaam, Germany s

IN AUTO CRASH
ON BROADWAY
Ford Strikes Madison in Which
Mr.. and Mrs. Hellstrom
Were Riding
MORRIS THROWN TWENTY
FEET THROUGH SHIELD
He and Swanson, Other Occupant
of Car, Charged with In
toxication

Tom Morris was injured and three
other persons narrowly escaped death
last night, when two automobiles col
lided on broadway and Fifth.
Mr.. and Mrs. F. O. Hellstrom were
riding in one of the cars. They were
not hurt. Albert Swanson and Tom
Morris were in the other car. Nor
ris was thrown through the wind
shield from 20 to 80 feet. He was
able to get up and walk, however,
although he was cut by the glass and
badly bruised when he landed on the
sidewalk.
Place Both Under Arrest.
Both Swanson and Morris were
placed under arrest, charged with
running a car while intoxicated. Wit
nesses declare that their machine was
going 40 miles or more an hour, while
the Hellstrom automobile was going
about 10. Judge Dolan declared last
night that Chief Downing and he had,
because of complaints received dur
ing the afternoon, attempted to locate
CAO ROl4 UUC SuCCcSS.
Mr. Hellstrom was driving down
Fifth street, while the Ford was 60
ing west on Broadway He saw the
lights coming up the street, but they
were SO far away that he thought he
had plenty Of time to pass. The first
thing he knew, however, the car was
upon him. He set the brakes and
turned to the right.
Strikes Hub Of Wheel.
The other car shot across Fifth and
struck the hub of the front wheel of
the Hellstrom, machine just az II
crossed the cross walk on Fifth street,
the impact turning the machine half
way around and sending the Ford into
the telephone pole directly in front
of Homan's Bakery.
Except the front wheel struck, Mr..
Hellstrom's automobile was not dam
aged. If it had been a lighter ma
chine, it would probably have turned
over and, spectators declare, if it
had been hit in the center by the
speeding machine serious injury
would have followed.
Mrs. w. E. Lahr and baby were in
car only few feet from the tele-
phone pole hit by the Ford.
HeIIstrom Arrests Two.
Mr.. Hellstrom got out of his car
and arrested Swanson, Morris having
left. A man came up, said he was
an officer and offered to take Swan
son into custody. Mr.. Hellstrom ask
ed him to show his star. He couldn't
Mr.. Hellstrom invited him to go to
the police station with him and Swan
son, proceeding up the street with
both of them. He met A. F. ,McDon-
aid, former chief of police, and turn
ed the men over to him.
At the police station the man was
charged with impersonating an officer
of the law and placed in Jail. He
gave his name as w. R. Carley.
Chris Martineson, night captain,
soon placed Morris under arrest.

Railroad Managers Said To
Favor That

About Six Months
Trial.
(By Associated press.)

WASHINGTON, Aug. l6.-Among
the railrOad managers today there was
a discussion OF proposal for some
sort of permanent commission to
consider all railroad wage disputes In
the future and that It should begin.
with the present one.
Whether 1t should be semi private
tribunal organized by agreement be.
tween railroad men was not made clear
but there seems to be some sentiment
in favor of having 1t created by Act OF
Congress, somewhat in the nature OF
Encouragement OF the ESesent board
Of Mediation and Cancellation.
1t was not made clear whether Pres
ident Wilson was considering the idea
or not.
Brotherhood leaders would not say
whether a compromise might be reach.
cd by putting an eight hour day into
effect tor six months for trial and
allowing pro rata pay for over time,
US has been suggested, but they said
that such T. system would have decided
advantages over the one under which
they now are working.
Under that plan man earning four
hollars In ten hours would make the
same amount In eight hours and over
time would start at SO cents an ihour
instead OF 40.
Thus at end of ten hours he would
have earned Sd instead Of 81, as he
now earns and be getting 14Epay for
over time.
