President Asks Congress fol
Laws to Prevent Railroad
Strike

Washington, Aug. 2S.-Presi-
dent Wilson tonight definitely
decided to go before congress in
person tomorrow or Wednesday
to recommend legislation aimed
to avert the threatened nation
wide railroad strike or to stop if,
If it comes before congress can
act. He worked until late to-
night on his message in which
he will tell members of the SEN
ate and house the negotiations
to date and lay before them a
definite legislative programme.
The president reached this de-
cision after conferences OF the
White House with the commit
tee of eight railroad presidents
and the four brotherhood heads
on a new proposal for settlement
OF differences suggested by the
executives, and after a prolong-
ed discussion of the situation at
the capitol with the members of
the Democratic steering COM
mittee of the senate.
The proposition of the rail
road executives was that an in
vestigation of all issues be con-
Quoted by a commission to be
named by the president, the in
vestlgation to last for period
of three or four months, no ac
ton to be taken by either side
in the meantime, and at the con
clusion of the inquiry the situa-
ton to be what it now is, the
employees having the choice of
either arbitration or striking.
The brotherhood heads prom
lsed a reply tomorrow morning,
anu tnere was every indication
it would be untovorable.
When the railroad brother
hood heads went to the White
House tonight the president not
only laid before them the plan
of the executives, but strongly
urged the withdrawal of a tenta-
tive strike order sent Out yester-
day, subject TO release, calling
for a walkout of the 100000
brotherhood members at 7 a. M,
Labor day, September 4. This
request was flatlv refused, the
leaders saying only the commit
tee of $40, which left Washing
ton yesterday, had power to re-
call the order.
Copies of the strike order
were brought to the presidents
attention after they had fallen in
to the possession of the railroad
executives. 1t had been known
that the members of the conf
mittee of $40 carried home with

Band PROJECT
NATTER WILL BE TAKEN UP AT
MEETING AT CONNER
CIAL CLUB.

There will be a meeting in the
Commercial club rooms tonight OF
persons interested in the project to
start a city band.
1t is expected that the meeting will
be addressed by w. X. Weide, of
Washington Springs, and others. Mr..
Weide is a bandmaster, and he has
expressed his willingness TO assist in
organizing a city band here. The
idea OF erecting a bandstand also will
probably be discussed.
Members of the city commission
said today that the city cannot legally
appropriate money toward a band,
unless a fund Is created by a vote OF
the people.
At a meeting held in the Mer-
chants association rooms a few
months ago, an effort was made to
get a band going. Most of the bust
ness men present expressed them
selves as being in favor of a city mus
zeal organization. 1t was suggested
at that time that the question of the
city making a substantial %appropria-
ton for the purpose be voted on al
next springs election. There are a
number of good band musicians In
the city.

FARMER DISAPPEARS
kINGSBURY COUNTY FARMER
LEAVES HOME IN A MYS-
FERROUS MANNER.

DeSmet, Dec. 5.-Mystery sur
rounds the disappearance of w. j..
Cannon, a we'll known farmer of
Spirit Lake township, some miles
from here.
Cannon was assisting a son to
bank the house with earth as a pro-
lection against cold weather when he
suddenly walked away without say
ing a word to the son. He soon dis
appeared from the view of the son,
and since that time no the slightest
trace of him can be found, notwith-
standing that neighbors have search
ed the country over. Bloodhounds
were secured to assist in the search.
They followed an apparently circuit
Gus route from his home to a DeSmet
depot.
The only explanation that can be
given of the disappearance Is that
Cannon, while assisting his son, sud
denly became temporarily deranged
and wandered away without realizing
where he was going. At the time he
disappeared his wife and another son
were absent from home. His family
relations were pleasant and his finan-
cial condition was good.

new APPROPRIATION
ADDITIONAL $4,000 Is ASKED
FOR MADISON POSTOFFTCE
BUILDING.

Announcement has been made at
Washington that the United States
treasury department has asked con-
gress for an appropriation of $4,000
with which to complete the proposed
new Madison postoffice.
The most recent appropriation. if
forthcoming, would meal that a gov
eminent building to cost upward of
$100, 900 is to be erected here. The
original appropriation for the build
ing, passed by congress, was 1000.
AT the last session of congress an APP
preparation of SIP. 000 was made.
The site for the government build
ing, at the corner of Fifth street and
Harth avenue, was purchased some
years ago. Last spring a represent
alive of the government came here
for samples of soil dug from the site.
1t was explained that an analysis of
the soil was necessary before the
work of constructing the foundation
vas started.
Congressman Dillon. when here a
little more than a month ago, said
that work or the building had been
delayed on account of scarcity of
ready cash in the treasury depart
ment.

pills in the jar, which was 1927. She
was given a $50 box of chocolates.

HAS MUCH Cash
MADISON BUILDING Il LOAN AS
ISOLATION Is IN A FLOUR
ISHING CONDITION.

Prosperity was reflected in the re-
port presented at . regular meeting
last night of the directors of the
Madison Building & Loan association.
1t was revealed that on account of
having more cash at its disposal than
it was thought it would have, loans
can now be made by the company. 1t
had been more than four months
since the association had loaned out
money, and it had not been the in
tention to the making OF
loans until next spring. On applica-
tons previously received, $4,000
was loaned by the directors last
night. Most of the money will be
put into improvements in the city at
an early date. The association, has,
it was shown, $3S5.000 loaned on
property, and with the new loans for
which application has been made, the
total will run we'll about the S400,-
600 figure.
The next annual meeting of the as
ISOLATION, at which three directors
will be elected, will be held on the
evening of January 2.
