Carroll and Harold. and her mother,
Mrs. S. S. Lee, Mrs. Cole since the
latter part of June has driven 10000
miles over mountain and prairie
roads. without experiencing a mishap
bordering on the serious. During the
entire journey from Long Beach to
Madison, which included numerous
side trips, repairs made to the car,
with the exception of tires, cost less
than SIS. While during a part of the
way the party was accompanied by
Roscoe Babcock, Mrs. Cole was at the
automobiles wheel during the entire
distance. The car is a Cadillac eight.
The trip from Long Beach was
made by way Of Portland and Spo-
kane, Wash, and east over the yell
lowstone trail, stops being made in
the Washington cities and in the ma
tional park. A tent, bedding and
cooking utensils are carried. A part
of the time, on the trip east, the
party camped out at night.
Until eight years ago, when she
moved to the Pacific coast. Mrs. Cole
vas a resident Of Mellette.
The return journey will be by
way of Fremont. Neb., and then west
over the Lincoln highway. The party
lunched at the Lake Park hotel.

erage weather and roads they would
reach home in ten days.

AT THE IMPERIAL
PRETTY MRS. SMITH IN MO-
TION PICTURES FRIDAY
EVENING, SEPT. Is.

What would you do if you married
a missionary, went out to Africa with
him, tired of the life and came home?
Having received news that your hus-
band was dead, promptly proceeded
to marry another man with the same
last name.
With this husband you attempt
love in a cottage, and finding he is
not a good provider YOU threaten to
sue him for non-suppOrt. He disap-
pears. leaving a note OF farewell pin
ned TO his coat. which is discovered
at the edge of the sad sea waves.
Having thus disposed of No. 2, you
fall in love again, this time with a
wealthy clubman, athletically inclin-
ed, but of a jealous nature, and No.
8 threatens TO sue for divorce, after
having left you to your own devices.
Now, suppose all three husbands
should reappear at one time, do you
think that you would really be a big
amist and what do you think you
would do? This is the situation in
which FRITZ Scheff finds herself in
the title role of Pretty Mrs. Smith"
The best method of solving this
problem is to see for yourself how
she does it.

Spouse. An investigation revealed
that the bathroom door was locked.
The door was broken down.
An empty bottle labeled carbolic
acid was found. That the idea to

Gated by the fact that at the drug
store where the bottle was purchased
it was said no carbolic acid had been
sold today, and hat it was not
known when a woman answering
Mrs. Bourne's description had called
there. Relatives did not know the
woman was in possession of the
poison.

SCHOOL ATHLETICS
HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL SQUAD
STARTS PRACTICE.

The call for football candidates at
the high school resulted in over
twenty big huskies donning the foot
ball toys and reporting at the first
practice, which was held at the ath-
letic field. The new coach worked
the men easy, starting in with the
fundamental drills. such as falling on
the ball, charging, forward pass,
punting, blocking. etc. Some of the
new men look like good varsity ma
teriai and will make the old men
work to keep their place.
With as good a schedule as ever
being booked it looks as If Madison
was going to be represented by a first
class high school football team-one
that will compare f%avorably with any
in the state. Let US back the boys
and help them do their best.

To Meet Each Week Day

The committee decided to hold hear
ings each week day from 10 a. IN. to
100 D. m. only to give the official re-
porters time to keep the record up TO
date for the committee and for wit
nesses. No decision was reached as to
what witnesses will be called when the
railroads conclude. Representatives
OF the American Telephone and Tele-
graph Company, the Western Union
Telegraph Company and several of the
big express companies were present
and will be heard before the commit
tee reports.
The railroad phase of the investiga-
ton is expected to take most of the
committees time, but under the reso'
luton which created it its investiga-
tons are to extend to all such public
utilities.
Mr.. Newlands explained that the in
quiry would cover a wide field He
said:
1T will relate to every phase of the
transportation question the rail car
rers, the river carriers and the ocean
carriers, and the perfection OF a har-
monious system of transportation en-

RUMORED

Paris, November 22-Germany is
about to follow up her declaration OF
Polish independence with a similar an
nouncement regarding Lithuania, ac-
cording to dispatches from Switzerland
to the morning papers.
The dispatches say that the new
state probably will receive Prince Eitel
Frederick, second son OF the Emperor,
as its sovereign, and will form a state
Of the German Empire with a similar
status to that of Bavaria of Saxony.
AS in the case of Poland, the dis
patches add, the first step in the Gre
alton of the new state will be the for
nation Of a Lithuanian army to fight
under Field Marshal Won Hindenburg.
1t is estimated that Lithuanian could
raise 10000 men.

Referring to Government ownership,
Senator Newlands said:
1T is a question that must be faced.
other nations, far advanced in civiliza-
ton, have adopted the system. Re-
Gently, under the stress Ct war. al
most all European Governments have
taken over the railroads. Whether
that will be a permanent taking over
or only temporary one, it demon
strates that In conditions of great
crisis when autocratic powers must be
given to the Government, all intelligent
Governments drift toward absolute and
complete operation of the roads as the
only solution of the question.
"ShOuld Watch Europe"
IF we pursue the exercise and the
study of Government regulation wise
ly. persistently and energetically, we
may create such a system of regulation
as will meet every requirement both in
time Of peace and of war and in exig-
ency or crisis. But 1t seems to be a
wise thing for the Government of the
United States to ascertain now the his
tory of the countries that have adopted
Government ownership and operation
OF railways, and to watch the expert
ences of the uropean countries in this
great war in this regard.
"In this connection will come the
question of the method of taking over
the railroads. Shall it be accomplish
ed by an actual valuation of the rail-
ways and condemnation of them, or
shall they be taken over by the easier
method of aaklng over the stocks and
the bonds at their market value, thus
at one step having the National Gov
eminent take the position of stock
holder and security holder In these
great corporations?"
Strikes as a means of settling labor
disputes Senator Newlands character
lied as "the most barbarous and bru-
tai of processes"
THE question is" he added, "wheth.
er nation pretending to some degree
OF civilization which has eliminated
the doctrine of force from application
to controversies between man and
man, and which furnishes judicial trlb-
unals for the settlement of those con-
troversies, and which is now ana has
been for years endeavorlng interna-
tionally TO secure system under
which the nations OF the earth will
create similar tribunals for the adjust
ment of international disputes with
out resort to force-whether a civilized
nation can be content to perpetuate
the existing condition of things"

LEGISLATION
To Aid Railroads.&c. BE Suggested

ing Executives Are To BE
Heard First Senator
Newlands Tells Pur-
pose of Hearings.

Washington, November 22-What is
the matter with the railroads, and what
kind of legislation Congress might en-
act to better conditions will be pic
tured to the Joint Congressional Com
nittee Investigating transportation
problems, beginning Thursday, by the
executives of some Of the greatest sys-
toms in the country.
The Investigating Committee held its
first session today, heard an opening
statement by its Chairman, Senator
Newlands, and received notice Of APP
pearance from nearly 100 public utility
companies, State Railroad Commits
sions, commercial and Industrial or
CARNATIONS and shippers and individ-
uals.
The committee decided to hear the
railroads first in the belief that their
executives are better prepared to state
their case without further delay. The
Railway Executives Advisory Com
mittee, composed of more than dozen
heads of important systems, was ad-
vised, and it is expected that most of
its members will testify before the rail-
road side is completely told.

STEALING MELONS
MENACE TO SAFETY

Watermelons in abundance were the
near-means of getting two men and
two women, all well known, in Jail
Monday morning. Said growing
melons were at the Garrett place, on
Eighteenth avenue, between Lee and
Blount streets.
1t vas after 2 o'clock in the morn

ence of two men was discovered in
the watermelon field. Mr.. Garrett,
believing they were negro boys, fired
a revolver several times into the air.
A form dropped. Had he killed a
man? was CARROTS first thought. He
went out to investigate, after tele-
phoning the police station that water
melon thieves were at work.
Then Garrett went into the field.
Sure enough he found white man,
but before he had a chance to feel his
pulse to see if life was extinct, the
party jumped up and, instead of
groaning like a wounded man, be-
sought the watermelon owner not to

COTTAGE HILL AND
QUINTETTE PLANS
SCHOOL DIS RICT

At the school election held in OUR
tette Saturday the voters decided to
abolish their school distrirz, for it is
alleged that the small school at Fill
ingimville is being shown more pref
erence than it should be.
At the same time a plan was
launched by Quintette and Cottage
Hill to consolidate and make a new
district, extending to a line just be
low the latter point. This it Is claimed
will be a better arrangement entirely
and result in greater harmony among
the schools.
TO do this it is necessary under
the provisions of the s>hool board to
present a list signed by 20 per cent
of the qualified voters of the district,
which is to be advertised so days be-
fore the plan is submitted to the beard
for action. This will take pr3ba0l7
four months and no change is likely
to be made until the school session
opens in the fall.
