HEARING OF COUNTY
f. COMMISSIONERS BEGUN

International Falls, Minn., Oct. 20.
Fred Harmon of the Northwestern
Construction company, created SEN
sation at the investigation into Koo-
chiching county road building yester-
day when he swore Assistant County
Engineer Day had insisted they make
highway No. "a three rods wide in
stead of four. He testified further

(Harmon) had nothing to say about
the work so long as he (Day) was
satisfied ,..
Ordered Let Out.
According to the testimony of Har-
mon, he went to County Highway En-
gineer Ogaard and complained that
Day was allowing some work to be
done so poorly that he was afraid it
would not pass muster. It was soon
after this that the state highway COM
mission insisted that Day be 1et
out"
Engineer Ogaard was put back on
the stand yesterday afternoon and
stated he had decided that he was
not the regularly appointed engineer
for highway No. "a. Attorney Ar
mold refreshed his memory with a.
copy of his commission, his bond and
13 monthly salary warrants drawn
from Koochiching county during the
construction of highway No. "a. The

sfck will probably be called immedi-
ately afterwards, although their

q. The meeting of the county commits
Ateners was again adjourned, this
time until Oct. a.. The attorney gen
eral had not prepared an opinion as
to the rights of Colburn and Burdick
to act on the county board. Over the
telephone he stated that County At
torney Jevne had not formally re-
quested an opinion; but that he would
Investigate Immediately. He said,
however, that the vacation of office
by former Commissioner Mcdonald
was a question of fact, and not of law.

fNot True American Statement, Says
Candidate in Answer to
Attack.
REPLIES TO ADDRESS
OF SECRETARY M'ADOO
Reiterates That He Meant What He
Said in Regard to Lusitania
Affair.

Youngstown, O., Oct. 20.-Charles
e. Hughes reiterated last night that
he meant what he said in Louisville
recently concerning the course he
would have followed with reference
to the Lusitania. He replied to a
recent utterance of Secretary Nc
Adoo, with the declaration that ap-
parently it seemed impossible to the
administration that a person could
believe what he said.
Answers McAdoo.
"Now rises the secretary of the
treasury to complain that this was
not a statement of what would have
done had the sinking occurred" Mr..
Hughes said, after reiterating that he
would "have stated his position
equivocally" in advance of the
sinking. II was under the impression
that when I said what I would have
stated in advance as to what I would
do, everyone would know that stated
what in fact I would have done in the
described event. The secretary's re-
marks show in an Illuminating way
this administration conceptions of
the value of words
Mr.. Hughes spoke before an audi
ence in the theater here. He also re-
piled to statement attributed to
Secretary of War Baker in a recent
speech in which Washington soldiers
in the march to Valley Forge, in the
days Of the American revolution were
said to be just as bad characters as
the Mexicans.
Attacks Bakers Talk.
II never supposed the day would
come," Mr.. Hughes said, when the
representative of an American ad-
ministration would say that of those
;. who gave us our liberty"
After quoting the statement %attri-
buted to Secretary Baker, Mr.. Hughes
read from Secretary Lansing's de-
scription in June last of the atrocities
in Mexico contained in a note to the
de facto government of Mexico. Mr..
Lansing's recital of the civic strife
in Mexico, with it's appendant loss
of American lives and destruction of
American property, and that portion
of the note relating to the Santa
Ysabel massacre, were read by Mr..
Gghes verbatum.
IAN administration imbued with
.he spirit of true Americanism," Mr..
Hughes said, would be incapable of
the statement attributed to the secre-
tary of war. 1t must bring the blush
of shame to the, cheeks of every
American that apologies for the de-
plorable record in Mexico should be
made after this fashion,"

The Most Important Saving
Probably the most important
saving in the Southern Yellow
pine industry. however, promises
to be that Of the upper portions
of the trees heretofore rejected
as worthless, but in future to be
worked up into fence posts and

method of treating wood with
%creosote oil is largely response
BILE for the saving of the pine tree
tops and their manufacture into
fence posts on a large scale
Southern yellow pine'is naturally
impergnated with quantities Of
resin and wood oils that make
the wood remarkably resistent to
decay, and when these preserva-
tives are reinforced with creo-
sote oil the pine is rendered prac-
tically impervious to the action
of moisture, mould or other agen-
cies that tend to destroy. In En-
gland creosoted Southern yellow
pine not only is used extensively
for wood block paving and heavy
construction, but before the be-
ginning of the European war it
was fast superseding all other
material for farm building.

Stephen Grafton, Did Not Know
What Fighting the Cam
era Meant.

There is a saying in the par
lance of the studios, Fight the
camera" 1t so happened that
Stephen Grafton, who is well
known old-time actor on the leg
itimate stage, had never heard
this expression. Mr.. Grafton
was appearing for the first time
on the screen in "The Family
Stain" the latest William Fox
big feature release, produced by
William S. Davis. Mr.. Grafton
is a son of the old Erin and is
quite proud of the fact that he
can put up his fists with any
Broadway actor. To say "fht"
in his presence, is like waving a
red flag at a bull, so when Mr..
Davis suddenly yelled out one
afternoon, Fight the camera"
Mr.. Grafton squared off as
though he were going to prize
fight. Everybody stopped work
ing for a second and Grafton, no
ticed a sudden stopping of mo-
ton in the picture, looked to see
what happened. While he did
not get the idea what fighting
the camera" was, the director
nor none of those engaged in the
picture got Mr.. Gratton's idea.
1t was finally explained to him
that fighting the camera"
meant to dodge out of a scene
nd hide behind somebody's back.
The affair furnished no end of
for the players that day.
