NATIONAL GUARD

ON THE BORDER
Militia Will Not Be Withdrawn
Until All Danger Is Past,
Says Sec. Baker.

lent Training on the Mexi-
can Front.

Washington, Aug. 21.-The national
guard will be retained on the Mexi-
can border until it can be withdrawn
without again endangering American
lives and property. Secretary Baker
so declared the administrations pol
icy today in answering a score of let
ters from many parts Of the country,
complaining that the state troops
were being held in, service after the
emergency, for which they, We're call
ed out, apparently had passed
Winning "eloodIess Victories"
In general, the complainants, whose
names were withheld, alleged that
border service was entailing a loss
financially on militiamen and hard
ships on their families. The secre.
tary replied to all those seeming to
merit attention. BY it's presence on
the border, he wrote to one, the guard
Is winning bloodless victories daily"
He declared that American residents
along the international line were en-
joying peace and security that they
could not know without the military
forces to protect them.
"The emergency, however, Mr. Ba-
ker said in another letter, (which re-
quired this call for the militia, was
one Of a grave character, affecting
the safety and lives of citizens Of
the United Statesmen, women and
children. The presence of, the militia
on the Mexican border has restored
order and given a high degree Of safe
ty land security to the lives Of our
people in that troubled country than
they have for long time had. The
militia is, therefore, performing val
uable SERVICE and the fact that this
service is being performed without ac-
tive military operations, entailing loss
of life to our soldiers, is a cause of
congratulation and happiness"
Receiving Excellent Training.
Referring to the elaborate and ex-
tensive training the militiamen are
receiving, the secretary expressed the
opinion that it would fit them to act
in time of war or other emergency as
a supporting arm, or second line for
the regular army.
"Clearly, so soon as restored
state of order on the border justifies
it, these troops will be returned to
their homes" he wrote. I'm the mean
time, it. is not possible for the de-
partment to say how soon such sit
uation will arise, although the Mexi-
can situation is one of increasing
hopefulness."

CHECK EPIDEMIC
Physicians Discuss Plan for Fight
Against Spread of Infantile
Paralysis.

Chicago. Aug. 21.-A new method of
fighting infantile paralysis through
anti-toxin developed from the blood or
a recovered victim Of the malady was
discussed tonight at conference at
tended by DR.. John D. Robertson, city
superintendent of health, and several
Chicago physicians.
The method, according to DR.. Rob-
ertson, is as yet in its experimental
stages. One man, who had recovered
from the disease, volunteered today to
give blood for the experiment.
Three positive and three suspected
cases of infantile paralysis were add
ed to the number of victims here to-
day, the largest number of cases that
we're reported here for weeks.

San Diego, Cal, Aug. 21.--Charles
e. Hughes, addressing an audience on
the Exposition grounds here today,
outlined his views on the protective
tariff, dominant Americanism, nation
al unity and Preparedness 4
the tariff on sugar by the Underwood
act, as an Illustration of a policy to
which he was opposed.
"Why should there have been an
attempt to cripple and destroy the SUI
gar. industry in this country?' he
asked "Was there any reason for
it? Was there any craftsmanship in
it? Was it called for by the coun-
try? No.
"Our friends discovered their mis-
take after awhile, but we desire to
be represented by those who have
foresight and not simply hindsight." "
America must be sound and honest
in it's life, but it must be business.

triotic, with America first and Amer.

Mr.. Hughes spoke of the need OF
industrial cooperation"
"The man who looks. upon his labor
ers simply as mere ecGordc units has

"What we need in this country is
not demagoguery nor standpatism
but the desire to benefit our fellow
man by working together to that end
according to the spirit of our institu

'sWe do not wish to watt" Mr.
Hughes continued, until an import
ant industry is crippled and in danger
of destruction.
"The good people of Louisiana pro-
tested in vain. They went to their
own administration in vain. They
presented facts, only to be disregard

"Now I protest against any action
aimed at the crippling of American

REVOLT OF DEMOCRATS
MAY PR0LONG CONGRESS
Session at Washington May Bt
Delayed by Unexpected Move
of Politicians.

Washington, Aug. 21.-An unexpect-
ed Democratic revolt in the senate
today resulted in the immigration bill
being taken up in defiance of the
Democratic caucus and opened the
way for efforts to displace the rev.
enue bill as unfinished business, an
action which might indefinitely pro-
long the session of congress.
The Democratic senators voted
with the solid Republican minority to
take up the immigration bill upon a
motion Of Senator Smith of South
Carolina, chairman of the immigra-
tion committee.
Administration leaders said tonight
they have enough votes to defeat the
Smith motion. Even some of the re-
voting Democrats have declared their
intention of voting against it. Should
it prevail the fight over the literacy
provision would upset all adjourn
ment calculations.
Senator Stone, chairman of the for
eign relations committee. was partic-
ularly aroused over the action of the
revolters. He charged them with
treachery to the party in overturn-
ing the decision of the Democratic
caucus to postpone action on the i'm
migration bill until December.

CITY SCHOOLS
70 Be- OPENED
. !. SEPTEMBER 4
..- N.' - -.
Supt. Martin Makes Important
Announcements in Regard to
Local Schools.
TEACHERS LISTED
FOR COMING YEAR

Superintendent J. M. Martin of the
Bismarck schools yesterday made sew
eral announcements relative to the
opening of the schools of the city that
will be interesting to all. The Capital
City schools will open for the 1851
school year Monday, September 4.
High school students not previously
registering must do so Monday morn
ing between the hours of 9 and 1880.
Monday being a legal holiday the reg
ular school sessions will not COM
mence until Tuesday, September 5.
A general teachers meeting, at
which all teachers are expected to be
present, will take place Monday after
noon, September 4, at 2::30 o'clock
The grade pupils will be enrolled
Tuesday morning.
The grade arrangement will be as
follows: North Ward school, grades
1, 2, 3, 4, Z and 8; Will school, grades
/, 1, 2, 2, 1874 and 5. Owing to the
congestion in the high school, the
most expensive part of our school
system, the grades which have here
tofore been housed in the high school
building will be taken care of else
where in the city until permanent
quarters are secured. The building
and grounds committee of the board
of education are in charge of the mat
ter of location for the grades which
we're in the high school last year and
q fourth grade which has been added
to relieve crowded conditions now ex-
listing. These outside grades will be
grades 4, 5, 6, 6.
It is hoped that the division of the
city for attendance may be somewhat
as last year, and doubtless will be in
the first three grades, but above that
grade there will of necessity be some
irregularity, owing to the conditions
mentioned above. The superintendent
of schools is hopeful that the patrons
will be patient and give an opportun-
ity for those in charge to adjust the
attendance, which will be attended to
as carefully and correctly as possible.
The assignment of teachers appears
elsewhere.
Years of experience have taught us
that the best results are obtained by
those who enter on the opening day
and continue regular and punctual in
attendance until the close of the
school year. Teachers are instructed
to receive all pupils according to the
standing given them at the close of
the public school year last June. All
pupils not in possession of such Gre
dentials are to enter school through
the office Of the superintendent, secur-

"The people of Texas are especially

pressed in the recent primary vote

as significant, when it is remember.

FIND DEAD BODY OF
HOnESTEADER ON PRAIRIE

Steele, Aug. 21.-Few particulars
can be learned concerning the findings
of the body of Gust Hanson, a home
steader near Steele, dead on the prai-
rie other than the information that
Hanson and two other men had been
drinking to some extent the day be-
fore the accident.
Team Wedsed Between Granary.
The team which the homesteader
had been driving was found wedged
between a granary and some other
structure. It is said that search had
to be made by the neighbors for the
missing man.
About $4,000 In insurance.
When the body was recovered. it
was taken to Steele. Two life insur-
ance policies of three or four thous-
and dollars, one in the Sons of Nor
way and the other in Rochester,
Mimi, company.
Hanson was between IS and 10
years of age.
Two Theories Advanced.
The supposition Is that the team
ran away while he was returning to
his home near Steele or that he was
accidentally thrown out Of the rig.

BY KENNETH W. PAYNE.

Rochester, ~ r., Aug. 21-Saved
from death in the electric chair eight
times in succession by last.minute re-
prieves! !, .
This is the hair.raising history of
Charles Stielow, farm hand, said to be
half-wit,3 who lies in the death house
at Sing Sing prison.
1t has just been revealed to the
writer that little blonde convict in
Sing Sing deserves all credit for a
tip which resulted in Stielow's last
stay of execution.
Stielow was convicted in Orleans
county, N. Y, on a charge of murder
ing farmer, Charles Phelps, and his
housekeeper, Margaret Wolcott. He
has been brought face to face with
death eight times, suffering fearful
ordeals which might have driven
some men insane!
In Judge Adolph jRodenbeck's court
here an appeal for a new trial will
soon be heard. In the meantime the
thrilling story of how Stielow's wife
and children have had their loved one
saved for them is attracting nation
wide attention. a .
Misha Applebaum, leader of the HUI
manitarian Cult, today told me the
first concise and connected story of
this many-reeled thriller. .

nightgown, was found by Stielow on
his doorstep" said Appelbaum. run

"But little blonde youngster, who
is convict in Sing Sing-I cannot
give his name-discovered informa-
tion he said would prove Stielow in
nocent. Stricken with horror at the
tragedy of the man with child s

Rail Head Issues Statement.

N~sS sOO0SO SS0sSUs~'sss
The railroad heads still insist the
president is asking them to sacrifice
the prnciple of arbitration. Elisha

statement tonight, in which he said:
'That the railroads should grant,

President Wilson and later conferrtnE

who already have accepted the presi.

decision of the employers. 1t was said
they would wait until President Will
son dismissed them, but stood ready
to call strike should the negotia-
tions fail. E.s
Although a few of the railroad exc.
cutives invited had rot arrived this
afternoon, it was decided that those
already in Washington were repre-.
sentatives and therefore the president
called them to the White House and
earnestly urged that his plan Of set.

The president spoke in more init.
mate fashion than he has in any Of
the previous conferences. He refer.
red to the disastrous effect 4 strike
would have, and declared so 'espe.
cially at this time when every ounce
OF energy and initiative has to be
mobilized to meet the extraordinary
situation which will emerge out Of tho

Reiterating that It was impossible
for him to bring about arbitration un.

declared 1t was necessary to discuss
practical methods Of averting q pcs-
sible strike. ... ..... =

The railroad executives did not "a.

dent, but Hale Holden, president Of
