President Wilson talked to-day with
the three ranking Democrats of the
House Naval Committee - Chairman
Padgett, Talbot, Of Maryland, and
Estopnal, Of Louisiana. and urged
them TO agree TO the Senate building

thing else. wants 20 put through what
ever the Administration desires.
Nr Padgett warned the President
that there would be fight against the
senate bill, and he made no prediction
as 20 how IL would come out, but the
action in the House, which followed
the visit 20 the White House, was
most favorably interpreted at both
ends Of the Capitol
The disappointment with which the
big navy Senators heard last week that
the Senate bill had been sent TO the
House Naval Committee was changed
into pleasure to-day. when word was
brought 10 the upper chamber that the
House had agreed 10 a conference with
only the customary blanket disagree
ment 10 Senate amendments. II had
been feared that the Naval Committee
would amend the bill beyond recogni-
ton. OF that the little navy men
would begin a flibuster, which would
hold up the measure.
Representative Cox, Of Indiana, who
protested against the size of the bill,
assured the House it would be neces-
ssry 10 have a quorum TO pass the
conference agreement. This threat Is
serious, because many representatives.

From a sihr Correspondent Of Tho Tribune ]

Plattsburg, N. Y, July 27.-Heat and
overstudy have driven one rookie in
sane. He is +. Leland Cation, of Mel
rose. Mass, member of Company A.
9Th Regiment, Seniors. To-day he wa,
committed TO the Ogdensburg State
Hospital for the Insane by County
Judge A. s. Hogue.
He first showed signs of insanity
while on the rife range three days
ago. He was placed under restraint
after resistance. and taken to the
post hospital, where he was placed in
Il straitjacket
His brother was sent for and, arriv-
ing yesterday, prepared to take him
home, but his condition was too vo-
lent and the case was brought before
the court for action.

BRIDEGROOM TRIES TO DIE
Three Weeks Married, He Slashes
Throat

Three weeks after his marriage, Will
lam Muller, of 947 Brook Avenue, The
Bronx, yesterday attempted TO commit
suicide By cutting his throat with a
razor.
He is a prisoner at the Lebanon Hos

been assaulted by four men, but later
admitted the attempt to die.

Camp Doctors Needed.

In addition to the Plattsburg post
hospital. there are four regimental dis
rensaries that have to be manned with
coctors. With the administration OF
typhoid prophylactic, with heat pros
trations, many forms of indigestion
and other ailments that are frequent
among the rockies, the need of plen-
tiful supply of doctors was felt.
On larger scale there was the mat
ter of camp sanitation to be looked
after, and this requires not only med
ical learning. but practical camp expe-
rience as well, and it is in this that
the double purpose of the medico-mil-
itary camp is revealed. In addition to
being on hand to help treat the rook-
les, the doctors are also being put
through a thorough course in practical
camp sanitation, which will qualify
them as medical reserve officers.
The third tour of the medico mill
tary branch of the camp got under
way yesterday Major Henry Page
from Atlanta. Ga, has arrived to take

The following article which ap-
reared in the Devils Lake Daily
Journal, three years ago may prove
interesting to Washburn people. We
reproduce it here, by permission OF
the writer, for readers of the Times,
In the above cut can be seen the
picture of man, with pail in his
hands, Familiarity known around Dew
lis Lake, Irish Jimmie, who was
reported to have been shot to death
for conspiracy against his country
during the Spanish-Amesican war.
Let the appelation Irish Jimmie
be forgotten. James Moley was the
name my God father gave me. I've
been alive since ] was born. I'm
going to live till l die. Ill live as
long as can and tell the reason why.
While | do not profess to be pro-
phet, nor the son of prophet, the
corrupt tendencies of the independ-
ing times, leads me to believe that
we are living-in- the-last-days of this
republic, under the present order of
things.
For if | rightly understand the
trend of events, and believe do,
there never was time, since first
man began to hold dominion over
man, when evil was so rife and COR
ruption sites in so high places as it
does in money-mad America today.
A good natural and wholesome
public sentiment is both essential and
necessary, as a means to the safe
guarding of the peoples rights.
But false sentiments which are ere
ated to serve evil purposes, are the
avenues along which nations and en-
rires of the past have rushed head
long to ruin, back to the dim and
distant past, down through the CEN
turtles, search the aisles of history
and you will find that they are the
same agencies which in all ages have
undermined and destroyed.

the central figure in a marvelously
strange case in which all noted busy

and petty principles all combined to

day of November 1906, was ar
rested in Devils Lake on a charge of
criminal libel, and on the end day of
April 1908, was released from GUS
tody without being brought to trial.
The criminal libel case grew out
of letter, written to the mayor of
the city of Devils Lake, in which |
stated the prevailing conditions re-
garding blind pigging as l had known.

that said letter was a private privil-

Dogs of War.

The "dogs of war" have been more
than figure of speech for thousands
of years. They were used in Egypt
400 B. C. The Romans, the Teutons
and other fighting nations of antiquity
depended much on them for sentinel
and defense purposes. In the middle
ages they are said to have even worn
armor. The Spanish discoveries used
bloodhounds in tracking the Indians
in this country.

Looking Ahead

The time may as yet be a
little distant to begin casting
about for candidates for the city
election but if there ever was a
time in the history of Washburn
when this question should be
given serious thought it is this
spring.
During the past year Wash
burn has made great strides and
it has risen from the ranks of a
slumbering town to. a thriving
and prosperous city and business
has started on the upgrade.
The prospects for the future
never were brighter and big
things will be doing in city
affairs during the next two years,
things that will need the atten-
ton of men of big business
capacity and it is therefore
necessary that the voters select
the best men they can find to
handle the city affairs during
the coming two years.
There is a unity Of feeling in
the city now with everyone
pulling for a bigger and better
Washburn and there would be
that unity with the right type OF
candidates in the field.
In this connection we would
like to suggest the name OF
Frank T. Beers for Mayor. The
city of Washburn is in need OF a
man of Mr.. Beers type to head
the city government for ne
would give weight and business
supervision that would count for
much. Mr.. Beers is a man OF
big business affairs, being super
intendent of the plant of the Du-
Pont Powder company at Banks
dale. His election would be
unanimous should he consent to
allow his name to be placed upon
the ballot for the people OF this
city and the workmen at the
works realize the worth OF this
man to the community.
We realize that it would be a
big sacrifice on Mr.. Beers part
to consent to head the city
government but with such a man
as Mayor, men of high type and
standing in the community would
consent to accept different ward
offices and thus help to share
some of the work in connection
with the city government.
Mr.. Beers has always shown a
keen interest in city affairs. AS
President of the Board of School
Commissioners he has done much
to improve the standard OF the
schools. He is interested IN
everything that will tend to
make Washburn a bigger and
better city in which to live and
he is the kind of a man needed
at this time to head the city
government.
We hope that Mr.. Beers will
not look adversely on the men
ton of his name in this capacity
but that he will consent to abide
by the will of the people" should
they name him as Mayor at the
spring election.
