printed. The conspiracy of silence
where a newspaper advertiser was
hit worked perfectly. .
Several queer features appeared
in the case later. The police report
ed that the inquest over the girls
body would be held at Balls morgUe
at II o'clock today. The quiz was
really called at THE home of the girl
at 10.
When the deputy coroner arrived
to start the inquest and take testi-
mony,, tending to lay the blame
where it belonged, he found that not
one witness was present. Not even
the police who were called by the
store managers right after the kill
ing were there. No representative
of Siegel-CoOper's was present and
no one knew how the accident had
HAPPENED. The coroner continued
the inquest for investigation.
Helen Smith, the girl who had the
narrow escape, has been confined to
her home since the accident because
of a sprained leg, sustained in her
Jump. She lives at $685. S. Elizabeth

his residence is at 1913 S. State st.
Miss Minnick's folks say that she
has been working at Siegels in the
grocery department since 1912 and
that she started work for SIS a week.
Sup't Bridges says that Miss Min
mick did work for Siegel's in 1912,
but that she left and has been there
only seven months this last time. He
admitted that her salary was 81 a
week when she was killed.
According to her folks the girl
worked from 8:15 a. m. to 6 at night
for this wage.

she had picked up cheaply in the
store basement. She thrust the rest
of her $7-doIlar-a-week salary into a
pocket of her Bingham apron and
opened the bag, to show. her hat to
Helen Smith, a clerk in her depart
ment on the grocery floor. Both
girls were going to get their coats as
the store had closed.
James McNeal, the negro elevator
operator, smiled at the girls and look
ed around to see the hat. He hum
med a happy tune because he was
glad his work was done; and this was
payday.
Then something happened.
McNeal shouted as he heard a
crash in the elevator shaft above him.
The elevator started slowly toward
the roof, although the power was not
on. The negro grabbed Helen, threw
her from the car and leaped after
her.
AS the negro jumped Mary tried
to get out. But the elevator caught
and lifted her to the top of the door
way, where it held her as in a wise
and slowly squeezed the breath from
her body.
In a hurried investigation by the
police and store officials blame was
laid on faulty mechanism of the ele-
vator. McNeal, the operator, they
said, was one Of the best in the store
and he was not intoxicated when the
accident occurred, they claim.
Sup't Bridges of SiegePs had the
body removed to Balls undertaking
rooms at 5O2 S. Dearborn and called
the Otis, Elevator Co. to determine
the cause of the trouble, which he
laid to the lift.

MEMOIRS ARE INTERESTING

At recent meeting of settlers CT
Kandiyohi county held at New London
to commemorate the sMtieth anniver-
sary of the exploration and first set
Element of that region by white men,
Harold Swenson read a decidedly in
teresting paper prepared by V. = E.
Lawson. This paper showed that Ed
win Whitefeld, father of w. J. White
field of this city, was among the very
earliest visitors to the Kandiyohi
country, going into that district in
1856 with the first exploration party.
The elder Whitefield was an eminent
artist and press agent of the period
and in 1857 personally conducted a
lecturing tour in the middle and east
ern states boosting for Kandiyohi, IL
.lustrating his lectures with his own
paintings. The lectures were a rev,
elation to fasteners but the
tour stranded on the rocks of the 1885,
financial panic. Material for Mr.
Ii wson's article was furnished largel!
from memoirs made by the eldel
Whitefeld and kept all these years b!
his son. The paper was published IL

st. Paul August ii. P. Dwyer of
Minneapolis, the Democratic nominee
for governor may not have the best
chance in the world for success-In
fact ii he should get by the leaders OF
his party would regard his election as
little short of a miracle-but this
knowledge is no bar to his sincerity
OF his belief that he will get by. If
nothing else he has the courage OF his
convictions, something the leaders of
the unwashed had impressed upon
them when at meeting of the Dem
ocratic state central committee, he
announced his declaration of princ.
plies and practically informed the big
fellows that if they did not like ms
stand they could lump it. Mr.. Dwyer,
better known as the ''boilermaker, .
said he was for the repeal of the
county option law against prohibition,
stood for home rule in all things, was
opposed to woman suffrage, approved
q shorter ballot, was a rank free
trader and believed in the spoils sys-
tenn. 81 believe" said the candidate

him as honest and cheered him round

Fred Carpenter Home for Period AT.
ter Visiting All Corners
of World

Fred Carpenter, globe trotter and
diplomat, is in the city for months
visit at the home of his uncle, G. M.
Sprague. 1t has been four years since
his last visit and he has come fox a
period of rest and recreation. Fred
Carpenter is one of Sank Centres
most famed sons. He has served as
minister to Morocco and minister to
Siam; also as private secretary. to
William Howard Taft during his in
cumbencies as governor of the Phil
lippine Islands, secretary of war and
as president. He resigned the presi-
Dental private secretaryship to accept
the Moroccan portfolio. In his Off
cial capacities and since retiring from
political life he has visited practically
ever corner of the globe, having only
missed the continent of Australia. His
last service with the government in
the diplomatic corps was in Siam,
which post he resigned about two
years ago. Since then he has resided
il: San Francisco, where he has been
engaged by the University Of Califor-
MIA compiling foreign data for the in
stitution.
Though out of active politics, Mr..
Carpenter keeps his ear close to the
ground on things political and express
ses his opinion that Hughes will sweep
the entire Pacific coast. He affirms
that Hiram johnson, governor of Cal
ifornia, staunch Progressive hereto
fore, and running mate of Roosevelt
in 1912, has taken regular leanings
and will jump on the regular band wa
gon when the time comes ripe. The
downfall Of the Progressives in Cali
fCrnia seems assured, though johnson
is still attempting to keep up his po-
litical fences. When vacancy occur
red in the office of lieutenant COVER
nor, he caused the appointment of
Congressman William Kent, Progress
sive, to the place. Johnson is flirting
with the senatorship from California
to succeed Works, also Progressive,
and in the event of his election would
leave, his machine in Kent's control.
California has been one of the strong
est Progressive strongholds, but with
the diversion of Johnson into regular
ranks and the elimination of Francis
J. Heney as prominent factor, Pro-
gressiveism has lost it's strongest
leaders.

t,AtJGHREN GIVES BOYS CHANCE
Takes Lads From Streets and Gives
Them Opportunity on His
Big Farm.

The St. Clod Journal-Press has eds
covered" Philanthropist James A.
Caughren. Sank Centreites have
known for years that "Jim" has pun
gled up many perfectly good dollars
for worthy causes. Many times his
gracious acts have not been heralded,
because Mr.. Caughren does not believe
in letting his left hand know what the
right is doing. The Journal-Press un-
covers the following on Jim:
"James A. Caughren, Sank Centres
wealthiest citizen, evidently believes
in using his money to good purpose
while ON earth. He owns big farm
near Sank Centre and recently he has
been looking up boys at the Centre
who are willing to work. The more
nischievous and restless boy, the
quicker he gets chance with Jolly
Jim. His theory, old as the GarGeT
Of Eden, is that the best way to make
a good man of an energetic boy is tt
set him to work in way that appeals
to the boy. He has selected about ter
of the bright boys of his home city
who otherwise might be loafing in the
streets, and set them at work on his
farm. He gives them good board, anf
good wages, and is not a very haze
task master. When a city boy, follow
ing the self binder, sets shocks of rye
heads down, Mr.. Caughren has COCO
laugh, and then shows the boy The
right way to do it.
"These boys will have a fine sum
mer, with just enough work to keel
them in good health and out of rli:s
chief, and with the habits of industr,
well sprouted. When they return t.
the city at the call of the school bell
they will have the proud satisfactio,
of having earned it. "Jim" Caughr;r
as he is known to host of warn
friends, in half a dozen states, is set
ting a good example to the gentleme,
farmers of the whole Northwest. l
all the fun loving and wide awak,
boys of the cities were given a chanc
at real work in the country, at GOO
wages, what a tremendous benefit !
would be to them and to the who'll
community. Many of these boys wan
tc be steadied by something wort
while to do, and they have the maxi /,
of the men who do things"

will have to be from the party's well

completed an investigation of the

here is that the prize will go to some

most of the, material that will go to
make up the population of such an in

the reformatory should be located in

WILSON ASKS WARMING NATIONS
 TO FORMULATE TERMS FOR PEACE
Action Comes as Surprise But Is Hoped to Form Basis of Possible Agreement
 To End War

Washington, Dec. 20.-Pres- ident Wilson has appealed to all the warning nations of Eu- rope to discuss terms of peace.
 Without actually proposing peace or offering mediation, the president has sent formal notes to the governments of all the warning nations suggesting that "an early occasion be sought to call out from the na- tions now at war such an avow- al of their respective views as to the terms upon which the war might be concluded and the arrangements which could be deemed satisfactory as a guaranty against it's renewal or the kindling of any similar con- flict in the future, as would make it possible frankly to compare them"
 Wholly without notice and entirely contrary to what ad- ministration officials have de- scribed as his course, the presi- dent last night dispatched the notes to all belligerents and to all the neutrals for their infor- nation.
 Summarized in the presi- dents own words as contained in the notes, his attitude is as follows:
 "The president is not propos- ing peace; he is not even offer ing mediation. He is merely proposing that soundings be taken in order that we may learn, the neutral nations with the belligerent how near the haven of peace may be for which all mankind longs with an intense and increasing long ing. He believes that the spirit in which he speaks and the ob- lects which he seeks will be understood by all concerned and he confidently hopes for a response which will bring a new light into the affairs of the world"

ARKANSAS GOOD ROADS
 ASSOCIATION TO MEET
Hope to Formulate Plans For Better Road Laws at Little
 Rock Meeting

It is announced that the an- nual meeting of the Arkansas Good Roads Association will be held in Little Rock on Janu- ary Is and 19.
 The County Judges Associa- tion will meet in Little Rock January IT, and the usual plan of holding the two meetings at about the same time has been followed so that all the county judges possible may be induc- ed to attend.
 In many counties this year the election commissioners fol- lowed the suggestion of Presi- dent Abercrombie and printed on the ballots a form whereby delegates to the convention might be appointed by the vot- CTS.
 Each mayor and Chamber of Commerce will be asked to name delegates as will the county judges. Last year be- tween 300 and 500 attended the meeting and a larger atten- dance is expected this year be- cause of the fact that the Leg islature will be. in session at the time and this brings men of affairs to Little Rock. An other important factor is the fact that more road construc- tion is expected in Arkansas during 1917 than ever before, which in turn is due to the es- tablished status of the Alexan- der road law, and to the avail ability of funds from the U. $. Government for road aid.
 The Arkansas Good Roads Association is responsible in a measure for the Alexander road law, as it was first sug- gested by active members of the association and endorsed by the association at it's 1915 meeting.
