Life is queer even at its best.
The lazy man always wants a rest;
The man who has lots Of money,
Is too serious to be real funny.

Must listen TO the noise Of the rub

RACE WITH TRAIN
AND ONE KILLED
PASSENGER JUMPS FROM AUTO
AT RAILWAY CROSSING.
KILLED ON WAY FROM HOSPITAL
Farmer Has Life Crushed Out by
,Tractor--ciear Lake Gets Car
load Of Fish--Economlst and
Socialists to CrinneII.

Fort Dodge, Oct. 11.-An automo.
bile race to beat train across a track
resulted in the death of one man and
the narrow escape from injury of
three others. All four, were from
Lohrville and Tony Mitchell, aged so,
is the man who was killed.
Mitchell jumped to his death, ac-
cording to the story received here by
local officials of the |. c.
The four men were driving south
and when within short distance of
the track they heard passenger train
from the west. Thinking they had
time to cross, the driver speeded up
the auto and they did succeed in
crossing without injury to the ma.
chine or to the three occupants who
remained in the car. Mitchell, how
ever, entreated the driver to wait for
the train to pass, and when the driver
increased the speed instead, Mitchell
became frightened and carried out his
intention to jump. The car was about
twenty-five feet from the track when
he leaped and the momentum carried
him to the rails. His skull was frac-
tured and his neck broken and death
was almost instantaneous. Whether
death resulted from being struck by
the train or by the fall has not been
determined.

that may have accompanied her.
British officials now believe ahat

New Problems Raised.
Long Branch, N. j., Oct. 11.--Secre
tary of State Lansing left for Wash.
ington this morning after long con-
ference with the President on the new
problems raised by the activities by
the German submarine, U-53. off
America.
The impression prevails here that
Germany acted entirely in accordance
with her promises to this government.
But the larger question concerning
the administration now is whether the
United States can tolerate further
submarine activity outside ports con-
stantly exposing danger to the lives
of American men, women and child
rem.
There is strong under current Of
feeling against any continuation Of
same which might be contemplated
by Germany. Scores of kilograms have
been received by the President from
business interests demanding sharp
reminder that Germany cannot vir-
tually blockade ports of the United
States.
Secretary Lansing would make no
statement whatever before leaving for
Washington. 1t is believed, however,
steps will be taken to get information
as to Germany's future intentions,
and whether Germany plans to make
a campaign against enemy ships on
this side of the Atlantic permanent
Politics supplant Sub.
Asbury Park, N. j., Oct. 11.-Poli-
tics supplanted the submarine in Of

Democratic leaders attach great i'm
portance to the Presidents trip. Be
cause the President felt he must not
hesitate on this trip in view OF the
recent international development, he
plans to make the trip on the fastest
train possible to and from Indianapo-

TO LEAD TO COMPLICATIONS
Holland Press Demands That Ger
many Be Made to Pay Full
Compensation.

Washington, Oct 11.-Sinking of
the Dutch steamer Bloomersdijk Sun
day by a German submarine off Nam
tucket shoals probably will result in
renewed complications between Hol-
land and Germany, in the opinion OF
international law experts here who
have analysed the circumstances OF
the case from a legal point of view.
One prominent diplomatic official
predicted tonight that Germany in
all probability would pay indemnity
to Holland for the destruction Of the
ship and cargo.
State department officials believe,
however, that there was no phase of
the case which calls for participation
by the United States in any contro-
versy developing between the two
governments as a result of the Incl
dent.
Dutch Press Indignant.
Amsterdam, via London, Oct. IL
The Dutch press is highly indignant
at the sinking of the Holland-Ameri-
ca line steamer Bloomersdijik, which,
it is declared was absolutely illegal
and contrary to maritime law.
I'VE ask with establishment, says
the News Van Den Dag what reason
the submarine commander could have
for torpedoing a neutral vessel with
neutral cargo for the neutral popu-
lation of Holland. There was no
possibility of a mistake, for the COM
mander of the submarine must have
been aware of the character OF the
vessel, and for that illegal act Ger
many must be made to pay full COM
pensation."
