Washington.-Sec Garrison re
signed because President Wilson
would not "irrevocably" support the
continental army plan. and because he
opposes the Administrations program
Of setting a definite time for Philip
pine independence.
President Wilson accepted the
resignation and has not selected a sue
cessor. The President himself prob
ably will take personal charge of the
Administrations national defense
plans in Congress.
Assistant Secretary Breckenridge
also resigned as a mark of loyalty to
his chief, whose views he shared. The

Garrison lnslstent On Plan.
1t is known that one of Secretary
Garrison's principal reasons for his
conviction that only a Federal CONT.
tental army, instead Of a reorganized
National Guard, could be the main mill.
tary dependence of the nation was his
belief that some day the United States
may be called upon to defend the
Monroe Doctrine, and in that event ne
foresaw that the National Guard might
not be available of use outside of the
United States before a declaration Of
war.
Upon the contention, on the one
hand, that the continental army or
ultimately universal service was the
nations only reliance, and the position
on the other that no one plan could
be enforced upon Congress. President
Wilson and his Secretary of War
parted official company.
Third To Leave Cabinet.
Mr.. Garrison is the third member of
President Wilson's Cabinet to resign.
The first, Justice McReynolds, re-
signed as Acknowledgement to accept

duct Of the submarine warfare con.
troversy with Germany.

New Champion Arrives

New champions in the Morris wo-
mems bowling world are arriving so
fast and the new high scores are
changing so rapidly that there is con-
siderable confusion with the record
keepers. Last week Mrs. Chris.
Gaffney held the honors. This week
it is Mrs. R. E. McCabe. Mrs. w.
E. Frame would have been the winner
Tuesday afternoon but Mrs. McCabe
had her best ball reserved for the last
throw and won the honors with a
118 score. All the women who have
adopted bowling are gaining in
skill.
At the contest Tuesday afternoon
Mrs McCabe was first with 11S;
Mrs. Frame second with 116, and
Mrs. Cherry was third with Ill.
Mrs. Cherry succeeded in winning a
three-pound box of chocolates offered

First-born Dies

S. A. Siverts, Jr., returned from
Minneapolis Wednesday morning to
which place he was called Monday by
a message announcing the birth of a
son. Death followed a few moments
after the arrival of the child and the
funeral was held Tuesday morning.
Mrs. Siverts, who has been staying
at the home of her parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. John Coan, in Minneapolis be-
came the mother of an eight and a
half pound baby boy Monday morning
and the glad news caused the father
to hasten to her side. Joy was turned
to grief almost Immediately. A pull
motor was used in an effort to restore
respiration but the child died shortly
after its birth. Mother and father
are naturally grief stricken. The child
is the first birth in the family and its
death is blow hard to bear. Mr..
and Mrs. Siverts have the sympathy
of their friends in Morris.

Locates at Rockford

New Rockford, N. D., an enter
prising little village which is making
an aggressive fight for the honor of
becoming the state capitol, has Sc
cured former we'll known and hust-
ling Morris land man as a citizen.
This week Mr.. and Mrs. James E..
Carlson packed their household goods
at Minneapolis and will arrive at New
Rockford today with view of making
their permanent home there.
2 Mr.. Carlson recently made an ex-
tended trip through North Dakota
seeking location for land business.
He was favorably impressed with New
Rockford and while there secured
several blocks of city property.
A vote of the question of remov-
ing the state capitol from Bismarck
will be- taken soon. The heavy
population of the state is in the east
and northern tier of counties, said
to be Overwhelmingly in favor of
New Rockford which is centrally
located on two cross-line railroads.
Considerable money is being spent by
those in favor of and against the
removal and the excitement is steadily
growing.

Nix on Law Breaking

The John Gund Brewing Co. and
other liquors interests of the state are
making f1attering offers to enlist the
aid of the Morris Tribune in selling
their wares in Stevens county. The
advertising manager of the Tribune is
scratching has head today because
yesterday he turned down an advertis
ing contract amounting to $1l8. 80.
He feels the principles and honor of
the paper have been preserved and
has decided all offers of this kind
will go into the Office waste basket.
The policy of the Tribune is and
always will be to exclude objection
able and fake advertising from its
columns. Liquor sales are illegal in
Morris and Stevens county. Adver-
tising liquor bargains is part of the
selling scheme and consequently a
part of law violations. $118.9O would
come in handy in paying off current
expense accounts but the Tribune feels
the time has not yet arrived when the
paper must go out and get the money
by any such reprehensible methods as
boosting the liquor combine.

BANKERS TO MEET
IN MORRIS MAY II
Special Car from Winona will
Bring Many Prominent Fin
ancial Heads to Morris

The Seventh District Bankers AS
sociation will hold its next annual
meeting in Morris and the sessions
will be held here Thurs lay, May 11th.
This date was decided upon last week
and the local bankers have been mott
field. 1t is expected something like
two hundred delegates will be here to
participate in the morning, afternoon
and evening sessions, and to enjoy the
banquet which the three Morris bank
ing houses will provide.
At the last meeting held at Will
mar a year ago Morris was selected
for the next meeting place. No date
was set at the time but this was left
with a committee which selected the
May 18th date. Morris bankers are
ready for the visitors and will provide
a suitable program, entertainment
features and accommodations.
Cashier Putnam at the Morris Ma
tional Bank has received word that a
special car from Winona, bringing
many prominent bankers from southern
Minnesota and the Twin Cities, will
arrive in Morris to attend the meet
ing. All are members of the state
bankers association and the object of
their coming is to get acquainted with
the country bankers with whom they
do a daily business. The bankers of
the state hold meetings once a year
and for further convenience have
divided themselves into district associ-
ations, each association representing
a congressional district, and each dis
trict association holding their get
together, meetings on the side as
often as possible. At these sessions
banking is not the only subject
discussed. Live stock, farming,
good roads and many other subjects,
except politics, are reviewed. There
are 10 banks represented in the
Seventh District Association and all
have been invited to send delegate
to Morris.
Just where the meetings will be
held has not been decided today.

FANS ARE HAPPY;
;. MONEY COMING IN
Base Ball Men Hold Meeting
Sunday and Organize for
Season is Manager

Base ball enthusiasts in Morris
held their first meeting last Sunday
when it was decided to put a good
team in the field this year. The meet
ing was held at the Homewood bowling
alleys and was we'll attended. J. II.
Boyd was unanimously elected man
ager and N. Vinje was chosen secret
ary and treasurer. Mr.. Vinje is a
new star in the base ball armament
and his interest and cooperation is
hailed with delight. 81
Plans for the coming season were
discussed and it was decided to leave
the matter of selecting players to
Manager Boyd and when team is re-
cruited a captain will be selected and
practice games commenced. There
is plenty of good material available
in the city and it is not thought neces-
sary to engage any outside talent.
Many of the boys who played last year
are still here and beside them are
many promising youngsters who will
be given chance to demonstrate their
prowess on the diamond. The matter
of pitchers will be the hardest obstacle
to overcome but Manager Boyd has
plans and does not fear any weak
ness in the hurling staff. Catcher
Munlux was injured last fall but
may be in fit condition when the
season opens. He is a good man
and is popular with every base ball
lover in Morris.
Mr.. Vinje has never in his life
played ball but he is deeply interest
ed in the game. He will assist in
looking after the financial end. This
week he began gathering funds and
yesterday has succeeded in adding
something like $500 to the treasury
1t is hoped to have fund of several
hundred dollars more and the way the
fans are responding this seems an
early accomplishment. Quite little
outlay will be necessary to secure
equipment, improve the diamond and
meet expenses which, at the beginning
of the season, will be heavy.
They boys made good record last
season which ended about even finan-
cially. 1t was the first time for many
years that a team had finished g
season in Morris without being "ir
a hole. - Very little friction among
the players was manifested and the
games were pulled off with a smooth.
ness which pleased the spectators.
1t is hoped an even better showing
will be made this year.

HOUSE IS FLOODED
WHEN PIPES BURST
Home of Chas. O'ConneIl Inun-
dated while Family Spend a
Week in Cities

Several hundred dollars worth of
home furnishings were wrecked at the
Chas. O'Connell residence on Fifth
street last week when the water pipes
in the bath room burst and flooded the
house. Mr.. and Mrs. O'Connell. were
not at home and the condition of
affairs was not discovered till their
arrival from Minneapolis Saturday
night.
Mr.. and Mrs. O'Connell left for
the cities to spend a week with re-
latives and friends when the public
schools closed. They locked the
house and took the key with them
The weather was pleasant and Mr.
O'Cnnnell forgot to shut off the wat.
er. 1t is believed that the cold spell
which came week ago Monday caused
the pipes to freeze. The top was
lifted off the lavatory bowl and the
result was an inundation. All the
carpets were ruined and many of the
best pieces of furniture are beyond
repair.
The house is being cleaned up this
week and the damages repaired. Mr..
and Mrs. O'Connell are guests at the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. G. S. TAFT
while the work is in progress. The
extent of the loss has not been ascer-
tained for new items are discovered
and added to the list every day.
