CENTENNIAL. OB8ERVANCE
OF FoUNDE1'0 BIRTHDAY
Swedish Lutheran Churches Common
crate Life Work Of DR.. Hasselquist.

The Swedish Lutheran churches of
America last week in various ways OBJ
served the one hundredth anniversary
of the birth of DR.. Tuve n. Hasselquist,
one of the founders of the American
church. DR.. Hasselquist was born Mar.
2, 1916, at Onsby, Scania, was ordained
at Lund, Sweden, in 1899. He died at
Rock Island, ILL.,. Feb. 4, 1891. The fol-
lowing little sketch from the Lutheran
Observer may have general interest
as picturing conditions at denomina-
tional college in this country fifty years
ago. The editors birthplace is located
but short distance from "Asagard."
DIR. T. N. Hasselquist can rightly be
called the patriarch Of the Augustana
Synod. He was the father in the college,
the father in the seminary, the father
in the Synod, the father in the press, the
father in his home, the father in his
local church. Every one bore supreme
reverence for him when he came into
the room, when one met him on the
street, when one saw him in the pulpit,
or at the teachers desk. He preached,
and taught and wrote equally we'll and
with the greatest ease.
1.-The writer had the privilege of ROOM
ing in his house, Asagard, in Paxton, for
more than one year and was at times
invited to his table. The greatest fru-
gality prevailed, yet the very fact that
a young student was observed enough
to be invited to his table was in itself
a treat. The conversation was easy on
all kinds of topics; he always manifest
ed the greatest interest in every sub
ject discussed. He owned some 40 acres
of land adjoining the college, what IS
now the new beautiful cemetery of Pax

Strike at Breckenridge.

A real railroad strike but one with
out any serious Inconvenience to the
company or public has been on in this
city the past week. The strikers are
some twenty-five or three Great North
ern car repairers and inspectors. A
local of the carmen's union was or
ganized here last week, news of which
reached the ears of St. Paul officials.
The result was that about dozen of
the leaders among the carmen here,
some of them among the oldest in
point of service, were discharged Fri
day morning. All but four of the re-
mainder of the crew struck in SYM
pathy. Work on the repair track was
tied up for the few days but no trains
were delayed much. Monday evening
a dozen strike breakers arrived from
the cities.
So far all of the strikers have re-
NAMED loyal to each other and their
organization. Local officials say that
the organization will not be recognize
ed, however, and some of the striking
men will not be taken back under any
circumstances. - Breckenridge Tele-

BIRRELL WITNESS
German Promises at Bottom of
Irish Revolt.
Thought Non-Interference Was
Safest Policy.

London, May 2O.-Augustine Birren,
who resigned as chief secretary for
Ireland after the Sim Fein revolt, ap-
peared today as a witness before the
royal commission which is conducting
an inquiry into the Irish rebellion. His
presence aroused keen interest in view
of the dramatic testimony given by Sir
Matthew Nathan, former undersecre-
tary for Ireland, at yesterdays hear
ing.
Mr.. BirreH said:
IF the home rule bill had not been
placed on the statute books there
would have been a great explosion of
rage and disappointment both in Ire
land and in the United States, which,
when war came, would have assumed
alarming proportions. The events in
Ulster and the gun running at Larne
by the Obstetrics in 1914 undoubtedly
had great effect on the disloyalists
elsewhere.

ireland has preserved an unbrok-
en- front at the outbreak of the war
| through the patriotism of John Red
mond,'' Mr.. Birrell continued, but
there were many who did not agree
with his attitude. 1t was impossible
to over estimate the effect which the
advent of the Ulster leader, Sir Ed
ward Carson, to the cabinet had eX-
ercised upon the minds of the people
| of Ireland. If Mr.. Redmond had &C
cepted the office in the same cabinet
he would not have remained leader of
| the Irish party. Promises of German
assistance were at the bottom of the
outbI eak.
Answering Baron Hardinge, Mr..
Birrell said:
''Sinn Feinism has spread all over
the place. I realized for two years
certainly that there was a dangerous
| movement in Ireland, but, after con-
| sultation with the various Irish lead
| ers, 7 came to the conclusion that a
policy of non-intervention was the SAT-
est.
1.-THE state of feeling varied" Mr.
Birrell added. 'If a priest was an
anti-Sinn Feiner. the Sim Feinisnl
died out. but if the priest was in ia
vor of it, the movement was promot-
ed. But in Dublin it was very differ
ent. 1 always felt that I was very
1 ignorant of what was going on in the
cellars of Dublin, and l was exceeding
ly nervous about that"

MILITIA PUT ON SHOW
New York Guards Put on Military

New York, May 20.-More than
thousand members of the New York
National guard went into camp today
at the Sheepshead Bay speedway in
preparation for the opening this after
noon of a military, naval and aviation
tournament said to be the first of its
kind to be held in this country.
The tournament will continue for a
week and the profits derived from it
will be applied to promote the cause
of national defense.
On Sunday the national guard

Accessories Overtax Batteries.
When a motor car manufacturer
builds a car, he puts in it starting
and lighting system to suit the rest
of the car. Then he gets battery
with a sufficient capacity to take care
of that electrical system
AS reported by Cleveland Storage
Battery, some owners tax their bat
teries beyond the limit by adding
horns, lights and electrical accessories.
Then they wonder why they haven
enough current to give them satisfac-
tory results. Others are not satisfied
with the lamps furnished, and buy
larger lamps that use more current.

The result is the generator can't sup
ply enough current to keep the bat
terry charged, because the discharge
is too rapid.
Method to Recover Stolen Cars.
The police departments of every
large city are about the only organi-
cations that have any idea of how
many automobiles are stolen in a
year. There stands five hundred or
five thousand of convertible wealth,
all ready to be moved to a point where
it can be turned into cash. The man
with perverted ideas of property rights
so reasons, and as a result the loss to
motor owners has been enormous.
