A marvel of hattleships is the pre-

A New Use for the FLAG.

American flag on the seat Of his trOu-

elder inquired the reason for this UNI

Mrs. Marguerite Sauer of TOmpkins-
willie, Staten island, has offered her
house to the government for q Red
Cross hospital and herself as a nurse.
Mrs. Sauer came to Manhattan the
other day, and at the ferry entrance
at the Battery asked a policeman to
direct her to someone whom she could
offer her services and her property.
She told him that her husband had
volunteered in the navy, and she did
not feel like allowing herself to be out
done by him. Mrs. Sauer was referred
to Col. Jefferson r. Kane of the Amer
lean National Red Cross society and
she Immediately wrote q long letter to
him.
The house in which Mr.. and Mrs.
Sauer live and which she has offered
to convert into a hospital, has a so
foot front and Is nearly double that in
depth, and has grounds running back
to the lex street. Its rooms are
large, light and airy, and there Is a
large cupola on top resembling the up
per part of a lighthouse with large win
dows all around, and commanding a
view Of New York harbor. Mr.. and
Mrs. Sauer are both Germans and have
a twelve-year-old daughter living at
Dresden, Saxony.

paid fines in Justice Sponholz's
court this morning, as a result of

of the city and county. 1t is said that
there are in all 81 cases, tried and
pending, for violation of the automo-
bile regulations of city and state,
taken in charge Saturday night and
yesterday.
For some time there has been an
effort on the part of the police TO
cure the evils by moral suasion. No
attention was paid to this method OF
reform. apparently, and the peace of
ficers were compelled to take active
steps and use more drastic measures
to stop the abuses. The results OF
this raid. with a few more of like
nature. is expected to have a great
effect in exciting a more careful OBJ
servance of the regulations.

FATAL SPEEDING
JOHN CLINE KILLED, OTHERS
HURT In SPEEDER ACCIDENT
NEAR CHESTER.

John Cline is dead, George Thomp-
son lies in a hospital with fractured
skull and internal injuries, and Theo-
dore Moe, of Mitchell, was injured
about the head and has a fractured
wrist as a result of a collision of two
railroad speeders near Chester Satur-
day night, when the machine they
were riding after dark struck anotha
er like machine going in the opposite
direction. Four men occupied the
northbound speeder, but beyond SUI
perficial injuries they were not hurt.
The three men named above had
been hunting near Wentworth.
They wanted to get into Chester
ahead of a southbound freight, and
sped the machine up. proceeding
through the night without lights.
Several laborers from Wentworth
were at Chester and wished to reach
home before the same freight reached
Wentworth. They. too, were running
without lights. AT a point about two
miles north of Chester the two speed
ers came together in the dark, with
the results of one dead. one i'm a
precarious condition, and the last
named badly hurt.
The speeder occupied by the in
jured. men was lower than that of
the Lithuanian laborers. and their
speed crushed them against the other
car. The laborers. being higher than
the others, were projected straight
ahead over the top, and escaped with
only severe bruises and scratches.
Both the cars were going at a high
rate of speed, and were too close
when they became aware of each 9TH
ers proximity to even make a move
to jump.
DR.. Jordan, of Chester, was first
called. DR.. Westaby, of Madison,
was summoned, and drove over with
two nurses from the hospital. Later
Drs. Frudenfeld and lyman drove
over to assist i'm the work of dressing
the wounded.
John Cline only survived the shock
a few minutes. and did not regain
consciousness. f. l.. Peck was sum

derstood that he was a repair man

RILEY, KAN.

f. w. Lawrence, foreman of the
squad Of selected men who left Lake
county Saturday afternoon for Camp
Funston, Kan, rendered thanks to
the ladies of the Red Cross and to the

squad were gathered about il, with
the G. A. X. under the flag. DR..
Lowe, of the board announced that
the men were to receive their final
farewell, and introduced Mrs. Hold
ridge. She voiced the sentiment of
the community for the men going in
to the unknown to fight for the re-
public and democracy, and gave the
inadequate symbols of regard to the
men. Rev. j. E. Booth, of Ramona,
addressed them and the crowd brief
ly. Somebody proposed a collection
for the departing men, which was
generously responded to.
Mr.. Booth asserted hat history re-
peats itself, in that son of men who
fought for the preservation of the
union in the civil wal are going out
in this to fight for the glory of the
nation. OF the men of all nation
alities going in this contingent is one
who comes of that fighting spirit.

country, and one, an American now,
