today by officers of the naval intelligence
bureau charged with endangering lives

Object Is Suspected
Federal authorities said they suspected
that the defendants had an object in fail
ing to obey orders. thus exposing their
ship to submarine dangers.
According to testimony before Unified
States Commissioner Hayes johnson was
stationed in the crows nest aloft on a
one-hour watch. but instead OF watchin.
for periscopes and torpedoes he was
wrapped in a pair of warm blankets AMI
was sound asleep when the watch officer
discovered him.
Robinson, 1t was testified, was ordered
to close a door through which a light
could be seen when the vessel was enter
ing the submarine zone and failed to car
ry out his orders. He was also charged
with leaving lights burning so that the
rays were visible through port holes.
Both defendants denied the charges, but
the commissioner after listening to the
government evidence as produced through
officers Of the liner held both under s5ol
bail TO await the action of the federal
grand jury.

AGED MAN AND YOUNG
BOY HELD UP ON TRAIN
4. w. w. Prove More Bold Than Ever
Before in History of State in
Transient Districts.

Devils Lake, N. D., Sept. 25.-En-,
couraged by promises of protection,
the Nv W. are proving more bold
than ever before in the history Of the
state. Murder, highway robbery,
rapine, incendiarism. gambling. and
are running riot in the
districts infested by transients. Sher-
IN Olson's last call came al midnight
from al Harbor, where. upon his
an ~18-year-old boy who stated that
after finishing their work at Leeds
they boarded a train for Devils
Lake and that en- route two men n
tered7the car, held them up at the.
pointsgof. a gun Int relived them of
$50 and s. respectively. AS the train
slowed down at Grand Harbor, the
robbers uncermoniously kicked their
victims from the car. Then, as the
old man appeared to be s~crutinizing
the bandits more closely than they
the train Inc felled him with ALLOW
from the butt end of a heavy auto
matte. The two were then chased
through. q barb-wire fence and out in
to q wheat field wsere they were COM
manded.to remain until. the train
pulled out. The ! same night two
young men coming into Devils Lake
on a train from the east were held up
IN a cattle a and relieved of their
Yaluables after they had been kicked
into lnsensibility. The city and coun-
tryside is full of floating laborers. who
are unusually cocky.t d~isregarding any
authority which is not backed up with
ia show of force. The situation is be-
coming very grave, and the fact that
the. officers hands are tied to a large
extent makes 1t the more serious. .
