River Gives Up Victims Bodies

Bismarck, April 9.-Impaled on a
barb wire fence, the bodies of Nat
Prentice, A. A. Won Hagen and Harry
BarWind, who were drowned Sunday
morning while attempting to ford the
Missouri, were found close together at
9 o'clock this morning by T. Kennedy,
Morton county coroner, and Charles
Edquist, Mandan city commissioner.
The bodies of E. j. Massey and John
A. Vale were recovered at noon II feet
from where the other bodies were
found.
The work of recovering the bodies
was lessened because of large fall in
the water. The river early this morn
ing was at stage of % feet six inches.
while tonight it is 16 feet and six
inches, and still falling.
The bodies were taken to Mandan,
where an inquest was held this AFTER
noon, at which the jury returned
verdict that the droWnings were the
result of an accident.
The funeral of Massey will be held
at Mandan and the funeral of Barwind
will be held at Milwaukee. The funeral
OF three other victims will be held nj
Bismarck. 1t will be impossible to
bring the bodies to Bismarck until the
railroad bed, which has been washed
out, is repaired. A large crew Of men
are repairing the roadbed and trains
may operate late tomorrow.
M. S. Lang, the sole survivor of the
Easter tragedy, today told how the &C.
cldent occurred. 1--WE were going to
turn around because we saw that the
wind was coming up strong and that
we could not make it," he said. "As
we were turning around the bow of
the boat ran into wire fence and tip
ped us all out. That was the last l
saw OF the men to recognize them"
The case Of Vale is especially pa
thetlc. His four-months-old daughter
was baptized yesterday and he was
hurrylng home to attend the baptism,
which took place at 1890, about the
same time as the accident occurred.
Over so travelling men aided in the
recovery of the bodies today.

Congress May ''Scrap''
Over Raising Of Army

Washington, April 9. - President
Wilson exerted his personal influence
today in an effort to overcome oppo-
sition in congress to the administra-
ton army plans based on the draft
system. Summoning Chairman Dent
of the house military committee, now
considering the bill, to the White
House, the president made it clear that
he believes the safety Of the nation
hangs on the action of congress in this
regard.
In the war address Mr.. Wilson told
congress that in his judgment tue
United States must face her enemy
with a certain weapon in the form of
an army raised by application of the
principle of universal liability for
military service as a duty of citizen
ship. Supplementing that he issued
a statement approving in every de-
tail the departmental plans which
have the unanimous approval of the
army general staff.
In his action today, however, the
president recognized the fact that
there may develop strong feeling in
congress in favor of adhering to the
old volunteer system and sought to
bring home to Mr. Dent, one of those
who holds that view, the lessons to
be drawn from the great war which
all point, military advisers of the
government declare, to the absolute
necessity of summoning men to the
cOIOrs by draft.
A compromise plan may be offered
by opponents of compulsory service.
A sentiment for such a move was evil
dent in Mr.. Dents committee before
which Secretary Baker and the mill
tary chiefs of the war department as
sembled during the day to support the
administrations policy. There was
no indication, however, that com.
promise would be accepted by the
president.
During a senate debate on con-
scription, Senator Kirby offered an
amendment which would authorize
the president to call volunteers in
lots of half a million each. The
amendment is subject to a point of or
der and probably will be disposed of
that way without debate. ~
AS result of Chairman Dents at.
titude, it is possible that some other
member of the house committee will
present the. administration bill if it
is reported, as officials hope it will
be, substantially in the form in which
it was drawn. Representative Kahn,
ranking republican member, has been
a consistent advocate of universal
military training and service for
years. While refusing to discuss his
conference with the president. Mr..
Dent admitted that no conclusion was
reached.
There is no chance on earth of the
bill coming out Of the committee in
any form within week at the least"
he said. 1.-THE main controversy is
over the question of conscription.'
There is no question, however, on
the part of any one as to giving the
president all the men and money
needed to carry on the war. The only
controversy is as to the means OF
doing so.
