CEN. FUNSTON
DIES IN TEXAS
Especial to Leader-Enterprise)


San Antonio, Tex, Feb. 20-The
body OF Major General Frederick
Funston. who died here suddenly last
night, will be taken to S2n Francisco
tonight for burial.
San Antonio, Tex, Feb. 19.-Gen
Frederick Funston, commander OF the
Southern department of the United
States army, died here tonight few
minutes after he had collapsed while
in local hotel, where he had gone
with a party of friends. Attending
physicians say the cause of death was
acute indigestion.
Gen. Funston had just finished
dinner and was playing with a small
child when he fell unconscious. He
was taken to room, but physicians
were unable to revive him.
Not until 1896. when the Cuban in
surrection was at its height. did Fred
Funston become known throughout
the United States as irst-class
fighting man, but his friends in Kan
sas-where he spent his early man
hood-long had so c1assed him.
As a student at the University Of
Kansas, when he weighed less than
100 pounds, he conquered 200-pound
bad man" who threatened him with
a razor. To add to the giants humi-
liation, Funston marched him through
the streets of Lawrence. Kans., at the
point of revolver, to a police sta
ton.
A few years later, while city editor
of a paper in Fort Smith. Ark, young
Funston stirred UP intense feeling
by attacking editorially the publica-
TONS own political party leaders dur
ing the absence of his editor-in-chief.
Many threats are said to have been
made against Funston and the news
paper property, but he remained ON
guard until his superior returned and
then turned over the plant unframed.
incidentally, Funston also resigned.
Along the Santa Fe railroad thew
still recall how Funston, as passen-
ger train conductor, threw a drunken
cowboy off train and later, when he
hurled a rock through a coach win
dow. pursued him several miles on
foot while the train waited.
First Experience in Cuba
Funston's first experience on the
firing line came in Cuba.}where he
commanded Gen. Gomed's artillery
with remarkable results. After en-
gaglng in twenty-tu battles and be-
ing wounded three times, he resign
ed his command because fifty gueril,
las who had aided the Spaniards were
executed against his wishes. Captured
by Spaniards ON his way to Havana.
he escaped death by swallowing let
ter to the president of Cuba which
would have proved his identity.
While a colonel Of the famous 10th
Kansas volunteer Infantry in the
Philippine war, Funston performed
teats of bravery that brought him the
title of brigadier-general. His CAP
ture of Aguinaldo and his fording of
the Rio Grande river at Columpit I'M
der fire featured his work.
Funston has been described by his
superiors as absolutely fearless. Ever
ready to plunge into danger, he car
ed little whether Ills force equaled
that of his opponent. One day. the
story goes. when it appeared certain
that Filipinos would destroy three
companies under Funston's command
zen. Harrison Gray Otis inquired of
the colonel how long he could hold
his position.
Until | am mustered outl' Fun
ston replied; and he made good bv
repulsing the Filipinos.

SOME STORAGE
BATTERY ADVICE

c. f. Coggins, local agent for the
Willard Storage Battery Company,
suggests the following pointers on
chare of the electrical system on
motor car:
"Every time you operate your self
starter or use your electric lights
while the engine is not running, a
certain amount of energy is taken
from your storage battery. This en-
ergy must be restored in some way
or other. For this purpose, modern
CO carries an electric generator,
which puts back into the battery the
current which has been taken out to
cperate the lights and starter.
"This generator must run at charg-
ing speed for several minutes in or
der to create the same amount OF
electrical energy that is consumed by
the electric starter in few seconds.
Therefore, considerable care should
Re exercised in starting your car, in
order not to let the motor turn over
and over fo ra long time before it
starts.
Ordinarily motor should start on
very few turns in warm weather,
and unless it does something is prob.
ably wrong with the gas or the ig.
r;tion. Be careful to see that you
have gasoline in the tank and always
set the gas and the spark properly
before trying to start. Release the
starter button as soon as the motor
begins to turn on it's own power, be-
cause as long as the starter button
is pressed down the starting motor
IS taking current from the battery.
"The generator should always be
Kept properly adjusted and clean
and this should be done by an ex-
pert. Otherwise, the amount of cur
rent delivered from the generate,
may be too small to keep the battery
charged to the proper point. If a
battey is constantly used in an un-
dercharged condition the process of
deterioration becomes more and more
rapid and may result in the battery
being ruined.
"With the free inspection service
offered by the Willard Service sta
tions and their willingness to make
suggestions for the proper care adr
use of the electrical equipment on 6
car, there is very little excuse fol
Eattery ignorance. The man who

turous, the reckless of habit and the

Liverpool, May 26.-While Loyalty

taking over virtually all vessels for
war purposes, Sir Owen Phillips.
chairman of the Royal Mail and other
steamship companies, in a speech at
9 meething of the Holt line said the
problems of the future must not be
lost sight of if the British mercan-
tile marine is to hold it's own here

;ial character of the service of the
British mercantile marine, whether in
peace or war, and what the govern
ments Of other countries-friendly or

chant navies," he said, "we trust our
government will be wide awake to
the new conditions likely to arise,
and will see to it that British ship
ulng shall not be unfairly handicapped
iE the fierce competition which will
onsue with the state aided merchant
fleets of our present enemies, Of neu-
trails, or even of our allies.
"The Intervention of state depart
nents in shipping affairs may be
desirable and necessary under the ab-
normal stress of war conditions, but
in my opinion the unique position OBJ
tanned by British shipping which has
teen of such incalculable aid to the
country throughout its course, was
due to the individual and unfettered
energy, enterprise and resourceful-
ness of our shipowners.
"There has been some talk lately
of the naturalization CT British ship-
ping. If such a policy were seri-
ously to be entertained there would
be grave danger of our losing oul
premier position in the shipping world

who wonders what has gone wrong
with it's officers, in the selection of the
only corrupt city in the ten counties

| By this, I mean our neighbor county

need Of help, and our great Develop
ment Association is working hard for
the betterment of conditions in our
famous Valley. Only few years ago
our little city of Warren, too, was deep
in the mire. How sensitive, we would
have felt had neighboring counties re-
buked us, because the liquor signs were
on our doors, and the kegs filled up our
alleys. Warren alone, did not put
ban Oh the saloon situation in Marshall
county. We had help, and now that
great victory was won, let us beyond
measure be of help to others. Come,
brother Beardmore, change your atti-
tude to more public spiritedness, let us
go hand in hand thousand strong, to
Red Lake Falls and I can assure, we
can be of help sometime Our neigh

done, so let us begin now. What would
be the use to call such an assembly to
Warren, Thief River Falls, or Crook
ston, or any other place, where no
valuable results are to be accomplish
ed. Therefore in my opinion, 1 say
that Red Lake Falls, is greatly in need
of the help of the Red River Valley
development Association. The time is
coming when she, too, may have to
close her saloon doors and lower her
liquor signs, that sway in our pure air,
but she will never do it alone. We,
neighboring countless must help, and in
time to come, she too, will want to
