Glenn Hanson States That Sun Was
Shining; Couldn't See.
Glenn Hanson of Lake Crystal
driving a Ford automobile on West
Fourth street yesterday afternoon
about $50 o'clock, met and ran into
a street car that was coming from
the park. Frank Barth was the mo-

Mr.. Hanson states that the sun was
shining in his face, as he drove out
from his path to avoid a sprinkler,
and did not see the street car until
it was too late to avoid a collision.
The auto was smashed badly and has
been left for repairs at the Ford ga
rage. The fender of the street car
was somewhat damaged. He says
the auto at the time was running at
about twenty-five miles an hour.

see the auto coming, she said, and
knew nothing of it until it struck her.
She said front wheel of the car
passed over her left side.
Mr.. Sheldon stated this morning
that he did not think he was going
over eight miles an hour and per-
haps not that. He said the woman
stepped out in front of his car fro

about 3 feet in front of his car as she
stepped out before it. 1t was too late
then to stop the car in time to avoid
striking her, though he instantly

She did not seem to hear the sound
of the horn. Her feet slipped as the
car struck her and she went under

New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1917-06-17

The first time saw him was soon after
the primary delirium Of freedom had sub
sided. He apologized for keeping me
waiting. 81 am sorry that you should
have to wait" he said, "but ! have had
to see delegation of soldiers from the
front. They came to me straight from
the trenches they look upon me as sort
Of father confessor."
Here was the key to the whole situa-
ton. In Kerensky you have a man who
not only commands the ear and the heart
Of the people, but also the love and the
confidence of the soldiery.
To look at the man you would imagine
him to be a physical wreck. His great
eyes blaze out of the setting Of his sunken,
pallid checks; he lives on his fervor and
on his nerves, collapsing like wet rag
after every great speech he makes.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1917-06-17

1t was as Secretary of State under Pres
ident Roosevelt that Mr.. Root won inter-
national fame as a shrewd and progress
i've promoter Of international comfy, for
while his enemies were decrying his for
eien relations as those Of dollar diplo-
macy" the results of his South American
tour were accepted generally as Of great
value.
Elihu Root is one of the greatest figures
in American life who has not reached the
Presidency. As Secretary of War under
Mckinley, ne helped to reconstruct Porto
Rico, the Philippines and Cuba. Later, as
Senator for New York, he endeared him
self still further TO the conservatives, but
never ceased to be a national influence, now
controlling Republican conventions and
now occupying the field as Presidential
possibility.
As a lawyer he is looked upon by his
profession as past master, and enormous
fees are earned by him in regular prac-
tice as counsel. His enemies are fond Of
recalling that ne was the attorney for the
notorious Tweed ring and was skilled in
showing corporations and politicians chow
. to avoid conflict with penalties"
Only recently he was the leader of the
State Constitutional Convention, chosen to
draft a new constitution for New York.
The rather humiliatng defeat of this con-
stitutional programme has led his critics
now to ask how he can expect to frame an
acceptable constitution for the peasants Of
Russia.
But it is not as practising lawyer nor
yet as a Trainer of constitutions that Elihu
Root arrives in Petrograd, but rather as
the diplomat of long experience, as the
shrewd, calm counsel Of prudence and the
long-headed constructor Of international
relations.
Mr.. Root was born in 1S45, at Clinton,
n. Y. After a course in the University of
New York, he was admitted to the bar in
1867. He succeeded General Alger as Sec
rotary Of War in 1899, and later accepted
the portfolio Of Secretary Of State under
Roosevelt, succeeding John Hay.

An Inverted Instance
From The Erening Mail
MONDAY, JUNE ii. 1917
Neutral Tonnage Sunk

In the weekly british reports OF subma-
rine sinkings we of course hear nothing OF
neutral tonnage sunk while sailing to or
from England through the prescribed zone.
These neutral sinkings, especially of Sean
dinavian tonnage, are very large. The
Scandinavians recognize the danger Of
sailing to or from the British Isles. They
expose themselves to destruction not be-
cause they want to do so, but because they
are obliged to do so.
Norway, Sweden and Denmark have no
coal They have always been dependent
upon England. To-day, when a Scandi-
navian ship goes to England to get coal,
she is required to make trip out through
the danger zone on British business before
she can load coal and carry it back home.
That extra trip is the price which Great
Britain demands for her coal; incidentally,
the trip exposes the neutral steamer to
two extra chances to be torpedoed.
The coal is demanded not only for Scan
dinavian industries and power plants, but
also by the large Scandinavian merchant
marine. Great Britain has forbidden these
ships to carry German bunker coal, which
is on the British absolute contraband list.
A steamer that uses it to-day is, by present
British prize law, subject to confscation
if apprehended now or on any subsequent
voyage.
Just another instance Of the value to
Great Britain of her coal. her coaling sta
tons and her control of the coal trade of
the world

THERE is no more powerful organiza-

Workmen's and Soldiers Deputies. 1t
is the only body that absolutely controls
the confidence of the masses, and Is the
only stable governmental institution pro-
duced by the revolution. The Petrograd
council operates through an extensive net
work of local councils existing throughout
the country and in the army. AT the head
of this gigantic system stands n. D.

"The London Daily Chronicle prints a
sketch and an interview with this remark
able man. Russian Of Georgian extrac-
ton. He is a highly educated lawyer, pacl-
fist. an internationalist, a passionate speak
er and a democrat of democrats. Next to
Kerensky, Tscheidze is the most popular
leader in Russia. What he has to say
about the aims of the New Russia will be
read with especial interest, as the Allies
and Russia have not yet come to an under
standing on the mo anneXations and no
