TO Be PLAT
TED FOR CEMETERY
Graceland Cemetery. Must Have
More Ground-West Side Road
Will Be Plated.

The street or roadway along tbs
west side of Graceland cemetery will
be plated for cemetery purposes, in
accordance with ordinance No. 422,
presented at last nights council
meeting. The city manager was d.
rected to cause the ground occupied
by said roadway to be plated for
this purpose. The street. is thirty
three feet wide and the city owns it..
1t was a part of the old Shipp farm,
as was all of the west half of the
cemetery. 1t has never been used
as a roadway and the plotting of it
will afford Graceland cemetery more
ground. That the cemetery must be
made larger has been known for
some time, and the matter of pur-
chasing adjoining land is occupying
the attention of the council. The
Parker forty acres which joins the
cemetery on the west is the tract
they have under consideration. AL
though something must be done soon
toward charging the cemetery, moth
ing other than taking action about
the plotting of the west roadway
was taken up last night.
The reports of the treasurer, man
ager and clerk were accepted and
placed on file. Bills to the amount
of $5,744.4S were allowed and or
dered paid. The report of the Ken
dali Young library estate from Jan.
l, 1917, to July 1, 1917, was receiv-
ed and the city clerk ordered to
check it up. This report included
the expenditures on the library and
all other properties owned and op-
Grated by the Kendall Young estate
"a report which is required every
six months.

DRUNKEN FARMER
KILLED BY TRAIN
Body Fearfully Mangled on Rock
Island Near Plymouth.

Mason City. Aug. Frank De-
dina, Plymouth farmer, was instant
ly killed by the northbound Rock
Island passenger train near Ply
mouth Junction Sunday morning.
The body was fearfully mangled.
Dedina had apparently come down
from Minnesota on the midnight
train with suitcase full of liquor,
fragments of which were found
about his body. 1t is thought he
went to sleep while making his way
down the track toward his home.
Trainmen say they saw the suit
case lying upon the track as they
rounded the curve, but were unable
to stop in time. They took the body
to Northwood, where Sheriff Marsh
and Coroner Long decided that no
inquest was necessary.
The Dedina family are old resi-
dents of the county and were once
very wealthy.

Ran Into Big Cadillac.

The big new Cadillac car belong
ing to Geo. E. Younkee and driven
by Mrs. Younkee, was considerably
damaged Saturday night when e. A.
Riley, farmer living west of town,
driving his Ford, collided with the
Cadillac when it was brought to a
standstill in front of the Younkee
home on Division street.
Both cars were being driven east
on this street when Mrs. Younkee
stopped her car at her home to
alight. 1t is presumed that Mr..
Riley did not see her stop, and, in
stead Of turning out, he bumped di-
rectly into the rear of the big car,
damaging fender, rear bumper and
denting the back of the machine.
The Ford escaped unscathed, and
after the jar started on its way as
merrily as before.

THE LAW SAYS THE :
SUPERVISORS MUST.
The Matter of Employing Highway
Patrolmen Is Not Left to
Boards Judgment.

Des Moines, Aug. 9-Boards of SUI
pervisors who ignore the road patrol
law passed by the last general as
sembly and becoming operative July
4, and who fail to put on patrolmen
as required by this law, face prose-,
cution for neglect Of duty.
Attorney General Havner is now
mailing letters to county attorneys
over the state asking them to bring
this law to the attention of the SUI
pervisors If they fail to provide
the patrolmen they are liable to
prosecution.
When this law was passed by the
last legislature it was recognized
that many boards of supervisors
would not favor it, and therefore it.
was so framed as to make it manda-
tory on the boards to employ these
patrolmen. Road reactionaries in
both branches of the legislature, rec
ognizing that the law in some form
was bound to pass, tried to get. It
changed making it optional with the
supervisors to employ these patrel-
men. The good roads men, however,
were too strong for the reactionar-
les and the original bill as presented
by Senator Foster of Guthrie county
was passed without change. 1t went
through the senate, with As votes
for it and one against, and through
the house with vote of 60 to .26.
Lieutenant Governor Moore and
others, in commenting on the work
of the legislature near the close of
the session, cited the Foster road
patrol law as one of the real con-
structive pieces of legislation enacted
during the session.
Many supervisors are making the
claim that the law, as they under
stand it, does not go into effect un-
til Jan. 1. However, the attorney
generals letter, urging county at
torneys to take this matter up with
the boards, while not passing on.
this point, declares that the patrol
men should be appointed at once.

TO ORGANIZE A CHAMBER
Of COMMERCE HERE

in this line of work in various cities
throughout the United States and
recently organized such league at
Mason City.
This noon a luncheon was served
at Wilson's hall to about fifty rep
resentative citizens, and after the re-
past, Mr.. Pyle introduced Mr.. Nc
Laughlin, who in some brief re-
marks outlined his plans and the
kind of organization he is going to
organize in Webster City. He
thinks the membership should num-
Der at least 300 and feels confident
that, with the cooperation of the
citizens Of the town, he can readily
secure that number of members.
Next Tuesday forenoon a number Of
soliciting committees will start out
soliciting members and the work will
be completed in three days, the COM
mittees devoting two hours to each
day.
That Webster City should have an
organization Of this kind is gener-
ally conceded, and the plans present.
ed by Mr.. Mclaughlin seem adequate
and feasible. It is now up to the
citizens to respond promptly and
enthusiastically and do their bit
toward the formation of chamber
Of commerce in this city that will be
a credit to the town.

SUBMARINE |NTELL|-
GENCE OFFICE FOUND

Stockholm, July 20.-Letter to the
IFreemanTribune from Arthur G
Mann, U. P. Correspondent: Allied
secret service and intelligence Off
GERS, with the cooperation of the po-
lice of tie Scandinavian countries,
have recently succeeded in unearth-
ing and dispensing large and well
organized German submarine intelli-
gence Office headquarters in Gothen-
burg, Sweden.
In their Investigations the Off
GERS discovered naval intelligence
map of the waters surrounding the
British Isles and the North Sea. The
water area on the map was divided
into small squares, each one num-
bered. An elaborate code was also
found for use in conjunction with
this map.
Messages based on this code, al
though apparently reading like pri-
vate mercantile kilograms and cable
grams, could in reality be deciphered
into accurate descriptions of allied
warships or of belligerent or neutral
merchantmen.
From the spy headquarters in
Gothenburg. agents were sent to
Scandinavian ports and attempts
were made, whether successful or
not, to get them into England. These
agents were supplied with the code
and map mentioned and were report
ing to headquarters on the sailings
of merchantmen. 1t is supposed that
in some way the headquarters in
Gothenburg communicated the infor-
nation to German submarines at
sea, probably by wireless stations
