ATTEMPTS TO
GET INSURANCE
Local Boy Killed-Guardian
Unable to be Bene-
fciary.

Every soldiers family should be
well informed with regard to the war
risk insurance law and other legisla-
ton or regulations for the benefit Of
soldiers and their relatives, in order
to avoid the many disputes and mis-
understandings which are already be-
ginning to arise, as will be seen from
a peculiar case which has attracted
attention by the recent death of a To-
cal boy. An insurance policy of ST.
man, and it looks as though it may
not be paid.
The soldiers parents died when he
was 5 years old. A guardian was APP
pointed for him and although he was
taken into the home and took the
guardians name he was not legally
adopted. Unless legal adoption takes
place no insurance "a go to the
guardian. In this case the soldier
had made his home with the guard
ian for 16 years.
The insurance was made out to the
guardians wife, an aunt Of the SOL
der but she has received word to the
effect that because there vas no legal
adoption she is not the beneficiary.
Insurance may be collected if the
beneficiary is related to the deceased
soldier in the following manner:
Wife, T, husband, child, grandchild,
brother, sister,, stepbrother, ,stepsis-
ter. adopted brother, adopted sister,
parent, grandparent, and stepparent
of the insured or parent, grandpar-
ent, stepparent of the insured's wife
or husband.

Declares His Name Was
Sent in by Governor at
Request of Crowder.

J.iF. T.. O'Connor, a local attor-
ney. is awaiting q call from the war
department for service in the office
Of h judge advocate at Washing
ton, he declared today in comment
ing upon a message received by The
Herald. According to reliable in
formation The Herald has received,
commission in the judge advocates
department, and his application is
backed up by a strong recommends
ton from Governor Lynn j. Frazier.
The following message raj re-
ceived this. morning by The Herald:
Fargo. N. d.
Reported on very good authority
here that j. F. T.. O'Connor has been
seeking appointment in Judge ad-
vocate office at Washington. Under
stood that Governor Frazier and 9TH
ers in state administration are back
ing him. According to local In
formant, matter has been pending
several months with likelihood of
early Developments"
When shown the telegram this
services were volunteered last May
and that he expected a call "any
night or any morning."
LAS to the state administration
backing me- he said, cit is this way:
On May z, the provost marshal gen.
eral wrote Governor Frazier, as we'll
as other governors. asking him to
submit the names of two men who
then were over the draft age who
would volunteer for work in the
judge advocates Office. Governor
Frazier wrote me asking me if I
would volunteer. I told him that I
not only would volunteer for the
work, but hat I wanted my name at
the head of the list. Two days later,
1 received a letter telling me that
my name had gone in at the head
of the list. Since then l have been
waiting a CALL"
On April 20, shortly after the mat
ter Of service in the judge advocates
office came up, Mr.. O'Connor de-
clined the Democratic nomination to
run for congress in opposition to John
NJ. Baer, the state administrations
candidate. In his letter Of declina-
ton, Mr.. O'Connor said:
II am willing to serve my country
in any capacity. There is a letter on
file in Washington which authorizes
the government to call me into any
service, from carrying the gun in the
trenches to the work l am now do
ing. Beyond the draft age I have
placed my services at the disposal of
my country"

JAIL BREAKER
IS NOT CAUGHT
L. B. Mathieson Appears to
be Still at Liberty Some
where in America"

!. Deputy sheriffs from Grand Forks
county this afternoon started out in
automobiles for a new expedition in
search Of Lawrence B. Mathieson, de-
serter and self-confessed automobile
thief, who made a bold and sensa-
tional escape at broad daylight from
the county Jail yesterday. 1t is
probable that the elusive gentleman
may find himself safely behind bars
ere night.
Mathieson. who claimed that his
home is at Danvers, Mimi, and whose
father, Joe Mathieson, is said to be
living at Benson, Minn.-although
other reports have it that the elder
Mathieson is dead-disappeared late
yesterday afternoon in the neighbor-
hood of Fisher, Mimi. and the woods
where he sought to hide, refused to
give him up. On several occasions
he was seen by farmers before they
were aware Of the personality of the
fugitive, and at Fisher he made a
vain attempt to have a check cashed.
Farmers Notified.
Farmers between here and Crooks
ton have been notified SO hat they
can look out for the man should ne
appear in their neighborhood. AS it
is pretty certain that M%athieson has
no money on his person, he will I'M
doubtedly o find it difficult to
elude his erstwhile captors, accord
ing to an. opinion vouchsafed by the
local authorities today. OF course
it was pointed out, there is a likeli-
hood that he may steal an automobile
whenever opportunity presents itself
and by selling it. may be able to raise
enough cash to get away from the
district. But as information of why
he is wanted here has been pretty
we'll scattered all over the north
western part of Minnesota, people
will be on the alert for the fugitive.
Sheriff A. F. Turner felt confident
this afternoon that Mathieson would
be recaptured within a day or two.

the fact that it is as old as mankind
itself. Hippocrates. the father of
medicine, has described an epidemic
of this kind which attacked numerous
people in ancient Greece. In the
twelfth century the disease appeared
epidemically in Mesopotamia, and
throughout the Middle Ages made
frequent appearances in Europe. In
the sixteenth century the epidemic
started as now, in Spain from which
fact it, derived the name of Spanish
Pip; it spread to England, Germany
and Scandinavia.
In America in 1927.
AS early as in 1927 the disease was
observed in this country. The last
epidemic of the kind is still remem-
bered; it started among railway
workers in Turkestan in 1889, spread
to Russia, the entire European con
tinent, and in 1890 became widely
prevalent in the United States where
it was often characterized as the
Russian disease"
There is nothing new under the

Measures of Precaution.
Another physician. interviewed last
night, described the history of the
disease along somewhat similar lines
and also gave some general advice
as to precautionary measures which
could easily be taken.
In the matter Of preventing its
spread the physician said hat it oc-
ours in three forms, the respiratory,
intestinal and The secretion
from the respiratory tract is the prin-
cipal source of contagion. Sputum
and secretions from the eyes and nose
should be caught in pieces of old
linen and burned. Avoid c%ontagion
from handling dishes, money, etc. The
body should be guarded against chills
and exposure to damp or cold. Ad-
ditional, underwear should be worn,
particularly around the abdomen. The
germs are easily spread in crowds and
gatherings. Keep the bowels open
and keep warn while asleep with
windows open. Take a warm morning
bath with a cool sponge on chest,
taking care to ruiz we'll. Eat plain
nourishing foods and avoid exhaustion.
