ICE BOAT IS USED To
ELIMINATE
EMBARGO

Goals right of way, the rush of food |
and munitions to our armies in France |
and the slowing down of transportation |
because of snowdrifts, has made the /
word rush" of little value in freight or |
express shipments this winter.
Thousands of motor trucks are now
doing their bit to relieve the situation
and assist the railroads in their task by
carrying huge consignments of goods
across the country Fleet after fleet
ploughs through all sorts of impede
ments and gets its burden to its des-
| tination.
But sometimes accidents happen and
heroic methods are necessary. Such a
case occurred recently in Lorain,
\ Ohio and only high resourcefulness
and prompt action on the part of one
man prevented expensive and diSas-
trous delay.
Laden with material for munitions
plant in Indiana fleet of trucks
owned by the Knutsen Motor Trucking
company was rolling through rough
roads west of Lorain when one of the
| leading trucks shot off the road in a
drift and it's right rear wheel and tire
i were put out of commission This tied
up the whole fleet, as the truck blocked
che roadway.
The driver got into touch with Cole
man & Burnett, local tire dealers, and
Mr.. Coleman had no tire in stock to
fit this truck. He Immediately tele-
phoned to Manager J. E. Mayi Of the
Cleveland branch of the Firestone Tire
&Rubber company, asking that a 42x12
Firestone Giant truck tire be got to
him within two hours.
Mayn soon found that freight, ex-
press or motor truck methods could not
rot hA ttr-o 10 Il
Then he thought of a recent trim he
| had enjoyed as the guest of his friend
Commodore Robert E. Babcock of the
Cleveland Ice Yacht club on the latter's
speedy Blue Ribbon" He called up
the commodore and put the proposition
squarely up to him.
If you'll get that tire to our dock in
ten minutes I'll shoot her through to
Lorain for you in much less than an
hour replied the commodore The dis
lance by rail between Cleveland and
Lorain is q miles and the scheduled
running time of the trains 50 minutes
The route over water is several miles
longer.
Sixteen minutes after Mayl and the
commodore had talked, the Blue Rib
Don, conveyed by the Red Head"
shot out of her berth in Cleveland. with
the 45O-pound tire dashed over her
wlndward runner. Dashing out of the
harbor onto the smooth ice of Lake
Erie, she shot along at mile a-minute
CLIP, the breeze at times keeling her
over until the tire was several feet
above the ice.
Speeding into Lorain. harbor. she slid
up to the dock and all hands helped
swing the tire into the waiting service
car. 1t was rushed to the service sta
ton where it was pressed onto a new
wheel by the 150-ton hydraulic press
ana then shot out to the disabled truck,
All records between Cleveland and
Lorain had been smashed and a min
lmnm OF delay had been caused
through the resourcefulness of the
t1restone manager who would not be
"stumped' by the apparent lack OF
transportation facilities.

such alacrity that the copyist gets

CONGRESS LEADERS
 GO' AHEAD WITH
 PLANS OF RECESS
Telegraph and Telephone Resolution Only Thing Which May Delay
 Adjournment

Washington. July 5.-While the House was hastily adopting the resolution au- thorizing government operation during the war of all telegraph, telephone, ca ble and radio systems in the United States, Senate leaders tonight received word from President Wilson which they interpreted as indicating his willingness postponed until after Congress returns from it's midsummer vacation.
 Leaders in both Houses tonight went ahead with plans for a recess late to- morrow night until August F, and it was said that they would be put through unless the President tomorrow insists upon immediate passage of~tfe telegraph resolution by the Senate. After confer ences with Senate leaders, Majority Leader Kitchin gave notice in the House tonight that tomorrow, after disposition of the conference reports on the army and agricultural appropriation bills, he would offer concurrent resolution for recess until August F.
 The telegraph resolution was adopted by the House tonight by vote of 22l to {, after a spirited debate in which dem- ocratic leaders said the President had expressed d desire for it's passage at once and some republicans had charged that the authority proposed for the Presi- dent would be used to further the inter- ests of the democratic party. To ex- pedite the passage of the resolution the House previously had adopted by a viva voce vote rule limiting general de- bate to two hours.
 The resolution will be sent to tb,e Sem ate tomorrow with leaders there plan- ming it's reference to the interstate com merce committee for study and probably hearings during the recess. Regardless of the recess plans. Senate leaders said it's adoption Monday, the date for which the strike of operators employed by the Western Union Telegraph company is called, is not possible. Should the Presi- dent insist tomorrow upon immediate ac- ton, which leaders regarded as doubtful administration spokesmen said undoubt- edly the recess would be delayed seV- eral days.

Grand Forks Home Guards
Will Aid Police Tonight
in Search for Robbers.

Chief of Police odin OVERLY was
today asked to start a search for two
negfoes who last night made an at
tempt on the lives Of two men in Ed
more.
Two transients secured rooms at
the hotel Of ]. B. Doyle of Edmore on
Saturday night and retained the
rooms during yesterday. About 10
O'Clock last night a noise was heard
in the rooms above, which sounded to
the men in the office like a scuffle.
Upon investigation it was discovered
that IN. attack had been made upon
the lives of the two men as they were
engaged in a game of cards. It Is
the custom OF the hotel not to allow
cards to be played in the rooms.
The men had been shot and were in
a serious condition, but were able to
relate the facts Of the case. They
said that two negroes entered the
room Inc demanded their "hands up"
and proceeded to take their money.
The men complied but when n Of
the "niggers" tried to take a gun from
one Of them he offered resistance. He
was Immediately shot at by his as
sailant and the bullet went through
his stomach. The other man then
tried to interfere and the "nigger"
shot him through the arm and near
the heart.
. The men were Immediately remov-
ed to Devils Lake hospital, where
they r now confined.
The alarm was Immediately sent
out to the surrounding towns and
communities and the police r now
hot on the trail of the desperadoes.
It Is believed that the negroes made
their way to Grand Forks and local
police are searching. The Home
Guard has been summoned into serv-
ice and will aid the police in their
search tonight.

the case is Bissenser the. name OF the
