Railway Commissioner Milh0llan
Reports on indianapolis
Convention

Railway Commissioner Frank Mil
.hollan and Secretary ]. c. Calderhead
or the North Dakota rail board re-
turned yesterday from indianapolis,
where they attended an annual con-
:yention of the National Association Of
Tublic Utilities. Commissioner Mil
hollan found the commissions gener-
ally in favor of the return Of the rail
ways to private ownership, but reports
a wide divergence Of opinion as to the
manner in which this transfer is to be
accomplished.
No general support for the Plumb
plan of government ownership was ap-
Larent at the meeting. There was a
suggestion that, during the present mo-
lnent of Industrial distress, the railway
shareholders might not be over-insist-
ent that the management of their prop
erty be restored to them, feeling that
il may be safer to ask Uncle Sam to
retain this responsibility until the
storm is over.

TEN DROWN IN
SIGHT OF PORT
ON LAKE VESSEL
Steamer City of Muskegon
Thrown Against Pier by Huge
Wave and Wrecked
THREE PASSENGERS DIE

'Muskegon. Mich, Oct. 2S-Ten per
sons lost their lives this morning
when the Crosby liner City of lMuske
gon, formerly the City Of Holland
while trying to make the harbor here
struck the south pier at Muskegon
channel and was. smashed to pieces
sinking in four minutes.
Three of the victims were passen
gers, the remainder being members
of the crew. There were about 25
passengers aboard the vessel, but the
vessel lay against the pier so thai
most of them were able to make their
way to safety.
The City of Muskegon left Milwau
kee in the clear weather last even
ing but was caught in a raging north
wester that Struck Lake Michigan
early this morning. Riding the storm
we'll, Capt. Edwin Miller decided il
was safer to attempt to make. the har
Dor than to turn about. Just as the
bow of the vessel came into the
channel a big wave caught it ant
smashed the craft against the enc
Of the pier.
SEVEN WASHED ASHORE 4
The bodies Of four men and three
women have been washed ashore and
the beach for miles is being patrollec
for additional victims. 4
The exact number of dead may
never be known, as the passenger list
went down with the vessel. #
Nothing is left Of the ill-fatet
steamer excepting tons of wreckag'
strewn along the shores of Lak'

Under the original strike order
of the United Mine Workers of
America, more than fifteen hum
dred organized Ignite miners
would be called out in North Da-
kota on November 1, said S. S.
Mcdonald, president of the North
Dakota Federation of Labor, in
terviewed on this subject today.
Mr.. Mcdonald, however, stated
that there was question as to
whether the North Dakota mine
workers would be called out, for
the reason that the mine opera
tors of this state do not belong to
the bituminOus association and
therefore might not be bound by
any dealings which this Organiza-
ton may have with the United
Mine Workers. y
Every mine Of any conse-
quence but one in North Dakota
is organized" said President Nc
Donald. "The Mine Workers in
this state control about seventy
percent of the total output"
Commercial production Of lig-
mite last year aggregated between
two and a half and three million
tons. Two-thirds of the state, or
practically all of the territory
from Jamestown west to the Mon
tana line, relies almost wholly
upon native fuel. There are in
this area two or three dozen large,
producing districts, with a total
of more than two hundred active
mines.

struck by Northern Pacific pas:
curve, east Of Apple Creek, shor
The accident occurred at the
point where the road to this city
crosses the railroad track after
passing thru a cut and which has
been the scene of several other
fatal accidents in about two
years time. Just as the auto
mobile was on the tracks, the
pilot Of the engine struck it,
pinioning the machine and car
rying the car and it's occupants
a distance Of three train-lengths
before the engineer could bring
the train to a stop.
The dead man was killed by
having his neck broken, a hasty
examination showed, but James
H. Teachout, badly cut and
bruised and probably suffering
from internal injuries, was still
alive when the passengers and
train crew extracted the bodies
from the automobile. Both men
were placed on board the train
and hurried to Bismarck where
Frank Teachout was removed to
the morgue and James Teachout
was hurried to the st. Alexius
hospital.
DR.. F. R. Smyth, Northern Pa
cific physician, gave the serious-
ly injured immediate attention
but could not announce how bad
ly hurt he was up to the time of
going to press.
The dead man is survived by
his widow and three children and
his brother has a wife and two
children, twin girls. The broth
ers were both we'll known in the
county and had a host Of friends
in this qity. The deceased's
widow was formerly Miss Ellen
Eldrich.
The crossing where the acci-
dent happened is the most dan.
gerous in the county About
a week ago, a man from Dickin-
son driving his car to st. Paul
was struck by a Northern Pa
cific train at the same place and
altho his car was ruined, the
driver miraculously escaped
death.
Conductor Williams of No. said
that the ill-fated car was crossing
the tracks with the occupants watch
ing No. 4, taking siding to permit
No. 3 to pass to the west. Just at
that moment, No. 3. laundering along
struck the machine.
TRAGEDY SADDENS COMMUNITY
Reports from st. Alexius late this
afternoon We're that the condition OF
James H. Teachout is very serious, and
that there is little hope for his re.
cUvery. :.

SOVIETS DYING HARD

London, Oct 2S-Winter, moving
southwark from the Arctic regions, is
coming to the aid of Bolshevik troops
in PetrOgrad, and the ability Of Gen
eral Yudenitch to capture the former
Russian capital before cold weather
puts an end to his campaign seems
doubtful.
Soviet forces, fighting desperately
against the northwestern Russian
army, have succeeded in recapturing
Tsarkoe-Selo and Pavlovsk, south OF
Petrograd, and appear toabe in posi-
ton to prolong the defense Of the city
Tor an indefinite period.
USING BEST RED SOLDIERS
Some of the best soldiers in the
ranks of the soviet army are reported
to have been rushed to Petrograd from
Moscow, and it is believed that they
form the main portion of the red forces
which have initiated what appears to
lie successful counter offensive.
Yudenitch's troops are reported to
bave fallen back along the front south
Of Petrograd, but unofficial reports
would seem to indicate that they have
moved nearer Petrograd on the line
running from Gatchina to Krasnaia
GOrka.
Furious fighting is going on in and
around Kiev, which was taken last
week by General Denikine's forces.

eral Denikine.
