K. A. B0NHUS HURT
IN AUTO ACCIDENT

Yesterday afternoon while X. A.
Bonhus, Tom Bonhus and G.. G. Ha-
gen, of Fargo, were driving along the
road towards Sanborn seven miles
west of town their Cadillac car skid
ded and turned completely over, pin
ming Mr.. Bonhus beneath the heavy
car. Tom and Mr.. Hagen saw that the
car was going over and jumped and
escaped injury. Mr.. Bonhus had three
ribs broken and was severely bruised.
The accident happened going down
the grade approaching the slough
seven miles west of town. There
were some rocks in the road of good
size and K. A. Bonhus was driving the
car going at good clip and in trying
to dodge these rocks, the car skidded
on a wet spot and over went the
heavy car with all four wheels stick
inc up in the air. Mr.. Bonhus had
to remain under the car until help
could be secured to raise the car. He
was not unconscious and told Tom
that he was not hurt but he was suf
fering severe pain at the time. For
tunately no internal injuries were re-
ceived and the many friends of Mr..
Bonhus will be very pleased indeed
to know that outside of getting his
ribs broken and being somewhat
bruised up he is not seriously hurt.
He will be confined to his home for
some time and today is reported to
be resting as easily as person posi-
bIy can who has had few of his ribs
broken. The whole party escaped very
luckily at that, in our opinion. The
car was not smashed up as badly as
might be supposed.

lbanez's Contribution to Poe Memorial
When Senior B1asco Ibanez said that
the Bronx should erect memorial to
Edgar Allan 'Poe-and threW down
$500 to show that he means Sisiness-
he acted like poet. Though Poe
pried into number of hooks and
crannies Of European literature, he
seems never to have interested him
self in Spain or Spanish. His "Oval
Portrait is located in lone of those
piles Of commIngled gloom and grand
eur" which have so long been associ-
ated with Spanish archftectures and
that is about the extent of his debt
to the land Of our guest. But poets
do not look for reasons; they are con-
tent with opportunities. Seeing that
we had no adequate Poe memorial, he
seized upon the chance to make good
suggestion. Possibly, also, Poe's

WINS
THE YACHT RACE

New York, July 28:-With the
American yachting cup saved to the
New York yachting club for at least
another year, the Resolute, the white
defender, which yesterday crossed the
finish line 10 minutes and seconds
ahead of the Shamrock " has ended
her career.
With no celebration the yacht will
be taken to the yards and dismanteled.
Nor will Sir Thomas Lipton's green
challenger race again. She will be
left behind when the owner returns, to.
England, there to prepare his fifth
challenger for 1922.
Designs for the next challenger and
defender will not go forward until
various suggested changes in the rules
and conditions of sailing are discussed
by the New York yachting club.
The 1922 series undoubtedly will
lead to many radical changes in the
spirited contest are to be sought.
1t is altogether likely that the next
cup race will not be. over the Sandy
Hook course, in the opinion of Charles
Nicholson, Shamrock builder, who
talked with many American yachtmen..
The nature Of the wind and sea condi-.
lions about the New Jersey coasts
make a real race impossible. A course.
over Marble Head or New Port has
been suggested. j., ..F>

The osly political office Harrison
ever held before his election to the
presidency was seat in the senate.
Defeated for reelection to that body
in the year before he was elected pres
jdent, he left Washington with no
thought that he would soon return as
president-elect, and he frankly de-
scribed himself as "a dead duck"
The only candidate that the rank
and file of the Republicans wanted to
nominate in 1888 was Blaine. But he
was not well, and he refused to make
a contest for the nomination. At last
he cabled from Scotland: "Take Har-
risen." And the convention indifer-
entity took him.
The more notable events Of the Har-
rfson administration-the Mckinley
tariff act the silver act, which more
than doubled the purchase of that
metal by the treasury; the Sherman
law on the subject Of trusts; the de-
pendent pension act, and the first Pan
American congress-hardly belong in

first ''billion-dollar congress-" the ap.

the popular protest Speaker Reed re.
torted: 'This is a billion-dollar. coun-
try" But the country did not feel rich
enough to pay the higher tariff rates
of the Mckinley act.
That law was passed only seven
weeks before the congressional cleo
lions in 1890. OF course anyone who
had anything to sell seized upon the
excuse to mark up prices. The ':shop-
ping women" rose in their fury at the
higher cost of living, and the voters
overwhelmed the Republican majority
In the house.
That was the forerunner Of still
greater political overturn in the presl.

went down under sweeping victory
for Cleveland.

PLAN REPAIRS TO
REHOBOTH BEACH
Town Commissioners Met Today
May Put Boardwalk Farther
Away From Ocean.
Special Dispatch to Every Evening

Special Dispatch to Every Evening
Rehoboth Beach, Feb. With the
ocean as calm as mlllpond and mild
temperatures, work of making repairs TO
those cottages that were badly wrecked
by the storm began today. Early this
morning quite q heavy snow storm swept
over this section, but many hours before
noon the sun came out and thus afternoon
is shining with all its strength at this sea-
son.
The Town Commissioners are today
making a cursOry inspection OF the dam
age wrought by the storm and will dis
cuss ways and means this afternoon TO
rehabilitate the place. One OF the things
that appears TO be settled IN the minds of
the citizens, is that it would be foolish
to attempt TO rebuild the boardwalk, that
was swept away, on its old location. II a
boardwalk is built, it viii be constructed
farther back and away from the reach of
the ocean. In event of the commissioners
deciding upon such move, 1t Is believed
that other storms would not be so likely
TO damage the new walk.
The report that % out of Is cottages at
Bethany Beach had been washed away
was an error. There were three or four
cottages destroyed and many others
damaged.
The Rehoboth Life Guards removed
from their station on Thursday night
when part of the building began to give
way, but they returned last night
Cape Henlopen lighthouse is still stand
ing, although to some eyes, it appears to

government by the French charge in
Berlin of the list of Germans whose ex-
tradition is demanded by the allies is
the proper course to pursue in the existing
circumstances, the council of ambassadors
decided this morning Its action was
made known through an official COM
munique, which read:
The council of ambassadors is unani-
mously of the opinion that the list should
be delivered TO the German government
by the charge d'affaires of France in the
name of the allied powers as soon as pcs
sible "
1t is understood that in the discussion
of the question today the ambassadors
took the view that the entire question
now is UP to Germany and that further
steps by the allies should await the action
of the German authorities.
The revival by the council of the prac-
tiee oflssuing official communications pro-
voked considerable comment. 1t WAS
taken as indicating that there was to be
a restriction upon the sources of informa-
ton of the councils doings.
