CANOE VOYAGE FROM vERMIL.
LION TO SIOUX CITY.

Vermillion, April 10.-Two stu
dents of the University of South Da-
kota, James Kelly and Ferdinand
Duncan, made a business trip by ca
noe to Sioux City on the Missouri
river last weekend during the storm.
They intended padding to Kansas
City but gave the trip up because OF
the cold weather when they reached
Sioux City.
The river was high and out of its
banks at Vermillion when they start
ed. Ice and trees were moving with
the current and. with a high wind
blowing, the surface of the river was
rough. At the mouth of the ver-
million, where the two currents met
and banked like the bend of race
track, they almost capsized when
they crashed into a snag. Fortu-
nately they clung to the tree and were
whirled into the backwater beyond
the point. Near Burbank they en-
countered rollers, a phenomenon
caused by swift shallow water rush
ing into deep pockets of still water
They shipped six inches of water in
the 1S-foot Old Town canoe, and pre-
vented swapping by turning the
frail craft directly across the current
and wind.
At sundown they quit the river
after getting into an ice jam and
being lifted clear of the water. They
camped out over night on the river
bank and finished the trip to Sioux
City early the next morning, with ice
clinging to paddles and clothing and
completely coating the canoe.
They made the approximate 10
miles by river in little over five
hours padding.

PEACE RESOLUTION
PASSED HOUSE
A LONG AND BITTER STRUGGLE
PREDICTED IN SENATE.

Washington, April 10.-Senate
leaders today were prepared for a
long and bitter struggle over the
peace resolution passed late yester-
day by the house. Senator Lodge,
chairman of the foreign relations
committee, said he would call the
committee to consider the measure
as early next week as convenient.
Senator Knox, republican, and Sena-
tor Hitchcock, democratic member of
the committee, have left Washington
and the date of Hitchcock's return.
at least, is not definite. Senator
Lodge said he would wait until Sen
ator Knox returns, but would not
promise to hold off for Senator Hitch
cock. Lodge and other republicans
expect the measure to pass eventually
by close vote. The margin, how
ever, is SO close that change of one
or two votes in the next two weeks
might mean the defeat resolution.
Some of the mild reservationists
have been serious In their political
maneuvers which, if successful, will
result in the mild reservationists vot-
ing against the resolution. The DEM
Ocrats will oppose 1t almost solidly.
According to Hitchcock and other ad-
ministration leaders. the mild reser-
might mean the defeat of the resolu-
tion.
Opponents of the League of Ma
tiOns plan use the French interven-
tion in the Ruhr district as an ex-
ample of the alleged failure of the
league to function in emergency.
Senator Hitchcock plans to offer
the league covenant as an amendment
to the resolution in an effort to en-
barrass republicans. The republicans
will come back. with the treaty, de-
manding that the democrats go on
record for or against accepting the
peace terms separate from the cove
nant.

road employees not authorized by the
leaders of the railroad workers
union, Senator Pomerene. democrat
of Ohio, wanted to know whether the
resolution would apply specifically to

tor Mccormick said it would apply u
all strikes In which the men ''have
disregarded the judgment of their re.
sponsible leaders,"
These walkouts. he declared, have
taken place despite the efforts of tllt
leaders of the railroad crafts to pre-
vent them.
With the unauthorized strikes
spreading, President Wilson's advi
sers urged him to speedily appoint thu

talked with him said he probabl.

Washington, April 1O.-Defeat of

ganization bill was conceded by SEN
ate proponents of the plan, and to
stave off q vote on the issue, they
planned to substitute a program for

worth of the military committee ad-
mitted that the opponents Of com
pulsory training were in the major
ity. 1t was understood that can
vass Of the senate showed IA or more
republicans and about 40 democrats

Senator Frelinghuysen, republican
New Jersey, condemned opposition te

|'ory that the men who fought Ger.
many can be called upon again.
"They have carried their portion
Of the burden" he said. ''It must bt

| Alicia du Pont, wife of Alfred l
Gu Pont, one of the richest members
OF the Du Pont family, died suddenly
today at Charleston, S. c., where
she was taken to a hospital from a
train on her way to Florida.
Mrs. du POnt was a daughter OF
former Judge Edward G. Bradford
and a sister of Edward G. Bradford
il, a lawyer of this city. Her
mother was a Du Pont and she was
a cousin of her husband.
Mrs. du Points first husband was

1919 BROUGHT FORTH
MANY new BUILDINGS
And Prospects For 1920 Have a
Brighter Outlook For The Con-
tractor.

Taking a backward glance at 1919
one wonders where Cambridge
found the money to erect so many at
tractive business houses and resi-
Gences. 1t would seem that the
scarcity of building material and
the way the prices scared daily
would have been enough TO have
frightened anyone with the slight
est desire to put up even moderate
store or home, but Cambridge people
apparently had full pocketbooks and
stout hearts for they were not to
be frightened by rumors of profiteer-
ing and uncertain deliveries on the
part of manufacturers of building
supplies.
Among those who built business
houses were William F. Applegarth
and Vernon S. Bradley, who erected
building on Race street at a cost
of $4,000. One of the three stores
it contains has been leased to the F.
W. Woolworth Company for Is
years. Harry H Brannock has
erected on the waterfront a two
story building occupied by a store
and oyster house.
The Transfer Building Company,
composed OF Mics WOODROW, ERNEST
Brannock, Charles Brohawn and
William H. Thomas, has erected two
new buildings and rebuilt third.
james A. Slacum has erected a new
brick garage. Earl Johnson has be-
gun the erection Of a building to be
used as a vulcanizing plant. Lee
Compile & Harper, furniture dealers,
have rebuilt a residence, converting
it into two stores, and the Cam
fridge Monumental Works nave con-
verified a residence into Il business
building. Among those who have
completed or begun work on resi-
dences are J. Ben Brown. Robert E.
'Tubman, of Baltimore, Granville
Tubman, Moses Moore, George
Zeigler, Sewell T. Moore and Mrs
Richard H. Dixon.
And now, with its face turned to
| the possibilities of the present year,
Cambridge is locking into d future
which is likely to far exceed the year
through which it has just passed.
The recent property transfers made
it eXpedient that more homes be
built, the growth Of Cambridge en-
terprises calls for more labor, and
the scarcity Of homes gives a bright
hue to the opening Of 1920, and al
ready the local contractors are look
ing eagerly to the return of the
birds.
