TRAIN RUNS WILD;
ENGINEER INSANE
MILWAUKEE FREIGHT TRAIN
PILOT THROWS TROTTLE
WIDE OPEN.

Sioux City, Jan. 26.-WhiIe act
ing as engineer on special freight
train on the Milwaukee railroad run
ming between Yankton and Platte,
s. D., Friday night, Stephen York
shire, GIL West Second street, was
said to have gone insane, opened the
throttle on the locomotiva wide and
let the train take it's course for sew
eral miles over the rails at a terrific
rate of speed.
The train was stopped near Avon
by the conductor who put Oh
the emergency airbrakes when thu
train began travelling faster than nor
NAL. No one was injured.
Yorkshire was removed from the
train and put under the care of DR..
Herm Klima, of Tyndall, S. d. He
was held at Avon during the re-
mainder of Friday night and brought
to- Sioux City this morning. He was
taken to the county Jail where he is
being held for an examination by the
county insane commission.
<hCSoiuihS " WOIu IcCclNeu Dy ".
l.. Emerson, master mechanic of the
Milwaukee shops in Sioux City, York
shire seemed normal when he went
out on his run
Shortly before reaching Avon he
opened the throttle wide, the fireman
with him said.
The fireman cautioned Yorkshire,
but he paid no attention. The con-
ductor put on the emergency brakes
and stopped the train, while the fire
man was talking to Yorkshire, the
former declared.
Yorkshire could not give any rea-
son for his actions. He probably will
be taken before the insanity COM
mission late today. He was given
drugs to quiet him and he was asleep
this afternoon.

TREATY ISSUE
SETTLED SOON
CHRISTOPHERSON LOOKS FOR
ACTION WITHIN NEXT
MONTH.

Sioux Falls, Jan. 26.-That thrift
examples should come from Washing
ton in the conduct of the govern
ment's business is the opinion of the
present congress, according to Con-
gressman c. A. Christopherson, who
arrived home the other night for a
weeks stay here. Congress is deter
mined to stop the extravaganza that
has been practiced in the nations af-
fairs, he says, and the next few
years will see radical change.
There are approximately 101, 900
employees in Washington today" said
Congressman Christopherson, "and
congress purposes to cut this number
at least in half. The various depart
ments are bowling and say they can
not operate with less, but congress
knows differently and they will have
to get along. Economy must be prac-
ticed if the nation is ever to make
any headway in this respect We GER
tainly can not reduce taxes as long
as we are running $4,000, 100000 per
year expenses over our national,
income.
"This is responsible for the SEN
ate failing to act so far on the remov-
al of the luxury tax on ice cream,
sodas and so forth The house took
this off but the senate found out that
the country is spending so much
money that this tax is needed until
we can arrange some readjustment.
81 look to see the peace treaty dis
posed of one way or the other within
a month, or at most within two
months. The Jackson day banquet
of the democrats, when the president
declared that the issue must go to the
people just as the treaty was origin
ally drawn, has tended to further de-
lay things, besides splitting wide the
democratic party. But there are to-
day many democratic senators anxi-
Gus to get the treaty out of the way
and l am satisfied that compromises
can be arranged before long. There
is now suggested preamble to the
treaty by which it might be negative
ly ratified, that is, failure to ratify
within a certain limit, by not to ex-
ceed three nations, would mean its
acceptance.
There is considerable discussion
over establishment and this will not
be accomplished in hurry. The idea
is to spread the tax more equitably
rather than to reduce it. Some have
suggested sales tax for merchants
in place of the excess profits tax and
seem to feel that it would prove more
satisfactory
Congressman Christopherman said
there is lull in affairs at Washing
ton now, so he hurried out here
while committees are working.

SEEMS To Be
A HO0DOO
ILL FORTUNE FOR TRAINERS OF
THE VERSAILLES PACT.

Paris, Jan .26.-Ill fortune has at
tended statesmen intimately associat-
ed with the framing of the treaty of
Versailles in the opinion of Premier
David Lloyd George of Great Britain,
according to newspaper article pub
lished here.
Mr.. Lloyd George was so convinc-
ed Georges Clemenceau would be the
next president of the French repub-
lie that he considered the race over.
Therefore, when he heard of the elec-
ton of Paul Deschanel as president,
he could not refrain from expressing
his atonishment.
who could have expected such a
reversal of form" he calculated
when the result was announced.
In conversation with a member oi
the chamber of deputies, the Brit.
ish premier is said to have expressed
an opinion that the peace treaty was
hard luck for anyone having had q
hand in it."

Gamblers Will
Be Arrested

Rapid City, Jan. ga number of
arrests are expected to result from a
recent episode, in which a local po-
liceman was attacked when he at
tempted to break up a game of pok-
er, in which a number of men were
participating.
The policeman is alleged to have
been struck and rendered uncon-
scious by blows delivered by Ed. Til
son and others in the room. Tilson
made his escape and has not yet been
captured.
Several of the men who are al
legged to have participated in the at
tack on the officer are expected to be
arrested of the charge of resisting an
officer while in the performance of
his official duties.
Arrests also may be made on gam
bling charges, and on charges of
"bootlegging' liquor.
The authorities appear to be de-
termined to have a "house-cleaning'
in Rapid City which will put a stop
to gambling and booze selling.

ASHURST FLAYS
BOTH PARTIES
SAYS BOTH DEMOCRATS AND RE-
PUBLICANS ARE PLAYING
POLITICS WORLD WAITS.

Washington, Jan. 26.-Assailing
the senate for inaction on the peace
treaty, soldier legislation and other
domestic measures, Senator Ashurst,
democrat, Arizona, in what he char
acterized as "a nonpartisan" speech,
declared today that both republicans
and democrats in the senate were
playing politics while the country
and the world waited for action"
Neither side was making good rec
ord, Senator Ashurst said, because
Is or 20 senatorial presidential can
didates were marking time waiting
to see which way the wind of public
favor blows
Throughout the nation" said the
senator, sentiment is growing in
favor of the candidacy of a man who
has no party affiliations we know be-
cause the people know he is man of
action and not of words.
81 know the people of the country
are disgusted with our kind of states
manship. The peace treaty is lodged
here in the senate because of parti-
san politics while the other nations
of the world go forward with the
liquidation Of their liabilities and the
reconstruction of their commerce
The treaty cannot be ratified as ii
stands, all sane men know but we
should stay here and vote and vote
until We ratify it in some shape and
not sit and wait for the president to
recede from his position for we all
know he cannot do that honorably.
1--WE should take up the treaty to-
day. assure you that the president
would be the most delighted man in
the country to learn that we on this
side can do something of our own
volition."

Australia Promises
Fair Wheat Yield

Rome, Jan. 26.-In its bulletin for
January, the bureau of agriculture
says the prospective yield of the new
wheat crop in Australia will be 49,
100000 quintals against 100000
last year. But it is pointed out that
Australia possesses stocks of wheat
from previous harvests amounting
to 100000 quintals. Norman
yearly consumption in Australia is
100000 quintals.

Gus wheat crops in stock and process
Regarding the autumn sowing for

the 1920 wheat crop of the northern
hemisphere, the bulletin says the
most notable feature is the large de-
crease in the area under wheat and
rye in America, amounting to 23 per
cent compared with 1919. The con-
dition of the wheat and rye cropes in
December, 1919, was about normal
Autumn sowings of wheat are re-
ported favorable in Italy, Japan and
Morocco, while in Great Britain and
Belgium the outlook is about the av-
erage. Owing to the severe drouth
in the early autumn only 25 per cent
of the usual wheat area was sown in
Rumania at the end of 1919.

THE TREATY
COMPROMISE
SENATOR LODGE SEEMS TO HAVE
FROCES IN HAND.

Washington, Jan. &c. - Senator
Lodge, republican leader, today re-
fused to resume the bipartisan treaty
conferences except upon definite
understanding that no change whas~
ever would be made in the Lodge
reservations on article ten and the
Monroe doctrine.
He delivered this virtual ultima
tum to the democratic members at a
brief meeting today.
Washington, Jan. 26.-Attention
was directed to Senator Lodge today,
to see how he will proceed with his
treaty compromise efforts, in view or
the insurrection in his own party
against any weakening of the repub-
lican reservations.
Lodge called another meeting or
the bi-partisans ready to reconsider,
but he alone know whether it will
meet or not
If there is any uncertainty in his
mind about the republican attitude
toward the continuation of pow
vows, he will defer it, his friends
said.
Lodges friends, however, were
confident they have averted revolt
from his leadership.
