his letter to Secretary Daniels de-
claring the Knight board did not
give sufficient consideration to the

Admiral Mayo took view diametric-
ally opposite to Sims. He said he wrote
a letter after practically all of his rec
concentrations had been changed or
disapproved by the board or by Secre-
was Supposed to be" under his COM
mand during the war but to facilitate
matters Sims had reported directly to
the navy department The lack of a

on the decoration situation, Admiral
Mayo testified.
The admiral says he had written Gee.

had not been sufficient realization

officers who lost their ships be honor

would not be a good thing for the serv-
ice, but were their conduct after the
sinking such as Captain Christy's of
the San Diego and Commander Foote

title him to high distinction.

BEETOWN BOY DIES
CRANK|NG TRACTOR
FRANK SUBTLE, 10, FOUND
DEAD IN FIELD NEAR HIS
HOME; FUNERAL TODAY.

Frank Suttle, 10 years, son of Mr..
and Mrs. N H. Suttle of Beetown
township, was found dead in field
near the Suttle home by his twin
brothers last Sunday noon. Death
was due to injuries received in at
tempting to start a tractor. The dead
young mans neck was broken and his
skull crushed He also sustained a
broken right hip. The funeral took
place today at Dodge cemetery.
Frank the eldest Of the three SUIT
tie boys, left the house before 1920
saying he intended to start the tract
or. Nothing was heard from him and
at dinner time the two brothers, Roy
and Ralph, went to look for Frank.
They found the dead body by the ma
chine in a field about a mile from the
house.
Willie Pagel, neighboring farmer,
says he heard the tractor start about
1890 and run for few revolutions.
1t is assumed from this that the acct
dent happened about that time. The
body was found lying on the machine
between the fly wheel and the drive
wheel indicating that the boy had been
caught by the crank and hurled into
the machine.
The tragic affair has caused much
sadness in the vicinity of Flora where
the Suttle family are old residents.

HARD ROCK MEN NOW
COMPLETING LABORS,

VIM. McMahon's gang of workers
are practically through with the main
work of excavation on the new road to
the cemetery. The contract calls for
5000 yards of dirt moved with a fill
on the east side of the bridge All but
a few hundred yards of dirt and rock
have been taken across. The latter
part of the work required blasting to
get the rock which lies in layers, out
of the formation Then the big
chunks are split with steel sledges
and teamed to the fill. 1t develops
that the fill will require several hun
dred cubic yards more earth than can
be taken from the west grade and the
city will find it necessary to obtain
this earth from elsewhere. The road
will be graded smooth and the sides
trimmed and then the concrete work
will begin. This is placed at June LIST
if the cement can be obtained. At pres
ent the road is pretty rough going"
