REPAIR OF ROAD FROM
bEmlDU TO LAVINIA
WILL BEGIN TOMORROW
Fund Being Solicited to Put
Lake Road in First Class
Shape for Automobiles

AS planned by the committee ap-
pointed from the Bemidji Civic and
Commerce association to make ar
engagements for the improvement Of
the road on the east shore Of Lake
Bemidji leading to Lavinia and the
summer residences there, the work
of repair will begin tomorrow morn
ing under the direction Of Thomas
Roycroft. According to the plans
about one week will be required to
make the necessary Improvements at
this time.
At the meeting Of the association
last week it was decided that fund
be raised for this purpose by assess
ing individual members at the rate
of IS each or, if preferred by some,
one days work. The labor for the
work, however, will be hired by Mr..
Roycroft, who has already made plans
to speed the project as much as pos
sible. The committee urges that the
members contribute as much as pos
sible and in the event that larger
fund is raised than has been planned
for, it will be used for further repairs.
A letter has been received by Mrs.
Leila Sanborn, secretary Of the ,asso-
citation, from w. H. Shulze Of Grand
Forks, who is property owner at
Lavinia, and this correspondent urges
that everything possible be done to
put the road around the lake in the
best of condition. He believes. that
it would be a big drawing card for
Bemidji and would result in more
business for the hotels and mer-
obon+e

CORRUPTION CHARGED
IN SECURING SOME
V0TE.FOR SUFFRAGE
Investigation Will Be Asked
for by Anti-Suffrage
! Exponents
(By United Press)

Nashville, August 19.-Judge De
Bow, iof criminal court, today asked
the g'and jury to Investigate alleg-
ed 10 'bying in connection with the
consideration of the suffrage am
endment by the state legislature. The
judge in his message TO the grand
jury said it had been reported by
suffrage headquarters that forces
of corruption were operating. No
names were mentioned. A Nashville
newspaper today published affidavits
of two men alleging an effort was
made to bribe representative Burn,
whovoted for suffrage on the final
roll call. at the same time four sign
ed statements were offered in which
the stories Of attempting bribing were
declared absolutely false. C. B. WAL
lace of Lewisburg and E. E. Murray
of Nashville, in their affidavits
charged that Burn was taken into a
room opening off the house by rep
resentative Joseph Hanoved, leader
of the suffrage forces. Wallace
asserted he understood Hanover to
say that Burn would get anything
he wanted if he would change his
vote and that lit would be worth
$40 to you A similar story was
told by NJ. Murray Mrs. Leslie Wern-
err, Nashville suffrage worker, in a
signed statement said, Il overheard
the conversation and there was no
offer of any kind or anything that
remotely resembled an Offer" Burn
declares in his statement that the at
fidavit charging bribery were entirely
false and without founda ton.

The American Legion during the
coming year has resulted from the
election Of officers and delegates at
the closing day of the state convep-
ton of the Minnesota department,
held at Duluth yesterday. Although
the delegation representing t h e
Ralph Oracle Post were unable to
land the 1921 convention for this
city, since the split of the northern
vote Included Virginia and was in
:strumental in bringing about the VIC
tory for Winona, it's presence at the
convention was felt strongly, and the
aid of Bemidji's delegates brought
about other honors for the district:
The delegation returned to the city
this morning with the exception OF
N. E. Given, who will attend the Elks
convention at Virginia, and Clarence
lFoucault, who with his family will
! return by auto the latter part OF the
week probably leaving Duluth tomor-
row evening. The boys all seem
pleased to have secured SO many hon
.ors for the district even at sacri-
flee of the convention city1>and their
hopes are high when they make the
announcement that the Bemidji post
wilFsgo afterrit again next year and

From the Sixth congressional dist
riot there was elected for the coming
year, Archie Vernon of Little Falls,
state commander, to succeed: Harri-
son Fuller. AS first vice-commander,
Joyce Lewis of Long Prairie, was
elected. In addition to these two Of
fees filled by the convention, the
Sixth district is to be represented by
three delegates at the national con-
vention next month Those chosen
for this delegation were John M. Gull

AUTO REGISTRATIONS
BRING FORTH VARIOUS
REPORTS OF CONDITION
A Road Considered Good by
~ One Party Is Chased as
Poor by Others

AS result of the first attempt of
the Bemidji Civic and Commerce as
ISOLATION to obtain a report of the
condition Of the roads leading to this
citv bv means of auto REGISTRATION
.cardss at, the hotels and garages, inter-
esting returns have been: brought
forth. The motorists report appar-
emily depends largely upon the condi-
ton of the roads over which he has
been used to travelling. In a num-
Der of instances the same road, trav-
eled over at practically the same time
and" under the same weather condi-
tions, bears quite decidedly contrary
reports. Nevertheless the Cass Lake.
Bemidji road still holds by the usual
condition as livery poor"
Some reports say good for part
of state" One party motoring from
St. Paul and passing through Bemidji
from Blackjack on the return trip
reports the road impossible. Still he
reached here and expressed the hope
that the rest of the road to St. Paul
is bitter. A Duluth party coming
here from Thief River Falls reported
verv poor roads between Clearbrook
and Bagley, and expressed the belief
that it would be much appreciated by
motorists if the old trail signs would
be taken down since the road, he says,
is almost impossible.
An Iowa motorist reports the Jef-
ferson highway "chucky and full Of
holes. with too much travel and lack
of work. Still another party from
Iowa says the roads are fine and that
he likes Bemidji very much A St.
Paul touring party travelling over the
road from Grand Rapids to Bemidjl
bv wav of Federal Dam reports the
sworst stretch Of road ever travelled
over" A Winnipeg motorist de-
clares that the road from Red Lake
Falls to Bemidji is disgrace to the
country. In reporting on the road
from itasca State park to Bemidji a
varied opinion is brought forth. Some
renort good condition but rough,
while others report much sand. .
judging from the reports submitted
bv forty touring parties composed OF
practically one hundred fifty persons
within the last few days, considera-
ton must be given to the locality in
which the tourists reside and to the
roads over which he has been accus-
toned to travel before final judg-
ment is made upon the roads leading
to this city.

Quicksand Bar Thought to
Have Drawn Bodies Down;
3 Families Bereaved

Fisher, Mimi, Aug. 1S,-This town
and the immediate vicinity have been
plunged into grief because of one of
the most heartrending tragedies of
the Red River Valley in recent years,
and tonight Mr.. and Mrs. Ole Vatten-
dahl, Mr.. and Mrs, Owen Olson, and
Mr.. and Mrs. Isak Anderson, all farm
ers who live near Fisher, are mourn
ing the loss Of sons who died this
afternoon by drowning in the Red
Lake river, two and one-half miles
northwest of here. .
The following is a list of the boys
who died:
Theodore Olson, IS years old.
Oscar Olson, II years old.
Ephraim Vattendahl, IL years old.
Maurice Vattendahl, 8years old.
Thomas Anderson, ID years old.
At 10 o'clock tonight none of the
bodies had been recovered, and the
search was practically abandoned un-
til tomorrow morning at sunrise,
when it will be resumed.
Detail. of Tragedy.
Theodore and Oscar Olson were
brothers, as were also Ephraim and
Maurice Vattendahl. Thomas Ander-
son, the oldest of the boys, had no
brothers with him.
The only eye-witnesses of the
drowning were Aubert, 9-year-old
brother of the Vattendahl boys; Cy
Olson, a brother of the Olson boys,
and a 6-year-old daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Vattendahl; these three were
on the bank of the river when the
drownings took place, and immedi-
ately ran to the nearest farm house
and gave the alarm. f.: ="
George Murphy, boy who at the
time was standing on the hill across
the river, heard the piercing shouts
for help land ran down the river, but
when he arrived there the bodies had
disappeared from sight. 49,
From the reports of the only eye
witnesses and that of Olof Rystad
of England, an uncle of the Olson
boys, the following was learned:
Shortly before 2 o'clock this after
noon the eight children had gone to
the river. Thomas Anderson, the
Oldest of the party, suddenly felt an
impulse, to go swimming. and sug-
gested to his chums that they do the
same thing. The younger children
said, however, that their fathers had
told them not to. 60 into the water,
and that they wanted to go into the
woods to pick chokeberries.
Unable to resist the temptation Of
the cooling water amidst the scorch-
ing sunshine of the afternoon,
Thomas undressed, stepped into the

The Poles are reported today to be
desperately pushing their newly won
advantage over the Russians in a
race with time. Balanced against the
continued Polish activities along
nearly the entire 500 mile battle
front, was the apparently we'll estab-
lished fact that Pilsudsky and Wey-
gand have employed practically all
their reserves, while the bolshevik
reserves are virtually untouched. In
view Of this situation military ex-
perts here believe that the Polish
victory must become much more pro-
nounced within the next few days
if conditions are not to be reversed
and the Reds again assume the Of
