GOODYEAR CORD TIRES
FACTOR In SPEED RACE

A resume of the 1919 automobile
racing season shows that it was one
Of the most successful in the history
of the sport. Three new world
records were hung up.
Tommy Milton made 10 miles at
the Sheepshead Bay track in five
minutes, twenty and two-tenths sec
onds in his speedy Duesenberg, or a
speed Of 112.4 miles an hour. Ralph
De Palma set. new mark at the
same track when his Packard Spe-
cial flashed across the line in the 50
mile race in 26 minutes twenty
three and four-tenths seconds, or
1877 miles an hour. CASTOR Chev-
rolet hurled his Frontenac around
the same board oval at the rate Of
1903 miles an hour in the 100 mile
race in Sd minutes, seventeen and
eight-tenths seconds. Goodyear Cord
tires were big factors in the success
es of De Palma and Chevrolet.
Tommy Milton was the largest in
dividual winner, getting the check
cred flag in the two Uniontown,
Sheepshead Bay, and Elgin races.
Races were marked by few serious
accidents but there were plenty of
thrills for spectators. Everything
points to record year in automobile
racing in 1920, as interest has in
creased, rather than diminished since
the war ended

300 ALLEGED *DEP0RTERS'
FACING FEDERAL CHARGE
(By United Press)

Tombstone, Ariz., Feb. 2.-Approx-
imately 300 AriZonans. many of them
promienent as state politicians, mer-
chants, mine owners, bankers and
leading citizens. were to go to trial
today on charges Of kidnapping, the
aftermath Of the so-called "deporta-
tion' Of more than 1000 alleged
members of the I. w. w. from Bisbee,
Ariz., July IL. 1917.
The action will be the largest
criminal prosecution ever held in
this part Of the country. The de-
PENDANTS were formally arraigned
here January 81.
The Bisbee deportations attracted
wide attention. A strike of min ers
in the Bisbee district was blamed on
I. w. w. agitators. Coming as it did
at the beginning of the United
States participation in the war and
seriously threatening to retard cop
per production, at that time no ne
cessary to munitions making, it in
furiated those opposed to the
I. W. w.
On the morning Of July IL posse
Of about 1000 men herded the al
legged, agitators near the Bisbee rail-
road station, loaded them into box
cars and sent the train toward
Columbus, N. M. At Columbus the
men were taken in charge by Off
cials Of the government.

DR.. HILL ADDRESSES
BEMIDJl'S CIVIC LADIES

Before Il large gathering at the
meeting Of the Women's Civic and
Community club held in the rooms
Of the Bemidji association on Satur-
day afternoon, DR.. H. w. Hill talked
on the subject 'Public Health of
Today"
According to DR.. Hill, too little
money is spent in the prevention of
disease in comparison to the large
amount spent in caring for disease.
Prevention should receive more at
tention than ever before. Even in
the world war many defects we're
found among the applicants for mill
tary service which could easily have
been prevented in the youth.
Caring for influenza patients was
thoroughly discussed by DR.. Hill. He
compared the influenza to the grippe
of 1890. No serum has yet been
found that will render person i'm
mune from this disease and conse-
quently the most precautions methods
must be used in caring for the pa
tients. Care must be exercised with
the hands and the eyes as we'll as
the throat.
He also spoke of the present situa-
ton regarding tuberculosis in Min
nesota and the lack of medical atten-
tion it was receiving since not nearly
all cases have been reported for
medical aid.
Gargles were condemned by DR..
Hill as a throat wash for killing
germs, since period of Is minutes is
required to kill the germ and no one
is able to hold gargle in the mouth
for that length of time. 1t also re-
tards the normal flow Of saliva which
in itself should condemn the use of
gargles.
Following DR.. Hills talk, a general
discussion was held and many inter-
esting points were brought up and
explained.

The aggregation is composed en-

Macalaster fame in both football and
basketball. He was here as referee
in the Bemidji-Walker high school

for while he was referee, he dis
played thorough knowledge OF
playing a-fdst game this year.

Little Falls organized an Ameri-

DEFEAT BACHELORS

Opening the bowling season, the
married men defeated the unmarried
men in three-game match at the
Crawford alleys yesterday afternoon,
by a margin of las points. Both
teams contained number of old
time bowlers, but with lack of prac-
tice the scoring was low, the highest
score being 1873 by j. Parmelee.

of Viscount Grey, former British am
bassador here, to the London Times,
in which he stated that 'the Amer
lean reservations to the peace treaty
were justified from an American
point of view," it was believed here
today the statement would hasten
ratification.
Senators, who favor ratifications,
held that Grey's letter took the
ground out from under these men,
bers who were against any reserva
tions whatever, and who have said
that the allies would not accept them.
1t was pointed out that Britain, prin-
ciple associate of the United States
in the world war, expressed through
Grey, willingness to accept many of
the reservations which have been
proposed. His attitude, and the fact
that he even went so far as to argue
in favor Of certain American reserva-
tions, is expected to strengthen the
stand Of senators who favor quick
ratification on compromise basis,
even IF all of Senator Lodges reser1;
vations have to be accepted.
Senators today were watching
closely for some sign of what the
White House thinks about the atti-
tude of 8 Great Britain. The presi-
dents attitude all along has been
that he would and could not accept
changes in the treaty, because he had
signed the original documents, thus
promising the allies they would be
accepted by the United States.

St. Paul Mechanic Arts High
Wins Saturday Night,
Score IL to 9
VISITORS KEEP LEAD
THROUGHOUT THE PLAY
Earl Cochran Plays ''Whale of
Guarding Came; Holds
Captain Scoreless

Displaying only mediocre mid-sea-
son form, the Bemidji high school
dropped the second game Of the series
to the Mechanic Arts High school
Quint of St. Paul at the armory Sat-
urday night, before the largest crowd
of the season, by a score of II to 9.
Saturdays tussle proved to be fast,
rushing, rough game with the closest
kind of guarding on both sides.
Neither team played a fashy exhibi-
tion of basketball, the Bemidji quint
missing no less than six easy shots
of the "up in close" variety. 1t was
by far the poorest basket shooting
the locals have exhibited this year.
But, the game was exciting from a
spectators point OF view because OF
the stiff fight both teams put up to
keep the score down. The score at
the end of the first half was to S
in favor of the Trainers.
Bemidii Ties Score.
With the score 9 to against them
the Bemidji quint tied the count
when Brooks and Higbe shot a basket
in rapid succession in the first five
minutes of play in the second half.
Not once during the game did Me-
chanic Arts lose it's lead. Mechanic
Arts came right back in the next
minute when by clever piece OF
work, they worked the ball the
length of the floor and Lang shot a
basket, again giving the Trainers the
lead which they retained to the end
of the game. At this stage of the
game, Mechanic Arts hau two per-
sonal fouls called on them in success
sion for holding, but Higbe failed to
cage either of them.
Captain Stechman, Bemidji's CEN
ter, was sadly off form Saturday
night, not caging single basket al
though he had innumerable chances.
Brooks and Higbe also were some
what short of their usual accuracy
with the leather sphere and had to
be satisfied with one and two baskets
respectively. Earl Cochran played a
whale of a guarding game, holding
Captain Copeland scoreless.
Lang Leads Visitors.
Lang, left forward was the visit
ors' star man throughout the entire
game, scoring all but seven of his
teams points. Walter Higbe the
stocky little guard was the big man
for Bemidji, scoring all but two
points made by the locals.
