''The league of nations is a dead is

Endorsement of Irish freedom was
another point on which he expressed
himself.
Il am one of those who is suffi-

human freedom to come out squarely
for recognition of the Irish republic, 4"

Referring to the attempts of Gov.

true today We want to make il true

Both the democratic and republi-

ARREST MAID IN
JEWELRY THEFT
DIAMONDS AND PEARL COLLAR
DISAPPEAR FROM WOMAN AT
LAKE KAMPESKA.

Watertown, Aug. 2. - Charged
with the theft of jewelry valued at
$4,000 from her former employer,
Mrs Martha Schaden, of Minneapolis,
who, with her husband, is occupying
one of the summer cottages at Lake
Kampeska. Miss Lorene Hillerns,
IS, of Minneapolis, is being held in
the county Jail for trial in circuit
court.
Her bail was fixed at $1,000 by
Judge |. HI. Myers, following her pre-
liminary hearing. Unable to furnish
bonds for this amount she faces the
prospect of waiting for the fall term
of court in November unless new cir
cumstances develop.
Miss Hillerns is alleged to have
taken the jewelry last Monday after
noon.
She has been in the employ of Mrs.
Schaden, as a maid for some time,
and accompanied her here from Min
neapolis. Mrs. Schaden told the
states attorney that Miss Hllerns
had accompanied her to Watertown
Monday afternoon but when she was
ready to go back to Stony Point her
maid could not be found
Mrs Schaden went back to the lake
without her and there, she said, dis
covered the theft of her jewelry. The
cottage was securely locked and had
not been disturbed in her absence she
declared.
She added that she knew the jew
els were safe just before she started
for town. The girl was arrested the
same evening by police whom Mrs.
Schaden had notified.
The articles stolen are two diamond
rings, a diamond stickpin and pearl
| collar.
Miss Hillerns persistently denies
| her guilt She has resisted every eff
| fort of Mrs. Schaden and authorities
| to secure a confession.
The charge against Miss Hilleras Is
grand larceny.

PIIGRIMMAGE TO MARION BY
DELEGATION FROM MANS
FIELD, OHIO.

Marion, Ohio, Aug. 2.-Senator
Harding's front porch campaign be
gan here Aug. 2 with a pilgrimage to
Marion by delegation from Mans
field and the surrounding country in
Richmond county, Ohio, to pay their
respects to the republican nominee
and hear him discuss national issues.
The first of the many groups of
voters that are to come here on sim
liar missions, the delegation marched
on the Harding residence with flags
and banners flying and with bands
sounding "a sonorous message of
greetings. AS on notification day,
Marion was in holiday dress and spir-
it to welcome the mand to give the
front porch campaign a rousing send
off.
Most of the visitors accounted
themselves home folks, for Mansfield
is only 40 miles away and many in
the throng were personal friends of
the senator. Farmers. storekeepers
and professional men marched to-
gether in the cavalcade which includ-
ed both men and womenH
Although the principal event OF
the days program, Senator Harding's S
address, was withheld until late aft
ernoon, the Richland county people
began to come in early by train, mo-
tor and airplane.
Two airplanes were pilots of pill
grims here. Mrs. Gordon A. Farrow
vice president of the Mansfield Aero
club, was accorded the distinction OF
conveying from the air the first OF
the front porch delegations. A WON
ans Harding club held a prominent
place in the parade.
After a serenade on the Harding
| lawn, the program included an ad
dress of greeting bq Z. b. CapelleI

Richards Out
For Senator

Pierre, Aug. "A report comes
from Huron that r. o. Richards will
make another campaign in the state
this fall for United States senator.
Running for office appears to be one
of the fads developed by Mr.. Rich
ards and his name can generally be
found somewhere on the ballot as diff
ferent elections come along.
Occasionally in the last dozen
years he has missed having his name
on the ballot as an individual candi-
date, but in such cases he has been
present in the way of some referred
or initiated law of some character
with the brand of r. 0. Richards on
it for the action of the voters.
In fact he has become so promi-
nently connected with the primary
law in this state that it bears his
name as a part of it's character.

Farmer Loses
Life In Well

Volga, Aug. 2.-Arie Van Rokel,
a well known farmer of the Volga
territory, lost his life by being over
come by gas in well on his farm.
After a search the body was found
at the bottom of the well by his wild
ow and neighbors, whom she had
summoned to her assistance.
Sand had accumulated at the bot
tom of the well, reducing the water
supply for his stock and he decided
to go to the bottom Of the well and
remove the sand.
Another man, an expert well man,
was to have assisted him, but the un-
fortunate farmer did not wait for his
arrival and entered the well alone.
1t is thought he was overcome by
gas after descending only few feet
and fell to the bottom, a distance OF
So feet.
So heavy was the amount of gas In
the well that a lighted lantern was
extinguished at depth of only three
feet.
Van Roekel was 33 years of age
and was a native of Holland. In ad
dition to the widow he is survived by
two children.

Aberdeen Men Plan
Trapping Expedition

Aberdeen, Aug. 2.-M. l.. Boud-
row and Chris Vlohos, of this city,
have partially completed plans for
spending the greater portion of next
winter among the furbearing ami
mails of northern Minnesota and Wis
consin, and in the Ozark mountains
of Missouri, where they expect to
trap muskrats, coon, wildcats and
possibly bears, for their pelts.
The men, who may be accompanied
by third, expect to leave Aberdeen,
completely equipped for the winter of
work, about October 1, and will be
away until the late spring.
This expedition is not to be simply
undertaken for sport, but will be a
money making venture as well. The
price of furs of all kinds on the mar
ket today is very high and Mr.. Bou.
drow said yesterday that with any
kind of luck, each member of the ex
pedition ought to clean up $4,000 OF
$1,000 during the winter.

RATE DECISION To
COME THIS WEEK
INCREASE OF 35 PERCENT ON
CENT ON PASSENGERS.

Washington, ID. c., Aug. 2.-Deci-
sion is expected to be handed down
early this week by the interstate COM
merce commission on the applications
of the railroads for an increase in
freight rates Of approximately 81 per
cent and 20 per cent in passenger
fares.
Increases, it is believed by railroad
and shipping experts, will approx
mate 35 per cent on freight and
about 1-cent a mile on passenger
fares.
The original requests, filed soon
after enactment of the transportation
act, which provides that the railroads
shall receive a per cent return on
their properties, were for increases in
freight rates averaging % per cent.
Later, however, to meet added eX-
penses created by the railroad labor
boards award, adding $600,000,000
a year to their payrolls, the roads
asked for a further increase of 9 per
cent in freight rates, a 20 per cent
raise in passenger tariff, a surcharge
of 20 per cent on Pullman car trans
portation, a 20 per cent advance on
excess baggage charges and a new
rate on milk shipments, equal to the
freight rates granted.
