bridge at Sank Lake and was driving
south into the city. He turned 10

hind the truck and in front of the
automobile. Mr.. Osborne, eye wit

used every human effort possible to
miss the youngster, but could not :,
The auto knocked him down. The
front wheel passed by his body in
safety, but one of the rear wheels
barely grazed the left side of his
head, badly bruising it, and passed
over the left shoulder, completely
MASKING the bones.
The lad was taken at once to the
Office OF Drs. j. A. and j. F. Du
Bols where an X-Ray showed the
above conditions existed. The injured
shoulder was placed in as good condi-
ton as possible.
Young America, Overlooking with

The unfortunate experience of the

as Commanding Officer

mended for Company
Up to Required Strength

After Is months service as COM
manding officer Of the local machine
gun company, Minnesota National
Guard, Capt. C.. S. Sparkes has
rendered his resignation to take effect
from September 30th.
Capt. Sparkes informs the. Herald
that the object for which he was APP
pointed to this position has now been
attained and there is no need for him
continuing to hold the appointment
which carries with it not only a good
deal of responsibility but a good deal
of administration work.
During the time he has been in
command the armory has been COM
pleted and the company brought up
to the strength required under the
new tables of organization.
in resigning, Capt. Sparkes has re-
commended the appointment of 1st
Lieut.. Roy l.. Scott as captain of the
company. Lieut.. Scott has been a
prime factor in the success which the
company today enjoys and his ap-
pointment should come as reward
for interested and efficient service.
Lieut.. Scott is a popular officer and
capable of taking command. The
matter Of appointment, however, is
with the adjutant general of the state
but Capt. Sparkes informs the Her
aid that he has no doubt that Lieut..
Scott will be appointed.
During his command he paid out
to the local guardsmen about $4,000
in pay checks besides the amount re-
ceived for camp at Fort Smelling this
summer. This is Federal money
which comes into the community each
year and is only one of the many ar.
guments why the National Guard
should receive the support of every
citizen.

At the same time, Austin Cham

GOVERNMENT PLANS

Against Federal

The administration. IL is learned
Is negotiating a settlement with
railroads under which the roads
would receive advances from the
Federal Treasury of $500. .oo0. 600
during the next six months.
The money, the administration
hopes, will benefit all businuess by
reviving the buying power of the
roads. and permitting their rehabiIi-
tation. At the same time it is held,
one Of the principal causes of un-
employment Will be abolished.
Notes for Security.
The railroads will give notes to
the government evidencing the in
debtedpess, bearing interest at 6
per cent, according to Secretary of
the Treasury Mellon. Meantime,
the claims of tn eroads against the
government, and the claims of the
government against the roads.
which will be compromised. and the
sums now to be advanced will be
offset against the ultimate balanc-
ing.
Additional appropriations will be
sought from Congress for the ad-
vances. Mr.. Mellon indicated, al
though there is in the Treasury at
this time nearly s250,000,000 from
which payments can be made with
out legislative action.
Have Big Claim.
An advance of $500.OoO. 900 to the
roads would bring the total govern
ment holding of railroad securities
to nearly $1,000. 900, 900. $500. 900 900
worth of bonds now being on de-
posit on which the roads are pay
ing interest regularly. The claims
OF the roads against the govern
ment for undermaintenancea approx
mate $S00.000, 900. while the govern
ment claims about $500. 0.000.0 900 from
the railroads as a result of present
Improvement made during Federal
control.
The administration 1t was learned,
holds that the railroad problem may
prove the key log in the whole in
dustrial JAM" and believes that as
the railroads right themselves all
business will follow. 1t was pointed
out that railroads employ 20 per
cent of all labor in the country and
ordinarily purchase 20 per cent of
all supplies. The inability of the
roads to make purchases has re-
acted throughout industry, It is
argued.
Roads Undermanned.
The roads, 1t was stated, are pur-
chasing fewer supplies and employ
ing relatively less labor than at
any time in their history. Disabled
cars have increased from 8 per
cent to 16 per cent in a month be-
cause ofthe poverty of, the roads.
Employees number 100000 less than
normally. ..~
Back of its efforts to relieve the
railroads, isthe desire of the ad-
ministration to lower freight rates,
which it 8 argued would stimulate
all business, and would particularly
benefit agriculture. But 1t Is be-
iieved that the roads must first be
put IN a sound condition. and be
given ability to effect changes in
the interest of economy.

MuHalbro Officer Tells
OF Mysterious En-

BOSTON. July Capt. Elisha
Diamond, second oficer of the Mum
son liner, MunsIbro. today described
the mystery ship, suspected of being
a pirate. which approached the liner
at a point seventy-fve miles south
of New York on June 80.
An official report on the eneoun-
ter has been made TO the Bureau
Of Navigation at Washington, and
the government wireless today sent
the word broadcast to ships at sea
20 be on the lookout ..
Heard Weird whistle.
'on the morning of Friday, June
80, I went on the first morning
watch" said Capt. Diamond 1T
had been foggy all day and night,
but at las a. m. the fog lifted. For
an hour I had heard at intervals
a peculiar, weird whistle. quite un-
like that of tn, average steamer.
THE Munalbro was plowing along
at twelve knots an hour. As soon
as the fog lifted / saw a peculiar
looking vessel coming up on our
port side. She was making eighteen
or twenty knots an hour, apparent
ly trying to cross our bow. This
vessel came to a position about hall
mile from us and apparently
stopped her engines. She appeared
to be sizing US up.
AT o'clock she turned tail and
steamed in the opposite direction
straight out to sea. In two min
utes she was out of sight.
Had No sIde-Iishts.
The vessel carried only masthead
and range lights" continued Capt
Diamond. 1t had no side-lights,
which are compulsory and impor-
tant in navigation.
When she turned around, I thought
she had decided to go around our
stern, as We had the right of way
so 1 failed to take close notice OF
her hull. / thought it very strange
when she disappeared.
The Munalbro was in ballast at
the time, and IL the strange vessel
was a pirate ship she probably de-
cided We were not worth touch
ing without cargo"
Taken Serkiously Here.
E. T. Chamberlain. commissioner
of navigation at Washington. yes
terday declared that the story of
Capt. Giles, of the Munalbro. was
the most substantial evidence yet
oered of the suspected operations
of sea marauders on the Atlantic
Coast.

pearance OF half a dozen ships OF
