that the policy Of the board was to
operate the shipping establishment in
the most economical manner, and that
all cuts in personnel were made soley
with this thought in mind, that the
political Utilization Of the dismissed
men was never given consideration.
"The discharge of employees is not

to do business in "the ordinary way"
hoping to be summoned to Washington
any day and obtain new contract. In
stead the ships were seized without
notice and without discussions, the
statement adds, which seriously i'm
paired the good will and "gave NOR

claim that the dispute should have
been arbitrated, according to contract,
and that no other creditor Of the Mail
had brought suit against it or en-
barrassed it in any way.

Police. Station Bid Goes Tn
Two Sets Already Rejected for
Goth Precinct Building

A special meeting of the Board Of
Estimate was held yesterday to consid-
er the awarding of the contract for the
construction of the building for the
SiXtysiXth Police Precinct sta
tion in Richmond. The matter has been
pending for some time, and two sets
of bids have been rejected by Police
commissioner Richard E. Enright, as
none was found to be within the
amount appropriated for the work.
The lowest bid of seven or eight,
according to Special Commissioner
John M. Shaw, who appeared for the
department at the board meeting, was
S2S7 7,465, an amount in excess of the
appropriation. Yesterday the same
concern was the lowest bidder, but its

MIX And HORSE CRASH
FROM ROOF TO CELLAR

Action is the keynote of every
Tom Mix production-the kind OF
action in which he is at home and
of which he is master-the kind that
thrills and throbs and pulses from
A to End. Two pictures produced
within a few months at the West
Coast studios of the Fox Film cor
poration-"T -"The Speed Maniac" and
1.-THE Feud"-have set superb rec
ord for hair-raising stunts.
Now comes new production with
a climax that overshadows all of his
former achievements This is "The
Cyclone" which William Fox pre-
sents at the Liberty theatre next
Thursday and Friday. The story is
brin1ful of impressive situations. The
cowpuncher star takes the part of
Sergeant in the Canadian Northwest
Mounted Police and must surpass
himself in feats of agility and horse
manship in the sacred cause of love
and honor.
The climax is one of the most sem
sational stunt spectacles ever screen
ed. Perhaps no other actor ever has
attempted such feat, and there
was some doubt if even Mix could
do it. But he scorned the evident
danger. The recklessness of the
"man who never fakes" reaches
high-water mark here. After SER
les of exhausting experiences Mix,
on his favorite horse, gallops up
three flights of stairs, landing on
the roof of the house. The roof
gives way under the great weight, |
and horse and rider crash through |
successive floors into the basement, |
where a terrible fight ensues. The |
effect is stupendous.

for the observance of Memorial Day,
Mr.. Knowlton, Mrs. John Cook, Mr..

Mrs. Rathert and Mrs. Rae will sup

will be over at IL As A. NJ and it is
hoped that all business will be sus-
pended and that the City of Wolf
Point will unite as one people to hon
or the boys who consecrated their
lives to its service. We want the
boys and girls, their mothers and
fathers and the young men to plan
to be at this meeting. We feel that
they owe this to themselves as we'll
as to the community; we feel that
there has been neglect in the teach
ing of patriotic sentiment and the
real things that America stands for,
that will, if continued, cause America
to cease to stand for those things.
We now have large number of alien
people who have not learned the
thoughts and traditions of America,
and it would seem a duty to try and
induce all people here of foreign |
birth to attend these meetings and |
earn some of these traditions and |
ind out for themselves why we are
,roud of America, and what that
means to us and them.

MISS GIFTS INJURED
in CAR ACCIDENT
AUTO LOADED WITH WOLF PIT.
STUDENTS ROLLS IN DITCH
AT POPLAR

An automobile accident that re.
suited in broken leg and other pain
full injuries to Prudence GIFTS, an in
jured foot to Isabel Jerrow and mi
nor injuries and severe jolts to the
other five occupants of the car hap
pened at Poplar while the Wolf Point
delegation along with the rest of the
big crowd in attendance at the coun-
ty eighth grade exercises, were hav-
ing good time about town and wait
ing for the evening festivities.
Several cars drove out over the
road east of town, just for spin.
The accident happened on grade
to Dodge car driven by Marc Ma
son, a Wolf Point high school boy.
No one seems certain just how the
thing happened but there was stone
in the track, and a bump and
swerve from the road and into the
ditch and some fipfops by the car
most of them say two. The boys and
girls were thrown from the car with
great force and scattered over the
nearby landscape. One wheel and
the windshield of the car were smash
ed.
The occupants of the car, besides
those mentioned, were Juliet GIFTS, a
sister of the one most seriously hurt,
Amber Bickers, Glenn Thorn and
John Brown. Juliet and Amber were
slightly scratched on their faces. The
boys were not hurt beyond some
bruises. Thorn was riding on the |
running board and saved himself by |
jumping. The sped of the car is an
unknown quantity but evidently fast
enough to make it turn over
couple of times.
A car loaded with boys only driv-

sons car. Robert Jelley looked back
and saw what had happened. A car
of students in the rear also had a
view of the smash up. Jim brought
his car back and took the injured
ones into town. The girls were
brought to Wolf Point on No. 8 at
7:30.
Prudence GIFTS is reported suffer

eg was broken near the ankle and a

GLASGOW wins THE
OPENING GAME, 10
FIRST GAME OF MILK RIVER
VALLEY SCHEDULE PROVES
CLOSE AND EXCITING

A no-hit one-run game, with to-
tai of but two hits in the game, is not
so bad for a couple Of squads of
rockies, in the first game of the sea-
son. Some class about that and
straight tip to the fans on the kind
of game they may expect to see here
next Sunday.
The Wolf Point and Glasgow Le-
gion teams set a pace at Glasgow last
Sunday, in the opening game of the
Milk River Valley League, that
promises some very interesting base
ball this summer. Those who saw
the game say it was one of the clos
est, cleanest sessions of the pastime
ever staged at Glasgow's fine ball
park. One of the best features of
the game was the total lack of rag
chewing and umpire batting. The
players accepted the jumps decisions
without comment, so the game NOV
ed smoothly and rapidly.
Reynolds made the circuit of the
bags in the first inning for Glasgow
and the nominations were closed
right there. Glasgow was elected
but was kept busy for the other eight
innings holding onto its place in the
winners column.
Moe was the bright particular name
on the electric sign and the Bill Hart
of the whole nine reels. He is said
to be fine young player but awfully
stingy. He made hit but the lads
playing against him did not. They
needed Babe Ruth but none APP
peared.
The Wolves were only just one
Jump behind. King performed on
he mound in good style for six in
lings, allowed but one hit. He then
'etired to save his arm and Captain
lefty Williams took up the burden
and held his opponents scoreless and
% one hit for the last three frames.
Every member of the new team put
Up high quality ball and did his part
n holding the Valley county bunch
