MANY PRECIPITATED INTO
ICY WATERS
Willie Attending Memorial Day
Celebration. Almost Mir
acle No Lose of Life Was
Fad.

{.
1t was almost miracle how loss
of life was averted at Ashland Mon
day afternoon when the dock upon
which Memorial exercises were being
held, gave way. and scores of people
were precipitated into the icy waters
Of Chequamegon.
The accident occurred during that
part of the Memorial Day exercises
when the waters were being strewn
with flowers in honor Of the soldier
and sailor dead who were buried at
sea. The exercises were being held
on the old city dock and when the
crowd had gathered upon the dock,
without warning, the structure gave
way, and q large number of men, wo-
men and children were thrown into
the water.
The portion Of the dock to give
way was near the landing of the
Mary Scott and Skater. Under the
weight Of the crowd the timbers
gave way and the floor of the dock
bent down in tub shape and it was in
to this hole that more than thirty
people fell. There was wild
scramble to get out of the water and
willing hands Immediately set to
work to rescue all persons and with
In a. few minutes all were dragged
out of the water, although several
narrow escapes were had.
Because Of the large number of
people attending the celebration, and
the large number of hats and other
parts of clothing floating on the
water after the accident it was fear
ed that the loss of life had been
heavy, but after time all persons
were accounted for.
Automobiles were rushed to the
scene and those who were drench-
ed by water were taken to their
homes, and aside from being badly
scared at the time, no sickness has
resulted. The accident did not mar

EVERYONE BUSY

If you think times are dull in
Washburn just try and hire a car
penter and this will give you some
idea of the amount of repair work
which is going on about the city.
There is not a carpenter in the city
that is not head over heels with work
at the present time and the indica-
tions are that the season in the
building line will be fairly busy.
This is a good time to do repair
work. Lumber prices are down and
by making your repairs now will
give employment to a number OF
men. Every job helps the city.

Governor Raps the Bill;
Charges Lobby Dictation
DEMANDS CHANGES To-
CONFORM u. S. ACT
Returns Dry Measure to the
Legislature and Asks That
New Bill be Submitted.

MADISON, Wis.,, May 31.-Be-
cause the Matheson dry bill is
weak" indefinite and uncertain;"
because it conflicts with the Volstead
Act and violates the constitution and
law of the United States, Gov. John
]. Blaine Monday night vetoed the
bill and asked the legislature to pass
a new measure that will be reason
able and certain in its terms.''
incidentally Gov. Blaine points out
that a "pernicious" lobby at the
Capitol is to be blamed for the in
congruous Matheson amendment and
says there is plenty of time to enact
a good, strong enforcement measure
if the legislature can free "itself
from the sinister influences of the
pernicious lobby"
''The bill is unnecessarily long and
involved, and for its enforcement
red tape is given more considera-
ton than there is means afforded for
effective enforcement says Gov.
Blaine. s"The Matheson bill makes
no penalty for drunkness. 1t leaves
stalls, booths and curtains in per-
nit places-a condition conducive to
illicit sale and consumption OF liquor
and other immortal practices"
Gov. Blaine said that proper bill
should suppress the illicit sale OF
"moonshine" and indicates that the
Matheson bill is weak in this parti-
cular. Neither is there anything In
this bill to prevent the illicit sale
of flavoring extracts, for beverage
purposes.
Gov. Blaine alls upon the legis-
lature to pass "plain and definite,
and easily understood enforcement
law"
'In some essential features this
bill conflicts with the Volstead act,Y
declares Gov. Blaine. He says the
federal government has one law and
the state another. There should be
uniformity in the federal and state
acts, he says.
