MORE SCARED
THAN HURT IN
FOREST FIRES
No Fatalities in Mime
sofa Blaze, New
Report Says.

Duluth. Aug. 1S.-Out of the confu-
sion of conflicting reports from the
various forest fire areas in northern
Minnesota the past few days came ap-
parently definite word Friday night
that no one had perished in the flames
and that those reported dead and miss
ing Thursday and Friday had turned up
unharmed.
Members of two families who were
not accounted for Thursday night were
found alive.
In the meantime hundreds of forest
rangers and settlers continued their
battle with the flames and held their
own in some places but were not so
successful in others.
The fires that have been raging for
the last week covered the largest area
in the history of fires in Minnesota,
according to w. T. Cox. Minnesota
state forester. Although 30 per cent
of the fires now are under control.
said Mr. Cox, this is the first time in
the history of the state that serious
fire covered so general an area.
The fires have been reported in
almost all of the northern half of Min
nesota from as far south as points near
Brainerd and as far north as the ter
ritory adjacent to Grand Mariase. ac-
cording to Mr. Cox.
About 1000 men are engaged in
fighting the fires in the many locali-
ties. Mr.. Cox said Practically all these
fires were caused by the peat bogs:
Survey of the entire sections Friday
revealed that should strong winds de-
velop and the protracted drouth con-
tinue the country would be susceptible
to an even worse conflagration than
that of Thursday when one town was
partially burned.
While 400 Minnesota national guards
men. under command of Adjutant Cen
eral W. f. Rhinow. continued their
work of succoring the refugees, more
than 1000 forest rangers, settlers and
others redoubled their efforts IN figh-
ing the flames. Cotton and Central
Lakes and White Face have been de-
stroyed. A score of other towns are
menaced. Terrific winds were the chief
enemies of the fire fighters.
The first ray of hope of preventing
further serious loss was received at
district headquarters of the state for
estry service shortly after midnight,
when rangers reported the fires partly
under control.
Similar fires were reported early
rlday In SeVeFdl HortHeTHihost scc-
tions.
Mindful of the 1918 holocaust in
northern Minnesota, when more than
400 persons lost their lives. hundreds
of persons abandoned their homes,
livestock and everything they owned.
Women and children rushed to safety
while most of the men remained behind
to aid fire fighters.
Thursday night and Friday all main
roads leading to Duluth, Eveleth and
other northern villages were crowded
with fleeing women and children.
Chief among the scores directing this
work was Governor ]. A. q. Preus of
Minnesota. who came here Thursday to
make plans for speeding up coal pro-
duction to the northwest. The COVER
nor stayed up most of the night ar
ranging for cots, food and other COM
forts at the Duluth armory for the
arrivals from the fire country.

HARDING REVIEWS STRIKES

Washington, Aug. 1S.-(By The AS
sociated Press. l-President Harding
laid the whole story of the rail and
coal strikes before the American peo-
pie Friday with pledge that what
ever the cost, government by law will
be sustained.
Summing up before a joint session OF
senate and house. his efforts toward
industrial peace, the president assert
ed that neither employers nor employees
could escape responsibility for the
present situation and that no "smal
minority would be permitted by armed
lawlessness." conspiracy, or "barbar'
ity and butchery' TO override the para
mount interests of the public.
We must re-assert the doctrine that
in this republic the first obligation ant
the first allegiance of every citizen
high or low. is to his government" saiG
the president.
No matter what clouds may gather
no matter what storms may ensue, nc
| matter what hardships may attend. OF
what sacrifice may be necessary. gov
ernment by law must and will be sus-
tanned.
viii Give U. S. Aid
wherefore. am resolved to use al
the power of the government to main
tain transportation and sustain the
rights of men to work.
To strengthen the hand of the ad-
ministration In dealing with present
and future coal troubles, Mr.. Harding
asked for authorization of national
agency to purchase, sell and distribute
coal and for creation of commission
TO iuoure into "every phase of coal
production, sale and distribution
No similar request was made for
| emergency rail legislation, the presi-
dent asserting that although the rail-
road labor board had inadequate auth
ority. other agencies of the government
were armed with statutes to preven'
conspiracy against interstate commerce
and TO insure safety in railway opera
ton.
.It is NV intention. he continued,
$40 invoke these laws, civil and crlm-
inal, against all offenders alike.
Would Protect Aliens
One other legislative enactment, a
law to hermit the federal government
to step in and protect aliens where
state protection fails was advocated
nv the chief executive as a result OF
what he termed ''the butchery OF hu-
man beings, wrought in Madness, at
Herrin. III. Despite the protest OF
foreign governments whose nations suf-
fered in the Herrin battle, he said fed
eral officers we're powerless to take in
hand the situatioE created BY the
mockery of local inquiry and the fail
ure of justice in Illinois"
Members of the senate and house re-
ceived the pronouncements of the presi-
dent with repeated salvos of applause
and the leaders Of both branches an
nounced later that no time would be
lost in putting his legislative recon-
mendations into effect. Generally the
address won appreciation from ALI ele-
ments in congress, although some dem
ocratic members were inclined to criti-
cixe the chief executives utterances as
capable of double construction.

New York. Aug. 18.-(By The Asso.
ciated Press. The five great railroad
brotherhoods, which have stepped into
the nationwide shOpmen's strike as
mediators. Friday offered to the roads
what they termed practical PROPOSE
tlon for peace, and the roads took the
proposal under consideration.
Neither side would officially disclose
the terms of the proposition. In some
quarters close to the conferees It was
said that acceptance of the proposal
by the executives would result in the
immediate return of all strikers to
their old jobs with full and unimpaired
seniority and pension rights, in addi-
ton to the retention of men hired
since the strike.
The proposition, on the other hand,
was outlined in other quarters as pro-
viding for restoration of strikers as
rapidly as possible with their senior
ity rights to be adjusted ultimately to
the satisfaction of all.
The proposition in these quarters
was understood to be in the nature of
a gentleman's agreement which, it was
understood. would provide that the
question which would arise in the busy
fall season would be handled as it has
been in other years-according to the
usual wedding out process.
The whole plan. it was unofficially
indicated. would mean that without any
apparent surrender by either the rail-
roads OF The shop crafts. the strikers
would not suffer any more in the long
run than usual after an industrial
struggle of this length.
A committee of nine executives ap-
pointed to meet the brotherhoods lis
tened to this proposition, hastily sum-
moned general meeting of the repre-
sentatives of 14S roads, which probably
will be held here next Tuesday, and
then fixed the next meeting " II the
mediation committee for next Wednes-
day in this city.

the attending physicians the child
was brought home Monday evening.
He has since been doing nicely and

FEATURES OF THE
REGISTRATION ACT

IL must be remembered that voter.
cannot register by mail. They must
apply i'm person and in the precinct
in which they are legal voters.
Each voter will be called upon to
state his or her political affiliation.
This may be given as Republican"
Democrat" Independent" Social
list" "Prohibitionist' and so on.
The penalties for fraud, illegal
registration and interfering with re-
gistration are rather severe. II any
one disturbs or binders the registra-
ton, he is guilty of misdemeanor and
may be fined as much as One Hun
dred Dollars. A registration Off
Ger who fails to do his duty may be
fined the same amount. Altering or
destroying a registration book is
felony and may be punished by con-
finement in the penite ntiary from one
to five years. Anyone who breaks up
or attempts to break up a registra-
tion may be fined from One Hun
bred to Five Hundred Dollars and i'm
prisoned in the county Jail from six
to twelve months.
When the registration is finished,
the registration books are to be TAX
en- to the County Court Clerks office.
The law does not say which officer
or Officers shall do this. 1t would
be proper for at least two of the Of
ficers, one from each political par
ty to go with the books to the clerks
office. as is done in case of elections.
The registration officers must be
sworn before beginning their work.
They can be sworn before any officer
authorized to administer an oath. If
1t is not convenient to go before an
officer the registration clerk is au-
thorized to swear the other three Of
ficers and then one of the judges can
the oath to the clerk.
Persons who cannot read or write
are entitled to be registered. If the
voter can write HIS own name in the
registration book he is required to
do so. If he cannot write his name
he should state that fact on oath to
the registration officer and then the
clerk will sign the voters name for
him.

SUIT To test new
REGISTRATION LAW
Act Passed BY Last LegisIa-
ture Over Veto, To
Be Fought. -

Suit will be filed in the Franklin
Circuit Court at Frankfort next week
to test the constitutionality of the
new state registration law. The suit
will be filed by a Franklin County
taxpayer, who will ask that the law
be declared unconstitutional on the
ground that it was not properly GER
tilted by the clerk after being pass
ed over the governors veto.
Under ordinary circumstances
when a suit is filed to test the con-
stitutionality of law, the attorney
general defends the measure when
the trial is called in court. However.
in this case, Attorney General Charles
1. Dawson, it is understood, will step
aside and ask that the Democratic
committee appoint a lawyer to de-
fend the suit.
The law was passed by Democrats
as a strictly partisan measure at the
last session of the Legislature. Gov
ernor Morrow exercised his cons.itu-
tional authority in vetoing the mea-
sure, which was promptly passed by
both the House and the Senate over
his VITO. Claim is being made now
that the act was not properly certified
after passing the House and Senate
in overriding the veto. There has
been g neral dissatisfaction with the
measure, both among Democrats and
Republicans, and it is not believed
the party responsible for its passage
will make a strenuous effort to have
it upheld in court.-Louisville Her.
