SUICIDE TRY
WITH SAFETY
RAZOR FAILS
Ed Williams Scratches Neck
Badly in Attempt; Is Out
on Bail.

The human neck-necessary as it is
as a pasgageway for food from the
mouth TO the. stomach, ornamental as 1t
is in collar ads, impressive as it is on
wrestling champions-is virtually use
less when used as the strop on an
Autostrop safety razor.
So found Ed Williams, age Il, who,
in a fit of dependency, it is alleged,
tried the dangerous experiment In MS
room Of the Milwaukee hotel early Sun
day morning. He was released from
the city Jail later in the day on bail OF
$40 to appear in police court this morn
Williams despondency was Of high
alcoholic content, according to Ponce
Officer Herman Rydell, who responded
TO the call of the hotel owners. In
stead of carrying Williams spirits to
the heights of inspiration, the bever,
ages he is alleged to have consumed
worked with reverse English and he de-
cided that 1t wasn't much of q world
after all.
Accordingly, he dragged forth his
faithful safety razor, persons at the
hotel told the police, and made a swing
on his throat that should have sent
him several hundred yards into the
hereafter. Failing to follow through,
or inability to keep his eye on the
razor, caused him to slice his stroke,
perhaps. Or, theorize the police, the
skin was tough and the flesh was weak.
In other words, the safety lived up. to
its name. All Williams had was a few
bad scratches from ear to ear. lie
bound a handkerchief about his neck:
which quickly soaked with blood, and
for a few minutes police officers
thought the job more complete than in
v~estigation proved to be the case.
Williams was found in a room of the
hotel adjacent to his own, having
smashed the window out of his own
door in his haste in quitting the scene
of his experiments in the death dealing
qualities of whisker hardware. He told
the police that a negro had inflicted the
damage.
"Colored boys don't handle that kind
of a razor when it comes to meeting
social engagements" quoth the police
as they booked Williams for mixer
ness and attempted suicide.
The hotel owners said no negro had
been calling on Williams.

CAR SHORTAGE FELT
BY SCOBEY FARMERS:
NO STORAGE PLACES.
Banker Writes Commission
That Farmers Dumping
Grain on Ground.
Tribune's Helena Bureau)

Helena, Oct. 15.-In view OF the
great wheat crop in the immense grain
growing territory surrounding scoesy.
Daniels county, and the inability of the
Great Northern railway to furnish
sufficient cars to relieve the elevators.
many farmers are compelled to dump
their wheat upon the ground, according
to a complaint received by the Montana
railroad commission from an officer OF
the First National Bank of Scobey.
In his letter, under date of October
IL, received by the railroad commits
sion Saturday, this banker says:
lowing to the large territory we
have here and the immense crop that
has been harvested, we are facing a
very serious matter in the way of get
ting farmers to haul grain into town.
Some of them haul in for 80 miles and
are under very heavy expense waiting
for cars to come SO they will be able
to unload. Consequently it is well adj
vertised over the entire section that
Scobey has nc room for wheat. 1t IS
difficult here, compared with o OF
the marketing stations, in that there is
such a vast territory to pull from that
mas 10 TdliTUdu dCCOuuHIOdoLAOh ~Aob|
ever, and the crop is a big one.
The writer went on to say that eight
elevators are full to the limit and a
flour mill is filled besides. He says.
that thousands of bushels of grain are
dumped on the ground as farmers were
so much in need of money he made no
arrangements for the providing of
granaries, excepting to haul his grain
to market as soon as it was threshed.
In reply to the communication, the
| railroad commission wrote that while
it had no authority in the matter of the
! distribution of cars, it had been instru-
mental in obtaining relief for many
places in the state, particularly on the
| Great Northern, and that it viii do
everything possible to obtain relief for
Scobey. 1t was explained that the car
shortage is general. but the situation
Saturday was better than it had been
for several days.

him with the club, caught and threw it
away. Just then the ranchers brother
rushed up, Abrams said, and struck
the hunter over the head with a ham

car. the ranchers pitched rocks after
them. one striking Abrams in the back
and partially numbing it.

feel that we could fight them" sale
Abrams. For a time we thought that
we would have TO tie them VI in order
to get away from them. Since the af.
fair we have learned that the two
ranchers have behaved in like manner
toward other hunters"
Six stitches were necessary to close
the scalp wound of Abrams where hi

Political Kettle In
Arabia Bubbling Up

JERUSALEM, July 12-(Associated
Press Mail)-The Transjordania coun-
try has been invaded by Ibn Saoud,
Sultan of Nejd, and leader of the
powerful Wahabi tribe. SaOud has
declared hostilities against Abdullah
Emir of Transjordania, and at the
head of 10000 well-armed Arabs he
is within four-hours march of Amman,
the capital of Transjordania, which is
about so miles east of Jerusalem.
This invasion came without any
warning the latter part of May, and
it has added materially to the turbul-
ence of Anglo-French relations in this
part of the world. 1t has brought to
light what is alleged to be a secret
treaty concluded some three months
ago between Saoud and representa-
tives OF the French Republic.
Emir Abdullah realized at once the
seriousness of this move by the Waha-
bis, whose home territory is in the
central part of the Arabian peninsula,
and did two things; sent a delegation
to Saoud to negotiate peace, and in
formed the Palestine government of
the true state of affairs. Mr.. Phylby,
British representative in Amman, and
N6n6Id GlldllD IdCld, tut
delegation 10 the Wahabis, were seiz-
ed by Saoud's followers and released
only after very strong representations
TO the Wahabis from Sir Wyndham
Deeds, the British acting high COM
missioner in Palestine. Saoud is still
encamped within a short distance of
Amman.
The alleged secret treaty with
France is said to have been negotiated
by a Wahabi named Mohammed
Pacha ell Osseimi. 1t involves mill
tary and political relations and is
aimed against Great Britain and her
proteges, King Hussein of Hedjaz,
King Feisul of Mesopotamia and Emir
Abdullah of T~ransjordania. It's
clauses have been published here.
They set forth, among other things,
that the French government recogn-
ICES the sovereignty of Ibn Saoud;
engages to supply him with money,
arms and ammunition and to support
him if he is attacked by the govern
ments of Hedjaz, Mesopotamia or
Transjordania. In return Saoul en-
cages to counterfeit any tendency to-
ward the formation of an Arab con-
federation in the Arabian peninsula
under the guidance of Great Britain,
and to help with troops in case French
soldiers in Syria are attacked by
troops or irregular bands from Meso-
potamia or Tr~ansjordania.
1t will be recalled that Ibn Saoud
last year declared wal against Illus
sein, father of Emir Adbullah, and
probably would have captured Mecca
had it not been for the timely inter-
vention Of Great Britain.
