DR.. Bradley
Talks to Class
COMMENCEMENT EXERCISES AT
TENDED BY LARGE AUDIENCE;
FIFTY SEVEN RECEIVE d.
PLOMAS.

Dr.. Preston Bradley, pastor of the
Peoples Church of Chicago, gave the
address to the Glass of '22 at the arm
ory last Thursday evening. The au-
ditorium was crowded with the fri
ends of the class members and others
who eagerly grasped an opportunity
to hear DIR. Bradley second time be-
cause of the splendid impression he
left on the community by his address
given during the lecture season last
winter. DR.. Bradley met all expecta-
tions delivering an address of great
merit and one which made a strong
appeal to both the young and old in
his audience. He spoke frankly of
the injustice of an economic system
which necessitated three fourths of
the high school students in the larger
cities dropping from their classes be-
tween the freshman and senior years
in high school, spoke scathingly of
citizens who overlook educational
necessities in their eagerness to lower
taxes, quoted statistics showing that
the average mentality of citizens of
military age was that of a boy of
thirteen years and placed the respon-
sibility for the many social evils of to-
day upon the indifference of parents
and unstable conditions in the home.
His talk was an appeal to the higher
instincts of all ages, lightened with
an understanding sense of humor
which gave it many delightful touches
and showed the speaker alive with
sympathy for young people and their
problems. It was without doubt the
most impressive as well as the most
entertaining commencement address
which has been given here for many
years.
Other numbers on the program were
the valedictory address by Miss Nellie
Doyle, the salutatory by Miss Minnie
Holdhouse, songs by the girls glee
club and the boys quartet and music
by the high school orchestra. DIR. A.
A. Asleson presented the diplomas
and Rev. j. w. Jiracek and DIR. Phil
Ellsworth pronounced the invocation
and the benediction.
This exercise concluded the COM
mencement events for the present
class. The baccalaurate sermon was
given by Rev. B. L. Main in the
Church of Christ the Sunday evening
preceding the regular commencement
program. The class consisted Of fifty
sever members.

Morgan Boy
IS Drowned
WALTER HOPP MEETS DEATH
IN MINNESOTA RIVER
SATURDAY NOON.

Walter E. Hopp, son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Carl Hopp Of Morgan village,
met with a tragic death by accidental
drowning, shortly before noon Satur-
day. A party of high school boys
and girls had gone in autos, to what
is known as "The Rocks" along the
picturesque shores of the Minnesota
river, to spend the day in pleasure,
taking with them a picnic dinner.
They enjoyed the ramble amongst the
rocks and many camera pictures were
taken of the merry group of young
people during the morning.
Later in the day Walter Hopp and
Waldon Schienheider, son of Reverend
Schienheider, decided to take a swim
in the river. The unfortunate young
man clad in heavy overalls attempted
to swim across the river. When near
cred swift current and the crowd of
young people on the shore noticed
that he appeared to become exhausted
and they called for him to turn back
which he endeavored to do. When
within about ten feet of the shore, he
showed signs of weakening and his
classmates called to him to keep up
his courage until they could suceor
him.
Waldon Schienheider came to his
rescue just as he was going under the
second time and barely escaped being
drawn down with him in the stiff cur
rent. Harold Jaska, another member
of the party, endeavored to rescue
Walter before he went down the last
time, and was grasped so firmly by
the drowing boy, that it was with
great difficulty that he escaped death
in the waters also. The young people
remained helpless on the shore as the
lad went down to his death.
A hurry telephone call was sent to
DR.. Haskins, from a farm house some
distance from the scene of the acci-
dent. His parents were notified and
with a large crowd of sympathizing
friends made search for the body.
After two hour search the body was
located not far from shore. The
tempting picnic dinner remained un-
touched and the party of young people
who set out SO merrily, returned to
town in sadness.
Walter E. Hopp was nineteen years
old last spring. He is the youngest
son in the Carl Hopp family. His
death comes as a terrible shock to his.
parents, brothers and sisters. The
young friends who were associated
with the unfortunate young man, in
this city are stunned by his sudden
death. He was young man admired
for his many manly characteristics, a
trait that made him a universal favor
ite with his teachers and classmates,
and he is mourned not only by his i'm
mediate family but by the entire COM
munity as well. He was member
of the St. Johns Lutheran church and,
sang in the church choir. He was
also member of the Morgan Com
munity Band and also belonged to the
High School Orchestra and Glee Club,
his voice being heard in a beautiful
selection given by the Glee Club at
the commencement exercises at the
city hall, the evening before his death.
A large circle of friends sorrow
with the members of his family in
the sudden and tragic death of one
Of the most promising young men Of

Csc Out of ST
Goes on Highways
OFFICIAL FIGURES SHOW ABOUT
5 CENTS OF DOLLAR IS SPENT
FOR OVERHEAD.

Minnesota highway department
overhead expenses are taking only
slightly over five per cent of the trunk
highway funds, compared to the Z per
cent average in other states.
General administration, surveying,
engineering, superintendence-e
ers building in St. Paul to the wages
of the survey party cooks covered
by the figure which further establish
es the economy with which the de-
partment is managed. Administra-
tion costs, which include the salaries
of executives and headquarters and
many field employees, rental and 9TH
er general office expenses, are more
than covered by the annual fund of
$150,000, less than 11s per cent of the
business volume, Engineering and
superintendent accounts for the big
part of the remaining A per cent.
The figures from the official records
are given this week in bulletin from
the state highway department in
answer to inquiries following revival
of unfounded reports that compara-
lively little road money was going
on the roads. They show that nearly
95 cents out of every trunk highway
dollar goes into road betterments and
the rest for engineering and other
necessary items.
J. T. Ellison, assistant highway
commissioner, said that the Minnesota
showing is among the most favorable
in comparison with those of other
states. While the Minnesota over
head aggregates a little more than
5 per cent, he said, that on mainten-
ance is but 3h per cent and for new
construction is about per cent, or
less than the general average for
other states. All expenses except
amounts paid to contractors are in
cluded in construction overhead, he
explained, while the maintenance item
embraces everything except the wages
Of the patrolmen and other expenses
going directly into road betterments.

Grant O. G. Rain, principal of the
Redwood Falls high school, makes
the following statement concerning
the student finances for the year just
closed. The statement is not only
very interesting to the parents and
friends of the students but it is also
a very gratifying one to all the
patrons of the school, since it shows
very conclusively that the students
are trained to feel their financial re-
sponsibilities while they are members
of the student body. "Eyery person
completing this year in the local high
school met every financial obligation
incurred by him to the various high
school organizations. Every organ
ization paid every bill that was made.
In other words no high school organ
ization owes any of the business peo-
pie for items purchased, All pledges
to the Near East Relief Fund were
paid. Every organization has funds
in it's treasury with which to begin
next school year. ALI pledges by the
students were made voluntarily by
the individual himself or were levied
by the various organizations of stu
dents themselves. When once stu
dent made pledge he was held to
personal accountability for the re-
demption thereof. The purpose Of
this system was first of all to insure
the business people of the payment
for goods sold BY them to student
organizations, secondly to develop
within the pupils themselves sense
of financial responsibility and thirdly
to develop in the students the sense
that a promie made by them should
be identical with a promise redeem-
ed"

SURPRISED BY ACTION

Washington. ID. c., April Z.
The report of the demand for the in
dictment Of Gov. Rely of Porto Rico In
San Juan and two other American off,
ciaIs on charges Of misuse Of public
tonight
No hint that such action would occur
has been received either by Secretary OF
War Weeks or Attorney General Daugh-
erty. The War Department has SUPER
vision over the Porto Rico Government,
while the Justice Department directs
the District Attorney and prosecutions
by the Government.
At the Office Of Attorney General
Daugherty It was explained that the
District Attorney in Porto Rico has
full authority to seek indictments with
out consulting Washington. Yet 1t Is
regarded as unusual that no hint OF
action iI, the present case has been re-
ceived.
At the War Department officials said
Gov Reilly has been hampered to some
extent in his work by political factions
in Porto Rico which are campaigning
for Independence of the island Moro

far has failed to confirm appointments
made by the Governor.

waste features of the industry. perhaps
the fundamental one. The expensive
mines serve to fix the higher price and
justify profiteering In other mines.
Until some form of organization of the
industry is had that evil will continue.
IT agree with the proposal that the
mines must be controlled by the Ma
tional Government to a very marked
and drastic extent. Whether it finally
comes to complete Government owner
ship or very strict regulation II Is not
necessary TO speculate at present But
that the Government must have hand
in running the coal business is quite ap-
parent at this time"
Representative Walsh MASS. )---"The
editorial In THE NEW YORK HERALD de-
serves thoughtful consideration. In view
of the situation which arises from time
to time 1t is apparent that the Federal
Government must come to some method
OF supervising the coal industry. Whether
that should be done along the line of
promoting distribution or the standard
ization Of grades and prices I am not
prepared to say at this time. 1t seems
that the controversy over the wage scale
for the mines every few years Is be-
coming a too frequent occurrence, up
that reason l believe the people of the
country are entitled to proper govern
ment supervision of the mines so as to
stabilize the industry"
Senator Calder. Republican IN. Y.)-'
II am very glad to hear OF the proposal
for stabilization of the coal industry. l
hope that the editor of the HERALD will
further develop his proposal during the
next few days, so that 1t will be possible
to determine more nearly the prac-
ticability of the idea AS a result of
a most careful and iaborious study of
the situation In the coal Industry, I
introduced some time ago a bill in which
coal was regarded as something over
which the public and Government had
a certain measure OF control. like that
exercised over the railroads. The pres
ent crisis In the industry brings home
the fact that there Is certainly some
obligation on the present Government
to protect the people in a situation like
the present which may hamper busi-
ness and cause suffering"
Testimony before the House investi-
eating committee Brought out again to-
day. however, that q new method of
mining coal and new arrangement of
working conditions between capital and
labor must be found.
John Brophy. president OF District No.

the establishment of a commission which
would investigate conditions In the in
dustry and make public reports and
recommendations. He went into detail
MS to wages and alleged hidden costs OF
the operators.
Brophy did not favor district division
of the mines. He urged the regulation

ing there were too many mines produc-

problems confronting the nation. Many
suggestions have been Forthcoming and
all of them are worthy of the utmost
consideration.
.@The suggestion that the coal fields
be divided into a limited number OF
groups under a scheme of ownership by
which the prosperous mines would help
share the cost of the mines more ex-
pensive to operate is in many ways good.
Yet should be hesitant about giving II
an Endorsement until data had been col
lected to show what would be the exact
result. The problem Is one that requires
the most exhaustive study. have found,

accepted theories about the industry do

the standpoint of the mine worker who
is affected by the strike. Agents of the
Department of Labor have been In the
coal fields making long reports to Wash

touch with the miners and operators.
ANY suggestion that will be found to
work we will welcome with open arms. =
Mr.. Davis declared. The whole situa-
tion is. however. very much confused
and involved. and whatever policy is de-
termined upon should be adopted only
after the fullest investigation.
"This would be, in effect. the coming
of the coal fields. I have heard the sug-
gestion applied to the railroads and also
to the settlement of strikes-the coun-
try being divided in the manner pro-
posed. So far as the coal industry is
concerned, however, the idea Is new, and
/ believe the suggestion Is one that
would be worthy OF study"
Figures developed In the Department
OF Labor. Mr.. Davis said, tend to show
that there are too many coal mines at
the present time. and that conditions
would be improved II some of them were
eliminated. He called attention to the
fact that the Illinois mines were worked
only about one day a week on an aver
age. Twenty per cent. of the first class
mines In Illinois. he said. would have
supplied 20 per cent. Of all the coal
consumed In the United States last year

ing the year.
Mr. Davis declared that many coal
miners, recognizing the fact that there
Is over production, are leaving the
mines, never to return. They are start

while others have gone TO farming Sec
