a short time ago, Is to remain in this
country after all.

Lundgren recently for $500. 1t was
the counts. intention to send her to

announcement that the wonderful
mare was to go g far from the scene
OF her victories on the turf provoked
such an outburst Of sentimental re-
greet that a movement was started
by influential supporters of horse rae
ing to keep her in England. Lord
Glanely and Count Lundgren talked
the matter over in a friendly spirit
with the result that it a mutually
agreed to call the sale of.

and among blacks 22:3 per cent, ac-

ASKS CLUB TO
GET FACTS IN
RAIL TROUBLE
=. ]. Leo, Writes Letter On
Strike To Commercial
Club

E. J. Leo, a member of the order
Of Railway Conductors. has written
a letter to the local Commercial club
asking that that organization try to
get as many facts as possible relative
to the desertion Of trains by crews
on the western desert before passing
judgment. The letter follows:
August 10, 1922.
Mr.. W. W. Blafn,
Secretary. Grand Forks CONNER
cial Club. "
Dear Sir: 81
AS a member of this club, and in
the interest Of the Order of Railway
Conductors. of which 1 am a member,
1 am going to request that you, in
justice to our order, put before the
members Of this club some of the
true facts Of this trouble we have
been reading about in all u daily
papers regarding the deserving OF
trains on the desert of Arizona by
members Of tho big Four, of which
we are one.
Some Of the editorials on this ques-
ton try to picture in the minds of
the public, train crews taking their
trains far out on the burning sands
and there leaving the passengers to
die from starvation and heat, and
they themselves walking back to their
homes. The leaders. of u organiza-
tons, namely, Messrs. Stone, Shop
pard, Lee and Robertson, have proven
beyond a doubt to be conservative
men and men capable of holding a
high office which they now fill. They
are now doing their Utmost during
this present trouble. as they have in
the past, to keep their organizations
intact There is M question but
what we have radical members in all
our organizations, whether they be
political, religious, fr%aternal or labor
Organizations. These editorials and
articles of which l have just referred
have the same effect on these men
that know the real and true Ncondi-
tons down in Arizona that the wav-
ing Of a red flag would have on an
enraged bull. The point 1 want to
bring out is this, and you no doubt
will agree with me-: that it is the
duty of each n every man to refrain
from making statements regarding
this trouble that might In any way in
crease the load that these leaders
have upon their shoulders at the pres
ent time. .
. Not Involved
The Instructions which we have
from our officers are that we are not
directly involved in this controversy,
and that we must not do or say any
thing that in any way may embarrass
u organization. Now. after the presf-
dent Of our Organization has taken
this stand, on the question, Is it fair
TO the members of this organization
that articles Of the above mentioned
kind be written, which"no doubt have

RULING IS MADE ON
CIVIL WAR WIDOWS
(By The Associated Press)

Washington. Aug. 19.-The secre-
tary Of the interior has just. rendered
a very interesting opinion relating t 0
former widows of veterans of the civil
war. = = I.3gee.
Under the act of May /, 1920. such
a widow must show that all subse-
quent marriages have been dissolved,
obtained without default on her part.
The records Of the courts Of the var
o states, both under the act Of 1920
and prior legislation, have been ac-'
cepted by the bureau of pensions as
conclusive where the husband obtain
ed the divorce from the wife, as show
ing fault on the part of the wife.
The secretary now rules, however,
that where the husband moved into
some other state than that where the
wife resided and obtained service by
publication, and there is nothing in
the record to show actual service on.
the wife, the wife would be entitled:
to make a showing that she raj not
at fault and that such showing could
be made In the pension. bureau itself.
The case in which the, decision was
rendered is that of Mary NJ. as former
widow OF William Keaton.swho died in
1879. Several years afterward the wid-
ow married a man named Irwin in
Missouri. Irwin subsequently moved
to Oklahoma, and in 1904 obtained a
divorce without knowledge on the
part Of his wife.
Under the former practice, the Wild
ow would be denied the pension be-
cause the husband obtained the d.
vorce. Under the present ruling, the
widow will be entitled to make a
showing, as a matter Of fact, that she
was not at fault. il.
Another interesting opinion Of the
secretary is in the reversal OF de-
cision bfs the bureau 0fspensions and
the permission OF a pension to ClAi-
borne .Beaty; OF Captain David Beaty's
Independent company Of scouts.
Captain David Beatty organized his
scouts In 1862, and the company rem
dered service under5the command of
the Army OF Tennessee through the
Civil war. The troops. however. were
never mustered into the regular mill
tary service Of the Unitedf States, and
consequently the scouts had no status
under the pension laws.
In 1870, however, ansactf was passed
for the relief OF Beaty's scouts, giving
them the same status ~ other sol
diers. The pensionAbureau, neverthe-
less, held for many years that this did
not permit OF pensions ~ the scouts,
except as to prior .legialation. Secrer
ftary Fall has nov decided that under
the language Of the act the benefits
OF the pensionslaws. whether passed
prior to THAT time or since. come with
In EhegpurytewS OF that act and that the
scouts are entitled to relief 3thereun-

LAD FIGURING"
EUROPE TO BE
RETURNED HOME

Paris, Aug. 22.-(By the Associ-
ated Press. )-When 1~4-year-old.
Herman Jasper ran away from his
home in Blnghampton. bound for a
personally conducted sightseeing tour
Of Europe. he did not visualize his
journey as ending in a garbage
on the Boulevard des Italiens in
Paris. T -' AWE
But that is where a policeman
found him wrapped in peaceful
slumber at 4 o'clock this morning
and now Herman is awaiting COM

to Binghampton.
The adventurous youth crossed the
Atlantic as a stowaway on the liner
Finland. He was discovered during
the voyage and was detained at
Antwerp for deportation but escaped,
going to Brussels and thence over
the French frontier. At ,Hirson he
was again captured, this time by
gendarmes, but once more showed
his elusiveness, finally reaching Paris.

to look upon the members Of this
order as men who have mo heart or
principle. One of the principal
places referred to In the different ar
ticles on this trouble is Needles. Arr
zcna. One article went on and told
life had beenssaved away out there
on the desert because they had been
able to- locate an engineer who had
Just a little more milk at his home
than he needed for his own use. Can
you imagine an engineer, running an
engine for the Sante &Fe railway COM
'pany, living out ,on the desert?
Needles Division Point
Another article told how the train
had been deserted at Needles and
the passengers were without ice or
icing points on the Sante Fe for all
of their fruit trains and it is not like
.ly would find themselves entirely out
of ice with a temperature~of around
104. And this being a division point,
n the home of the railroad men
who operate these trains and who live
here twelve months out of the year.
it Is mo- likely that the provisions in
this town would be Town to reach u
low point which. would make it i'm
possible to take care Of couple of
trainloads Of people who happened
to stay there over night. One article
went on and suggested that the older
men should throw these men out of
the organization. : Ny knowledge of
the seniority rule, which Is the main
sticker In the shop crafts reaching a
settlement, leads me to believe that
the men who. hold the position of
running the through train from Chi.
.cago to San Francisco on the. Sante
Fe. are likely to be men pretty well
along in years themselves, and men
who are capable of determining as to
ment fs in a safe condition to continue
the trip across the desert or have it
fail at a point where there were none
of the mentioned accommodations.
You then would have a condition that
the papers are trying toS make the
public believe exists now. If the men,
bers of these different organizations
have violated their contracts by re-
fusing to take these trains out of
their terminals with power and equip
ment that has been proven to be in
a. safe condition, then it il the duty,
and no doubt it will be seen to by
thetr TeSpective ORDERS that thsir
membership is taken from them. '
Should Get Facts
Taking into consideration that the
bylaws provide a way to handle these
cases that might arise, it does not ap-
pear as though 1t Is up to any man,
or group Of men in North Dakota, or
Minnesota. to charge, try and convict
a group of men in Arizona without
first being in possession Of the facts
concerning the conditions under
which these men have refused to OPP
crate their trains. So let us not do
or say anything to help far the flames
Of discomfort that might in any way
result in keeping out this wave of
prosperity which we have been look
ing for and no doubt will receive as
soon as this trouble is settled.
Thanking o in advance for your
efforts in having this matter proper
IL brought before the members of the

to remain, y

asked to analyze Mrs. Mills character

eyes, and said she was not good at an
