EXECUTIVES May ASK
CUTS IN RAIL WAGES
(By United Prcss)

Washinton, May 22-By Herbert
Walker - Reductions in railroad
wages may be asked by the rail-
road executives before they will
agree to freight rate cuts desired
by Harding, it was learned here to-
day. 1t became known that the
executives were rather reluctant to
approve as large reductions in the
rates as the President wants.
The railroad executives also were
said to have raised another objection
to big cut in rates, namely, that the
production would cause increased traf-
fic nccessitating increased equipment,
which could not be obtained if rates
were reduced.
The strongest objection would be
raised to reduction in the pay roll
!, of the railroad workers, it was said at
the headquarters Of the railroad bro
therhood. Leaders hold the gencr-
al pay roll has been greatly cut
while the rates are only slightly I'M

LEGION TO BURN WOODEN
MEMORIALS TO SOLDIERS

=. Indianapolis, Ind, May 20 Omitted
'Press)-On Memorial Day the old
wooden war memorials that glittered
with painted carving in 1919 are to
be burned in accordance with mill
tary regulations by various posts of
the American Legion, according to
reports received at national head
quarters of the Legion.
These memorials were built in
many instances in the early days of
the armistice, and bore on wooden
panels the names of the local dead
Of the servicet Of late they have
fallen into decay, having been cree
ted merely as temporary memorials.
Souvenir hunters have already mark
out the carved eagles on top of them
for mantlepiece ornaments.
The Legionaires remember the ar
my regulations which provide that
old American flags too shabby for
display are to be burned, so that the
torn pieces may never be scattered
or soiled.

WALKER DEMONSTRATION
SATURDAY SUCCESSFUL
Various Contests at Ten.triks
Today Expected to Have
Plenty of Entrants ,

Bemidji was we'll represented at
the land clearing demonstration at
Tenstrike today, large number Of
automobiles leaving here this fore
noon, others following later in the
day. The all-day demonstration de-
gan at 10 o'clock and the latest
devices for clearing and brushing
land were demonstrated. The farm
of Merton Ketchum, just west Of the
village, was the scene of operations.
Representatives from nearly every
community in.the southern half OF
the county gathered there and saw
practical demonstrations, showing
what could be done in land clearing
if the necessity demanded. However,
the demonstrations are not intended
as an example of how the work
should be carried out proftably by
the settlers themselves. They mere
ly showed what could be done.
The land clearing train of the Uni
versity of Minnesota was present
giving demonstrations Of various
kinds. Various farm club units en-
tered teams in the various contests
for which prizes were offered. Din
ner was served at noon by the ladies'
of the Tenstrike Presbyterian and
Lutheran churches,
Altogether very profitable day
was spent by those who attended.
The saxaphone section of the Be-
midi Juvenile band and several
drummers, under the direction of
G. O. Riggs. furnished a musical pro-
gram throughout the day. A COM
plete report Of the events, the win
ners Of the contests, and similar
featurea will be published tomorrow.
The demonstration given by the
university land clearing train at
Walker last Saturday was witnessed
by five or six hundred farmers and
others from Walker and vicinity.
One of the most interesting features
of this demonstration was the blowing
under Of heavy brush with breaking
plows hitched to tractors Of differ
ent types. 1t was hard pulling, but
the tractors got away with it. Far
mers are adopting the method TO-
some extent, where the brush is not
too heavy, The farmers, however,
instead of using tractors use three
horses and plows which turn mar
rover furrow than those employed
ut the demonstration.
Other features of the Walker DEM
onstration were the blasting of an
acre Of old pine stumps, the cutting
of brush with heavy mower design
ed especially for such work, the use
of tractor and hand stump pullers,
rock and ditch blasting, the piling
of stumps with tractors the breaking
of new land disking, and the use of
roller harr0ws and round disks.

|DAIICHERTY ACCUSED OF
AIDING MORSE PARDON
Senator Caraway of Arkansas
to Support Charge Against
Daugherty and Fielder
(By United Press)

Washington. May 22-More docu-
ments to support the charge that At
torney General Daugherty and Thom-
as B. Fielder, Alabama attorney, had
a contract with Charles w. Morse,
through which they were to receive
$25, 900 to obtain his release from
the penitentary in 1912, will be
placed before the house this week,
Senator Caraway of Arkansas said
today.
Caraway caused a stir in political
circles here Saturday by reading to
the senate from photo static, copies
Of documents signed by Daugherty
and Fielder, which he said showed
the Attorney General helped to OBJ
tain the Morse pardon.
Republican leaders in the senate
are expected to confer today as to
how to. meet Caraway's continued
attacks. His charges Saturday were
made in the face of statements by
Senior Watson of Indiana who said
the attorney general told him he was
not in any way connected with the
Morse pardon.
Caraway's presentation Of the al
legged Daugherty letter and the Daug-
erty-Felder contract already has
caused friction between the depart
ment of justice and Republican sem
ate leaders. Early today it vas said
at the department of justice there
was no statement from Daugherty
in reply to the charges from Cara
way. The attorney general has re-
fused to discuss the natter.

WOMAN GOES ON TRIAL
FOR RELATIVES DEATH
Indiana Woman Charged With
= Having Poisoned Husbands
and Father-in-Law

Shelbyyille, Ind, May % Omitted
Press)-Clara Gibson Carl, whose
two husbands and father-in-law died
with arsenic in their intestines, was
to face the judge here today in anoth.
er alleged "femine bluebeard' case
State attorneys will endeavor to
prove:
i. That she poisoned Alonzo
Carl, the father of Frank, her second
husband. in order that share of
his insurance and estate would revert
to Frank.
2. That she then poisoned Frank
to procure his property and insur-
;ance, planning both murders meth.
odically to receive the full financial
benefit from them.
8. That she fed arsenic to the old
man first rather than to her hus-
band, becaused to have reversed the
order in which they died would have
caused her to lose nearly two-thirds
of the property both men possessed
in it's distribution among other heirs.
No charge has been filed in con-
nection with the death of her other
husband, Robert Gibson, but acqult-
tai of the charge she now faces is
expected to result in similar action
being taken.
Similarity of the deaths of the
three men aroused suspicion and
their bodies were exhumed. Each
was said to have died from kidney
trouble and to have suffered extreme
pains, in their intestines.
Down in Hiawatha, Kas., grave
diggers brought up the bodies OF
Frank Carl and his father. Their
,stomachs were streaked with arsenic
chemists reported.
The widow was arrested and a
grand jury indictment was returned
in Hancock county.
Subsequently Gibsons' body was
exhumed at Jacksonville, Ohio, and in
it too arsenic was found. No addi-
tional charge was preferred against
the accused woman at the time, IN
view of the indictment she faced.
Mrs. Carl is as. She and Robert
Gibson used to romp and play in
Jacksonville. In their youth they
were sweethearts. Later they were
married anu Cney WeHI ouL luto mali
sas.
There Gibson died and his remains
were shipped back home for burial
in the family cemetery lot. Then
Frank Carl went accounting. They
were married and the elder Curl
died. Soon after Frank died on his
farm near Greenfield, Ind. The bod
les were taken to Kansas for burial
They both had complained of pains
in their backs.
Mrs. Carl wrote letters to friends
telling them of the circumstances OF
Franks death. Something in one
letter received in Greenfield result
ed in her arrest. ' ...
The state relies upon this letter
and the mystery statement as one
of it's trump cards..

LA SALE COUNTRY ASKS
GOOD ROAD TO BEMIDJl
Committee from Local Civic
and Commerce Association
Surveys Territory

A committe of eight men left Fri
day morning for the LaSalle country,
west of Bccda in Hubbard and Clear
water counties, representing the Be-
midi Civic and Commerce Associa-
ton upon an invitation from the
farmers in that vicinity, with view
to determining shorter route to
Bemidji.
This community is sadly in need
of good roads to connect up with
the trunk highways, as some of the
settlers are compelled to travel from
two to ten miles out of their way
to reach Bemidji markets.
A careful survey of the territory
of E. H, Winter, W.. z. Robinson,
r. L., Given, L. B. Wilson, E. r.
Evans, E. H. Dcnu, David Gill and
F r. Duxbury. These men travelled
on foot through some of the finest
land that lies out of doors, and found
that the appeal made by these set
tiers is well founded and deserving
of the utmost consideration on the
part of the citizens of Bemidji.
They need about three miles of
road in order to connect up with
the main trunk highways leading into
Bemdji. They need help to con-
struct these roads and are deserving
of it. The farmers have already
begun cutting out for the roads and
have graded about a mile connecting
up with the jefferson Highway near
Becida.
They will need about mile and
half more to strike the county
line and then at the other end Of the
county line road the farmers in Bear
Creek township will complete the
needed work to connect up with the
county line road.
This will enable nearly 200 farm
crs to reach Bcmidji as their market,
which city they desire to reach and
every effort on the part of the citi-
zens of this city should be made to
see that the work is done.
