FURTHER INVESTIGATION

e. L IhOmpson or Fayelte county appeared to ask a slight change in location of the road from Fayette to Winfield, and Senator Adams re- quested further investigation of loca- tions before letting the contract for the Birmingham Montgomery high way through Chiffon county. St was stated that consideration will be given to both requests.
 Judge Fuller of Chambers county appeared heading a delegation seek ing the construction of a little over 8 mile of road from the end of fed eral aid project 102 to West Point, Ga.

The commission heard delega- tion of Montgomery citizens, includ- ing D. c. Allen, president of the county board of revenue, and L. C.. Cardinal, president of the Chamber of Commerce, who urged the build ing of a road to connect the Roy bridge over the Alabama river near Montgomery, through western El- more and eastern Artauga county, to a point near Marbury, along the line of the old Birmingham Mont gomery highway which will be abandoned as a result of the new location via Reese's ferry. It was claimed that this road can be put into shape so as to facilitate travel between Montgomery and Birming- ham much sooner than the main trunk line highway can be built via Reese's ferry.
 The commission granted the re- quest of Judge l.. H. Reynolds of Chiffon county for two trucks for the county to use in highway work.
 George Robinson of Baldwin coun- ty appeared before the commission in the interest of the completion of the survey from Stockton to Bay Minette. MT. Robinson stated that the Baldwin county board of revenue is willing to appropriate $100,000 to aid in completing the survey.

tire, last Thursday morning, about
400 o'clock, while attempting to
cross the track ahead of the east
bound morning passenger with
Fordson tractor, died at the Home
School hospital Sunday morning at
200 o'clock.
Herald readers will recall that fol-
lowing the accident the young man
was rushed to the hospital where
Drs. Dubois amputated his right
arm above the elbow. The injury had
practically severed the arm but it
was necessary to go above the elbow
as the bones in the lower arm were
badly shattered.
At the time of the operation it
was expected that the injured man
would recover. His mother arrived
from Eden Valley on Friday and he
was so much improved Saturday
evening that she had expected to
telephone the rest of the family Sun

sary to come and see him as he was
recovering nicely. About midnight
Saturday evening a sudden turn for
the worse developed and he passed
away as indicated above, at 200
o'clock. An autopsy conducted by
the Drs. Dubois over the remains
disclosed the fact that the deceased
had suffered a badly fractured skull
at the base of the brain and that at
no time did he have chance of re-
covery.
The deceased was but little known
in this community as he came from
Eden Valley to take employment at
the Home School farm April 18th,
this year. He was % years of age
and had made many friends with
those of the community with whom
he came in contact. The remains
were taken to the home of his par
ents at Eden Valley where the fun
eral was conducted from the Irish
Catholic church on Tuesday of this
week. Those from Sank Centre at
tending the funeral were: Alphonse
Nathe, Aired Kreuger, Vincent Marx,
Mrs. Carlson of the Home School, and
Mr.. and Mrs. Mike Henry.

AS predicted in the Herald last
week, Gov. J. A. o. Preus has issued
call for a special election of the
United States Senate to fill the place
made vacant by the death of Senator
Knute Nelson of Alexandria. Under
the call the primaries will be held
Monday, June 18th, and the election
on Monday July 18th. S.
Former Congressman Charles A.
Lindbergh and Congressman Schall
were the first candidates to deposit
500. 90 with the Secretary of State
for the privilege of filing. Mr.. Lind
bergh has filed as a Farmer Labor
candidate. -.
Something of bombshell was
thrown into the ranks of Gov. Preus
Sunday evening when the announce
ment was made that Sidney Ander-
son, wide awake congressman from
the First congressional district filed
as Republican candidate for sena-
tor.
Monday, Judge Oscar Hallam, who
is one of the best known and one of
the most highly respected citizens of
the state, rendered his resignation as
associate justice of the Minnesota
Supreme court to take effect May
25th, and announced that he would
file as a candidate for Senator Nell
sons place. The governor immed-
lately named Captain Royal l..
Stone, formerly of Morris, later an
assistant attorney general, and still
later member of the law firm of
Young O'Brien & Stone, st. Paul, to
succeed Judge Hallam. The appoint
ment of Mr.. Stone is high grade one
and will receive general commenda-
ton. In this connection, it may be of
intereststo know that Mr.. Stone is a
brother-in-law of DR. H. L. Lamb,
formerly Of this city.
Gov. Preus announced from Can
by Wednesday that he would file for
the senate as soon as he would re-
turn to the State capitol, probably
Thursday. The radical of the radical
element of the state are getting back
of Magnus Johnson, the Farm and
Labor, who gave Gov. Preus such a
scare at the last general election. Mr..
Johnson is the poorest candidate of
any Of those mentioned for the place.

element was in favor of not placing
a candidate in the field for sena-

him the most formidable candidate
they had for the place. While Mr..
Carley possesses modesty, there is a

ANOTHER SHIP TO PANAMA FLAG

The ineffectiveness of the present merchant marine
policy of the United States more emphasized by the
recent announcement that another passenger liner
registered under the Panama faghe Cleveland recently
purchased by United American lines for service be-
tween New York and Hamburg. The president of the
lines H. NJ Robinson says:
1--WE cannot afford to put the Cleveland under the
American flag although as an American company we
would naturally prefer to do could justify it as
a business proposition. We have reached this con-
cusion with genuine regret after giving the matter
very thorough consideration The general burden
of handicaps American ships in foreign service is
now heavier than ever Congress failed to pass the
subsidy bill which designed to offset the handi-
caps against American shipping and to place
the owners of American ships basis of equal COM
petition with foreign owners.
"Since the failure of the subsidy bill the cost of
operating American ships has been increased by ad-
vances in American marine wages while European
wages have been reduced. So it looks if sound
business policy would necessitate our operating un-
der foreign flag with our passenger liners until
the disadvantages of American registry are removed
until some aid is given to Offset the effects of these
disadvantages"
During the IL months ended May last the value of
waterborne foreign carried in American vessels

worth of goods.

that in interest on her war debt.
About 56OOOO0O tons of American vessels entered and
cleared ports during the II months of which more
than 20OO0000 tons tanker trade leaving &c.
100000 tons handling the overseas rade while 100000
tons of foreign vessels entered and cleared.
The Democratic fbuster of the ship subsidy bill is
rapidly bringing about the results expected notwithstand
ing continuance of government operation
