Danish Lutheran church attended
by a large concourse of relatives

west village limits. and were re
turning to the Christensen home
in the center of the village where
all FIVE made their home. They
left the Andersen home about
$50 or shortly thereafter. When
they reached the corner Of r
Pedersen's store, travelling east
ward, they looked to see if there
were any trains approaching. II
was dark night. and as they
thought there were no trains
they continued. but apparently
the engine of the oncoming
freight was right back of the
section house a short distance
from the depot and crossing,
with the light thus obstructed.
When the car neared the crossing
and the two in the front seat
were in full view of the railroad
they saw the train approaching
and suddenly Christensen applied
the brakes. 1t is possible that
this was instrumental in stalling
the motor. and just then they
realized that the front wheels of
the car were on the track. Jen-
sen and Christensen Immediately
jumped out Of the car and ran to
the rear to open the door to get
out the women. When the door
was opened the women had
crawled over the front seat and
were on their way out through
the front. Apparently they had
not yet realized the danger, hav-
ing no view to the side. Just
then the crash came and for sew
eral moments it was a storm of
confusion.
Olga Andersen was evidently
struck in the head by some part

by Peter Jensen on the road only
a few feet from the accident.

anxiety and grief could not find

heard the crash came running to

The administrators tax reduc-
ton bill, which formerly held
first place in the attentions of
the reading public. has been re-
ported to the House from the
Ways and Means committee.
Though this measure directly eff
fects every taxpayer, its inn
portance has been lessened some
what because of the tremendous
appeal of political scandal in the
oil case. Putting vital tax legis-
lation in second place may be ex-
planned, perhaps, by the old
proverb, "On eagles wings inn
mortal scandals fly, while virtu-
Gus actions are but born and die"
The tax bill now pending in
the House contains the Mellon
income rates which were disput-
ed in committee. A provision
has been inserted in the bill cut
ting the income taxes to be paid
this year by 25 per cent. The
changes made by the Ways and
Means committee remove the
Board of Tax Appeals from the
Treasury Department making
the President directly respons-
ible for their appointment. The
committee only partially repeal
ed the tax on admissions and re-
duced. but did not repeal a num-
Der of miscellaneous excise taxes

of the administration for

hibiting the issue of tax-exempt
securities will find obstacles in
the way of its enactment. In

leader, insisted that the proposal
