PARK BOARD COOL
 TOWARD NEW PARK

 Project, Members Declare

That the board of park commis- sioners has no desire to take over surplus lands at the Washington school site for new park at this time was clearly indicated today in public statements by Chairman Will fam F, Brooks and Commissioner Msswell S. Porter. who acts as vice. chairman Of that commission.
 The common council has passed resolution calling upon the mayor to name a committee of five members 10 consult with the school and park boards to bring about the transfer and provide new park in the northwestern section of the city.
 Yesterday Chairman Joseph Nj, Halloran of the school accomoda- tions committee of the. school board declared himself as agreeable to a temporary transfer of the use of those grounds as park, but did not favor any action liable to take from the school board the right 10 re- cover the land at any time the need for school additions might be felt.
 Chairman Brooks believes the "only sensible" thing to do Is to all low the use of the land as a park on a temporary basis, but that only when the park board Is provided 1,-i ,,I 1.h rf f1cient time is given 10 prepare the vast acreage for park purposes. Asked 1T hts commission has funds on hand 10 begin work on develop ment Of the grounds. Mfr, Brooks replied with emphasis; q should say not.'
 Mir. Brooks sad his department couldn't possibly make use Of the ground this year. because it has neither the time nor the money. Commissioner Porter said the { question Of such transfer has never come before the board. Per- sonally, he would not he in favor Of taking on any more park lands un- til the work now in progress is cleaned up. he stated. The commits sioner said the park department has no present use for the land and

Cape Ciris-Nez Fraice, Aug IS LP Gertrude Ederle. r. year old New York mermaid began her attempt to swim the English channel this morning, entering the water here at 1909 o'clock,
 Awakened from sound sleep at i q. m. she seemed the only person among the hundreds gathered at her training camp to be unaffected by the bustle Of preparation,
 She sat down to a breakfast of well-done apple friters and weak tea, and as she arose from the table she said
 I'm already for t. Bring on your old channel'
 Just before boarding the tug La Marinie, which brought her to the starting point, she noticed that she had donned her skirt wrong side out, Asked hv her chaperon. Miss Niets, if she cared to return to her rooms and set 1t right, she replied:

 The scene about the tug was like that attending the departure of an ocean liner.
 There were fully 100 persons aboard, including officials. cores pondents, cameramen, friends and well -Wishers
 AS soon as Miss Elerle stepped aboard, the captain gave the word to cast off, and Ia Marinie glided out of the harhor hound for the cape.
 The channel from th,s point to Dover is roughly twenty miles In width. Its shifting tides and icy currents have haffled every woman swimmer in tho past. and few men have been able 70 conquer it.

H G. Bullard. The money was for trans porting Mrs, Bullard from Hankov, China, where her husband was re tired, to West Virginia.

Farmers Charged With Driving Mar

Robert Larson Acts AS Lawyer Of
Farmers and Has Case Dismissed.
3 County Attorney Erickson paid a
Visit to the justice court of Medicine
Lake last Tuesday to try a case
which has reused considerable inter-
est in the. eastern part, Of the county.
August Bender and &C. &C. Martin
charged John Eggan, AndTeas Sweet
and the Slower. Brothers with driving
their cattle into North Dakota, where
they are at present impounded. The
defendants claimed that the plaintiffs
were running their cattle all over
their defendants pastures and that
there was nothing to. stop plaintiffs
from going. to North Dakota to get
their cattle if they paid pound fees.
CASE DISMISSED.
When the plaintiffs had given their
evidence, a motion was made to dis
miss the action by Robert Larson,
who was present. This is the first
time Rep. Larson has acted as a law
yer and. he seems to be as effective
as an attorney as he was in fighting
the political crooks in the legislature
last winter.
