VICTORY GIRLS TO
GIVE HARD-BOILED
BOWERY DANCE

The Italian Girls Victory club is
giving a bowery dance at the Labor
Temple, Saturday, May ~. All those
who attend are to be dressed as hard
boiled eggs of the bowery, so come on
all you toughs, or would be tough gals
and fellas and strut your stuff.
Sunday afternoon Eddie Pelo, Anna
belle Lahti and Katie Psenda drove
around the horn and tackled up bills
in the neighboring towns advertising
the bowery dance, and they report
that everywhere they went the young
folks were enthused with the prospects
of having one grand time. In fact, it
looks as though all roads will lead to
Red Lodge Saturday night and that
the dance will be "the talk of the
town."

dangered the peace of Europe and
the good relations of Great Britain
with the United States has failed.
Former Premier David Lloyd
George moved the declaration as an
amendment to the reply to the ad-
dress from the throne. After a
sharp debate on British policy be-
tween Prime Minister Stanley Bald
win and Mr.. Lloyd George, the
amendment was defeated 326 to 1853.
Mr.. Lloyd George asked commons
to express official regret that the
accord with France had abandoned
the principle Of limiting small SUBJ
marines, cruisers and other naval
vessels.
I'VE have been guilty." Mr.. Lloyd
George said, "of something which
has driven America, through it's

of additional cruisers"
Mr.. Baldwin in reply spoke of the
Anglo-French agreement in the past
tense, calling attention to the fact
that he was doing SO. He said it
had been IAN honest straightfor-

al Bank Of Parshall, was recon-
mended by Assistant District Attor-

ONLY FOUR LIFE
BOATS WERE LOWERED

New York, Nov. 14.-(AP)-Only
four lifeboats were lowered from the
sinking steamer Vestris, one sur
vivor reported today. One Of those
was stove in while being lowered and
two others capsized, throwing their
occupants into the water. A fifth
boat broke away from the ship and
many swimming passengers climbed
into it.
The information about the life
boats was given by T. E. Mack, an
electrical construction superintend-
ent in Brazil whose home is in
Teckla, Wyo., with his co-worker, O.
L. Maxey Of Richmond, Va, he was
rescued by the steamer Berlin.
Mack said that the Vestris was
battered by such a storm soon after
she left New York Saturday that
she soon began to list and last Sum
day the waves washed the furniture
in the dining salon overheard. All
that night the storm continued to
rage.

Flax Tariff Increase

st. Paul, Nov. 14.-(AP)-Gover-
nor Christianson today directed N.
j. Holmberg, state commissioner of
agriculture, to appear before the
tariff commission at Washington
Dec. 5 to urge an increase in the
tariff on flaxseed from 40 to 60
cents per bushel.
The governor has urged an in
crease of the duty on flaxseed re-
peatedly in messages to the COM
mission.
Mr.. Holmberg said that at pres
ent flaxseed from the Argentine
and other foreign agricultural
centers can be laid down at the At
lantic seaboard as cheaply as from
Minnesota because of high freight
rates in the middle west.

Gas Tax Amendment
Appears Defeated

st. Paul, Nov. 14.-(P)-An av-
alanche Of more than 100000 votes
cast in the November 6 election in
Minnesota apparently has defeated
the proposed gasoline tax amend
ment, known as amendment No. l.
Unofficial tabulations of the total
vote cast in Minnesota indicate it
will approximate 1,118,O00, whereas
the gasoline tax amendment, needing
one-half the total vote cast to carry,
had only 540,784 votes in 3,739 Of

responsible for the leak that tipped
the ship over on its beamends and
made it necessary for the 120 pas
sengers and 1879 crew members, of
whom 108 are still unaccounted for,
to abandon ship.
Other opinions were that leak,
small at first, enlarged for no par
ticular reason as the ship proceeded
ind cause an increasing list.
There were reports among the sur
vivors that the pumps had not
worked well when the hold began to
fill, and some even told Of frantic
efforts to bail out the great ship
with hand buckets.
No Panic
+ All agreed that there was no panic
and that women and children were
given precedence in obtaining po-
sitions in the lifeboats.
Carlos Quiros, chancellor Of the
Argentine consulate general, who
was a passenger on the Vestris and
was saved by the Berlin, said that
the outstanding hero Of the disaster
was Second Steward Alfred Duncan
of the Vestris. Duncan, he said,
conducted himself with utmost COM
posture throughout the trying hours
and helped many Of the women and
children to the boats.
There was some criticism among
the survivors on the Berlin, notably
that by Quiros; but on the whole
this group was strong in its praise
of the way in which captain and
crew Of the Vestris had acted. There
was no such general criticism as that
made by the survivors on the Ameri-
can Shipper.
Quiros said perfect order did not
prevail at all times, in one instance
five negro passengers from the
third class taking a lifeboat all to
themselves in their haste to get
away from the sinking ship.
Trouble Lowering Boats
There was some difficulty with
lowering the lifeboats, according to
Quiros. Two little craft hung in
the davits and then it was found i'm
possible to lower them to the water.
The passengers had to scramble
back to the fitting. wave-washed
deck to wait their turns in other
boats.
Some of the passengers reported
that one of the lifeboats had q hole
in it and planks had to be nailed
over the aperture before it could
be launched, leaking dangerously
and beginning to sink before it was
100 feet from the Vestris, which lay
lurching in the waves with steam
spouting from its portfolios.
Duncan, the steward reported to
have been the last to leave Captain
Carey on the bridge of the Vestris,
and the man so highly praised by
Quiros, told of seeing to the needs
of the passengers. He said that be-
fore they took to the boats each
passenger was given some sweet
crackers, a bunch Of bananas, bis
cults, and water.
After he leaped in the water Dun
can continued his ministrations to
the passengers. Swimming to one
lifeboat crowded with almost 100
persons, he ordered some of them
out, to swim to another partly filled
boat, lest all be swamped. The stew
ard swan around for several hours
before he was picked up by lifeboat

Supreme Court Hears
Purchase Case Today

Hearing was being held today by
the supreme court in the case Of
George H. Purchase, Fort Yates,
who has started action in an effort
to be reinstated as Sioux county
states attorney.
Indications are hearing of evil
dence will be completed late this
afternoon and the decision will prob
ably be announced the latter part Of
the week.
Purchase was removed from Of
flee about year ago by the late
Governor Sorlie after a charge Of
drunkenness and neglect in official
ing as the county official was made
against him. He appealed to Judge

called in Judge Fred Jansonius,

Purchase.
William LANCER, Bismarck, has
been retained by number Of Sioux
county officials to fight against
Purchases reinstatement.
