TEACHERS SEEKING
COMP PENSAT|ON AID
Union Contends They Are
Unable to Comply With
Laws Provisions.

CQntending that the Federal compen-
sation act as it relates to teachers in
the District public school system is not
being enforced because the administra-
ton Of the laws provisions does not
permit teachers to comply with its re-
quirements, the Washington Teachers
Union has petitioned Dr.. Frank w, Bal
lou, superintendent of schools, to post
copies of the act in every school and
to supply each school building with a
quantity of blanks on which injured
teachers must file notice of their in
jury for the consideration of the COM
pcnSation board.
According to the teachers, the pro-
visions Of the compensation act under
which they may benefit in event Of in
Jury received during the course of their
duties as instructors, require an injured
teacher to fill out and return to the
compensation board within 48 hours of
the injury, for application for consd-
Grafton by the board. Unless this pro-
vision is complied with. they say. the
inference is given that their claims cam
not be allowed
lIle caCIleTS claim tney CANNOT
comply with this provision because the
buildings in which they are employed
have no blanks, because the blanks can
not be obtained at the Franklin Ad-
ministration Building or at the office
of Maj. Daniel J. Donovan, District
auditor, through which the claims must
pass, nor. so far as they have been able
to determine. at any other office in the
District Building
The teachers base their claim on the
experiences of the Business High School
teachers who were stricken with poison
ing following the high school cadet
supper served at that school last Spring.

FEAR TANKER

 OCEAN STORM

 by Searchers

BOSTON. Oct. 24.-Fear is ex- pressed for the safety of the Am eriean tanker David c. Leid, with 45 meR aboard, last heard from in the mid-Atlantic during heavy gale on October 15, ac- eording to Capt. Thomas Germain of the American steamship West Canifax which arrived today from Alexandria, Egypt
 Capt Germain said on October 14, the West Canifax picked up an sos" from the tanker saying she was sinking in a position not far from the Azores.

INHALER COMES HERE; IN GALE,
 SHORT OF OIL
Capt. Halfred Arrives Here from Westward Whal-
 ing Station

Steaming on the last few bar rels of fuel oil, the whaler Aber- deen, docknd in Juneau last night. Capt. A. Halfred report ed eneountering one of the worst storms of his sea experiences in bringing his ship from Port Hob ron, Kodiak Island Leaving the Port Hebron whaling station Oc- tober IS, the small ship ran into what was apparently the center of an intense storm area in the Gulf of Alaska. Capt. Halfred was forced to heaye his ship too and ride at sea anchor for six days during which time the storm increased to hurricane force.
 With just enough fuel oil in the tanks to reach Juneau, he was finally forced to steam into seas that at times threatened to swamp the ship. During the storm the barometer feil to 2S.90. This low pressure lasted for sev- eral days and reached a still lower point on last Saturday night when the wind increased to even greater violence lasting until Monday midnight.
 The Aberdeen is one of fleet of three ships that have been whaling during the past summer in the vicinity Of Kodiak Island. Capt Halfred stated that the sea son was fairly good but the pre- vailing bad weather prevented the taking of a record catch. The ship will take on fuel oil here and will leave for Seattle some time tomorrow.

WASHINGTON LETTER
Continued from Page -

CONTINUED from rage -
next month is calculated to stimulate
the hosts OF lawyers who maintain
offices here. The docket is heavily
laden with important cases. Atten-
ton is also directed to the ANNOUNCE
ed retirement of Mr.. Justice Oliver
Wendell Holmes from the highest
tribunal at the age of 81. This dis
tinguished jurist was seriously wound
ed while serving as captain in the
Union army in the Civil war. He was
appointed to the Supreme bench by
President Roosevelt in 1902 and is
still hale and hearty. His retirement
during the term of President Coolidge
will be observed by all politicians and
the legal profession, because appoint
ment to the highest court is an honor
reserved for a few in a generation.
Even a former President now Chief
Justice Taft was quick to accept the
post.
The senate and house office build
ings are practically deserted these
days with their occupants back home
in an endeavor to hold their places.
The few secretaries and clerks rmain-
ing here are busy mailing circulars
and reprints of speeches designed to
aid the campaigns. 1t is sometimes
helpful to take the secretaries to the
home district because they can spend
their time telling the neighbors what
an important parsonage represents the
district at Washington. The postal
laws allow Legislators and federal de-
partments to mail hundreds of tons
each year without cost but the tax
payer foots the bill.

Pine County Pioneer
Composed Fitting Verses

]. H. Frisendahl, of Sandstone, and
one of our real early pioneers of Pine
county, having come to Danforth
township before the Hinckley fire, has
written a poem that is very appro-
pirate at this time considering the
proposed ST. Lawrence-Great Lakes
Waterway project. Mr.. Frisendahl is
past the four score years mark, but
as the following verses will attest, is
very active in his thoughts for this
country. He received his inspira-
ton while sitting in one of the Blu
luth theaters and Immediately went
to his home and composed this poem:
The City of Duluth.
BY the great expanse of water
On the Lake Superior shore,
Where Du Luth, the missionary,
Met the Indians of yore,.
There now stands a lofty City.
Builded on the solid rocks,
With it's traffic and it's merchants
And it's harbors, ships and docks;
Where the Indian wigwam rested
In the shade of noble trees,
Now are high and towering castles
Busy as the hives of bees.
Where the denizens of the forest
In their freedom had their sway,
There the traffic of the City, hustles
Through the streets its way
Where the Indian had their pathways
Over hills and dells and wales,
Now the monsters of the commerce
Wend their way on shining rails.
Where the stately pines once nestled
On the pinnacles on high
Now the churches built for worship
Stretch their spires against the sky
Where the Indian campfires cleaned
'Mong the trees upon the height
Thousand dazzling lights now rival
Heavens splendor in the night.
OO, III NOIlil Ouo SAieAA0S oiS -petooih
Scenes, like movies on the screen,
And the bygone day and present
In single glance are seen.
Should you dare to lift the curtain,
Which conceals the future view,
You may yet behold more changes,
Still more wonderful to you;
You will see the ocean steamers
From the marts of distant seas,
With their flags of many colors
Flying gaily in the breeze,
With their cargoes for the barter
For the riches of the soil;
For the products manufactured
From the mines, by brain and toll.
Come to pay their humble tribute
To the Queen so fair and bold,
Who, at head of mighty waters,
Bids them welcome in her fold.
So, a glorious future waits you
And your people kind and true
In the City on the mountain
BY the sparkling water blue.
j. H. Frisendahl.

so far no trace of them has been
found.
A similar theft was perpetrated last
fall, when one of the farmers of that
community lost three of his cows,
which were found grazing in the past
ure along the roadside. This time
the thieves used automobile head
lights for spotting the victims and
made their escape via Willow River
after which the trail was lost on the
pavement.
Losses of this nature aggregate a
neat sum to the owners and if the
officials have any success this time
in finding the scoundrel or scoundrels,
the law will probably be melted out
to them in proportion to their crime.
