Auto COllideS
With Large Bear
On Warland Road
Car Rolls Over and Is Badly Smashed
Was Driven by Tobacco
Salesman

1t is not at all uncommon for autoists
to accidentally strike deer while driv-
ing on the highways in this district,
but it surely is most unusual for one to
collide with big brown bear while
driving peacefully along
That was the exciting experience
that came to Mr. H. 3. Sennett
while travelling along the highway
Monday evening five or six miles south
of Warland Mr.. Sennett, IN telling Of
his experience, stated he was travelling
at about As miles an hour when sud-
denly large brown bear jumped from
the brush beside the road directly in
front of the car. A collision was un-
avoidable and the car struck the bear
amidships, piling it against the radi-
ator, headlight and fender of one side
Marks on the top and front of the hood
look as though the bear had clawed the
hood in attempting to secure hold
The bear finally rolled off the machine
after being carried some 20 or rs feet
stated Sennett.
The impact jammed one front wheel
back in such manner that it dragged
and the car could not be steered. Con-
sequently the rear end began to skid
around and in doing SO collided with
small clump of willows by the road
side. This tipped the car over onto its
side, when it turned over onto the
top and then onto the other side, COM
ing to rest on the side. Mr.. Sennett
when the car stopped rolling, founc
himself piled up in the bottom
of the car with a large cargo d
tobacco stock--carried in the rear O.
the car-piled on top of him, Mr.. Sen
nett being a tobacco salesman. FINAL,
extricating himself, he opened dool
and climbed out what was then the tor
of the car. He was not injured excep
| for few minor cuts and bruises II
the meantime the bear had disappeared
probably badly hurt
The auto, a Chevrolet sedan, wa
badly damaged. The radiator, the horr
and one headlight and the front of on
| fender were badly jammed and tn
frame on the same side was sprung
so it was said In turning over tn
car struck stump in such name
| as to shatter one corner of the wind
| shield The car had to be lowed int
Libby for repairs. Not wishing to wal
for the car to be repaired, Sennett'
company authorized the purchase Q
another Chevrolet car from the J. (
c. garage.
And now Mr. Sennett carries in hi
pocket a membership card with tn
Libby Rod and Gun club BECAUSE c
the thrill he got from his experienc
with the wild life Of Lincoln county
he was willing prospect for member
ship when Deputy Game Warden Dor
rington suggested it to him after tn
two men had visited about the collision
Sennett says he will long remembe
his thrilling experience in the environ
of Libby.

Over" Dedication.

A strange dedication Of public
building somewhere in the United
States, the location of which Is not
given, is described in humorous vein
in The Federal Architect, official
organ of the Association Of Federal
Architects.
The magazine quotes letter, the
source Of which also is not disclosed,
telling the story as follows:
aside from the fact that none Of
the speakers showed up and that the
musicians union would not allow any
military bands, and that the city
officials did not provide proper police
protection, the dedication was bril-
liant success.
Some of the younger set came in
on roller skates and pounded the
marble and wood work, but that was
good, clean fun, and the society
leaders Of the community served cof-
fee in a room on the second floor, and
in order to feel at home, threw coffee
over the floor and plaster. We also
caught one young gentleman, whose
civic pride was of q very high order.
so he got an iron pipe and pounded
of the corners of the terra Gotta"
After reprinting the letter, the Fed
eral Architect inquiries: why is it
that we have so few Of these old
fashioned celebrations nowadays. We
are never invited to a live party like
that. We hope some day we may at
tend a nice spontaneous dedication on

William c. Fowler. the Commissioners
yesterday went on record as favoring
enactment of the King bill to place
prosecutions and criminal proceedings
under the healing arts practice act in
the hands of the corporation counsel.
Legal proceedings now are divided
between the city lawyer and the
United States district attorney. The
change planned in this direction Is tied
in with proposal to name the corpo-

attorney, as ex officio member Of the
Board Of Licensure in the Healing

Health Ofhcer Fowler, in reporting

ABUSES Of PAROLE
AND PARDONS HIT
Termed National Menace
and Scandal" by ]. Edgar
Hoover in Speech.

Abuses of the parole and pardon
power are so widespread as to con-
stitute "a national menace and
scandal" J. Edgar Hoover, director Of
the Justice Departments Division Of
Investigation, declared yesterday before
the fourteenth annual meeting Of the
protective section of the American
Railway Association.
He declared that in q major crime
still under intensive investigation
presumably referring to the Dillinger
man hunt-"every one Of the known
and suspected criminals are at liberty
because Of the receipt OF pardon and
parole clemencies."
Time for Thought.
when confirmed, blood-thirsty
criminals are set at liberty to prey
upon society, to kill not only the
sworn protectors of communities, but
to murder and kidnap respectable
citizens in various parts OF the coun-
try, it would seem to be time that
some thought be given to the fiagrant
abuses of the pardon and parole
power" Hoover said.
He said the press could aid in calling
attention to these abuses. II the
newspapers and the public, he said,
will maintain rigid scrutiny of the
development in crime of every person
receiving pardon or parole" and give
full accounts of the activities OF par
doned criminals, the country will rise
in indignant and effective protest"
Hoover warned, however, against
'glorification" of the criminal in the
press
This country" he asserted, "can
just as well do without the glorifica-
tion of such hardened criminals as
John Dillinger, Machine Gun Kelly,
Harvey Bailey and Clyde Barrow. The
effect of the gloriflcation of such types
of humanity as these individuals may
become all too painfully obvious when
the present generation Of American
youngsters reaches maturity"
Scores Sob Sisters"
He said another problem Of law
enforcement seems to be to keep the
crooks in Jail after they have been
gotten there" He deplored what he
termed sob sister organizations and
journals" which wage campaigns for
the release of hardened criminals.
Perhaps the high-water mark was
reached in this line of endeavor." he
stated, with the circulation Of
petition some months ago for the re-
lease Of refractory convict
murderer who has been in solitary
confinement for the past IT years, in
order that he might raise canary
birds"
He denied reports of non-co-opera-
ton between Federal and local law
enforcement officers and called for
further coordination of the criminal
catching authorities of the Nation.
K. P. Aldrich, chief inspector of the
Post once Department, opposed q
unified police system for the country.
Other addresses were made by rail-
road officials engaged in protective
work.
