Mrs. William Christie of Douglas, whose husband Edward Krause is suspected of Kidnapping and murder ing, today interviewed Krause in his cell. Mrs. Christie asked Krause: What did you do with my husband?' Krause replied, T cannot tell you"
 Why did you take him away?' she asked. T cannot tell you" re- piled the prisoner again. Although the woman who had been married only three weeks when she was de- prived of her husband implored Krause to tell her whether he was alive or dead, he merely answered in the same fashion and the interview came to nothing.

A controversy of where and when
the first battle of the Civil War was
fought has started in Washington
and promises to become quite battle
itself
Representative Randolph, Demo-
crat of West Virginia, recently intro
duced bill authorizing the eXpendi-
ture of $1,000 by the Federal Govern
ment to erect monument at Philippi,
w. Va, to mark the first land battle
of the Civil War, which Randolph
says was fought there on June 3,
1861.
The bill was referred to the House
Military Affairs Committee. which in
turn referred it to the Interior De-
partment for checkup of the his
torical claims embodied in it.
Assistant Secretary Theodore A..
Walters of the Interior Department

Chances and J. E. Smallman's Can
terboy, were nearly recovered from the
effects of the drug, according to DR..
William P. Collins Of Washington, who
examined the horses. He said How's
Chances, the more seriously affected,
was about out of danger and would
be shipped to Havre De Grace tomor-
row along with others in the whitney
string. Canterboy recovered even
more quickly.
DR.. Collins said speedy administer
ing of antidoteS saved the horses,
whose lower intestines were badly in
famed by the sedative. Both animals
were discovered in intense pain from
the drug, which DIR. Collins said began
to take effect approximately a half
hour after it was given. The veteri-
marian denied the report that Boston
Brook, the ultimate winner of the race
in which the stricken horses were en-
tered, was affected similarly.
No Illness at Feed Time.
The plight of the horses was discov-
cred early Friday by stable attend
ants. An attendant for Mrs. Whitney
said when he fed How's Chances at
am. the animal appeared u good
shape but slightly more than an hour
later he found it down in its stall
writhing in pain.
Track officials were speculating as
to which horse the vandalS wished to
see win. In addition to Boston Brook
the starting horses were Sang Froid,
the favorite, nosed out of first place;
Chief Mourner, which finished third,
and Wayward Son, never contender.

Pr0p0sal to Mark First Battle
Of Cipil War Brings Dispute

wrote Randolph, saying he could not
approve the bill because the first bat
tie of the Civil War was not fought
at Philippi at all, but at Fairfax
Court House, Va. two days before the
combat at Philippi.
This aroused Randolph.
Everybody knows the first battle
of the Civil War was fought at
Philippi" he said. I'VE have been
studying it in our history books in
West Virginia for over so years. Why,
if Walters were right, it would mean
that all the school histories in West
Virginia would have to be rewritten"
Randolph said he felt that while
there might have been some minor
disorder in Fairfax Court House on
June l, 1861, it could in no sense be
compared with the conflict at Philippi
and entirely unworthy of being classed
as battle.

OIL LCURB|S[|STED
FOR QUICK ACTION
White House Conference
Puts Control Ahead in
Legislative Crush.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Federal legislation for control OF
oil production was squeezed into the
administrations preferred list yeSter-
day by pressure generated at White
House conference on petroleum prob
lens.
President Roosevelt, it was said after
the parley, plans to send to Congress
a special message recommending that
1t approve the Thomas hot oil" bill.
The decision to ask for the measure
was made after most of the confereeS
expressed the opinion that something
was needed to back-stop the contem-
plated program of interstate oil COM
pacts. 1t was argued too that the
re-enacted Connally law to prohibit
interstate shipments of illegally pro-
duced crude oil need supplementing.
Hearings Open Tuesday.
Meeting with the President were
Secretary Ickes, Senator Thomas.
Democrat, of Oklahoma; Senator
Thomas, Democrat. of Utah: Repre-
sentatives Disney, Democrat, of Okla
homa, and Cole, Democrat, of Mary
lard.
AS result of yesterdays meeting,
Senator Thomas of Utah. chairman
of Senate mining subcommittee, will
open hearings Tuesday on the Oil
control bill introduced by Thomas of
Oklahoma.
The Thomas bill was introduced
year ago and hearings were conducted
on it then. so this years sessions prob
ably will be brief.
Similar legislation will be pushed
in the House, Thomas of Oklahoma
said. Supporters of the measurs said
they believed that with administra-
tion support, it will be made law.
Act Wanted as Reserve.
I'VE feel the (State) compacts may
do some good but if they should fall
We want something to fall back on as
a reserve Thomas pointed out.
Secretary Ickes praised interstate
compacts but said: There should be
some assurance that If they should
break down there should be some pow
er in the Federal Government to pre-
vent recurrence of the old condi-
tions."
The Thomas bill authorizes crea-
ton Of Federal petroleum board to
fix maximum oil production quotas
for each State. Should these be eX-
ceeded, the board would have power
to fix quotas for movement in inter
state commerce. and, if necessary.
require excess production to be placed
in bonded storage.

Attend Dedication Program,
Ely Strongly Represented al
Celebration Honoring Youth
of St. Louis County.

While many from this city had ar
ranged to attend the dedication o. the
All Club House at Eshquaguma on
Tuesday, the heavy rain of the early
morning and the intermittent showers
which persisted all day, kept hundreds
away.
However, Ely was strongly represented
at the dedication The Ely Commercial
Club float in charge of Secretary Ray
Hoefler attracted much attention and
was pictured in the daily papers yes
terday as one of the most outstanding
floats in the parade.
In addition to the float, Ely was
represented by bus load of All mem
bers and several cars carrying swimmers
and divers to the dedication program
These delegations also helped attract
attention to Ely. Those taking part in
the swimming and diving and other
contests were roundly applauded at
every appearance and compared, and
on several occasions excelled, the con-
testants from other parts of the
country.
The day was ushered in here with the
firing of the salutes by George Somero

importance of the occasion despite the
rain and threatening weather.

the All members to the dedication
The mammouth parade preceding the
event was formed at Virginia where
the western cities had congregated their
floats and organizations. The parade
gathered strength in each town passed
through on the way to the Eshquaguma
site. Many floats from the western
end were ruined by rain before arriving
at Virginia and failed to join in the
parade to the destination.
The structure, only partially COM
pleted, was formally presented to the
st. Louis County Club and Farm Bur-
eau association by Gen. r. E. Wood

ELY VOTERS TO
PASS ON BOND
ISSUE SEPT. 3RD
Bonds Provide Funds for City's
Share of Constructing New
Community Center.

On Tuesday, September 3, the voters
of Ely will cast their ballot for Oh
against a 100000 bond issue for the
purpose of constructing a new COM
munity building, the issue being the
city's share of the cost of the structure
The balance of the funds are to be Sc
cured from PWA for the razing Of the
present building and the construction
of the new and modern community
building, according to plans prepared
by Architect William Inglemann.
In calling for the vote on the bond
issue, the council stated that should
the 100000 be voted, bonds would only
be issued in the amount actually
needed. 1t was also pointed out that
should PWA refuse to assume the cost
of razing the old and the construction
of the new structure, WPA would be ap-
pealed to, to assume the razing cost
1t was also stated that in case this was
done, only SIS 900 or less, of the bonds
would be issued.
The fact was emphasized that in
either case it was doubtful that the full
amount would be necessary and that
only the actual amount needed would
be issued.
Ely needs the new Community build
ing, the present structure proving all
too small to accommodate the demands
on it by the people of this city.
According to revised plans as pre-
pared by the architect. the new struc-
ture is destined to meet every need for
years to come 1t will furnish library
facilities for this constantly growing
branch; meeting place for the civic
groups; bathing and lavatory facilities;
Legion club rooms; kitchens and dining
rooms; large hall for dances and social
gatherings; Boy and Girl Scout rooms,
and a half dozen or more other neces-
sary facilities and rooms pertaining to
civic affairs Of city Of Ely's impor-

DONKEY GAME
WAS A SCREAM
Assisted by the Donkeys the
Arrowheads Beat Up the
Junior Chamber Team.

The donkey base ball game on Friday
ing feature and the audience number
ing about 1000 people were immensely
pleased with the antics of the four
footed players and the two-footed ones
who were supposed to stay on the little
beasts for the ride between the bases.
The Panhandle Donkey Company
from Oklahoma, furnished fine lot of
well-fed sleek looking animals trained
down TO the fine points of the game
Those serving ON the bases were easy
going little fellows and the basemen
had no trouble with them except when
it was necessary to dismount and re-
trieve the ball. The base runners were
a harder lot to handle and few of the
batters stayed on long enough to get
to the bases.
After the game was ended, the score
book showed the Arrowheads winner
over the Junior Chamber of Commerce
nine. The regular ball team was in
better trim than the Junior Chamber
team. several Of the latter team finding
it necessary to apply for first aid treat
ment after trying TO negotiate the
bases and many substitutions were
made. The fact of the matter is, the
only players who came out of the
fray none the worse for wear, were
the donkeys.
Although an estimated crowd Of 1000
witnessed the game, the ticket sales
only showed about 400 as paying adj
mission and large portion of these
were children. The net receipts for the
playing teams amounted to about $l4-

In another place in this paper will be
found a notice by the government call
ing for sites, by either sale or donation,
upon which to construct a government
building for this city.
The project of erecting a government
building for Ely is one Of 351 public
buildings authorized to cost $50, 1863, 600
and TO be financed by the $4,000 900
emergency construction fund author
lied under the second deficiency act ap-
proved last week by President Roose-
welt.
Besides Ely other Minnesota cities TO
be favored with a government building
are Waseca, Hastings, Cremodeling
Courthouse st. Paul, CremodeIing court
house, st. Cloud, Marshall, and Brock
enridge.
As will be noticed the call for site
for the Ely building asks for a corner
I2OxITO OF an inside site 145x17O, con-
venientIy located. The bids will be
opened at 800 o'clock on the morning
Of Tuesday, September 3, at the post

at that time.
The agitation for a government build
ing here was started several months
ago by the Ely Commercial Club. Re-
peated adviceS from Washington, in an
swer TO requests for information, were
TO the effect that nothing could be done
in the matter until after an appropria-
ton was made as the appropriation for
public buildings made last year had
been allocated and no money was at
hand TO Ill the requests on file.
Last week when President Roosevelt
authorized the emergency construction
measure and funds for the same, Ely'S
application came to the fore and the
call for a building site indicates that
something is to be done about It.
