HOLIDAY 18 SPENT QUIETLY IN BISMARCK The Fourth of July was cele- brated very quietly in Bismarck over the week-end double holiday, and not a single report of seri- ous accidents or fires came to the attention of the city depart- ments. The police department states that no traffie accidents or law violations were reported over the week-end, and the fire depart- ment—always on its toes over the Fourth of July because of the great chance for fires from firecrackers, sky rockets, and the“ like—was idle” ‘© Several youngsters bout the city were slightly vag by Rs mature powder and firecrai ker explosions but none of their i Bismarck | first {nora -eentenn’ [ot that i were , spent the holiday at some lake |] roll of the and returned to their work this }} ed the imm + morning with shoulders, ‘arms | dience bowed their { and feces almost raw from sun- urn, { The Fourth was not celebrated e ot i in Bismarck, except for a patrio- cer. of th tic program Sunday afterno Sha people attended the opening of the Mandan Round-up yesterday oon and the pavement dunce there last evening.

Law Observance Mentioned A.passing referpnce to law observ- ance’ wai made by the President, jin discaesing the. responsibility of ¢ people to the government. “Of course the government can hefp to sustain ideals and can create | institutions through which they can be the better observed, but their very nature is in the people,” he said. “The people have to bear their own responsibilities. There is no method by which that burden can be shifted to the government.

Gain Two, Lose One In the final checkup on the legisla. | give situation, it déveloped that the Independents had gainet two senate.; nominations and lost one, and that they had gained 13 house of repre- sentatives nominations, and lost five. When the bureau established for the purpose of gathering election re- lturns was dismantled late Saturday, George F. Shafer, Independent, as the | candidate for port. general,! topped the field of candidates in the matter of majorities. He led Mat- thaei, Nonpartisan, by 24,028 vote: with ‘returns from’ 1,985 precincts.

Henry Walnut, a Philadelphia lawyer, that 600 paid watchers were employed at the polls in Philadelphia by the organization of Governor Pinchot in the race for the sonate. Walnut, who was Philadelphia manager for Pinchot, said $5 was paid for women watchers and $10 for the men on the theory that the men were the more valuable. The witness estaimated that ‘the Republican organization” which sup- ported Vare had approximately 1 000 paid watchers in Philagelph Senator Pepper's‘ organization under- took to employ watchers at all the polls but did not get “the benefit of their services,” Walnut added. Drew Blanks “Then the Pepper organization so far asx you observed paid for prizes and drew blanks?” asked Senator Goff, Republican, West Virginia. “T' would say to a very consider- able extent,” the witness returned. Walnut said his organization col- lected $28,327.81 and expended $24,- 505.06, When Walnut was excused, Morin's name again was called but he failed to respond. Senator King explained that he had received a telegram from Morin yesterday saying he had been called home by illness in his fam “I immediately’ sent ‘him a_tele- gram telling him to be here today as we wanted to finish up this matter,” King added. Contributors Named The committee made public a list of contributors to the Association Against the Prohibition Amendment, but withheld a list of Anti-Saloon League contributors obtained from the recordant league headquarters in Ohio. Publication of this list has heen objected to by Wayne B. Wheeler, and the com ee decided three to two to make public later only those contributions which have been made recently. Others will be held in confidence as not germane to the present inquiry “The committee will examine the list and decide which are to Every Election Official Will Observe Law Plans to list primary election re- turns from each voting precinct in the state if sufficient data is ava uble were laid here today by tary of State Robert B state’s chief election official.

On these four track subways, there is normally a 10-car train every two minutes during the rush hours, when 284 trains in all are needed. The strike, called for higher wages, went into effect at midnight. Interborough officials brought 400 motormen from Boston, Philadelphia and Chicago to take the places of the strikers. Elevated Lipes Not Affected The Interborough four eleyated lines, running up and down Manhat- tan, were not affected. Elaborate plans were made to pro- vide transportation by surface ca ferries, busses and trucks.” Some 500 po en were assigned to strike duty. ‘The strikers, who bolted from the brotherhood’ of interborough em- ployes, the company union, to form a new organization, demand a flat rate of $1 an hour for motormen and 75 cents an hour for switchmen, ap- proximately a 20 per cent increase. All men work seven days in the week. Motormen are paid from $38.64 to $45.92 per week; switchmen from $32.48 to $34.16, During the strike the company ‘is paying $1 per hour and expenses. Service Curtalled Reports assembled nine hours after the start of the strike showed that 4 curtailed service was maintaincd by strike breakers and that there was some congestion, espe ly at the morning “peak” rush h The ser- vice to Brooklyn was temporarily abandoned. No violence was reported. ? Interborough officials issued & ataneae asserting that, service was being maintained 76 per'cen€ of nor- mal. Strike organizers, however, suid that investigation by them show- ed that only 10 per cent oi the usual number of trains was being run and that by nightfall this would be cut to five per cent, BEING TOWED TO DRY DOCK Persons in Charge of Rescuc Work Hope to Find Bodies of 25 in Hull New York, July 6.—()—Bearing the bodies of some of its crew, the United States Submarine S-51 was on its final journey today. It was being towed in Long Island Sound. from Block Island, R. L, to New York, a torn -hulk of aon shapely vessel, buoyed. by -ungal pontoons. The ocean cortege, with the mine. sweepers Falcon and Vestal as honor pall beare oy. headed for the Brooklyn Ni Yards, where the St 51 will be put in dry dock and its dead brought forth. ‘The submarine is due to end its 150-mile trip tomor- row. What secrets will be revealed when the lid of the iron coffin is torn off, no one knows. It is hoped that the bodies of 25 of the crew will be found. When the submarine went to the bottom of the Atlantic ocean off Block Island last September after a collision with the steamer City of Rome, there were 33 men abroad. Divers recovered some of the bodies. Officers who directed the salvage | work believe others will be found, but whether all, they cannot say. Passing of the 8-51 yesterday aft- ernoon is regarded as one of the greatest salvage feats ever accom- plished by the navy. Fight great pontoons were lashed by laine to the submerged craft, and then the wa- ter in these pontoons blown out by compressed air, The buoyancy of the pontoons lifted the 1,200 ton submarine to the surface, a distance of gome 136 feet.
