The men were drowned when the Mar- quette county road commission truck, in which they were riding, rolled down an embankment into 2 pond near Champion. Richard Saarl, sixty-two: Ole Mattinen, fifty-one, and Charles Hyry, fifty-eight, ‘who drowned, were in the rear of the truck, try- ing to catch the mouse. Suddenly the rodent leaped between them to the shoulder of Herbert Strand on the front seat.

H On the trip to Florida, the writer declared, prohibition was the pre- dominant theme of talk among pa sengers. While passing through Ala- bama, where even the sale of near- beer is prohibited, the writer said he observed that eight of thirteen pas- sengers in the observation car had pocket flasks. A ninth, who was from Alabama, was trying to beg a drink. A Birmingham business man who hhad been on a trip to Chicago declared ythat “Alabama licker is better than anything you have In your liberal city of Chicago with Its thousands of saloons,” adding that “Alabama is the greatest corn licker state in the Union,” and estimating the 1923 crop at “about forty gallons to the acre.” Porters on the train on which the trip was made, the writer declared, were dispensing pint bottles of liquor | at every stop at $3.50 a pint. ' “Tlll-advised bootleggers who try to ship booze north by passenger train give the conductor $5 per case to carry the liquor,” the writer said. “The conductor gets the money in ad- vance. Before the train reaches its northern destination the porters dou- ble-cross the conductor for the booze and sell it themselves on the way back.” Further. in reference to automobile { dealers selling special bootlegging cars, the writer quotes one dealer as promising to follow through on tho deal by introducing the prospective rum-runner to prominent northern busi- ness connections at the other end. “T give you my word of honor, sir.” | the writer quotes the dealer, “I'll| write you an introduction to the} sales manager of our cars on Michi-| gan avenue.

Glover, chairman of the | board of directors of the Riggs Na- | tional Bank, s critically ili at his summer home in York Beach, Me., according to word received here to- day. Milton E. Ailes, president of the bank. was informed this morning by a nurse of the office of Dr. James F. Mitchell, that Mr. Glover's condi- tion was better and that an opera- tion for gall stones mav be avoided. The information came to the nurse in a letter received from Dr. Mitchell. Mr. Glover, on July 3. was very ill, and fears for his recovery were ad- vanced, it is learned. He has been suffering from gall bladde: trouble for the past six months, and at in- , tervals throughout that time has had several attacks that have uj pset his condition. Dr. B. L. Harin, the family physi-: cian, is at York Beach, and Dr. Mitch- ell, a surgeon, was sent for when it appeared an operation was necessary. Mr. Glover and his family left Wash- ington two weeks ago for their sum- mer home. TALESDLWN, AREFOUNDEULTY Convicted of Criminal Syndi- calism in Superior Court of Los Angeles.

Half of Gas Lights to Goin 1925 - If Congress Allows Estimates Approximately half of the ekisting gas street lamps will be replaced with electric lights during the fiscal year 1925 if the budget bureau and Con- gress allow the amount which it is understood the electrical department will Include in its new estimates. According to rellable reports the new budget will contain a request for $450,000 for replacing old street lamps and $650,000 for upkeep of all exist- ing street lights, which includes the cost of gas and current. | The $450,000 replacement item would be the first installment of a five-yea; program of § ,000 to give Wash- 0-date system of street and highway illumination. If Congress grants,the $450.000 in the next appropriation act the balance needed will be sought in the succeed- ing four years. The current appropriation act al- lows only $20,000 for replacement and $472,000 for current upkeep. It is sur- Pprising to note that, while increasing the estimate for replacements to $450,000, the amount for maintenance {s advanced only from $472,000 to $650,- 000. ; 0 OF FEEBLE-MINDED OF SHIP CAPTAINS i |Big Farm Purchased in AnneiTariff Act Demands Criminal Arundel County, 24 Miles | Prosecution in Liquor From Washington.

While it was indicated that the President and the members of his official family have reached no definite | conclusion, they have well in mind the problems peculiar to southeastern Alaska Virtual decision was reached yes- terday to abandon plans for the trip from Fairbanks to Chitina over the Richardson trail because of its rigor- ous nature, necessitating traveling in automobiles for three days over rough | rozds, with some of the party sleep- jing in tents, but today the President was said to be reconsidering and desirous of making that portion of the trip as scheduled. Mrs. Harding was also sald to be insisting that the trail portion of the trip be made ai ! scheduled, although all the members of the party, including President Harding, have urged her not to at-| tempt it. If the trail trip is abandoned, the party will return from Fairbanks to Seward on the Alaska railroad. To Use Henderson. The President is also understood to have virtually decided to use the marine transport Henderson rather | than shipping board steamers for the voyage from San Diego to New York or Washington via the Panama canal and Porto Rico. Definite decision is awaiting_word from the Navy Department at Wash- ington as to whether such use of the vessel would interfere with any plans of the department. GUARDS ARRIVING.

The next moment a deafening roar was heard. A guard was placed around the bullding_ and rescue work begun.

There are two reasons why Capt. Wood takes this position. First, be- cause the federal government has mil- lons of dollars worth of property in the area that would be protected by high pressure; second, because the high-pressure mains would be en- tirely for the use of the fire depart- ment and would not aid the water distribution system. There were indications at the Dis- trict Building today that officials of the water department are inclined to reconsider their action in not includ- ing the high-pressure project in the estimates for next year. Likely to Be in Budget. The Commissioners have promised to give it careful attention, while they are goIng over the figures of de- partment heads for next year and it would not be surprising if the budget as transmitted to the Treasury con- tains an item to begin tlie installation. The estimated cost of putting in system h $1.500.000. The city heads, if they decide to take fa- vorable action, probably will ask for $400.000 or $500,000 the first year.
