FLYING AUTO IN COLLISION Beven St. Paul Firemen Hurt, Two Probably Fatally. As a result of the collision of the | mew automobile squad wagon of the St. Paul fire department and a runa- way team Michael McGarry and Nich- las Savage are dying, all hope of re- esovery having been abandoned. Frank Green, another member of the squad, who was seriously injured, will recover. Lieutenant James Niles and Hugh Connolly both left the hos- pital and are rapidly recovering from their injuries at home. Thomas Kelly was only bruised in the accident. George Swickle and kd Bayers, driver, are much improved and both will recover. The “flyer” was running at a ter- rific clip in answer to a fire call when the collision occurred. A runaway team swung directly in front of the @quad wagon. Eyewitnesses declare that the apparatus made two complete Somersaults and landed on the side- walk. One of the horses of the wagon was @isemboweled and the other dashed up the street unhurt. The wagon was totally wrecked. The front of the squad wagon was torn to pieces and the apparatus was damaged generally 74. EVIDENCE 1S IN Grand Jury Refuses to to Indict Minne- apolis Murder Suspect. Frank J. Quartemont of Minneapo- iis, assistant superintendent of the commissary department of the Soo Mne, held for several days in connec- tion with the murder of Alice Mat- thews in the Mill City on March 23, has been released from police custody. Quartemont had been held on a war- rant charging murder in the first de- | gree. The grand jury reported a “no bill.” Quartemont refused to make a state- ment after his release. The action of the jury was predict- ed. Deductions were made from the | fact that the police introduced no wit- | messes before the grand jury other than those who had been interviewed by newspaper reporters and who knew but simple circumstantial evidence Telative to Quartemont. Even this eircumstantial evidence fizzled out. CALLS TRACHOMA A MENACE Dr. Bracken Fears Whites May Get Disease From Indians. Children in the schools in the north- ern part of the state are in danger of eontracting trachoma from the Indians ef the White Earth reservation, ac- cording to Dr. H. M. Bracken, secre- tary of the state board of health. At a meeting of the executive committee of the board to be held shortly he will discuss precautionary measures. “Indians no longer wards of the gov- ernment, who send their children to the public schools, may be the cause ef white children getting it,” Dr. Bracken said. GIRL CRUSHED TO DEATH fatally Hurt While Operating Elevator in Duluth Hotel. Miss Alino Sackso, eighteen years old, was crushed to death by the eleva- tor in the St. Louis hotel at Duluth. She was running the car. The girl’s cries gave the alarm. A cool headed guest rushed to the cage and stopped it. The girl’s body, pinned by the automatic door, then fell out. She was so terribly mangled that she died on the way to the hospital. Fatal Fall From Truck. Henry Hetzenecker, seventeen years of age, was instantly killed at St. Paul while trying to catch a ride on a hook and ladder truck which was returning from a grass fire. It is be- lieved that he either fell off the truck and under the wheels or that he was truck by a passing automobile. INSUFFICIENT | VICKSBURG THE DANGER POINT Center of Flood Situation Moving South. LEVEES STAND THE STRAIN No Serious Breaks Have Occurred, but Thousands of- Men Continue tc Strengthen the Dikes—Problem ot Caring for Refugees Becomes of First Importance. Vicksburg, Miss., April 10—The center of the flood situation has been shifted from Memphis to Vicksburg in the last twenty-four hours. Chief anxiety is aimed at points between here and the Modoc breaks south of the Tennessee line. Thousands of workmen labored by moon and lantern ight along the levee stretches all night and the fight continues. A levee board official declared the dikes would hold up to fifty-two feet of water. Memphis, Tenn., April 10.—Dikes guarding thousands of fertile acres of Arkansas and Mississippi against the flood tide of the Mississippi river are holding firm. But where the tremen- dous force of the river was hurled against the embankments at the bends in the river breaches seem imminent. | In the long stretches of Yazoo and | Delta territory thousands of men la- | bored all night to strengthen the | levees against the oncoming flood. In villages and on farms in the threat- ened territory in North Mississippi and North Arkansas the people are ready for instant flight. North of this city the river is falling. At Memphis the reading of the gauge showed a stage of 43.6, a fall of one-tenth of a foot in twelve hours. South of Mem- phis the river is rising rapidly. Shelter Problem Serious. The problem of caring for the flood victims is proving a serious one. The greater number of those driven from their homes so far have sought a ref- uge at Hickman, Ky., Tiptonville, Tenn., Forest City and Helena, Ark., and this city. In Memphis the Tri-State fair grounds have been converted into a tented city and the Associated Chari- ties is directing relief measures. At Hickman approximately 2,500 persons are being cared for. Captain Logan of the United States army has charge of the situation at that point and an agent of the Red Cross society is as- sisting him. Captain Regan of the Tennessee na- tional guard has taken charge of the situation at Tiptonville. Local organizations are caring for those at Forest City at the edge of the flood in St. Francis and Crittenden counties in Arkansas. The crew of the United States steamship Amphitrite, anchored in the Memphis harbor, has received instruc- tions to assist in rescuing flood vic- tims. One of the Amphitrite’s boats went to Wyanoke to bring a party re- ported marooned aboard a raft at Wya- noke, Ark., to this city. Over 1,000 persons, nearly half of | them refugees from the flood, are at | Ridgley, Tenn., nine miles below Tip- | tonville, in Lake county, practically | without food. LOSS OF LIVE STOCK HEAVY Thousands Perished Flood Along Lower Mississippi. Memphis, April 10.—The loss in | flooded by the break near Memphis, will be enormous. The authorities and volunteers have been so busy look- live stock could not be attended to. Thousands of cattle sought the levees and hills for safety from the waters. Hundreds of others were drowned and those escaping to the higher ground will certainly starve to death before reached. The steamers are still working night and day bringing refugees from the flooded territory. All are nearly famished and suffer- ing greatly from exposure. Severe Fighting Proceeding at Jojutla, Mex. Mexico City, April 10—The city of Jojutila, in the state of Morelos, has been taken by 1,000 rebels under the command of Emiliano Zapata, accord- ing to a report received here. Federal troops are said to be:mak- ing a counter attack and a severe fight is proceeding. Shot for Refusing to Drink. Chicago, April 10.—Because he re- fused to drink another glass of beer, Rudolph Hoffman, forty-nine years oid, was shot in the heati and probably fatally wounded by John Bauer, sixty- five years old. The men had been drinking beer with a companion in their room on the North Side. Hay Highest Since Civil War. er here than at any time sinc_ Civil war.

POT-POURRI | Wellesley college girls have adopt- ‘ed the following set of rules, which might with propriety be accepted by the girls of Grand Rapids: “Don't swear or use bad language, not because we object to it, but be- cause it sounds bad. Don’t flirt with the handsome fellcw, down in the village. His wife may not like it. Don’t retire with undrawn curtains. The rubber industry is flourishing in other places than South America, Don't chew cardy or anything else wh'le on the village streets. If you must chew, try the rag. Dont believe the chap that tells | you he loves every hair on your head He probably means every one on your bureau. Don’t be a freak. Thq squirrels| have enough nuts ‘to attend to now. | Don’t kiss each other in the pub- lic highway. It’s awful to see a wo- man doing a man’s work.” eee Snow is a white, flaky substance | designed for the purpose of protecting vegetation while the elements are} manufacturing ice. It is no longer | necessary, inasmuch @s natural ice | is not sold any more. It melts too} slowly. The ice companies find) that a very light artificial ice made} | | at a high temperature will sell for} the same money and melt apout| twice as fast. However, nature has been at this thing a long time, and she is not to be swerved from an old! coursa by new conditions. If aj general overhauling of business mor | als still finds it necessary she will manufacture a light natural ice that | will melt in a jiffy.
