HAMMOND FOR PEACE COURT
State   Executive on   Board  of Governors of Proposed Worldwide
Organization.
The formal steps in a campaign for
the creation of a world supreme court
for the judicial settlement Of all international disputes were taken at a
luncheon given at the Bankers' club
in New York city which was attended
by men prominent in public life from
all sections of the country.
The luncheon resulted in the formation of the World's Court League of
America by the election of a board of
governors, who will later elect officers and perfect the organization.
Among the governors elected are
the following:
John Wesley Hill, John Hays Hammond, Oscar S. Straus, Alton B. Parker, John Wanamaker, United States
Senator L, Y. Sherman of Illinois,
Charles W. Fairbanks, Governor
Elect A. O. Stanley of Kentucky and
Governor W. S. Hammond, Minnesota.
Governor Hammond says that, while
he has little time to devote to matters
outside of the state, he favors the
idea of a world's supreme court and
will do what he can to further the
plans of the organization.
BURNQUIST    IS    UNDECIDED
May Enter the Race for Governor of
Minnesota.
Lieutenant Governor J. A. A. Burn-
quist of St. Paul is not out of the gubernatorial race and it is not yet certain that he will be a candidate for
lieutenant governor. Neither has he
changed his mind. He is in the same
position in which he has been all
along.
"It is putting it a little strong to
eay that I have retired from the
gubernatorial race," he said, "for I
have never declared myself a candidate. Neither have I definitely declar
ed myself a candidate for lieutenant
governor.
"I have been considering these matters and I have received many strong
assurances of support in case I decide to run for governor. And I have
also received letters from state senators assuring me of their support for
lieutenant governor in case I derided
to run for that office instead of entering the race for the governorship.
"I may be a candidate for the governorship next year and I may not.
It depends on how the situation
shapes itself."
VETERAN LOSES STATE JOB
Court Holds He Is Not Entitled to
Preference.
Old soldiers are not entitled to any
preference in the matter of holding
state positions, the state supreme
court declares.
A decision of Judge W. L. Kelly of
the Ramsey county district court was
reversed in the case of B. F. Allen,
McLeod comity, deputy state oil inspector, discharged by A. J. Rush,
state oil inspector.
Allen is a Civil war veteran and
contended that for this reason he wan
entitled to continue in his position so
long as he was qualified to perform
the duties.
The supreme court decides heads
of state departments can appoint or
dismiss employes at will and 'no reasons need be given.
TWO BOY SKATERS DROWNED
One Gives Life In Vain and Sister
Narrowly Escapes.
Emil Klopp, twelve years of age,
and Alois Klopp. ten years of age,
sons of Anton Klopp, a farmer living
on the shore of Huntley lake, seven
miles north of Stillwater, were drowned while skating on the lake.
Alois went down 100 feet from the
shore in fourteen feet of water. Emil
tried to save him and both were
drowned. A sister, Louise, tried to
save the boys and was in the water
ten minutes before being rescued.

dealers of St. Paul, charging him
with soliciting orders for liquor in tho
Indian country, and also an indictment
against the company for which he
travels charging it with shipping liq-

Farmers Creamery
For Onamia
When Chas. Gravel was here
Friday he informed the Journal
that Onamia would soon have a
co-operative creamery. He
claims they have not less than
500 cows in the territory tributary to his town, which ought
to keep the venture on a good
sound basis. Lastrup started
with no more, and, according- to
the secretary, that creamery is
now past the danger line.
TAKING CARE OF
THE YOUNG COLT.
November, with its colt shows
in Minnesota, is starting discussions as to the best care of the
colt. From Lake Park, which
held a colt show November 6,
comes the question whether it
is more essential that a colt be
given the best care during its
first, second or third year, and
whether a contest among yearlings and two-year-olds would
be the best method of developing better horses. Proficient
judges at colt shows do not
place excessive fitting, but
rather look for evidences that a
colt has been fed for development.    "Ruffing it"   as   a   colt,
Brooten Farmer A
Suicide Saturday
Brooten.—Discouraged because of financial reversesTheo.
Halgrimson, a farmer living near
Brooten, committed suicide Saturday afternoon by drinking carbolic acid. Mr. Halgrimson had
spent Saturday in Brooten and
in tlie afternoon remarked to
some acquaintances that he
would be a dead man within an
hour. His statement was not
taken seriously, but a short time
later he was seen to fall to the
ground. Dr. Kolset was called
at once but death had already
come Dr. Goehrs of Melrose,
deputy coroner, was then summoned and in the examination
it was determined that death
had been caused by drinking a
quantity of carbolic acid.

Melrose. — An unusually sad
death occurred at Spring Hill,
on Monday afternoon whenTheo.

Hill and his illness was not discovered until the disease had
reached an advanced stage. He
was found by his brother Mike

home. Medical care was given
but the disease could not be
checked. The funeral service

week.

LITTLE  CHANCE  OF ESCAPE
Atstro-Germans Going Forward in the
North and  Bulgarians Doing  Liko-
wiae    in   the    South.
Driving home with horse and
buggy Wednesday of last week,
Mrs. John P. -Langer and her
son Joseph, and two of Prank
Rauch's children wen' overtaken and struck by a Ford car
with such violence that the occupants were all hurled to the
ground. Mrs. Langer suffered
a slight fracture of a rib, but
the children escaped uninjured.
The horse ran away but was
caught by the driver, who, Mrs.
Langer claims, instead of making apologies and offering to
make amends for precipitating
the accident, became abusive
and upbraided her for not giving
him the whole road. Mrs. Langer and the children all agree
that they were almost entirely
off the road, and that if this
roadhog had turned only six
inches, the accident could have
been easily averted.
The tirst intimation those in
the buggy had of the oncoming
auto was when the driver
shouted to them to "get out of
the way!'' The crash followed
almost  instantly.
It is clear  that   Mrs.   Langer
cannot be blamed   for   the  acci-i
dent.    The rules of the road say .
that horse-drawn vehicles must!
give autoists  half of   the   road.j
Had  that fellow conceded that
much, he would   have   at   least
saved    himself    the   trouble   ol
catching the horse.
