Details of Distressing Accident
Causing Drowning of
Two People Last Week.
The details of the distressing ao- j
eident mentioned in our last issue of
the drowning of two people by the
upsetting of a canoe, appear in the
following letter received by relatives
here a few days ago:
"Kansas City, Mo., June 5, 1919.
"Mr. F. B. Smith,
"Deai- Sir:
"Received your letter and note
contents. You ask me how Bill was
drowned. That no one will ever be
able to tell. Bill, could swim and last
summer he would take Berry on his
back an/1 swim across the river, so I
.. i.. 11 i i. i
*-tm uwi U.-U now ne was urowneu.
Bill has been working for me off and
or for the last two years, but since
Xmas he has been working Saturday
only. He has been building houses
out on the Blue River the last two
months. Friday, the 23rd of May, T
sold him soine furniture and in the
trade I took 6 little rabbits in on it.
On Sunday, May 25th, I with my
family (wife and 2 little girls) drove
out to Bill's house to get the rabbits,
about 4:30 in the afternoon. Bill was
IVilding a kitchen on his, house which
he just bought for $45.00, but he did
not buy the land. There was two
men at the house when I got there.
A man named Finkle and a man
named Kurtfc. I knew Finkle and
r?iii i ? ? - - "
j>ui ktiow mm wen, but 1 did not
know Kurtz, and Bill met him the
Sunday before for the first time.
After we arrived Bill took all of us
and showed us the rabbits anil the
chickens and all around the place.
Then he said let us all take a boat
ride. Mrs. Smith, my wife, and my i
two little girls and Berry and myself
got into the big boat and Mr. Finkle, ]
Mr. Kurtz and Bill got into the '
canoe. I rowed up the river about
a mile and the canoe passed me and
coming back Bill caught up with us
and said my front end of the boat i
was too high out of the water and i
asked my wife to get into the canoe j
but she was afraid, and then he ,
asked my little girls to get in and
they began to cry for they were
afraid of the water. Then Bill said
come on Berry, you are not afraid,
get in with me, which the boy did
and he told Mrs. Smith to get up in
the front end of the boat. I rowed
- - / on down the river and saw Bill pull
\. into the bank. That is the last I saw
-of any of them. Mrs. Smith, my
wife and children ,went up to the
he use for it was raining and was
sitting waiting for them. About 45
minutes a ?nan knocked on the door
and Mrs. ?>mith went to the door.
He aftkod Smith lived here, she
said yes, ItbA he was down at tfce
river and would be up in a few ny/i( J

NO MONEY ALLOWED
TO BUY CAMP SITES
Washington.?Because of the arbitrary
and rarrow policy shown by
the House, Republicans, in putting a
provision in the pending military appropraition
bill to prevent the use
for the purchase of land of any moneys
carried by it, or of any unexpended
previous balances, the outlook
for the purchase of the site of
Camp Jackson by the government *s |

shows iwore intelligence and fairness
the bill with is astonishing inhibition
will be enacted.
Representative A. L. Lever of the
district in which Camp Jackson is
situated led the fight to amend the
bill by permitting "obligated" balances
to be used for the purchase of
land, but he was defeated by the
brute force of the opposing majority.
The South Carolinian declared that
to adopt the bill as it stands is to
cause the government to violate its
solemn obligations to American citizens,
and also to cause the governon
nt itself a great loss because improvements
built on leased land revert
to the owners of the land.
In this connection Mr. Lever cited
figures furnished by Assistant Secretary
of Kar Crowell to show that
the government would actually save
$2,500,000 by purchasing the four- !
teen camp sites which the War Do
partment wishes to keep. It is estimated
that there will be loss by
damage, liability and reversion of improvements
amounting to about $5,
500,000 if the purchase of the sites
is not permitted.

utes. He said no he won't. He ami
a little boy was drowned about ?0
minutes age. Wo all wont dow-n in
the liver. Mrs. Smith and my wife
stayed until they found the bodies.
I drove my car to Dodson and got
men to drag the river and got the
Fire Department to bring a pulmotor
from Kansas City. It was more than
two hours before they found the
bodies so they did not have much of
a chance. They put the machine on
little Berry but could do no good.
There was no hope for Bill. The coroner
was there and said there was
110 use for a inquest as it was a plain
case of drowning. Now for what
Finkle and Kurtz have to say, they
say they pulled into the bank and
k\vent up to a house on the other side
I of the river and stayed there a few
i minutes and then went back to the
river anil started back to the house
and little Berry started to walk from
one end of the canoe to the other
! ant the canoe tipped over, they say j
i that they all grabbed for the boy and i
i got tangled up and went down themsCiVes.
And when Finkle and Kurtz i
came up they swam to the bank and j
got the canoe and pushed it to Bill. |
j They say that Bill caught hold of the |
i boat and they started to pull it in
j and all at once he lot go and that
|\vas the last they saw of them.
There were two negroes on the bank
fishing, and they tell the same story,
they say that they thought Bill and
the boy was going to get out all
right, that is the reason the negroes
did not go in after them.

THE HORBY HERALD, OOIO
PRESIDENT WILSON
SPEAKS TO BELGIANS
"?! 1 *
Tells Country of the Regard
Felt by America
For It
I
WILL ASK CONGRESS
TO ORDER EMBASSY
Hearers Cheer Chief Executive
of United States Paying
Visit to Brussels.
Brussels.?The king and / queen of
the Belgians said goodbye to President
and Mrs. Wilson tonight after a
day of functions and sight seeing
that taxed the energies of every individual
in the American party.
The president made three speeches
and an extended tour of the battlefields
attended a luncheon and a formal
dinner by the king. Had there
been any doubt relative to the feeling
between Americans and Belgians,
it was removed in the chamber of
deputies when the president was
warmly applauded by the members
and those gathered in the galleries.
In a simple, straightforward manner
he brought them to the realization
that America was not dealing
with the past; that now is the time
for credits, and it is proposed to extend
them.
The president in the course of his
speech said he had in mind to suggest
to congress to elevate the legation
at Brussels to an embassy and
the post of minister to ambassador.
The appearance of President Wilson
before the chamber was the most
important feature of the day's program,
but it was rivaled by the recep
tion of Burgomaster Max at the Ho
tei de Villo later in the day.
The burgomaster, who had deified
the Germans, welcomed the quests
before a gathering of the capital's
prominent citizens, saying:
"You represent a noble peopl
whose generous aid preserved mi'lions
of human beings from famin
and whose prodigous work made'
the United States the great s*o..
house and arsenal of the entente.'1
With King Albert, the president
entered the chamber of the deputies
the minute fixed, awhile Mrs. Wilson,
Miss Margaret Wilson and the Queen
wcrj escorted to their scats. The
hall was filled, every member's seat
being taken, and the galleries were
crowded with men and women, at
least a third of the women still wearing
mourning. The scene was relieved
of its spmbre aspect, however,
by the large number oi{ modish
gowns. t
The president, with the king, was
seated on the floor of the house directly
in front of the speaker. The
queen and Mrs. Wilson occupied
places to the speakers left.
Cheers for Americans.
The Belgian minister of foreign
affairs, Paul Hymans, expressed
gratitude at the part America played
in the war. He referred specially
to the work done by Herbert Hoover,
who was present and was forced to
aiise and acknowledge the applause
of the chamber.
More than once the president, and
even Mrs. Wilson, were obliged to
bow acknowledgements when references
were made to them.
The audience appeared more curious
than anything else when the
president began to speak, and the
first applause was perhaps somewhat
perfunctory. But as he proceeded
appreciation reached a climax expressed
in warm and hearty applause.
At the conclusion of his address,
the whole chamber rose and gave
the president an ovation. The guests
were conducted later through the
historic rooms, including the senate
chamber, where the English nurse,
Edith Cavell, was tried and sentenced
by the Germans.
Before leaving the president signed
"the gold book" and at 3:30 the presidential
party and royal party, amid
plaudits, took automobiles for Malines.
On the arrival and departure of
the president the Belgian band played
"The Star Spangled Banner." The
opening of the session was a picture
unusual to Americans. Color guards
stationed in the chamber advanced
on signal to the platform behind the
speaker's chair and there grounded
their standards and remained at attention
throughout the ceremony.
Wherever the president and his
party moved throughout the city, d.
was the signal for huge crowds 10
i gather.

PROMISING WELL
Berlin, Tuesday.?Agricultural production
in Germany has been held up
a high mark, said Herr Schmidt,
the food minister, in the course of an
interview. He explained that Germany
had maintained* a remarkable
record by using every available plot
or ground for the growth of something
that would sustain life.
Herr Schmidt declared, however,
in answer to a question relative to the
employment of the idle thousands m
cities who refuse to go to the country
that in general they arc not need
od, since the farmers who have rcturned
from the war were doing everything
possible to insure a good
harvest. He added that the work-1
[ men who are unemployed would not |
go to the country, not only because
fanning was unfamiliar and distaste
ful to them, but because of the miserable
housing conditions in certain
sections, notably in East Prussia and
west Prussia, to where Polish and
Russian laborers formerly emigrated.,
gathered the harvests and returned
to their homes.
The government is handling the
problem by means of money loans
or donations for new buildings in
country communities, but Herr
Schmidt said the shortage of building
material and coal complicated
the situation.
The food minister then discussed
the economic, or what he called the
"food effect," of the Allied peace
terms in alienating territories in Silesia,
Posen, West Prussia, East
Prussia, the Saar region and Schlcsv*ig-Holstein.
He said the western
part of Germany was not important
from a crop standpoint but termed
uj per Silesia as an "additional supply
source," and Posen and West
Prussia as "over-plus or excess districts"
for sucar. notatons nnrl (rmin I
the loss of which should be keenly
felt.
Germany's next harvest, especially
wheat, will be "middling good" said
Herr Schmidt. Potatoes will be some
what more plentiful, although large
importations will be necessary. Sugar
beets will be twelve per cent be'ow
the normal production while the
-meat supply will be the "worst chapter
in the food story," he said.
Germany's harvest will be finished
about the middle of September, with
a few crops such as potatoes and
eels maturing as late as October.
For the interim Germany is relvirg
on its slender reserves and on food
from abroad, principally from America.
One-half of the food expected
from America now is in German
harbors or already distributed Ger- '
many paying for it 1,054,000,000,
marks in gold.
