Pale and trembling like a man with
cused Of having committed wholesale
swindles by means of fraudulent gov
ernment time checks, passed through
the doors of the Ramsey county Jail
last evening, to spend the night in
cell. The air of cheerfulness which has
always characterized his bearing had
deserted him, and he was a pftiful pic
ture of misery. Even his custodians
sympathized with him.
He said not a word in protest, but
accepted his fate with helpless resigna-
ton.
Southall was arrested at his home In
st. Anthony Park about o'clock in
the evening by United States Marshal
OConnor and Supt Weber, of the
Pinkerton detective agency. The war
rant on which he was taken In custody
was issued by United States District
Attorney E. c. Stringer on complaint
of D. w. Emmons and William Cutler,
upon whom he is alleged to have pass
ed several of the bogus time checks.
He was prepared for his arrest, for the
newspapers had notified him that he
was wanted, and a Pinkerton detective
was sent to his house in the morning
to guard him and see that he did not
commit suicide or escape from the city
Placed Under Arrest.
1t was known that he carried a re-
volver, and 1T was feared he would
shoot himself
Mr.. Southall received the officers
when they called and admitted them.
They stated their business, and he said
he would willingly accompany them to
the United States commissioners Of
flee.
The party arrived at the office of
United States Commissioner McCaffer-
ty shortly after s o'clock, and Mr..
Southall was allowed to send for his
attorneys, g. M. Nelson and William E.
Bramhall. Pending their arrival, he
was permitted to sit in an ante room
in charge of detective. United States
District Attorney Stringer represented
the government.
WHeH tHe party was assembled, Unit
ed States Commissioner McCafferty
started to read the complaint to Mr..
Southall, but his lawyers advised him
to waive examination, and the read
ing was not completed.
Text of the Complaint.
The complaint was as follows:

naval committee will seek Jurisdiction
OF the report and will contest the rights
OF the foreign relations committee to
matter involving the destruction of a
battleship upon which a naval board
mas made a report. The foreign rela-
ltons committee is confident, however,
that the senate will consider that tha
Maine disaster involves foreign uues-
uons, which make it properly the right
OF that committee to consider the uues
ton. Members of the naval committee
will claim that the senate, having au-
thor1zed 1t to investigate the Maine
disaster, this committee should have the
report OF the naval board referred to
1t as a matter of courtesy as well os
of right.

EPIDEMIC UNDER CONTROL

The epidemic Of diphtheria which IS
now raging in this city has caused a
good number of parents to take their chill
dren from school, contrary 10 the judg-
ment Of the board of health and super
intendent Of city schools. While the dis
ease is of malignant type. great pro-
gress has been made during the past few
days and the board of health think they
have the dreaded disease under control
However, it may break out again as bad
as ever If the utmost care is not taken
by both parents and physicians.
Il has been suggested that no one should
indulge in kissing. Especially should fond
parents refrain from INDUCING IN ex-
pressing their feeling toward their young
in this way. It being germ disease, it
could readily be contracted by a baby
where an adult might have bacteria in
their throat, and yet never have any in
convenience from the disease. as they. be-
ing healthy and strong, could throw IL off.
On authority, it was stared yesterday
that the use of COWS milk probably had
as much to do with generating the dis
ease as anything. Milk should never be
given TO the young until boiled, thus kill
ing all germs The fact that a COW that
was apparently in the best of health as
far as the owner might be able to dis
Germ, might be giving forth millions Of
diphtheria bacteria. While dfphtheria is
first noticed in the throat or nose, Il starts
from the stomach and gradually ascends.
By strict attention to the laws Of hygiene,
the disease can be warded off.
For the time, trouble. quarantine and
especially the loss of a little one, Il would
seem that few minutes spent In boiling
milk, and precautions as to hygiene,
would be well repaid.
