New Ulm is a city Of 5000 population,
mostly Germans. 1t has a7 retail lIqu)r
stores, open at all hours, and all days,

water works. fire department. fire alarm
telegraph, splendid school buildings,
tenantless jail. and police force that
enjoys sinecure, so few are the arrests

arrests were mainly non residents. Yeu
in this country we do not believe there
is a city Of twice it's size that consumes
as much beer There are four local
breweries, but they do not supply the
demand and nearly half as much more
as they furnish is shipped in from outside
breweries. Ne instance the Minnesota

them to produce a prohibition city o.
thrice its size in the entire world that

Brewers and saloon keepers of New |
York have been complaining of the fact |
that it is possible under the Raines law
for citizens to obtain from them large |
sums Of money by instituting civil pro.
ceedings against them for violations of
the law.
Investigations made into this matter
brought to light the fact that Royal r.
Scott, who is connected with the legal
department of the State Excise Bureau
in New York, has been the moving spirit
in many cases. In these cases Mr.. Scott
has not acted in his official capacity as
an employe Of the State Excise Bureau,
but as a member of the law firm Of Scott
& MaYham Scott solicited and secured
The active cooperation OF the New York |
State Anti Saloon League. He COM
nended the objects Of the League and
uggested that he could be OF service II
onlY It's officers would consent to serve
Is petitioners in proceedings which
night be instituted against saloOnkeep-
,rs He promised to the superintendent
If the League that he would charge
lothing for his services, but would be
ontent with the costs. The League
cquiesced and proceedings were
against a number of saloon
.,epeis.
While testimony was being taken in
hese suits handy men" we're actively
t work seeking to induce the saloon
eepers to settle. Some Of the latter
ecame alarmed aud IN instances where
ne saloon was controlled by a brewery
rm the "brewers" settled the case by
aging quite large sums oil money.
Some OF the saloon keepers were not
, be intimldated ia this manner and
stused to settle peaceably and when
ghting their case won in the Supreme
ourt and the Appellate Division
hrmed the judgment
The Anti Saloon League was greatly
irPrised when il heard that Scott had
scOntinued great many cases. They
mt a letter to Mr., Scott in which they
'otested against any such procedure
Id stated that this could give rise to
ave suspicious.
Mr.. Scott, however, maintained that
ese suits we're discontinued because
ere was not sufficient evidence against
e saloon keepers and that he acted
ily in the most honest spirit, but from
e methods be employed it appears as
his intentions had not been of the
ost unselfsh nature. - Amsricag
