TOO MANY HOLES In LAW
Teachers Would Have the Compul-
sorry Education Law Made
e. More Stringent. ,i5.

Amendments to the compulsory
education law will be proposed at the
annual meeting of the Minnesota Edu-
cational association to assemble in St.
Paul in the holidays. A special COM
mittee will consider the fact that the
present law, requiring children to at
tend school between the ages of s and
is years, affords too many excuses.
The teachers will probably recon-
mend that the law be changed so that
all children from 8 to IA years of age
will be required to attend school, I'M
less prevented by poverty or by mental
or physical disability.
Another reported project Of the
Educational association is to charge
admission to all the meetings during
its annual session. The suggestion
made is that persons not members of
the society be asked to pay 81 each
for badges admitting the holder to the
general sessions, the evening lectures,
etc.
Some teachers, however, argue that
the public school system is for the
benefit Of all, and that the public has
an implied right to attend without
charge, the general meetings Of the
association and to hear the informal
discussions. But a fee might reason
ably be demanded for the privilege of
hearing paid lectures.

MEAT PRICES DOWN
President Of the Retail Meat Deal
ers' Association Says Meats
Cheap Enough to Eat.
Prices Have Been Falling in Past
Three Months and Are
Low.

There never was time within my
memory when meats were so cheap
as they are now. People can live on
meats cheaper than they can any
thing else, and as far as local condi-
tions are concerned they are buying
than at any other large center in the
country, and that is why Minneap-
oils Is one of the biggest meat con-
sumers on the map. proportionally,
at least"
This is the statement made this
morning by Louis r. Witt, president
of the Retail Meat Dealers associa-
ton, after reading a dispatch from
Kansas City in which the "big four
combine of meat packers is severely
arraigned for squeezing" the beef
feeders and pork raisers on one hand
and the meat consumers on the other.
In the daily press dispatches, in
every cereal advertisement you read
you see or hear the statement that
meat Is high and how the poor man
must reduce his portion of meat"
continued Mr.. Witt. Nov, as a mat
ter of fact, the creation of the big
four combine has had no appreciable
effect on the prices of meat, so far
as my experience has gone, and, To-
cally meats are selling cheaper than
they have for long time.
In the last three months, for in.
stance, porterhouse and sirloin steaks
have dropped from Is cents to 12k
cents a pound; pork chops which
were selling at Is and even 17Ncents
a pound have come down to 12hc;
mutton chops, sold at Is cents three
months ago, are now sold at 10 cents;
pot roast has dropped from IL cents
| to 8; corn beef from to 3 cents;
round steaks from 12h to 10, land
whole hams from Is to 121a cents.
What the packers may be doing to
the feeders I cannot say, because we
| do not buy live beef and we really
pay small attention to prices in the
live stock market. But have noticed
no tendency to squeeze the retailers
and I doubt if there has been any
such tendency. The packers, while
! they have a working agreement, are
| out to get the business and are moi
liable to kill the goose which lays the
golden egg. And this goose, by the
way, probably yields only a fail

A. SENSATION.
Eckstromer Hints at Startling Dis
closures in Connection With
the Gugler Fire.

1--WE: are, In this case nov and. be-
fore we are thru with it there will be
some sensational disclosures. I miss
my guess if some other people do not
get into trouble
This statement, made yesterday by
Hjalmar Eckstromer, indicted with
Fred Ayers for attempted extortion
from j. Fl. Gugler, indicates that there
will be more revelations in connection
with the Gugler Electrical Manufac-
turing company's fire.
Both defendants have pleaded not
guilty, and have been released on $500
bonds. Ayers, a well-known local at
torney, laughs at the charge against
him and denies ever having any hand
in an attempt to extort money from
Gugler as a price for not accusing him
of pouring water on his stock after
the Gugler fire for the purpose OF
swindling the insurance company.
Eckstromer asserts that his defense
will develop the real facts Of the
water-pouring episode. He says he
can show that water was poured over
the stock left in the Gugler plant after
the fire and will show by whom and
for what purpose the work was done

vania, and the method employed is the
control of the company's capital stock.
1t is said that Gould's attack upon
Cassatt is inspired by the desire to get
revenge for the ousting OF the West
ern Union Telegraph company from the
Pennsylvania line and the destruction
of n large amount of the telegraph
company's property. in the shape of
poles, wires, etc. RockefellerS special
interest, aside from his desire to eX-
tend his financial power in the rail
road field, is said to be to secure salts
factory transportation facilities and
rates for the business of the Standard
Oil company over the Pennsylvania s
lines. The directorate of the PcnnSyl-
vania has so far stood squarely up in
support of President Cassatt, but as
the plan of campaign in all such wars
is directed toward the end of cOntrOll-
ing the stock of the railway concern
ed. the combined power of the Gould
and Rockefeller interests in the stock
market may eventually work changes
inimical to the interests of President
Cassatt in the directorate of the com
pany.
