HIS CLETERN.ESS
WAS EXPENSIVE.
FINESsE OF. A DIPLOMATIC
s'sosH' WENT WRONG.
Expected to Gain Amnesty as Judge
Dickinson's Last Police Court Pris-
oner, but the Stream o. Mercy En-
quilted Another Man-Fined $40 and
Forfeited Bail Of $25. !,

Thinking to save $40 by being the
last man arraigned for drunkenness in
Judge H. D. Dickinson s court this
morning, William H. Beck was forced
to pay $50 instead. :
Beck read in Saturdays j ourna
that the last man to be arraigned for
drunkenness in police court today
would go free because it was Judge
Dickinson IS last day in police court.
Beck was arrested Saturday night and
secured bail. When his name was called
this morning he did not respond, and
after the usual procedure of calling the
name three times in the courtroom and
corridors of the courthouse, Judge Dick
inson ordered the bail forfeited.
Just before court adjourned, at IL
o 'clock, Beck came into the courtroom
and told the clerk that he was ready
to be arraigned, remarking that he
would probably be the last man ar
raigned. He pleaded guilty, and Judge
Dickinson promptly fined him SO.
When he went to settle with the clerk
he found that his bail of $25 had been
forfeited and an additional $40 taxed
I'D against him. Instead of getting off
free Beck found that his little game
had cost him $35. -
Judge Dickinson kept his word, how
ever, and his last official act, in police
court this morning was to suspend the
sentence of Carl Anderson, who had
been arrested for drunkenness by South
Side police officers Anderson's case
seemed the least reprehensible, and
Judge Dickinson gave him the benefit
Of the proposed clemency.- ="

a series Of careful investigations EN-
bracing all the cereals now in use. He
is not combining himself to a chemical
analysis of their .nutritive value, but is
experimenting with the digestions of
three young men who have to perform
different kinds Of labor.
Each food will be, given an equal

TWENTY-FIVE DEPORTED
Of Those Returned to Foreign Lands
Five Were Women.

Twenty-Five aliens have been deport-
ed by the United States immigration
service of Minneapolis since Jan. 1. A
record is kept only at the port of entry,
and the number of immigrants that
have come to the northwest in that
time could be compiled only from an
examination Of the statistics from all
the ports. The territory covered by
the Minneapolis office includes Mime
sofa, Wisconsin, North and South Da-
kota.
Of the aliens deported, five were
women. The charge in every case ex-
cept one was insanity.

The total area last crop was 9,275, ITS
acres and yield as above. This year the
estimated acreage is 1900, 0O0..s* The
average yield last year was about 1874
bushels. It will be much less this year,
regardless of rust, our private cables
suggesting ten bushels. On this basis
the yield would be about 10000, 900 BUSH
els, or 100000 less than last year. The
country holds $4,000, 900 Of it's crop and ex-
ports the balance, which, without seri-
Gus rust damage, would give 10000, 900 for
export on the new crop, On the same
acreage in the American northwest this
year rust destroyed about 45,000,0O0
bushels. .-- ...,... =. rF,, - s.-
The situation in Argentine is critical,
therefore. We have no information as
yet as to whether the situation there is
similar to that in the United States, ex-
cept that three consecutive cables from
San Cristobal, in the extreme north of
Santa Fee, where rust was discovered by
Mr.. Inglis; from Rafaela, in western
Santa Fe; and from as far south as Villa
Cassilda, near Rosario; all say: wheat
rusting badly, quality poor The latter
point is 1875 miles north of Buenos Aires
and indicates that the rust is spreading
over the country as it did here. In Ar
gentine the order Of crop maturity is
north to south, the reverse of the order
in this country. 1t has rained for the
last several days in Cordova and Santa
