Those in charge Of the publication of

daily" in which news is treated without
| spelling the stories with too many facts. y
! The book will carry an original musical
| composition dedicated to the Press club
| of Minneapolis.
| Portraits of a score or more newspaper
writer's who have at one time or another
been identified with the Minneapolis press
| will be presented. Several Of the former
workers have contributed articles, among
them being Charles E. Russell, Chicago
American; DR.. Albert Shaw, editor of the
Review Of Reviews, and Clarence Clough
Buell. associate editor of the Century.

Rigidly Hereafter. zsa

repeal the ''curfew' ordinance was re-
jected by the council committee on
ordinances this morning, the father of
the measure himself voting against
it. There will be a vigorous enforce
ment Of the ordinance, and Mr.. West

instructions would be given to the
police to keep the youngsters off the
streets in the evening.
The meeting was attended by sew
eral clergymen, among them Rev. W.

church; Rev. George P. Magill, Oliver
Presbyterian church; Rev. r. A. Van
der Las, Stewart Memorial church
Rev. F. A. Sumner, Pilgrim Congrega-

mayor that there be a more rigid
enforcement.

: GUARD CAN'T GO
iDonahower Says Regular Fund Can't
Be Used for Travelling.

Attorney General Donahower has
put quietus to the hopes Of the ma
ttional guard members, who hoped to
make a trip to st. Louis this summer
In an opinion given the governor this
afternoon, he holds that the national
guard appropriation cannot be used
for that purpose.
A legislative resolution gave the
governor and adjutant general the
right to use the funds for such a trip
but the resolution is held not to have
the force Of law, and the law provides
that the standing appropriation for
the guard is for the purpose of car
rying out the provisions Of the mill
tary code. The attorney general holds
that the military code does not au-
thorize the governor to order the
troops outside the state.
The point was raised by the regi-
mental commanders in letters to the
adjutant general.

Man Who Wouldn't Answer Policeman

Frank Swanson's refusal to stop and

was riding his bicycle on the Washington
avenue bridge last evening, cost him So in
