FIST FIGHT DUE
TO MOTHER LOVE
Judge Holt Refuses to Fine a
Woman Who Trounced Her
Sister.

Anna Long and her sister, Mrs.
Emma McGinn, INDUCED in a boxing
bout at the latter's home on East Fiji
teenth street, yesterday, in which An
ma came out the victor. Later in the
day she was locked up at Central sta
ton on a charge Of assault and bat
terry.
The trouble arose over Annals chill
dren, who are being cared for by Mrs
McGinn under contract, Mrs Long
having been divorced from her hus-
band last fall. --..
Yesterday Anna went to see her
children, but after she was once in
side the house Mrs. Nc CHM refused
to allow the little ones to come near
their mother. The mother then
started to obtain what she considered
her rights by force and succeeded.
Judge Holt refused to convict the
woman, saying that she had simply
given vent to her motherly instincts
in a rather forcible manner. He con-
tinued the case for one month and
advised the sisters to patch matters
up before that time.

TYPHOID DANGER ZONE
Supplied Directly From the East Side

Investigations by Professor Bass of the
state university as to the typhoid fever
epidemic show that the greatest propor-
ton of cases is to be found in the district
between Central avenue and Third avenue
Sc, "a district supplied directly from the
East Side station About fifty cases or
nearly one-thlrd of those reported are in
this danger zone. -.-
The reports Of new cases continue to
come and Health Commissioner P. M. Hall
expects more cases to develop.
Aldermen vigorously resent even the
slightest intimation that they are in any
wise responsible for the typhoid fever cpl
demic on the East Side because there has
been delay in compiling the new North
east pumping station. Alderman F. l..
SchOOnmaker says that he supposed that
everyone in town understood that the East
Side, pumping station was started because
Of the break in the submerged main at
Twentieth avenue n which deprived the
East Side of it's connection with the city S
distributing system from the reservoir.

PUZZLES PROF. JONES'.
Thinks Story of Scientist Who Floats in
Air Is "FIshy."

Thinks Story of Scientist Who Floats in
Air Is "FIshy"
II would like to know how he does IT,"
said Professor F. S. Jones, head Of the
physics department at the university, when
he was shown a newspaper dispatch telling
of a Wisconsin scientist who had charged
himself with electricity and f1oated in the
air.
"Of course it is a we'll known fact in
physics that similarly charged bodies re-
pell each other but that human being
could stand a charge sufficient to over
come the force of gravity seems improb-
able to say the least. The idea has a
plausible sound but the practical difficult
ties surrounding it's execution are very
great. When any considerable electrical
charge is withdrawn fom the cath and
unestrained by insulation it sparks across
as in the case Of lightning.''
ION the WHOLE said the professor, "tho
the story is an interesting one, I very
much suspect that that particular scien-
fist works in a newspaper office"

HORSE CHEWED TREE
The Owner Has to Pay a Fine of Ten
Dollars.

Persons who come before Judge
Holt on a charge of hitching horses
to shade trees, must expect to pay
dearly for their carelessness.
William Graude was fined SO in po-
lice court this morning for allowing
his horse to use the bark of shade
tree for stomach bitters, and in pass
ing sentence the court said such an act
amounted to nothing short Of wilful
destruction of property. He said it
toxic years to develop pretty shade
trees and it is the duty of the court
and police to protect them.

1ore increasing Prices
Minneapolis bakers are skirmishing
about for means by which they can avoid
raising the price of bread to consumers.
The city ordinance prevents the shading
of the size of the Loaf and. it is declared
that bakers cannot buy flour at present
prices and sell the regulation size loaf
for 5 cents. F. 5- z-.>.-r -
Some Of the bakers have large stocks
of -four on hand and propose to keep the
price down so long as this supply lasts
After that is consumed the wax paper
wrappers on loaves may be left off, which
will save a quarter of cent loaf.
There will probably be a reduction of the
stale bread delivery and substitution.
While the bakers of Minneapolis have no
association or concert Of any kind as re-
CARDS selling figures, all express a de-
sire to avoid raising the present price.

The Gypsfes.

Gypsies were found in England
about 1914, according to "a DIALOGUE
Of Sir Thomas More" 1920, but the
exact year Of their arrival is unknown.
They were present in Scotland In 1905,
and possibly they were the "Saracens''
whose depredations in that country
prior to 1850 are on record.
Bataillard and other authors believe
that gypsies existed in Europe from
immemorial times, for they find no ac-
count Of their crossing the Bosphorous
and no record is known to exist Of
their passage to England or Scotland.
They were better received in these
countries than in any other, but SO
early as 1881 an act was passed re.
quiring the Egyptians to quit the realm
under pain of death, a similar edict
being issued In Scotland in 1641 and al
varying periods In most of the Euro.
pean states.
transportation across the seas was
among the m1lder means adopted and
probably was the cause of much
further dispersion Of the tribes. Under
Henry VIII. gypsies were shipped from
England to Norway or France, and
from France, SO recently as 1902, they
were deported to Africa.
