DR.. Hugh Nelson Explains Refusal to
Admit His Children


DIR. Hugh Nelson, arrested on war
rant charging the non-support of his
children, was discharged in municipal
court yesterday morning on motion of
Assistant County Attorney Wilson
Some time ago the two little daugh-
tiers of DR.. Nelson came to visit him for
the summer from Butte, Mont. They
arrived on late train and he failed to
meet them at the depot. Employees at
the depot hired a hack driver to take
the children to the doctors home, but
when they arrived he refused to let
them into the house. The hack driver
took the children to his own home and
returned again the next morning, but
he says they were again refused adj
mittance by the doctor.
The case was brought before the hui
name society and a warrant was issued
for DIR. Nelson's arrest. The children
were living with their mother, who had
been divorced from the doctor seven
years ago, but had always spent the
summers with their father in Mime
apolis. According to the divorce rul-
ing the mother was given the custody

WEED OUT ALL THE
BOGUS ASSOCIATIONS
So Says the President of the United
States Building and Loan Bodies

SAULT STE. MARIE, Mich, July 26.
The features at the annual meeting
of the United States Building and Loan
associations were the annual address
of the president and the report of the
secretary. The attendance of members
is good and the interest great, and 1t
is likely that action will be taken look
ing to an aggressive campaign against
the bogus and speculative associations,
to which particular attention was call
ed by President James Clarency, of
Philadelphia. He made plea for the
preservation of the local building as
ISOLATION system. He said the princi-
pie should be preserved because the
system is gradually gaining an inter-
national reputation and attracting the
attention of political economists
throughout the world. He urged state
department bank officials not to permit
the working people to be deceived by
bogus building associations. Agrees
sive warfare should be waged against
such bogus associations until they are
completely eliminated. The invasion of
the building association ranks and the
deception of the working people by the
SPECTATORS will, if permitted to go un-
checked, become the grayest danger,
and, in fact, threaten the very founda-
ton of the institution.
Secretary H. f. Cellarius, of Gin
cinnati, said in his annual report:
1.-The business of the local building
and loan associations of the United
States has been very satisfactory dur
ing the past year; and, while the net
increase in the aggregate assets is not
as large as it might be on account of
an apparent decrease of nearly $780,
000, 600 in Ohio, resulting from the re-
organization of building associations
into trust companies, yet material
advance has been made both in assets
and membership. There are now in
the United States 5,30S local building
and loan associations, with a total
membership of 1855, 700, and assets
amounting to $579,555, 112 This is
met increase in assets for the year OF

ing over Sc, 000. 900 more resources than
a year ago, but because number of the
large associations in Cleveland, whose
assets aggregate about SIG, 000. 900, left

JOHN LIND TALKS ON
ISSUES OF CAMPAIGN
Congressman Addresses 700 at Session
Of University Summer School

Congressman John Lind lectured be-
fore 700 students and professors at the
university summer school yesterday
on the issues of the pending national
campaign from a Democratic stand
point.
He said that he was talking as an
American citizen, also as a Democrat,
although perhaps not as prudent
Democrat. He dwelt at length on
trusts, tariff and Imperialism ''The
trust question in the present campaign
is merely matter of wind" said he.
Both parties will seek to use this
question as rallying cry, but it is not
a matter which will be settled by stat
utes and court decisions. 1t may be
said that it has been killed, butit real
ly exists as serenely as ever. There is
one way to lessen the evils of the trust
without direct legislation, and that is
to lower the tariff
According to Mr.. Lind the tariff is
not a vital question; that is, it does
not mean life or death to the country.
He believes that it is one of the most
important economic questions and that
by bringing the tariff down to the
Democratic level the trusts would be
forced by competition to bring their
prices down to point where the pub
lie would be benefited.
Congressman Lind did not really
warm up 10 his SUBJECT Q0lll he
preached the imperialism question,
and he denounced the holding of terri
tories without the consent of the gov
erned in terms strong and impassion-
ed
He said that the Republican party
had been in power so long that the
public service had become one OF
prof1igate expenditure.
Millions are wasted each year to go
to such people as the twenty-five
street sweeping supervisors in the city
of Washington, who receive higher SAL
aries than the professors in the uni
versities,'' said Mr.. Lind. What we
need is a sweeping out, a new broom
There are bound to be a great many
rascals in office. What we contend is
that there are too many, and we pro-
pose 10 put as many rascals out and
as many good men in as is possible
The issues of the campaign from a
Republican standpoint will be dis
cussed by Congressman ]. T. Nc

director, III. c. Spencer, and Cashier w.
G. Spencer, father and son, were mys-
teriously drowned here last week, has
closed its doors pending an investigation
by national bank examiners. The bank
has been closed since the drowning, but
no reason was assigned until today, when
amner had been called For bv f an
rectors. 1t is known that there is a
shortage due to the Spencers, but it's
amount will not be known until the ex-
aminer reports. The stockholders of the
bank, however win be abundantly able to
take care of all deposits. The drowning
of the Spencers. who were good swimmers,
is a mystery which is still unexplained.

BRITISH GOVERNMENT
CALLS 1T AN OUTRAGE


LONDON, July 26.-The British govern
ment is taking energetic action in the case
OF the sinking of the British steamer
Knight Commander by the Vladivostok
squadron. All information received by
the government tends to establish in the
Official mind a belief that an outrage has
been committed for which no excuse exists
IN international law. Those aware of the
feelings of the ministry said tonight that
all the members of the cabinet are in
accord regarding the principle of the in
volatility of innocent neutrality shipping,
as well as upon the principle that a neu-
tral ship cannot be destroyed even if car
rv1ng contraband of war.
The demands which will be made upon
the Russian government will include com
pensat ton to the owners of the ship and
TO the owners of the goods on board the
Knight Commander, an apology for the
action of the Russian cruisers and an
agreement that instructions be given
which will prevent repetition of such
action. British ship owners are I'D in
arms over the dangers which shipping is
now running and are bombarding the gov
eminent with representations looking to
the thorough protection of their interests.
