CHECKERS

Charles Hefter of Chicago, rated as one of the
among the checker experts of this city Saturday
and Sunday departing for Chicago Sunday
ming. From an article published in the Chicago
Inter Ocean of Sunday it presumed he was
after scalps, especially that Of G.. A. Pierce
who had challenged him. and FIVE others of the
ten chosen representatives on the American team
for the American-Great Britain international
match which takes place next month. Following
Is the note by the Inter Ocean editor:
q "Charles Hefter has takena run to Aiinneap-
oils and proposes to call Mr.. Pierce's bluff by
Offering to play him any kind Of checkers for
from IS to $40 game. ,.s.- 1911
Calvert to bind match with Denvir, only to be
withdrawn, can now be called into requisition.
We are willing to wager an etght-day clock
against a checkerman that Pierce will permit
Mr.. Hefter to return to Chicago without playing
him game. Time will tell.''
The local talent were ready for their man and
preparations were quickly made to match both
G. A. Pierce and Bert Titus against Mr.. Hefter.
Business matters necessitated Mr.. Hefter's re-
of the local talent fell thru.
The following and only game played between
G. A. Pierce. and Mr.. Hefter will be of wide
spread interest to checker players: tf.
Mr.. Pierce, with the black men, permitted Mr.
Hefter to name the opening move. He elected
the weak Denny. At the eleventh move Pierce
purposely played what to most experts would be
considered lost game, in fact witness to the
contest, Judging by the Chicago experts demean-
or, thought the local man was in trouble. Pierce
played carefully and surprised his opponent and
spectators with a brilliant game appended with

Members Of Congressional Dele
CATION Favor Extension to
Cover State Officers.
BY w. w. Jermane.

Washington, Feb. IA careful poll
of the Minnesota delegation in CON
gress shows strong sentiment in favor
of the proposition now before the Min
nesota legislature to extend the primary
law to cover state officers. In all
probability the present disrupted con-
dition of republican state politics ex-
plains in part the existence Of this SEN
timent, alth0 the members, when seen
by The Journal correspondent, argued
in favor Of the proposed legislation
from the broad ground that if the law
is good for the subordinate offices it
ought to be good for all the Others
It is believed here that an effort may
be made next year to stir up trouble
for Senator Nelson, and it is not i'm
probable that if the primary law were
extended to state officers it would help
smooth things out for Nelson when his
time comes for reelection. He might
easily, thru no fault Of his, become
embroiled, thru his friends at home,
in a nasty contest for the guberna-
torial nomination, and suffer as a re-
suit.
The extension Of the primary law
would avert such possible entangle.
ment and leave the senatorship to be
decided on its merits, which would
mean Nelson s return without dissent.
ing republican vote.
d Members Of the delegation are fol
lowing the legislative reports with
much interest. In the main, they be-
lieve that the primary extension would
be wise, and even those of them who
do not favor it will not put anything
in it's way.

be satisfied with wigs Of different
shades, many resorting to the plain
sorrel top or the ordinary brick red.
Wig dealers were unable to account
for the remarkable strength of the
market, as no social functions requir-
ing the use Of DISCUSSES, especially red

had taken nearly everything in sight
that the dealers learned that the Or

WHERE WILL The
PAY COME FROM?
GEORGE BURLINGTON SERVED IN
TWO POSITIONS.
State Court Appointed Him Assignee
and Federal Court Appointed Him
Receiver of a Bankrupt Company-Is
Discharged AS Assignee Now Wants
His Fees.

George Burlington has been carrying
a dual role of assignee under the direc-
ton OF the state court and receiver
under the United States court for the
bankrupt Kenyon Rosing Machine com
pany. The point raised is an unusual
one, and the vital question now arises,
how and from whom, if at all, he is
going to receive pay for his services and
an allowance of his accounts.
Unable to go into voluntary bank
ruptcy, the corporation, about three
months ago, assigned. Mr.. Burlington
was appointed assignee by Judge A. M.
Harrison. Since that time, as the SER
want OF the court, he has collected
about $2l, 900. and disbursed, including
his own fees, about $4,000.
a short time ago upon the application
ct one Of the company's creditors, the
Kenyon Rosing Machine company was
declared bankrupt and Mr.. Burlington
was appointed receiver by the federal
court. ND
This morning the parties came before
Judge ID. F. Simpson, in the state court,
with motion to discharge Mr.. Buffing-
ton as receiver. The court s first
thought was that he could not be dis
charged until his accounts had been al
law it was discovered that the federal
court had jurisdiction and that the
state court had no, authority to allow
accounts, give fees or make any other
adjudication of the case. Some deci-
sions were cited where assignees under
similar conditions had not been allowed
fees or their disbursements been recog-
nized. The authority Of the federal
court was recognized and an order is,
sued discharging the assignee, Mr..
Burlington viii have to take a chance
on getting his accounts allowed and his
fees paid.

to the employees and the conduct of in
situations generally, on the following
basis: = 7-:--~ r. ".-
Laborers, artizans, and those en-

NEW COMPANY MUST
FIGHT FOR FRANCHISE


g.. G.. Goodrich, vice president Of the
Twin City Rapid Transit company, re-
turned from the east today. When asked
if he had anything to say about an
electric road to Minnetonka, he put on
one Of those smiles which he wears
habitually and confessed that he had
heard something about new develop
ments Of that kind. His company had
contemplated the construction Of
trolley line to the lake and might build
it as soon as it seemed likely to be
profitable. He had learned that some
other people were planning to build a
suburban line which would touch Ex-
celsior. He didn't see any reason why
they should not build If they thought it
would pay.
He did not think their action would
affect the plans Of the Rapid Transit
company materially.
AS to the entry Of the new company
into this city he said his company
would be perfectly willing. to allow It
to come in on Rapid Transit tracks for
a fair consideration, but would not be
willing to have it come in on any other.
1t was fair inference from what he
said that the street car company will
oppose vigorously the application Of the
new company for the privilege Of using
any streets in Minneapolis for its own
tracks.

Municipal Judge G. i. Smith took up
the work Of the criminal branch for the

that he intends GLOWING the precedent
set by Judge Waite in searching deep
for the merits Of cases. Some OF those
before him today were treated from an

to the case and these were important
factors in determining the sentences.

Judge Smith also holds that pro-
stationary sentence may be a more Sc
we're punishment than a workhouse sen,
tence in some cases. Sam Buck, an old
offender, was convicted of vagrancy
and was placed on probation, that the
police might have hold on him for

sentence of sixty days because he made

into consideration. e.. ~, ,.-
Judge Smith says he has not marked
