$4,000 TO THE COOK.
Handsome Christmas Present Given
by Jacob n. Schiff.

New York, Dec. 27.-Jacob H. Schiff,
the banker, gave his cook, Lena, $1,000
for Christmas present, which proves
that Mr. Schiff is very lucky to have
such a cook and that Lena is equally
lucky to have such an employer. Every
one in the Schiff family has the high
est regard for Lena. There is not
dyspeptic atom in hundred dinners she
prepares. Indeed, it is said that the
only reason Mr. Schilf wanted to fight
Cornelius n. Bliss at that famous meet
ing of the Equitable directors was be-
cause Mr.. Schiff was late for dinner
Lena had cooked.
Mrs. Schif gave Lena cluster dia
mond ring, which, as she mikes the may
onnaise, will at once dazzle and encour
age two scullery maids who obey her or
ders in the Schiff Kitchen Mrs. Felix
Werburg, Mr.. Schiff's daughter, present
ed the cook with gold watch and a
neck chain, and Mr. and Mrs. NJ. l..
Schiff sent Lena a handsome check
Lena has well served the Schiffs for
twenty-five years. She is most intel
ligent woman, who came to this coun-
try to teach German and who found it
more profitable to cook in the German
fashion. Twenty-Five years ago she fell
off Christmas tree, so to speak, into
the Schiff household, gift that would
have delighted Lucullus-had he ever
lived in Germany. She is independent
financially. She cooks for the love of the
Schiffs and of her art.

NO GRAFT CHARGES.
First Report Of Examiner on Capitol
Commission Is Filed.

from wednesday DAILY.
A portion of the report of the pub
lie examiner upon investigation of the
sion has been placed i'm the hands of Gov.
johnson.
The governor stated that he had been
assured by Public Examiner Kerst, that
the entire report will be filed with him
before the first of the year.
Mr.. kcrst was in conference with the
governor Immediately after the chief ex-
ecutive returned Shortly afterwards, in
an interview with newspaper man, the
governor said he had not received the
report and that it had not been filed
with him. Secretary Day was called in,
however, and the governor then learned
that the first portion of the report had
been in Mr.. Days hands for some time
and had been finally filed in the gov
ernor's Office. -.
Governor johnson has not examined
the record and has nothing whatever to
say concerning the report. The examin-
er's report is a voluminus document and
practically every contract of the capitol
commission during the past twelve years
has been gone into. There is much spec
ulation as to the nature of the public
examiners recommendations.
1t is generally believed that whatever
criticism there is contained in the report
will not affect the personal reputation of
the members of the commission. That
there will be little of sensational ma
ture disclosed is confidently believed.

WEARY WILLlES FOOLED.
Their Plan to Board at Taxpayers Ex-
pense frustrated.

Michael Kelly and Frank Reed, two
strangers, having heard of the steam
heated hotel maintained by the county
on the hill. and of the fine menu served
by Landlord Williams, concluded that
they would like to pass the winter
there. They took the readiest means,
and last evening Kelly stole buffalo
robe from a buggy in front of liv-
cry barn, and Reed stole case of beer
from wagon standing in an alley back
of saloon. Reed hid the beer a short
distance away. Both men were soon ar
rested, and were locked up, much to
their joy.
When Reed was placed in his CELL he
managed to secrete quart bottle of
beer in his clothing, that the officers did
not notice in searching him. When no
one was looking, he drank the entire
contents of the bottle, the last of the
foamy beverage that made New Ulm fa
nous flowing down his throat while his
officers were attempting to unlock his
sell to take the bottle from him. Only
the empty bottle was passed out. Reed
had gulped down the contents like one
who felt that for sixty days water
would be his only drink.
Chief Donahue decided to disappoint
the two men, so he presented a charge
merely of vagrancy against them, and
Judge Comstock ordered them to leave
the city within an hour, on penalty of
being run over by an automobile, or
some other frightful ending. The men
were escorted to the city limits and told
not to come back until Nlankato has
street cars running.

GAVE, HUBBY A PUNCH.
Ex-Wife Knocks Out the Man Who
DELAYED Law Suit.

Philadelphia, Dec. 2l.-Mrs. Agnes d.
Nagle, who is seeking to compel Theo-
dore NJ. Nagle of Erie, multi millionaire
and president of the Nagle Iron works
to support her daughter, Theodore Ma,
gle, yesterday supplemented the court
proceedings by knocking her ex-hus-
band out by punch on the jaw.
The episode occurred just outside the
doorway of the deserted court. Those
who witnessed the incident say that
Mrs. Nagle swung out with the skill of
a trained boxer, and that the Erie mil
lionaire went down and out.
Mrs. Naglc has been after her hus-
band, who some years ago secured a
divorce from her, for long time. Every
time her case has come up, Nagle had
succeeded in having it postponed. Mrs
Nagle grew weary of this. She bought
a punchingbag and learned the straight
arm jab and the upper cut.
When the Nagle case was called yes
tcrday, she was prepared for disap-
pointment. AS usual, her trial was post
poned. Mrs. Nagle waited in the corridor
until her husband came out. Her
gloved fist shot out and landed squarely
on his jaw. Nagle went down and took
the full count.
Mrs. Nagle waited smiling. "Get up
and let me hit you again." she urged.
The Erie millionaire would not. He
lay with eyes closed, breathing heavily.
Then the Waterman and lawyers closed
in and hustled the woman away.
"Pm glad l landed" she said. 81
practiced that punch for days"
Nagle is under $500 bail here, and
must appear again next Wednesday. 1t
is said he will bring bodyguard.

LAW Is HELD GOOD.
Attorney General Youne's Opinion on
Highway Commission Statute.

The state highway commission law is
declared to be good by Attorney General
Young and his assistant who had taken
the matter up at the request of Henne-
pin county good roads advocates.
Notwithstanding the proposed constitu-
tionai amendment which leaves out all
reference to the creation of the highway
commission it is held that the constitu-
ton authorizes the highway commission
through the general implied authority
which it gives to the legislature to ere
ate boards and commissions of various
kinds.
c. S. Kelley, special attorney general,
has transmitted a formal opinion to
George w. Cooley of Minneapolis, presi-
dent of the State Good Roads assOcia-
tion, in which it is held that the adop-
tion of the proposed amendment to the
constitution will not invalidate the high
way commission law.
The section of the constitution to
which the amendment relates authorizes
a tax for road and bridge purposes and
the creation of a road and bridge fund.
1t is the contention of the attorney gen
eral that the legislature does not need
tany express authority to constitute a
board or commission for the expenditure
of that fund.
The amendment increases the road and
bridge tax from one twentieth of mill
to one-fourth of a mill, or approximate
ly from 100000 to $4,000.
The ruling was asked of the attorney
general because of the fear that the
adoption would legislate the highway
commission out of existence. But with
the assurance of the legal adviser that
there is ample authority left for the
creation of the commission the good
roads people will work encrgetically for
the adoption of the constitutional pro-
vision, which will increase the fund fully
fivefold.
The members of the highway COM
mission will probably be appointed this
week by Governor Johnson. The COM
mission consists of three members, to
be selected from different sections of
the state. There are many applicants for
positions on the board. The Good Roads
association recommended six men and
the governor will give the recommends
tion serious consideration in selecting
the commission.

CAR SHORTAGE ACUTE.
Grain Men Meet In Mankato to Derive
Means Of Relief.

From Fridays Daily.
A meeting of a dozen or fifteen mill
ers and elevator men of Southwestern
Minnesota was held in one of the par
lors of the Saulpaugh yesterday after
noon and last evening. The object of
the meeting was to discuss the car
shortage, which is very acute just now.
Some of the elevators are blocked and
there is stagnation such as has not
existed before for years. The matter
was thoroughly talked over, but no
means of relief were suggested aside
from taking the matter up with the
railroads, which it was decided to do.

From SATURDAYS Daily.
President C.. N. Cosgrove and Sec

state fair returned yesterday from the
international live stock show at Chicago.
They were interviewed by Knabenshue,
the airship expert, who has made mum
Der of successful appearances in the east
and who wants to come to the Minneso-
to fair next summer. Nothing was done
but it is quite possible that an airship
will be one Of the star attractions at the

STEWART ARRAlGNED.
Hearing on Charge Against Him Set
for December 3Oth.

FROM Fridays Daily.
Duane Stewart was arraigned before
Justice Walter A. Plymat of North
Mankato this forenoon on the charge of
non support, preferred by his wife. He
asked to have the matter adjourned so
that he could consult with an attorney,
and the case was continued until Dec.
3Oth at 2 p. m. The bond was placed
at $500, and being unable to furnish it
he was committed to the county jail at
st. Peter.
If Stewart had any thought that ad-
journment of the hearing would give
him chance to make up with his wife
he will be mistaken, if the attitude
which Mrs. Stewart maintained today
is continued.

Pittsburg Club Women Are In
dignant Over Charges.
ARE BEST KIND OF MOTHERS
Many Members Are Young; There
Is Time for Them to have More
Children.

Pittsubry, Pa, Dec. 21.-lndignant
Pittsburg club women have made can
disprove the allegation that "the club
woman commits race suidide and encOur-
ages other women to do So" The result
is vindication they claim. 1t shows
an average of 80 children for each mar
ried woman in the General Federation of
Woman's Clubs.
Twenty-one members, selected at ran
dom, had siXty-two children, an average
of about three children to each member.
While number of the mothers have
but one child, enough have three, four,
five or six to bring up the average. Then,
too, it is pointed out that many of these
mothers are young, and may have more
children in the future.
Many of the clubs carry the names
of the babies of their members on their
membership lists, notably the Womans
Southern club. Three little toddlers at
tends the meetings regularly. Vino
dausis has pretty custom of presenting
each of it's club babies with a bouquet
of roses, tied in the clubs colors. Dur
ing the month of October three children
were born to members of the club, and
the mothers were presented with flowers.
''Clubwomen make the best and
most successful mothers" said Mrs.
Minnie Ourey Roberts, who is the moth
er of seven. "a clubwoman is a mother
woman, and is better fitted by her edu-
cation to Systematically raise a family
in satisfactory way"
Three fourths of the clubwomen l
know have goodsized families" said
Mrs. Ludwig Koethen, Jr., president of
the Woman's Civic club and the mother
of four, 'and they do not neglect their
families. The wOmen's club movement
has not been in existence long enough
possibly to have been factor in any
decrease in the number of children in
this country. | believe that woman needs
relaxation, and that the club offers this
to women, but l do not think they be-
come so interested in club work as to
