LONDON, Sept. 22.-Bribery at cleo

the. present moment. In the records
Of Gorha injury, which have Just been
issued in book form by the historical
manuscripts commission, is letter
from Sarah, duchess of Marlborough,
which throws an interesting side light
on how the thing used to be done at
st. Adams.
Writing to the first Viscount Grims-
ton in 1927, she says: "I had an ac-
count from st. Adams that Mr.. Lo-
max's interest is so strong that your
lordship and my grandson cannot be
chosen without spending and bribing to
the amount of $4,000, | am determined
to have no more to do with elections.
| think it better to keep the money to
help pay the taxes that a single men,
ber can't prevent. This / think l ought
to acquaint you with the minute I have
taken my resolution in return for your
civility to me, and because l really
think a man of your fortune, who in
herits such a place from your ancestors.
and that lives so near st. Albans, ought
to be chosen in that borough without
bribing or doing more than is proper
for man of birth in treating"

BOY OF 19 TO BE TRIED
FOR TRIPLE MURDER
specIal Cable to The Herald.


SYDNEY. Sept. ga lad named
Brown. only IS years of age. who is
about to be tried for the murder of an
and their servant, GillicS. tells an ex-
traordinary story as to his motive for
the crime.
He says he had no grudge against
the O'Keefes, who had been most kind
to him. But he was member of a
secret society whose objects were to
start revolution in favor ofsa white
Australia The oaths binding the
members were, he declares. SO strin-
gent that he would hang before he
gave the names of his associates.
The society was short of funds; and
it was decided that O'Keefe's bank
books much be stolen. He was
deputed for this work, and set out on
Sunday, armed with bayonet and a
sandbag. He had, he ltates, no in
tenton of murder, but meant merely
to stun the old couple by means of the
sandbag.
/ He found Mrs. OKeefe seated by
the fire, and struck her on the head
with the sandbag. The bag burst, and
the old lady struck Brown on the
neck with a bottle. Mr.. O'Keefe ran
to his wife's help with gun, and then
Brown stabbed both of them. Gillick
appeared at the end of the struggle and
flung himself on Brown, who stabbed
him Is well. ~
Brown cannot be induced to express
the slightest regret forahis crimes, or
to divulge even the name of the secret
society at whose orders he attempted

"CASTLES IN THE AIR" A
PROPOSITION FOR BERL IN
,pecIal Cahle to INC Herald.

special came TO Inc Herald.
BERLIN, Sept. 22.-"Castles in the
air" is the name given here to a re-
markable project which has been laid
before the municipality of Berlin by
DR.. Scherl. and which the city fathers
are. now considering. DR.. Scherl's idea
is to erect in various parts of the city
places for recreation and refreshment
high over the turmoil bustle noise
and evil smells of the strets, These
places would be built on steel supports,
about 100 feet high, and would be a
sort of covered-in pavilions, with
seats. where beer, lemonade and water
would be supplied ad libitum. The
cost of these constructions would be
so insignificant that the city could un-
dertake them with the certainty of a
profit. One other advantage would be
possessed by these "air castles" The
municipality would not pay any ground
rent, and instead of being unsightly,
they might by rendered, by judicious
and artistic architects, things of beauty,
affording a striking and effective end
ing to many a street vista otherwise
sordid and commonplace.

The story of the remarkable work OF
city building, accomplished in Mime
apolis in much less than the ordinary
span of human life, is to be told in q
new book to be published this year by
Horace B. Hudson, whose long connec-
ton with the press and considerable
historical work has given him a par
ticular familiarity with the history OF
the city. $50. p : -
A few years ago Mr.. Hudson wrote
ga Half Century of Minnesota. - 1t
was the story Of the fifty years from
the organization of the territory to
1899. He now proposes to tell the story
of Minneapolis From the year 1856,
when it was incorporated by the legis-
lature, and will call the new book q A
Half Century of Minneapolis. " as..a
The earlier period of settlement will
be touched upon, but in the main the
work will be a history Of Minneapo-
years which followed 1S55-up to which
date it had not been recognized even
as a village, most of the settlers being
squatters on unopened government land.
Mr.: Hudson has planned a work which
will be concise, divided into chapters
and subdivisions, which will make it
easy of reference, we'll illustrated, and,
generally, an up-to-date, reliable and
creditable history Of the city.
No history Of the city has been writ
ten 10 for many yeaMTi while large part TT
the last decade. There is a continual
demand for something up-to-date, and
this demand Mr.. Hudson will attempt
to supply. He has already received
much substantial encouragement and
warm commentator.

SERIO-COMIC GIRL QUITS

"'The Serio- Comic ,Girl'' is no more.
When the curtain descended on the last
act in st. Paul Saturday night the
piece went out Of existence for the
time being and probably forever. The
s. G. damsel was not winner, there
fore it went '''bump." The principals
folded their workbenches and paints
and have hied themselves to that dear
New York where they will look for
other contracts.
Frank Howe, Jr., proprietor of the
show is backing Charles Grapevine in
a farce comedy, :" It s Up to You, John
Henry, and will probably call in the
principals Of the defunct serio-comic.
Frank G. Cotter, his manager with the
wreck, insists that the show was not
so bad, but that it was unjustly treated
and died Of unkindness, hard luck and
neglect. The piece was played last
season under a different name and has
had a few changes this year. It has
been out since Sept. 5, but has been
working from bad to worse all the time.

the league did not indorse the lobby
proposition, and that the officers raised
their fund to maintain the lobby by
soliciting twin city business men.
The drainage interests that are at
outs with the officers maintain that the
work of the league was chiefly to edu-
cate southern Minnesota and the twin
cities to understand that drainage IS q
state affair, that the lands to be drained
belong to the state and that all tax
payers are to be benefited. The propo-

The Crookston Times makes this edi-
torial comment:
The officers Of the league failed in
their efforts to- raise money in the
northern part Of the state for drain
age lobby and thereupon transferred
their :, operations to the twin cities,
and marked ignorance as to the real
interests Of the northern half Of the
state, and there the officials of the
League succeeded in securing subscrip-

rumors, no information upon the sub

Minneapolis gets the worst of it on
short distances, but on the longer hauls
the rate is lower. This is because the
Omaha is the short line from Minneap-
oplis to southwestern Minnesota, and
makes the Milwaukee s rates low for
the distance covered.
The Minneapolis & St. Louis gives
distributing rates out of Albert Lea
which are higher on some distances and
lower on others than the rates out of
Minneapolis for the same distance. On
some distances they, tally exactly: From
Minneapolis to Clarkfeld, ISL miles, the
rate is so gents, and from Albert Lea
to Winthrop, 159 miles, it is also so
cents. ~
The Omaha s distributing rates out of
Mankato correspond in the main with
rates from the twin cities. From Man
kato to Fairmont, 81 miles, the rate is
25 cents, and from Minneapolis to
Blakeley, 81 miles, it is also 25 cents.
From Mankato to Worthington, SO
miles, it is 80 cents, and from Minneap-
oils to Minneopa, 90 miles, it is 80 cents.
The Omaha's rate from Mankato to
Lake Wilson; Ill miles, is 40 cents. and
from Minneapolis to Vernon Center, 100
miles, it is 81 cents. Mankato's rate
to Pipestone, 40 cents, for 1929 miles, is
the same as the Minneapolis rate to
Blue Earth l32 miles.
The Great Western also gives distrib-
uting rates out Of Faribault, and they
correspond with twin city rates, except
where short haul competition forces
changes. The 40-mile haul from Fart
bault to Rich Valley costs 20 cents, and
the 40-mile haul from Minneapolis to
Waterford is also 90 cents. From Fari-
bault to Dodge Center is sixtytwo
miles, and it is the same distance from
Minneapolis to West Concord The
same rate, 33 cents on frst-class, gov,
erns each haul. The Minneapolis Man
kato rate, for 99-mile haul, is only 80
cents, being held down by the Omaha 8
short-hau rate, and so is much lower
than the Faribault-Lyle rate, covering
the same distance, which is 81 cents
The table covers this disputed ground
thoroly, and a close study of it will con.
vince merchants in the smaller centers
that they are getting a 'tsquare deal -
and no unfair rate manipulation in the
interests of the twin cities. as far as
Minnesota rates are concerned.
