SCANDINAVIAN NEWS
PRINCIPAL Events Gathered In the
Old Scandinavian Countries

The labor officials are taking up
much space in the Swedish press and.
occasionally the discussion is quite
heated.
Stockholm, Oct. 14.-William OLSON
and Goesta Kyhlberger, who are at
the head of the movement here to
build challenger for the Americas
cup, say that large portion OF the
money required to construct and sail
ninety-footer, estimated at about
$4,000, has already been subscribed.
Many large manufacturers have Of
fered to furnish material gratis and
the captain and the three mates OF
the yacht will sail her without any
pay, the designer will accept no COM
pensation for his work and the build
ers only will charge the net cost of
construction. Messrs. OLSON and
Kyhlberger think they will now be
able to guarantee funds even for a
ninety fve-footer if required. The re-
port that the Swedish club intends
challenging with either seventy or
a ninety five footer in order to COM
pei the New York Yacht Club to build
a new defender, has no foundation.
The Swedish yaehtsmen are prepared
to challenge with a ninety-footer, and
all reports to the contrary are sharply
denounced in the Swedish papers. The
seeming nonchalance of the New York
Yacht Club in replying to the inquiry
of the Swedish Club was commented
upon in strong terms today at meet
ing of prominent Swedish yachtsmen.
The majority of those present be-
lieved this was in fact an advantage,
as it had aroused keener interest in
Sweden, which was resulting in de-
termination to do everything possible
to bring about a race.

news Of minnesota,
Oscar ped.

st. Cloud-Anna Ouestrusky Jarmu-
EEK, kidnaper of the Giauque baby,
who was taken to the reformatory
recently TO serve sentence for her
crime, made sensational escape from
that institution.
She had not been in the prison long
enough to have her picture taken or
to become very well acquainted with
the officials in charge. She appar-
emily had thought of nothing but
escape after being taken to St. Cloud,
and she waited patiently until oppor-
tunity came.
That Mrs. Jarmuzek is shrewd is
now fully believed by those who have
had anything to do with her. She
first astonished the people of Mime
apolis by successfully kidnapping a
four-day-old child and escaping from
the city. She next startled the Off
Gals by jumping her bail after being
indicted. She was recaptured at her
home near Little Falls. Now she has
escaped from jail just like any des-
perate man, and with a good start
bids fair to make the chase after her
an interesting one.
She was captured at Foley after a
hard struggle with officers and re-
turned to the reformatory.

Death from Fright.

Rushford-Knute Johnson, aged
seventy-three years, resident Of
Rush Creek Valley for six years, liv-
ing at the home of his son-in-law, Ed
Axness, four miles north of Rushford,
met death in Rush Creek from fright
by an accident. Although his body
was found in the water, it was found
that drowning was not the cause Of
his sudden demise
He had been visiting his daughter in
Fremont, and on his return home he
attempted to cross the creek on a
drift log. It is thought he lost his
balance while fording and that his
foot became securely locked between
the trunk and the limb of the tree.
His body, thus suspended, was found
by searching party.
The coroner of Winona county was
summoned and stated that death re-
suited from fright while the aged man
was in the act of falling

A Hard Question.

Stillwater-When a child over six
feet tall and weighing 21O pounds or
more presents himself in a saloon
and asks for drink of liquor, is the
saloonkeeper deserving of a severe
punishment if he fails to discover that
the applicant for refreshments is a
minor? This question was put up to
the pardon board in the petition
for a pardon for Andrew Ledin, SEN
fenced from Isanti county, Sept Is
last, to the county Jail for thirty days
and to pay fine and costs amount
ing to $7686 for selling liquor to a
minor.
The offense was committed in Cam
bridge about a year ago. There is
no denial of the sale of the liquor to
the youth of such ample proportions,
although it is asserted that the sale
was not made by Ledin personally but
by his bartender.

CHINA WORRIED AGAIN

AGGRESSION.

PEKING, November 23-Prince Pu
Lun. who was Chinese envoy at the st.

last was authorized by an imperial edict
to frame regulations for the foundation
of a Chinese parliament, left Picking yes
terday on a state visit to Japan.
The resignation Of Prince Ching. Yuan
shi Kai and Chang Chth Tun. from the
ministry Is rumored Oh account of the
failure to inaugurate a unified policy.
The tension of Chinese relations with
Great Britain has been increased, owing
to the opposition in the province of Che
kiang to loans to concessionists at first
sanctioned by the government, but later
annulled because of the local antago-
nism.
Manchurian Railway.
Japan's aggressive attitude also is caus-
ing much anxiety since the return to his
post Of Minister Hayashi with the pur-
pose Of resuming the negotiations on the
Manchurian questions. Japans intentions
are disclosed in an intimation Of COM
ing pronouncement on the doctrine of
China's invalid sovereignty over Man
churia. Japan already has advanced an
extreme Interpretation of the South Man
churian railway charter so as to include
rights beyond the points Of Russia's for
mer claims.
These rights. meaning Independent COM
munications. etc, are astonishing the Rus
sian diplomats, and also are significant of
the victor's rights as secured by war.
They now practically claim certain rights
over all Manchuria and China. Great
Britain's position Is that she is unable to
interfere except in case of proof of a
Japanese invasion of Chinese sovereignty
subsequent to the date of the evacuation
of Manchuria in April
