The publication of these facts dur

SURETY COMPANY PUTS UP MONEY
FOR WARNER SHORTAGE.
Its Attempt to Evade the Payment
Fails; Threat to Not Renew Con.
Germs License in Minnesota Proved
Affective; It's Stipulated That No
Criminal Prosecution Shall Follow

| st. Paul, March l5.-Thc National
Surety company has discharged its liza
| bility to the state on account of the
$4,000 Judgment secured against Fen
! ton c. Warner. former state oil in.
spcctor. The amount for which the
| company was liable was 1922 16. Mr..
Warner recently filed II petition in
, bankruptcy. I.
| Shortly after it was discovered that
certain fees due the state had not been
turned over suit was begun by the
state against Mr.. Warner and the
surety company as Joint defendants.
Because the surety company did not
care to be sued. the attorney generals
department omitted its name from
the suit upon Il promise given that
the amount due on the Warner bond
would be paid to the state.
Attempt to Evads Payment.
When Judgment was obtained
against Mr.. Warner. the surety com
pany refused to pay the amount due
OH its bond on the ground that the
company had not been made party
Ito the suit Several conferences were
held between Pierce Butler. acting for
the company, Governor johnson and At
torney general George I. Simpson The
promise was admitted but the com
pany seemed inclined to take refuge
behind the strict application of the
law.
1t was plainly intimated to the rep
rescntatives of the company that it
must pay it's obligation or cease to do
business in the state. Governor Johnson
said, in SO many words, that unless
the amount was paid, the license of
the company to do business i'll the
state would not be renewed.
This proved a convincing argument
and the Surety company discharged its
liability to the state +
No Criminal Prosecution.
In the judgment which the state
obtained against Mr.. Warner was a
stipulation that the discrepancy was
entirely free from criminal intent;
that it was, i'll effect, the result of
misunderstanding as to the fees that
he should collect for the state.
This stipulation will bar the surety
company from instituting criminal pro-
eeedings against Mr.. Warner, on his
bond.

Cities and Towns Can Vote on Il
License Question.

st. Paul, March l6.-Villages, towns
and cities may vote OH the license
Question, according to Assistant Attor-
ney General Weeks Several towns
throughout the state are in uuan-
dary as to what to do on this eues-
ton. Fergus Falls has voted on it
many times i'll years past, and has
once gone dry, but later relented A
new charter was adopted and the pro-
visions for voting on tine question was
omitted. When this was discovered
the anti-saloon people feared they
tion to vote again.
The anti-license people, who have
been looking into the law, find that
section 1923 of the general statutes
gives all "towns and villages" the right
to vote on the question upon petition
of ten voters, and that section 55l4
provides that ''thc word town may
include cities, villages, boroughs OF dis
trcts pugnant to the provisions of any
act relating thereto" The anti license
people claim that this gives them tine
right to vote, and have petitioned the
city clerk for the submission of the
license question to vote. 1t has
been reported that the attorney gen
erals office is inclined to the opinion
that cities have the right to vote un-
der it's provisions. The city attorney
of Fergus Falls is said TO have written
the attorney general Saturday to find
out if this is the case, and, if SO, he
will recommend that the question be
submitted. There are several cities in
the state, the charters of which fail to
provide for a vote on the license ques-
ton
In the absence of Attorney General
George L. Simpson, who was out of
the city yesterday, Mr.. Weeks said
that he did not know of any commune
ication from the city attorney of Fer
gus Falls, but it was his opinion that
the people could vote OH the question
if the city clerk was properly petit
toned by ten legal voters.

Money, and Is Happy. -

! Lakcns, it's the bargain of your life;

two strangers waved his hand in a
broad sweep that took in Sherman
Park. Garfield bouletard. and Center
avenue. and Thomas j. Lakens. far
mer and cattle raiser from Carroll Ia,

then, sadly enough two city detectives
topped up. They told the farmer he
was being buncoed and arrested his
two companions. Robert Raymond
thirty four years old. and John How,
ard. thrty-six years old, well-known
confidence men.
Remark Caused Arrest.
\ remark made by one of the men
resulted in the arrest. The men were
showing Lakcns through Sherman Park,
pointing out the different buildings,
calling his attention to the beautiful
scenery, the hill and lagoons. and the
many other features when Detectives
Cornelius and Daniel Driscoll passed.
The detectives followed tine trio, and
finally, satisfied that Lakens was be-
ing taken in,' the detectives asked
for an explanation. Not being able to
tell good story, the confidence men
were taken to the Stock Yards Police
Station to make further explanation to
Inspector Clancy. The inspector i'm
mcdiately recognized them.
1t was only after much persuasion
and arguing that Inspector Clancy in
duced the farmer to believe the pri-
soners were not as they represented.
Thought He Had Good Bargain.
SWELL, / thought had good bar
gain and that you were trying to get
it away from me-" he said. "You poll
ice are great fellows, anyway. How
did you know he was trying to soak
me?"
Lakens said he came to Chicago
Monday with load of cattle and met
one of the confidence men the next
day at Root and Halsted streets. The
man told Lakens he was a cattle ship.
per and lived i'll Montana.
The stranger then took Lakens for
q street car ride and they went to
Sherman Park. Here they met
second man who happened" to know
the man with Lakens, He was intro
duccd to Laskens and explained he
was looking over his estate with a
view to selling it.

WILL TEND TO REDUCE CRIME.
That Bill to Obolish the Market for
Stolen Wheat.

| st. Paul, March IA bill in
tended to reduce Juvenile crime i'll
Minnesota by at least twenty-five per
! cent by abolishing the markets for
stolen wheat. will be introduced into
the legislature this week by the Hen
nepn delegation.
1 The bill will be introduced at the
request of the juvenile court several
district Judges and unofficial organiza
tions interested in the welfare of chill
dren. The records show that more than
% per cent of juvenile court arraign-
ments are ON charges of stealing wheat
| i'll railroad yards. Many boys arrested
for other crimes admit that they began
their career by stealing wheat from
the grain cars.
The proposed law provides that any
person who shall purchase wheat from
minor who has obtained it dishon-
estly shall be guilty of misdemeanor
and on conviction shall be punished by
fine not exceeding 500 or impris-
onment not exceeding ninety days. The
burden of proof that the minor came
by the wheat honestly is placed on the
purchaser and the fact that wheat is
bought from minor furnishes grounds
Tor arrest.
BY removing the market supporters
of the bill expect to do away with the
stealing, as railroad detectives would
, follow the minor and find the purchaser.
! He could then arrest them both. Az
long the wheat can be sold, BOYS
will take it from the cars, say the of
ficials. They begin by sweeping cars,
tncn they take grain from full cars
and finally venture to break car seals
