RAIL ROADS SHOULD COOPERATE.

If the Western Passenger associa-
ton will settle the question of sum-
mer tourist rates in Minnesota right
now. it will help whole lot in the
publicity campaign of the Twin
Cities. From layman's point of
view there is no reason on earth
why the outside world should not
have every possible opportunity to
enjoy the unsurpassed summer ad-
vantages of Minnesota.-Ralph
Wheelock, in the St. Paul Pioneer
Press.
The cooperation of the railway
companies in exploiting the wonder
full beauties of northern Minnesota
lakes and our unequaled attractions
as summer resorts, as we'll as offering
tourist rates to these parts," are
much desired. The outside world
knows too little of this most beauti-
full portion of the great North Star

way companies have been altogether
to lavish in their inducements to the
public to visit Canada and other re-
mote points.

THAW REVIEWS FIGHT
FOR FREEDOM TODAY
Mother Seeks His Release on
Habeas Corpus Writ

Nyack, N. Y, Jan. For the third
time since the commitment of Harry
K. Thaw to the state hospital for the
Insane at Matteawan his case came
into court today, when arguments
were made before Supreme Court JUS
t1ce Tompkins on the writ of habeas
corpus obtained by his mother, Mrs.
Mary G. Thaw.
In the new proceedings Mrs. Thaw
asks that her sons sanity be tested
by a jury trial. She says, among
other things, that her son is not a
criminal, having been acquitted by a
jury; that he is now sane and should
not be kept prisoner in the asylum.
In the previous attempts of Thaw
to be freed from the asylum he was
opposed by his mother, but, after
spending much time at Matteawan,
visiting him daily, she is, she says,
convinced that he is not insane.

BRITT TO FIGHT A GAuL
Will Go Twenty Rounds With Adolphe
in Paris Tonight.

Paris Jan. French followers Of
''le boxe," as they call prize fighting
over here in their funny language,
are using their tongues, hands and
feet today in their excitement over
tonight's fight between their idol,
,Adolphe, and Jimmy Britt, the former
lightweight champion of America.
Paris Is fight mad just now, anyway.
3 Like many another formerly good
man with his mitts Britt has been
over here recently getting some easy
pickings, but he will have hard nut
to crack in the shifty little French
man.
American fighters who have seen
Adolphe in his training quarters de-
clare that he is head and shoulders
over any other French fighter and has
the making Of a first class man.
While Britt is by no means the
fighter. he was several years ago a
victory for Adolphe over the former
champion will give him immense pres
tige and undoubtedly lead to his com.
ing to America.
