tive Pleaded Guilty.

New York, May 2l.-Frank West
Rollins, former governor of New
Hampshire made his promised state
ment yesterday, in answer to the
charges OF conspiracy to defraud the
government of customs duties brought
against him by customs inspectors

plea OF guilty, and Judge Hand, sitting
in the United States Circuit Court,
construed it as an admission that Mr..
Rollins had violated the law know
ingly, willfully and maliciously," and
fined him $4,000. The law provides a
maximum penalty of two years in
prison, fine of $4,000, or both.
The former governor took big roll
of bills from his pocket and paid his
fine without comment.
The total value of articles which
Gov. Rollins failed to declare is given
as $4,736. The original complaint
named Mrs. Rollins, his wife, and
their son Douglas, as parties to the
conspiracy, but the grand jury hand
ed down but one indictment, naming
only the former governor. AS soon
as Mr.. Rollins learned Of 1t he prompt
~ entered his plea. and, when he had
paid his fine. visited the customs
house. where it is said he paid an ad-
ditional $500 in duties, on the under
standing that further proceedings
against his family be dropped.

ST. Paul, Mimi, Oct. 12-One OF

but not soon. Still there are those
who believe the time is not far of
when Minnesota will have one great
city with a population Of 100000 or
more.
Once upon a time there was a riv-
TRY between the two cities that Dor
dered upon the bitterest enmity. Such
feeling has been gradually fading
away in the last few years. Nowadays
you seldom hear a st. Paul man say
ing anything against Minneapolis,
and vice versa. 1t used to be that

I hand. Now such efforts to win ap
plause on a stage in either city meet
with little or no encouragement.
This animosity between the two
cities has Just died a natural death
1t grows less and less each year. Some
time ago the newspapers of the two
cities kept the feeling up. There
was bitter rivalry between them. Sell
dom a day passed that the editorial
and news columns didn't contain slaps
at the rival city. This is all a thing
Of the past. If there happens to be
a crime wave in Minneapolis such
time, the st. Paul newspapers make
no more mention of 1t than they
would in their own bailiwick Min
neapolis shows st. Paul the same
courtesy. The st. Paul Pioneer Press's
Minneapolis office is in the Minnea
polls Tribune building. The Minnea-
polls Tribune's st. Paul headquarters
are in the building occupied by the
Pioneer Press and Dispatch.

II ever ST. Paul and Minneapolis come
to the point on the consolidation
question It is likely that there will be
a split over the name. The manag
ing editor of the st. Paul newspaper
however, is authority for the state
ment that they'll just call 1t the Twin
City and let it go at that" But there
are others who do not share in his
opinion. st. Paul people naturally
would want the greater city to be

their own name. The two cities
could not be consolidated without
an act of the legislature. 1t probably |
would mean the consolidation of two |

bring such a proposition before the

Another obstacle is that st. Paul is

BOYS FORM FIRST

Eight Lads Organize Hawks, -
Adopt Official Manual and

FRED MOTT IS AT HEAD
Citizens Committee Planning to In
terest All Schools in Rock Is
land I'm Movement.

Boys whose homes are in the vi.
cinfty of Twenty-third street are the
pioneers in the introduction of the
American scout movement in Rock
Island, an organization that was in
dorsed at meeting Of citizens held
yesterday for the purpose of encour-
aging the youth of the city to i'm
prove their spare hours in beneficial
pursuits.
The Hawks" is the name of the
first local patrol of the scouts. The
members are Fred Motz, Hubert
Ward. Worthy Christensen, Gene
Lundberg. Leo Pinkerton, George
Gregory, Neil Mcneil and Raymond
Walker. Fred Motz is leader and
Hubert Ward is corporal The boys
have been organized one week. They
have adopted all of the rules of the
American Boy Scouts, and have en-
tered enthusiastically into the work
Already there have been two hikes
into the country.
Committee Has Plans In Hand.
An executive committee appointed
at the meeting yesterday composed
OF II. S. Gable, w. H. Dart, A. d.
Sperry, H B. Hayden and r. G.
Smedley is entrusted with the work
ing out OF plan OF organization in
the city. All of the schools, public
and parochial, are to be interested
to the end that every boy in the
city between the ages of IL and IS
years may have the advantages of the
helpful work provided for under the
rules OF the American Boy Scouts.
Ernest Seton Thompson is author
of the American edition of the
scouts manual, and a supply of the
the books is to be ordered by w. P.
zimmerman of L. S. McCabe & Co.
The scout idea originated in Eng
land and has been effectively en-
ployed among the youth of that en-
pire.
Many cities of America have
adopted the movement; in fact it
has spread so rapidly that already
a national headquarters has been
established in New York city. 1t is
purely a voluntary organization, and
is carried on without expense to the
members.
Must Pay Own Way.
However, the boy must pay his
own way; that is, purchase with his |
individual means whatever in the |
way of tools or wearing apparel are
