The following special telegram was
published in The Redwing Republican
last evening:
"Mankato August 1.-THE owners
of the local autO-truck company,
known as the Four-Traction Auto
company, had a meeting this after
noon with G. f. HjermStad of the
Redwing Motor company regarding
the removal to RedWing and the pro-
posed consolidation. Three plans for
consolidation will be submitted to the
RedWing company, along lines sug-
gested by stockholders of that COM
pany and it is expected at least one
of these plans will be acceptable to
all concerned.
'The amount involved in the trans
action is said to be $4,000.
Statement of Mr.. Rosenberger.
Ernest Rosenberger, head of the
Four-TractiOn company, stated to
The Free Press today that Mr..
Hjermstad has returned to Red
wing. He carried with him the three
propositions which were mentioned
in this newspaper last evening. If
either one is accepted by the Red
wing company the plant will be re-
moved to that CITY,
Would Rather Remain Here.
Mr. Rosenberger said that he would
much rather the plant should remain
in Mankato; that he personally is
interested in the upbuilding of this
city, but on the other hand he can
hardly refuse the fattering offers
made by the Redwing people. Should
they conclude to negotiate the deal
to successful conclusion he will
have to give up his long cherished
hope of building up an utOmanufac-
turing industry in this city.

gard, later. Her marriage to Mr..

Rapidan, where her husband has re-
sided some forty years.
Mrs. Reynolds is survived by her
husband and three children, and also
by her parents, four brothers and
two sisters, who reside at Wahkon,
MINI. She was a true and loving
wife and mother and kind friend

sympathy of all in their great loss.

the residence at eleven o'clock Mon
day forenoon, and the interment will
be made at the Garden City GENE
terry.
The funeral services over the re-
mains of the late Christian Correll

Washington, D. c., August 10.-TOO
much sQuabbling among senator's and
representatives over the monopoly OF
the front page of the Congressional
Record has caused an upheaval in
that ancient institution and com
plete change of the make up of the
publication. The set speeches which
have adorned the opening pages since
the days before the war will be rele
gated to the back part of the journal
No longer will the senator or con-
gresham awake in the morning to
find his name emblaZoned in fourteen
point caps at the head of speech
taking up the entire first page and
countless succeeding pages. Now he
will be compelled to look for his en-
balmed oratory away back among
the lads" of government documents,
subscription rates of the Record, and
the residence addresses of members.
What the Practice Has Been.
The practice has been to print in
the first part of the Record long set
speeches made in either house, but
withheld on the day of delivery for
revision. They might be printed any
where from one day to six months
later. Following these revised
speeches would be the proceedings
of the senate and following them the
proceedings of the house.
Now the proceedings of the senate
will begin on the first page and be
followed by the proceedings of the
house, after which will come the be-
lated speeches.
The change was ordered by the
joint committee on printing, of which
Senator Smoot is chairman. There
are several explanations of the situa-
ton which resulted in the order One
is that the republican regulars are
peevish because of the frequency with
which Senator La FOllette's speeches
appear on the first page of the Rec
ord AS hundreds of thousands OF
copies of these issues go out over
the country it was feared by the reg
ulars that the people might think La
Toilette was the whole senate.
Find Choice Embarrassing.
The Official explanation is that when
there are several revised speeches
to be printed it is embarrassing to
select the one for the first page, and
this situation has led to much un-
pleasantness among the rival asplr-
ants for the honor.
The practice of Withholding and
revising speeches has been greatly
abused Congressional orators are in
the habit of eliminating things they
said on the floor and inserting things
they did not say, not to men,
ton adjoining their illusions with
mythical applause" great demon
stration," laughter" and "handshak-
ing"
Nine.tenths of the speeches with
held for revision" never are deliver
ed on the floor at all. The result is
that the Record furnishes an account
not of what takes place in congress
but what the members want their
constituents to believe takes place.
The most notorious Offenders IN
this respect are senators and repre-
sentatives who almost daily are heard
lamenting the 'mendacious and fax
ing American newspaper.

While Miss Cora Wolff, the Olivia
young woman who was murdered by
her lover, Edward Corey, an hour
early last Saturday morning, the
young man finishing his carnival OF
crime by killing himself, was attend
ing the Mankato Commercial college
year ago. She came down the stair
way one day and found Corey wait
ing for her on Front street. She
became very much frightened and
ran back up stairs and reported her
fears that Corey meant to harm her.
The police were summoned and took
Corey to the city hall, where he
agreed to leave the city at once, say
ing that he meant Miss Wolff no
harm. He went, and was not seen in
Mankato again.
Miss Wolff never encouraged
Corey's attentions, but he was so
completely infatuated by her that
his weak brain was turned and he
made threats and acted so that she
feared that he would try to kill her,
as far back as then. The occurrence
was reported by The Free Press at
been living in constant fear of the
fellow, and she had reported her
fears to the authorities just before
the shooting and they had seen
Corey and he had left Olivia, as he
left Mankato, but he went to another
town and purchased revolver and
returned and gained access to Miss
Corey's room, having stolen the key
to the house. Her father was
aroused by her screams and when
he appeared, Corey shot and killed
him. For more than an hour he
terrorized the young girl, until the
sheriff could notify the marshal and
they went together to the house.
Then Corey shot the girl and took
his own life. 1t was one Of the
most terrible tragedies that ever &C.
Cured in the state, and might have
been prevented by imprisoning Corey
after he made the threats.

Cora, missed her and went to look
,, for her and found her lying uncon-
scious in the garden. Miss Cora call
ed assistance and got her sister into
the house and summoned a phys-
clan. Until then, the family did not

ease. She did not regain conscious
ness.

her delicate health the past few
years prevented her from taking the

chicago, august lU.-A,- SUMMARY
of the crimes committed by members
of the so-called Black Hand in this
city during the year 1911, gives =
total of eighteen murders, scores OF
Standings and more than 100 bomb
explosions, 100000 COLLECTED in
blackmail and the infection of in
calculable misery upon thousands by
sinister threats.
During March of the present year
four murders were committed near
one street corner in what is known
as Little Sicily" alone. That month
also was more than ordinarily pro-
life in bomb explosions, in all Of
which considerable damage to prop
erty was done
Threatened Judge Lands.
During the trial Of an Italian man,
ed John Alangi on charge Ofssend-
ing threatening letters through the
mails, Judge Lands of the federal
court, before whom. the case was
tried, received a letter in which this
threat was made:
Discharge John lAlangi or we
will kill you as we killed the others"
A "scare bomb" was placed out
sue Tie uOOI VI JOu5c hnhulo Sh@hi
bers in the federal building.
Following one of the worst PERIODS
of Black Hand outbreaks, an Organi-
cation of law-abiding Italians known
as the White Hand was formed, the
members thinking their Familiarity
with Italian customs and the lang
uage would aid the police lin COM
batting the assassins, but the or
ganization proved of little assistance
to the police.
"Epocr of Blood"
The chief Italian newspaper COM
mented on the condition as follows:
"An epoch of blood, of cruel slaugh-
ter, of ferocious,t vendettas is what
the Italian colony here is going
through. Todaygthe killings are not
committed to avenge the lihonor OF
a wife or sister or daughter. The
crimes are committed in almost all
instances in the name of the Black
Hand or of organized crime. The
motive is money"
Fire, which the police declared to
be of incendiary origin last night
destroyed two houses on Gault
court, near the center of what has
come to be known as the Black Hand
belt. No one was injured, but the
Italian residents of the neighbor-
hood were terrorstricken and rushed
to the streets, fearing an explosion.

From SATURDAYS Daily. -,
Harry Rug, the victim of Hall
Green's lust for a few paltry dollars,
was buried in the LeSueur cemetery
late yesterday afternoon. 1t was
about four o'clock when the inter-
ment took place. Coroner Burnett
instructed the undertaken to bury the
man who was murdered in cold blood
by mere boy. No clergyman.
priest or friend was near to pro-
nounce a few words while the body
was being lowered to it's final resting
place. This omission seems mex
cusable. Ministers of the gospel will
always respond whenever called upon
to act at burials, and the remains
of no human being, however lowly
in life, should be lowered in the
grave without some word being said
in behalf of the soul which has taken
it's flight. Harry Rug may have been
a tramp, but he had mOther-and
a good mother, too-and for her sake,
if for no other reason, he should
have been given a Christian burial.
The mother paid the funeral ex-
penses, $41.5O.
Hall Green will probably have his
hearing at LIE Sueur on August IL,
the date set for the examination OF
Pat Masterson, who is cleared OF
the crime charged against him, but
he is being held as witness.
Hall Green has put forth no more
stories. He is much depressed in
spirit and spends most of his time
lying down in his cell in the county
Jail at LIE Sueur Center.
Detective Fielding has returned to
st. Paul, having satisfied himself that
his services are no longer necessary
on the case, at present at least.
The district court grand jury will
meet on September Is and Green's
case will be considered.
That Green will attempt to repudi-
ate his confession is not unlikely.

COBB COUNTY MAN
WRITES FROM WEST.
Mr.. R. E. Adams Tells of the Busy
City of Cleveland, Ohio, the
Home of Rockefeller.
EAST CLEVELAND, OHIO, July 8,

EAST CLEVELAND, OHIO, July 3,
Editor Marietta Journal:
About two months ago, when /
left Marietta for Cleveland Ohio, |
promised to write you something.
Every week, when your progressive
paper comes to hand, guilty feel
ing gives me a punch in my conscience
for a promise not fulfilled.
Cleveland, is such an awful big
city if / knew where to begin would
not know where to end. When |
came here way back in 1858 to read
law in my brothers office the popula-
ton was about $4,000. Now it is
over $50, 900 and still increasing in
geometrical ratio by the rule of i'm
migration and propagation. There
are immigrants here from every
nation under the sun. The city is
spreading out in every direction, even
toward Lake Erie by walling out
the waves.
! Some of your readers have seen
or heard about Euclid Ave, that
extends out from the square east
ward some IL miles or more. About
fifty years ago my two brothers
bought farm of $50 acres-a mile
and a half from the little town of
Euclid. The Avenue is paved beyond
my brothers farm and automobiles
and trolley cars are rushing by with
lightning speed to and from Cleve-
land.
If | should tell you land out here
that was bought for less than $50
an acre is now worth from $500 to
$500 an acre for suburban homes,
you might say | had been fishing.
The gentlemen whose names are
at the top of this page are deeply in
the real estate business. My son-in-
law is associated with them. They
have three automobiles with whit h
to show their customers lands and
lots; they are making good money.
John D. Rockefeller returned
to Cleveland a few days ago and is
at his summer place up on Euclid
Heights. People of Cleveland think
a good deal of him. He is willing to
comply with the decision of the
United States Supreme Court. |
have not time to write of the super
Tor advantages this city has in trans
portation facilities.
This city is the cleanest, conse-
quently the healthiest city for its
population, to be found. We start
for our old home in Whitehall New
York July 18th; will write you again
when the spirit moves my muscles
to write.
Yours truly
R. E. Adams.
