Minneapolis, Mimi. The Won.
ans Federated clubs of Minnesota, rep.
resenting $4,000 women feel that they
have been indicated in their protest
against the decision of Judge Smith
Mcpherson of the federal court, who
had sentenced Mathew McNabb, who
had pleaded guilty to violation Of
the white slave act. for the minimum
term of 80 days in the workhouse.
The satisfaction of the women of the
federated clubs lies in the indictment
by the Ramsey county grand jury Of
McNabb for violation of the Mime
sofa statutes. County Attorney
O'Brien says that he has the evidence
which was gathered by the federal
secret agents, which should convict
McNabb under the Minnesota law. He
would not permit the details of the
indictment to be read, his first rea-
son being that it disclosed the name of
the young girl involved in the case,
and also because certain of the testi.
mony that had been submitted to the
grand jury might disclose to the coun.
sci for McNabb information that he
wished to protect. 1t will be October
next before McNabb will come to trail

months and fine of $1,000.

STATE BANKERS CONVENTION
INSPECTION MADE OF UNIvER
SITYS STABLES.
Financial Men Lowed TO s,een nv
Dairy Cows at Early
Hour

minneapolis, - The five hundred
delegates to the annual convention of
the Minnesota Bankers association
listened attentiyely to long program
IN the agricultural college auditorium.
visited every point of interest at the
University farm in a two hours in
spectlon tour, ate an eight cent sup
per at the dining hall, attended a
moving picture show at the chanel in
the evening, and retired to rest in
the dormitories at 10 p. m. sharp,
where they were lulled to sleep by
the lowing of the cows and the plain
tive bleating of lambs in the expert
mental farm barnyards. 1t was a
strenuous day for the custodians of
the states wealth, but they enjoyed
it to the end.
Inc 5OO visitors and wives were di-
vided into three sections and. led by
faculty guides, were taken to every
building and field at the farm. Exhib.
it's of the different departments had
been arranged by Dean Woods, and
not a one was missed. There were
demonstrations in farm management,
the control of insects, the annihila-
ton of noxious weed seeds, the plant
ing of seeds and the testing of grain,
the spraying of fruits, the manufac-
ture of butter and cheese, blacksmith
ing, veterinary work, and dozens of
other things. AS interesting as any
was a visit to the stables where the
cows were being MIXED and the cat
tie, sheep, and hogs were being fed.
With the tour of buildings finished,
sumptious farm supper was enjoyed
at the college dining hall. after which
all tlocked to the chapel where NOV
ing pictures of the Indian Durbar,
or Delhi coronation ceremonies, were
thrown upon screen on the stage.
This finished, all returned to the dor
mitories, and at 10 p. m. everything
was quiet.
The afternoon session-one of adj
dresses only-was opened by Dean
Woods, who spoke on Agricultural
Education in Minnesota"

This total would show that A. B..
received so first choice votes, more
than any other single candidate. But
the total number of first choice votes
cast numbered 100, so he would not
receive a majority.
Sixty-one votes would give major
ity. AS no candidate received a ma
jority of votes, G. H., who received
the least number, would be eliminated.
He received, but five first choice votes.
Each of these, however, would express
a second choice vote. The table
shows that three expressed a second
choice for A. B., one for G. D., and
one for E. F.,
Then, under the rule, the first choice
vote of A. B., G. d. and E. F. would
be combined with the second choice
votes each received from those voters
who originally voted for G. H., A. B.,
having received three votes, this total
would be increased from the original
so first votes to So. This would not
be majority so the next lowest man,
E. F., would be eliminated, ana his
second choice votes applied. OF these,
A. B. received Is and C. D. none. A..
B. at this point has increased his orr
ginal first choice vote of so to 6S by
the three second choice votes he re-
ceived from the voters who had voted
for g. H., first choice and Is from
those voted for e. F., first choice. On
the other hand, G. D., who stood next
highest in the race, received but one
second choice vote, from G H. and
none from E. F. Then his original 40
first choice votes would be increased
by but one. A. B., in other words. has
total of 68 votes or more than a
majority Of the total of the original
first choice votes cast and he would
be declared the nominee.
The theory carried further is this,
that A. B. received either a first or
second choice vote from the majority
of all the voters voting at the cleo
ton. He received so first choice votes
at the outset. To this was added the
second choice votes of Is who voted
for E. F. and three from those who
voted for G. H. His nomination would
be by majority.
AS applied to the three largest cities
the law means that as far as the nomi-
nations for state legislative, congress.
ional, United States senator's, and
county officers are concerned the sec
ond choice rule would apply. The
nominations of all judges, municipal
officers in Minneapolis and the county
superintendent of school are placed
on non-partisan basis.
Here the second choice provision
does not apply. But the two men re.
ceiving the highest number of votes
for each office at the primary election
are declared the non-partisan nom.
inees They will oppose each other for
the office at to general election.

MAST TREES FOR THE CROWN
Mark OF the Broad Arrow Was
Placed on Pines In Plymouth
Colony.

In the provincial charter Of 1861.
under which the Plymouth colony and
the province of Maine were united
with Massachusetts,. It was provided
that all trees OF the diameter of 20
inches and upward at IL inches from
the ground. growing upon land not
heretofore granted to any private per-
son, should be reserved to the crows
for the furnishing Of masts for th3
royal navy. Harper's Weekly oh.
serves.
A surveyor general Of woods was
appointed to see that this provision Of
the charter was carried into effect.
Near the coast all white pines Of suit.
able dimensions were marked with the
broad arrow"--three cuts through
the bark with an AK. like the track OF
crow. This was the kings mark.
Long after the revolution had oblit.
Grated the royal authority men who
had been taught In boyhood to respect
the kings mark hesitated to cut such
trees.
In telling tree It was necessary
to bed It" to prevent its breaking.
This was done by cutting tho small
growth and placing small trees across
the hollow. SO that there should be
no strain upon one section more than
upon another when the monster pine
struck ground.
The mast was hauled out, Of the
woods on one strong sled. whether In
winter or summer. and 40 many oxen
were required that the hind pair were
