never play ball again in Gotham. Word
has been received in New York that Me-
Cormick has been sold to the Chatta-

he will succeed Norman Eberfleld, who
has cast his lot with the New Orleans
club of the same league. Mccormick
has been with the Giants since 1910
and has won fame by his ability as a
pinch hitter. He even shone in the re-

Advisory Board Approval.
This is the first factory PROPOSE
ton which has been put up to the
Commercial club which has appealed
to the advisory board as being a
desirable one, but in this case the
advisory board has given it's un-
qualified approval of Ihe proposition.
Mankato people have been wanting
factories and this is splendid OPP
portunity of securing for Mankato a
business which will bring consider
able money to the business people
of the city. The employees of the
factory are men drawing good wages
and who live WELL 1t will mean
that much of the money will stay
right in the city.
Mr.. Phil appears to be a very en-.
ergetic and ambitious man. and the
advisory board believes him to be
a man of honor and integrity. He is
willing to hold this proposition open
to Mankato for a few days more
and final effort to raise money
will be made. If there are any peo-
ple who have not been solicited for
stock the committee and the secre-
tary of the club desire that such
persons shall notify them and have
the matter fully gone over. 1t is a
proposition which Mankato cannot
afford to pass up.

Washington, d. c., July 26.-Sen-
ator Knute Nelson and Assistant At
torney General c.. l.. Weeks yester-

General McReynolds relative to the
question as to whether the eight
hour law shall apply in the con-
struction of the scenic highway from

which the government is to contrib
ute $25,000. An arrangement was
made to file brief within week,
following which the department of
justice will send .an opinion to the
secretary of agriculture.
Mr.. Weeks left here for New York
and Albany last night on business
connected with the state insurance
department. He will send his brief
to Washington after his arrival
home. Mr.. Weeks said that no mat
ttr what the decision in regard to
the eight-hour law the scenic, high
way would be constructed as plan

"Of course a decision that the
,eighthour shall apply will mean an
additional cost, but the county will

Fred A. Briggs of Minneapolis,
who was sent to state prison for
highway robbery following the charge
that he sheltered Jerry Mccarthy,
the yeggman, and aided him in his
crimes after his escape from state
prison, must stay in prison until the
end of his term. The state supreme
court has denied his appeal from his
sentence.
The crime for which Briggs was
convicted was the holding up of
Martin Brennan of Minneapolis, by
Mccarthy. July 3,o1l911. Briggs was
not present but itiowas alleged he
aided, counseled and advised the
commission of the crime.
Mccarthy, with Peter Juhl, who
later shot Detective Frank Fraser in
st. Paul, had escaped from prison in
March, 1911, and it was alleged that
time, and knew his whereabouts.
Briggs was arrested shortly after the
duel in which Mccarthy and Police
man Joseph Olinger of Minneapolis
were both shot and killed
Briggs was convicted largely on
the testimony of Arthur benson who
was also an accomplice of Mccarthy
and whose automobile was used to
enable Mccarthy to make a quick
getaway. Denson,s however, asserted
that he was coerced to Briggs and
Mccarthy. Briggs in his appeal ques-
toned Denson's testimony but the
opinion, written by Chief Justice C.
L. Brown, says the court finds no
reason for disagreeing with the find
ings of the jury.

Statement BY Attorney.

Statement BY Attorney.
S. B. Wilson, attorney for Mr..
Hildenbrand, said today:
"The statement that Mr.. Hilden-
brands liabilities are s40,293.45 is
somewhat misleading. His schedule
as filed shows $1O,81O.41 represented
by notes given to the Hamiltons
when they sold the hotel to him.
G. w. Miller was also liable on this
paper but when Hildenbrand bought
him out he assumed this indebted.
ness and therefore Hildenbrand had
to list Miller as creditor for the
same item of $10,810.41 The bank
bought part of this paper and it is
also listed as creditor whereas this
same paper represents all of these
parties and in the statement sent
out by this st. Paul concern they
seem to add each of these creditors
as separate ones. However, Mr. Hill.
denbrand owes a great deal and the
amount is not important were it
not for the fact the statement sent
Oul 10 NOIy OHC.
Insofar as the statement refers
to receipts and disbursements is con.
cerned l do not feel qualified to
speak, but l doubt if the hotel had
any such income and the item for
provisions is undoubtedly too low
It's easy enough for the ST. Paul
people to make charges but it's an.
other thing to prove them. This
statement is a libel and they say
it is sent out to get the creditors
to put up money to investigate.
But what is the 'expense?'
"Mr. Hildenbrand is ready to come
here and appear in court and answer
! any questions the creditors want in
/ formation about and it will not cost
one cent. hardly think there is
any occasion for such libelous let
/ ter to be sent out to creditors, most
! of whom know more about this mat
! ter than the author of this letter"
