SUIT AGAINST TWO OFFICIALS

Island Lakes legal right to be
classed as corporate village of the
state of Minnesota is being question
ed in case which is being heard be-
fore Judge G. w. Stanton in district
court this afternoon. The action is
brought by Lyndon A. Smith, attor-
ney general, against w. J. Hick-
erson and w. H. Whelan, the presi-
dent and recorder of the village.
Judge Nethaway and E. E. Me-
Donald, appearing for the attorney
general, and Henry Funkley, repre-
senting the defendants, stipulated to
try the action today when the mat
ter was up for trial a week ago.
The real object of the proceedings
is to prevent the issuance of a sa-
loon license, as it is claimed that the
sale of liquor would be largely to
1ndiape, the village being only a
short distance from the Red Lake
reservation.
Island Lake was incorporated in
1905, when it was claimed that it
contained $50 inhabitants. The state
now. claims that there were never
more than Is persons there and that
now it does not contain half that
number. The village as incorpora-
ted is four miles long and three
miles wide ast ->a.- d. -.

at Becker Trial.

"Dago Franks" Confession Not Read
at Becker Trial.
New York, May 21.-The confession
that Dago Frank Cirofici made an
hour before he went to the electric
chair at Sing Sing will not help
Charles Becker in his fight to prove
his innocence of the murder of Her.
man Rosenthal, for which Cirofici and
his three companions already have
paid the penalty.
The supreme court, before which
Becker is on trial for the second time,
refused to admit testimony dealing
with this confession.
Dago Frank swore he never had
heard the name of Becker mentioned.
Becker's face fell when he heard the
ruling.
The court held that evidence per-
tanning to the confession was not ad-
MISSILE because it was an incident
that occurred after the murder.

Appear To Favor Plan.
Just previous to the calling Of the
meeting several of the representa-
tives gathered at the court hous,
and appeared to favor the construc-
ton of the institution. The fact
that the state is willing to assist in
the establishment of santorium is
strong inducement to every county
of the state. Should the three coun-
ties decide to take advantage of the
plan, the commissioners of each coun-
ty may levy tax not to exceed one
mill on the dollar on taxable prop
erty for the county's part of the erec-
ton and equipment. The state pays
half the cost and the board of con-
troll shall have charge of the erection
and equipment.
County Boards To Act.
The meeting this afternoon was
held in order that the three boards
might become familiar with the pro-
position. The plans will he submit
ted at the regular meeting and defin-
tie action taken.
There is much criticism to the
counties which have not taken adj
vantage Of the state offer, and
places which have them in operation
claim they are a great success and
an aid to public health.
