Hutchinson Leader: Last year the
people of Minnesota paid the insur-
ance companies eight million dollars
in premiums and received back four
million in losses paid. The other four
million went to the companies for ex-
penses, agents commissions, and pro-
fits. Nobody will believe that it is not
an exorbitant profit, ill-gotten gain ex-
torted from the people Of the state by
the insurance trust. Some time ago
when the Leader showed up how the
property owners of Hutchinson were
paying too much for their insurance
this paper was assailed by insurance
men for its "ignorance" Of the insur-
ance business and we were assured
that the companies were not in fact
making large profits. Be that as it
may, if the officers Of any farmers
mutual insurance company in the state
used half Of it's income for the run
ming expenses of the business, there
would be change Of officers mighty
quick.

ZEPPELIN SHELLS
TOWNS IN BRITAIN
REACHES eLYTH FROM ACROSS
THE NORTH sEA-DRoPs
TWENTY BOMBS,
NO LOSS OF LIFE REPORTED
-lrship Sails at Altitude of 1000 Feet
-Electric Lights Extinguished and
Other Precautions Taken to
Ward Of Attack,

New Castle, April 15.-A Zeppelin
raid just been made i'm the Tyne dis.
trict of Northumberland county. It
appears that the Zeppelin reached
Blyth from across the North Sea,
passed over Blyth and Cramlington and
proceeded to the neighborhood of Sea-
tonburn.
Bombs were dropped on several of
the villages passed by the airship, five
at Choppington, three at Wallsend,
two at Seatonburn and one at Bed
lington: The airship passed near
North Shields and New Castle. While
neither city was visited both took pre-
cautions against attack by extinguish-
ing the electric lights.
No Lives Lost.
Full inquiry shows that no loss OF
life or serious personal injury resulted
from the Zeppelin raid and that al
though several small houses were
damaged the material loss was not
very heavy.
1t was an ideal night. There were
no clouds and no wind, but the night
was dark. The airship sailed at an
altitude estimated at 1000 feet and
was first supposed at Blyth t. be q
British machine, as it hovel> / over
that town for a. few minutes. When it
was ascertained, however, that it was
a German dirigible the news was tele-
graphed to all neighboring towns,
where electric lights were extinguished
and the other customary precautions
taken to ward off an attack. There
appears to have been no panic any,
where.
Follows Railroad Track.
In addition to Choppington, Walls
end, Seatonburn and Bedlington,
bombs were dropped on other villages.
The Zeppelin followed the track of
the railroad. When last seen it passed
seaward at the mouth of the Tyne.
BY II o'clock the district over which
the Zeppelin flew had resumed it's
normal aspect.
The failure of the air raid to cause
any serious damage is attributed to
the prompt measures taken to plunge
Ill the towns in the district into dark
ness when the alarm was given.
Twenty Bombs Dropped.
The general belief is that it was the
intention of the air craft crew to drop
bombs on the Tyne shipbuilding yard,
but only ONE missile fell even near the
yard. This did no damage. It is esti-
mated that 20 bombs, a majority of
them of incendiary variety, were
dropped, but all the fires started by
them were quickly quenched. The
fact that the town Of Newcastle was
completely missed by the raider un-
doubtedly was due to the fact that all
lights were put out when the Zeppelin
was reported.

st. Cloud Journal-Press: Gov. Ham
appointed Charles E. Vasaly member
of the board Of control, against the
bitter opposition of the recognized
leaders of the democratic party. It is
true that Vasaly had the support Of
many influential men and women
throughout the state, but the governor
in turning down the men who won for
him the nomination and election as
governor has started trouble for him
self and his party. The independence
of the governor will be applauded by
many opposed to machine dictation,
but in democratic politics it is the ma
chine that rules in the long run.
The Herald, without wishing for ar
gument, thinks some comment on the
above should be made. The J-P. does
not know the facts apparently. The
governor did not turn down, in reap
pointing Mr.. Vasaly, the men who
won for him nomination and election.
A sufficient answer to this is that
among the democrats favoring the re-
tention of Mr.. Vasaly were Chairman
A. L. Sorter of the state committee,

The anti-roadhouse bill, which has

votes being registered against it.
There has been some question raised as
to it's validity as in bringing the mat

ed two-thirds Of those present, but
not two thirds of the whole house, the
speaker changing his opinion on the

JAP TROOPS IN California;
FOUR THOUSAND MEN REPORTED
IN TURTLE BAY.
Five Warships Assemble and Mine
Harpor, Says Correspondents
Washington Diseredits Story.

Los Angeles, CAL, April 15.-Un-
usual excitement was caused through
out California and along the Pacific
coast when special agent of the Los
Angeles Times returned from Turtle
Bay in Lower California and made his
report. He says Japan has 1000 men
and five warships in the bay where
the Asama is grounded.
The Times man visited the harbor'
and heard enough to convince him that
the grounding of the Asama was or
dered by the Japanese government in
order that naval base could be es-
tablished under guise of salvaging the
disabled ship.
Believes Harbor is Mined.
The reporter says he has every rea-
son to believe that the entire harbor
is mined and says the Japanese have
established big camp and are pre-
pared to stay indefinitely.
He declares it has long been a mat
ter of speculation why the Asama had
not been repaired and the presence Of
additional warships is not warranted.
inasmuch as there is no danger of an
attack upon the crippled warship, as
there are no German raiders in tho
Pacific.
To Repair Asama.
The Japanese claim they are watt
ing for the arrival of great crane
ship in order to lift the Aasama back
into position and make the necessary
repairs. The fact that she grounded
at that particular spot has always
been a matter Of curiosity. American
ships went to her rescue Immediately
after the accident, but withdrew when
the other Japanese warships arrived
and said they would need no further
assistance. At that time the presence
of these ships did not excite any COM
ment, as it was supposed two or more
German raiders were in Pacific waters.
but that peril has long since departed.
No effort is being made to float the
Asama, which the correspondent AYERS
is lying in soft mud at the entrance
to the harbor.
Washington Not Concerned.
Washington, April 15.-Reports from
Los Angeles that Japanese battleships
were in Turtle Bay, Lower California,
and had landed Japanese sailors on
Mexican soil, caused no concern or
excitement in administration circles.
While no credence is placed in tho
report of the landing of the sailors it
may be possible they were given Z.
shore leave for a short time. This
caused no alarm or concern.
Directions have been sent, however.
to government officials at Los Angeles
to investigate and report on the ru-
mOrs.

cannot be said but what. generally
speaking, there has been a most
friendly feeling between the county
seat and the balance of the county,
but that through this gathering, this
kindly feeling has been augmented,
there is no doubt. Cooperation, which
is SO necessary in the prosperity and
