New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1915-10-13

short distance out of the main part of the city,
on Herman Heights, is located a we'll kept and
popular park which centers around the gigantic
statue of Arminus who holds his monitory sword
over the city of New Ulm This park is the scene
OF many celebrations, varying in character from
the national conventions of the Sons of Hermann
to local and even personal celebrations where only
two congenlal spirits partake of communion with
Nature. From Herman Heights one may obtain
birds eye view of the whole city which alone re-
pays the effort expended in the walk and the climb
up the College Hill.
1t has often been said that New Ulm has been laid
out with rare foresight and skill in providing for
parks advantageously located. In this respect
with the park system Of Minneapolis. German
park, only block from TIE main business street,
is the popular Sunday evening resort of the New
Ulm public. Here Sundays. the Second Regi-
ment Band gives public concerts which are always
well attended. The band stand in the center of
the park is in itself good example of architectural
beauty. 1t is an enclosed stand, built of cobble-
stone and stucco, and completed year ago.
The grassy SLOPE, well shaded with trees, forms
natural amphitheatre for the audience. This
park is well kept up by the city, the walks are neat
" graveled and lined with beautiful flower beds.
There is also very pretty fountain and leading
to the First North Street entrance is long avenue
OF pines. These trees were planted there thirty
years ago by Joseph Schumacher, one Of those Ger
mans OF New Ulm whose love CT beauty and whose
tnought tor the coming generations led him to spare
no effort IN adding to this pleasant place. No other
monument could so we'll picture the real nature
OF the man it commentaries as does that double
row OF tall and sturdy pines. Countless are the
happy hours the old trees have looked down upon.

by the city and pleasant graveled walks crossing
the park.
In one corner is an old ruin overgrowr with vines
and grass, making picturesque spot. It speaks to
those who know the history of the city of days
before the Outbreak. 1t was the old August Triton

All the cattle infected in the yards
at Chicago, Pittsburgh, Indianapolis,

for immediate slaughter The yards
will remain closed until they have

The statement added:
I'm the opinion of the federal au-

phasizes the necessity of adhering for
some time longer to the quarantine
regulations that prohibit the shipment
of any stock from the quarantined

ate slaughter and also prohibit it's

The government also holds that

Is prepared to bring every one of the
ninety-six senators into the chamber
and keep them there until the bill is,
disposed of.
His proposal drew a roaring attack
and gave prospect of furnishing ma
terjal for an all days debate in the
waiting, practically where it has been
for the last two weeks. At noon the
senate had been in session twenty -fonr
hours.
Vice President Marshall, finally in
terrupting the debate, ruled that mas
much as Reeds original proposal was
not debatable, the appeal was not de-
batable. From this ruling Lodge ap-
pealed and the senate, by a vote of
forty six to thirty eight, refused to
sustain the chair,
Following the vote, the vice presi-
dent, with unanimous consent. decreed
that all intervening motions had been
decided, and the question before the

tinuous attendance and the motion was
debatable. Hitchcock took up the de-
bate, speaking on his substitute.

were stout in declarations that there
would be no more breathing spells, and
no let UP until the deadlock is broken.
At noon every member was on the
floor except Lewis, who was i'll and
was sleeping nearby. 1t was the first
time In years that all the seats had
been filled. The debate On Reeds pro-

Tax Commission
Probe Broke Loose
at Bismarck Today

Bismarck Nd. Feb. 9.-The tax commits
sion investigation E'broke loose today when
members of the commission gave out statement
charging the legislative committee with acting in
bad faith. But they shortly afterwards withdrew
the statement. Affairs within the committee are
said to be uncertain, there being some sentiment
for recommendation that aone-man commission
be created to take the place of the present three
man commission.
In theeve of such report it viii be attack
ed the theory that this Investigating commit
tee is not authorized under the senate or the Mar
tin resolution which created the committee to
make any recommendations with respect to the
legislative treatment of the commission.
The only feature some members of the joint
committee desire to cover relates to the property
supposed to have been added to the tax rolls to-
gether with statement of cost No recommen-
dation with reference to the continuance of COM
mission on the present basis will be countenanced

ACTION
NOT A BLOCKADE

Berlin. via The Hague to London.
Feb, s.-The naval measures Of Ger
many against British commerce are in
no sense blockade. No hostile action
against neutral shipping is con-
templateA. German submarines and
warshipS will endeavor by every means
in their power to avoid sinking Am
erican and other neutral ships and will
take every precaution to avoid mis-
take.
The above may be taken as the cor
rect Interpretation placed upon the
German proclamation in competent
circles in Berlin.
The proclamation declaring the
waters around Great Britain to be
war zone, like similar British measures
which were taken as a precedent, Is
designed, it is asserted, to warn neu-
trails that ship venturing into the
naval field of operations exposes itself,
in the same fashion as civilian
wandering on a land battle field, to the
risk of being struck by chance shot.
1t was stated that it might be safely
asserted that the Germans have no
intention of sinking an American ship
unless she is carrying contraband of
war. and then only If her crew can be
given the possibility of escape. 1t was
added, however, that war measures
will be carried out against British
trade with all possible severity in order
ito give England a taste of her own
medicine"
The warning to neutral shipping, 1T
was asserted, was considered as
particularly needed in view of the re-
ported order to British ships to hoist
a neutral flag whenever they are IN
danger, an order which, il adhered to,
1t was stated, would make it difficult
for a German warship to discriminate
between neutral and hostile shipping.

Many New Measures
Before the Legislature

Bismarck. N. D., Feb. 9.--Among the
new bills introduced this afternoon in
the house was one providing that the
secretary of the board of railroad COM
missioners be chosen from the board
membership and a saving of one
salary be made.
Against Aholishing War Dens.
The house fish and game committee
returned a divided report on the
Kringen bill providing for the abolish
ment of the office Of game warden and
putting the enforcement of the game
law in the hands OF county sheriff. The
majority OF the committee was for
indefinite postponement.
The house railroad committee re-
commended for indefinite postponc-
ment the McClintock bill providing
that railroad commissioners be elected
for six year terms. This recommenda-
tion was made, not because the bill
did not have merit but because 1t con-
nicted with the new scheme for quad
rennial election of state and county
officers.
Constitutional Convention.

Vast Task Of Getting
Supplies to an Army

ed by the fact that during the past
month the supplies furnished included
$50 miles OF telephone wire, $4,000
handbags and 10000 pounds of shoe
blacking, while in ten days the ord
nance department supplied 10000 fur
waistcoats and 100000 flannel belts.
The average weekly issue OF ointment
for feet is five tons.
The complexity of the work is Ill
lustrated by the fact that the index
of the stores include $4,000 separate
kinds of articles. Most of these still
are obtained from England, but some
are being manufactured by the ord
nance department in its own work
shops In France. The problems OF
